Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 318: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (45)

Being angry is being angry, and being noisy is being noisy.

Shi Qi resigned himself to his fate and gave the child the medicine.

Because Xiang Ling was seriously injured, Shi Qi did not let him return home immediately. She just came to see Xiang Ling every half a month after she finished dealing with the affairs of the Zong government.

That day, Shi Qi had just returned home after visiting Xiang Ling when he heard a rustling sound on the wall.

Shi Qi subconsciously became alert: "Who?"

She has been in more contact with Xiang Ling recently, and quite a few little demons occasionally come to visit her.

A familiar voice came from the wall, seeming anxious: "Shi Qi, it's me, Xiao Lu... cough cough."

When he heard it was Lu Ziqi, Shi Qi let down his guard. He just didn't understand why everyone liked to climb over the wall.

Is her mansion really shameful?

"Why did you suddenly come here in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent?" Shi Qi said, and simply kicked the snow under the wall to make it easier for Lu Ziqi to come down.

Lu Ziqi glanced around and said cautiously, "Let's go inside and talk."

Only after entering the house did Lu Ziqi dare to breathe deeply.

"Shi Qi, it's bad. Didn't you ask me to check what's going on with the sacrifice and the ceremony recently? I... ahem, I was in Qian Sui's house today and accidentally heard a shocking event. It was really too terrifying, so you have to be mentally prepared... huh..."

Shi Qi saw that Lu Ziqi looked flustered, so he comforted him, "Take a breath first, drink some pear tea, and then talk to me slowly."

Lu Ziqi shook his head: "This really makes me angry. There has been nothing like this in thousands of years. I can't explain it slowly... cough cough."

“They have discovered Xiang Ling’s identity. Su Yi and the others now know that he is a fox demon, and they also found out that you were the one who released him.

"This is not a good thing. To make matters worse, after a while, they will use the Queen Mother's illness as an excuse to expose your identities. They will say that it was caused by a fox demon and that Master Shi was bewitched and kept company with the demon. They will sacrifice you to get rid of the demon and perform a ritual to wake the Queen Mother up."

"I'm really worried about you. If what I heard is true, what will you do?" Lu Ziqi said in one breath, looking at Shi Qi worriedly.

After hearing this, Shi Qi was not upset. It was only a matter of time before his identity was discovered. However, they also had something on Su Yi. The subordinate of Su Yi who poisoned the Queen Mother was still being held by her, so it was impossible for them to find Su Yi.

Besides, she has almost developed the antidote powder for the Queen Mother, and she will wake her up before they take action.

But what she didn’t quite understand was...what the hell was it about asking her to sacrifice herself?

"What's the matter with sacrifice?" Shi Qi asked calmly.

Lu Ziqi blinked and hesitated: "I don't know if I can put it this way, have you ever heard of human sacrifice?"

Shi Qi nodded.

"I guess Sui wants to use human sacrifice to complete his ascension to the Nine-Tailed Fox. And Su Yi just took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of you and take control of the court."

Shi Qi felt depressed after hearing this, thinking it was really rebellious.

It turns out that Sui has been planning for so long, and the grand ceremony and sacrifice just require... human sacrifice?

!! ?

Sui must be crazy thinking about Nine-Tailed Fox becoming an immortal...

"I know about this. I will take precautions and let the emperor and others prepare in advance." Shi Qi answered, but he felt a little uneasy.

Because she knew that if the fox demon took a human as a sacrifice, it would suffer the calamity of heaven and would never be able to ascend to heaven.

If Sui wanted to sacrifice a living person, wouldn't he be punished by heaven's will?

Knowing that there will be a natural disaster, he still wants to sacrifice people. Could it be that... he wants to bring about the disaster?

Shi Qi's heart trembled, and he was inexplicably worried about Xiang Ling.

In addition, Sui had been secretly investigating Xiang Ling's whereabouts, and she felt more and more that the child was in danger.

"Next month's ceremony will be held before the sacrifice. There will be so many people there. It will be a huge chaos." Lu Ziqi pounded the table, worried.

"Okay, I'm fine with everything else. Xiaojiu misses you a lot. After this period of time is over, I will bring Xiaojiu to see you." Lu Ziqi drank a cup of tea and didn't plan to stay any longer.

Shi Qi looked at his figure who had lost a lot of weight in recent days and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Ziqi. I appreciate your help in finding out information during this period of time."

Lu Ziqi paused as he was leaving, and waved his hand casually: "No, look at what you said, it's too formal. See you later~"

Shi Qi looked at the departing figure and sighed slightly.

Can she not have to use her brain in the next world?

She'd rather do the hard labor...really.

……

The High Priest's House.

It was a dark and windy night, and it should have been time for everyone to sleep and rest, but in a courtyard outside the mansion, there was a large circle of people wearing white clothes and white hats.

They were holding torches, dancing in strange movements, and muttering something in a persuasive manner, which was quite eerie in the night.

What they were surrounding were actually several corpses with their hearts dug out.

The whole scene was confusing and disgusting, and it was really scary in the middle of the night.

In the corridor not far away, a man in black was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, with a smile on his lips.

“You see, these sacrifices will not be in vain. They will protect this country and make this country... prosperous...” The man in black gently swept his fingers in front of these people's eyes, and the strange red light slowly seeped into their bodies.

Soon, these people danced harder and made louder noises... like puppets without souls.

Soon, the man in black pulled down his hat, revealing his cloudy eyes.

This person is undoubtedly Sui.

The subordinate behind him suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "High Priest, we haven't found Xiang Ling's whereabouts yet, but we found that Master Shi's whereabouts have been erratic recently and he has been spending less time in the Zong government."

Sui frowned slightly: "Oh? Then can you find out where she went at other times? Who was she with?"

"She seems to know that we are monitoring her and is deliberately avoiding us. We don't know her other whereabouts yet. I will find out as soon as possible." The subordinate replied with his head down.

Sui snorted coldly and clenched his palms.

That day, Xiang Ling actually used the Three-Tailed Soul Gathering Technique to break his thousand-man death sacrifice. They fought for a long time, and he could have killed Xiang Ling, but a gust of evil wind blew Xiang Ling away.

So this time... he will use a living person as a sacrifice.

Not only will he sacrifice living people, he will also bring the heavenly calamity to Xiang Ling, making him unable to live or die!

The white fox clan, haha, are born to be a lowly species.

This time, he wanted to see who could save him.

"High Priest, there is also... the families of these people have started to make trouble. They said that we cheated them and their families were possessed by evil spirits. This..." The subordinate said, looking at Sui cautiously, fearing that he would crush him if he was unhappy.

Sui chuckled: "Haha, I don't think it's a big deal. Let them make a fuss."

“But… but someone has already reported the incident to the Zong government. Master, Shi Qi is Prime Minister Su’s mortal enemy, and he is also the master of Xiang Ling. What do you think, should we…?” The subordinate said, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

Sui frowned, grabbed the man's neck fiercely, and said sternly: "When will it be your turn to ask me to do something? Besides... Xiang Ling's fox pill needs her to draw it out for me."

The man begged for mercy, and Sui let go of his hand and slapped him, sending him flying onto a pillar dozens of meters away.

Fox demons recognize their masters and will call out their masters’ names before they die. That day, before Xiang Ling died, he called out Shi Qi several times…

That woman was obviously Xiang Ling's new master, yet she actually played tricks on me!

Oh, deep affection?

Just wait, this time, he will let them...live...and...fly...alone together!
