Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything - Chapter 184
Chapter 184 The Spiritual Bird’s Sorrow
As Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Power dissipated, the blood bats disappeared. Nascent Soul swooped into the tent. Who would have thought that the father who loved his daughter so much would now turn against his daughter? The soldiers cowered out of the tent. Nascent Soul had forgotten what had just happened. He didn’t know that Grandmaster was behind all this. There was a terrible silence in the tent. The soldiers had never seen such a heartless old leader.
“Give me the map of Xiantao Town.” If the spy’s message was true, the fairy army was only a few dozen kilometers away from Nascent Soul. He hated Xiao Qi and wanted to kill him.
…
In the Fairy City
Xiao Qi was so busy with political affairs that he stayed up late into the night for the last few days. Yu Xuanji boiled the refreshing soup. It was the secret recipe of Baize, which had a strong refreshing effect.
Xiao Qi felt warm to have steaming soup in the cold night. The soup cooked by the cold women on weekdays was delicious. He drank two bowls. Yu Xuanji then made hot tea. Tender leaves spread in the boiling water, tea fragrance coming out of the light yellow soup.
“Chidi won’t let the Fairy Kingdom off.” Yu Xuanji was worried. She had expected this from the moment she betrayed Chidi.
“Nascent Soul holds a grudge. This war will happen sooner or later.”
“The Fairy Kingdom is doomed.” The strength of the Fairy Kingdom was far from that of triple alliance.
“Not necessarily… Come with me to a place.” Xiao Qi thought of a man. Then they flew to the sky rushed to the sky toward the valley. Yu Xuanji was confused.
“Our destination lies ahead.” Xiao Qi swooshed towards a cliff. “Who built buildings on the cliff?” Yu Xuanji followed. He opened the mechanism and rolled into the yard. The soldiers came up as they heard the noise.
“Mr. Xiao…” Yu Xuanji was startled to know that this was Hongjun’s lair. The soldiers hurried to report. She looked around, noticed the precision of the yard, and realized that the owner got a good taste.
“Mr. Hongjun invites you in.” The soldier’s tone of voice was flattery, and they respected Xiao Qi. Then they walked toward the hall. Yu Xuanji followed Xiao Qi closely. Seeing Xiao Qi, the eyes of the man sitting at the head lit up. “Is this Mr. Hongjun?” Yu Xuanji looked at the man carefully.
“There you are…” Hongjun had a deep voice.
“How are you, sir?” Xiao Qi walked over to him. Hongjun stretched and felt sore. He stroked his chest. His injuries never got better after he was wounded by the woman. Xiao Qi took some elixirs out of the void and waited on him. Their harmonious picture made Yu Xuanji uncomfortable.
“Qi…” the woman called in a spoiled voice. Hongjun looked at her coldly and thought, “Where’s the woman from? She’s not fit to be here.” He waved his spiritual finger to attack her. The women wanted to stop the attack, but couldn’t resist the strong Spiritual Power. Roger was even more displeased and put on a little more Spiritual Power. Suddenly a gash appeared on Yu Xuanji’s cheek. She screamed. The appearance was very important for women.
“Qi, is she your woman?” Hongjun spread his Essential Qi out and oppressed the woman.
“She’s just a pawn.” Xiao Qi’s breezy tone made Yu Xuanji’s heart bleed. She thought she could impress the man, but now she knew she was only a pawn.
“Really?” Hongjun flung his arm. His Essential Qi shook the woman to fly. Xiao Qi knew that pleading for the woman would only hasten her death. Hongjun stared at Xiao Qi for clues. Xiao Qi certainly didn’t let him find out. He came here to get help. He set out to take advantage. A little impatience spoils great plans.
“Never mind the woman.” Xiao Qi brushed Hongjun’s back. The man relaxed. The hall rang with the man’s voice. The woman’s heart throbbed. It turned out that Xiao Qi and Hongjun were a couple.
“You’re an eyesore.” Hongjun pointed out that the woman fell down again. The soldiers rushed up to her. Yu Xuanji gathered her Spiritual Power to attack. After several rounds, the soldiers were defeated. Hongjun shot at her. Yu Xuanji could not resist, spat blood, and fell to the ground. Hongjun attacked her again. The blow was so powerful that the woman could be killed if she was hit. No matter how tough Xiao Qi was, he didn’t want her to die. The Essential Qi was stopped by Xiao Qi.
“You don’t have to do it yourself.” Xiao Qi launched a punch. Yu Xuanji’s tears could not be stopped as the river burst its banks. The woman looked at the man in despair. The blood stained her dress red. She once thought that sincerity could move men. It turned out that the man had no heart at all. The wind was blowing and the woman was ashen.
“It’s neat. I was right about you.” Hongjun held the man’s hand, his eyes eager.
“If the triple alliance attacks the Fairy Kingdom, please help me.”
Xiao Qi pounced, but his eyes were fixed on the fainting woman. If he hadn’t stopped Hongjun, Yu Xuanji would have been dead.
“What are you thinking?” Hongjun bit the corner of the man’s lip. Xiao Qi wanted to hide, but it was too late.
“Who can win the war, the mixed vital army or the triple alliance?”
“My mixed vital army, of course.” Xiao Qi’s mouth began to bleed. Hongjun was even more sexually aroused. The soldier picked up the fainting woman and hurried away. There were panting sounds from the hall. Hongjun got on top of him. When all was quiet again, the man looked at Hongjun, with his eyes deep as a pool. Hongjun’s eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth lifted. Xiao Qi got off the couch, clasped his hands and vowed to get even with Hongjun.
“This is the military talisman.” Hongjun’s hand waved and an object fell into Xiao Qi’s hands. Xiao Qi clutched the military talisman. With this treasure, the mixed vital army was his.
“Thank you.” Xiao Qi turned away. He had to save Yu Xuanji. If she did not unseal the vein in time, the woman would surely die. Xiao Qi couldn’t bear to let the woman, who was willing to give up her life for him, die.
Hongjun felt tired in fits and starts. He was in high spirits, but he couldn’t keep his eyes open. Before he knew it, he fainted away. Xiao Qi put the knockout powder into the void and ran out of the hall. Of course the soldier did not dare to stop him.
He had to find Yu Xuanji. With Hongjun’s military talisman, getting into prison to look for someone was easy. When the iron door opened, Xiao Qi was shocked. A spiritual bird lay on a haystack, her white feathers dyed with blood. The woman could not turn a human being because she lost too much blood.
“You are such a silly woman. What’s good about me?” The spiritual bird slowly opened her eyes, which were pure blue.
Xiao Qi gave the bird Spiritual Power. When the bird came back to life, he flew out of prison. The spiritual bird chattered, and Xiao Qi wished she were Yu Xuanji.
With the military talisman, Xiao Qi dispatched a mixed vital army of 100,000 soldiers. When they got to the Taoxian Town, it was daylight. Xiao Nai didn’t expect the King of fairy to bring reinforcements. The fairy’s morale was high. The news from the spy worried Xiao Nai, but he didn’t think Xiao Qi had plans.
“Where’s Nascent Soul?” Xiao Qi regretted not killing Nascent Soul before. Now he had to watch out for the “wolf” who might bite others at any time. He scattered the Spiritual Power. The deployment map was clearly visible. Xiao Qi flicked his spiritual finger and embedded the map on the wall. In order to see clearly, Xiao Nai changed the map into a matching wall. The black side was the fire tribe army; the white side was the triple alliance forces; the red side was the fairy army. Xiao Nai pointed out to Xiao Qi the location of the black side and the white side, just across the mountains from the red side. The question now was how to draw the attention of the black and white sides. Only when the two sides dispersed their forces can the red side have a chance to breathe. The battle was imminent. They were only 10 kilometers from Taoxian Town. Xiao Nai looked at the map and had an idea.
“The enemy wants to besiege us. We can reverse the siege. With the mixed vital army’s help, the fairy army has a chance to win.” Xiao Qi listened and secretly agreed. Xiao Nai was not a rough man, and his daily carelessness was all false.
“You can be a general.” Xiao Qi wanted Xiao Nai’s ideas. Now they had reinforcements, but they were weaker than the triple alliance. It wouldn’t be easy for them to win, but Xiao Qi would try.
“We must not act rashly until the enemy knows our strength. Taoxian Town’s narrow terrain is both our disadvantage and advantage. Only when our forces are properly deployed can we have a good chance of victory. Divide the fairy army into several groups. Let the fire tribe and triple alliance spread out. We’re good at fighting in the mountains. Spread out the troops at the main points. Disperse the army. The louder the better. Let the fire tribe know our fairy army is formidable.”
“Do as you said. To gather the fairy force first. No mistakes! Don’t expose yourselves. Whosoever dares to violate the order will be killed.”
The sound echoed through the tent. The morale of a tiger was found in a severely governed army. Xiao Nai understood this, and so did Xiao Qi. In fact, the scout of eight years old to the old man of nineties knew this too.
“In order to guarantee safety, I will take two groups of soldiers to ambush in the path where the triple alliance army will pass by.”
“Your Majesty, the front line is not safe. Please follow the army so that you can be taken care of.”
“The strong army is pressing hard at the border. It won’t work without a risky move. If the war starts, we must beat the enemy and make them afraid of us so that we can have the chance to take a breath.”
Xiao Nai didn’t want Xiao Qi to take the risk. There could be without anyone in the Fairy Kingdom, expect the great talent of Xiao Qi. Xiao Nai betrayed Jiang Wuyou because he liked Xiao Qi’s ambition.
Outside the camp, the fairy army was gathered. Xiao Nai led the main force to hide in the forest while Xiao Qi led ten thousand soldiers to head to the fire tribe. And the rest were divided into 10 small teams and arranged on the fortress where the triple alliance army was bound to pass. Xiao Qi had conjured spells on all the high-ranking military officers so that they could escape in an emergency.
The army marched toward the fire tribe. The soldiers trotted off in a hurry. It was expedient to march in battle. These were well-trained fairy soldiers. They were swift and orderly. Rapid marches were more physically demanding. Not daring to neglect, the soldiers had to arrive an hour early to intercept the triple alliance army. The fairy army was not weak, but the force of the triple alliance should not be underestimated. Xiao Qi wanted to win. He wanted the Fairy Kingdom to last forever. The army reached the western front in only one hour. The army of 100,000 men must be properly organized. Xiao Qi found a secluded spot to camp out.
Every 25 kilometers from the fairy, there were temporary camps of the triple alliance. Xiao Qi deployed his forces. The soldiers led the men away. The battle of the fairy today was a matter of life and death. Xiao Qi couldn’t be careless. Xiao Nai proceeded with caution. There were always unexpected problems when he marched and fought. Xiao Qi worked it out several times in a row.
Sue was busy treating Emma. Nascent Soul wanted to kill his daughter and escalated the conflict between father and daughter. Sue stayed up all night, hoping to wake up early. Who would have thought Nascent Soul could be so vicious. The woman’s face paled and her pulse was weak. The sky rolled from the bones, the light gathers, When the blue popped out, Wuyou condensed the blue light. The crystal spinel floated and rotated. It was the God Farmer Technique of the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book, the thing that Shennong condensed quintessence of the spiritual grass. The spiritual grass had grown for tens of millions of years, enjoying the same life span as the sun and the moon. It was the spirit born at the beginning of the Chaos, which could solve all kinds of poisons. Wuyou opened Madam Yu’s veins, and Flowing Light surged out of her fingers. When the blue spinel opened, floating herb spirits frisked. When Wuyou unsealed the essence spirit, tens of thousands of spirit ran into Madam Yu’s body. Those restless spirits gamboled in General Yu’s body. Don’t look down upon the spirits. They were able to clean away Madam Yu’s toxin. Even though Su Chenyang had witnessed the miracle power of the Heavenly Book, he was still convinced by it again. How was there such a formidable power to clean marrow and bones?
“The poison has been cleared out.” Wuyou dispersed her Spiritual Power, and then the spinel returned to her eyebrow bones. The blue color thinned out. Pangu Spirit also drilled into Wuyou’s body. Su Chenyang was unwilling to leave. Even if the poison had been removed, Phoenix still looked pale, and her mouth excoriated with blood. Su Chenyang helped to wipe it.
