Chapter 2387: Trouble Befalls Hu Mei’er

“Alright, let’s do it this way. Aunt Ba, Clan Leader Murong, you two go and discuss first. We need to have another meeting with the Engineering Department, then I’ll arrange for the Engineering Department people to meet with you.”

Tang Ming smiled at Fox Bachang and Murong, then spoke.

The people on the Engineering Department side are actually from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range and the Twin Clan.

So, things on this side are easily arranged.

While Tang Ming was in a meeting, Tang Xishu couldn’t sit idle; she left the meeting hall alone and walked toward the backyard of the City Lord Mansion.

Tang Xishu maintained a good relationship with the two sisters-in-law following her parents. However, she heard that Tang Ming had married another woman in Taoyuan World. That woman was Hu Mei’er from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range.

Hu Mei’er was betrothed to Tang Ming by her parents, reportedly the relationship was quite good and could be considered a marriage of convenience.

Since she’s reconnected with Tang Ming, visiting her sister-in-law seems appropriate. Yet, when she arrived at the backyard of the City Lord Mansion, she felt a strong presence of demonic qi.

This demonic qi originated from that ancient Emperor of the Demon Abyss; only an ancient Emperor could exude such qi.

“Could it be that those old guys from the Demon Abyss have come to the City Lord Mansion?”

Tang Xishu took a deep breath; a treasure aura flashed over her body, concealing her entirely.

Upon returning to West Continent City, Hu Mei’er felt quite uncomfortable. Therefore, she hadn’t participated in many recent matters.

Tang Ming had personally examined her physical condition but found no issues. Only Hu Mei’er understood that her weakening stemmed from sensing a certain call.

The call became clearer and clearer; she also felt her power growing stronger.

Such occurrences wouldn’t happen to the Fox Demon Clan, meaning it must belong to her other half of the bloodline.

Hu Mei’er knew deeply what her other half of the bloodline was, and today, she felt that yearning again, the feeling she couldn’t resist, a force infiltrating her soul continuously, her gaze becoming confused.

Though the sky was bright with the sun high above, she saw a mass of darkness—a towering mountain, with a woman standing at its peak. She was exceptionally beautiful, adorned in a long black robe.

“No. Don’t.”

Hu Mei’er watched as the woman drew closer, yet she had to retreat.

Just then, a force emerged around her body; she felt warmth as cold sweat covered her instantly. A woman in a black cloth robe stood at her side, frowning as she watched her.

“Who are you? Why is your demonic qi so strong?”

Tang Xishu gazed coldly at Hu Mei’er.

Hu Mei’er twitched the corner of her mouth; she absolutely couldn’t let Tang Ming know about her current state; she didn’t want Tang Ming nor her father to know.

This woman was someone she had never seen before, likely sneaking into the City Lord Mansion. She couldn’t let this woman stay.

As the thought crossed Hu Mei’er’s mind, a murderous intent suddenly burst forth from her.

A black-red tail appeared behind her; the half-demon, half-fox visage emerged on her face, yet at this time, the demonic qi around her became even more intense.

Hu Mei’er didn’t realize that after revealing her true form, the sky darkened. The once clear sky swiftly turned overcast, making the entire West Continent City seem as if facing the apocalypse.

“What’s happening?”

Li Jiuhong raised his head toward the sky; Fox Jiuze and Mountain Ghost Granny beside him also had their pupils contract.

Mountain Ghost Granny was highly sensitive to the Demon Clan’s aura; she took out a jet-black bead, placed it in her hand, and it flew directly toward the rear of the City Lord Mansion.

“It’s the City Lord Mansion. Sound the alarm.”

Fox Jiuze glanced at the guards beside him and then spoke.

A piercing alarm rang out; Tang Ming was instructing Hu Jiusheng to cancel West Desolation City, as West Continent City was growing larger. Therefore, he wanted to construct a convenient and smooth road between West Desolation City and West Continent City.

He planned to build factories along this road, transforming West Desolation City into a backup base and adapting it to resemble West Continent City.

Tang Ming and others raised their heads; only Fu San frowned slightly, asking, “What’s happening?”

“It’s the alarm; there’s an external invasion. Let’s go check it out.”

Tang Ming stood up and was the first to head out. People inside the City Lord Mansion all focused their eyes on the backyard.

Everyone knew the City Lord Mansion’s backyard was Tang Ming’s residence, and the aura emanating from there was recognizable to anyone who had contact with Demons.

It must be the aura of the Demon Clan—and from a demon of formidable strength to possess such an aura.

“Who’s in your courtyard?”

Fox Jiuze landed beside Tang Ming.

Meanwhile, the nearby Hu Jiusheng seemed disturbed; he took a deep breath and said, “It’s her.”

“Who?”

The surrounding people looked at Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng revealed his true form and rushed toward that courtyard: “It’s her.”

Fox Jiuze understood something, her pupils contracting. Fox Bachang pursued: “Jiusheng Brother, don’t be impulsive.”

“It’s Mei’er.”

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly.

Hu Mei’er possessed the Demon Clan’s lineage, but never thought this bloodline would manifest like this.

Seeing Hu Jiusheng’s demeanor also made it clear; it was surely about his ex-wife.

When Tang Ming and the others arrived, Tang Xishu was already confronting Hu Mei’er.

The demonic qi around Hu Mei’er was extremely strong; however, compared to Tang Xishu, she was still lacking.

Perhaps recognizing the other as a Fox Demon, Tang Xishu identified her, so she didn’t take direct action against Hu Mei’er.

“Brother, you’re here. Look at Sister-in-law; how did she turn out like this?”

Tang Xishu’s gaze fell on Tang Ming.

Tang Ming then looked toward Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng’s hands trembled: “You really used me, didn’t you? What have you done to Mei’er? Why did she become this way?”

Hu Mei’er’s body quivered slightly; a cold voice sounded: “Hu Jiusheng, let me leave. If you let me go, I won’t harm Mei’er.”

“No way, Jiusheng Brother, don’t believe her. Remember how West Continent City fell back then. Fox Spirit Mountain Range’s formation, Descent Spirit Array.”

Fox Bachang’s body floated upward.

The elders of Fox Spirit Mountain Range followed her into the sky; numerous fox tails densely filled the air—the silhouette of a woman with nine tails appeared in the mid-air.
