Chapter 1686: Feng Lianqing’s Sadness III
The red fox stepped forward and shook its head, indicating that it did not know her.
“You know me!” Feng Ruqing raised her hand and dragged the fox into her arms. “But all the spirit beasts I know are already contracted with me, and you’re… Luo Li’s husband?”
The red fox’s eyes flashed in panic as it looked at the powerful Nan family behind it.
The look in its eyes had completely exposed it.
The Luo family of Tian Shen Manor had a red fox raised by Luo Li as her husband. The red fox had come out to save Luo Li on the day of the great disaster of Tian Shen Manor and had suffered many injuries.
However, the red fox back then was not as powerful as it was now; that was why Feng Ruqing did not recognize it in the beginning.
She was only teasing this fox just now. People said foxes were smart and cunning, but this fox was so naive.
When she was in Tian Shen Manor, she had helped Luo Li heal the red fox. However, the time they spent together was too short, so she did not correctly remember this fox’s scent.
“I don’t know you. You’ve mistaken me for another fox,” the red fox said slowly.
“So you can speak like a human? Where’s Luo Li? Why did you come to Land of No Return alone? And how did you become so strong?” Feng Ruqing asked, ignoring the red fox’s denial.
The red fox stiffened, a little annoyed. “I told you I don’t know you. If you don’t want any trouble, let me go!”
“Oh…”
Feng Ruqing smiled at the group of people that walked toward her. “I’ve got my eye on this fox, so you all go back to your place.”
A yellow-robed old man stopped in front of her. He felt a bit furious after hearing Feng Ruqing’s words.
“Young Lady, all the spirit beasts in the world belong to the Nan family. Do you want to rob others of their belongings forcefully?”
Feng Ruqing laughed. “But my girl loves this male fox. She will cry if she knows you’ve taken her fox. So, I cannot give it to you…”
The red fox stiffened. ‘This woman… Do you still not understand?
‘How will I face Luo Li in the future if something happened to this woman?’
“Huh!” The old man snorted coldly. “Then, you’ll become the Nan family’s enemy!”
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Feng Ruqing.
This voice was familiar to the people of the Nan family. All of them stiffened and looked in the direction of the voice…
“Since my granddaughter likes this fox, you people of the Nan family should give it to her.”
The yellow-robed old man’s face sank as he looked at the old man in the red-robed with hatred on his face. “Tian Ya, it’s you again! Why do we meet you everywhere we go?”
Tian Ya laughed. “That’s just a misfortune for your Nan family. My granddaughter wants this fox. I’ll spare your life if you leave immediately. Go back and tell that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Nan, he doesn’t need to keep sending people to chase me. I’ll go to look for him myself later! And…”
He paused and continued, “Tell him to clean his neck and wait for me!”
The others from the Nan family were filled with anger after hearing Tian Ya’s words. They tried to make a move, but the yellow-robed old man brought his hand up to stop them.
“We’ll let this fox go for now. Let’s go!”
