Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 246: Gold Dust Chasing Fox

I didn’t expect Xuanjizi to be so capable.

The people, who had just recovered from their shock, stared in amazement at the bubble and the fox floating in the air.

"Collect." Xuanjizi clenched his five fingers, and the bubble suddenly tightened with his movement, as if he wanted to squeeze the fox to death.

The fox demon let out a piercing scream in the bubble.

Everyone thought that the fox demon had been subdued, but at this moment, the bubble was suddenly bitten by the fox demon.

With a loud "pop" sound, like a bomb exploding, the bubble actually broke into pieces of light, like fireworks, falling from the sky one after another.

The fox demon broke out of its cocoon and disappeared in a flash.

There was a cry of “Ah!” from the crowd.

After the bubbles burst, the powder fell onto everyone's bodies and faces, forming a sparkling powder.

The powder was not transparent, but a small golden powder.

After everyone was covered with gold powder, they sparkled in the dark, like immortals descending from the sky.

The gold powder not only fell on everyone, but also on the fox demon at the moment it broke out of its cocoon.

Moreover, there is more and brighter gold powder on the fox demon's body.

This gold powder is like phosphorus powder and is very eye-catching at night.

Even though the fox demon is no longer there, a trail of golden dust has been left on the road.

Following these footprints, I saw a golden object running across the roof.

The fox demon dyed with gold powder has no place to hide anymore, and it is only a matter of time before it is caught.

"Stop! Where are you running to!" Xuanjizi shouted, jumped onto the roof, and followed the fox demon's footsteps closely.

The man and the fox disappeared soon.

"Wow..." Ji Anni was stunned. She didn't expect Xuanjizi to not only know Taoism, but also be good at Qinggong. Although Xuanjizi is no longer visible, the scene of him jumping onto the roof and chasing the fox demon just now is just like a martial arts movie.

At this time, the two children in Ji Annie's arms also recovered from the shock, patting their chests and letting out a "huh..." sound of panting. Their faces were flushed, as if they had just ridden a roller coaster, and it was obvious at a glance that they were frightened.

Zhuang Xiaomeng liked excitement, and even though he was scared and sweating, he still felt very excited. He held Ji Anni tightly and kept asking, "Zhao Congfei, Zhao Congfei, what was that just now? What wrapped the fox demon? Why did it break again?" At this point, he looked down at the little gold powders that fell on his clothes, and shouted even more excitedly, "Wow, so powerful!"

"What do you mean by strong or not?" Ji Anni was worried that his strong curiosity would cause trouble, so she discouraged him before he even suggested going with her to catch the monster. "...This palace is getting more and more chaotic. You two should be more careful next time."

As he spoke, he pinched Chang Sun Mingri's shoulder to remind him that the "you two" he had just mentioned also included Chang Sun Mingri.

Looking at Chang Sun Mingri’s dull eyes, you can tell that he has been frightened for a long time and would definitely not dare to do anything naughty.

But as for Zhuang Xiaomeng...

I always feel that he is energetic and bold, and I wonder if he will cause any trouble... Ji Annie is worried.

At this time, the guards who were in charge of hunting down the fox demon also came to their senses, and under the leadership of the chief guard, they chased in the direction where Xuanjizi disappeared. The courtyard that was crowded with people just a moment ago became silent at this moment.

"Huh, I'm scared to death..." Shui Furong's voice suddenly came to my ears.

Only then did Ji Anni realize that Shui Furong was still beside her.

From the moment Xuanjizi captured the demon, Shui Furong was frightened and stunned. She didn't make a sound and was so quiet that it seemed as if she had disappeared. No wonder Ji Anni forgot about his existence for a while. Now Shui Furong finally recovered, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and didn't care about the danger. She walked towards the window where the fox was found in two steps.

"Stupid fox, why are you breaking into the door instead of jumping out of the window!" Shui Furong was frightened by the fox demon who suddenly pounced on her and couldn't help cursing.

This sentence he said unintentionally caught Ji Anni's attention.

That's right, the fox was standing at the window just now. If it wanted to escape, why didn't it just jump out of the window and escape, but deliberately chose to force its way through a crowded door? Even if it was a monster, it wouldn't take scaring people as an interest, right?

The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Ji Anni also walked towards the window.

There was nothing strange about the window, but if you push it outwards, you can see a pond.

Unlike the grassland outside the back window of Taoyuan, there is a wide pond outside the back window of Liyuan.

No wonder the fox didn’t jump out of the window, it turns out it is afraid of water... But can’t foxes swim?

After thinking about it, I still feel it is very strange...

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, please go back first." At some point, the two guards in charge of guarding Taoyuan also came over.

They accidentally let Ji Anni and Shui Furong escape from Taoyuan, which was already a crime. If they didn't invite the two ladies back quickly, they would have a hard time explaining themselves if their superiors tracked them down.

Seeing their troubled and worried looks, Ji Anni couldn't bear to make things difficult for them, so she replied, "Okay, we'll go back now."

After saying that, he bumped Shui Furong's arm, reminding him to go back to Taoyuan with him soon.

Shui Furong was still on the windowsill, carefully examining the details. She looked so serious and rigorous, just like a forensic staff member examining a crime scene. She had the posture of a very professional person.

Ji Anni suddenly had an idea: Shui Furong's discovery of the soul-stealing mark on the pillow core might not be accidental, but was inseparable from his bold and careful character. If he lived in modern times, he would definitely be an excellent forensic worker.

"Okay, Furong, let's go back." Unfortunately, there was no time for him to dawdle. Ji Anni took his arm and pulled him out.

"Don't pull, don't pull..." Shui Furong almost lost her balance and was involuntarily pulled to the door by Ji Anni.

Before leaving, Ji Anni stopped and squatted beside Zhuang Xiaomeng and Zhang Sun Mingri, comforting them, "Okay, it's okay. Sleep well at night and remember to close the windows - don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

Ji Anni was also a naughty child, so she understood very well what was in Zhuang Xiaomeng's head.

"What kind of thoughts are inappropriate?" Zhuang Xiaomeng put his arms behind his head again and played the stupid game with Ji Anni.

"He stays up all night and secretly climbs over the wall to look for foxes. I'll have someone clean up the gold powder in the yard right away, so don't think about using the gold powder to look for foxes." He tapped Zhuang Xiaomeng on the forehead. Humph, how could you not guess his trick?

In fact, if Ji Anni hadn't been trapped by the house arrest order, she would also like to follow Jin Fen to find the fox and find out the truth.

Alas, it's a pity that I'm no longer free. Besides, as a "new mother", I should at least act like a mother, right? Chasing a fox demon around seems a bit inappropriate...

"Hmph..." After being exposed, Zhuang Xiaomeng pouted unhappily.

"Be good and go to bed early. You have classes tomorrow." Ji Annie rubbed Zhuang Xiaomeng's little head. After saying this, she took Shui Furong back to Taoyuan.

On the way, Shui Furong kept muttering, "Strange, really strange... really really really strange..."

"What did you find out?" Ji Anni looked at him curiously.

"I didn't find anything." Shui Furong tilted her neck, looking like she couldn't figure it out.

"What's so strange about that?" Ji Anni was even more confused.

Shui Furong said seriously, "It's even more strange because we didn't find anything. Why didn't the fox demon leave even a single hair? The most likely possibility is... it's not a real fox at all, but... it's a trick."

"A trick?" What is this? Ji Anni stopped and stared at Shui Furong.

Shui Furong couldn't explain it clearly, so she said casually, "Anyway, it's just a fake fox. It looks like a fox, but it's not actually a fox."

"No matter what..." Ji Anni sighed and said worriedly, "This palace is getting more and more chaotic..."

#

It was the middle of the night, and after all this trouble, Ji Anni and Shui Furong were both a little tired.

The two returned to the room, exhausted but not sleepy.

I was too lazy to take off my clothes and fell asleep on the bed. My mind was full of the image of the fox flying around, and I couldn't fall asleep at all.

After about a quarter of an hour, sleepiness finally set in. Just as Ji Anni was about to fall asleep, the window suddenly lit up.

A beam of white light, like an alien landing, shone through the closed window and illuminated the floor. It was just like what an ancient poem described: "The moonlight shines on the bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground."

Ji Anni and Shui Furong sat up suddenly and stared at the window.

At this time, I heard a sound of chasing and shouting from the window: "Demon fox! Where are you running to!"

If this voice isn’t Xuanjizi’s, then who else could it be?

Why did they catch up again?

And...why hasn't he caught the fox demon yet?

Shui Furong got up in a hurry, rushed to the window, and pushed open the back window to see what was going on. But his action was half-stepped, and after the back window was opened, Xuanjizi and the fox demon had already fled to other places.

Just when Shui Furong was feeling disappointed, she suddenly saw a white light coming from the front window.

"Wow!" Ji Anni shouted in surprise and excitement, as if she was in the world of a science fiction movie.

"Damn it, are you guys done yet?" Shui Furong slammed the rear window shut and ran towards the front window.

This time he did not push the window, but pushed the door directly. After pushing the door, he saw Xuanjizi and the golden fox demon staring at each other from a distance of about ten steps on the roof not far away.

"How stupid! Why haven't you caught it yet!" Shui Furong stood in the yard and pointed at Xuanjizi on the roof and shouted.
