CHAPTER 179
The Second Young Miss Is Missing!
============================================================
Catching Ye Qinghan's fox head as it swung down to strike, Su Cheng merely smiled.
"We are master and disciple. No need for formalities. Take this compass and jade bottle. Do you need me to teach you how to use them?"
Ye Qinghan shook her head. While her mastery of the Frostblade Art was mediocre, her skill in wielding magical artifacts was anything but. A quick glance was enough to grasp their operation.
"Thank you, Master."
He gently helped Ye Qinghan to her feet and spoke with a smile.
"When I activated the compass earlier, I saw that in the Southern Realm, the soul of your mother, Qinghan, is about to enter the cycle of reincarnation…"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghan felt as though the Grim Reaper himself had returned. The mere mention of death instantly lifted his spirits!
"Then Qinghan will go see him off!"
"Hey, hey, Qinghan, don't be so hasty! You can still come after he's gone!"
"Heh heh, Master, she's about to reincarnate anyway. A little while longer won't make a difference. Qinghan is willing to use divine magic to guide her on her way!"
Seriously? Someone's about to die, and you're this happy?
Su Cheng could do nothing about it. As long as this girl didn't go out killing and burning, it was tolerable…
Might as well let her have her way.
"Does Qinghan require the Master's accompaniment?"
"Such a minor matter—why should the Master trouble yourself? Qinghan will handle it alone."
Ye Qinghan thought to herself, How could she possibly let her master go?
With his compassionate face, he couldn't bear to see a poor soul shed tears!
If he accidentally used a bit of divine magic and revived that guy, that would be disastrous!
Ye Qinghan bid her master a simple farewell and set off straight for the Southern Realm.
Heh heh, Demon Emperor Fragment ×1.
Though she didn't know how many she'd need to revive her mother, at least there was hope now!
Revenge may be urgent, but my master was right—those you love are far more important than vengeance.
After handling matters with the First Disciple, Su Cheng also planned to return and make arrangements.
With the Northern Realm still unresolved and a troublesome Death Demon now in his midst, only Dongfang Jue's front showed progress. Su Cheng reckoned Yong'an City wouldn't last much longer.
Upon returning, Su Cheng froze in shock. Yu Lan and Xu Zhanfeng had somehow managed to lose track of his second disciple!
In the blink of an eye, his precious Shiyu had vanished!
Truthfully, this was something Su Cheng hadn't anticipated!
Though Li Shiyu was a bit of a scatterbrain, she wasn't a child. It seemed unrealistic that she could simply vanish without a trace!
Especially with elders and stewards nearby—how could she simply vanish?
"Husband, don't panic. Yu Lan will go find the Second Young Miss!"
Xu Zhanfeng searched everywhere, then knelt on the ground, cursing himself over and over.
Su Cheng also noticed something amiss: "Wait—where did that damn succubus go?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lan exchanged a glance with Xu Zhanfeng…
Su Muchan was gone too!
"Anyway, don't panic yet. I doubt many could steal someone right under your noses. If they intended to use this to threaten me, they'd surely find a way to notify me."
Truth be told, Su Cheng had a few suspects in mind. Could it be that disobedient little brat?
"Husband, where's the eldest daughter?"
"Qinghan has returned to the Southern Domain. There are matters requiring her presence."
"Under these circumstances, isn't it dangerous for the eldest daughter to travel alone? Shouldn't we send Yu Lan…"
Su Cheng shook his head. "Qinghan will be fine. It's you who would be in danger if you went to find her."
These words warmed Yulan's heart—her husband truly cared for her.
But the warmth lasted only a moment. Losing the Second Young Miss was no small matter!
Still, the Second Young Miss was born to live a life of luxury. What seemed dangerous to others might mean little to her.
The Second Young Miss at this moment…
"Wow! Sister, you're so beautiful!"
"Are you a fairy, Sister? Can I touch your tail?"
The great fox tilted her head, gazing at Li Shiyao and Su Muchan…
"Sister, my senior sister is also a fox spirit, but she only has one tail—not as many as yours!"
"Would you like a steamed bun, Sister?"
"Why aren't you talking, Sister?"
Li Shiyao plopped herself into the big fox's lap without waiting for an answer, playing with its tail.
One snow-white tail in each hand, she began role-playing, even giving voices to both tails!
"Hehe, my name is Ye Qinghan, the First Disciple of Lingxian Hall—a fox demon!"
"My name is Li Shiyao, and I'm a fox demon too!"
"Hey! Take this sword strike! Frostblade Formation!"
"Ha! Nothing special! Watch my Demon-Slaying Sword Formation!"
Su Muchan was utterly dumbfounded. Could this little fool really not see the situation at all?
You seem to be having quite a good time!
"You're Li Shiyao?" The great fox spoke slowly, her icy eyes fixed on the little fool before her. Honestly, she was speechless.
"Yep, I'm Li Shiyao, the second disciple of Lingxian Hall. My master is Su Cheng, my senior sister is Ye Qinghan, and then there's Elder Yulan and that corpse, Xu Zhanfeng!"
Li Shiyao beamed, utterly delighted. This big fox was so much more generous than her senior sister!
Her senior sister's tail wouldn't even let her touch it! So stingy!
"Does Su Cheng like you very much?"
"Hmm… I think Master does like Shiyu, but he's so shy he never says it!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Shiyáo said she wants to bear Master's child, and Master was so happy he couldn't even speak!"
"Oh~ Is that so?"
"But Shiyu still wants Senior Sister to have a baby first. She wants to see how cute Senior Sister's baby is before deciding whether to have one herself!"
Su Muchan thought to herself, "Anyone connected to Lingxian Hall must be completely unhinged!"
"Su Muchan? Come here!"
Su Muchan thought to herself, this one looks like a real tough nut to crack! Compared to the master's wife earlier, this one clearly looks like someone who's killed countless people!
Her butt hadn't even stopped throbbing yet! She dared not show off…
Following the old fox's instructions, she moved forward slightly.
In an instant, the big fox teleported right in front of Su Muchan, grabbed her by the neck, and hoisted her up…
Li Shiyao, who had been sitting in the big fox's lap just moments ago, also took a tumble, landing on her butt~
"Oh ho, a dungeon boss. Interesting…"
Su Muchan thought to herself, Could you say something I can understand?
"Fox demon sister… Sis, I don't understand…"
Hearing this, the giant fox seemed to lose interest, casually tossing Su Muchan aside.
But who was the Second Young Miss? Her exceptional talent was no exaggeration!
"Shiyao understood. Sister meant that Miss Muchan is quite amusing!"
This was the first time Su Muchan had ever been called a fool—by a little fool herself!
"Li Shiyu, it seems you aren't afraid of me?"
The fox wasn't particularly interested in Su Muchan. She'd encountered over a dozen copy individuals in Su City, slaying them all—each one a disgusting, repulsive face.
Though this was her first encounter with a female instance entity, it merely piqued her curiosity—nothing worth stirring up trouble over.
But this Li Shiyu… she was rather interesting…
"Shiyao isn't afraid of Sister. Shiyao really likes Sister. Shiyao wants to be good friends with Sister!"
Su Muchan stared at Li Shiyu… Six…
…lives? Want to be friends with her? This big fox certainly didn't look like a good friend material!
"Oh? Be my friend? Aren't you afraid I'm a wicked fox?"
"Sister is so beautiful, she can't be a bad person! Besides, Senior Sister is also a fox demon, and she's always been kind to Shiyu!"
"Does being pretty mean you're not bad?"
"Fourth Elder once mentioned a four-character phrase… something about 'fragrant oil revealing true feelings'? Anyway, Shiyu just knows Sister is a good person!"
Su Muchan: How utterly ridiculous!
