From the moment this woman appeared, I felt a strange aura. This aura wasn't witch aura, nor was it Dao aura. It was … Monster aura!
There were billions of living beings in the world. Cultivation wasn't unique to humans. Mountain spirits and wild monsters also had their own fortune. They could consume the essence of heaven and earth or absorb natural treasures. In the end, they could also step onto the path of Dao.
It was just that their innate spirituality wasn't enough. This path would be more difficult for other living beings.
For example, the hunchbacked old lady that I met in the Shenzhen Fengshui Metaphysics Shop. She was a fox spirit that had the cultivation of a Celestial Master. She could transform into a human form and use Dao techniques. Her cultivation was much higher than mine.
As for the woman in front of me, I could see her true form at a glance.
Coincidentally, this woman's true form was also a fox!
She was different from the white fur of the hunchbacked old lady. This young woman's true form was a snow fox.
Her snow-white skin was smooth and her eyes didn't have much coldness or cunning. After sweeping a glance at us, she looked at Li Linqi gently.
Almost instantly, I imagined a vulgar story of a fox spirit transforming into a young woman and stepping into the mortal world to seduce human men.
There were many historical novels that had similar stories. Fox girls were passionate and the fox race was one of the rare races that could transform into a human form at the Glory of Knowledge realm. Compared to other spirits, they had a higher chance of interacting with the mortal world. Thus, it wasn't strange for them to have various stories.
Just like in those historical novels, spirits didn't have enough spirituality. If they interacted too much with humans, it would be bad luck and harm people's health.
This wasn't the spirits' intention, but it was just the rules of creation.
According to Mi Ding Cheng's story, Li Linqi had a serious illness in his early years and lost his fortune. These facts further proved the relationship between him and the fox girl in front of me.
As I was sizing up the fox girl, Mi Ding Cheng was also looking at the woman in shock. He asked Li Linqi, "Ah Qi, this … Could she be my sister-in-law?
Why haven't I seen her before? "
Li Linqi shook his head and took the tea that the fox girl brought over. After asking her to sit down, he looked at the fox girl lovingly and smiled. "I'm already so old. Haha, this is my daughter!"
With that, he introduced to the fox girl, "Yao Yao, this is the Uncle Mi that I have been telling you about."
The fox girl smiled sweetly and seemed a bit shy. She lowered her head and said, "Hello, Uncle Mi."
Seeing this scene, Mi Ding Cheng had an awkward expression and laughed it off.
I sat at the side, my eyebrows completely furrowed.
Daughter!
This is completely different from what I thought.
I frowned and stared closely at the young girl in front of me. The Glory of Knowledge realm monster energy proved that she was a fox girl, but how could a human have a demon fox daughter?
Li Linqi was lying?
I turned to look at Li Linqi. At this moment, he was also looking at the fox girl. His eyes were filled with love and affection. It was the same gaze that all fathers in the world had when they looked at their daughters.
At this time, the fox girl softly said, "Father, I will return to my room first."
Her voice was clear and melodious, but my attention was completely focused on how she addressed Li Linqi.
Father … Even if Li Linqi was lying, there was no need for him to spend so much effort, right?
Moreover, there was no need for him to hide this fox girl. All he had to do was not let her reveal herself. There was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
As I was thinking about this problem, Li Linqi and Mi Ding Cheng had already started talking about serious matters.
At this moment, Li Linqi seemed to have noticed and took the initiative to ask Mi Ding Cheng, "Ah Cheng, did something happen for you to specially come over?"
Mi Ding Cheng coughed lightly and prepared to lay his cards on the table awkwardly.
At this moment, I took the initiative to interrupt him. I casually made up a reason and said to him, "Boss Mi, the meeting that we arranged is about to start. Should we go back first?"
The sudden appearance of the fox girl made the matter even more confusing. At this moment, the fox girl had just left, so she might have heard our conversation. Moreover, the appearance of the Seven Star Mugwort Leaf was most likely related to the fox girl, so it wasn't appropriate to talk about it now.
Mi Ding Cheng was a smart person. After a moment of bewilderment, he immediately understood what I meant. He nodded to me and apologized to Li Linqi. "Ah Qi, I'm really sorry. I'm very busy with my business, so I can't postpone the arranged meeting … I'll go back first."
Although Li Linqi felt it was a little strange, he didn't ask much. He smiled and stood up. While chatting, he saw us out of the door.
After we got out of the door, Mi Dingcheng raised his foot and prepared to go downstairs. I reached out to grab him and used my other hand to cast a spell. Dao Qi surged out and formed a Dao Qi barrier around us. Then, I turned to look at Li Linqi and asked him directly, "Li Linqi, is that fox girl really your daughter?"
"What?"
After hearing my words, Li Linqi didn't react, but Mi Ding Cheng's eyes widened in shock.
Li Linqi's reaction was similar to Mi Ding Cheng's. He was stunned for a long time before he stammered, "You … Are you joking? What fox girl?"
I smiled faintly. Although Li Linqi looked surprised, he had a strange expression when I called his name. He didn't have much of a reaction when I said the word 'fox girl' … He most likely knew about the fox girl's identity!
I looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "You really don't know?"
Li Linqi's complexion changed a few times in an instant. He remained silent and did not speak again.
At this time, Mi Ding Cheng opened his mouth. He seemed to have understood what I meant as he advised Li Linqi, "Ah Qi, Grandmaster Zhou is an expert from the mainland. Don't look down on his young age. His knowledge of Feng Shui is very profound.
I also think that your situation these years is very strange … If you really have a fox girl, you must tell us. I'm sure Grandmaster Zhou can help you solve it. "
I didn't know if it was because Mi Ding Cheng's advice was effective, but Li Linqi finally opened his mouth.
"Yao Yao is really my daughter, but …" Li Linqi's expression was filled with struggle and fear. He continued with difficulty, "But I also know that there is a problem. It's not Yao Yao, it's Yao Yao's mother, who is my wife … I have been with her since I was young. After so many years, I have more or less found some clues. But Yao Yao is really my daughter. She gave birth to me."
He didn't say much, but I understood what he meant.
Yao Yao's mother … In other words, Li Linqi had a wife who was also a fox girl. Moreover, she gave birth to a fox girl for him.
There were many records of the Monster race in the ancient books, especially the fox race. It wasn't rare for them to have a human as a companion. However, it was unheard of for them to have a child.
But since the fox spirit could transform into a human, it wasn't strange for them to give birth to a child. I couldn't completely rule out this possibility.
Li Linqi confessed, which made me feel that it was a little tricky.
After staying silent for a while, I asked him, "Where is Yao Yao's mother now?"
Li Linqi shook his head. "She said that she had to go to Guangzhou the day before yesterday. She hasn't returned yet."
Not at home … I pondered for a while and pointed at the door. "Let's go back. Call your daughter out. I have some questions to ask her."
"This …" Li Linqi's expression showed that he was unwilling.
I understood what he meant and smiled. "Don't worry. Although she is a fox girl, as long as she doesn't hurt anyone, I won't do anything to her."
Li Linqi didn't seem to believe me. Mi Ding Cheng quickly assured him for a long time. Li Linqi then heaved a sigh of relief. After staying silent for a while, he finally nodded. "Alright, I will bring you in."
I removed the barrier and followed Li Linqi back into the house. Who knew that the moment we entered the house, a strong gust of wind blew against us.
I looked up and saw countless silver threads surrounding me with a strong gust of wind. Judging from the power, it seemed to have the power of a Heavenly Master's full power.
I didn't have time to think and lifted my foot to step forward. The power of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper's eighth step, Insight, was activated. A vast power suddenly surged from my body and instantly dispersed the countless silver threads. Even the terrifying demonic wind was completely blocked. The remaining power scattered in all directions, instantly shattering the furniture in Li Linqi's living room.
After blocking the attack, I looked in front of me.
The person in front of me wasn't the fox girl that I had imagined. Instead, it was a little girl that looked like she was carved out of jade. She looked to be around six or seven years old, but her body carried a demonic aura that was close to the Heavenly Master's realm.
It was obvious that the previous attack was from her.
