Chapter 114: She is the Netherqueen?
The Netherkin who had just finished the battle at the Ascending Immortality Lake were still immersed in their joy.
They had not noticed the abnormality in the green-dressed girl at first.
"Unexpected events happened tonight. I thought our plan would be difficult to execute— But now that the Netherqueen is finally unsealed, I can finally rest easy— Tsk tsk, that Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower is truly unpredictable in her methods."
"Not only that, but it's even rarer for her to keep her promise to us Netherkin. She truly deserves to be the one the Netherqueen chose for help!"
"Exactly, now that the Netherqueen is free, we don't have to tolerate that old bastard in the Netherkin Nation anymore—- When the Netherqueen returns to power and regains control of the Netherkin Nation, we must pull that usurper from the throne!"
The powerful Netherkin were rubbing their hands together, their faces filled with excitement.
Among them, a Bird Netherkin with two pairs of wings on its back adjusted its ruffled feathers, and its bean-sized eyes suddenly lit up as it was the first to notice the green-dressed girl among the crowd. It promptly closed its wings.
"Ah? Xiao Guai, you're back already? Why are you just standing there? Don't you want to release the Netherqueen first?" the Bird Netherkin said.
His words made all the Netherkin present turn their gazes towards the green-dressed girl, their eyes filled with eagerness, even the Nascent Soul-stage ape demon was the same.
However, under their gaze, the green-dressed girl opened her mouth but didn't know where to start.
The other Netherkin immediately began to speculate.
"Hmm... The Netherqueen has just broken free, and her cultivation is not restored. She should still be in a deep slumber— You idiot, aren't you afraid of disturbing her rest?"
The Deer Netherkin with antlers on its head believed that it had seen through the truth, so it scolded the Bird Netherkin with a laugh before turning to the green-dressed girl. "Xiao Guai, you have contributed greatly to tonight operation, you also have carefully treated our lady all these years, you would sure—"
"—It wasn't me."
The little girl's sudden words interrupted the Deer Netherkin.
The Netherkin were all stunned, not understanding the meaning of what she said.
"Someone else rescued Elder Sister, not me— I didn't even see a trace of that Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower. I returned because you stirred up the other Immortal Nation Tribulation Crossing powerhouse…"
After her words, silence fell upon the platform.
All of the Netherkin looked at each other.
...
Outside the Ascending Immortality Lake, at the edge of a dense forest.
With a mystical radiance, Luo Wusheng's figure appeared under a tree's shade.
There was still a trace of bewilderment on his face.
Logically speaking, although the process was a bit complicated, he should not have such an expression after accomplishing his original goal.
However...
As he probed his spiritual awareness into the tiny storage pouch given by Yue Xuanji, he saw the sleeping furry creature inside and fell into confusion.
'This..?'
His memory went back to the moment when he fully activated the small storage pouch.
At that moment, many things flew out of the storage pouch.
A formation plate flew out first, and after Luo Wusheng infused it with his spiritual energy, it began to produce ripples and resonated with the sealing formation.
Four small flags were unfolded, each bearing four characters that emitted a faint blue light, causing the altar to tremble.
Seven spirit jades fell at seven weak points in the formation, and under the traction of spiritual energy, terrifying energy gathered.
Immediately, the entire bottom of the lake collapsed, and the light pillar caused by the broken formation shot into the sky.
However, there were more things flying out of the storage pouch.
In the golden light, Luo Wusheng saw a familiar figure flying out of the storage pouch.
Adorned in a light red veil and carrying a seven-stringed ancient Guqin— Even the thing that are embedded at the corner of that Guqin was clearly the crescent-shaped Star-Moon jade he he had given a few days prior!
As for who is the figure flying out of the storage pouch? Who else could it be but the "Courtesan" Yao Ji?
Luo Wusheng never expected that the girl he had failed to find yesterday would appear in front of him in this form at this moment.
The "courtesan" had her eyes closed, with no aura fluctuations on her body, but her life energy became even more intense, to the point where Luo Wusheng was amazed.
However, before he could react, the girl began to gradually blur within the pillar of light.
The next moment, a light red light sphere flew out from under the sunken altar.
The sphere landed in front of the blurry Yao Ji, as if taking a light breath.
Under this gentle breath, the blurry Yao Ji merged with the light sphere, making its light even brighter.
After completing all this, the light sphere seemed to notice Luo Wusheng.
He clearly felt that the light sphere emitted an even more puzzled emotion than himself when it saw him.
However, the other party seemed to be in a bad state. After a moment of daze, it didn't care about anything else and directly nestled on the Guqin, then burrowed into Yue Xuanji's storage pouch.
It was only then that Luo Wusheng saw the true appearance of the person under the red light.
It was a small fox with a tiny body, its fur a blend of pink and pure white, and three red dots at its brow...
A little fox?
The hand holding the storage pouch shook.
Before he could gather his thoughts, he saw a jade slip that had flown out of the small storage pouch earlier suddenly emit a faint light.
It released a familiar fluctuation...
It was the transmission method Yue Xuanji had used to bring him to the bottom of the lake!
Feeling like something had entered his body, Luo Wusheng once again experienced the feeling of spatial shifting.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a different location.
'So, Yao Ji has no relation with the Empress of the Immortal Nation? The one she's involved with is the Netherqueen?'
Looking at the small fox sleeping on the Guqin in the storage pouch, Luo Wusheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
According to the original story, the Origin Form of the Netherqueen, and all of her ancestors, was all the Nine-Tailed Fox.
However, the specific reasons for this had not been revealed in the plot, Luo Wusheng had a hunch that it's simply something that the author randomly added just so Lu Yuliu can have a fluffy kitsune that she can pet all of the time on her harem.
Well, that's not the point right now.
'Although this little one has only one big tail, different from the nine big pink tails that are described in the original work when the Netherqueen first appeared— but undoubtedly, the suppressed Netherkin in the Ascending Immortality Lake can only be the Netherqueen...'
The current cute state of the other party is probably due to just breaking free from the restraining formation and still being in a weak state.
Luo Wusheng recalled the moment when the little fox had just transformed from a light ball. The other party seemed puzzled when it saw him, but without any resistance, it voluntarily entered Yue Xuanji's storage pouch.
...This should have been planned by the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower a long time ago. After the little fox entered the storage pouch, the small storage pouch was enveloped in mysterious power, cutting off all traces of little fox aura and presence.
Unless someone's spiritual awareness probed inside, there would be no way to sense anything inside the storage pouch from the outside.
'At first, it flew out and skillfully merged with Yao Ji's body. This means this little fox was prepared for such a development and must have made a deal with Yue Xuanji...'
And the confusion the little fox showed upon seeing him probably meant that she hadn't anticipated that he, The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, would be the one to unseal it.
But even with this unexpected change, the other party's reaction was just surprise and doubt.
After carefully sensing the aura of the little fox inside the storage pouch...
Luo Wusheng exhaled a breath.
He couldn't be mistaken; this little pink fox was indeed Yao Ji.
Or rather, Yao Ji is the real name of the Nine-Tailed Fox Netherkin, who is the Netherkin Nation previous Monarch, also known by her alias, the Netherqueen!
