The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

There were screams in the small courtyard. Everyone fled in all directions. The guards protected the queen and retreated.

Several demon hunters stepped forward and surrounded the ferret, throwing spells and magic weapons at it.

The ferret was originally only twelve inches long, but it grew longer in the wind, and in an instant it turned into a monster that was ten feet long and as tall as half a man. It swept its tail, knocking the people around to the ground, and then fled outside.

Jiang Zhixia followed it closely, with some doubts. It was a demon, but it didn't seem to want to hurt anyone. It just cast spells to scare them away.

She wanted to ask clearly, but as soon as she left the yard, she saw Li Xuchu holding a few magic talismans to freeze the ferret in place. Then he formed a seal with his hands, and a golden light suddenly fell on the ferret's head. Slowly its body returned to normal size, and finally it became human again.

He buried his head in the snow, as if he didn't dare to look at the Queen's expression.

Jiang Zhixia, hidden in the crowd, felt more and more that this national master was not simple. This kind of Taoist magic is not something that a weak person can do.

The Queen pointed at the man on the ground and asked with surprise, "Are you really a demon!?"

After hearing this, the ferret knelt down to her and cried sadly: "I didn't mean to deceive Your Majesty. I am a demon, but I have never harmed anyone. I will not do anything to curse others."

"Then what are you doing in Cuiwu?"

"It's... it's for." He hesitated, not knowing what to say.

He was actually sent by the ferret clan to assassinate the Queen of Cuiwu Kingdom. Because their country ordered not to hurt foxes, but only to skin minks. As a result, the number of their tribesmen has dropped sharply, and they may be annihilated if they don't find a way.

But he never thought that he was attracted to the queen and couldn't do it at all. So she prayed to the patriarch and said that God has a good life and the queen is just following the arrangements of her ancestors. Instead of killing her, let her change the law and not kill ferrets. This way everyone will be happy.

However, before he completed his mission, his identity was revealed.

"I know that I approached Your Majesty with impure intentions at first. But my sincerity towards you is evident. I have never harmed anyone since I entered the palace." He said sincerely, his tears like broken beads. , looking very pitiful.

The queen closed her eyes, her brows filled with fatigue. Maybe he didn't expect that his beloved husband's servant was actually a demon who wanted to assassinate him. She should have killed him, but in the end she relented and had him imprisoned until he could be interrogated.

"Your Majesty!" The emperor's husband interrupted: "I know you are kind-hearted. But the monster is the best liar, so you must not stay. He claimed that he did not hurt anyone, but he killed so many fairy foxes. What if the ancestors were angry?" And he had previously cursed to kill Zhen Sohu’s servant..."

"I didn't do this!" He glared at the emperor's husband, and then said to the queen: "Your Majesty, the emperor's husband must have framed him. Just imagine that I am a demon. If I really want to kill someone, I can do it without leaving a trace. Traces, why leave evidence for others to catch?"

"Maybe you did it on purpose..."

The two argued endlessly, and the queen asked Li Xu Chuxu what to do.

Li Xuchu was worried about Jiang Zhixia, so he ran all the way over and used up his energy and blood to cast spells to subdue the demon. Now his face was pale, he kept coughing, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xiaosong's eyes were red and he helped him calm down. Then he looked coldly at Jiang Zhixia who was standing next to Xie Zezhi. Finally, he didn't care that the Queen was still there and couldn't help but accuse loudly: "Are you just standing there? My master wants to If I wasn’t here to save you, why would I relapse? You woman is so heartless."

"Xiaosong! Cough, cough..." Li Xuchu interrupted him and stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhixia while coughing, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxia, come to me."

Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then left Xie Zezhi and walked to his side to support him, but said nothing. Seeing her approaching, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and then he answered the queen's question just now.

"The matter of the ferret demon still needs to be verified." He said: "Detain him in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion first, and then let His Majesty make a decision after the investigation is completed."

After hearing this, the Queen nodded and left the matter to him, and at the same time announced a heavy reward for all the monster hunters.

After something like this happened, she had no intention of continuing the party. Today's dinner was over, and the envoys from various countries took their cars back.

Jiang Zhixia and Li Xuchu took a carriage back to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. The two of them were silent all the way. When Li Xu first saw that she was not as cheerful as before, he felt a little uneasy.

After arriving at the house, he insisted on walking her to the door of the room. When he saw her entering, he asked her if she was scared by the goblin today. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself.

"Master Li." She turned around and asked, "I want to know if you knew early on that your servant was not a human being, and also knew that the evil spirits they talked about had nothing to do with him, so you were calm and sat still at that time. .”

"Yes." Li Xuchu didn't hide it from her, which surprised her.

"You and the emperor's husband teamed up to put on a show to get rid of him under the guise of getting rid of evil spirits?"

"I didn't!" Li Xuchu was a little excited.

"Of course you didn't. Because your servant is a demon, it's natural for you to get rid of him. There's no need to go around in circles like this." She was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "It's okay for that demon to pay for it by mistake. It's a pity that he died. I don’t know why they died. Just like me, when I see you acting in such a huge drama, I don’t know whether I am a spectator or a pawn you are using.”

Li Xuchu was surprised by her discovery, but still hid it from her, "I didn't treat you as a pawn. I just... In short, I did all this for my own reasons."

"Everyone has their own reasons for doing things." Jiang Zhixia didn't want to ask anymore, and knew that he wouldn't tell the truth. But she felt a little awkward in her heart, and her tone couldn't help but become colder, "It's getting late, Mr. Li has been exhausted today. Go back and rest as soon as possible." After saying that, she turned around and entered the door.

Li Xuchu stood outside, looking at the closed door, not knowing what to do. How much did she guess? Would she believe him if he told her the truth?

And Xiao Song was beside him, complaining for him.

"I don't know where she got the confidence to be angry with us. I haven't settled the score with her yet. She lived with us while pregnant with someone else's child, and hooked up with other men. She disappeared without a trace one night, and she still has this attitude when she comes back. Master, You kick her out. This person has no heart and doesn't deserve you to be so nice to her."

Li Xuchu shook his head when he heard this and said softly to Xiao Song: "If she had no heart, she would not have rescued you from Xihuang Mountain when her life was in danger."

"Master, you said...you said she is..."

He nodded, finally took a deep look at the figures in the room, and left with Xiao Song.

Jiang Zhixia noticed that he was leaving and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to pour himself a cup of tea, he was picked up by Xie Zezhi who was hiding in the room, and he was pressed against the bed and kissed profusely.

After a long time, the two separated, both panting.

"Are you going to eat me?" Jiang Zhixia rubbed her numb lips and hit his shoulder again, "Do you want to be embarrassed? You broke into a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night. If I scream, I think you are really I don’t want your reputation anymore.”

"My wife is about to run away, why do I need external things like fame and face?" He leaned down and bit her lips to vent his anger.

"Who ran away!? I came back with him because he was acting weird."

"It's because he's pitiful." He curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "When he was catching monsters, he was very energetic, but when he saw you, he pretended to be weak. And when he hit me, he was not weak. There was no trace of anything. Sick looking.”

He raised the back of his hand with no visible red marks to complain to her.

She rolled her eyes at him and held it gently, "Okay, my Lord, I have never seen you so careless before. Speaking of which, aren't you dealing with the affairs of the Zisang family? Why did you come with Gongzaixue? here?"

Xie Zezhi lay down next to her and held her in his arms, saying that Ning Shu had helped him save a lot of trouble by pushing the entire Zisang family to calm down the incident. His main purpose now is to find out which gods the Zisang family has colluded with and which gods they have sent to the fairy world.

Without the Demon Lord as their backer, those people naturally made no resistance. In order to fight for their lives, everyone said everything they could without hiding anything. Coupled with Shangguan Yun's confession, the case was investigated quickly. Finally, a large number of people from Mr. Lu Qi's camp were uncovered. This is similar to what Xie Zezhi had expected before.

That day when he reported the preliminary results to the Emperor of Heaven, he met the Immortal Family from the Northern Heaven who came to rescue him. He claimed that there was a strange phenomenon in the northern heaven, and that the snow began to melt.

"Why is there snow in the northern heaven?" Jiang Zhixia was very curious.

"I don't know." He said: "They had it when it was built. The snow does not melt all year round. If it turns into water and flows into the world now, it will definitely cause floods."

Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven immediately sent him to the northern heaven to help, but as soon as he arrived there, he heard a loud noise, and he didn't know where the sound came from.

Then the Northern Emperor came out and said that the snow had stopped temporarily. But she couldn't get away and needed Xie Zezhi's help to find out the source of the melting.

He surveyed above for a long time, and later discovered that there was a mass of black air lingering under the northern heaven. This place is Cuiwu Country. He was suspicious, so he explained the situation to the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of the North and then descended to earth.

"Oh~" Jiang Zhixia understood, "Then how did you and Zexue meet?"

"She went to heaven to report that there were also visions in the southern heaven. The plague was spreading all over the south. The southern emperor hid it and did not dare to tell the truth. But she was afraid that something would happen, so she came here to report to the emperor.

It shouldn't be a coincidence that things happened in two heavens at the same time. I thought there might be some connection between these two things, so I took her down with me. "

"Is this why Nishuang came down?"

"She..." Xie Zezhi was upset when he remembered that day, but he didn't show it. He just avoided the topic and said: "Don't mention her. Let's go back to Cuiwu Country. Head Jiang, do you still remember the fox you saw today? ?”

Jiang Zhixia nodded, "Is that a thing from the demon world?"

"No." Xie Zezhi leaned into her ear, "I entered the palace a few days before you and checked out those foxes. Do you know where those things came from?"

"where?"

"Qingqiu."
