The veil fell, and the women gasped once more. The unique appearance of Ye Nu indeed proved to be powerfully shocking.
“It’s alright. Looks are given by our parents. As long as it’s not ugly here, it’s fine! No more wearing it from now on!”
The rascal king spoke these kind words boastfully, pointing to the heart area while grabbing Ye Nu’s wrist again, giving the girl the courage to face things head-on.
“Ye Nu, lift up your head and stand straight!”
Encouraged by Qiao San’s rough manner, Ye Nu finally raised her head little by little. As she slowly looked around, she suddenly realized that the sky was still there, and the earth remained. Her supposedly hideous face wasn’t even close to destroying heaven and earth.
As the saying goes, one thought leads to heaven, and another to hell. When Ye Nu’s mindset shifted, her hideous face began to radiate a strange luster. Although it was still just as ugly, in the eyes of others, it became a familiar, natural ugliness—one that made everyone feel warm and no longer cold.
Qiao San had actually performed a noble and radiant deed. Watching this, the fox queen felt no joy whatsoever. The sly fox’s heart sank with ulterior motives. She mused to herself darkly: This is definitely an ill omen. It seems it’s time to take things one step further!
The earth horse spread its wings, stirring up strong winds. Finally, at dusk, the group arrived at a town and checked into a local inn.
The “noble” rascal remained calm and composed under the strange gazes of the fox girls. However, the moment he entered the inn room, his figure abruptly stilled. His soul left his body, spun midair, and urgently dove straight into his spiritual sea from above.
Within a beautiful, illusory world, Qiao San appeared before an elegant bamboo pavilion. With a mere thought, the bamboo door of the pavilion opened slowly, and Qiao San immediately caught sight of an elegant, graceful figure leaning by the window.
“Shuling, please let me go, waaah… I’m a scoundrel, I don’t want to be a good person!”
“Qiao Sheng, good deeds bring good results, and evil deeds bring evil results. You’ve done too many bad things lately—it’s time to make amends!”
Shuling put down the sacred scriptures she was holding and earnestly advised the rascal. Their relationship silently shifted again. The way Shuling called him “Qiao Sheng” now sounded so natural, and the scolded rascal found it oddly pleasant to hear.
After a loud and sorrowful lament that proved ineffective, Qiao San resentfully said, “I’m the master, you’re the servant. Don’t influence my thoughts anymore.”
“Ahhh…” Shuling’s beautiful eyes, visible through her veil, sparkled with a helpless smile. Like dealing with a sulking child, she wasn’t angry at all. With a smile, she asked, “Isn’t being good nice? I saw you looked quite happy!”
“No, not at all! The kind-hearted get bullied, and gentle horses get ridden. I won’t be a fool.”
“Nonsense!” Shuling stopped arguing with the rascal. She lifted her left hand, conjuring up a piece of clothing, then opened her right hand, producing a needle and thread. With skillful fingers, the mature beauty manipulated the needle and thread, her eyes and brows quietly exuding a gentle and refined radiance. Without lifting her head or stopping her hands, she softly asked, “Is this piece of clothing beautiful? I specially made it for you.”
Qiao San, sulking at first, had no intention of being “bribed,” but the dazzling garment was indeed eye-catching. His curious mind quickly shifted, and he asked, “What kind of clothing is this? It looks weird!”
Shuling’s nimble fingers paused, and the needle and thread silently vanished. “It’s a magical robe embroidered with two sacred scriptures. Unfortunately, it’s missing the ‘Celestial Law.’ Otherwise, if you wore it, it would perfectly resonate with the ‘Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Sutra’!”
“Eh!” Qiao San felt a rush of warmth in his throat, all his resentment instantly dissipating. Gazing at Shuling’s beautiful figure, the rascal’s eyes filled with boundless fascination—not lust, but something deeper and more intense.
With a wave of her hand, the unfinished robe disappeared. Shuling spoke earnestly again, “Qiao Sheng, good deeds bring good results. What’s so bad about being a good person?”
“But…” Qiao San had almost agreed when he thought of Ye Nu’s uniqueness. The rascal’s innate nature flared up again, and he mumbled sheepishly, “Can’t you pick something easier? Why force me to tackle something so difficult? How will I face people afterward?!”
Shuling sighed softly, clearly frustrated like a master facing an unteachable apprentice. Then, unexpectedly, she said, “Today’s events—I didn’t influence you at all. You merely thought you were being influenced by me!”
“What? You really didn’t cast any spell? That’s impossible, right?” Qiao San’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor as he disbelievingly pointed at himself.
“Did I?!”
“Didn’t you?!”
“Did I?!”
“No way?! Waaah…”
…
The red moon of the Earth Realm radiated a shy crimson glow. Tonight, the inn was shrouded in a romantic and ambiguous atmosphere.
The ghost maiden voluntarily entered her lover’s room but pushed away his lustful hands trying to undress her. With a teasing tone, the seductive ghost said, “Husband, aren’t you going to force yourself on me? Hehe… I just witnessed a wonderful show. Would you like to watch it too?”
The wildness of the ghost girl made Qiao San both love and hate. It was clearly the ghost girl’s brilliant idea, yet somehow it had become him planning to rape the fox queen. Sigh…
Though sighing inwardly, Qiao San’s desires remained unaffected. His mischievous laughter still echoed in the room when he already carried the ghost maiden through the wall.
“Hehe… What wonderful show? Let’s go see!”
With a flash of black shadow, Qiao San and the ghost maiden arrived at the window of the backyard bathhouse. Before their ears even touched the window paper, waves of deep, sensual moans had already entered their hearts.
The ghost’s ethereal body in the man’s arms warmed, and she turned around with a mysterious smile, “Husband, watch. It’s really good!”
A small hole was freshly visible on the window paper—obviously left by the ghost maiden earlier. Now, the man quickly pressed his eye to the hole.
“Shhh—”
A pitch-black pupil filled the entire space. At the very first glance inside, the pupil suddenly expanded, nearly bursting. Intense light shot from the center of the eye, directly aiming at the hazy bath filled with mist.
“Ahhh… My dear daughter, push a little harder!” The fox queen—naked and bare—was softly lying on the luxurious couch beside the bath. Fox First Daughter and Fox Second Daughter were giving their mother a massage to relieve the fatigue from the journey.
