I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"Why did you stop me?" he asked sadly.

"I heard that you have a good reputation," Jiang Ke'er fiddled with his knife, "As the prefect of Jinguan City, you must put the empire first. No personal feelings can shake your decision. This should be the oath you swore on the day you took office."

"That's right." The prefect lowered his head and looked at the ground in a daze, "I have failed in my mission."

"But the Tang Dynasty has its own laws to punish the mistakes you made. The punishment you deserve should be determined by the law, not by your own arbitrary decision."

Jiang Ke'er glanced at the many mournful officers and guards around her and sighed, "You have been an honest official over the years and are deeply loved by your subordinates and the people. Jinguan City is well organized under your governance and no major chaos has ever occurred."

The prefect looked stunned: "But I can't save them..."

"At least your merits and demerits will offset each other, so you won't be punished too severely," Jiang Ke'er said. "Your Majesty will spare your death penalty because of your contributions to the empire. I guess the most you'll get is dismissal and you'll be sent home to farm."

"So what?" the prefect laughed bitterly. "Without Chun'er and Lian'er, what's the point of living? They are afraid of the dark, so I will accompany them to the underworld! At least in the underworld, they won't be frightened by the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon anymore!"

Hey! Jiang Keer was not happy to hear this.

"I see you have some problem with ghosts!" Jiang Ke'er hugged her chest angrily, "Besides, who said the Yellow Springs Road is dark? Do you really think that I'm a freeloader in the Underworld City Construction Bureau? Isn't the 80,000-mile-long lantern bright enough to dazzle your eyes?"

"..."

"Besides, if you don't like the bull-headed and horse-faced puppets, why don't you just ask them to take off their headgear? Do you think they would be willing to wear puppet costumes and be mascots in this hot weather? They just want to earn some hard-earned money as a part-time job! Please respect the working people!"

"???"

"Let's take a step back. Who said your wife and daughter would die?" Jiang Ke'er said angrily, "Do you really think you can go to Mingzhou whenever you want? Did I give you permission? Did you apply for a visa?"

34. Taibai's Invitation

Jiang Ke'er's soul-searching question made the prefect dizzy for a moment.

"But...but what else can we do?" the prefect cried, "With such a vast wilderness, if there is no one who knows the way, we may not be able to find them in ten years. And now the only person who knows the way is dead. It won't be long before they are eaten alive by insects..."

"Who said there is only one person who knows the truth?" Jiang Ke'er rolled her eyes without paying any attention to her image.

"Who else could it be? Lady, why are you playing tricks on me?" the prefect said with a wry smile.

Jiang Ke'er put her hands on her hips and said, "The person is gone, but there are bugs!"

"Bugs? What's the use of bugs knowing... eh???"

Before he finished speaking, the floating insect mist behind Jiang Ke'er suddenly surged.

Without Jiang Ke'er's instructions, they had already formed a black arrow shape, pointing to the southwest.

Then, as if they were quite angry at the prefect's contempt, some of them flew over and stung him, then made a middle finger gesture at him.

"They... have become spirits?!" The prefect was stunned. "All these insects have become spirits? Who... are you?"

"It's a long story. I won't explain to you about the spirit," Jiang Ke'er stood up.

While the prefect was in a daze, she had already collected all the remaining poisonous insects in her pocket.

What surprised her was that this guy also had the ability to lose weight.

The weight loss worms are actually transformed human skin bugs. Last time when we rescued people in the Chamber of Commerce, those human skin bug larvae were taken away by the government as evidence.

As a result, Jiang Keer's plan to develop weight-loss pills was forced to shelve.

Now I have these weight loss bugs... hehehe...

"Let's go. It must be not far from the city," Jiang Ke'er waved to the prefect. "It's impossible for this kind of trainer to fully convey his thoughts to the insects. He can only use the insects' pheromones and instincts to give them orders."

"So, your wife and daughter must be hiding nearby, in a place that constantly emits pheromones and can be sensed here at any time."

Facts have proved that Jiang Keer was right.

Not only is it true, but the truth is even more absurd.

——The location pointed by the arrow is just opposite the prefect’s residence.

The gates are facing each other, with only a five-meter-wide street blocking the way. You can even use a ladder to see what's happening at the opposite gate from the top of the wall.

"Wait a minute."

When he reached the door, the prefect took a step back in panic and covered his eyes with his sleeves.

"I don't want to see them being devoured by insects... Just tell me the result."

"Why are you panicking?" Jiang Ke'er pulled the prefect's arm away. "The situation was urgent just now. He didn't have time to spread the news of the murder... Besides, Miss Qiao can even sense the snakes in the house. She saved my life through the wall. Do you think she will let a bug slip through the net?"

Jiang Ke'er is quite confident in Sister Qiao Qianxue's ability.

After all, she had once performed a performance in front of him, where she used a straw to nail a mosquito to death in the air.

Jiang Keer believed that she had to at least reach the Three Talents realm to be able to do this so skillfully, and it also required consideration of factors such as the strength of her soul.

It can be seen that Qiao Qianxue's real strength is above the Three Talents Realm of cultivators.

Jiang Keer raised her hand, ready to grab the door handle and push him away.

"Buzzing—"

But at this moment, the mist-like swarm of insects suddenly became agitated.

They first stopped Jiang Ke'er's hand, and the other part quickly reorganized.

Even its body color changed, becoming a conspicuous warning red.

【Danger! 】

A blood-red word "danger" appeared above Jiang Ke'er's head.

"..."

The meaning is expressed so clearly.

So Jiang Keer stopped and frowned, thinking about what kind of mechanism the other party had left behind.

There is no poison on the handle.

Then there must be some trigger mechanisms hidden behind the door.

The opponent is an insect manipulator, so the method to open the mechanism should also be to use insects.

Sure enough, without waiting for Jiang Keer to give any order, the insect mist flew in from the wall on its own.

Soon there was a click from behind the door and the mechanism was released.

The door opened automatically, and the mist of insects behind the door formed a "come in" gesture.

——These little bugs are so sensible.

It's like my own warm and cozy little cotton-padded jacket!

Jiang Ke'er felt very proud, so she held her head high and marched into the yard, wagging her tail proudly.

After entering the door, Jiang Keer saw the broken pressure trigger mechanism.

If I had opened the door rashly, the mechanism would have cut a thin wire.

Once the thin wire breaks, the cage of carnivorous insects at the back will open instantly and eat the bound mother and daughter clean.

"Click——"

There was another sound of the mechanism popping open, and the little bugs flew into the inner room in the same way and disarmed the mechanism inside.

"Okay, it's safe." Jiang Ke'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chun'er! Lian'er!"

The prefect immediately rushed over crying.

The two women were tied together back to back.

But there were no scars on his body, his clothes were neat and tidy, and he had not suffered any torture.

The prefect hurriedly untied the ropes on his wife and daughter.

"Husband."

"Dad! I knew you would come to save us!"

The family finally hugged each other and cried. The fear they had felt for the past few days turned into relief and ecstasy at this moment.

I believe that no matter how much time has passed, they will never forget this day when they survived the disaster.

"It wasn't me who saved you, it was these two benefactors who saved you! Quick...quickly kowtow to the benefactors!"

The prefect quickly dragged his wife and daughter to kneel down and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Qianxue: "If it weren't for the two ladies, I would have made a big mistake and ended up living a life worse than death. I regret it... Thank you ladies for saving Zhao's family!"

"No, get up now."

Jiang Keer waved her hand.

She turned around and looked at the roads in the city with some emotion.

There is a silkworm basket at the door of every household.

The city is filled with the freshness of mulberry leaves.

The afterglow of dusk reflected the candlelight that had just been lit. The graceful girls stepped on the looms one by one, and their bare hands occasionally smoothed up their drooping hair, and their shadows were cast on the white window paper.

I came here in such a hurry that I had no mood to appreciate the scenery inside Jinguan City.

Now relax and take a look...what a soothing peace and tranquility it is.

Especially, for those tired caravans.

They have long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air and always being on guard against wild beasts and poisonous insects. As soon as they enter the city alleys, they will feel healed and warmed whole body.

The health bar and endurance bar quickly recovered to full value, and my mood became harmonious and beautiful in this peaceful atmosphere. The hostility in the mountains and fields was quickly dissipating.

And all of this... Lord Zhao, the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture, has made an indelible contribution.

After all, he brought long-term peace and prosperity to Jinguan City, and his contributions cannot be wiped out just because of his one dereliction of duty.

It's just that he really can't adapt to the current tense border situation.

He is a civil servant who is good at business, but he is too soft-hearted.

"I will draft a letter to Your Majesty, explaining exactly what happened here." Taibai said, "Before the new prefect arrives, Lord Zhao will continue to serve as the prefect, and the master will supervise from the side."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ke'er, his expression becoming solemn and serious.

"Now that we have time, lady, are you willing to have a drink with me under the moonlight?"

35. I was so stupid when I patted my head

Qingfenggang.

This is the name of a mountain road outside Jinguan City, and it is also the first-class private room of the largest restaurant in Jinguan City.

"Master Taibai! And Miss Jiang, Miss Qiao! Come on, come on, come this way~"

The names of Jiang Shuishui and Qiao Qianxue spread throughout Jinguan City almost instantly. Through word of mouth, even their physical features became known to everyone.

He was a man who decided the outcome of the fight with just one move, and saved Master Taibai and Jinguan City at the critical moment of life and death!

Even the world-famous hero Taibai bowed to them and expressed his gratitude.

What a face this is!

At least I can eat and dine for free in the future, every penny saved counts - Jiang Keer thought.

After all, she wanted to save more money for milk powder for her and Qiao Xiaoxian's future child.

When you are the top, you always have to bear more pressure in life so that you can be confident and strong in front of the other party.

Well... although there is still no plan to marry the God King, Jiang Ke'er has already started thinking about raising children after marriage.

If a fox does not think about the future, he will surely have immediate worries. He should think about all the matters after marriage first, so as not to be in a hurry after marrying Qiao Xiaoxian.

Li Taibai looked at Jiang Ke'er's daydreaming look and for a moment he didn't know how to start talking.

This little girl who I feel quite close to...why does she always seem a little out of place?
