Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 225 9 Tailed White Fox

"Zhao... Zhao..." Shui Furong was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and the night pearl in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

Time seemed to have stopped. Shui Furong and Ji Anni looked at each other from a distance of about three steps. No one moved. Only the night-shining pearl that fell to the ground rolled towards Ji Anni. After it touched Ji Anni's finger, Ji Anni suddenly waved the night-shining pearl away and let out a loud "Ah". That was no longer a human voice, but the howl of a beast. What was even more terrifying was that when Ji Anni opened her mouth to howl, Shui Furong saw two terrifying white fangs growing out of her mouth.

"Oh my God..." Shui Furong finally realized Ji Anni's aggressiveness and subconsciously stepped back.

At this moment, the peach wood sword in her hand emitted a dazzling golden light, just like Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, it suddenly turned into a three-foot-long sword. And the sword tip was no longer made of wood, but a shining blade of light.

With a cry of "Ouch", Ji Anni was unable to open her eyes due to the blinding golden light and let out another horrified scream.

"Ah!" Shui Furong thought she was going to attack her. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she subconsciously held onto a pillar beside her.

If it weren't for the help of this pillar, Shui Furong would have sat down on the ground long ago.

"You, you, don't come over here..." Shui Furong tightly gripped the peach wood sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Ji Anni's head.

Her hands were shaking so badly that she nearly dropped the sword several times.

Ji Anni slowly approached her, not walking, but crawling, using all four limbs to crawl towards Shui Furong like a wild beast.

"I told you not to come over here!" Shui Furong was almost crying with fear, and she thrust her sword forward. At this time, she was far away from Ji Anni, and she couldn't hurt Ji Anni with her sword. She just wanted to use this aggressive action to warn the other party not to get close.

Her provocation made Ji Anni even more irritable, and she kept making a low "Woo... Woo..." growl from her throat.

Ji Anni did not stop, but continued to crawl forward. Her pair of eyes, shining with white light, stared at Shui Furong, like the gaze of a wild animal hunting, looking for and waiting for the best time to attack.

"Concubine Zhao Congfei, can you hear me?" Shui Furong wiped her sore eyes and called out to Ji Anni with sobs.

Remember before entering the Demon Temple, Ji Anni asked Shui Furong what she would do if she turned into a fox demon again, and Shui Furong replied that she would stab her with a peach wood sword as an exorcism. In fact, most of that statement was just a joke, and no one expected that Ji Anni, who had brought the exorcism talisman, would still turn into a fox demon!

"Princess Zhao Congfei, please don't scare me... Come back and I will... answer me..."

Shui Furong wished she could hear Ji Anni's voice instead of this horrible roar.

Ji Anni had completely lost her human consciousness, her body and mind were controlled by the beast's spiritual power. Whether it was her crawling movements or her gaze at Shui Furong, there was no trace of human in her. She was just like a beast in human skin, with only the prey in her eyes.

Ji Anni's palms seemed to have pads on them, and they made no sound when they moved. There seemed to be something furry and fluffy swaying behind her.

Shui Furong took a closer look and recognized that it was actually a fox's tail.

No, more than one...

Shui Furong rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. There was definitely more than one tail behind Ji Anni, but many tails that opened like fans and swayed slowly, just like a peacock spreading its tail.

In fear, Shui Furong couldn't calm down and slowly count the number of tails, but suddenly she remembered the legend of the nine-tailed fox.

Could it be that Ji Anni in front of him was possessed by a nine-tailed fox demon?

When the nine-tailed fox appears, the world will be in chaos. A few months ago, Taoist Yuan Rong also predicted that there would be a disaster caused by a demon fox in the palace...

The more Shui Furong thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her whole body was shaking.

Her timidity caught Ji Anni's eyes, and she saw the right moment to attack, and she pounced on her with a roar.

That pounce was like a hunting beast, its hind legs pushed off the ground to get into the air, and its hands pressed towards Shui Furong's shoulders like claws.

"Ah!" Shui Furong screamed in fear and subconsciously swung her sword towards Ji Anni.

A stream of blood gushed out, and the sword was stuck in Ji Anni's left shoulder. Ji Anni let out a painful howl.

Although Shui Furong's sword didn't cut deep, it still drew a lot of blood. When Shui Furong pulled the sword out of Ji Anni's shoulder, the blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the right side of Ji Anni's body red.

Due to excessive bleeding, Ji Anni no longer had the strength to stand and her body fell limply against the wall.

A lot of blood was splashed on Shui Furong's face and body, and her pupils became as small as a needle tip. She sat on the ground blankly, holding the blood-stained peach wood sword in her hand tightly, staring straight at Ji Anni, who was curled up on the ground not far ahead and trembling constantly.

The peach wood sword originally glowed with golden light, but after being stained with blood, the golden light was obscured by the blood and turned into a hazy dark red light like wine, which seemed even more mysterious.

At the same time, Taoist Yuan Rong, who was far away in the Xianke Pavilion, suddenly opened his eyes.

At the moment Shui Furong swung her sword at Ji Anni, Taoist Yuan Rong woke up from his dream.

After the peach wood sword was stained with blood, Taoist Yuan Rong was even more certain that his magic weapon was stained with demon blood.

He got out of bed, rushed out of the door, and rushed to the Demon-Suppressing Temple where the peach wood sword was.

#

In the Demon-Suppressing Temple, Shui Furong finally calmed down, held onto the wall, and slowly stood up from the ground.

Ji Anni was still curled up on the ground, her body shaking. At this time, the fox tail behind her had disappeared, and the white light from her pupils also disappeared, leaving only two small triangular ears.

Seeing that she was seriously injured and no longer had any attack power, Shui Furong bravely approached her.

"Concubine Zhao Congfei... Concubine Zhao Congfei..." Shui Furong called Ji Anni softly, but got no response.

"Concubine Zhao..." Shui Furong squatted down beside Ji Anni and gently pushed her back.

At this moment, Ji Anni uttered a low groan of pain, and like a mollusk, her body curled up sensitively.

From the low moaning sound, it can be heard that it is no longer the whimper of an animal, but the voice of a human.

Seeing Ji Anni back to normal, Shui Furong hurriedly helped her up and asked, "Zhao Congfei, are you okay?"

Ji Anni leaned weakly in Shui Furong's arms, not yet regaining consciousness, and only instinctively groaned in pain. She held her bleeding shoulder tightly with one hand, and subconsciously held Shui Furong with the other.

Although she couldn't say a word, this action was asking Shui Furong for help.

Shui Furong raised her head and looked around, but saw nothing but desolation.

Since she couldn't find anyone to help her, she had to rely on herself. Shui Furong tore off a piece of her skirt and simply bandaged Ji Anni's wound. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, just a superficial injury, and it stopped bleeding after being bandaged. She didn't know why she was bleeding so much just now, and Shui Furong thought she had accidentally injured a vital part.

"Concubine Zhao, let's leave here first." Shui Furong helped Ji Anni up, and the two of them limped out.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. If Ji Anni turns into a fox demon again, Shui Furong will not be able to handle it.

Ji Anni was almost in a semi-comatose state. She couldn't open her eyes and had forgotten where she was. She just leaned weakly on Shui Furong's shoulder, allowing her to half-support and half-carry her to drag her out.

They left the Demon-Suppressing Temple and walked along the bamboo forest back to the road. This place is quite far from both the Dong Congfei Palace and the Imperial Hospital. In Ji Anni's current state, she probably can't make it to her destination. Shui Furong suddenly had an idea and remembered that this place is very close to the Xian Palace. It would be better to help Ji Anni to Yu Guifei first, let her rest for a while, and then return to the Dong Congfei Palace after her strength is restored.

Thinking of this, Shui Furong took Ji Anni towards Xian Palace.

Not long after they left, Yuan Rong arrived at the scene, followed closely by more than a dozen guards.

These guards were on night patrol. When they saw Taoist Yuan Rong running hurriedly, they stopped him to ask about the situation. After learning that there were monsters active in the palace, they followed Taoist Yuan Rong to the Monster Temple.

At this time, there was no one left in the Demon-Suppressing Temple, only a pool of blood and a peach wood sword were left.

Taoist Yuan Rong recognized at a glance that the peach wood sword was the one he had given to Shui Furong. He walked over to pick up the sword and felt the blood on the blade. Blood can be used to roughly estimate the spiritual power and type of the monster. He only needed to sniff it gently to immediately identify that it was the blood of a fox demon.

"What a powerful demonic power..." Yuan Rong murmured in a deep voice. He hadn't encountered such a powerful demonic beast for a long time.

Normally, the blood of a monster would be purified by the white light when it splashed on a peach wood sword. However, after the blood of this monster splashed on the peach wood sword, it dyed the white light of the peach wood sword red. This is truly rare in the world.

Yuan Rong held the sword in his hand and whispered a few spells, and the lightsaber shrank to its original toothpick shape.

Shui Furong helped Ji Anni to Concubine Yu's Qingle Palace.

It was late at night and the Imperial Concubine Yu was sleeping soundly. Even if Shui Furong screamed at the top of her lungs, she was afraid that the door would not be opened. So Shui Furong did not scream at all, but took out a thin knife. Before she set out for the Demon Temple, Shui Furong was afraid that Ji Anni would not open the door for her, so she brought this knife with her, but she did not expect it to come in handy at this time.

The palace had always been very peaceful, and the reliance on guards was far greater than on anti-theft facilities, so Shui Furong had no trouble in pushing open the bolt in just two or three moves.

There are many rooms in Qingle Palace, and most of them are empty. Shui Furong is also a frequent visitor to Qingle Palace and is very familiar with the layout of the rooms. She first helped Ji Anni to a clean empty room to rest, and then went to find Concubine Yu to explain the situation.
