Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

"Jiang Yu, explain yourself?"

Jiang Yu was initially preoccupied with the little white fox in the room, but upon hearing He Wanglan's voice, she was startled to realize that the fox was being held in the other's arms.

"!!!"

Jiang Yu rushed forward in one stride, then lowered her raised hand again, afraid of frightening the little fox.

He stood awkwardly to one side, even hunching his back slightly from being too cautious.

"My name is Jiang Yu. What's your name?"

Jiang Heng stood up and looked at the man in front of her. The moment she saw him, her demon core stirred. When she got closer, she found that her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his, except that Jiang Heng's were more delicate.

He had a vague guess, so he simply asked, "My name is Jiang Heng. Are you my father?"

"Yes! I am!"

Jiang Yu hadn't expected the other person to acknowledge him right away. He had even been trying to figure out how to win her favor the whole way. When he heard Jiang Heng's name, his eyes reddened even more. Jiang... he never imagined she would let the child take his surname. Did that mean... did that mean... he hadn't been abandoned?

Jiang Yu raised her hand to pat his head, but He Wanglan dodged to the side.

"???"

He looked up at He Wanglan and said, "Jiang Heng is my child. I trouble you, Demon King, to return him to me."

He Wanglan didn't respond to his question. Instead, she looked down at Jiang Heng and said with a smile, "Little fox, tell him who I am to you."

Two eyes fixed on him simultaneously. Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, concealing his mischievous intentions. He Wanglan meant... He tentatively asked, "Is he my husband?"

"what!"

"what?!"

"What!!"

Three gasps of surprise rang out simultaneously in the room, each carrying a different emotion. Lin Xiao was so astonished he almost dropped 886, while Yao Lie stared at Jiang Heng in disbelief—how could a little fox demon be the Venerable One's companion!

A murderous intent suddenly flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, and an icy blue spiritual power gathered in her palm, about to be uncontrollably attacked He Wanglan.

He Wanglan also looked at Jiang Heng in surprise, her ears burning slightly. This little fox is really... She thought he would say something like "friend" or "husband," but this is just too much.

"He Wanglan, you old monster, you actually seduced my son!"

Jiang Yu endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy at He Wanglan, trying to snatch Jiang Heng away. He Wanglan waved his hand to disperse the energy, then turned and retreated to the side while holding Jiang Heng, not forgetting to tap the little fox's head and say helplessly, "Naughty."

Jiang Heng grabbed his finger and kissed it, her fox-like eyes crinkling with a smile. "It was bound to happen sooner or later."

He Wanglan didn't know how to respond again. The heat that had just dissipated surged back to her ears. Are all the little monsters these days so bold?

Seeing He Wanglan flirting with her son while dodging her attacks, Jiang Yu's anger intensified. Just as she was about to strike again, Jiang Heng poked her head out and said, "Father, he's the one I've set my sights on."

Jiang Yu's anger dissipated instantly. He stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking He Wanglan up and down with disdain, trying to find fault with him. In the end, all he could find was that he was too old. It was infuriating.

“Jiang Heng, you are young and haven’t seen many outstanding demons and humans. Let’s not just focus on one, okay?”

886 was laughing so hard in Lin Xiao's arms that it was kicking its legs. So funny! So funny! He Wanglan's face turned dark! Serves him right, who told him not to give in to his host sooner.

Lin Xiao was charmed by its cuteness, and raised his finger to tickle its little paw, his face beaming with joy.

Yao Lie didn't like hearing Jiang Yu's words. "Is there any demon in this world that can compare to our Venerable One!"

Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't exist in the future.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

Jiang Heng climbed out of He Wanglan's arms, used his arm for leverage to jump, and didn't forget to send a telepathic message to He Wanglan, "I'll handle it."

He Wanglan frowned, suppressing the urge to pull him back.

Jiang Yu watched as Jiang Heng jumped toward her, and hurriedly caught her, her movements so gentle they were almost imperceptible, completely abandoning her dignified and otherworldly demeanor.

He tentatively touched Jiang Heng's head and found that he not only did not reject it, but also rubbed against his palm. His heart softened even more.

"Father, I've taken a liking to him."

"Okay, okay, he's the one, he's the one."

When Jiang Yu realized what she had said, she was about to correct herself when she met Jiang Heng's bright, watery eyes. In the end, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue with resentment.

Jiang Heng gave He Wanglan a look, and her tail wagged faster. He Wanglan smiled and shook his head; he was truly defeated by her.

When they sat down again, Jiang Heng was still being held by Jiang Yu. He secretly poked his tail out and rested it on He Wanglan's wrist, patting it from time to time. He Wanglan pinched the tip of his tail in return, "You think you can get rid of me like this?"

Hearing the telepathic message, the tail wrapped around her wrist slid up and moved upwards, saying, "Save it for now."

He Wanglan felt that he might have been affected by Jiang Heng's use of the word "husband," and his thoughts drifted elsewhere, with the image of the little fox's reddened eyes from that day resurfacing in his mind.

Lin Xiao's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Your Excellency, what was the Five-Tails you mentioned earlier?"

Jiang Yu had just explained the purpose of his visit. Although the main purpose was to find Jiang Heng, running into He Wanglan was a pleasant surprise, saving him the trouble of making another trip.

Looking at the map Lin Xiao had spread out, he turned his gaze to He Wanglan, "Do you think Gao Li is after the Nine-Tailed Fox from back then? Could it be a coincidence?"

A thousand years ago, Bai Xin, the nine-tailed fox, was the previous demon king of He Wang Lan. To suppress the cataclysmic disaster, she joined forces with powerful human beings and voluntarily severed her nine tails, condensing all her cultivation into them and sealing them in the Nine Earths, thus averting that calamity. The deaths and injuries of both humans and demons that year were immense, something no one wanted to recall.

A thousand years later, Jiang Yu was suddenly told that an evil demon was about to attack the seal. Even she was shocked.

"That's a possibility, but I haven't found the connection between him and the Nine-Tails yet."

He Wanglan looked at Jiang Yu, "You should have known from the moment I sent the Skeleton Demon to the human race that I don't want to implicate any innocent demons in Gao Li's matter. Now, I can only try to lure him down from Forget-Worry Mountain."

Jiang Yu nodded knowingly, "I need to discuss this with my senior brother. Regardless of whether he intends to target the Nine-Tails, we should take precautions."

Neither Lin Xiao nor Yao Lie had experienced what happened a thousand years ago, but they could still tell how serious the matter was.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became extremely serious.

At this moment, He Wanglan suddenly remembered something, reached out and hugged Jiang Heng back, "The half-demon bloodline in Jiang Heng's body is affecting his cultivation, and we still need your help with this."

Although He Wanglan had suppressed his bloodline power, if someone connected to him by bloodline were to help him regulate it, his cultivation would no longer be affected by his bloodline.

Jiang Yu immediately tensed up, "Besides cultivation, will it affect anything else?"

It was only then that he realized Jiang Heng's true form was far too small, almost the size of a fox cub. But based on the timeline, he was already a six-hundred-year-old adult fox. However, he didn't understand half-demon bloodlines and didn't know if this was related.

“I’ve already sorted it out for him a few times, so there won’t be any other impact.”

Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Yu's impression of He Wanglan finally improved a bit. No wonder Jiang Heng would take a liking to him. Foxes all like good-looking people. Back then, his mother took a liking to his face... Thinking of that person, Jiang Yu's eyes dimmed a little, but he quickly cheered up again.

"Should we start sorting things out now?"

Jiang Heng also looked up at He Wanglan, her eyes sparkling. Could he then transform into human form?

He Wanglan immediately saw through his thoughts, picked him up and said, "Okay, come with me."
