Chapter 149: Found Hong Yao!

Lin Qingyue searched the study again, finally touched a mechanism, twisted it hard, only heard a "creak", the bookshelf and the wall behind it slowly turned open, revealing a secret door.

Past the secret door was a secret room, with tables, chairs, and beds, completely an independent bedroom.

And Hong Yao was inside!

She had turned back into the appearance of a fox, with fiery red fur, having lost its former luster. Although the injured leg was no longer bleeding, it was already swollen and rotten.

"Hong Yao, Hong Yao!" Lin Qingyue shouted twice but didn't see her respond, and when she probed her body again, she was surprised to find that her abdomen had been cut open, and the demon pill in her dantian was gone.

All the cultivation of the demon kind condensed into a demon pill. Once the demon pill is lost, it turns back into an ordinary fox and won't live long.

"Hong Yao, hold on!" Lin Qingyue used her own spiritual power to help her heal the damage to her body.

Golden light gathered around the fox's body, the wound on the abdomen slowly began to heal, and the swollen and rotten place on the leg also recovered a little.

Her thick, dark, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lin Qingyue, tears rolled out of her eyes: "Miss Lin..."

But the next moment, she said urgently: "You must be careful, that Li Xiu is very powerful, and has many magic treasures that can restrain demon kinds. And, he seems to be practicing evil ways, his strength is very strong."

Lin Qingyue asked: "So your demon pill was dug out by him? Didn't I tell you to go to the Xuanjing Division to surrender immediately after returning to the capital?"

Hong Yao said: "Before I went to the Xuanjing Division, I wanted to take one last look at Miao Dong's miserable state in the prison. But I didn't expect to happen to bump into the scene of him being strangled to death by someone. I knew this was someone silencing him, and I didn't dare to make a sound, so I went to the Xuanjing Division immediately."

"I thought, the Xuanjing Division is the yamen managed by Miss Lin and Master Xie, it should be very safe. When I arrived at the gate of the Xuanjing Division, I saw a middle-aged man walking out, looking around, and then quietly walking into the alley next to it."

"I felt his expression was wrong. He was sneaky, as if he was afraid of being bumped into by others. So I had an extra heart and followed him."

"After arriving in the alley, the other party met with another man in black clothes. I hid in the dark and overheard their conversation..."

The man in black clothes asked: "Has Master Xie had any news passed back recently?"

The other party replied: "No."

The man in black clothes said again: "According to Miao Dong's confession, the fall of all officials in Donglin Prefecture this time is related to a fox demon. And that fox demon is a rare top-grade red fox, with a hundred years of cultivation. If she arrives in the capital, she will definitely go to your Xuanjing Division, you pay more attention. The master just happens to need a top-grade demon pill."

The person from the Xuanjing Division said: "If that fox demon comes, I guarantee she won't be able to escape our palms. By the way, how is Miao Dong? He has seen me before, once my identity is leaked, I won't be able to stay in the Xuanjing Division in the future."

"Rest assured, Miao Dong is dead, no soul left!"

Just at this time, something on that person suddenly made a beeping sound, and he exclaimed: "There is demon aura!"

Hong Yao saw that she was exposed and ran away.

But that person was from the Xuanjing Division, carrying a compass specifically for probing demon aura, and chased Hong Yao all the way.

During this period, the two moved their hands. That person's own strength was not strong, but he had the demon-catching net of the Xuanjing Division, and almost netted Hong Yao several times.

Hong Yao struggled out of the net with difficulty, and was shot in the calf by his sword.

Finally, Hong Yao fled into the Qi Jie Fang.

She originally thought she could hide in the residential area for a period of time. But she didn't expect that the other party would soon summon reinforcements, and in order to catch her, they didn't hesitate to burn all the people in the entire square to death.

Hong Yao had no choice, and after leaving clues for Lin Qingyue, she jumped out of her hiding place dragging her injured leg.

Under the pursuit of many pursuers, she was soon captured and sent to the Li Duke's mansion that night.

It was also here that Hong Yao met Li Xiu and was cruelly stripped of her demon pill.

Her tail flicked weakly: "Miss, I can't do it anymore."

The voice that was as thin as a thread was filled with relief, "Being able to see you before I die, I am already... very happy. I am going to find my sister..."

Those eyes that once flowed with ten thousand kinds of amorous feelings were losing their luster bit by bit, leaving only dead gray.

"With me here, you won't die!" Lin Qingyue condensed large pieces of golden light in her palm and poured them all into Hong Yao's dantian.

The body that had lost the demon pill was originally like a residual candle about to go out, but suddenly it was lit with vitality.

Soon a new demon pill formed again, slowly rotating in her dantian, continuously sending out life force.

In an instant, the fox fur that had dimmed slowly recovered its original color.

Soon, the fox that had curled into a ball slowly turned into a human form.

Lin Qingyue said contemptuously: "Isn't it just a demon pill, I will recast it for you! Without my permission, even the King of Hell can't take you away!"

Hong Yao opened her eyes again, slowly overflowing with two lines of tears, "Miss..."

"Pfft!" Lin Qingyue felt a sweetness in her throat and sprayed a mouthful of blood.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It is indeed different from the past, even recasting the demon pill is so troublesome.

"Miss!" Hong Yao was shocked, her eyes full of worry.

Lin Qingyue wiped the blood from the corner of her lips indifferently, her face was an uninhibited smile: "Rest assured, I won't use my own life to exchange for your life. It's just that the spiritual power was used too fiercely all at once, and it was a bit overdrawn. Slow down, and I can recover."

She said it easily, but Hong Yao knew that spiritual power overdraft is a taboo for practitioners.

Even if a strong person can recover in the later adjustment, it will take at least a few months.

And during this period, once an enemy comes looking, there will be no ability to protect oneself.

Lin Qingyue pulled down the bed curtain and draped it over Hong Yao, saying: "Don't be long-winded, this place is not suitable for staying long, let's go!"

"Okay, let's go!" Hong Yao didn't dawdle anymore and jumped off the bed.

Who knew that at that moment, the mechanism in the room suddenly started. The floor of the entire room suddenly disappeared.

Lin Qingyue and Hong Yao only felt their feet empty, and before they could react, they were swallowed by darkness.

The next moment, the floor of the room suddenly appeared, and even the door of the secret room slowly closed, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the Twin Talisman on Dongfang Qi's chest emitted a scorching aura, burning his skin through several layers of clothing.

Yueyue is in trouble!

His face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly!

Li Xiu asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the Crown Prince?"

On the bed, the "weak" Li Duke was moved to tears: "I didn't teach my son well, so that the rebellious son Li Duo committed a big mistake! The Emperor did not blame, and even sent the Crown Prince to visit in person, which really moved the old minister beyond words!"

Dongfang Qi had no time to deal with him, and immediately said goodbye: "Duke, take good care of yourself, this palace will not disturb you much."

The Li Duke struggled to get up, Dongfang Qi said: "No need to send me off!" and hurried out. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
