Meteorite Jade Scandal

Chapter 67 - Huli Jing?

"Give it to me, A-Feng! Let me paint! I know, apart from making trouble you have no other skills, right?" Yushen ridiculed Sifeng, trying to distract Sifeng from drowning in grief.

Well, it worked. Now, Sifeng is even more annoyed at being labeled a troublemaker by his own brother.

"Oii, I'm not a troublemaker, Zhang Yushen!" shouted Sifeng, annoyed. Sifeng glared at his brother's eyes while pointing at Yushen.

"You remember, Lao Yushen! I will be a successful person someday. Just you wait! After my 'Robot Theme Park' project is successful, you will be proud of me, Lao Yushen." Sifeng boasted. He patted his chest, proudly.

"Hmm, hao! I'll be looking forward to that time, Xiao Feng! But … why would I doubt your abilities, huh? It seems, I'm not sure that your 'Robort Theme Park' project will be completed so quickly. You are a very slow at work," Yushen sneered back, which irritated Sifeng even more.

"Zhang Yushen! You just can't make my heart happy, huh?!" Sifeng shouted. Sifeng now even ruffled Yushen's straight hair.

"Hey, stop it, Xiao Feng! You ruined my hairdo, you idiot!"

Yushen pushed Sifeng so hard that Sifeng fell to the floor.

Yushen, who saw his brother complaining that her buttocks hurt, felt sorry. However, Yushen would not help Sifeng stand up for now.

Yushen sat on the sofa that had a painting of the shape of a fox on it too.

"So isn't this painting it? You keep bothering me, Fool!" Yushen snapped again.

"It's up to you, Lao Yu!" Sifeng replied, so reluctantly. Sifeng was now even sitting away from his brother. Sifeng was afraid of being bullied by Yushen again.

Yushen started painting 9 tails on the back side of the fox using ink.

After Yushen managed to draw the 9 foxes, suddenly a lightning flashed. Followed by the sound of thunder. A strong wind suddenly pierced through the room, sending several objects falling from their place.

Suddenly Sifeng ran over and hugged his brother's arm.

After Yushen managed to draw the 9 foxes, suddenly a lightning flashed. Followed by the sound of thunder. A strong wind suddenly pierced through the room, sending several objects falling from their place.

Suddenly Sifeng ran over and hugged his brother's arm. The three things that Sifeng hated the most in this world were lightning, fire and heights.

"What the hell is this apartment of yours, Lao Yu? How come there's a sudden rush like that, huh?!"

"I don't know, A-Feng!"

"Yu Gege ... I'm so scared! Is this apartment of mine haunted?!" Sifeng asked. Sifeng tightened his grip on Yushen's arm even more.

"Tch! You're acting like a child, you idiot!"

"Hey, don't call me a kid, Uncle!"

Knock!!

The inkstone landed right above Sifeng's head. Yushen had just hit his sister's head with an inkstone. Luckily Yushen didn't turn the inkstone upside down. If so, surely by now Sifeng's hair and face would be full of ink.

Even so, Yushen's punch just now made Sifeng's head spin.

"What are you doing, Lao Yu?! Why do you always abuse me from the start, huh?! Where did you say you loved me as a sister, huh?!" Sifeng protested as usual.

However, Yushen did not respond. He just danced the right corner of his lips into a smirk.

They were still getting into silly fights when suddenly the lights went off and on and on and on.

"I'll bet 5 million yuan if your apartment is indeed haunted, Lao Yu," said Sifeng.

Even though he was always being bullied by his older brother, Sifeng still kept getting closer to Yushen. Especially in a tense situation like today. The lights were off-on-off-on ever since. Not to mention the lightning that struck and thunder boomed. It scared Sifeng even more.

"Is that apartment of yours cursed, Lao Yu?"

"Nonsense, A-Feng! Besides being lousy you are also a coward. It really doesn't reflect the Zhang family's ancestry." Yushen sneered again. Don't know why, but Yushen really likes teasing and bullying his little brother.

The lights seemed to be playing again, off-on-off-on. And so on. Sifeng tightened his grip on Yushen's arm even more. Even though Yushen kept pushing his brother's body, but in the end Sifeng returned to take refuge in Yushen's armpit.

The painting that was originally sitting on the sofa, now floats in the air. It emits violet rays that are getting brighter and more dazzling.

Sifeng and Yushen blinked to adjust the light entering their eyes.

A moment later, the light slowly disappeared. However, what did they see in front of them right now? A beautiful woman was in front of them, right above the painting that was now lying on the floor of Yushen's apartment.

Sifeng again hid in his brother's armpit. Really childish, isn't it?

"Who are you, Miss?" Yushen asked a moment later. After he confirmed that the one in front of them was a real woman

The woman didn't answer. The woman squirmed to stretch the muscles that she felt had stiffened.

"Hmm ... I'm finally free after being sealed in that painting for 250 years." The woman spoke.

Sifeng and Yushen exchanged glances. They digested her every word.

Fox painting? 9 tails? Locked up in a painting, so what?

"HULI JING!" shouted Sifeng and Yushen in unison.

"Oh no! I'm a KITSUNE just so you know! Yes, I'm still related to Huli Jing from China and Gumiho from Korea." The woman explained.

Yushen and Sifeng really didn't understand what the woman was saying. The two Zhang sons glanced back at each other.

"Okay, I'll explain again," the woman said as she sat gracefully next to Sifeng and Yushen.

"I'm the Kyubi no Kitsune, a 9-tailed kitsune from Japan. Well, maybe in this country you call it Huli Jing. But believe me, we are different clans. And my name is Zenko, which is a Zenko type Kitsune which means a kind kitsune. In fact, some even call me as Inari. Do you understand?"

The beautiful woman in a purple fur coat spoke.

Yushen and Sifeng were stunned. They were both stupefied for quite a long time. Either fascinated by her beauty or do not understand the woman's explanation?

"But you don't prey on handsome men like the two of us, do you? Like you're going to absorb our life energy like the ones in the movies?" said Sifeng, daring himself.

"Oh come on, Humans! I told you, I'm neither a Gumiho nor a male energy-devouring Huli Jing. I'm just a kitsune who eats aburage tofu, and azukimeshi."

"TOFU?!" said Yushen and Sifeng at the same time. "Suddenly fried tofu, that five hundred?" Sifeng added, ambiguously.

"Fried suddenly how? Ah, our conversation really does not continue. I will leave soon. I am very grateful to you. One day, I will repay your kindness. Goodbye!" said the woman who claimed her name was Zenko earlier.

The woman just disappeared, leaving thousands of questions in Sifeng and Yushen's heads.

-Fotia State Palace-

A woman walked gracefully closer to the side of the man sitting dreamily on his throne.

"What are you daydreaming about, Your Majesty?" the woman said into the ear of the man on the throne. That man is her husband.

The man didn't answer, his gaze was so blank and cold. Nothing has managed to melt his hard heart so far.

"You still think about that woman, my king?!" snapped Alceena.

Well, it's Alceena. The most beautiful woman from the Land of Fotia. She is indeed a native of this Fotia Country. A woman who was King Feu'er's concubine for over 250 years. She was the mother of the second prince, Prince Felius.

King Feu'er stood still on his throne. I don't know where his mind is. All this time, he had always been cold to Concubine Alceena, the woman who had bestowed him a handsome prince named Felius, the youngest prince of Fotia Country.

"I'm fed up with you, Feu'er! Why are you still thinking about that traitorous woman, huh? Remember, Feu'er! That bitch has left you just to hook the leader of these 3 realms! She'd rather be with Jack Greyrat than you, Feu'er!!" Concubine Alceena shouted, angry.

"Stop it, Alceena!" King Feu'er rose from his throne. His emotions began to peak as he recalled the betrayal.

Well, the betrayal of his empress, Zenko, mother of the first prince, Zarius.

"Why? Isn't it so painful like this? Why don't you ever think about my feelings, Feu'er! Are you angry and disappointed now? That's exactly how I've felt for the past 250 years, sob sob...." Alceena's tears broke. She could no longer be treated as if he were an inanimate object that did not need attention.

King Feu'er looked regretful. He pulled Alceena's body and brought Alceena into his arms. King Feu'er gently stroked the head of the woman who had been faithful to accompany him.

"I'm sorry, My Wife. I just need some time to get over it." King Feu'er spoke.

A woman is walking gracefully in the hustle and bustle of Beijing. Every eye is watching her. Her appearance was so strange. The woman was wearing a long dress and a light purple fur coat.
