It's time to become a fairy.

The first thing he saw was a burly man, nearly two meters tall, who was clutching his cloak and staring at him with a look of astonishment on his face.

Soon, the initial astonishment turned into greed, as if they had seen some rare treasure, and shouts came from the side.

Ye Qingge instinctively sensed something was wrong and was about to turn and retreat when she suddenly felt a sense of weakness within her body.

An indescribable hunger spread throughout her body, soaking her back in cold sweat. She almost lost her footing and collapsed weakly.

But this was not what Ye Qingge cared about most.

What she cared about most was the unique sensation from the ears on her head and the tail behind her, a sensation completely different from when she was a human.

Based on what the people around her said, Ye Qingge quickly understood her situation, and her face immediately darkened: "The Fairy Exchange System promised me that it would give me difficult tasks during the exchange process, but this time I'm not even human anymore?"

"Where is the fairy we were promised?!"

After calming her chaotic emotions, Ye Qingge gradually adjusted to the feeling of hunger in her body. Before she could even make a move, a cry of alarm suddenly rang in her mind: "Watch out!"

Before her, a burly man clutching the hood of his trench coat grinned maliciously. He had somehow produced a large axe and was about to cleave it down at Ye Qingge.

At the same time, he used his other hand to pull Ye Qingge in front of him and kill her with an axe!

Chapter 9 Heavenly Emperor's Bloodline

Swoosh

The sound of air being cut rang out, and spiritual energy was contained in the axe. The burly man did not hold back at all, and his chilling killing intent locked onto Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge's eyes gradually turned cold. She had died ninety-nine times on the Empress. Due to the limitations of the system, she might not be able to learn skills, but she had already developed a strong combat awareness!

Her petite figure suddenly shrank down, emerging directly from the trench coat. She grabbed the two corners of the coat with both hands and pulled it up, covering the burly man's head. With her other body, she nimbly lunged to the side, dodging the burly man's axe.

bang

The axe slammed into the ground, and the fat shopkeeper's angry roar, slamming the table, rang out from the counter not far away: "Qi Laosan, are you tired of living? Coming to my Qi Shui Lou to cause trouble, aren't you afraid of ending up in the city's stinking ditch tomorrow?"

A burst of laughter erupted from all around.

Many curious glances fell on the burly man, who snorted coldly, casually tossed aside Ye Qingge's trench coat, and glared angrily at Ye Qingge.

In a short time, Ye Qingge had arrived at a corner. While moving quickly and nimbly avoiding the attacks of several greedy people nearby, she quickly surveyed the entire area, taking in the appearance of the whole place.

This is an exquisitely designed ancient-style restaurant. In the main hall, many people are dressed in brocade cotton clothes and exude a faint spiritual pressure. They are obviously cultivators. Among them, many people have a dignified aura, which makes Ye Qingge feel a slight sense of crisis.

Among them, the biggest threat to Ye Qingge was the fat shopkeeper behind the counter who was angrily slamming the counter, preparing to deal with Qi Laosan, and a man in a trench coat wearing a straw hat and calmly drinking in the hall.

It was precisely because of these two people that she dared not be distracted by checking the system's prompts. While keeping a close eye on their movements, she tried her best to adapt to her new body.

In comparison, the burly man she had previously referred to as Qi Laosan was nothing to her.

"If this were the Empress's body, I could kill everyone here with a single sword strike!"

A thoughtful look flashed in Ye Qingge's eyes as she analyzed to herself, "Even if I fully unleash the power of this body, I can easily deal with most of the people here. Only the shopkeeper and that man in the trench coat will be a bit more troublesome."

"Unfortunately, I've only just possessed this body and haven't fully mastered its physical form and supernatural powers yet, so it's not advisable to confront them head-on for the time being. The most urgent thing is to solve my hunger problem, then find a place to hide temporarily, and then carefully assess the condition of this body!"

She used the breathing techniques from the Hongmeng Daoist Classic to adjust her physical condition, striving to maintain her peak physical state while waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"You beast, die!"

Not far away, amidst the jeers of the crowd, Qi Laosan's face turned red at a visible speed, his eyes flashing with anger. He swung his giant axe and attacked her again.

Ye Qingge remained incredibly calm. Her hands transformed into fox claws, and she seized the opportunity to unleash her power. Her body moved with the agility of a nimble cat, easily leaping over Qi Laosan's giant axe. She grabbed the trench coat Qi Laosan had casually tossed aside and draped it over her shoulders, concealing her prominent pink fox ears and tail. She then snatched a chicken leg from the servant's plate and shoved it into her mouth, ignoring the bone, and began to chew voraciously.

The restaurant's cooking of ingredients was rather crude, completely lacking the flavor of later generations. However, for a hungry body, it was undoubtedly a rare delicacy!

A faint sense of satisfaction rose within me, but it quickly vanished, transforming into an even stronger feeling of hunger.

Having learned from her previous experience, Ye Qingge continued to use the breathing technique from the Hongmeng Dao Scripture, quickly suppressing the fluctuations in her body. She then flew towards the other servants holding trays, snatched the food from their hands, and stuffed it into her mouth.

This restaurant is very large; there are no fewer than a hundred tables in the main hall alone, and nearly ten waiters.

Ye Qingge moved very quickly. In just a few breaths, she snatched all the newly served food from the servants' hands. After swallowing all the food, she felt that the hunger in her stomach had dissipated by more than half.

In just a few moments, the entire scene had descended into chaos.

Amid the chaos, several figures even quietly disappeared, sending intelligence to their respective factions.

Not far away, the fat shopkeeper also noticed the situation and walked quickly towards them with a gloomy face. However, he maintained the speed of an ordinary person, as if he were just an angry shopkeeper with a little cultivation. He did not show any strength that could threaten Ye Qingge.

The man in the trench coat on the other side calmly drank his beverage, unmoved.

Ye Qingge didn't know why the two weren't making a move, but that didn't stop her from continuing.

nimbly dodging the attacks of several men, Ye Qingge arrived in front of Qi Laosan, the burly man who had grabbed her trench coat earlier, intending to kill her. She gathered her demonic power and unleashed her Fire Element Divine Power. With a smile, she said, "Here's a gift for you."

Qi Laosan, who was originally in a state of extreme rage, suddenly froze, as if he had seen some exquisite treasure. A look of intoxication appeared on his face, and he subconsciously asked, "Wh-what gift?"

His response was a fireball.

Ye Qingge's physical cultivation level was not high enough to unleash the Fire Element Divine Power. This was the first time Ye Qingge had used the Fire Element Divine Power since acquiring it.

Despite using demonic power, the effect of the fire elemental divine power was in no way weak. The scorching flames instantly wrapped around Qi Laosan's body. He suddenly snapped out of his dazed state, but it was too late.

The scorching flames spread upwards from his right hand, impossible to shake off. Qi Laosan screamed madly as he ran around frantically, but strangely, the flames did not touch any other objects, and the entire scene descended into chaos.

"Kill! Murder!"

"The fox demon has killed someone! Quickly, go and get the guards!"

"Quickly, go and invite the City Lord! The City Lord is a true immortal appointed by the Heavenly Court, a being who has stepped into the Dao Realm. He can definitely kill this damned fox demon!"

The scene was in complete chaos. The man in the trench coat, who had been calmly drinking, suddenly stood up, casually tossed down a few spirit stones, and walked out.

While the portly innkeeper hurriedly stopped his servants from calming the guests, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

……

……

In the eastern part of the city, in a slightly dilapidated alley

Ye Qingge, wearing a trench coat, appeared here. She skillfully slipped into an empty, dilapidated house, then breathed a sigh of relief. With a slight thought, she brought up the system panel.

The next moment, countless system messages flashed before my eyes.

Fairy Exchange System

[Exchange Partner: Nine-Tailed Fox Demon]

[Background: One hundred and twenty years ago, the Heavenly Emperor took the ruler of Qingqiu into his harem and bestowed upon her the title of Consort Su. A year ago, the previous Heavenly Emperor died unexpectedly. The new Heavenly Emperor investigated the cause of death and, half a year ago, announced to the world that Consort Su was responsible for the old Heavenly Emperor's death. Based on this, he issued the Qingqiu Extinction Order, banishing all Qingqiu foxes.]

[Emergency status detected for the swapped object. Emergency mission initiated!]

[Urgent Mission: As a descendant of Consort Su, while fleeing to Qingzhou City, less than a city's distance from Consort Su's rear guard and within the territory of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, your identity was unexpectedly discovered. Survive the pursuit and safely reach the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's territory to complete the mission!]

[Task Rewards: 3000 points, Soul Devouring Technique]

Name: Su Qing'er

[Bloodline: Heavenly Emperor Bloodline, Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Bloodline]

[Cultivation Level: First Level of Dao Realm]

[Skills: Charm (Great Perfection), Demon God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial God Transformation (Great Perfection), Celestial Fox Demon Fire (Great Perfection), Soul Devouring Technique (Great Perfection)...]

[Status: Sealed (Strength reduced by 70% in all aspects, normal cultivation level remains at the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm)]

Compared to before, this time the system panel has an additional background introduction, which should be the effect after the system is officially launched. The rewards are also much higher than before, and the personal panel has also changed significantly, with the status of the possessed object now displayed in the last column.

This layer of seal is quite special. Normally, cultivators at the Immortal Realm, even those at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness Realm, wouldn't need to eat. However, with the power of the seal weakened, the effects of all skills were suppressed to varying degrees, and some were even impossible to use. Eating was one of the skills that was suppressed, resulting in a lack of energy in the body.

Ye Qingge carefully browsed through the system panel, confirming the information of the possessed object, especially the background and bloodline section, and her pupils contracted slightly: "The former Heavenly Emperor died suddenly, and the new Heavenly Emperor quickly determined that Consort Su was responsible after a simple investigation. In addition, the bloodline of this body is obviously that of the former Heavenly Emperor and Consort Su."

"There's probably a lot of something fishy going on here!"

"However, none of this matters to me for now. The most urgent thing is how to leave this city and get to the so-called territory of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

Ye Qingge felt the power sealed within her body and pondered how to escape the city. However, the voice from before rang in her mind again.

"Excuse me... who are you?"

Chapter 10 The Fox Demon's Chaos

Her voice was soft and sweet, reminiscent of some cute little animals, giving the impression that she was easy to bully.

Ye Qingge raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking who you are? What's your name?"

"Su Qing'er." Su Qing'er pondered for a moment and felt that Ye Qingge's words made a lot of sense.

She continued, "So what's your name, and how did you get into my body?"

Ye Qingge smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

How could you do this?

Su Qing'er's tone was dissatisfied.

After teasing Su Qing'er for a few moments, Ye Qingge quickly composed herself and got down to business: "You can just call me Qing. As for how to enter your body, I'll keep that a secret for now... How much do you know about this city?"

Su Qing'er snorted softly, clearly still somewhat resentful of Ye Qingge's teasing, but still honestly said, "This city is called Qingzhou City, a city of cultivators close to the power of the Great Sage of Heaven's demon race. The city lord is one of the righteous gods appointed by the Heavenly Court, with the cultivation of the first level of the Dao Realm, in order to prevent surprise attacks from the demon race forces."

"The majority of the city's population consists of cultivators, and even the families of the remaining cultivators mostly possess cultivation levels."

"On the surface, Qingzhou City is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, serving as the boundary and bridgehead between the Heavenly Court and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. In reality, many people in the city are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's men; the fat innkeeper in the restaurant just now was one of them..."

Through Su Qing'er's description, Ye Qingge gradually formed a concept of the city in her mind.

A city located at the border between the demon race and the cultivators' forces should have been the vanguard for cultivators and even humans in their fight against the demon race, but it has been almost completely infiltrated by the demon race.

"Doesn't the Heavenly Emperor care about these things?"

Ye Qingge couldn't help but ask.

Su Qing'er sneered: "The dog Heavenly Emperor can't even fully manage the Heavenly Court, how could he have time to manage worldly affairs?"

Ye Qingge nodded. Based on the information provided by the system, this Heavenly Emperor was probably not legitimately enthroned.

However, these were not things Ye Qingge needed to consider at the moment. She asked a few more questions about Qingzhou City, saying, "Are you familiar with the layout of this city?"

Su Qing'er said, "In the bag on the right, there is a city layout map given by the shopkeeper, as well as a large map of Dongzhou."

When the conversation turned to serious matters, her tone became soft and gentle, giving the impression that she was easy to bully.

Ye Qingge then noticed a well-hidden pouch on her right arm, covered with intricate patterns that seemed to contain spatial variations, allowing it to hold more things.
