Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 861 The Moon Devours the Star

Chapter 861 The Moon Devours the Star

Lady Hui and the Golden Court Immortal were having a private conversation in the temple. The Chun sisters, Huang and Zi, and Chu Yun Tongzi did not approach them, but waited in the garden corridor.

Chun Xueqing looked at Chu Yun Tongzi and questioned, "Chu Yun Tongzi, did you know all along that Gong Mingfu was a fourth-rank Daoist?"

Chu Yun Tongzi shook his head: "I have no idea. I was just ordered to bring the Golden Court Immortal here."

Chun Xueqing looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was hiding something, but she didn't quite believe that a mere novice like him really knew anything inside.

This dismissive attitude stirred a slight irritation in Chu Yun Tongzi's heart, forcing him to lower his eyes to conceal his emotions.

But he wasn't the only one feeling agitated; Chun Xueqing was also restless. She and her sister Chun Xiahong had been ordered to find Madam Hui and help her deal with Gong Mengbi. They had thought they were being given important positions by the clan, but they hadn't even learned the inside story, clearly indicating that the clan had never relied on them.

This disdain also displeased her—she was a direct descendant of the main family, while Madam Hui was only from a collateral branch, but now she had to take orders from Madam Hui, which made her somewhat embarrassed.

In comparison, Chunxia Hong was much calmer. Even within the main family, there were legitimate and illegitimate children, and varying degrees of status. As the younger half-sister, the lowest among her sisters, she had long since learned to be low-key and silent.

This is why Lady Hui gave her two sisters advice before they got married. The Purple Immortal Technique is easier to cultivate and more effective, allowing one to cultivate various mysterious and magnificent supernatural powers at a young age. The Nine-Tailed Technique, on the other hand, is much more difficult to cultivate, requiring arduous practice. If one is not extremely careful, it is difficult to unleash the wonders of the Nine-Tailed Technique.

As the eldest legitimate daughter, Chun Xueqing had to outdo Chun Xiahong no matter what, so she chose the Purple Immortal Technique without hesitation. Chun Xiahong, on the other hand, chose the Nine-Tailed Technique no matter how much she was persuaded.

Seeing her sister's indignant expression, Chunxia Hong sighed inwardly and asked, "What is the origin of the Golden Court Immortal?"

Chu Yun Tongzi hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, you two young ladies, you'll find out when you return to Tianhu Courtyard. Jin Ting Daxian is a demon king who wreaked havoc in the mortal realm. After being captured by Gong Mingfu, he was tortured in the Hidden Fox Cave, where he was forced to move mountains and refine stones to repair the imperial road every day. He and Gong Mingfu are mortal enemies, so we rescued him from the Hidden Fox Cave to have him deal with Gong Mingfu."

Chun Xueqing was taken aback: "So he was never Gong Mingfu's match in the first place?"

Chunxia Hong pulled her hand, shook her head at her, and gestured for her to be quiet.

Chun Xueqing looked towards the small pavilion in the garden, pursed her thin lips, and said, "What's the use of inviting him here?"

Chunxia Hong whispered, "Sister, one person is no match for them, but now three families are working together. Even if Gong Mingfu is only a fourth-rank official, can he force his way into the Lu Prince's mansion? The worst outcome is that he can only drag things out until the Demon Trial, and that's a victory in name only."

Chun Xueqing pursed her lips, not particularly impressed.

Chu Yun Tong Zi did not participate in this discussion. He had already suffered from Jin Ting Da Xian's mistake and was now trying to avoid it again.

"These two talkative girls." Little did they know that Lady Hui in the pavilion was apologizing to the two girls, "Great Immortal, please don't take offense. I will definitely punish them severely when I get back."

Jin Ting Da Xian laughed heartily: "It's not that I'm underestimating you, but do you think you can punish them?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Madam Hui's face.

Jin Ting Da Xian sneered and said, "It's only because of Madam's sake that I would teach these two outspoken girls a lesson."

Fearing that Chun Xueqing might utter some shocking words, Madam Hui gently touched her hand, and a wisp of purple smoke landed on Chun Xueqing.

Chun Xueqing was startled and was about to speak again when she suddenly realized that she had no mouth. She was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Chun Xia Hong immediately realized the cause and effect, and quickly dragged Chun Xue Qing away from there.

Only Chu Yun Tongzi felt pleased and smiled.

Not long after, Lady Hui also left the garden. Chu Yun Tong Zi hurriedly greeted Jin Ting Da Xian and asked, "Has Da Xian and Lady Hui reached an agreement?"

"Pack your things, and then you can come with me to the Prince of Lu's residence for some quiet cultivation."

Chu Yun Tongzi was taken aback: "Going straight into the Prince's mansion?"

Jin Ting Da Xian revealed a chilling smile: "If we don't prepare in advance, how can we leave Gong Mingfu with a lesson he will never forget?"

Chu Yun Tong Zi was so frightened that his tail almost fell out from under his clothes.

But what truly made Chu Yun Tongzi uneasy was not the Golden Court Immortal, but the Mingxia Temple where he stayed after arriving at the Lu Prince's Mansion.

When the Great Immortal Jinting entered the Prince Lu's mansion, he naturally could not cultivate in seclusion in the inner court of the mansion; he still had to stay at the Mingxia Temple.

Mingxia Temple was valued by Prince Lu and had a close relationship with Lady Hui, so they were allowed to stay as guests and not participate in the competition for the construction and sacrificial rites of the altar.

However, in Chu Yun Tong Zi's eyes, the two of them, one a little demon in human form and the other a ferocious demon king, lived in a proper Taoist temple, and were visited by Taoists who practiced the righteous way. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.

Observing his performance, Jin Ting Da Xian asked, "In your opinion, which is more righteous, the fox spirits of Tianhu Temple or the Taoists of Mingxia Temple?"

Chu Yun Tongzi was speechless.

The Heavenly Fox Academy is a legitimate immortal organization under the command of the Goddess of Mount Tai. If the fox spirits of the Heavenly Fox Academy are not considered righteous, then what is?

However, no matter how righteous the Heavenly Fox Academy is, it seems to be inferior to those who are properly practicing Taoism.

Although Chu Yun Tongzi was a servant boy of the Hu family, he was also a fox spirit who had successfully cultivated immortality in the Heavenly Fox Academy. He was still trembling with fear, afraid that he would be "subdued" at any time.

The Great Immortal Jinting looked at him with pity and said, "You are no different from domesticated poultry."

"The four great families have controlled the Heavenly Fox Academy for years. What does it matter how much they've fought for power and profit? Once they leave the Heavenly Fox Academy, they're still just despised fox demons. Whether you're a servant, a fox demon from the mountains, or even an immortal from the Heavenly Fox Academy, what difference does it make to outsiders? Aren't you all just foxes?"

"You are all foxes, and you are far inferior to me, the Demon King. I don't care about the righteous path or the evil path. As long as I am strong enough, you will all respect me, fear me, and be afraid of me."

The words of the Golden Immortal were like demonic chants in his brain, leaving him unable to resist or understand them, his mind a complete mess.

The Golden Court Immortal's words penetrated his brain, stirring his spirit and consciousness: "Look at yourself. Although you are dressed as a virgin, are you really a virgin? How many more years will you remain a virgin?"

Chu Yun Tongzi's face was blank, all expression had disappeared, only his eyes were wide open, silently shedding tears.

The Great Immortal Jinting shut his mouth, and Chuyun Boy, after much effort, finally broke free from the Great Immortal Jinting's demonic voice indoctrination.

When he looked at the Golden Court Immortal again, it seemed as if he saw not a person, but a gloomy black mountain.

His eyes were filled with fear as he asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"why?"

The dark mountain revealed a sinister smile: "You have talent and gifts, I'm going to give you a chance."

"I will teach you a supernatural power; you can begin your cultivation using the Demon God Banner. Do you want to learn?"

"What magical power?"

"The Moon Devouring Star Technique".
