I’m not young and still single, they are eager for me to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was at loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Him, who hadn’t traveled much in the Immortal Realm, naturally couldn’t fathom that even in place like the Immortal Realm there would be leftover men and women being pressured to marry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon a second thought, he let it pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yun family behind Xiang Yunxian, although it had a general family feel to it, had established its own branch from the moment it chose to give up its clan identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noble family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course they would value bloodline inheritance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Xiang Yunxian’s uncomfortable face, Li Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t realize your life was that hard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Xiang Yunxian grinned and thought about how her life was more than just hard but also shot him expecting little eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing was straightforward and headed to a deserted corner of the street to transform into Master Jiu and then came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People often say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between cross-dressing comes down to whether you’ve never done it or done it countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same principle applies to transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having transformed into a woman so many times, Li Jing had gradually become accustomed to this mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the identity of Master Jiu was really convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox demon’s natural charm was very useful, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon’s Thousand Faces talent was irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him take on the form of \"Master Jiu\", Xiang Yunxian laughed with envy for his ability to change in a myriad ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jiu, you do look more appealing in this form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was left speechless, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough joking around, we should head to the Yun family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing, he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Yun family knows about the Ancient Demon’s inside story. The Confucianism holy thing was taken away. Now the Yun family is probably in a mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what he said, Xiang Yunxian immediately said \"ah\" again, quickly pulling Li Jing toward the east of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a major event about to happen in the Immortal Realm, she didn’t feel like pondering it at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Ancient Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Jing intended to stay here to deal with it and had ample time to prepare, she felt there was no need to worry too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Demon, having been suppressed for so many years, may not be in a better state than Nalan Que who was just a remnant soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Jing here, there was nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking with Xiang Yunxian, Li Jing was deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he had said to Sun Qu earlier was the pure truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That half-demon was anything but ordinary; he couldn’t stop him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was also very vigilant and strongly desired to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding an opportunity to trick him into staying would be quite difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling finds himself less tolerant of Confucianism’s discrimination against half-demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the key reason why he let the half-demon go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, essentially, that doesn’t really matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting go of a half-demon he couldn’t keep wouldn’t hurt much, as long as he sorted out the Ancient Demon, Haoran City would still be safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, that half-demon seemed to be quite decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without making any demands, the person left a promise when they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling didn’t dislike such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to human hypocrisy, this half-demon seemed to have inherited the more honest traits of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This incident gave Ling an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the person was grateful for his \"generosity\", could he try to find him and make contact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where should he go to find him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling quickly arrived at the Yun family led by Xiang Yunxian, lost in various thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yun family was not in chaos as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even be said to be calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Ling, but even Xiang Yunxian was puzzled when she arrived at her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was the Yun family, who had the commandment to coexist and die with Haoran City because of the theft of the Confucianism holy thing, so calm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was puzzled, a young man walked out of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was stunned when he saw Xiang Yunxian, and then he got attracted by Ling who had a pair of fox ears on the top of his head, a pure white big tail behind his waist, and a beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Yunxian also froze when she saw the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw the young man was immediately entranced by Ling, she couldn’t help but cover her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man was, by chance, her nephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not from the Yun family, but from the Xiang line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling’s guise as the Fox Demon Empress was indeed attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those ears and that big tail were especially tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to touch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his naturally charming, yet unaffected demeanor wasn’t actually that exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be easily resisted by those of a Venerable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, it was just a little attraction at first glance without preparedness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her brother looked straight into his eyes, his gaze was like a magnet attached to someone’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was, after all, at the initial Venerable stage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a deliberate cough, Xiang Yunxian pursed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yun Sheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was a Venerable after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was trapped by the charm and couldn’t extricate himself, he came back when called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stabilized his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ling again, the young man couldn’t help but secretly admiring this powerful fox demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced at his elder sister, who was standing there with a grim expression, blinked twice, and gave an awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, why are you back so soon? Weren’t you going to have a secret meeting with the boy from the Nalan family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nalan Longao was dead, but the young man had no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was definitely the kind to open a can of worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he mentioned Nalan Longao, Xiang Yunxian’s lovely face immediately turned cold, and she huffed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mention that scum to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scum?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was his strong desire to survive, cultivated under the shadow of Xiang Yunxian for many years, that prompted him to step forward and say solemnly, although he had no idea what was going on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister! Did that Nalan bully you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiang Yunxian could respond, he quickly glanced at Ling again and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always had a bad feeling about that Nalan.

Does he know what kind of truth Nalan Longao exposed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few words, he disregarded the fact and went straight to Ling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling frowned slightly when he met the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other things didn’t matter, the important thing was that he saw a trace of a health bar on the young man’s head when they met, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling was sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking over at the young man now, there was nothing wrong with him from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Xiang Yunxian, who was contemplating whether or not to keep her brother, Ling smiled and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Jiu Li, an unknown little demon from the Southern Realm.
