Chapter 2221: Chapter 2217: Routine Inspection

"What? Disparaging your Third Aunt? Don’t think just because your Third Aunt’s cultivation technique is unique, that you should have any prejudice against her. Let me tell you, your Third Aunt has more talent than you, and she works harder than you. Among the nine foxes of Fox Spirit Mountain, apart from your father and me, your Third Aunt is probably the strongest."

Fox Bachang rolled his eyes at Hu Mei’er and then said.

Hu Mei’er knew that Hu Sanqiu’s strength was indeed formidable, and Fox Bachang saying that Hu Jiusheng’s strength was greater than Hu Sanqiu’s was probably just to maintain Hu Jiusheng’s status in Tang Ming’s heart.

Hu Sanqiu was different from Fox Bachang and Hu Jiusheng. She was a very rare kind of fox in the Fox Clan, a Red Crown Charm Fox.

This type of demon clan has only one tail, but is innately seductive, the nemesis of all the opposite sex. If Hu Sanqiu were to face a male cultivator two levels higher than her, she would likely win completely. This is the power of Hu Sanqiu.

However, this inherent seductiveness has both advantages and disadvantages. Hu Mei’er felt that this time, Tang Ming going out to buy minerals required discretion.

After all, over in West Desolation City, there is already an intention to kill Tang Ming. At this time, having Hu Sanqiu go along would only add trouble unnecessarily.

"How could I disdain Third Aunt? I just think she’s too beautiful, too attention-grabbing. With her by our side, our team will not be low-profile at all."

Hu Mei’er laughed awkwardly.

Previously, in the Fox Cave where the little fox appeared, a noble red fox crawled out from inside.

"Little girl, you sure know how to flatter. Rest assured, I, your Third Aunt, won’t steal your spotlight. I’ll stay in my original form by your side. As long as you take good care of me, your Third Aunt will handle any issues."

The red fox quickly shrank and leaped straight toward Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er reached out to hold Hu Sanqiu, and she exchanged glances with Tang Ming, who nodded.

Because of her race, Hu Sanqiu was inherently seductive, and having cultivated the Charming Technique, she was very attractive to male cultivators when in human form.

But when she returned to her demon fox form, she no longer had such strong charm, and just looked like a cute little demon beast.

Moreover, being held in Hu Mei’er’s arms also allowed her to have a surprising effect. If any enemy wanted to make a move against Wang Chuan, no one would think that a little fox being held was the big boss of the team.

"Then Mei’er’s safety is entrusted to you, Third Aunt."

Wang Chuan nodded slightly at Hu Sanqiu.

Hu Sanqiu lifted her head and grinned: "Don’t worry, son-in-law. As long as your Third Aunt is not dead, you all will be fine."

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er left Fox Bachang’s cave mansion with Hu Sanqiu.

This time, to purchase minerals, Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er directly disguised themselves as human merchants. And Ying Chou volunteered to be the driver.

"After passing the fork ahead, we’ll be out of West Desolation City’s jurisdiction."

Ying Chou let out a breath of relief. Although they did not fear the people of West Desolation City, they still hoped to avoid trouble.

After all, smoothly leaving was their plan.

But plans never keep up with changes, and a team of cavalry sped up behind the carriage. They all rode on long-horned horned horses.

The long-horned horse is a type of horned horse, with sharper horns than ordinary horned horses. Its tail is covered in barbs.

"The carriage ahead, stop. Routine inspection."

Wang Buqun’s voice came from within the team.

The long-horned horses spread out, and atop a three-eyed black tiger, Wang Buqun glared with his triangular eyes at Ying Chou, who was driving.

Ying Chou’s eyes narrowed. Meng Liang was killed by Wang Buqun. Naturally, he was acquainted with Wang Buqun. He felt an impending sense of trouble but still pulled the reins of the Iron Hoof Beast pulling the carriage.

A cough came from inside the carriage. Ying Chou understood that it was Tang Ming inside, telling him not to worry.

Although Ying Chou didn’t know where Tang Ming got his courage, he still came to the front of the carriage.

"What have a few officers here to say? We are legitimate merchants."

Ying Chou smiled cheerfully at Wang Buqun.

But before he could finish his pleasantries, Wang Buqun waved a hand to interrupt; "Who are you kidding? A legitimate merchant? Do you think I’m blind? From a distance, I can smell the stink of foxes from Fox Spirit Mountain. People inside the carriage, come out and meet me, the Commander. I don’t ask for much, just leave that kid named Tang Ming, and I’ll let you go."

As soon as Wang Buqun’s voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly pulled down with a bang.

Wang Buqun and the garrison troops of West Desolation City behind him were startled, but looking inside, Wang Buqun’s eyebrows shot up.

Inside the carriage was only a woman who had just gotten out.

This woman, just by standing there, attracted the eyes of most of the garrison troops. These troops not only swallowed but also instinctively lowered their heads. Some couldn’t help but react.

"Oh, I didn’t know who it was. Turns out it was Commander Wang. If you like me, dear Commander, why not come find me at Fox Spirit Mountain? I’ll definitely take good care of you. What is the meaning of stopping us halfway and forcing marriage? So you say, should I comply or not?"

Hu Sanqiu twisted her slender waist and stared at Wang Buqun atop the three-eyed black tiger.

Not to mention those West Desolation City garrison troops on long-horned horses; even Wang Buqun felt he was losing control, wanting to rush over and embrace Hu Sanqiu.

A coughing sound came from the side. Consultant Guo Ming, sitting on a colorful deer, frowned. He had initially thought that at this time the carriage from Fox Spirit Mountain must have Tang Ming inside.

After all, with Fox Bachang’s intelligence, she would surely arrange for Tang Ming to move to another city and then claim that Tang Ming was never there.

That way, the previous slander from West Desolation City against Fox Spirit Mountain would crumble without a fight.

So recently, Consultant Guo Ming had his men keep an eye on Fox Spirit Mountain, with instructions to report immediately should anyone sneak out.

When Tang Ming’s carriage left Fox Spirit Mountain, Consultant Guo Ming received a secret report. They had inspected many carriages recently, all unrelated to Tang Ming.

Thinking of those troublesome foxes on Fox Spirit Mountain, Consultant Guo Ming usually chose to let them pass.

But then he got word about this previously unnoticed carriage.

Consultant Guo Ming’s men reported that this carriage wasn’t heading to West Desolation City but towards the West Desolation border, clearly intending to leave the city.

This news made Consultant Guo Ming’s eyes light up; he felt an opportunity had arrived.

If Fox Spirit Mountain dared claim Tang Ming wasn’t there, caught Tang Ming in hand, they would confront them with it.
