Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (103)

Zhuang Yulang’s sense of superiority from having taken the Snow Lotus Pill, which he once used to make a name for himself in front of the scholars, was struck down to half an inch. Whether it was Li Yufeng or Bai You, they were both far, far better than him. Even those scholars sponsored by Chu Xiang were not necessarily worse than him. They have not even taken the Snow Lotus Pill. He wasn’t at all impressive. He was nothing.

Bai Yi persuaded him kindly, but he was already devastated. He grew up with his mother, grew up with Bai Yi, and got married into the Jiang family. He really never achieved anything on his own. He couldn’t cheer himself up, and without the spirit, he couldn’t even write poetry. After Mrs. Jiang drove him out of the house in disgust, he gradually became a beggar. His life as the prime minister then only appeared in his dreams.

When the demon palace was built, the common people and all the monsters ushered in another national celebration, witnessing the enthronement of the Demon Emperor and Li Yufeng’s conferment ceremony. Before the Emperor left, he saw Chu Xiang give his son a title with his own eyes. He breathed his last with a smile, without any worries.

The unification of the demon race has bound the demons in the world by norms. Whenever an evil demon appeared, the demon generals would personally take care of the scourge without the demon hunters having to do anything. Oftentimes, the demon hunters complained to Li Yufeng that they were being robbed of their profession, but they were merely joking. Everyone liked the increasingly peaceful world.

Chu Xiang has a lot of knowledge that was considered advanced in this era. Her expertise and in the fields she knew nothing about, all of them have contributed greatly to this period. She and Li Yufeng were capable, and they realized everyone’s wish for peace and prosperity step by step. Even the territory of the country was constantly expanding to absorb more people.

Every time there was a disaster, Chu Xiang would still send demons to the forefront to help with the relief operations. In the event of a catastrophe, she would go out in person. Only then would the people remember that she was not an immortal who descended from the heavens but a demon.

Chu Xiang once tried her best to show her original form, but when the fiery red fox floated in mid-air, someone exclaimed, “Emperor Chu is really a vixen(aka fox fairy)!”

Someone next to him immediately reprimanded, “What do you mean vixen? That sounds like a cuss. Even if Emperor Chu is a vixen, she is the mightiest vixen in the world, a vixen of the royal family who has been sealed as the Emperor!”

Chu Xiang withdrew her power and landed just in time to hear these words. She could not help but smile. At first, she just thought it would be fun to be the demon king. Unexpectedly, she ended up receiving such a high evaluation.

Li Yufeng, who was by her side, said with a smile, “Let’s go, the most powerful vixen empress in the world. Would you like to visit this wonderful motherland with your husband?”

“Of course. After all, it is the motherland we carved with our own hands.” Chu Xiang took Li Yufeng’s outstretched hand and smiled as she flew with him into the distance. They had handed over the throne to the heir they had groomed to run the country for so many years. It was now time for them to roam free and enjoy what the rivers and mountains they had been governing looked like.

Bai Yi watched Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng leave and said with a smile to Bai You, “Let’s go, the two of them are going to play. but we can’t leave. We have to help the new emperor well.”

“Okay.” Bai You cared about the commoners right from the start, so he was naturally willing to accompany her. Besides, as long as he was with Bai Yi, he was willing to do anything.

At this time, a female voice sounded not far away, a little embarrassed and shy, “Just now, that scholar saved me just now, you say… How should I repay him? I heard from the seniors that you should repay kindness with your body…”

Bai Yi walked towards her and looked at the little rabbit demon as if seeing past self. She smiled and touched the head of the little rabbit demon and said, “To repay a kindness is to help your benefactor realize his wish without violating the laws and morality. This will make him happy. Giving one’s life to another is just a story handed down from the past, and has nothing to do with repaying a favor.”

“Oh, I see. I’d better find a way to repay him in the dark, then.”

Bai Yi shook her head and said, “I’m not saying you can’t marry him, but marriage is about fate. It shouldn’t be confused with gratitude. If you really like each other, what is the harm in being married? Go on, let nature take its course, and do not conceal anything.”

“Okay, thank you, Sister Bai!”

Bai You smiled and said, “Now you can also teach others. You looked like your sister just now. Did she teach you like this back then?”

When he mentioned Chu Xiang, Bai Yi smiled with endless warmth. “My sister taught me everything, so I’m naturally taking after my sister more and more. I am proud of it. In fact, my sister is my biggest benefactor, and repaying her kindness has nothing to do with giving my life to her. I just want to make her happy and do everything I can for her. I wish my sister could stay blissful forever and never be bothered by the things of the world, no matter where she is.”

“Most definitely, nothing can disturb her.” Bai You held Bai Yi’s hand, unperturbed by what he just said. Chu Xiang was their Emperor. No matter where she was, she would always… be an existence competing with the sun and the moon.
