52: Chapter 52 Jin'er greets her master

"Nonsense."

Wen Hanyue did not believe him.

If she wanted to know whether what he said was true or false, she just needed to return to her clan and investigate the items she needed.

This boy still needed to be captured when the opportunity arose.

If it were true...

A cold glint flashed in Wen Hanyue's eyes.

But at this moment, faint black mist suddenly appeared in the surrounding air, and a cold, sinister aura permeated the heaven and earth.

"Giggle."

A laugh like silver bells echoed through the underground world.

This sound was extremely eerie.

It seemed to be right beside her ear, and she could feel a faint breath.

The next moment, Li Qing saw an extremely beautiful Black-clothed Young Woman appear behind Wen Hanyue.

But in the blink of an eye, she appeared behind that Elder Wen.

Then, she appeared behind Ye Lixian.

Her speed was like a ghost.

"What is that?"

Ye Lixian was worthy of being a Half-Step Immortal Platform expert; she instantly sensed the opponent's presence, and several sword shadows rushed out from her body, but they stabbed at nothing.

The next moment, Li Qing felt a touch of coldness brush across his cheek, and a fair, jade-like hand gently lifted his chin, revealing a peerless face before his eyes.

It was precisely that Black-clothed Young Woman.

At this moment, Wen Hanyue and the others also discovered the opponent's presence.

【Holy crap, isn't this the Nine Nether Fox? How did she get out?】

【This isn't right. She shouldn't have any role in the Wood Tomb Chamber plot.】

【How did she pop up?】

"Does Young Master know who this servant is?"

The Black-clothed Young Woman looked slightly startled.

"I don't know. Did I speak?" Li Qing was somewhat confused.

Didn't speak?

Then what did I hear just now?

Sound transmission? It didn't seem like it.

Could it be inner thoughts?

【How did she get out of the Heavenly Tomb's Sea of Blood?】

【Right, I remember now. The biggest beneficiary of the Qingxian City incident was Gu Beichen.】

【Not only did he obtain the vermilion bird sword, but when the giant pit appeared, he entered it directly. He should be in the Sea of Blood right now.】

【Although this part of the plot was glossed over, when this guy appears again, he becomes a King Sealing Realm Expert and has fused the Heaven and Earth Origin Phenomenon: Ninth-Rank world-purifying demonic lotus.】

【Could it be that she only got out because Gu Beichen was stirring up trouble in the Sea of Blood?】

【But this part wasn't in the original plot.】

【More importantly, by the time Gu Beichen reappears, the Nine Nether Fox has already become his concubine. She is also one of the female protagonists.】

This time, it was heard very clearly.

It wasn't sound transmission, and he hadn't spoken.

It was actually this man's inner voice.

But why can I hear his inner voice? Isn't my fated person the one in the Sea of Blood?

Interesting, very interesting.

That person is having a Breakthrough in the Sea of Blood. I felt bored and sensed an anomaly in the Wood Tomb Chamber, so I came over out of curiosity. I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person.

【The Nine Nether Fox shouldn't have refined the nine nether bone at this time.】

【Hehe, once the nine nether bone is refined, she will have her bones extracted and soul refined by Gu Beichen, becoming one of the Materials for the origin dao emperor weapon.】

【In the end, her Primordial Spirit will also become the artifact spirit of the origin dao emperor weapon.】

【Tsk tsk, you have to say, Gu Beichen knows how to play. He engages in Dual Cultivation with the Nine Nether Fox day and night, and after he's done, he leaves her without even a corpse.】

【What a pity. The Nine Nether Fox is infatuated with Gu Beichen, but she ends up with such a fate. How tragic.】

【This woman doesn't understand. In Gu Beichen's eyes, all women in the mortal world are merely playthings; only true fairies are worthy of becoming his Dao Companion.】

【Laugh, go ahead and laugh. Enjoy it while you're still alive.】

What?

Upon hearing this, the three women were all greatly shocked.

I thought it was miserable enough when Li Qing talked about my life, but I didn't expect this one to be even more miserable than me. At least I wasn't subjected to bone extraction and Soul Refining.

Ye Lixian looked at the Black-clothed Young Woman with rare sympathy.

She is actually even more miserable than me. At least I am still alive.

Shock surged in Wen Hanyue's heart.

This is impossible.

He is so gentle and considerate; how could he be such a person?

I don't believe it.

The Black-clothed Young Woman's pupils constricted slightly.

【Let me think about how Gu Beichen tricked her into his grasp.】

【I remember it being mentioned in the plot.】

【I remember now. In the Primordial Forbidden Land, Gu Beichen killed a remnant soul of a Nether Fox—it seems to be this one's biological father—and obtained the other's Nine Nether Fox Crystal.】

【The reason the Nine Nether Fox felt a sense of intimacy the first time she saw Gu Beichen was because of this Fox Crystal.】

【Later, the emperor soul inside Gu Beichen discovered the Nine Nether Fox's identity and told Gu Beichen to take out the Nine Nether Fox Crystal for her.】

【This guy lied to her, saying it was her father who wanted him to take good care of her, and the Nine Nether Fox immediately concluded that Gu Beichen was her fated person.】

【What a foolish fox.】

He even knows this?

The Black-clothed Young Woman's eyes widened instantly.

This scene fell into Wen Hanyue's eyes; her expression darkened slightly. Looking at the other's expression, this person seemed to be correct.

In that case, the things mentioned in his inner voice about her are likely true as well.

For a moment, Wen Hanyue's heart was in turmoil.

"How did you know?" The Black-clothed Young Woman looked at Li Qing in astonishment.

This Gu Beichen actually killed my father to take the crystal; this hatred is irreconcilable.

So he is actually my fated person.

If I hadn't met him, I would have foolishly given myself to my enemy.

Fortunately, I haven't acknowledged a master yet, otherwise it would be too late.

You pulled me back from the abyss. Young Master, how should I repay you?

"What?"

Li Qing looked confused.

"No, how long are you going to keep lifting my chin?" Li Qing looked at the peerless face so close to his, feeling speechless.

Facing a stunning young woman like me, there is not a trace of lust in his eyes.

Such an upright gentleman must be very fun. Decided, it's you.

"I want to lift it for a lifetime." The Black-clothed Young Woman pursed her lips and smiled, looking incredibly charming.

The next moment, a dazzling divine light erupted from the Black-clothed Young Woman's forehead, and a golden light instantly shot into Li Qing's forehead.

"Nine Nether Fox Clan, life and death contract, bind."

In just an instant, Li Qing felt a strange connection with the Black-clothed Young Woman. This connection was extremely mysterious, a bond of life and death, and he could actually dominate her life and death.

What was even more strange was that if she died, he would also die.

The Nine Nether Fox had actually concluded the highest-level contract of her clan with him.

She had only intended to conclude an equal contract with Gu Beichen before.

And the highest-level contract of the Nine Nether Fox Clan could not be refused by the target.

"You, you, you, you..." Li Qing was trembling all over; he was furious.

【Disaster.】

【Does this Nine Nether Jiner have some kind of serious illness? Why are you concluding a contract with This Young Master? Your fated person is Gu Beichen!】

【And you concluded the highest-level life and death contract? What did I do to you to deserve this harm?】

【It's over. From now on, it's like holding a bomb in my hand that could explode at any time.】

【I said I should stay away from the female protagonists; nothing good ever happens when I'm with them.】

【Now I'm done for. It's really like a dog-skin plaster; I don't even dare to try and shake it off.】

Thinking about the future, with a ticking time bomb by his side, Li Qing's world went dark.

"Jiner greets her Master." The Black-clothed Young Woman smiled sweetly and bowed.

Master doesn't seem happy.

It's okay. I don't know anything else, but I am best at serving people. As long as I serve Master well, he will definitely like me.

"No."

Li Qing let out a miserable howl.

Snowflakes drifting...
