Volume 2, Chapter 127 – Trust Me, I Won’t Touch You

Song Shiyuan also heard Qu Qingtang’s voice.

Why would Master come here? Was she looking for the Fox Monarch?

Qu Qingtang slowly stepped into the courtyard.

With a single glance, she immediately understood the current situation.

“Your Majesty.” Qu Qingtang smiled as she walked toward Hu Mei’er.

“I was only delayed for a moment. Why must you be so angry?”

“Please withdraw your pressure.”

“Frightening a junior like this isn’t good.”

Song Shiyuan felt her body lighten. That pressure like the collapse of heaven and earth receded like a tide.

“Mm… Master.” Song Shiyuan looked at Qu Qingtang walking over, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.

“It’s alright. I’ll handle this.” Qu Qingtang said to her.

Hu Mei’er recognized Qu Qingtang’s voice.

She felt her brain trembling.

Why was this woman also here?

And that “Your Majesty” was directed at Mei’er?

Hu Mei’er felt her legs go weak.

“Qu Qingtang…” Lu Zhuxin gripped Hu Mei’er’s clothing, her body muscles tensing.

“My apologies, Qingtang kept Your Majesty waiting.” Qu Qingtang looked at Hu Mei’er, her eyes brimming with laughter.

She knew that a certain little fox was curled up in Hu Mei’er’s embrace.

“Master…” Song Shiyuan pressed her lips together. She knew she shouldn’t speak casually at this moment.

But…

The little fox demon’s whereabouts were too important to her.

“Go back first, Shiyuan.” Qu Qingtang said.

“But…” Song Shiyuan’s eyes revealed a struggling expression. “Just now, I smelled… the little fox demon’s scent…”

“Do you think she’s still alive?” Qu Qingtang said.

Song Shiyuan bit her lip, unable to speak.

She didn’t know. She also thought it was impossible.

The little fox demon had died in her arms, and her body had also been destroyed by Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Sect Master Jiang Hongliang.

Yet she had truly smelled the little fox demon’s pheromone scent.

She wouldn’t be mistaken.

The source of the pheromone scent was right here.

Where the Fox Monarch stood.

“I don’t know…” Song Shiyuan’s face showed bitterness. “That’s why I wanted to seek an answer from the Fox Monarch.”

Qu Qingtang roughly understood the cause and effect.

“Shiyuan.” Qu Qingtang said, “I know your feelings for that fox demon run deep. But Sect Master Liu’s words weren’t wrong. You’re too immersed in the beautiful memories of being with that fox demon.”

“Master… I…” Song Shiyuan wanted to refute but found she had nothing to say.

Master’s assessment wasn’t wrong. She truly was too immersed in the past with the little fox demon.

But she simply couldn’t let go.

“If she were still alive, she wouldn’t want to see you like this, would she?” Qu Qingtang continued. “Do you still remember what that fox demon said to you before leaving?”

Song Shiyuan felt her chest tighten. She spoke with difficulty.

“I remember.”

And would never forget.

“She wouldn’t want to see you like this. If she could still see your current state, how disappointed she would be.” Qu Qingtang spoke earnestly. “I know you value relationships deeply, which is why I hope you can emerge from this yourself rather than sinking deeper into pain.”

“…Master.” Song Shiyuan’s face was bitter. “What should I do?”

“Go back and calm down first.” Qu Qingtang paused. “I’ll help you ask about what you want to know.”

“Right now, you’re completely controlled by your emotions.”

Song Shiyuan’s eyes revealed pain.

The Fox Monarch held such status. She truly had no obligation to answer Song Shiyuan’s questions.

If they were to inquire of the Fox Monarch, having Qu Qingtang, an Immortal Venerable, ask would indeed be more proper than Song Shiyuan asking herself.

Song Shiyuan bowed to Hu Mei’er.

“Fox Monarch, this junior was presumptuous earlier.”

“Withdraw. Don’t be an eyesore here.” Hu Mei’er relayed.

Song Shiyuan lowered her eyes and turned to leave with a dejected expression.

In the courtyard, only one person and two foxes remained.

“It seems I arrived just in time.” Qu Qingtang said.

Hu Mei’er could finally turn around. She looked at Qu Qingtang, her fox eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

“No need to look at me like that, red fox.” Qu Qingtang said. “I helped Zhuxin out of a predicament.”

Hearing this, the vigilance and hostility in Hu Mei’er’s eyes grew even stronger.

Sister Xian’er had said this sword cultivator harbored designs on Her Majesty and was very dangerous.

Mei’er… Mei’er must protect Her Majesty!!

But… Mei’er can’t defeat her.

Qu Qingtang turned her gaze to Lu Zhuxin curled up in Hu Mei’er’s embrace.

“Pheromones leaking, fox form manifesting.”

“This is a precursor to the heat period’s arrival.”

“Suppression is useless.”

“The more you suppress it, the fiercer the rebound.”

Lu Zhuxin’s breathing hitched slightly. At some point, a fluffy cherry-pink tail had appeared behind her back.

Her fluffy long ears twitched slightly, revealing their owner’s unrest.

Her hand kept gripping Hu Mei’er’s clothing without letting go.

“Qingtang, thank you for helping me out of that predicament.” Lu Zhuxin lifted her face from Hu Mei’er’s bosom.

Her pretty face still bore a flush that was difficult to dispel, her fox ears trembling lightly.

“The night has grown late. This isn’t the time for talking.”

“Qingtang should also return and rest early.”

After speaking, Lu Zhuxin gently patted Hu Mei’er’s back and whispered, “Take me away.”

Hu Mei’er froze slightly. She immediately reacted, preparing to pick up Lu Zhuxin and run.

However, how could a seven-tailed little fox demon possibly compare to a sword sect Venerable Saint?

Qu Qingtang blocked her path first.

“Red fox, where do you plan to take Zhuxin?” Qu Qingtang’s face bore a gentle smile.

Yet Hu Mei’er felt a penetrating chill.

Wuu… what should Mei’er do now?

“Give Zhuxin to me.” Qu Qingtang said. “She hasn’t reached the peak of burning passion yet. This is the best time to soothe it.”

“If we continue to delay and the heat period fully erupts, it won’t be so easy to suppress.”

“Red fox, as a fox demon, you should understand what I mean best.”

“Right now, in the Fox Palace, I’m the only one who can help her suppress the heat period’s lustful restlessness.”

Lu Zhuxin had no choice, unless she could withstand a nine-tailed fox demon’s heat period that lasted several years.

In this world without suppressants, how could an ordinary person use willpower to endure a fox demon’s heat period?

Hu Mei’er bit her teeth. Even though she was so frightened her tail was trembling, she was unwilling to let go.

Even if she died here, she couldn’t hand Her Majesty over to this bad woman.

Thinking this, her arms holding Lu Zhuxin tightened even more.

Rеαԁ οո КαtRеαdinɡCαfе

Qu Qingtang’s eyes darkened as she slowly approached Hu Mei’er.

“Mei’er… put me down first.” Lu Zhuxin gently patted Hu Mei’er’s back again.

“Your Majesty?” Hu Mei’er didn’t understand.

“Qingtang has treated me very well. She’s not a bad person.” Lu Zhuxin said.

Hu Mei’er’s doubts grew even stronger.

However, since Lu Zhuxin had already said this, Hu Mei’er could only follow orders and put Lu Zhuxin down.

“Zhuxin.” The gaze Qu Qingtang directed at Lu Zhuxin became even gentler.

Lu Zhuxin’s fox demon form was now fully manifested.

The already devastatingly beautiful woman, after manifesting her fluffy cherry-pink fox tail and ears, didn’t appear strange at all. Instead, she became even more charming and lovely.

Truly worthy of being the divine’s beloved creation. The fox demon lineage had indeed received too much favor from the Heavenly Dao in certain aspects.

“Qingtang, do you still remember what I said before?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

“I remember.” Qu Qingtang said. “I will respect your wishes. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”

Lu Zhuxin smiled brightly. “I trust you, Qingtang.”

She left Hu Mei’er’s embrace and walked toward Qu Qingtang.

However, after only two steps, her feet went soft and she nearly fell.

But she was caught in time by Qu Qingtang, who quickly stepped forward.

Qu Qingtang’s eyes held an unclear expression, making it difficult to discern what she was thinking.

“I’ll take you back to your sleeping quarters.” Qu Qingtang said.

“Mm.” Lu Zhuxin responded softly.

Qu Qingtang held her, formed a hand seal, and they vanished from the spot.

“Your Majesty…” Hu Mei’er watched their figures disappear, her eyes filled with grief and indignation.

“I must notify Sister Xian’er immediately!” Hu Mei’er stepped forward.

However, after just two steps, she was inexplicably moved back to her original position.

Hu Mei’er’s eyes revealed shock.

She had been controlled by someone’s spell and couldn’t leave.

Who could silently control a seven-tailed fox demon?

Only Qu Qingtang!

“That’s right! The formation disc! I must activate the formation immediately!”

Compared to letting those sect masters notice something abnormal, the situation Lu Zhuxin currently faced was even more dangerous. Hu Mei’er couldn’t worry about so much anymore.

The formation disc Lu Zhuxin had taken out earlier was still on Hu Mei’er.

Reαԁ оո КаtReαԁіnɡСаfе

Hu Mei’er took out the formation disc.

“How can this be!”

Hu Mei’er looked at the formation disc in her hand, her eyes revealing terror.

She saw that at the center of the formation disc, a straight sword mark had appeared at some unknown time.

“That bad woman, when did she…”

“Could it be that Her Majesty noticed?”

“So that’s why she…”

Hu Mei’er pressed her lips together, choking with emotion.

…

In Lu Zhuxin’s sleeping quarters, Qu Qingtang appeared with Lu Zhuxin.

She held Lu Zhuxin and placed her on the large bed that could accommodate several people.

“Is it very uncomfortable, Zhuxin?” Qu Qingtang gently rubbed Lu Zhuxin’s fluffy fox ears. “With your heat period approaching and forcibly using your cultivation, it will accelerate the heat period’s arrival.”

“Don’t…” Lu Zhuxin’s pretty face flushed red as she reached out to grab Qu Qingtang’s wrist.

Fox ears were very sensitive. During the heat period, these strange sensations would be inexplicably amplified.

When Qu Qingtang gently rubbed her fox ears, the warmth and touch from her palm made Lu Zhuxin feel even more unbearable.

The wicked fire that had been forcibly suppressed within her body seemed to be stirred and reignited by Qu Qingtang once more.

“Alright, I won’t touch there.” Qu Qingtang said softly.

She smiled with curved brows, stopping the motion of her hands.

“A fox demon’s lustful restlessness is very difficult to endure, isn’t it?” Qu Qingtang asked. “Let me help you, Zhuxin.”

Her voice was light and gentle, like an angel, without any desire.

The emotions contained in her words were merely concern and care.

“Qu Qingtang…” Lu Zhuxin’s teeth lightly bit her lip.

“If you’re unwilling, I won’t touch you.” Qu Qingtang lowered her eyes. “I only want to help you.”

Lu Zhuxin gently pressed her chest.

Her small bosom rose and fell rapidly.

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

“Qingtang, if you wanted to force yourself on me now…”

“I would have no way to resist…”

Her eyes reddened slightly, filled with grievance and helplessness.
