Mu Baisha, who had been motionless just now, suddenly stood up.

"It seems that my father and my brothers are just hiding it from me and my sixth brother. Even my second brother, who is always gentle and polite, is disdainful of the former princess of our clan. Yes, she deserves to die today, but why did she assassinate my youngest sister with such hatred? Before she took action, didn't she know that whether she succeeded or not, she would die today?"

Mu Baisha looked at the Fox King again, "Father, don't you know? This is revenge. The Fox Clan was once revered as immortals by the demon clan, but now they are regarded as scum who slaughtered the clan. Father, you didn't expect that even if the Python Clan was completely slaughtered, the news would still get out."

The Fox King frowned irritably, "A bad reputation is just as useless as a good reputation! You two went out to gain experience, but instead you developed useless integrity!"

After he finished speaking, the Fox King was a little out of breath due to anger. The aunts accompanying him on both sides immediately helped him to calm down. One poured him wine and picked fruits, while the other pinched his legs and patted his back.

Seeing his father's expression, Mu Bairan finally understood that this was a case of the upper beam being crooked, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case! It's better for my fifth brother and I not to return to such a fox tribe!"

Mu Xiaoxi secretly sighed at this godsend opportunity and slowly took a breath.

Okay, it's my turn to perform.

She moved lightly, as if she was a little hesitant, confused and helpless, but she still walked towards Mu Bairan step by step.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Your Highness the Sixth Prince... Can you take my husband with you?"

Mu Xiaoxi said this as Yingying knelt down.

"My husband has no grudges against the fox clan, but the Second Prince forced me to disguise him and turn him into the python clan demon king! From then on, I tortured him every night just to make the fox princess feel better!"

Jiang Ming, who was hiding in the dark, looked puzzled, "Why did this Painted Skin Demon say that you are her husband?"

Mu Huo closed his eyes and said coldly, "Let's see what she's going to do."

Jiang Ming heard a sigh, and when she turned around, she found that Mu Huo had left. The sigh just now seemed more like her hallucination.

Mu Xiaoxi said this, and when she looked up again, her face was already covered with tears. She complained bitterly, "I don't understand. My husband and I are not from the python clan! Why do you want to force us into a desperate situation?"

After Mu Xiaoxi finished speaking, Mu Bairan's face turned red with anger. He pulled Mu Xiaoxi up, but he didn't know how to comfort this persecuted weak woman. He could only say, "Okay, I'll take you and your husband away."

Mu Jing's face was gloomy. He lowered his head to look at the person beside him. His eyes, which were always gentle and smiling, were now filled with a dangerous smile.

Mu Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked back at Mu Jing and immediately shrank her shoulders as if she was frightened. "Sixth Prince, but... I'm afraid that Second Prince will not let my husband and I go."

Mu Baisha also walked down and stood beside Mu Xiaoxi, and said to Mu Jing: "Second brother, the princess of the python tribe may have a grudge against my youngest sister, which is none of our business, but how can this lady and her husband be innocent?"

Mu Xiaoxi twitched her shoulders weakly, but when she turned back, there was no sign of weakness on her face. She unscrupulously winked at Jasmine in front of Mu Jing.

Mu Yu, who had been watching the whole show, frowned slightly, looked at the people on both sides, and pushed Mu Zheng again.

The two looked at each other and understood each other.

No matter what the flower demon was up to, if Mu Jing wanted to keep Mu Huo now, he had to either let the Fox King know the truth or subdue Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu by force.

But no matter which method is used, it doesn't work.

If my father knew the truth, he would immediately dig out the demon pills, and in this way, he would lose the bargaining chip in the negotiations with the demons.

It was not that difficult to subdue Xiaowu and Xiaoliu by force, but this action would certainly make their father suspicious - after all, who would hurt the friendship between brothers for an insignificant person? This was unacceptable.

Jasmine glanced at the increasingly impatient Fox King, adding fuel to the fire and saying, "Why? You can just take him away if you say so? That slave was born with a mean streak, I am punishing him, so what? I have used my marrow to make him my marrow slave! If I take him away, who will compensate me with a pair of marrows?"

Under Jasmine's harsh questioning, Mu Xiaoxi, who was kneeling on the ground, cried even louder.

Hearing about the marrow transformation, even Mu Baisha was shocked, "What? You actually let her husband become your marrow slave?"

The Fox King was having a headache because of the noise. Looking at the chaotic scene, he felt that he could not let the nobles see such a shameful family affair, and he needed to end the banquet immediately!

The Fox King sighed deeply and set his gaze on Mu Jing, who had been sensible since childhood.

"Second brother, hand this couple over to your fifth and sixth brothers, and let them do whatever they want with them!"

Mu Jing remained calm and said nothing.

The Fox King pointed at Mu Baisha and Mu Bairan and said, "You two little bastards! Get out of here as far as you can! Get out now!"

The Fox King looked towards the center of the hall again, and saw Mu Zhen, who had fallen to the ground after spitting out a large mouthful of blood. "As for this furnace, throw it into the army! It will be a good use for it."

Mu Nanke was unwilling to give up after hearing this and wanted to ask his father for mercy again, but was stopped by the Fox King's stern look.

Mu Xiaoxi glanced at Mu Jing, who seemed to be always calm, and guessed that Mu Jing might have already thought of a way to punish her.

Maybe Mu Jing would intercept them halfway and kidnap her and Mu Huo back again. But it didn't matter, the result was not important, as long as there was an action of "saving Mu Huo from the fox clan", it would be fine.

I've gone through so much trouble, all just to save the country and improve Mu Huo's favorability...

Mu Xiaoxi sighed tiredly, thinking that it was too difficult to play a good person.

Mu Bairan and Mu Baisha never forgot the poor, powerless marrow slave.

Mu Bairan bowed to Mu Jing and said, "I hope that Second Brother will release this young lady's husband. The four of us will set off immediately."

Mu Jing raised the corners of his lips and nodded slowly, "Okay, then let's go to my palace to pick him up."

Several people went to Mu Jing's palace together, but found the water prison empty.

Mu Baisha frowned in displeasure: "Second brother, isn't it too dishonest to do this?"

Mu Jing was not indignant. He looked at Mu Baisha gently and squatted down to check the seal on the water prison. "If he escaped, I'll have to trouble you to chase him back."

Mu Baisha and Mu Bairan both thought that Mu Jing was playing a prank on them.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Mu Jing's expression, quietly left the hall, and quickly ran back to her own bedroom.

If Mu Huo came out, he would definitely go to his own bedroom to find Mu Ying first.

No! We can't let Mu Huo take Mu Ying away now!

Before reaching the palace, one could see from afar the broken branches of the Qingqiao trees scattered all over the ground.

Mu Xiaoxi ran forward fearfully, and sure enough, she saw Mu Huo... and Qingqiao who had transformed into a giant tree blocking the entrance to the palace.

The trunk of his tree was cut by Mu Huo with some unknown method, and the scars on it were extremely hideous. The branches were chopped all over the ground, and were almost bald.

Mu Xiaoxi picked up a branch from the ground and threw it hard at Mu Huo.

Mu Huo caught it with his bare hands without even looking at it, then threw the branch back in the direction it came from.

Mu Xiaoxi tried her best to dodge it, but her flowing skirt that looked like smoke was torn into a big hole, revealing her flawless skin underneath.

Mu Huo on the other side didn't even look at Mu Xiaoxi, and black fire slowly ignited at the fingertips of his hands.

Mu Xiaoxi, a fan of the original novel, suddenly remembered that this was one of the villain Mu Huo’s special abilities: the ghost fire of the underworld that could burn everything.

"Qingqiao, retreat!"

Fortunately, Qingqiao listened to Mu Xiaoxi's words and immediately transformed into a human. He rolled twice on the ground and avoided the ghost fire of the underworld.

The will-o'-the-wisp fell on the broken branches and burned them to ashes in an instant.

Mu Xiaoxi only felt a flash of white light in front of her eyes - Oh, Qingqiao turned into a giant tree, and his clothes must have been torn to pieces... I don't know what his figure is like?

Just as Mu Xiaoxi was about to take a closer look, a piece of flying cloth covered her head and face.

Darkness can magnify a person's fear, especially when there is a villain standing in front of you whose resentment towards you is as high as 80.

Mu Xiaoxi panicked and tried to take the thing off her head, but no matter what she did, the cloth just wouldn't come off.

"Qingqiao! Help me!"

Before Mu Xiaoxi finished her words, a pair of arms that gave her a sense of security suddenly appeared, hugged her waist tightly, and quickly took her away in an unknown direction.

Mu Xiaoxi thought it was Qingqiao who was holding her, and felt relieved, but she heard Qingqiao's voice coming from a distance.

"Little Lord!!"

Mu Xiaoxi froze for a moment. The arm that was tightly wrapped around her waist looked like a red-hot iron ring in her eyes, burning her with fear.

"release."

Mu Xiaoxi didn't expect that Mu Huo would let her go immediately after she struggled for a bit.

After finally taking off the cloth on his head, he could see clearly that the cloth was actually Mu Huo's outer garment!

And now he was already in her bedroom.

Mu Xiaoxi looked around quickly and there was no sign of Mu Ying.

The door of the bedroom was not closed, but Mu Huo had placed a barrier around it.

Qing Qiao was stopped outside the barrier. He rushed over wearing a coat. His lips were pale and the sleeves of his left and right arms were empty.

Mu Xiaoxi closed her eyes and dared not look at Qingqiao again.

I can only blame myself for what I said to Qingqiao before the banquet, that I would protect Muying with my own life...

Mu Huo looked around and lost his patience. He turned around, grabbed Mu Xiaoxi's neck and pushed her against the wall.

"What about others?"

Mu Xiaoxi did not answer, but said coldly: "You actually hurt Qingqiao like this."

Mu Huo approached, his dark green eyes bewitching, "You and I are enemies, he works for you, I am lucky enough not to kill him."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled, but there was no smile at all, just sarcasm: "An enemy who is obsessed with the wedding day?"

Mu Huo looked calm, "I just tried to fill my stomach that night. If you're extremely hungry, what can you eat?"

Mu Xiaoxi clenched her back teeth, she was so angry that she just wanted to bite Mu Huo on the neck!

Perhaps it was because Mu Xiaoxi's strange gaze lingered on his neck for too long, Mu Huo tilted his head uncomfortably and tightened his hand that was pinching her neck.

"explain."

Behind Mu Huo, Mu Ying showed half of his head from under the invisible cloth and looked at his mother worriedly.

Mu Xiaoxi was suffocated by Mu Huo's pinching, and she scolded him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Talk about your sister."

Mu Huo moved a little closer, as if he wanted to push Mu Xiaoxi into the wall to vent his anger.

"Say!"

Mu Xiaoxi's breathing was intermittent due to being strangled. She looked at Mu Huo's face with hatred and thought that if she couldn't bite his neck, she could bite his face at least. She wanted to bite a bloody hole in his face!

If you have an idea, do it!

Mu Xiaoxi exerted force on his back, thrust forward suddenly, and opened his mouth facing Mu Huo's cheek.

But Mu Huo's hand increased its strength the moment Mu Xiaoxi resisted. Mu Xiaoxi only had time to take a deep breath on Mu Huo's face before being pushed back to his original position.
