The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

"Please! Big brother, please let me go!" Shen Yao cried out in despair. For three days, Tu Xiaoxiao refused to untie the spirit rope, keeping her tied up and living with him, forcing her to be on guard at all times. She hadn't slept for three days.

Tu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, ate and slept as usual, and was in great spirits.

"Take responsibility." No matter how much Shen Yao pleaded, he only said those two words.

Shen Yao tried every method imaginable, but she simply couldn't untie the Demon Ancestor's spirit rope.

I was too embarrassed to tell my father about this situation.

After all, she was the one who started it...

In short, it was quite embarrassing, and she had to resolve this matter before her husband and father returned.

Moreover, Tu Xiaoxiao seemed to be doing it on purpose, always dragging her around the Tu family home, deliberately showing off the spirit rope that bound the two of them, as if afraid that no one would see it.

What's even more infuriating is that he even took her to Jinxiu Garden and, in front of Tu Ruanruan, described in detail how she kissed and sucked him in his white fox form... He even asked Tu Ruanruan, "When she touches your tail, is it like this too?"

Shen Yao was truly embarrassed, experiencing firsthand what it meant to want to disappear into the ground.

After wandering around again, Shen Yao returned to her room and complained, "You tied me up, so I can't cultivate."

Tu Xiaoxiao coldly retorted: "If you were focused on cultivation, you wouldn't have formed a partner so early."

God, save me! Shen Yao felt that the male fox was even more troublesome than Jiang Ming.

Once she's freed, she'll definitely go find her father and cut off all her unwanted romantic advances.

Father is skilled in Taoist magic; he should be able to cut off any unwanted romantic advances, right?

Shen Yao yawned; she was really sleepy.

Never mind, I'll just lean on the table and take a nap first.

The fairy propped her head up with her hand, nodding her head little by little, and soon she lay down on the table and drifted off to sleep.

Tu Xiaoxiao wasn't heartless enough to actually prevent her from sleeping. He used his fox tail to curl her up and place her on the bed. He leaned over the bedside, watching the fairy's sleeping face: 'This little thing, although she's a pervert, is quite cute.'

The more I look at it, the cuter it becomes.

It would be even cuter if she could obediently take responsibility for him.

Shen Yao was fast asleep and wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Tu Xiaoxiao untied the spirit rope, left the room, and went to the side hall of the first-floor lobby.

In the side hall, a male cultivator dressed as a guard was tied to a chair, while another guard with gray fox ears sat next to him.

Upon seeing Tu Xiaoxiao enter, the fox-eared guard stood up and bowed, saying, "Second Young Master."

Tu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, looking at the bound male cultivator: "How did you find out?"

Fox-eared Guard: "Reporting to the Second Young Master, Lin Zhi has been loitering around Xiaoxiang Garden and the pharmacy lately. Even when it's not his patrol time, he's still wandering around the area."

"Xiao Qi, who lived with him in the team, noticed his unusual behavior and paid more attention. Sure enough, in the latter half of last night, he got up suspiciously and hid behind the house to send messages."

The fox-eared guard handed over a jade token with both hands: "This is his communication token. We checked it and found that Lin Zhi was investigating the immortal cultivators that the Second Young Master brought back. He passed the information to a cultivator named Wang Xu."

Tu Xiaoxiao took the communication token, thought for a moment, and looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Lin Zhi, a hundred years ago, my fourth brother rescued you outside the city and brought you back to the Tu family to treat you. After you recovered, you refused to leave, saying that you wanted to guard the Tu family and repay my fourth brother."

"Is this how you repay me?"

He took the seat of honor in the side hall, and with a flick of his spiritual power, Lin Zhi knelt down in front of him, carrying a chair on his back.

Lin Zhi was very principled: "Since we've been exposed, kill us if you want."

Tu Xiaoxiao pulled up his call logs, found Wang Xu, scrolled to the bottom, and went through each message one by one.

Lin Zhi: "Young Master Tu brought back three immortal cultivators. After investigation, two of them were found to be Shen Yao and Feng Yu, and the other was a young male cultivator whom Shen Yao called 'father,' who is probably Huo Die."

Wang Xu: "Continue the investigation. Shen Yao's father is an Immortal Emperor. Be careful in everything you do and do not reveal your identity."

Immortal Emperor? Tu Xiaoxiao was very surprised. Huo Die was not an Immortal Venerable, but an Immortal Emperor. He had been hiding his identity very well. The Immortal Clan had actually produced an Immortal Emperor. He had to start to doubt their purpose in coming to Dragon Abyss City again.

Lin Zhi: "They moved into Tu Er Gongzi's Xiaoxiang Garden."

Lin Zhi: "There was no opportunity to investigate today."

Lin Zhi: "Today's investigation yielded no results."

Lin Zhi: "Feng Yu seems to be seriously injured and has been admitted to the Tu family pharmacy. Huo Xiandi is guarding the pharmacy, while Shen Yao is alone."

Wang Xu: "Shen Yao only has one earth spirit root. Find an opportunity to kidnap her and send her back to the True God Sect."

Tu Xiaoxiao frowned when she saw this message. Kidnapped? Sent back to the True God Sect? It seems that Wang Xu has ill intentions.

Moreover, Shen Yao is clearly a Celestial Saint, so why does Wang Xu say that she only has one Earth Spirit Root?

He continued looking up.

Lin Zhi: "Wang Zhuwei's information is incorrect. According to our investigation, Shen Yao is a Celestial Saint."

When Wang Xu reported this news to Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming felt it was both unexpected and expected. She had been willing to endure the pain to keep the fragments of her spiritual root, but it turned out that they could be reshaped.

Jiang Ming's first reaction was to tell Wang Xu to keep quiet; Jiang Qi must not know about this.

After receiving the order, Wang Xu informed Lin Zhi: "The hall master has ordered that the matter of Shen Yao being a celestial saint must not be mentioned again. If we cannot abduct her, we should find an opportunity to befriend her and keep track of her whereabouts."

Tu Xiaoxiao was getting angry. The True God Sect had five hall masters, and she wondered which hall master wanted to capture Shen Yao.

He suspected that the three immortal cultivators' trip to the demon realm to find Shen Yao's sister was a pretense, and that their real purpose was to escape the pursuit of the True God Sect.

But since Huo Die is an Immortal Emperor, why would he be afraid of being hunted down by the True God Sect? As far as he knows, Huo Die is the only Emperor-level cultivator in the world today!

That's an Emperor Cultivator, an existence that can crush everything in the world today. Even if several Immortal Venerables from the True God Sect were to join forces, they might not be able to defeat an Emperor Cultivator.

This is quite a mystery.

The rest of the information, apart from a report that Shen Yao went out for a trip and brought back a white fox, was mostly about fruitless investigations.

The last message, the one that led to Lin Zhi's arrest, stated: "Shen Yao somehow offended Young Master Tu, and he tied her to him with a spirit rope, taking her everywhere he goes."

When Wang Xu reported this news, he was very uneasy. Usually, when he mentioned Shen Xianzi's news to the hall master, the hall master would have a cold expression. Today, upon hearing this news, the hall master's face visibly turned gloomy.

He took it everywhere he went, and he had done that before. Of course he knew what Young Master Tu was thinking. Jiang Ming was cursing Feng Yu for being useless, unable to protect her, and even trying to take her away from him.

Therefore, the last message Lin Zhi received after being arrested was from Wang Xu: "Be ready at any time to assist in the assassination of the second young master of the Tu family."

Tu Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Heh, you want to assassinate me?"

He put away Lin Zhi's communication token, as if responding to a huge joke: "I have lived for eight hundred years and have never been assassinated. I'll spare his life and see how they plan to kill me."

He got up and left without bothering to interrogate Lin Zhi about why he wanted to be an inside agent for the True God Sect. He only told the Fox Ear Guardian, "Take my fourth brother to his courtyard and have him keep an eye on him. Let him learn a lesson and not to go around doing good deeds indiscriminately."
