Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 516: Second Wish

In the dark night, a figure lightly passed over the eaves, flew over the top of the palace, and shuttled through the dark woods.

The closer we get to the West Palace, the stronger the evil spirit in the air becomes. What happened in the West Palace? Is Furong in danger?

The more Ji Anni thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She subconsciously quickened her pace and rushed towards the West Palace against the cold wind.

It landed silently in the yard in front of Shui Furong's bed. A strong evil aura drifted out from Shui Furong's room.

A faint orange-yellow light shone through the thin window paper, reflecting the silhouette of the water lotus.

From the figure, it could be seen that Shui Furong was safe and sound and was not held hostage by other monsters. Ji Annie breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet..." As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

Shui Furong in the room heard the footsteps and asked in a low voice with vigilance: "Who?"

Before Ji Anni could come back, she heard a rustling sound coming from the room, as if Shui Furong was busy packing something.

"Furong, it's me." Ji Anni answered softly standing at the door.

After a while, Shui Furong, with dishevelled hair and a haggard look, came to open the door for her. "Why are you here..."

As soon as the door opened, Ji Anni immediately looked around the room. The room looked ordinary, but there was a pungent evil smell in the air.

Finally, Ji Annie's eyes fell on a cabinet filled with miscellaneous items, because that cabinet was where the evil spirit was the heaviest.

"Xiao Zhao?" Shui Furong felt guilty seeing Ji Anni staring at the cabinet, so she moved her body slightly to block Ji Anni's sight.

Ji Anni said, "I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by a demonic aura. I opened the window and found that the demonic aura came from your side, so I came to take a look." Then she pointed at the suspicious cabinet and asked, "Furong, what's in that cabinet?"

Shui Furong's body visibly stiffened for a moment, and she replied with an unnatural smile: "It's all just a mess, nothing to see..."

From his slightly flustered look, Ji Anni sensitively sensed that he was hiding something. She rushed into the room without hesitation and opened the cabinet with a snap.

Suddenly, an evil aura filled the air, and Ji Anni was so frightened that she quickly raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose.

"This, what is this..."

There was a metal altar-shaped object the size of a human head in the cabinet. Ji Anni resisted the extreme discomfort brought by the evil spirit and took out the altar to see that there was some liquid in the altar. The smell of the liquid was strong and fishy, ​​and it was clearly blood.

"What is this? Where did you get it?" Ji Anni put the altar heavily on the table with a "clang", raised her head and questioned Shui Furong seriously.

Shui Furong realized that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she sighed softly, closed the door carefully, and then came to Ji Anni and said, "I heard that this can communicate yin and yang..."

"You want to call Xiwei back?" Ji Anni was shocked and immediately advised him to give up the idea. "Xiwei is Yuan Rong's Shikigami. Now Yuan Rong has been destroyed and will never be reborn. Xiwei is no longer in the reincarnation of the Three Realms. You can't call her back at all..."

Although it may sound a bit cruel to say this, it is necessary to be so cruel in order to make Shui Furong wake up completely.

"I know..." Shui Furong lowered her eyelashes, her beautiful face looked extremely haggard and pitiful under the orange candlelight, "I know I can no longer summon my sister's soul... But, I can at least use this blood altar to summon a group of little ghosts to help me find Yan Niang and avenge her."

"Are you crazy?" Ji Anni stared at him in surprise. Shui Furong, who had never learned Taoism for a day, actually wanted to summon a little ghost. She was simply throwing her life away.

Ji Anni grabbed Shui Furong's wrist and pulled it over to take a look. Only then did she find that it was covered with bloody wounds, some of which had already scarred, and some had not yet healed. Her fair arms became horrible. She suddenly realized that the blood in the altar was not chicken blood or pig blood, but human blood.

"No wonder I haven't seen you these days. You are thinking about these dangerous things. Don't you want to live?" Ji Anni's tone became fierce in anger.

Shui Furong pulled her hand back, covered the wound with her sleeve, and said, "Only in this way can Yan Niang be punished." There was no sign of repentance.

"Do you think that a few little ghosts can deal with Yan Niang? Not only will you fail to get revenge, but you will also lose your life!"

"It doesn't matter if I die. Since I can't avenge my sister while I'm alive, I'll become a ghost and make Yan Niang pay for her blood with blood." Shui Furong said viciously.

"Furong, what's wrong with you..." Seeing his crazy face, Ji Anni felt so painful that her heart was bleeding.

Since he is willing to do something as dangerous as summoning ghosts, he is already risking his life. Maybe one day he will really become a fierce ghost.

"Furong, wake up. Do you remember what Xiwei said before she disappeared?" Ji Anni grabbed Shui Furong's shoulders tightly with both hands and shook them. "She doesn't want you to avenge her at all. She just wants you to be safe and happy. If you die for revenge, Xiwei will definitely be more painful..."

"The reason you say that is because you are protecting Yan Niang." Shui Furong suddenly raised her head and stared at Ji Anni with cold eyes.

Ji Anni's body instantly turned cold and stiffened. She said blankly, "I, I didn't protect her. I did it for your own good..."

Shui Furong sneered, lowered her head to avoid Ji Anni's gaze, and said bitterly: "It's not your sister who was killed..." She paused here, and then changed her words in a more sad and angry tone, "It's not your biological mother who was killed... That's why you said that..."

Ji Anni was speechless for a moment, staring at Shui Furong's strange and indifferent expression, losing the ability to speak.

"What I do is my business. Revenge is my only purpose in entering the palace. Now that I finally know the identity of my enemy, how can I let her go just because she is a monster?" As he spoke, his right hand subconsciously placed on the blood altar, gently groping for the edge of the blood altar. His dark eyes were like a cold pool, dark and bottomless, unfathomable.

"You've been bewildered." Ji Anni suddenly picked up the blood altar and walked towards the window. "In short, I won't allow you to do these dangerous things again."

"What are you doing?" Shui Furong hurriedly chased after him.

Ji Anni opened the window without saying a word, and with a "splash", all the blood inside was poured out.

Shui Furong stuck her head out of the window and stared at the soil below the window, which was stained purple and black by blood, for a long time. After coming to her senses, she immediately frowned and growled at Ji Anni: "Why did you do this? Why didn't you let me take revenge?"

"You want revenge, don't you?" Ji Anni took a deep breath, placed the empty blood jar on the windowsill, and looked up at Shui Furong's questioning gaze. "I'll help you get revenge."

The sudden words made Shui Furong's expression instantly change from anger to surprise, and finally froze on her face.

Ji Anni then added: "But the premise is that you can't hurt your body again, and you can't do anything else dangerous."

Shui Furong seemed not to have heard it and subconsciously repeated what she had just said: "Help me get revenge..." She stared at Ji Anni in disbelief.

Ji Anni's firm and serious gaze gave him an extremely affirmative answer.

Ji Anni met Shui Furong's doubtful eyes and said solemnly: "I will help you get revenge. Only I can help you get revenge. So don't hurt yourself anymore, and let me handle everything, okay?"

"Why..." Shui Furong gradually came back to her senses from her astonishment, and looked at Ji Anni's expression which suddenly became extremely serious in confusion.

Ji Anni said, "You are right. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If Yan Niang was a human, she would have been sentenced to death long ago. We can't let her get away with it just because she is a monster and no one can kill her. It is precisely because of this that monsters have become a terrifying existence that can do whatever they want to humans. I once promised Xue Lan that I would let humans and monsters coexist in the world. The first step is to let all monsters know that if they harm people, they will also pay with their lives."

After Xi Wei's death, Ji Anni's heart has been restless. She vaguely thought of punishing Yan Niang as a warning to others, but because she had a special feeling for Yan Niang, she could not make up her mind. Yan Niang was not a cruel and cruel monster. The reason why she did those evil things was because she followed the wrong master. If it was not the Queen Mother's order, how could Yan Niang kill Shui Congfei?

Now that the Queen Mother has received the due punishment for her past actions, it is finally Yan Niang's turn...

Ji Anni thought more and more deeply and hesitated to speak again.

Shui Furong gently grabbed her hand and asked, "Do you have a way to kill Yan Niang?"

Ji Anni came back to her senses, sighed, and said softly: "I can't do anything, but the Ghost King should be able to..."

The god-killing fire that burned Yuan Rong to death in the Demon-Suppressing Temple can definitely subdue Yan Niang.

Shui Furong asked again: "Will the Ghost King listen to you?"

Ji Anni said: "He promised to help me realize three wishes. The reason why he stayed in Xian Palace now is to wait for him to help me realize my wishes and take away Xue Lan's fox bead from my body. The first wish I made to him was to stop the rain, and the second wish... I have thought of it now..."

That is, he was asked to build a demon-killing platform, on which was placed a large furnace, in which burned a flame that could burn the spirits of all demons and monsters.

It is not only to establish authority, but also a warning and a deterrent, so that other monsters can learn from it and dare not do evil again.

"What will happen to you if you lose the fox bead?" Shui Furong asked worriedly. After hearing Ji Anni's words, he gradually calmed down from his initial madness, and only worried about Ji Anni.

"The Fox Pearl brought me back to life. Without it, I might just return to my original form..."

In order not to worry Shui Furong, Ji Anni answered very vaguely, but Shui Furong still asked: "Will you die?"

Ji Anni smiled faintly, looked at him and said: "What you see now is just a corpse that has been reborn under the power of the fox bead. I just want to use the last life I inherited from Xue Lan to prevent the tragedy from happening again. As long as I complete this task, I will die with my eyes closed."
