Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 550 Seeing Old Friends Again

"Is it really that obvious that I'm from the South? Even an ordinary person with no magical power can tell who I am?"

Hearing that the servant could tell that she was from the Southern Country, Poison Lady became even more uneasy, and her eyes searched around to see if there was any ambush nearby.

After observing for a while, she didn't find any signs of an ambush. This made Poison Lady feel a little relieved. At the same time, she was also full of doubts: "How did you know I was from the South?"

"I can tell from the hairpin the young lady is wearing, and some of her movements and habits, which are all consistent with our southern country."

The servant continued with a smile, "Just like the hairpin you're wearing, young lady, it's unique to the South..."

Poison Lady reached out and touched the hairpin on her head, but suddenly caught the question in the servant's words: "You are from the South."

"Yes."

The servant smiled and nodded.

"As a southerner, why did you end up here? And seeing that you have no power, getting here from the south... I'm afraid... it won't be easy, right?"

Between the Southern Kingdom and the Yiqi Dao League, there is a perpetual fog that lingers year-round. This fog spreads along the dividing line between the Southern Kingdom and the Yiqi Dao League. Once you enter the fog, your senses will become dull and you will easily lose your way.

Even for a cultivator, it is extremely difficult to pass through a foggy area, let alone an ordinary person.

And seeing that the young servant was powerless, how did he get here from the South? Not to mention the difficult journey and the dangers he encountered, he probably couldn't even get through the foggy area that separated the two forces.

"If I were alone, it would be impossible for me to walk here from the South Country. I mainly rely on your help."

The servant's eyes flashed with memories. "Back then, I lived with my parents in a mountain villa in the Southern Kingdom. Although life was not easy, it was bearable. Until one day, the abominable Poison Master of the Southern Kingdom's Five Poison Guards captured us and forced us to build the Star-Picking Tower for him."

Lady Poison lowered her head slightly. The Star-Picking Tower was built for her by Master Poison. She never expected to meet the mortal who built the Star-Picking Tower for her here.

"I heard that although the Poison Master was a little ugly and acted irrationally, he never killed anyone."

Poison Lady said softly.

"Pooh."

The servant's face was filled with anger, and his fists were clenched. "That Poison Master didn't kill people directly, but he was just as good as killing us. Ever since he abducted us, he's been urging us to build the Star-Picking Tower day and night. If we were even slightly slow, he'd whip us. My poor parents died of exhaustion while building the Star-Picking Tower."

"There are countless people who died of exhaustion like my parents. My poor father and mother died because of the Poison Master. How can you say that the Poison Master never killed anyone?"

The servant's eyes were filled with hatred, which made Madam Du silent for a moment. She knew that when Master Du built the Zhaixing Tower to please her, he had indeed abducted many mortals. However, she didn't know that some people died of exhaustion.

Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't really care. It's just that when I heard him talk about this, I felt confused for a moment.

At this time, the servant was excited, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Luckily, Lord Su Mu took action back then and killed the evil monster, thus rescuing us. The kind-hearted Madam Huaizhu even brought us out of the Southern Kingdom, away from that evil land, and brought us to this paradise..."

Listening to the servant's constant praise for Su Mu, Lady Du felt inexplicably irritated.

As if sensing Madam Du's impatience, the servant stopped talking: "I've been thinking about the past and have a lot to say. I'm sorry to bother you, young lady."

"fine."

Poison Lady forced a laugh.

At this time, the ordered dishes were ready, and the waiter hurriedly brought them over. As there were guests nearby, he immediately got busy.

The Poison Lady didn't care about the servant's departure. On the contrary, his departure made her feel a little more at ease.

While picking up her chopsticks and casually tasting the food, Poison Lady listened to the hushed conversation coming from next door.

"The owner of the Divine Fire Manor is truly blessed. Last year, he married the eldest daughter of the Alliance Leader, Dongfang Huaizhu, and this year he married the second daughter of Dongfang, Dongfang Qinlan. He even has a very ambiguous relationship with the second in command of Tushan. It's really enviable."

"This is also his ability."

The person next to him interrupted.

"Yes, I have heard that Wang Quan Baiye, the eldest son of the Wang Quan family, also admired Dongfang Huaizhu, but Dongfang Huaizhu never even looked at Wang Quan Baiye."

"Speaking of the royal power, it's truly a pity. Back then, the royal power was so high and mighty. But after a trip to the 'outside circle', it suddenly became dejected and never regained its former glory."

"How can I not be dejected? I heard that those who followed Wang Quan Baiye were all top-notch talents from various aristocratic families, but none of them returned. Only Wang Quan Baiye came back."

"That's true. However, what on earth exists in this 'outside the circle' that is so dangerous?"

"No one knows this, but I heard there's been a lot of activity on the border guarding the 'outside circle' recently. Unknown entities have been attacking the border walls, and even Senior Tianmen had to personally take action to suppress them."

…………

Poison Lady listened silently to the conversations of the people around her, and gained a better understanding of Shenhuoshan Villa.

While listening to a few people nearby chatting about the gossip about Su Mu and the second young lady of Tushan, Poison Lady casually glanced at the sudden commotion outside.

The crowd that was originally coming and going suddenly dispersed and automatically made way. Every person or demon that made way did not show any anger, but rather showed respect, as if they were waiting for some noble person to pass by first.

Poison Lady didn't care too much about these things, but she was a little curious about the so-called noble person.

However, when his eyes fell on the woman, or fairy, walking on the road, he was completely stunned.
