Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 357: Destroying the City (4)

"Old..." Pei Enze dragged out his tone in disbelief and confirmed with Yi Changle: "Madam?" Pei Enze didn't understand why there was an old man involved.

Yi Changle opened her red lips slightly and explained: "This matter...is a long story."

"Let's make it short." Pei Enze's face was full of anticipation. As expected, the saying 'human nature is gossip' also applies to the Celestial Clan.

Yi Changle pinched her brows and reminded silently: "No matter how curious you are, you have to pay attention to the occasion." After all, when she was in the human world, Yi Changle had been Pei Enze's sister for a period of time, so when she spoke, Yi Changle unconsciously carried a hint of teaching.

"Okay." Pei Enze waved his hand obediently and didn't ask any more questions.

……

"You...you?" Pei Enze's attitude towards Yi Changle made the three people from Fuxing City feel weird. Why would a dignified Celestial Clan be so...obedient to his personal attendant? That's right, obedient! Fuzhu didn't expect that she would associate Pei Enze with the word obedient, but with Pei Enze's slightly lowered eyes at this time, there was an indescribable harmony.

"You can't be just a servant." Fuzhu looked at Yi Changle inquiringly, with some certainty in his eyes, "You must have another identity, or in other words, who are you?" Fuzhu thought, since Pei Enze could show this attitude, he must be a well-known figure in the Three Realms.

Fuzhu is about to die, so she can't be left with so many questions. Yi Changle curled his lips, with some regret in his tone, "Miss Fuzhu, how could you forget about me so quickly? Didn't you say before that you wanted to be with the four of us?"

Kaitian covered his face with his open hands. He didn't expect that Yi Changle would say this matter so openly. At this moment, he just wanted to disappear on the spot.

"Four people... go?" Pei Enze's pupils trembled, and he asked anxiously: "What four people go? Who do you want to go with? How do you want to go with four people?"

However, Pei Enze's series of questions were completely ignored by Yi Changle.

"Young Master." Yi Changle's eyes were fixed on Fuzhu, who was staring at Yi Changle, as if she wanted to stare a bloody hole in her body. "Who are you?"

Fuzhu is not stupid. He was the one who entered Fuxing City, he was the one who entered the underground gold mine, and he is the one who accompanies the Crown Prince of the Celestial Clan. Fuzhu intuitively feels that the root of all problems must be this "young master".

Yi Changle smiled and said without questioning: "Miss Fuzhu, there is always karma in this world. Fuxing City has been stained with blood, so it must be punished."

Fuzhu said hatefully: "I didn't expect that it was me who harmed Fuxing City." In the end, she still didn't tell anyone what happened underground.

"Young Master Tian." Zhi Yi had a sad face. She looked like she was more devastated than Fu Zhu. Her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. She could only cover her chest helplessly. "You lied to me? I trusted you so much, but you lied to me!"

Kaitian just wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Zhiyi bit her lip and asked unwillingly: "Have you ever been moved by me?"

Hearing this, Furou and Fuzhu both widened their eyes. Furou pulled on the hem of Zhiyi's skirt and sighed, "It's already this time, and you still have the mood to ask this?" Furou felt that if Zhiyi really had some friendship with the servant beside Pei Enze, he should use this friendship to ask for a chance to let Fuxing City go instead of forcing an answer.

"I must have an answer." Zhiyi insisted.

Kaitian couldn't stand the way Zhiyi looked at him, as if he was a heartless man, and said coldly: "Never."

"Not even a little bit, right?" Zhi Yi said unwillingly.

"No." Kaitian did not hesitate and was very eager to distance himself from Zhiyi.

Zhiyi's face was pale and the atmosphere of despair filled the entire study.

……

Yi Changle raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes fell on Fu Rou, and she broke the silence in the study, "Now, it's Lord Fu's turn to answer."

"Answer what?" Fu Rou was puzzled, and her tone was even more unfriendly, "Don't you already know what you should know? What else do you want to know?"

"Lucky Star God." Yi Changle pretended to be curious. "Except for your place, I have never heard of the name of Lucky Star God anywhere else. But since he has divine power and is worshipped by people, he should have left some traces. Perhaps, Lucky Star God has other names?"

"No." Fu Rou was very decisive and obviously didn't want to continue this topic.

"Really?" Yi Changle did not force it, but said regretfully: "That's such a pity. There is no one behind Fuxing City. It's a dead end no matter how you look at it."

Fu Rou was so angry that her body shook. "In Fuxing City..." Fu Rou took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and then pleaded, "There are still some children. They have done nothing wrong, and they have no idea what happened in Fuxing City. The only thing they did wrong was that they were born into the wrong family. Your Highness, can you please spare them?"

"Besides..." Fu Rou lowered her eyes slightly, so that no one could see her expression. She said calmly, "There is another living mortal in Fuxing City, his name is Mu Xu..."

"Mother!" Fuzhu didn't expect that even at this time, Furou still wanted to save the man.

"I have imprisoned him for ten years." Fu Rou was not affected by Fu Zhu and continued, "He is innocent. Before you attack Fuxing City, remember to release him. If possible... don't tell him about the destruction of the city."

"Why..." Zhiyi's eyes regained clarity, revealing confusion: "I thought you hated him, so you crippled his legs and made him live without self-esteem, but in the end, you actually wanted to let him go, why?"

"Why else?" Bok Joo sneered, "Because his mother loves him."

"She loves him?" Zhi Yi's pupils shook helplessly, and she retorted: "How is it possible? If my mother...if the city lord loves my father, how could she cripple his legs? Even forbid me to step into the city lord's mansion at will?"

"I..." Fu Rou wanted to explain something, but she couldn't refute what she had done, and in the end she was left powerless.

Fuzhu saw all of Furou's actions, and the corners of her mouth raised wider towards Zhiyi, "You also find it incredible, right? Someone like our mother can actually give her heart to someone?"

Zhiyi just remained silent, but her silence said it all; she agreed with Fuzhu's words.

Fu Rou was hurt by Zhi Yi's attitude and argued, "I do love your father, and I had to cripple his legs... If I didn't do it, he would lose his life."

But Zhiyi remained silent. "You don't believe me?" Furou frowned and opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Fuzhu sighed, took over the conversation, and said to Zhiyi sincerely: "Mother not only loves your father, she also loves you. You should believe her."

"Love me?" Zhiyi pointed at herself in disbelief, and then laughed as if she had heard a huge joke, "Fuzhu, are you crazy? How could she love me? How could she love me? She clearly regards me as a shame!"

"Mother really loves you." Fuzhu was a little helpless, "Do you know what Fuxing City lacks the most?"

"What do you need?" Zhiyi asked tentatively, "A man?"

Hearing this, Kaitian immediately tightened his collar, which was already as tight as it could be.

Fuzhu took a deep breath and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Before the atmosphere in the study became even stranger, she quickly gave the answer, "It's freedom. Mother has been trapped in Fuxing City for her entire life. She knows very well that what Fuxing City lacks most is freedom, so she named you Zhiyi, which represents the freedom she longs for the most."

"You are the child she gave birth to with the man she loves most in her life, how could she not love you?" There was no more jealousy in Fuzhu's eyes, only relief instead, "You feel that she is not close to you, but she has been quietly accompanying you to grow up in a place you can't see. She didn't allow you to enter the City Lord's Mansion, and didn't let you have the last name Fu, just because she didn't want you to bear the burden of Fuxing City. Everything she did was to protect you."

Zhiyi stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Fu Rou, who was originally concentrating on Zhi Yi, looked at Fu Zhu in disbelief. She didn't expect Fu Zhu to know all these things so clearly. She asked carefully: "Zhu Er, when did you know these things?"

The guilt on Furou's face was clear. Fuzhu turned away uncomfortably and said in a muffled voice, "I knew it a long time ago. When I was about five or six years old, I caught you hiding in the dark and peeking at Zhiyi. From then on, I vaguely understood that I was just a chess piece to you. The daughter you really cared about was Zhiyi. You didn't get close to her in order to protect her."

"Zhu'er, I..." Fu Rou wanted to explain something, but no matter what kind of explanation it was, it seemed pale and powerless at this moment. After a moment, all the words in Fu Rou's heart were gathered into one sentence, "You are also my daughter, how could I not love you?"

"You are such a failure as a mother." Zhi Yi snorted coldly, and the coldness on her face faded a little when she looked at Fu Zhu. "I heard about these things for the first time today. If the facts are really as you said, you must have had a hard time these years."

"You've had a hard time these years, too..." Bok Joo lowered her voice.

Fu Rou's face showed even more guilt. "I am sorry for you. It's all my fault."

Zhiyi sniffed and pretended to be generous and extended her hand to Fuzhu, "Since you've worked hard, I've worked hard too, so let's put the past behind us and get to know each other again, okay?"

……

Yi Changle and the other two didn't expect that when they came to destroy a city, they would see such a big drama, such a tortuous plot, and finally have a happy ending.

"Pa pa pa." When his eyes fell on Zhiyi and Fuzhu's holding hands, Yi Changle couldn't help but applaud, "The love between you sisters is really touching."

Zhiyi's eyes flashed with joy, and she and Fuzhu asked in unison: "What about the destruction of the city?"

"Of course it is urgent." Yi Changle answered without hesitation, and then turned his gaze to Pei Enze.

Pei Enze took a step forward and looked at Fu Rou. "As you said, the children in Fuxing City didn't do anything. But rather than saying they didn't do anything, it's better to say they didn't have time to do anything."

Pei Enze watched the light of hope in Fu Rou's eyes die out bit by bit, and remained indifferent. "Since you want to atone for your sins to those who were skinned by you, they will die anyway."

"But they are still children." Fu Rou said hoarsely: "They are just children..."

"You should be thankful that they are still children!" Pei Enze said sternly, "If there were no children in Fuxing City, I would have destroyed Fuxing City with my magic power! Destroy this evil place!"

"But you didn't..." Fu Rou was not stupid enough to let things take a turn for the better, "Why?"

“Because the men of Fuxing City cannot have children.” Kaitian said in a deep voice, “As long as Fuxing City is sealed, people outside can’t get in, and people inside can’t get out, then you will all die.”

"Although I said I would destroy the city, I didn't say now." Pei Enze smiled strangely at Fu Rou, "I will extend your lifespan, and let you watch your children grow old, watch your people die one by one, watch the yellow-eyed monsters go to destruction, and Fuxing City fall, but you have no way to do anything. Only in this way can I kill you."

Fu Rou was trembling all over. She fell to the ground helplessly, but neither Fu Zhu nor Zhi Yi reached out to her. She crawled to Pei Enze's feet, stretched out her hand and carefully pulled the corner of Pei Enze's robe, "You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me..."

Pei Enze took a quick step back, avoiding Fu Rou's pull. He looked at Fu Rou with extreme disgust and then looked away, "Let's go."

"Tian..." Zhiyi was about to try to keep him, but saw Kaitian disappear before her eyes.

Bok Joo saw everything and comforted her, "Sister, we were born to be different people."

"Yes." Zhiyi looked at the place where Kaitian disappeared and murmured, "He and I were born to be different people."

……

Outside the wall of Fuxing City, a red barrier was slowly built out of the yellow sand. After the barrier completely enveloped Fuxing City, the yellow sand in the sky moved towards the barrier until it was completely covered. A yellow mountain rose in its place, and there was no trace of Fuxing City anymore.

……

Mu Xu watched with his own eyes as Fuxing City was covered by yellow sand bit by bit. When Fuxing City completely disappeared, he suddenly grasped the armrest of the wheelchair, his eyes red, "Are they dead?"

"Not dead." Pei Enze announced expressionlessly, "But it's no different from being dead. After today, there will be no Fuxing City in the world."

"They..." Mu Xu's veins popped up on his hands, and he looked like he was holding his breath. "That's good. Finally, there are no more harmful monsters in the world."

Although Mu Xu's tone was casual, the three people present could see his pain.

"You are sad." Yi Changle said, "You finally escaped from the cage that trapped you, but you are heartbroken to see the cage destroyed. Are you only sad for Zhiyi? Or are you also sad for Furou?"
