Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 358 Fatherly Love is Great
"How could I possibly feel sad for Fu Rou?" Mu Xu denied it almost subconsciously. He was extremely emotional. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "She is a monster who peels people's skin. How could I feel sad for a monster? Impossible!"

Seeing this, Yi Changle frowned. Looking at Mu Xu who was about to collapse, his curiosity about Mu Xu and Fu Rou's past disappeared completely at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Mu Xu calmed down a lot. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It was Fu Rou who trapped me in Fuxing City."

"Over the years, I have always wanted to escape from Fuxing City. I have escaped many times, but without exception, I was caught every time." Mu Xu rubbed his palms on his thighs, and said in a painful tone: "Even my legs were crippled by Fu Rou herself in order to prevent me from escaping."

At this point, Mu Xu couldn't help but squeeze his thighs, "Now that I can see Fu Rou get her retribution with my own eyes, I feel extremely excited! I feel so happy!"

But even though Mu Xu tried hard to control his emotions, the bulging veins on his hands still revealed his inner unrest.

Feeling the burning gazes focused on him, "You don't believe me?" Mu Xu sneered and asked, "Could it be that you would feel sad for a monster that peels human skin?"

"Of course not." Yi Changle answered very honestly, "It's just... love has always been the most unpredictable thing in the world. If one day the person I love suddenly turned into a monster, I might feel sad for him. After all, I have seen him when he was not a monster." Yi Changle answered cautiously, and deliberately put emphasis on the word "maybe".

"Feelings... feelings?" Mu Xu murmured, "Yes, feelings. Yi'er... Zhiyi is my blood. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could I have no feelings for her? Even if she..." Mu Xu closed his eyes in pain while speaking, "is a monster, but she still has my blood flowing in her veins."

Mu Xu did not hide his pain at all, even his eyelashes were trembling slightly. After a while, Mu Xu finally recovered. When he opened his eyes, he let out a tiny sigh, "I tried to stop Zhi Yi. No matter what she looks like, at least I don't want her to become a cruel monster like Fu Rou."

"But I... I was incompetent, so I couldn't stop her." Mu Xu kept looking at Huangshan in front of him, sadness evident in his eyes. "I brought her into the world. No matter what she did, I couldn't stop her. Fortunately, she didn't have time to kill anyone."

"Now, this is the best ending for her."

"You really don't have to feel guilty." Yi Changle comforted Mu Xu, "You were trapped in Fuxing City out of necessity. Although you and Zhiyi are related by blood, you are two different individuals. What she did was her own choice. You don't have to feel guilty for her choice."

"But I am her father after all." Mu Xu said sadly and regretfully: "If it weren't for me, Zhiyi wouldn't have come into the world. It was me who brought her into the world, but in the end, I did nothing for her."

"From the moment I entered Fuxing City, everything was a mistake. I shouldn't have come to Fuxing City." Mu Xu's eyes were red as he looked at the three young people he had never met before. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​confiding in them, "I did love Fu Rou deeply."

Kaitian's mouth opened slightly. He didn't expect Mu Xu to admit so openly that he fell in love with a monster. Yi Changle and Pei Enze didn't change their expressions, but they looked at Mu Xu more intently.

"For Fu Rou, I took the initiative to stay in Fuxing City. Not long after we got married, we had Zhi Yi. We lived happily until... I discovered Fu Rou's true face."

A mocking smile appeared on Mu Xu's lips. "The wife who has been in love with you for the rest of her life and has always slept beside you is actually a bloodthirsty monster with a pair of creepy yellow eyes. You have been kept in the dark and only found out after seven or eight years. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"But what's even more ridiculous is that after knowing the truth, I still love her." Mu Xu took a deep breath, "After seeing Fu Rou's true face, I calmed down for a while. Later, I told Fu Rou that if she could stop and leave Fuxing City with me, she and I could still be a loving couple like before. I don't want to care about her past. Since she has become my wife, she is my responsibility. As long as she stops hurting others, I will protect her no matter where she goes."

"But she rejected me."

Mu Xu spread out his hands and said in a casual tone: "You should all know what happened next. After being rejected by her, I started to run away, but she chased me until my legs were crippled and I was trapped in Fuxing City."

"You are the only mortal who has entered Fuxing City and is still alive." Yi Changle reminded.

Mu Xu raised his head, looked into Yi Changle's eyes, and admitted, "You're right, Fu Rou loves me too."

"If she hadn't loved me, I wouldn't have been alive until now." Mu Xu said frankly, "But if time could go back, I would rather have never met her."

Yi Changle turned around and looked towards Huangshan. "Everything related to Fuxing City is buried under the yellow sand. Now you are the only person in the world who knows about it."

"You want to silence me? No." Before Yi Changle could deny it, Mu Xu denied the idea himself, "If you want to kill me, there is no need to rescue me from Fuxing City."

"You have two choices." Yi Changle held up two fingers towards Mu Xu. "First, I will erase your memory. From now on, you will forget everything about Fuxing City, Furou and Zhiyi. Second, I will put a silence spell on you. You will still remember Fuxing City and Furou, but you cannot mention the past about Fuxing City to anyone."

Yi Changle slowly put down his finger and said sincerely: "I suggest you choose the first one. People who remember everything are always the most tired. Regret and guilt will always accompany you. Only by forgetting the bad things can you usher in a new life."

Mu Xu hesitated and said, "But if even I forget about them, then they really don't exist anymore."

“They shouldn’t exist.”

Mu Xu still hesitated.

"Before you make a choice, I have something to give you." Yi Changle paused, then continued, "Perhaps these things can help you make a choice." After Yi Changle finished speaking, he waved at Mu Xu's legs and said softly, "Now, stand up and try."

After Yi Changle waved his hand, Mu Xu felt some warmth in his legs, but the warmth was fleeting.

Mu Xu supported himself on the armrest of the wheelchair with doubt. When he put a little force on his feet, he couldn't believe that after so many years, he felt the existence of his legs again. "I! I can really... really stand up!"

Mu Xu was obviously very excited about being able to stand again.

"Huh?" Mu Xu's excitement had not yet faded when a bulging package suddenly appeared in front of him. The package was so bulging that it was obvious that a lot of things were stuffed in it.

"This?" Mu Xu looked at Yi Changle who handed over the package and asked, "What is it?"

"This is what you deserve." Yi Changle stuffed the package into Mu Xu's arms and said, "Open it and take a look."

Mu Xu hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it. After receiving the package, Mu Xu staggered two steps helplessly and almost fell down, because the package was so heavy that Mu Xu had never imagined.

"What's in it? Why is it so heavy?" Mu Xu carefully placed the package on the wheelchair and opened it as he spoke.

The golden light in front of him blinded Mu Xu's eyes. "This, this, this..." Mu Xu's fingers were shaking as he pointed at the package. If you ask what is the most abundant thing in Fuxing City, gold is the most abundant. Although Fuxing City was buried under the yellow sand, the gold was not buried with Fuxing City. Mu Xu was imprisoned in Fuxing City for so long. The years he missed and the damage he suffered physically and mentally, only money can make up for it. So Yi Changle gave Mu Xu a bag of solid gold, enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes.

Seeing Mu Xu's appearance, Yi Changle sincerely suggested again: "Now that you have money and a healthy body, forgetting the unpleasant past should be a good choice."

"Forgetting the past is indeed a good choice..." After careful consideration, Mu Xu decided: "I choose the Silence Spell."

Mu Xu's final choice surprised everyone.

"Are you sure? Have you really thought it through?" Kaitian couldn't help but ask for confirmation. "Remembering them won't do you any good in the future."

"As a father, I can't possibly choose to forget my daughter." Mu Xu used just one sentence to dispel the idea of ​​Yi Changle and the other two trying to persuade him.

"In that case, then let's do as you wish." Yi Changle looked at Pei Enze. After all, this matter concerned the Celestial Clan, and the silencing spell was cast by Pei Enze himself, so he should feel more at ease.

After seeing what Yi Changle was thinking, Pei Enze asked helplessly: "Based on the relationship between you and me, can I still doubt you?"

Yi Changle shrugged, "Who can tell what will happen in the future?"

Yi Changle knew how to make people angry. After she said that, Pei Enze's eyes became even more helpless. He shook his head, formed a seal and cast a spell. A ray of white light flew from Pei Enze's hand towards Mu Xu's forehead. The moment the white light disappeared, the silencing spell was completed.

……

In the underworld, there is an unwritten but well-known rule: when Lord Yama is sleeping, you must never disturb him even if the Three Realms are about to perish, otherwise you will disappear faster than the Three Realms.

The King of Hell was sleeping soundly that day, but the door of his bedroom, which was always guarded, was opened at will. The silver light from outside was not blocked and shone directly into the King of Hell's eyes.

The King of Hell frowned, stretched out his hand to block the silver light, and asked in a bad tone, as if he had been woken up: "What happened?"

No one answered.

Not getting a response, the King of Hell put his hand down, opened his eyes unhappily, and saw a tall shadow at the entrance.

When the King of Hell fell asleep, he was used to the darkness of the room. The man was facing away from the light and his features could not be seen clearly. The King of Hell said with a sullen face while casting a spell to light the candle: "Who are you? How dare you disturb my rest? Do you want to be killed?"

Still no response.

But when the candlelight illuminated, the King of Hell looked up again and saw a face that was very familiar to him. He stammered, "Madam? Madam? Your Highness? What brings you to the underworld?"

The candlelight only illuminated the lower half of Pei Enze's face, revealing his clean-cut edges and corners, but the King of Hell was in no mood to appreciate the man's beauty. At this moment, he felt that Pei Enze, dressed in black and expressionless, looked more like the King of Hell than himself.

……

Pei Enze had just separated from Yi Changle and Kaitian not long ago. After saying goodbye to Fuxing City, he almost didn't take a breath and went straight to the underworld.

Just when he arrived at the door of the King of Hell's bedroom, Pei Enze heard deafening shouts coming from inside the bedroom. Pei Enze became even more angry. He ran around everywhere to deal with these troubles, but the people who did these troubles were sleeping soundly without any worries.

……

"Your Highness, what's the urgent matter that brings you here so late at night?" Thinking of the offensive words he had said to Pei Enze before, the King of Hell wanted to slap himself in the face. The King of Hell acted humble and fawning, just hoping that Pei Enze would show mercy and let him go.

"You still have the nerve to ask me?" The chill emanating from Pei Enze made the King of Hell shiver involuntarily.

"I don't know what I did wrong, but since Your Highness said I was wrong, then I was wrong." The King of Hell bent his waist even lower, "But I would like Your Highness to explain my mistakes clearly."

"I will change it immediately, right now." The King of Hell was very respectful and lowered himself even lower to the dust.

Pei Enze's face showed obvious sarcasm, and he asked, "Do you really not know what you have done?"

"I really don't know." The King of Hell kept his head down and missed the sneer on Pei Enze's face.

"King of Hell, I didn't know you were so bold that you dared to imprison innocent souls without telling any living beings in the three realms!" Pei Enze shouted harshly.

"Imprisoning innocent souls?" The King of Hell looked puzzled, then the flattering look on his face faded a little, and he said seriously: "Your Highness, did you recognize the wrong person? I am in charge of the underworld, and I have always been conscientious. All souls who come to the underworld and commit crimes are imprisoned in the eighteen levels of hell according to the degree of their evil deeds. As for the innocent souls, they are all in order, waiting to drink Meng Po soup and reincarnate."

"I would never, and will not, imprison innocent souls," the King of Hell promised.

"Really? What about the underground gold mine in Fuxing City?"

The King of Hell's eyes darkened and he denied, "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are talking about. But since it concerns the soul, you can go ask Siming."

Pei Enze laughed when he heard it, "Indeed, there are only two people in the Three Realms who control the fate of mortals, one is you, and the other is Siming. Siming uses the fate book to control the life trajectory of mortals, and you use the fate book to control the life and death of mortals."

The King of Hell immediately said, "Every mortal's life span is fixed. As long as you have the life-saving book in your hand, anyone can see the time of a mortal's life and death."

"You want to blame everything on Siming? Is this the method you came up with?" Pei Enze narrowed his eyes, "But Siming is my man."
