Chapter 207 - 207: 156: The Goddess Descends 2
“Master Su? Please come in!”
A gentle voice sounded from inside. Master Su pushed open the door and entered. She refrained from using her spiritual sense to arbitrarily probe around due to don’t want to see the family that has been passed down for nearly eight hundred years to be obliterated due to such a trivial gesture under her watch.
“Young Master Feng, it is due to my poor management that disturbed your rest.
I sincerely apologize!”
As soon as she entered the courtyard, the Su family master saw three scaredy-cat large foxes, curled up in the corner of the courtyard, shivering in fear. Seeing the floating fragments of the torn veil on the ground, she guessed what had happened and immediately apologized to Feng Qing’an.
“I am fine. However, these three seem to have had quite a scare. I suggest the Master Su take a look at them first!”
Feng Qing’an looked at the hastily arriving Master Su. The ice-blue phoenix that had just flown out of his body had only let out a cry, forcing these three not-so-weak fox demons to revert to their original forms. The fox woman who had embraced him looked even more miserable, with a good part of her demon qi seemingly having been destroyed, leaving her half-dead.
“They were too presumptuous and ended up in such a situation. They are merely getting the penalty they deserve. I hope you keep this in mind, young Master!”
Su Li didn’t even glance at the three fools in the corner, instead looking at Feng Qing’an, who was leisurely tasting the Spirit Fruit. She needed to understand this young man’s attitude now. If he was unsatisfied with what had just happened, she might have had to plan for the migration of her family.
“Why should I mind such a beautiful event? It is just not appropriate at the moment. Master, you might as well take these three to get their wounds tended to, don’t waste time. I am satisfied with the hospitality arranged by Master Su!”
Feng Qing’an laughed. He could naturally sense whether these three fox women had any malicious intents or not. They only seemed to innocently wish to warm his bed for him, and had no other ill-intents, otherwise they wouldn’t be huddled up in the corner shivering.
“As long as you’re satisfied!”
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief. Volunteering to warm someone’s bed isn’t something she would plan as a family leader — that would be too despicable. However, she was aware of such things and turned a blind eye.
She wanted to test this young man, to probe his strength. After all, there were some foolish old foxes in her clan who wanted to push their granddaughters onto him.
Therefore, she turned a blind eye, calmly watching what was happening. But she never anticipated what would happen next: the youth actually wore the Locking Yang Secret Seal. She now had some understanding of the youth’s strength and that was enough. She didn’t want, nor had the right, to continue to investigate further.
“Then I shall take my leave with these three, useless creatures. Once their injuries heal, I will bring them to apologize to you in person!”
“There’s no need for an apology. They have done nothing wrong. Let them rest and recover!”
Although he merely had a feast for his eyes and a slight encounter, Feng Qing’an was already satisfied. After all, he had already experienced their presence. As for blaming or condemning them — that was really not necessary. “You are indeed kind-hearted, young Master!”
Seeing Feng Qing’an’s attitude. Su Li comnletely relaxed. She no longer needed
to think about relocating. This young man truly appeared to be nothing more than a young boy. How could he possibly resist the temptations of a woman who had willingly thrown herself into his arms? It only happened due to the secret seal he bore. Otherwise, they would have already ended up entangled with each other.
“By the way, I have a question for Master Su.”
Just as the giant demon was about to leave with the three large foxes, Feng Qing’an suddenly called out to stop her.
“Please, ask, young Master.”
The giant demon, who had already levitated the three large foxes with her demon qi, looked back at the young man. Even her casual actions radiated seductive charm, stirring people’s blood.
“What kind of status and roles do these three have within your Su family?”
Feng Qing’an asked curiously. The three foxes transformed into fox ladies. In his eyes, they only had one image, indicating that this was their true flesh and blood form. With such divine power, their status in the Su family couldn’t be low, could it?
“To let the young master know, these three are all elders of my Su family!”
The Master of the Su Family answered.
“Elder?”
Feng Qing’an was stunned for a moment, and then quickly asked,
“How old are they now?”
“The youngest is this Seventh Elder, who has lived through three Jiazi years!”
The Su Family Master pointed to the fox demon who was the most severely damaged and had already fainted, and introduced her.
“Three Jiazi?!”
Feng Qing’an immediately fell silent. One hundred and eighty years is a considerable time even for mortals. For this fox demon from the mountains, however, it was merely a small part of her life. “This one is the Third Elder, the oldest, fast approaching five Jiazi…” “Alright, Master Su, you take them for healing!”
Feng Qing’an no longer wanted to inquire about these foxes’ ages. It was surprising to realize that these seemingly full-of-life fox girls could actually be so old.
Lives that are measured in terms of Jiazi seemed quite unusual for these creatures, but given their extremely long lifespan, their experiences must have been quite extraordinary.
These mature foxes with rich experience, Feng Qing’an still found hard to accept, politely declining any further involvement.
The times that Eastern Radiance and Southern Song have gone through are undoubtedly lengthy, possibly immeasurable by millenniums. Yet, during such extended periods, they mostly remained dormant. Even if they count the times they active in cultivation, they probably did not have as much as these foxes.
“I will excuse myself for now, and will later instruct Little Wan to attend to you!”
“Let her rest. She’s just spent the day accompanying me, and must be quite tired.”
The noise in the Great Demon Mansion eventually died down, but the news had been widely spread among countless mountains. It caught the attention of some who received the invitation but did not initially plan to attend, prompting them to their journey towards the Fox Demon Mansion. The next day, as Feng Qing’an once again strolled through the mountain mansion, he received unprecedented respect. Those who are a bit informed about the news looked at him with awe in their eyes.
No matter where he went, he was the centre of attention. The taste of this reminded Feng Qing’an of the scene when he participated in the county examinations. At first, he found it amusing. But as it went on, he found it annoying to the point of losing interest in wandering around.
While Feng Qing’an preferred to stay at home all the time, it didn’t mean that no one would visit him. However, considering the speculations about his origins, anyone with the guts to visit him was undoubtedly remarkable.
In just two days, Feng Qing’an had received visits from several major demons. One of them was even the Master of Autumnhowl Cave, which was a relative of the Su Family by marriage and another significant fox demon. He was not supposed to appear at this time, but after hearing about Feng Qing’an, he left aside minor etiquette and paid a visit.
Demon royalty frequently visited, but Feng Qing’an did not show nerves. These were only notable demons. Not only had he personally beaten them, but he was also not afraid of even more potent demon kings.
His calmness and composure reinforced the rumours that he came from a renowned cultivation family. As a result, the number and strength of the demons flocking to the Su Family far exceeded their expectations, with many of them arriving uninvited.
Although this situation took the Su Family by surprise, they were pleased, doing their best to accommodate everyone. Still, as an especially distinguished entity arrived, the atmosphere that had been steadily building up in the Su Family was utterly ignited.
The Mountain god of the Wuling Mountain had personally arrived!
She was a young girl, straddling a Red Leopard and blending seamlessly into the energy of all life within the mountains. As she appeared, the Su Family Master personally came out to greet her. All demons present also came out to welcome her, none of them remained seated..
