The streets were brightly lit with lanterns.
A young man and woman walked side by side.
Ao Qing started a conversation, talking about Yang Chan's daily affairs of governing Mount Hua.
Yang Chan held her belly with both hands, her smile serene, gentle and beautiful.
"I must thank you, Brother Ao, for this."
"Otherwise, if I had snuck out this time, I'm afraid I would have been gossiped about again."
"As for governing Mount Hua, most of the time, it's just watching the mountain villagers and tourists."
"I heard that Brother Ao is in charge of West Lake. There must be many people there, right?"
Ao Qing had been in his post for half a year. Before Jinse brought the Gu Yuan to him, he often responded to the people.
He would either manifest divine miracles, or cure plagues, or deal with simple cases of demonic mischief.
After Jinse arrived, these matters were all left to Jinse and Xia Gu.
However, since it was just casual chatter, Ao Qing wasn't worried about the Third Saint Mother spreading rumors, so he casually discussed the current situation of West Lake.
After listening, Yang Chan said with longing,
"So Brother Ao's life is so interesting."
"Near Mount Hua, there's only me. Apart from watching the pilgrims who come up the mountain to pray every day, I have nothing to do."
She was about to say something else when she saw Ao Qing suddenly turn his head to look behind him.
She turned around with him and discovered the Bai sisters, sneaking behind them.
Bai Mei Ying pulled Bai Lan Ying, peering at the front, pointing at Ao Qing and the Third Saint Mother, saying,
"Look, it's just the two of them now. The opportunity is here."
Lan Ying still felt a little too intrusive, hesitant and unwilling to go.
Bai Mei Ying simply hugged her sister and chased after them with her long legs.
As Bai Mei Ying started running, Ao Qing noticed them.
He stopped, making the two fox sisters jump in surprise.
Bai Mei Ying looked at Ao Qing, whose expression was stern, and then at Yang Chan, who was as gentle as water, feeling a little helpless as she stood there.
She touched her head, smiling hesitantly.
"Um, I have some information. Do you want it?"
Yang Chan glanced at Ao Qing, then at the two sisters who were already trembling in fear, and smiled, "Tell us."
Bai Mei Ying, as if relieved, spilled the beans, telling her all about the Five Demons.
Yang Chan frowned, pondering for a moment, unsure of Ao Qing's thoughts.
Ao Qing stared at Bai Mei Ying for a couple of seconds.
Through the wisps of energy emanating from the fox girl, he saw a small celestial being from the Heavenly Court behind her.
There were six Heavenly Court deities, the Literary, Martial, and Wealth Gods, who resided in the Palace of Wealth.
These six Wealth Gods each had thousands of small Wealth Gods under their command.
Many years ago, one of these small Wealth Gods descended to bestow blessings, but was injured and pursued by the demon race.
During his escape, the small Wealth God was saved by the fox girl's past life, who ultimately died.
The small Wealth God begged one of the Martial Wealth Gods, exchanging his chance for rebirth for a few of them.
The fox girl was born in a fox den, with eight sisters.
The fox girl's father, Bai Da Wang, was about to ascend to become an immortal after a thousand years of cultivation, and wanted to choose an heir from the next generation to inherit his kingdom.
Then came a long, bloody story of love and hate.
Ao Qing recalled the whole story, and had only one feeling in his heart.
These foxes were so weak.
Their opponents were even weaker.
That small Wealth God was the weakest of them all.
Ao Qing's previous idea of personally going to eradicate them faltered.
He thought.
The mana he would consume killing those four demon heads might not even cover the cost of the journey.
At first, Ao Qing had thought about subduing the spider demon and the green snake demon of the Four Demons, letting them guard Jiang Xue and Xiang Yu.
But now he thought about it, those two female demons weren't even enough for Xiao Qing to fight.
They were probably only left for their aesthetic value.
Now Bai Jiu Mei was here.
Ao Qing's laziness flared up, not wanting to move himself.
He'd rather trick this little fox in front of him into doing this.
Having made up his mind.
Ao Qing looked at Bai Mei Ying, coldly saying,
"If this Monarch's information is correct, Jin Bu Huan was a servant of your father.
He first offended the Third Saint Mother of Mount Hua. This Monarch's act of slaying demons is also his duty."
"What, does your fox kingdom lack people, that everything needs to be handled personally by this Monarch?"
Bai Mei Ying's heart sank, a little aggrieved.
She had clearly come to report the news, why was it like she had done something wrong?
Her older sister, Bai Lan Ying, hurriedly said, "Dragon Monarch, you've misunderstood. My sister just felt that you can never be too careful, and specially came to inform you of the news."
Yang Chan secretly glanced at Ao Qing, imitating his posture, straightening her back and making a dignified appearance.
Ao Qing's expression softened slightly, giving a hard blow before giving a sweet date.
"They are the demons of your fox kingdom, and you should handle them yourselves."
"If you handle it well, this Monarch will have a reward for you."
"If these four demons come to bother this Monarch and the Third Saint Mother again."
"Then this Monarch will have no choice but to take action himself. At that time, you will have to give me an explanation."
Bai Mei Ying's face was sullen.
After Jin Bu Huan's death, she had been happy for half a day.
But now, a mountain suddenly pressed down on her, and Bai Mei Ying was stunned.
Bai Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the situation was now considered Ao Qing's grace.
She really didn't want to come with her sister at first.
Jin Bu Huan, as a general under their father, represented the fox kingdom in every action he took.
Jin Bu Huan provoked the heavenly immortals and was killed.
Jiu Mei should have just hidden herself and secretly laughed.
Now it's good, she sent herself to him, and bang, she took the blame.
But what could Bai Lan Ying say?
She could only obediently bow and accept this task.
Ao Qing pondered for a moment, stepped forward, and used his right hand to support Bai Lan Ying's forehead, using his magic to draw a spell.
"It's not that I don't let you do it, if you succeed, I will help you become the King of Demons."
Bai Lan Ying pouted.
Her father hadn't become an immortal yet, how come they were already considering making her the King of Demons?
But Ao Qing had already turned and left.
No matter how helpless Bai Lan Ying was, she could only support her sister and leave.
Once they were far away.
Ao Qing rubbed his face, grinning.
"Okay, the matter has been handed over, Saint Mother, where are you going to wander next?"
Being called Saint Mother by Ao Qing, Yang Chan's face flushed slightly.
"I heard there's a Qi Qiao Ge here. Let's go take a look."
