Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 103 A Premeditated Alliance of the Three Parties

“Grandmaster.”

Nascent Soul tried to put some pressure on the wound for Chidi, but Chidi stopped him. Xiao Qi did know something about medicine. He purposefully claimed that the flesh of Chidi’s heart was needed to cure Madam Xuan, so as to test Chidi’s feelings for Madam Xuan. Now, he was quite pleased with the result. Woman was indeed a good pawn. Yu Xuanji watched the man in silence as he intently healed her wound with gentle fingers. She felt her skin burn painfully, and her little face was tinged with crimson. Afraid that the man might notice her abnormality, Yu Xuanji lowered her head quietly.

“The inauguration of the new Master of Kunlun will take place on the 6th day of next lunar month. You can’t go back on what you’ve promised me, Your Majesty.”

“Cousin Linghe is finally becoming the God of the Kunlun,” Xiao Qi thought, getting more and more flustered. “It’s getting harder and harder for me to overtake Xu Linghe and I get further and further away from Xiaoyao.” When Yu Xuanji caught the man’s lost expression, her hot skin turned cold. He never forgot the fox of the Teal Hill. She knew the truth as early as she was in the Ninth-level Heaven, because the man was openly against Emperor Jun for that fox.

“Madam will recover in a few days’ rest.”

Yu Xuanji gathered her thoughts. She could not behave presumptuously in Chidi’s presence. Even though she admired the King of the Fairy Kingdom, she could only keep her love for him in her heart. “The blood I have shed today must not go to waste. You want me dead, but it won’t be that easy,” thought Yu Xuanji, casting her eyes around the hall with an icy look. Xiao Ba’s heart leaped into her mouth at once, and she cowered in the corner, losing her arrogance. Yu Xuanji snorted coldly. “How dare you turn on me when you’re so timid!”

“Okay, I’ll go there to show up on the 6th day.”

Chidi then picked up Madam Xuan and left in public. Zhou Yi tried to chase them out, but Di Qing pulled him back. “You silly man, Chidi has made it clear that he will go there to show up. What are you after him for? Are you trying to get yourself killed” Di Qing cursed in his heart. Of course Di Qing, who was weak in power, wanted to court more people. It was already a mistake to offend Xiao Qi today, so he couldn’t make any more enemies. Zhou Yi was worried that it would be too late when the inauguration would be held on the 6th day of next lunar month. If Xu Linghe’s name was written on the Deification Pillar, there was nothing they could do. After all, it was impossible to change the god’s will. But Chidi wasn’t in the mood to care about this matter and even the Heavenly Book could not intrigue him. Zhou Yi walked back and forth, and Di Qing had an idea. “Since Zhou Yi is so concerned about the inauguration, why not ask him to go back to Kunlun to steal the Heavenly Book.” Di Qing didn’t know anything about the Heavenly Book, but his curiosity was aroused as everybody in the three realms wanted it. He planned to ask Zhou Yi to find out about the Heavenly Book before they decided.

Di Qing called Zhou Yi to a quiet place and told him what he planned. Zhou Yi agreed because he thought it would work. Chidi of the Mount Da Huang didn’t like him, and now Di Qing was his only lifeline. After all, Di Qing was the king of the human world, who had some power anyway. Afterwards, he said goodbye to Di Qing and flew to Kunlun. Nascent Soul was watching Di Qing from the corner. They were whispering, but Nascent Soul could still hear them clearly. “Di Qing is plotting to get the Heavenly Book. I really didn’t expect the Human Sovereign to be a man full of wild ambitions. I have to tell Chidi about it,” Nascent Soul thought, and then slipped away.

“Excuse me, is Grandmaster in?”

Nascent Soul stood cautiously outside Chidi’s room and listened to what was happening inside. When the door creaked open, Nascent Soul looked down, not daring to look at Chidi. The new Madam was hurt because of him, and he was afraid of Grandmaster chastising him.

“I have something to report.”

“What is it?”

“I found out that Di Qing secretly conspired with Zhou Yi to seize the Heavenly Book.”

“Human Sovereign is really ambitious, but he doesn’t have the strength to do it.”

“Grandmaster, you’d better punish Human Sovereign severely, or it will be too late for everyone to follow his example.”

“You take plenty of men and keep an eye on him.”

“Yes. I’m going to get ready to do it now.”

Given orders, Nascent Soul left. In the room, Yu Xuanji was actually awake all the time, but when Chidi came in, she immediately closed her eyes while still wondering, “Kunlun will hold the inauguration on the 6th day. Will Chidi go to Kunlun to snatch the Heavenly Book? If he goes to there, will he take me with him?” Chidi tucked her in, thinking she was fast asleep. He had to go somewhere. With the three parties already aligned, he could not afford to be blamed by that person for acting alone. So Chidi left the house and took off toward the sky.

“Who is making noise here?” Asked an official at the palace gate.

When Chidi stated his name, the steward hurried to report it. Waiting quietly at the door, Chidi looked at the magnificent buildings with admiration.

“His Majesty asks Devil God of Mount Da Huang to come in.”

The loud voice filled the night sky. Chidi followed the officer and flew towards the temple, lowering his cloud and heading straight for the main hall.

“Chidi of Mount Da Huang pays respects to Your Majesty.”

“To forego formalities.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Devil God, what have you hurried here for?”

“The scout reported that the inauguration of the new Master of Kunlun will be held on the 6th day of next lunar month.”

“We don’t need to care about the inauguration of Kunlun for the time being, but we can’t let go of the woman who holds the Heavenly Book. Jiang Wuyou destroyed my temple.”

“She’s also Chidi’s mortal enemy.”

“Feng Xi, do you have any good idea for the woman to hand over the Heavenly Book?”

At this point, Chidi just saw clearly the man in the corner. He was Emperor Jun’s grandson. Chidi looked at him carefully, finding the man dressed in white with an air of indifference.

“Take away her child,” Feng Xi suggested.

“It’s not easy to capture her child with the heavy security on Kunlun.”

Emperor Jun frowned. Jiang Wuyou’s supernatural power was second to none and she had even defeated Emperor Jun. Only someone familiar with her could have taken the woman off guard and taken her child away. In this way, the person had to be Jiang Wuyou’s husband, Xu Linghe. But who could disguise this man? Emperor Jun was stumped by the question. He looked at Feng Xi for a long time and finally shook his head in denial. All of a sudden he remembered Zhu Jiuyin who was familiar with Jiang Wuyou.

“Ask the Master of Immense Sea to come.”

Under orders, the officer went directly to the Immense Sea. When Zhu Jiuyin arrived, people were discussing in the main hall. Everyone thought that Emperor Jun should send Feng Xi to carry out this task, lest the Heavenly Book should fall into the hands of others. Emperor Jun certainly had good reasons for choosing Zhu Jiuyin. Cunning as he was, Zhu Jiuyin was fiercely loyal to Feng Xi, so Emperor Jun was not afraid that the Immense Sea would take the Heavenly Book for themselves. Zhu Jiuyin arrived at the main hall confused. He thought Emperor Jun had something important to call him in the evening, but Emperor Jun did not explain the purpose of calling him after he waited a long time. Zhu Jiuyin became impatient. These days he was busy repairing the royal court, and the fact that these people called him in the night seemed to him that they were bothering him. Then he turned and went straight to the door. At this moment, Feng Xi hastened to stop his friend.

“His Majesty wants you to take Jiang Wuyou’s child.”

“Take her child? How?” Zhu Jiuyin immediately lifted his foot and continued to walk on.

“Please don’t go. You are called here today for the sake of the Heavenly Book. On the 6th day of next lunar month, the new Master of Kunlun will get married with Jiang Wuyou, and you can dress up as Xu Linghe and take away Jiang Wuyou’s child.”

The word “get married” echoed in Zhu Jiuyin’s ears. Even though love had been removed, Zhu Jiuyin still felt lost. That woman was going to be someone else’s bride.

“Master of Immense Sea.”

Interrupted by the call, Zhu Jiuyin regained his sanity. Thinking of the terrible situation in the imperial court, he was finally filled with hatred.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think I’m up to the task of pretending to be Xu Linghe. I’m afraid I’ll spoil your work.”

Hearing Zhu Jiuyin’s polite refusal, Chidi thought of a suitable candidate. The man had feelings for Jiang Wuyou, and it was because of the woman that he had aligned with Chidi. The more Chidi thought about it, the more he felt that the man was fit for the job, so he told Emperor Jun, taking credit for it.

“Now that Master of Immense Sea has declined, I think of a suitable person.”

“Who?” Asked all the people in unison in the hall, curious about the so-called suitable man.

“The King of the Fairy Kingdom, Xiao Qi,” Chidi answered in a loud voice.

Emperor Jun didn’t know Xiao Qi. Zhu Jiuyin remembered the fake Chidi who he met in the Ninth-level Heaven. At that time, Xiao Qi openly antagonized Emperor Jun, which indicated that he was infatuated with that woman. He didn’t know how Xiao Qi would feel when he took the child of the woman he loved. Zhu Jiuyin hated the woman, but he would not take her child, just as he had refused to do dirty things when he forced the Goddess of the Moon. In a word, Zhu Jiuyin had his own bottom line.

Emperor Jun wanted Chidi to plan everything carefully, because nothing could go wrong. Chidi, of course, took the order and went back to the Mount Da Huang. He had to do his job seriously to get Emperor Jun’s approval. Chidi was excited to think that one day he might live in a grand building in the Ninth-level Heaven. He made up his mind that he would finish the job neatly this time and make a good impression on Emperor Jun. When he arrived at the Mount Da Huang, it was midnight, but he still asked the servants to wake up everyone. Yu Xuanji heard the noise and crept into the main hall in order to find out why Chidi was so anxious. Nascent Soul didn’t look cool in the main hall, but as Chidi’s eyes as frosty as two ice knives swept over the hall, he was so scared that he didn’t dare to look up. At this point, Chidi exuded a powerful deterrent, without bowing and scraping like a slave in the Ninth-level Heaven.

“I called all of you in the middle of the night because I have something to discuss with you. The 6th day of next lunar month is the inauguration day as well as the wedding day of the new Master of Kunlun. By then, Xiao Qi will dressed as the groom to capture the bride’s child, but the real groom must disappear. Everyone understand?”

Xiao Qi was both happy and upset that Chidi had asked him to pretend to be Xu Linghe. What made him happy was that he could see Xiaoyao, and what made him worry was what would happen after Xiaoyao knew the truth. He loved Xiaoyao, and to marry with her was one of his dreams. For the dream, Xiao Qi would never back down.

“What a plan! It’s the greatest happiness for someone,” Di Qing uttered in a strange way.

In fact, he was thinking about how Xu Linghe would look when he knew his wife was going to be his cousin’s wife. He gave a gentle smile. It was comforting to find happiness in someone else. “Xu Linghe, you’ve got a lot of people undermine you. I’ll see who will get the last laugh.” (The author’s thouhgt: Yeah! I also wanted to know who would get the last laugh, but who knew?)

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Xiao Qi agreed immediately as Chidi had expected. However, there were some things he had to tell Xiao Qi about— the point of the capture was to get the Heavenly Book, and he wanted Xiao Qi to understand the mission and not fail because of that woman.

“Remember, King of the Fairy Kingdom. You’re pretending to be Xu Linghe in order to get the Heavenly Book, so don’t forget about your business.”

“Yes. Grandmaster is right.”

Xiao Qi felt great resentment at Nascent Soul’s words. “You brownnoser! One day I will destroy your fire tribe!” He swore in his mind and fired a wave of Spirit Power at Nascent Soul. Sensing danger approaching, Nascent Soul hid behind a stone pillar. Then Xiao Qi struck in the direction of the pillar, causing it to break into several pieces. Xiao Qi’s rage made Nascent Soul quiet. Yu Xuanji, standing outside the hall, put all the blame on Chidi. Now that Xiao Qi was the man that Yu Xuanji took a fancy to, how could she want him to marry someone else even if it was a sham marriage? Afterwards, Yu Xuanji felt her way the bedroom in the dark. No sooner had she covered herself than the door was pushed open. A chill rushed into the room and the papers crashed on the desk. Realizing that there was a patient in the room, Chidi hurriedly closed the door, and strode briskly to the bed. As he looked at the woman in the bed, a lazy somnolence somehow descended on him. He lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep. Yu Xuanji crept up and headed for the door. She was going to ask Xiao Qi. When she reached Xiao Qi’s door, she drew back her outstretched hand, blaming herself for her impulsiveness. She tried to go back the way she came, but stopped a few steps later, thinking, “No, I must ask him!” Yet, when she opened the door, she chickened out and withdrew. Xiao Qi, of course, knew what was going on outside, and thought, “What a bold woman! Once on shore, you pray no more. Aren’t you afraid of death?” He pretended to be asleep. There was no sound in his bedroom except the beating of the woman’s heart. Xiao Qi thought Yu Xuanji would do something indecent, but unexpectedly, the woman just looked at him and didn’t leave until a pearly white glimmer appeared on the eastern horizon. Xiao Qi took a deep breath. Yu Xuanji heard his breathing outside, and her mouth curved into a smile...
