Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Ruanruan, The Nine-tailed Fox Unaware of Her Bloodline Awakening

Qin Ruan didn’t catch the deeper meaning in her words, the smile at the corner of her lips deepened, she asked, "Then why is there demonic energy on you?"

Before today, she hadn’t detected any demonic energy on Song Qing.

When she saw Song Qing taking action before, she had even wondered if he had been possessed.

Song Qing blinked her large eyes, as if it was the most natural thing, and said, "I have always been a Flower Demon!"

She answered any question Qin Ruan put to her.

Qin Ruan’s dark eyes scrutinized her, her expression as calm as still water, "Since you are a demon, report yourself once you return to the country. Whether you stay or leave must be approved by the Huo Family’s authorities."

Song Qing didn’t take the news well. Was this implying she should leave?

She immediately made her position clear, "Madam, I don’t want to leave; I want to stay with you!"

Without following her master, how could she report back to the Divine Monarch?

Qin Ruan didn’t respond, her mind clear on what was more or less important. Song Qing’s identity involved everyone in the Huo Family, even the Secret Guard Department required strict scrutiny throughout.

A person couldn’t become a demon without reason; the situation could be major or minor.

Qin Ruan held Elder Leisha’s soul in her hand, tossing it before Song Qing’s eyes, and asked her, "What are you going to do with it?"

Song Qing licked her lips, her eyes glistening with zest, "This is some fine feed; naturally, I will devour him!"

"Ugh!"

Wu Fan, upon hearing her say that, conjured an indescribable image in his head and could not help but retch aloud.

Even Qin Ruan subconsciously furrowed her brow.

Realizing the misunderstanding, Song Qing quickly waved her hand, "I regard him as my feed in my consciousness, not me eating, but my true body..."

She found herself struggling to explain clearly as she spoke.

To avoid further misinterpretation, she lifted her arm that had transformed into tendrils, and the vines writhing in the air bound Elder Leisha’s wandering soul, tossing it into a blooming bright red flower.

The sharp, blade-like petals devoured it, and the already bewitching bright red flower seemed to have grown larger after consuming Elder Leisha’s wandering soul.

Elder Leisha’s wandering soul was completely devoured by the bright red flower.

Song Qing shook her tendrils and the dazzling flowers, and in the blink of an eye, they reverted back to slender arms.

"Burp!"

The next second, as if she was sated, she let out a burp.

Qin Ruan’s lips twitched, her face struggling to look on.

Song Qing smiled sheepishly, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Not wanting to address family affairs in front of outsiders, Qin Ruan gestured to the nearby Three-tailed Fox.

The latter stood up from the ground and was about to step forward when Qin Ruan told her, "Bring that beast under your feet over as well."

The Three-tailed Fox looked down at Ayong, who had fainted, bent over to pick him up, and walked quickly toward Qin Ruan.

She stood before Qin Ruan, dropped Ayong from her hands, and knelt on the ground, "Master!"

With Qin Ruan accepting her kneel, she said in a cold voice, "All over Pakalin Mountain are wandering souls and stray puppets; they’ve encountered too many hardships in their lives, and their resentment won’t dissipate in a short while, nor can they be reborn.

If you want to atone, then stay here to watch over them. Until their final resentment fades and their souls return to where they belong, you must guard them to prevent other evil spirits from devouring them."

"I can!"

The three-tailed fox nodded without hesitation.

Qin Ruan’s red lips curved in a reserved arc, her eyelids slightly drooped, her face showing a suspicious look, she said indifferently, "It will take them decades to leave; have you thought this through?"

The three-tailed fox nodded incessantly, "I have thought it through. As long as Master spares my life, let alone decades, I would be willing even for a hundred years."

The corners of Qin Ruan’s lips turned up, and the look in her eyes softened considerably, "Since that is the case, you must keep your promise. If you break your word today, what awaits you will be more than just death."

The three-tailed fox raised her hand, her expression serious and solemn, "I swear I will keep my word; otherwise, may I be struck by lightning and my cultivation cease to advance forever, Master, trust me!"

Qin Ruan kicked Ayong’s body, a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

Her voice was clear and cold, "This person’s cultivation has been wasted. Sending him to join the other disciples of the Yin Yang Sect seems too easy on him. Do you have any good ideas on how to keep him alive and yet make him suffer for life?"

The three-tailed fox glared at Ayong with a face full of hatred, gritting her teeth, "Leave this matter to me. He once took advantage of being a disciple of Cien, forced me into dual cultivation with him, and stole my cultivation. Master, rest assured, I will ’treat’ him very ’well’!"

A barely there curve touched the corner of Qin Ruan’s mouth, and those fox-like eyes shimmered with compassion, "You and he have karma between you. Once it is resolved, your cultivation will take a great stride, and the appearance of the fourth tail is not far off."

At these words, the three-tailed fox’s seductively charming face flushed with excitement, bowing three times to Qin Ruan.

She also kept giving thanks, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Qin Ruan lifted her hand, "You needn’t do this. I spared your life today simply because I found you rather endearing."

The three-tailed fox’s eyes lit up, her voice filled with excitement, "Master, to be honest, I always felt that you were one of our kind, perhaps even a higher breed. Seeing you, my blood boils uncontrollably, and I can’t help but want to worship you!"

Qin Ruan laughed, thinking the three-tailed fox was just flattering her to win her favor.

However, Song Qing, who was beside her, rolled her dark pupils, leaned close to Qin Ruan, and gently sniffed at the tip of her nose.

She didn’t feel anything amiss about Madam either. How did this three-tailed fox find out? Could it be that there was a scent that she, as a flower demon, could not sense that was evident to the Fox Clan?

Qin Ruan turned to Wu Fan and Yanxuan, and spoke, "The Yin Yang Sect has perished, and I will no longer pursue the other disciples. Are you going to leave with me or stay here?"

Wu Fan, pulling Yanxuan, stepped forward toward Qin Ruan, "The witch power in Yanxuan is getting out of control. Can Madam take a look at his condition first?"

Qin Ruan’s gaze scrutinized Yanxuan, noticing a volatile aura swirling around him.

She frowned, "Born with a skeletal structure ideal for cultivation, but sadly over-cultivated, resulting in an inability to control his own immense power, he can only break through to the next realm on his own."

Wu Fan licked his lips, "His cultivation has halted, and continuing to practice will certainly lead to his body exploding and death."

Qin Ruan pondered, "The excess power can be diverted and managed. In the future, you must balance work and rest in cultivation, and not be impatient for quick results."

Wu Fan inquired further, "Does Madam have a method?"

Qin Ruan, "There is a method, but it will require your junior brother’s cultivation to drop."

Yanxuan scowled, "I disagree!"

Wu Fan, "Agreed!"

The master and disciple voiced their differing opinions in unison.

Seeing their disagreement, Qin Ruan spoke in a mild tone, "Discuss it amongst yourselves and decide later. It’s getting late, and I must return to the country as soon as possible."

The Third Lord was returning, and she did not want to give him another reason to torment her.

Wu Fan glared at Yanxuan, then said to Qin Ruan, "We’ll return to the country with you. The Longevity Sect will send other disciples to take care of things here later."

"Then let’s go."

Qin Ruan took the lead and walked away.
