The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

When the nine-tailed fox was released, it took a deep breath, as if it wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy in the world into its body.

Its voice was lazy and a bit sarcastic: "Finally, I can breathe some fresh air. That tower was like hell. It was so uncomfortable."

It lay lazily on the ground, not caring at all about the gazes of the people present.

Qiu Yi lowered his head and glanced at the white fox. In addition to one tail, there were eight broken tails. It was indeed a nine-tailed fox.

"I heard that you, the demon fox, swallowed my son's Phoenix Pill, which turned you into a nine-tailed demon fox?"

The nine-tailed fox glanced at Qiu Yi and said, "So what? It's not like I dug up your son's Phoenix Pill. All this was done according to Luo Wei's orders."

"It's Luo Wei again." Qiu Yi cursed inwardly, then added: "Although this was not your wish, why did you accept this Phoenix Pill?"

White Fox was stunned: "He wants me to work for him, why can't I accept what he offers me?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was—" Qiu Yi pursed his lips and explained to Jiang Yingxue and the others, "The Phoenix Pill you gave me today is a complete one. There's nothing wrong with it, and there's no sign of it being refined again. Logically, only those of the same bloodline can absorb the Phoenix Pill. If someone else wants to take it in, they'll probably have to throw it into the alchemy furnace and refine it again. Furthermore, refining the Phoenix Pill is extremely difficult, and the slightest mistake will destroy it."

Qiu Yi glared at Jiuwei and said, "Tell me, how can a fox demon like you have the body to hold my son's Phoenix Pill?"

The nine-tailed fox lazily lay on the ground. Upon hearing this, he merely raised his eyelids, his tone filled with a hint of impatience: "How should I know? I've been kept captive by Lord Luo Wei since I was born. I obey him in everything. Luo Wei said that this Phoenix Pill is a great tonic for me. If I eat it, I will instantly become a nine-tailed fox. With such a good thing, I definitely won't let it go."

"Since you said you were raised by Luo Wei since you were a child, then do you know how my daughter came to be?"

The white fox narrowed his eyes and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."

"Then come and listen."

"Why?" The white fox flicked its tail. "After I tell you everything, you're going to throw me into that demon refining tower again. That's pointless."

"So what do you want?" Jiang Yingxue stepped forward. "You've done something so evil, and you still want us to worship you?"

"You don't have to support me, but at least don't torture me, okay?"

"How about this," Qiu Yi said to Jiang Yingxue, "You hand over this white fox to me, and I'll allow you to pick a treasure from under my Wutong tree. This will be my way of thanking you for helping me recover my bloodline."

"Thank you very much, Lord God, but I promised this fox to spare her life..."

"Don't worry, since you promised to spare her life, I will spare her life."

After hearing this, Jiang Yingxue shrugged at the white fox and said, "Since you don't want to stay in the Demon Refining Tower, then you can listen to the Divine Lord's orders."

"Ah?" Before the white fox could react, "Are you sure it's better to stay here than in the Demon Refining Tower?"

Qiu Yi curled his lips, looked at the nine-tailed fox, and asked, "Have you ever hurt my daughter in the slightest?"

"I have never hurt anyone on my own initiative! It was Luo Wei who asked me to swallow the Phoenix Pill!" The white fox swallowed, wondering if this guy was trying to torture him.

Qiu Yi: "Then tell me, do you know anything about my daughter? After all, she has handed you over to me, and your life is in my hands. If you tell me everything, I will be in a good mood and will not torture you. At least let you live a more comfortable life than this Demon Refining Tower."

The light in the white fox's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"That's natural."

"Alright, but I only heard it from other monsters." The white fox swung its tail. "More than a decade ago, while you were visiting the human world, Lord Luo Wei arranged for a woman to stay with you. She drugged you and stole your child. After she returned, she gave birth to this little girl, and then all that happened. In short, to Lord Luo Wei, we were just pawns. And mine, and this girl's, were both determined from birth."

"But why does this Phoenix Pill smell like a fox?"

"Because it stayed in my body for a few months, it's normal for it to have a smell."

"No." Qiu Yi emphasized: "If it's only been a few months, the Phoenix Pill won't ignite the fox's bloodline. It must have taken ten years, or even dozens of years, to be contaminated! Are you hiding something else?"

The white fox was stunned for a moment: "I have said everything I need to say. I haven't hidden anything. But you, you said there is fox blood, then there is fox blood!?"

Qiu Yi shouted, "I can tell the source of this Phoenix Pill just by sensing it!"

The white fox rolled its eyes. "Oh! Look at what you're saying. This girl is only in her teens, and the Phoenix Pill has been in her body since the beginning. So, you're saying this girl has fox blood in her? Isn't this your own seed? And you don't even know where it went? That's outrageous."

"You little fox, you have such a sharp tongue! My life is in my hands, how dare you be so stubborn with me?"

The white fox shrank back: "Okay, I just spoke too quickly, God, please don't-"

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. It's just that I can't figure out the reason behind this... I was drugged back then and I can't remember anything. Could it be that I was with a fox..."

The bloodline of fox and phoenix?

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yingxue suddenly thought of something...

In the original novel, Luo Wei has a powerful monster named Luo Qiao by his side, who can burn down a city with just fox fire.

The reason why Luo Qiao is so powerful, even stronger than the divine beasts, is because she not only has the blood of the Phoenix, but also the blood of Qingqiu, and she also devoured her sisters and built the Nine-Tailed Fox.

However, in order to prevent the Phoenix Clan from knowing, Luo Wei let her always appear in the form of a nine-tailed fox, so that no one knew that this fox actually had the blood of the Phoenix.

When Ziying Jiuwei first appeared, she had her doubts, but Ziying was a white fox and Luo Qiao was a red fox. Furthermore, the names didn't match, so she never doubted them.

Could this girl in front of me be...? Oh, right, I've been on my way since I saved her, and I haven't asked her name yet.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yingxue quickly asked the girl: "By the way, girl, what's your name?"

"My...my name is Aqiao."

"What about the last name?"

A Qiao shook his head: "There is no surname, that's what Lord Luo Wei calls me."

It seems that he took Luo Wei's surname.

I'm so stupid, how could I have forgotten this plot!

This way, everything can be explained...

"I understand..." Jiang Yingxue slowly raised her head and looked at Qiu Yi, who was still frowning in thought, and said slowly: "Everyone, I think I know the reason."
