The fighting spirit of several escort masters began to burn!
Guanyin did not forget anyone, she reminded:
"Remember to send a message to Master Chu of Lihuo Nation and Prince Jing'an's Mansion. I just don't know if he will make it in time."
Wardfa and others were impressed and said:
"Indeed, the Western Regions are vast, and it's easy for us to get lost in many places. We're worried he won't be able to find his way! We can't wait here for long, otherwise we won't be able to get to Tinglei Ridge in time."
Nan Hongsha looked at his fellow escorts in confusion. In the past, they had never thought of seeking external help. There were too many people coveting the Holy Fire Pearl. What if there was a traitor?
Looking at their expressions now, it seems that they are eager for this strange "Mr. Chu" to arrive immediately.
"Who is this Mr. Chu? He must be someone you met during your trip to Lihuo Country. How can you trust him so much? Or is he really that powerful, like a god?"
Hearing Nan Hongsha's question, the Western Region escorts, including Guanyin, all recalled the day in Jieshi City.
At the Sea Dragon King Priest Ceremony, a giant dragon suddenly appeared, and the whole city was in chaos. The young man in black robe had white hair, but his back was extremely straight as he rushed forward to face the giant dragon. With an ancient rusty spear in one hand and a simple knife blank in the other, he managed to kill the god-like giant dragon city lord of Jieshi City!
Later, he asked the elders of the Immortal Family to send them to the outskirts of Lihuojing City.
With such strength and background, and just in time to target the Scorpion Demon, there's no reason not to want his help.
Guanyin didn't know how to explain to Nan Hongsha, so she could only say:
"If you see him, you'll know how powerful he is. Hurry up and inform him. If Master Chu can make it, we'll have a powerful helper. If he can't, we'll have to rely on ourselves."

Prince Jing'an's Palace,
A falcon transformed from flames flew over the palace, then turned into a letter with smoldering embers and fell from the sky.
A cat was climbing up a tree branch, pooping with its fork split open, when it was suddenly hit on the tail by a fire book, and the whole cat jumped up.
The two little white foxes saw it, bit the fire book, and ran to Chu Wuzhi.
"You two...are you about to transform? I feel like you have quite a lot of spiritual energy."
Chu Wu Ji touched their little heads curiously. It was obvious that their fox mother did not give Chu Wu Ji this feeling. It seems that cultivation really needs to start from childhood.
A new brain is particularly useful when it comes to cultivation.
Chu Wuji's attention was focused on the flame of the letter. He had just thought that it was just two little guys playing with something.
"Where did you pick it up? There shouldn't be anything like this in the palace," he asked.
The little white fox is smart, but it can't speak yet and can only hold up its pink little paws.
"Did it fall from the sky?"
Chu Wuji muttered as he opened the letter. After a quick glance, he discovered that it was actually information sent by the escort from the Western Regions.
"I actually got some clues about the Scorpion Demon!"
Chu Wuji was surprised but also felt helpless because the Spring Festival was just around the corner.
If we set off for the Western Regions now, with the help of the Fox Goddess, we will definitely be able to reunite with the group of Western Regions escorts soon, but we don’t know how long it will take to deal with it over there.
Most likely I won’t be able to celebrate the Spring Festival with Yaoer and others.
The letter sent by Miss Guanyin also mentioned that their escort team would leave Huotang City in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. If Chu Wuji could catch up, they could go to Tinglei Ridge together to save the trouble of finding the way.
Isn't it just a few days away?
If it weren't for the Fox Goddess, Chu Wuji would have guessed that the matter with the Scorpion Demon was over, but he would still be asking for directions everywhere!
"After explaining the itinerary to Princess Jing'an and the others and apologizing, we should be leaving soon."
Chu Wuji put down the letter, turned around and walked to the bed, picked up the nine-tailed fox curled up in the quilt, and held her in his arms.
I don’t know if it’s because I feel sleepy in the deep winter, or for some other reason, but since the heavy snow covered the earth, the Sky Fox Goddess’s sleep time has become longer. She often curls up in her quilt in her fox form and sleeps for a long time.
If Chu Wuzhi didn't call her, she would basically just sleep all the time and not be as energetic as before.
"Goddess Sky Fox, can we go out for a walk?"
"Hmm? That's okay..." The big fox fairy yawned and licked the man's neck with her tongue.
Chapter 141: Master Yan Goes to Collect Herbs
Chu Wuji asked with a hint of worry:
"Goddess Sky Fox, are you feeling unwell? I feel like you've been in a much worse state of mind lately."
This was not the first time he asked this question. He had asked it once a few days ago, but at that time the Sky Fox Queen said it was nothing and she just wanted to sleep comfortably, so Chu Wuji did not take it to heart.
Because the princess, Yao'er and others also began to feel sleepy easily, they tended to take naps in the morning and were reluctant to get out of bed until noon.
If there were no heater to warm the room, I would probably not be able to break free from the confinement of the quilt until the afternoon.
The Fox Goddess nestled in his arms, her charming and beautiful face smiling, her captivating eyes narrowed slightly as she said:
"How could a slave feel unwell? I'm afraid a corpse wouldn't even feel unwell~"
Chu Wuji walked out of the old house and headed towards the palace. When he walked onto the street, outsiders could not see the existence of the Sky Fox Goddess, but could only see him holding something in his arms.
He stuffed the white fox into his clothes, and the Sky Fox Queen was afraid that his clothes would bulge out too much and look ugly, so she shrank her body again, making it only the size of a palm, quite small and delicate. In this way, she could lie between Chu Wuji's cross-lapel collar without bulging his clothes.
"Although the Sky Fox Goddess gave the same response each time I asked her twice, I still feel... your spirits have deteriorated considerably lately."
The fox girl knew that if she kept saying "it's okay", it would only make the child suspicious. She thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe it's really worse? I've lost interest in going out and playing, but I don't feel anything wrong."
"..."
Chu Wuji remained silent. Although his face showed no emotion, his worries remained unabated.
The matter of the Sky Fox Goddess was a confusing one. She didn't know why she was stranded, and naturally she didn't know whether she was "uncomfortable" or not.
He said, "Then let's just take this trip out to relax. Maybe the Sky Fox Goddess has just stayed in one place for too long."
"Is it possible that the Western Regions is the origin of that box of exotic clothes?"
"Yes! If we go there this time, even if we don't have time to go to the clothing store specifically, we can still take a look at the clothes of the women passing by and see if the workmanship of Hailan House is authentic enough."
When the box of clothes was mentioned, Goddess Tianhu picked out two pieces to wear, and then put them aside.
Clothes have to be tailor-made, but the clothes given by Hailan House are of standard size. Considering that women in the Western Regions are good at dancing and music, the skirts are made to fit the body more closely.
Otherwise, if the woman jumped a few times and revealed the two treasures in front of her, it would affect the reputation of the host family.
This was the situation when the Fox Goddess wore it before. She swung a few times in Chu Wuzhi's arms, and the gauze on her upper body broke open.
I never fiddled with that box of clothes again, except to occasionally pick out some socks to wear.
*
When Chu Wuzhi returned to the palace, little Yaoer, wearing a tiger-head cloak, ran out, looking particularly festive and cute.
"Brother, do you think this cloak that Mother made for me is beautiful?"
"Of course it's beautiful, but keeping warm is the most important thing!" Chu Wuji pinched her face.
"It's warm too. I wanted Mother to make it white, but she said red is warmer!"
The little girl sighed regretfully and pouted.
Color should have some influence on warmth, but it is more limited to the feeling in the heart, right?
Just like the fairy godmother on the mountain and the fox fairy in his arms, their breasts were so white, but Chu Wuji could still feel the irreplaceable warmth.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where is the princess?"
"I'll take my brother to find my mother~"
The little princess took Chu Wuzhi's big hand and ran quickly to the tea room to find Princess Jing'an.
The dignified, plump and intellectual young woman was making ginger tea to warm her stomach. When she saw Chu Wuji coming, she stood up to greet him with a gentle smile.
"This is the last cup of ginger tea left. I won't wash the cup for you. Just drink mine!"
The beautiful woman put her delicate red lips to the rim of the teacup and blew gently. When it felt less hot, she handed it to Chu Wuzhi.
After Chu Wuji thanked him, he drank it all in one gulp, praised it for being delicious, and then started talking about the matter:
"Princess, I'm going on a long journey. I don't know when I'll be back yet, because I'm going to the Western Regions."
"It's the end of the year... why do you have to run so far?" The beautiful woman frowned, looking dazed.
Wen Yaoer also had a similar reaction. She didn't know what to say and could only hug Chu Wuzhi.
Chu Wuji knew they would react like this, but he felt helpless. He said to the bright side:
"Don't think it's the Western Regions. I'm traveling very fast now. I'll be here in no time. I just don't know when I can finish this."
In Princess Jing'an's opinion, the round-trip time to the Western Regions can be calculated in years.
After hearing what Chu Wuzhi said, the princess's expression became better.
She wanted to tell Chu Wuji, "Try to come back for a reunion during the Spring Festival," but when the words came to her lips, she was afraid of putting pressure on him. Chu Wuji was not going there for fun, so how could he do everything according to plan?
"I heard that the Western Regions have all kinds of milk wines and novel and beautiful clothes. Can Wuji bring us some local specialties when he comes back?"
"Okay!" Chu Wuzhi nodded affirmatively.
Princess Yao'er's request was very demanding. Her bright round eyes rolled around and she started to act cleverly:
"Brother, can you turn me into a kitten or a fox and take me with you? I won't cause any trouble. I'm a very obedient person!"
This really stumped Chu Wuji. Wen Yaoer probably thought that he should be able to perform some ordinary little spells because she saw all kinds of birds and beasts appearing around him when he practiced martial arts.
He smiled bitterly and touched the girl's head.
Princess Jing'an pulled her daughter over and said with a smile:
"Yesterday we went to the palace to chat with the Queen. She was planning to ask you to cook for her when she returns to the palace in a few days. I guess she'll be disappointed when she leaves the palace in a few days."
Princess Jing'an still doesn't know the relationship between Queen Wen and him.
Chu Wuji guessed that when Queen Wen returned to the palace in a few days, she would definitely take her anger out on Xiao Yaoer's face.
After leaving Prince Jing'an's Mansion, Chu Wuji did not go into the palace to find Queen Wen.
The mental state of the Sky Fox Queen made him feel calm. If Queen Wen thought that she had something against her, it would be a big misunderstanding.
Chu Wuji wore the jade hairpin Mozhi around his waist and stuffed a few books of martial arts into his arms, so that Goddess Tianhu could read them to entertain herself when she was free.
"Should we tell Ning Xianzhi's godmother?"
Chu Wuji felt that he could go and say something. The matter of the Scorpion Demon had nothing to do with the position of the immortals. Ning Xianzhi could take action at will, and calling on people was also a kind of strength.
If all else fails, ask Senior Jiujiu what kind of wine he wants to drink recently. Chu Wuji went to the Western Regions to buy a jar of the best wine, and if he saw that the situation was not good, he would smash a jar.
Before Chu Wuji arrived at the Shenxiao Sect, he happened to meet a few disciples who were out on a mission. Chu Wuji pulled them down.
"Are you looking for Elder Ning and Senior Sister Yun?" These young disciples of the immortal family had complaints in their hearts but dared not speak them out.
Yun Qingying is the elder's direct disciple, so her seniority is naturally higher than that of ordinary disciples. She was treated as a senior sister as soon as she went up the mountain.
"Correct."
"They haven't been on the Immortal Peak recently. They've been out collecting herbs. I heard there's a five-hundred-year-old ginseng that's become a spirit."
"Did Senior Jiujiu also get the medicine?"
"Yes, Elder Jiuwu was clamoring the other day to capture the ginseng spirit first, seal it up, and use it to make wine."
"..."
It does sound like the tone of Senior Jiujiu, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to use ginseng as a spirit to make wine?
Aren’t you afraid that the ginseng spirit will eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the wine jar?
Chu Wuji tentatively replied, "Okay, I won't bother you two anymore."
Since I can't hug more white legs, I won't force it.
He said, "Thank you, Goddess of Heavenly Fox," and then a huge, beautiful nine-tailed fox appeared, and its fluffy, soft tail tickled him.
Chu Wuji felt relieved when he saw that the Sky Fox Goddess was still in the mood to flirt with him, and he quickly jumped onto her back.
This is really a helpless change.
