Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 402: Falling into a trap

Ji Anni then remembered that the same scene had happened on the night when the Paper God and the Fox Demon disturbed the palace. The Paper God's weakness was water, so Yuan Rong brought heavy rain to disperse the Fox Demon in the palace.

I still remember Xuanjizi said that calling the wind and rain is a profound Taoist method that ordinary people cannot use at all.

Looking at the dark clouds gathering above her head, Ji Anni had a feeling that this unusual cloud must be related to Yuan Rong. She shouted hurriedly, "Quick! Go back!"

As he spoke, he pushed Yizhen and Prince Ming's shoulders, but he had no intention of escaping.

At this moment, thunder roared overhead, and its momentum seemed to split the earth.

Ji Anni felt an earth-shaking sensation, and her body swayed with the shaking ground, which was even more terrifying than an earthquake.

"Mother, mother..." The timid Prince Ming hugged Ji Annie's legs tightly, his wrinkled little face full of fear.

"It's okay, let's go back with Concubine Su." Ji Anni pulled Prince Ming away from her and pushed him into Yizhen's arms.

"Xiao Zhao?" Yizhen hugged Prince Ming who suddenly fell into her arms, and looked at Ji Anni in confusion, wondering why she suddenly entrusted Prince Ming to her. Could it be... that she didn't want to escape back to Wenhua Courtyard with everyone?

With a loud "crash", heavy rain poured down.

The raindrops were big and heavy, hitting our bodies like hail.

"Yizhen, come on, take the children back." Ji Anni pushed Zhang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri into Yizhen's arms.

"My queen, what do you want to do?" Hua Rong asked anxiously when she saw that Ji Anni's eyes were fixed on the place where the dark clouds were the heaviest not far away.

Ji Anni, who was only focused on determining the location of the dark clouds, did not hear Hua Rong's words. She wiped the rain off her face and cursed angrily, "That damn Yuan Rong, isn't he injured? How can he still be so powerful! Isn't that... the direction of the Demon Suppression Temple..."

The place where the dark clouds were pressing down was exactly where the Demon Suppression Temple was located. Although many people warned Ji Anni not to get close to the Demon Suppression Temple, and although Ji Anni also knew that her body would change if she got close to the Demon Suppression Temple, but looking at the dark clouds above her head, feeling the rain washing her body, and listening to the roaring rain... Ji Anni could not hold back her impulse at all.

Yuan Rong must have had a purpose in causing rain in the Demon-Suppressing Temple. Could it be to force me to show up?

"Yizhen, you guys go back first and don't worry about me." After leaving these words, Ji Anni rushed towards the Demon-Suppressing Temple in the heavy rain.

"Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao!" Yizhen shouted behind her, but her voice was soon drowned out by the sound of the pouring rain.

"My Lady!" The sensitive Hua Rong was the first to notice Ji Anni's intention and knew that Ji Anni was going to the Demon Temple. Without thinking too much, she subconsciously shouted, wanting to call Ji Anni back, because she knew that it was definitely not a good thing for Ji Anni to fall into the trap in the Demon Temple. But Ji Anni had already plunged into the rain and never looked back...

Ji Anni rushed to the Demon Temple in one breath, and became a drowned chicken. Water was dripping all over her body, and the weight of her clothes almost crushed her body. The skirt soaked by the rain was like a pair of shackles, hanging under her body, making it difficult for her to walk.

The sudden heavy rain caused all the palace guards, eunuchs, and maids to rush out to find a place to shelter from the rain.

The imperial palace, which was once heavily guarded, now looked like an abandoned manor, with no one in sight.

Ji Anni rushed all the way to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, but she didn't meet anyone on the way. But it was better this way, so no one would know that she went to the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

She was confined to Wenhua Courtyard because she trespassed into the Demon-Suppressing Temple. If she made the same mistake a second time, the punishment would be doubled. However, the queen mother who punished her had lost her power...

Thinking of this, Ji Anni became bolder. The Queen Mother was in trouble now, and no one would punish her.

Ji Anni's steps into the Demon-Suppressing Temple became more determined, without any hesitation.

"Yuan Rong, get out here!" Ji Anni screamed in the heavy rain. She had to use all her strength to prevent her voice from being covered by the sound of the rain.

"Yuan Rong! Yuan Rong!" Ji Anni shuttled through the demon-suppressing temple, with thunder and lightning above her head, and several lightning bolts almost fell on her. Fortunately, she was lucky, otherwise she would have turned into a carbon rod.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the center of the Demon Temple, the sealed room, Ji Anni subconsciously slowed down her pace, a little afraid to get closer. She subconsciously pressed her chest, her heartbeat became faster and faster, and the blood rushed all over her body. This feeling was not unfamiliar, but it was very terrifying. Whenever she got close to here, she would have an unusual feeling, as if something was about to awaken from her body.

She stood under the eaves, looking at the room that could not be approached from more than twenty steps away.

Yuan Rong is probably not here... Thinking of this, she turned around and wanted to leave.

But just as she turned around, Yuan Rong's laughter suddenly came from the sky.

"Haha, my lady, I knew you would come."

Ji Anni looked back and saw a black miasma lingering outside the sealed room. The miasma was hiding under the eaves and was not wet by the rain. Sometimes it turned into a human face, and sometimes it turned into a black snake shape, which was very scary.

"What on earth do you want to do, you evil demon?" Ji Anni subconsciously took a half step back.

Facing the demonized Yuan Rong, it was impossible for her not to be afraid. Although she told herself again and again that she must not show any fear in front of this demon, her body's instinct was completely out of control and she retreated step by step.

"Haha, Your Majesty, didn't I tell you Yuan Rong's intention last time?" Yuan Rong laughed sinisterly.

"I would never become your shikigami even if I die!" Ji Anni yelled at him in disgust.

"Your Majesty, this is not your choice!" Yuan Rong's miasma suddenly pounced on Ji Anni.

In the heavy rain, Yuan Rong's miasma did not dissipate. The smoke was like a sharp sword, stabbing at Ji Anni.

"Ah!" Ji Anni screamed and turned to run away. But as soon as she turned around, she found that there were a group of black snakes behind her, entwined in the corridor and the garden, blocking all the retreat routes. If she wanted to escape, she had to step on their bodies.

"Your Majesty, this is the place with the heaviest fox demon aura in the palace. Just after you broke into the Demon Temple, I found a pool of demon blood here. The blood was full of the scent of fox demons... So I speculate that this is the place that can best stimulate your demon nature, and it is also... the place where I can read your name most easily!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Rong's eyes suddenly became fierce.

If the human nature is not eliminated, the demon nature will be difficult to show. If the demon nature is not revealed, Yuan Rong will not be able to read Zhao Ji's real name.

No wonder Yuan Rong wanted to lead her here. Ji Anni already understood clearly that he wanted to stimulate her demonic nature, so as to obtain a name and control her.

It's too late to escape, and there's nowhere to hide.

Under Yuan Rong's control, the black snakes on the ground suddenly flew up and pounced towards Ji Annie.

Ji Anni screamed in fear and picked up a branch from the ground and waved it like a sword. This move was not very effective. Although it waved away the black snake that attacked her face, it was helpless against the black snake that was slowly crawling up her calf from her feet.

There were bursts of stinging pain in her calf as the black snake bit Ji Annie mercilessly with its venomous fangs.

A familiar eagle cry sounded in the sky, and Cang Gui rushed to rescue at the critical moment. But he was still too late, and the snake venom gradually spread throughout Ji Anni's body along the blood. Ji Anni's legs were weak and she could hardly stand up.

"My queen, you clearly have the blood of a powerful demon fox flowing in your body, so why are you so vulnerable?" The black miasma transformed into Yuan Rong's face in mid-air. The cracked mouth on his face was curved like the god of death's scythe, which was extremely terrifying.

It clearly has the blood of a powerful demon fox, so why is it so useless? Haha...

Ji Anni smiled bitterly. After all, she was just an ordinary human being, a weak human being...

Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and even though she tried hard to open her eyes, she could see nothing.

Am I being controlled by Yuan Rong like this?

Resentment, grief, anger, all kinds of emotions weighed heavily on her heart, suffocating her.

"Yuan Rong, don't think you can control me. Good will always prevail over evil. Be careful or you will suffer retribution!" Using the last bit of her strength, Ji Anni roared at Yuan Rong and threw the branch in her hand towards Yuan Rong's ugly face.

Yuan Rong was just a ball of miasma, and the thrown branch went straight through Yuan Rong's face and fell to the ground.

"My queen, just admit defeat. You are as small as an ant now. I can crush you to death with just two fingers." Yuan Rong floated closer to Ji Anni. The black miasma became thicker and thicker, as thick as the dark clouds in the sky.

Ji Annie subconsciously dodged backwards. The Cang Gui flew around in the miasma, trying to peck away the dark clouds, but failed.

With nothing else to do, Cang Gui simply grabbed Ji Anni's shoulders and tried to lift her up into the air. But the black snake on the ground was like a giant hand, firmly grasping Ji Anni's legs and pinning her to the ground, preventing Cang Gui from having any chance of rescuing her.

"Damn it..." Cang Gui cursed angrily, and his cries became more and more shrill, as if he was calling for help.

At this moment, the black snake suddenly attacked the Cang Gui!

They jumped onto the Cang Gui along Ji Anni's shoulders and used their slender bodies to tightly wrap around the Cang Gui's wings. With its wings bound, the Cang Gui lost the ability to fly and was pulled to the ground by the black snake. In less than a blink of an eye, the Cang Gui's body was completely covered by the black snake.

"Cang Gui!" Ji Annie screamed. If this continued, Cang Gui would be swallowed alive by these black snakes.

"My queen, you should worry about yourself!" Yuan Rong in a thick fog state attacked Ji Anni, and the black miasma instantly wrapped around Ji Anni's entire head without leaving any space.

Ji Anni's thoughts suddenly became confused, and she felt a sharp pain as if her head was shattered.

Something in my mind seemed to be pulled outward by an invisible hand.

Zhao Ji's memories, Xue Lan's memories, and Ji Anni's memories are all mixed together, and it is impossible to tell which is whose memory.

Yuan Rong searched for the information he wanted in that chaotic memory...
