Chapter 962 “The Suicidal Fox Family (3)”
“Eagle Chief, I’ve already sent everyone out to search and still can’t find the mentioned human you mentioned about carrying that jade pendant.”
Can’t?
The chief of the eagles taps his finger with timed motion against the tabletop: “Did you look through the entire border city?”
“Yes Eagle Chief, we’ve secretly investigated every human living there and found no traces of the queen. May I suggest making a posting at a public location to let Her Highness know about us if she comes?”Regarding the settlement locations of all the demon races living here, only the Fox Clan would openly settle within the city itself. The rest are very well hidden like theirs so it’s not out of the question for Bai Yan to not know where they are.
“No,” Yu Xiang (Eagle Chief) shakes his head after musing over the option. “If those people from the Celestial Realm finds out her identity, it’s not out of the question that they would try to abduct her and use Her Highness as leverage against the king. We must find her in secrecy.” Slowly loosening up his brow: “Let’s do this then, I will go with you all to the border city. As long as Her Highness is there then we will eventually find her.”
As the eagle chief slowly got up from his seat, a set of determined eyes flashed with life from that face because he has no intention of failing in this mission.
Truth was, the struggles between the various racial demon groups in this area were extremely strong, meaning each faction wants to make a good impression in front of Di Cang and get on his good side.
“Yes, Eagle Chief.” The guard cups his hand and respectfully complied.
“Let’s go then.” Brushing his sleeve, Yu Xiang didn’t delay the matter and shot out of the hall like a lightning bolt. Following closely behind him were the guards and his most trusted confidants.
……Border city.
The streets were lively and bristling with life here today, just that due to the constant battles between both human and demon, the structures here were very povish in appearance thanks to the lack of repair.
“Huh?” Yu Xiang who’s been eyeing left and right until now had suddenly stopped moving, his gaze heavily locked onto the beautiful female up ahead. But unlike the lecherous perverts roaming the streets in a red-light district, his attention was more focused on the jade pendant hanging off of the waist – there’s a picture of a silvery fox just like in his memories.
“Chief, this… this is the queen’s jade pendant!” The guard next to him became excited and asked with a hushed voice.
“No, as far as I know the queen is a human, and the girl is a fox over there.”
Why do the foxes carry the queen’s identity ornament?
“Do you need me to go invite her over?” the guard eagerly offers the suggestion.
“No need, I’ll go in person.”
Yu Xiang’s eyes began to narrow in, These foxes are related to the queen? But why didn’t the king mention about others having the item as well? I must figure out the reasoning behind all this.
……
At this time moment Hu Mei was just in the middle of buying some makeup powder along the stall when the path in front became blocked by a middle-aged man.
“Do you need something?” she asks with her beautiful brow furrowed into a knot.
“Miss Hu Mei, it’s been a long time,” Yu Xiang cracks a smile that he deemed friendly enough to break the ice. “Is your father doing well?”
Startled at first, it didn’t take long for this fox lady to recall where she’s seen this man. Retracting some of the arrogant pride on that face, she also smiles in greeting.
