Volume 1, Chapter 53 – Confidential Message

“Hehehe… hehehehe…”

Lu Zhuxin walked along the path, both hands cupping her pretty little face.

The corners of her upturned mouth were harder to suppress than an AK rifle.

“Hehehehehe…”

“Little Shiyuan kissed me!”

“Little Shiyuan kissed me!!”

“The feeling of being held and kissed by a beautiful girl feels so good!!”

Lu Zhuxin twisted and turned on the street like a young snake awakening to love for the first time.

“This is my first time in two lifetimes!”

[Little virgin, truly unbearable to watch.]

“What do I do… System! She’s so proactive, she’s so sweet and knows how to kiss so well, I really like her!”

“I’m starting to feel reluctant to bully her.”

[Host, as long as it’s a beautiful woman who’s proactive with you, you’ll like them, right?]

[Just like back then…]

“What ‘back then’?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

[Back when Ming Zhaoxi proactively stabbed you seventy-two times, weren’t you quite fond of her too?]

“Heh…” Lu Zhuxin snorted irritably.

[Host, friendly reminder: the karmic connection between Song Shiyuan and Song Shixuan still hasn’t been severed.]

The System poured a basin of cold water directly over Lu Zhuxin’s head.

“Heh…” Lu Zhuxin snorted coldly. “I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.”

Song Shiyuan had already expressed her feelings to the little fox demon.

She had even wanted to have deeper intimate contact with the little fox demon.

Having reached this point, Song Shiyuan’s tiny bit of youthful romantic longing for her elder brother was long since negligible.

“So… the problem should lie with Song Shixuan.”

Lu Zhuxin thought of that turtle son under her pen.

The System said the karmic connection between Song Shiyuan and him hadn’t been severed, but little Shiyuan had already recognized her own feelings, so she couldn’t possibly still harbor romantic feelings for that big pig trotter.

If it wasn’t romantic love, then it was sibling affection.

“System, are you saying you want me to make it so they can’t even be siblings?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

[The System merely detected that the karmic connection between both parties hasn’t ended. This karmic connection is directly defined by the Heavenly Dao of this small world. As for the reason, please explore it yourself, Host.]

“Fine.” Lu Zhuxin wasn’t surprised. “Then it seems little Shiyuan doesn’t love me deeply enough yet.”

“How should the next script proceed… lost and regained, gained and lost again.”

Lu Zhuxin repeatedly muttered, “Gained and lost again… how should I make her lose it?”

[Host, when you had Song Shiyuan prove herself earlier, why didn’t you have her release her pure yang breath?]

The eternal mark could identify the marker’s pure yang energy. If Song Shiyuan could truly prove herself, using this method would actually be the simplest and most effective approach.

It was also a method any normal person could think of.

“Why would I do such a meaningless thing?” Lu Zhuxin said. “Song Shiyuan would never agree to use this method anyway. She’ll just continue guiding the conversation to maintain the charade, so it’s better not to bring it up.”

[But isn’t this such an obvious method? Won’t Song Shiyuan become suspicious of you for not using it?]

The System raised its question.

“She won’t,” Lu Zhuxin smiled. “Having reached this point, little Shiyuan couldn’t possibly suspect the little fox demon.”

“As for these things that look like suspicious points,”

“Those are all the little fox demon’s love and trust in her!”

[Can you really forcibly muddle through using this method?]

“Isn’t little Shiyuan doing the same thing?”

Both sides were lying, and both were well aware of it.

Lu Zhuxin could guess Song Shiyuan’s current thoughts.

Song Shiyuan would never release her pure yang breath in front of the little fox demon. She wanted to be a pair of mortal wives with the little fox demon.

Since she thought this way, why wouldn’t Lu Zhuxin take this opportunity to cooperate with her a bit?

Just as Lu Zhuxin finished arguing with the System, she saw Hu Xian’er’s figure.

However, for some unknown reason, this fox demon who was usually so elegant and proud didn’t look very well at the moment.

“Xian’er,” Lu Zhuxin called her over. “What’s wrong? Your expression doesn’t look very good right now.”

“Your Majesty,” Hu Xian’er’s eyes dodged for a moment.

She had originally wanted to find Lu Zhuxin to report the secret intelligence she had just received, but she never expected to stumble upon such a scene.

After snapping out of her daze, Hu Xian’er forcibly threw that image from her mind before continuing, “Secret intelligence just received.”

“Lingxiao Sword Sect has dispatched a team of elite disciples, suspected to have infiltrated our clan’s territory.”

Lu Zhuxin was surprised. “They’re coming for Song Shiyuan and Song Shixuan, right?”

“Their much faster than I imagined.”

Hu Xian’er answered, “After all, following Your Majesty’s instructions earlier, we deliberately left some traces for Lingxiao Sword Sect. With the sect’s publicly recognized next successor captured, even at its worst, Lingxiao Sword Sect should have some reaction.”

Lu Zhuxin thought for a moment. “Then, aside from that team of elite disciples, are there movements from any other powerful individuals?”

Hu Xian’er said, “Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Sect Master Jiang Hongliang lost his trail half a month ago. The other powerful individuals of Lingxiao Sword Sect are still at the sect with no unusual movements.”

Lu Zhuxin’s brow furrowed slightly. “What about Qu Qingtang? Her two disciples were captured, and she has no reaction at all?”

Hu Xian’er continued, “We’ve already investigated Qu Qingtang’s whereabouts as per Your Majesty’s instructions.”

“We can confirm that since entering closed-door cultivation half a year ago, Qu Qingtang has not emerged.”

“The teaching of both disciples has also been handled by substitute instructors.”

“She may still not know that her two disciples have been captured.”

Hu Xian’er wasn’t entirely confident about this intelligence either. However, these pieces of information were obtained by fox clan scouts after considerable effort. Whether they were true or false could only be judged by the Fox Monarch herself.

Lu Zhuxin raised her hand to rub the space between her brows.

She felt something wasn’t quite right.

But she couldn’t figure out exactly what the problem was.

Was the problem with Qu Qingtang?

According to the original text Lu Zhuxin had written, Qu Qingtang was indeed like this, frequently in closed-door cultivation.

In the original text, her formal appearances were very few. Even until the original book was terminated midway due to an internet-wide crackdown, Lu Zhuxin had never written about her achieving a happy ending with the male protagonist.

Lu Zhuxin didn’t want to face off against this power ceiling female lead too early, and this was part of the reason.

In short, she was a female lead character who was very powerful in the setting but very peripheral in the plot.

Because there was so little description of her, Lu Zhuxin’s understanding of her was also limited.

“Forget it. Her lack of movement is also a good thing. As long as she doesn’t come looking for trouble with me, that’s fine.” Lu Zhuxin waved her hand.

“Your Majesty, regarding those infiltrating Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples, do we need to prepare countermeasures in advance?” Hu Xian’er asked.

“No need to worry about them for now. I have other arrangements later.”

Lu Zhuxin grinned. “Speaking of which, that man has been locked in the Fox Palace for some time now. Let’s go take a look at how he’s been doing lately.”

The good daughter was already dealt with. Next, it was time to deal with that bastard son.
