Volume 1, Chapter 69 – Thanks for the Information, Little Shiyuan

That’s it! That’s the one!

Song Shiyuan, how could you have forgotten?!

You were originally planning to take her away!

The little fox demon’s path to survival, there wasn’t just this one option.

The little fox demon herself, having grown up within the Fox Palace, had her vision limited by this small Fox Palace, which is why she hadn’t thought of this.

But Song Shiyuan, you’re different. You don’t belong here. You’re an outsider.

Your thinking could clearly be more open than the little fox demon’s.

You should have thought of this more easily than she did!

Why did you only just remember now?

Jealousy and suspicion clouded your thinking.

“Ming Zhaoxi! Let’s leave this place together.”

“Go to the human cultivators’ lands!”

“Go to Lingxiao Sword Sect or maybe somewhere else, anywhere is fine!”

Song Shiyuan looked at the little fox demon before her with burning eyes.

“As long as you don’t continue staying in the Fox Palace, you’ll be safe. I’ll protect you. No one will be able to harm you!”

The little fox demon seemed to freeze. She moved her lips slightly, murmuring wordlessly.

“Elope with you? Leave here?”

“Yes!” Song Shiyuan nodded. “Rather than placing your hopes on a man you don’t like, you might as well come with me!”

Water began gathering in the little fox demon’s beautiful fox eyes. “Is that really possible?”

Song Shiyuan said seriously, “This is the best method I could think of.”

“As long as we can leave here, the sky is high and the sea is vast, we can go anywhere. We can find a place where no one can find us and live in seclusion!”

“Once we reach a safe place, you can give birth to that… to our child, and I can support you and your daughter for a lifetime.”

Fox demons could bear spirit fetuses with female sword cultivators, but because both parents were female, the children born would only be girls.

The little fox demon stared blankly, unable to speak, as if shocked by the vision Song Shiyuan was painting.

“Is what you’re saying all true?” the little fox demon murmured. “Is this really the life we can have?”

“As long as we can leave here, yes!” Song Shiyuan said. “I promise.”

The little fox demon raised her hands to cover her face. Her entire body trembled lightly.

Song Shiyuan thought she was crying tears of joy.

She didn’t know that at this moment, Lu Zhuxin was roaring at the System.

“System! Little System! Did you hear that? Little Shiyuan wants to elope with me!”

“She’s painting me a beautiful picture!”

“She even said she’d help raise the child!”

[Read.]

[So?]

“She’s so serious! So cute!”

The little fox demon covered her face, too excited to speak.

“Shiyuan, I’m very happy you said that.”

“But Her Majesty won’t allow fox demons from the Fox Palace to leave on their own.”

“If Her Majesty discovers this, what will we do?”

“Moreover, the Fox Palace is full of restrictions… If it weren’t for the Flower Festival today, we wouldn’t have been able to leave so smoothly.”

Song Shiyuan pondered for a moment.

She was hesitating about whether she could tell the little fox demon some of the classified information she knew.

She trusted the little fox demon, but that didn’t mean she could trust the little fox demon on behalf of her martial brothers from Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Song Shiyuan thought about it and decided she could selectively say some things.

“Axi, you know I went to see my fellow disciples today,” Song Shiyuan said. “Then you should also be able to guess that they came to rescue us.”

The little fox demon asked, “Are you certain they can rescue us?”

“They can! Trust me,” Song Shiyuan said. “I have some knowledge of formations. During those days when you noticed me using spirit ink, I was recording the formations within the Fox Palace. Now, I’ve already mapped out a relatively easy evacuation route.”

“Shiyuan… so that’s what you were doing then,” the little fox demon said hoarsely.

A sword cultivator who only had some knowledge of formations could map out an escape route in the Fox Palace full of restrictions just by observation?

Little Shiyuan, do you even hear what nonsense you’re spouting?

Lu Zhuxin naturally also knew that the Fox Palace formations had flaws.

In the original text, after the male protagonist harmed the Fox Monarch and fled the Fox Palace, he had utilized these formation flaws.

The heaven-fated protagonist’s opportunities were just that unreasonable.

But as for little Shiyuan, Lu Zhuxin was very clear that she really only understood formations a little. By herself, it would be impossible for her to map out a reasonable escape route based solely on visual observation.

So that so-called escape route should have been given to her by someone!

From this, Lu Zhuxin could deduce that among the Lingxiao Sword Sect disciples who came to Mingzhao City this time, there was at least one formation grandmaster.

And among Lingxiao Sword Sect’s younger generation, there was probably only Lu Guan, the chief disciple of Sect Master Jiang Hongliang, who was a formation grandmaster.

So that sword cultivator dressed like a down-and-out scholar she saw today was actually Lu Guan?

Since Lu Guan came, then the missing Sect Master Jiang Hongliang most likely also came to Mingzhao City.

Heh heh, a sect master risking his life and venturing into enemy territory.

Wasn’t Lingxiao Sword Sect afraid their sect master would fall here?

The heaven-fated male protagonist Song Shixuan really had great influence.

Lu Zhuxin could confirm that in the original text she wrote, Song Shixuan shouldn’t have had this much influence at this time.

So was this also a chain reaction after Lu Zhuxin, this butterfly, changed the plot direction?

Tsk tsk… should she leak this information to others?

A generation’s sword sect master. In the demon realm, he had quite a few enemies.

“However, the most dangerous thing within the Fox Palace isn’t the formations… but the World-Ending Fox Monarch herself.”

Lu Zhuxin planned to give this little girl some warnings, lest she get cocky again.

Right in front of her, the Fox Palace’s master, not only abducting her Fox Palace’s people, but also saying the Fox Palace’s formations were poor.

The little fox demon seemed to think of something, and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes. “An Eighth Realm great demon, when angered, is extremely terrifying.”

“Last time I even saw her stab someone seventy-two times in a row!”

[Yes, the System can testify to this.]

Are you okay? Why are you interjecting at a time like this?

Lu Zhuxin silently complained about this dog System.

“Axi, don’t worry about that,” Song Shiyuan shook her head again. “That Fox Monarch, she probably won’t make a move.”

The little fox demon blinked. “Why?”

Little Shiyuan, what did you just say? Say it again to my face?

“Trust me!” Song Shiyuan’s face was sincere.

The little fox demon didn’t speak, only looked at Song Shiyuan with an extremely subtle expression.

Song Shiyuan deflated a bit. She could see that the little fox demon’s face was filled with distrust.

She also knew this was hard to make convincing. But there was no other way.

“Axi… I can’t explain many things to you too clearly,” Song Shiyuan said. “But please, trust me.”

The little fox demon looked at her for a long while before finally sighing quietly. “I’m sorry…”

“Axi…” Song Shiyuan was stunned. She pressed her lips together.

As expected, just saying these things wasn’t enough to convince her?

But these matters involved too much. Song Shiyuan really couldn’t say more.

She could only say, those who understand, understand.

The little fox demon’s eyes reddened slightly. “This matter is too important.”

“Can you give me a little time to think about it?”

“After all, I’ve lived here ever since I can remember.”

“Steward Xian’er has also treated me very well.”

Song Shiyuan’s heart dimmed, but she understood the little fox demon.

If someone suddenly said this to Song Shiyuan herself, she couldn’t possibly agree right away either.

Even if the other person was her lover.

So Song Shiyuan wasn’t discouraged. She was willing to give the little fox demon time to consider.

Give her a bit of time to accept.

“Then I’ll come find you again tomorrow,” Song Shiyuan said.
