A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

After thinking for a while, Bai Hao raised his eyes and said with a serious expression.

Whether there are other hidden reasons behind Consort Yun's matter will not be discussed for the time being.

The Fifth Prince has distinguished himself in battle, enjoys popular support, and is known for his composure, calmness, strategic thinking, and love for his people—a quality reminiscent of the former Emperor. This is an indelible fact.

Perhaps because of the matter concerning Consort Yun, the Emperor dislikes the Fifth Prince quite a bit; this matter still requires the Emperor's own decision.

Your Majesty, I only hope that you will not make a decision you will regret. The stability of the Crown Prince is crucial to the well-being of all the people of Xiling. I only hope that Xiling will become stronger, free from the invasion of enemy states, and that its people will be spared the suffering of war.

There's really nothing to hide. Bai Hao doesn't believe the Emperor can't see it; perhaps he's just unwilling to acknowledge the Fifth Prince's excellence.

These things are all out in the open. No one in the court is incompetent, and everyone can see clearly who is more suitable for the position of crown prince.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and Bai Hao looked at each other for three seconds before looking away.

As expected of Bai Hao, he remains the same dashing and upright young general, as if none of his secrets can be hidden from him.

The Fifth Prince was indeed outstanding, and the one most like his father among all his sons. He was courageous, resourceful, understood the will of the people, and knew the bloodshed on the battlefield. He was indeed the most suitable candidate for the position of Crown Prince.

However, the matter of Consort Yun must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise the emperor of the country will have a stain on his record.

Their actions of causing chaos in the palace have been criticized and are a disgrace to the Xiling royal family.

The crown prince may not need a powerful maternal clan, but his mother must be clean and upright.

“My dear minister, you see clearly. I was blinded by the past. The Fifth Prince is indeed the best candidate for Crown Prince.”

The emperor spoke in a detached tone, implying that he was an incompetent father.

"I am merely stating the facts; the final decision rests with Your Majesty."

Bai Hao disliked the power struggles within the imperial court; he preferred the battlefield, a real fight with swords and spears, and disdained all these intricate schemes.

The reason for recommending the Fifth Prince as Crown Prince was partly for the sake of his daughter, but the main reason was that Gu Yanchi was a dragon among men who could become a wise and capable ruler.

..........

The Imperial Advisor blocked Bai Luoluo's way.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Luoluo looked at him warily.

"Is there something you need, Imperial Preceptor?"

She looked wary, her gun tucked into her sleeve.

The Jiaolong is an existence comparable to the dragon.

Ancient records state that dragons can enter the sea and soar through the clouds, but it is unknown whether the dragon before us is a snake that has cultivated itself.

She was actually very curious; she wished she could see the dragon's true form.

"Do you know that this national teacher is not human?"

He got straight to the point, his eyes calm and unwavering, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Of course I know, and I'm sure the Imperial Advisor also knows that I am a soul from another world."

When Bai Luoluo saw that he had asked this question, she naturally had nothing to hide.

Even if she can't win, she still has that fox as a backup, so she's not afraid.

"What an interesting human girl." The Grand Preceptor suddenly smiled. "Who brought you to this space?"

"I don't know." Bai Luoluo's eyes darted around. "I woke up here."

Her words seemed sincere, but the Imperial Advisor gave her a disapproving look.

"Never lie in front of your national teacher. You have the scent of a fox on you. Now that I'm close to you, I can be absolutely certain."

"Stop calling me 'Imperial Advisor' all the time. Dare to reveal your real name?"

Bai Luoluo changed the subject, and Tu Shanyuan was alarmed and quickly asked her.

"Hey, he can see you."

“His cultivation is good, and his abilities are very strong. I am also watching him. Do not panic. He has no ill intentions for the time being.”

"Then how should I answer?"

"Answering the truth will make things better; you can't fool him with lies."

"it is good."

After Bai Luoluo finished communicating, she naturally stopped speaking in riddles.

"Jiao Wushang, that is my name." The dragon proclaimed its name, its tone tinged with arrogance. "The fox on your body may come out and meet me."

Wow, that's a great name! It's cool and domineering, perfect for a dragon.

“I was indeed brought here by a fox. He is no longer with me, but left behind a divine consciousness to protect me.”

She didn't want to tell the truth. Tu Shanyuan, that fox, couldn't come out now. If Jiao Wushang really had murderous intentions, she would have better keep some trump cards up her sleeve.

"Oh? Really?"

Jiao Wushang's tone was questioning, his eyes scanning Bai Luoluo up and down.

The aura is indeed very weak; could it really be gone?

"It seems like he's been sealed away by something, but I don't know exactly what happened."

Bai Luoluo's eyes were sincere, as if she were saying everything she knew.

"What is the fox called? What is its origin?"

Jiao Wushang asked repeatedly. He wanted to leave this space, but with his current strength, he couldn't break through the barrier here. If this fox was strong enough, they could cooperate to leave this place together.

"Tu Shan Yuan, origin unknown."

Bai Luoluo pursed her lips. This guy seemed to be checking her household registration. What did he mean by that?

Tushan.........

It was him.

How can this be.

For a moment, Jiao Wushang lost his composure and took two steps back.

Seeing his somewhat flustered expression, Bai Luoluo's eyes held a hint of confusion.

Does he know you?

The way he looks shows he's heard of this name.

Bai Luoluo clearly felt a sigh.

The sigh carried a hint of helplessness.

"I am the Fox King, and everyone in my world, the demon realm, knows me. Perhaps he has heard of my name."

"Looks like you're quite the big shot."

"Things are different now. I just want to go back and take my revenge."

Tu Shanyuan's tone carried a hint of sadness, as well as a faint killing intent.

"Don't worry, I will help you find those three things."

It seems to be a monster with a story; Bai Luoluo can sense Tu Shanyuan's emotions.

"Thank you."

These two words were sincere; he truly needed Bai Luoluo's help.

"The Fox King has already disappeared, how could he possibly be here?"

Jiao Wushang was a demon, so he had naturally heard about the deeds of Tushan Abyss.

The number one demon below the Demon Emperor, the Tushan Nine-Tailed White Fox, possessed extremely strong combat power and had never been defeated. However, she disappeared without a trace, and countless demons worshipped this Fox Emperor.

"I don't know that."

Bai Luoluo lowered her eyes and looked at her toes.

As expected, they knew each other. It seems that Tu Shanyuan is a formidable character.

"Where is he?"

Jiao Wushang asked, his tone somewhat anxious.

“He is sealed within him and needs three treasures to come out and see you, otherwise his soul will be damaged.”

These words were spoken by Bai Luoluo at Tu Shanyuan's behest; perhaps Jiao Wushang could also help him.

Bai Luoluo is, after all, just a mortal with limited abilities, but Jiao Wushang is different. He is a great demon who has lived for over a thousand years and can summon wind and rain with ease. He has a high chance of finding treasures quickly and easily.

"Tell me what treasures you need."

As expected, Jiao Wushang really wanted to see Tu Shanyuan.

When he was young, he often heard people talk about the Fox King's achievements, and he admired him greatly. Now that he has met him, he really wants to meet him.

"Refining Spirit Grass, Dragon Soul Wood, Spirit Stones."

Bai Luoluo mentioned these three treasures, hoping that Jiao Wushang would know their whereabouts so she could go and find them directly.
