129: The Fox King and the Queen divorced?

"What are you doing here?"

The Fox King awkwardly said, "Mei Niang, can you open the door? I have something important to discuss with you."

Mei Niang, whose full name is Hu Meiniang, was the Queen's given name. Besides the Fox King, almost no one knew the Queen's name.

Even the Queen's origin was mysterious; even the Fox King wasn't entirely clear about it.

That's right! Hu Meiniang was not actually a member of the Phantom White Fox clan.

"Come in!"

The Fox King didn't know where to start, and then both fell silent, the atmosphere a bit strange.

"Speak quickly, and then get out!"

"Sigh! Mei Niang, you're still so fiery-tempered, but I'm used to it. If you suddenly became gentle, I really wouldn't be able to accept it."

Hu Meiniang rolled her eyes, not replying.

"We've known each other for almost a hundred years now, haven't we? I still remember what you looked like the first time I met you."

"Even though you were severely injured then, I still fell in love with you at first sight."

Hu Meiniang impatiently said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Sigh! Let's not talk about those things."

"Actually, I know you don't love me. The reason you agreed to be my Queen was more out of gratitude."

"Is that so or not?"

Hu Meiniang furrowed her beautiful brows, thought carefully for a moment, and indeed, when the Fox King had just become the Clan Chief, he was full of vigor and truly a handsome man.

But it seemed she hadn't felt that kind of heart-stirring emotion.

Seeing Hu Meiniang hesitate, the Fox King knew the answer, but he wasn't angry.

"Mei Niang, let's get a divorce."

"Or you can divorce me, just like Human Race men and women in the mortal world."

The Fox King's understanding of Human Race culture was probably flawed; it was common for men to divorce their wives, but unheard of for women to divorce their husbands.

The Fox King saw that Mei Niang didn't speak, and instead persuaded her, "You've long repaid my kindness to you. You can leave whenever you want."

"And... and if you meet someone you like, you must seize the opportunity."

Hu Meiniang suddenly looked up, staring intently into the Fox King's eyes, trying to see something in them.

However, she was disappointed; what she saw was full sincerity.

"Do you know something?" Hu Meiniang asked a nonsensical question.

The Fox King's expression was calm; he neither denied nor admitted anything.

"Are you sure you want to divorce? No regrets?"

"Certain! No regrets whatsoever!"

"Good!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The two clasped hands three times, swearing by it. From then on, they were no longer Dao Companions in name.

Without a divorce paper, and without the witness of relatives, friends, or elders, the two divorced just like that.

The Fox King breathed a sigh of relief, and the knot of melancholy between Hu Meiniang's brows also dissipated considerably.

Hu Meiniang suddenly asked, "How will you explain this to Nine?"

The Fox King thought for a moment and said, "Nine has grown up and has her own family. Actually, our matter won't affect her much, don't worry."

Mei Niang then said, "Let me tell her. We are both women, so it will be easier to talk."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

The Fox King also felt that it would be better for Mei Niang to tell her, especially since Nine and Mei Niang had such a good relationship, it was almost like...

"Then I'll go back first!" The Fox King didn't want to stay here too long.

The Fox King turned to leave, but Hu Meiniang suddenly said, "Wait!"

"Something else?"

Hu Meiniang said seriously, "You are a good Clan Chief. Although we are no longer Dao Companions in name, I hope we can still be friends."

"Of course! As long as you wish, this will still be your home."

"Mm!"

The Fox King turned to leave again, but Hu Meiniang teased, "You left something behind."

The Fox King didn't turn his head, but pretended to be profound, "What?"

"Nine Yang Pill!"

The Fox King stumbled, almost falling. At that moment, the Fox King was so embarrassed he wished he could die.

He had finally managed to be profound once, but what profundity was this now!

Nine Yang Pill! It's the Nine Yang Pill again! I hate the Nine Yang Pill!

Mei Niang shouldn't know the effects of the Nine Yang Pill, right? She shouldn't know, right?

"This... that... it's not mine, is it?"

Hu Meiniang's mouth almost split into a grin as she said, "Li Daoxuan specifically named you when he gave it, take it. It's useful for you! You need it!"

Hu Meiniang tossed it with her small hand, and the jade bottle flew directly into the Fox King's hand.

The Fox King clutched the jade bottle tightly in his hand, then ran away in a sorry state.

"Hahahaha..." Behind him, Hu Meiniang's hearty laughter echoed, laughing with such joy.

The Fox King was indeed a good Clan Chief. For the strength of the Fox clan, he could be said to have put in exhaustive effort, forgotten food and sleep, and neglected his Cultivation.

He had only been the Clan Chief and King of the Fox clan for a hundred years, and he had transformed from a handsome young man, like an exiled immortal, into a middle-aged man with a face full of the vicissitudes of life.

Yet Hu Meiniang remained as beautiful as ever, even more charming.

Although Cultivators have long lifespans, and many Cultivators don't care about age or appearance, the Fox King could completely use his powerful Cultivation to revert to a handsome young man.

However, appearance is born from the heart; if the heart is weathered, the appearance will naturally age.

For the Fox King to appear stable and majestic, the appearance of a middle-aged, weathered uncle suited him better.

Aboard the Flying Ship Warship, Li Daoxuan and Nine spent their days together.

Of course, the two would occasionally enter seclusion for Cultivation.

They didn't know that just now, the Fox King and the Queen had actually divorced.

In fact, Li Daoxuan also bore some responsibility for this matter.

Nine lazily said, "Husband, it's not good for us to stay in here all day, is it? Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"You can go out and wander around. As for me, I'll continue my seclusion."

"Then I'll go see Mother. I haven't seen her in days, and I miss her very much. Do you want to come with me?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head rapidly, refusing, "Not even if you kill me!"

"Why?"

"I... I'm afraid of your Mother!"

"Hehehe... Is there anyone Husband is afraid of?" Nine didn't mind, just thinking her husband was joking, and went out by herself.

Li Daoxuan secretly thought, that vixen is simply too terrifying.

With nothing to do by himself, Li Daoxuan began to study the Five Elements Reversal and Yin and Yang Reversal Array.

Since the last time it "ate its fill," that Primordial Spirit Power had been like it was asleep.

Li Daoxuan had always worried that when this guy woke up, it wouldn't devour all the Spiritual Power in his body, would it?

If that happened, it would truly be a tragedy.

Li Daoxuan tried to communicate with it, but that Primordial Spirit Power was like a sleeping child, ignoring Li Daoxuan completely.

"Little Pill Furnace, come out quickly."

Li Daoxuan directly summoned the mysterious Pill Furnace.

"What do you want from me, your great lord? Don't interrupt my sleep!"

Li Daoxuan: "I have a question I want to ask you. Do you think that Primordial Spirit Power in my body will wake up and devour my Spiritual Power?"

"Hahahaha... What are you thinking?"

"Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows. How could it possibly devour the Spiritual Power in your body?"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That puts my mind at ease."

"You can go back to sleep now."

"I @#*&!"
