Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 339: Pei Yan is the man behind Fuxing City
"..." Yi Changle said unhappily: "Kaitian, although our Nine-tailed Fox Clan is not rich enough to build houses with gold, we are not so poor that we have to sell night-shining pearls."

Yi Changle's words were considered low-key. In fact, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan had its own simple and unpretentious folk customs.

In Qingqiu, if you ask any fox on the street what is the most important thing, without exception, all the foxes will give the same answer - face.

"As long as the face is there, the country is there." This joke is fully reflected in the foxes of Qingqiu and is regarded as the life purpose of foxes.

It’s because the foxes in Qingqiu don’t like jewelry. They all agree that the highlight of the body should be their face, and only their face.

If one were to wear some shiny jewelry, it would be superfluous and would steal the limelight from one's appearance. Therefore, even if there was a pool of luminous pearls in the back mountain of Qingqiu, no fox would go to get them.

"But can't the Night Pearl still illuminate?" Kaitian suggested, "It's also good to use the Night Pearl to illuminate the night road without wearing it on your body."

"They..." Yi Changle felt a little ashamed and lowered his voice, "They think their beauty can glow, so they don't need the Night Pearl."

"Ah?" Kaitian suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Don't worry about the ethnic characteristics." Yi Changle straightened his back, "You just need to know that we Qingqiu foxes regard money as dirt. Even if there is gold on the ground, we are too lazy to bend down to pick it up!"

"Shit?" Kaitian looked at Yi Changle suspiciously, and complained in his heart: But I see that you seem to like this shit quite a lot.

Yi Changle naturally did not hear Kaitian's complaints. He winked at Hongmeng Purple Qi and sat aside quietly.

"Kaitian, listen to me." Receiving the gaze of Yi Changle, Hongmeng Ziqi's expression suddenly became extremely serious. "You think very well, but next time, please don't think about it again."

Kaitian heard the weird tone of Hongmeng Purple Qi and couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Then tell me how these monsters in Fuxing City got their fates."

Hearing this, Hongmeng Ziqi stood up pretentiously, took two steps to the empty front, and coughed twice pretentiously. After getting into the right posture, he waved his sleeves and spoke slowly: "The Night Pearl and the Fate Book should be viewed separately. The connection between the two is not close. If there is any connection between them, it must be something that does not belong to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan or the Underworld... Someone connected them together."

"Someone?" These words from Hongmeng Ziqi left Kaitian confused. "Who?"

"Wait." Kaitian's mind suddenly became clear, "Could this person be from the Celestial Clan?"

Kaitian glanced at Yi Changle and analyzed, "Yi Changle was engaged to Pei Enze from the Celestial Clan before. The engagement between the young patriarch of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and the crown prince of the Celestial Clan is a major event that shook the entire Three Realms, so the etiquette should be very complete. I guess the night-shining pearl you saw on the way to the gold mine should have been on the gift list that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan gave to the Celestial Clan."

"As for the Fate Book, the Underworld follows the orders of the Heavenly Clan. It is not difficult for the Heavenly Clan to obtain the Fate Book."

Hongmeng Ziqi nodded and commented: "This time the thinking is not bad."

“But the fate is not only in the underworld, don’t forget, the God of Destiny also has it.” Kaitian paused, and then said: “The most important thing is that the God of Destiny is in the Celestial Clan. If the person behind Fuxing City is from the Celestial Clan, then why would he go to the underworld to seek the fate book?”

"It can't be Sima Ming." Hongmeng Ziqi looked certain.

"Impossible? How can you be so sure that it's not Siming?" Kaitian looked at the Hongmeng purple air suspiciously and asked, "Are you familiar with Siming?"

"Hmm... I guess so." Hongmeng Ziqi lowered his head slightly and confessed, "Actually, there is one thing I haven't had the chance to tell you... Siming has always obeyed my orders."

"So, Siming is your undercover agent in the Celestial Clan?"

"You can say that." Hongmeng Ziqi felt a little guilty. She must keep the fact that she used Siming to disrupt the marriage of Yi Changle and Pei Enze a secret forever.

"Whenever there is something happening in the Celestial Clan, Siming will report it to me, so it definitely cannot be her."

"If it's not Sima Ming, then it must be the underworld." Kaitian frowned, "But since the person behind the scenes is from the Celestial Clan, why would he go to the underworld to deal with the fate book when there is Sima Ming?"

"Unless the person behind the scenes doesn't want Siming to know what he did." Yi Changle gave the answer, "Hongmeng Ziqi, since you know Siming, do you know who Siming has had a feud with?"

"Someone who has a grudge against Siming..." Hongmeng Ziqi thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Siming has a special status, so she has always been careful in the Celestial Clan. I have never heard her say that... Wait, maybe we are not looking for someone who has a grudge against Siming, but someone who knows that Siming has a master and cannot be bribed by us."

Kaitian was quite surprised, "Does anyone in the Celestial Clan know that you are Siming's master?"

"It's not me, it's her other master."

"You guys are also involved in Mission Impossible? Then who is her other master?"

"Pei Enze."

Hearing this name, Yi Changle raised his eyebrows at Hongmeng Ziqi, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Between you and Pei Enze, who is the oriole?"

"Of course it's me." Hongmeng Ziqi was somewhat helpless, "You know that in this world, no one knows of my existence except you."

"Si Ming once told me that over the years, Pei Enze has been secretly cultivating his own forces in the Celestial Clan, and Siming is one of them. So if someone in the Celestial Clan borrows the Fate Book, Pei Enze will also know it besides Siming. And the person behind the scenes of Fuxing City obviously doesn't want Pei Enze to know about Fuxing City." When Hongmeng Ziqi said this, the answer was already obvious.

"It's Pei Yan." After the name came out, Yi Changle's face became more serious. "In fact, when I recognized that the Night Pearl came from Qingqiu, I guessed the person behind the scenes... It's probably him. Only he has such great power to send all the Night Pearls that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan sent to the Sky Clan to Fuxing City."

"But I still have a vague hope that it's not him." Yi Changle sighed, "Pei Yan is the patriarch of the Celestial Clan, and his power is unimaginable. If he is the man behind Fuxing City, I don't know how many such dirty things there are in the Three Realms with his power and status... Now, we can only hope that there is only one Fuxing City in the Three Realms."

As Yi Changle finished speaking, the atmosphere became much heavier.

Hongmeng Ziqi looked at the two heads hanging down in front of him and advised: "Don't look so depressed, both of you. If you encounter problems, can't you just solve them? As the saying goes, every level is difficult, but you can overcome them. If you encounter difficulties, you look so depressed, what's the matter with you?"

“It’s not that I’m discouraged.” Kaitian said dully, “I just feel sorry for those mortals. Most people pray to gods and Buddhas in their lifetime, but the gods they pray to not only don’t bless them, but also make them restless even after death.”

"Not only did they kill people, but they also trapped their souls and used them as labor." Kaitian patted his chest and said indignantly, "I feel so angry. I am really upset."

Yi Changle nodded, silently agreeing with Kaitian's words. "If I knew what Fuxing City did in the past, I would definitely destroy this broken city, but now there is Shenyu waiting for us to rescue..." Kaitian calmed down and looked at Hongmeng Purple Qi: "It is inconvenient for you to take action."

"If we let Yi Changle take action, the Celestial Clan behind Fuxing City will inevitably retaliate. The Nine-tailed Fox Clan has finally been revived, and it is time to recover its vitality..." Kaitian felt a little headache and even more discouraged, "Are we going to let Fuxing City go?"

Yi Changle's pretty face was wrinkled, and she was obviously in trouble.

Seeing this, Hongmeng Ziqi used his hand as a small fan to fan the air in front of his nose, saying with disdain: "The whole room is filled with the smell of mourning." He then shouted to Kaitian and Yi Changle: "You two, put away the smell of mourning on your bodies."

No one paid any attention to Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Hongmeng Purple Qi didn't even receive a glance.

“Alas.” Hongmeng Ziqi raised his head to the sky and sighed, “I didn’t expect that in the end, I, the one who once wanted to destroy the Three Realms, would have to stand up and take charge of the situation.”

"I have a way to deal with Fuxing City and make these monsters get the retribution they deserve."

As soon as Hongmeng Ziqi said this, Yi Changle and Kaitian raised their heads instantly and said in unison: "What method?"

Looking at the hope flashing in the eyes of the two people in front of him, Hongmeng Ziqi straightened his back a little more, like a proud rooster, "Pei Enze."

"Si Ming said that Pei Enze has been secretly developing his power over the years, just to overthrow Pei Yan in one fell swoop one day." Hongmeng Ziqi paused, and then said: "Now, let's give him the opportunity to overthrow Pei Yan, so that he can become the Heavenly Sovereign legitimately."

"But he is his father after all..." Kaitian hesitated, "Can he really have the heart to attack his father?"

"I was born without a father or a mother, all alone, so I have never experienced a true kinship, let alone what it's like for a normal father and son to get along, but..." Hongmeng Ziqi shook his head, "It's definitely not like Pei Yan and Pei Enze."

"If it were anyone else, they might not be able to do something to their biological father, but Pei Enze would definitely be able to do something to Pei Yan." Hongmeng Ziqi said confidently, "I can guarantee it."

"What can you guarantee?" Before Hongmeng Ziqi could reply, Kaitian suddenly thought of something and gave Hongmeng Ziqi an ambiguous look, "I didn't expect that you and Pei Yan also had a relationship."

Hongmeng Ziqi frowned, "What is there?"

"Of course there is a past, just like you and that uncle Yi Changle."

"..." Hongmeng Ziqi held his forehead helplessly, "It's not what you think, Pei Yan and I don't have that kind of relationship." "Then you and Pei Enze?" Kaitian smacked his lips, "How could you have done that to Pei Enze at that age? You're really an old cow eating young grass."

The corner of Hongmeng Ziqi's mouth twitched, and he denied: "Pei Enze and I don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Then how can you guarantee that Pei Enze will be able to take action against Pei Yan?"

Seeing that the topic was going back to the past, Hongmeng Ziqi looked helpless, "Does it have to be that kind of relationship to guarantee it?"

"Not really. But if you don't have a close relationship with one of them, how do you know there's a rift between them?" Kaitian recalled, "Pei Yan and Pei Enze are a loving father and a filial son, aren't they well-known throughout the Three Realms? The Three Realms Chronicles once held a vote on 'Who in the Three Realms would you most like to be your father?' Pei Yan got quite a few votes."

"There is such a vote?" Yi Changle asked in surprise, "Why have I never heard of it?"

"There are many votes like this. It's normal that you haven't heard of them." Kaitian counted on his fingers and gave examples. "What about the Three Realms' No. 1 Queen, the Three Realms' No. 1 Cutest Girl, the Three Realms' No. 1 Young Master, the Three Realms' No. 1 Good Mother... Compared with these votes, this father's vote really doesn't attract much attention."

"Then who is first?" Yi Changle asked curiously.

“It seems to be from the demon clan… who was it…” Kaitian scratched his head embarrassedly, “I saw it too much and forgot.”

"Alright." Hongmeng Ziqi brought Yi Changle and Kaitian back to the point, "Let's talk about serious matters. Can you two save these gossips for later when you have time?"

Kaitian and Yi Changle shut their mouths obediently and looked into Hongmeng Ziqi's big eyes, which kept fluttering.

"Si Ming told me about the matter between Pei Enze and Pei Yan."

"I understand, Siming and Pei Enze have that kind of relationship." Kaitian understood again.

"No, no!" Hongmeng Ziqi said angrily: "How many times do you want me to say it? No matter whether it is Pei Enze or Pei Yan, no one has that kind of relationship with them!"

"It's not, so why are you angry?" The Lord of Heaven fought back even though he was not justified.

Hongmeng Ziqi gave Kaitian a blank look and continued, "What happened between Pei Yan and Pei Enze was witnessed by Siming by chance."

"Pei Enze's mother was..." Hongmeng Ziqi paused, his eyes full of complicated emotions, "Pei Yan killed her."

"What!" Such news is enough to make one's jaw drop.

Kaitian lowered his chin, "But didn't the Three Realms Chronicles say that Pei Enze's mother was Pei Yan's beloved, so after her death, Pei Yan never appointed a new queen. If she was his beloved, why would he kill her?"

"What's written in the Three Realms Chronicles may not be true." Yi Changle rubbed his thumb and index finger together to indicate, "After all, even a parrot needs to eat."

“It seems that the Celestial Clan gave a lot.” Kaitian recalled carefully, “In the Chronicles of the Three Realms, everything related to the Celestial Clan is good, without any negative words.”

"But why did Pei Yan kill Pei Enze's mother?"

Hongmeng Ziqi shook his head, "I don't know about this. After all, Siming only got this news accidentally."

"So, Pei Enze wants to kill Pei Yan to avenge his mother?"

"That should be the main reason." Hongmeng Ziqi laughed sarcastically, "After all, there are too many reasons for people to want to kill Pei Yan."
