Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 332: Chapter 341: Hatching of the Purple Demon Thunder Fox

”I’ve already told you, why keep asking me? It’s best to be forgiving and not push things too far. You are now a prominent figure here, so there’s no need to instill fear in everyone. It won’t do you any good. Besides, you’re not someone who craves fame and fortune,” Meng Ji said.

”Actually, I didn’t intend for it to turn out this way. I just wanted to scare Lin Ziping and the other person a bit, but once the words were said, I couldn’t take them back,” Chu Linfeng said with a helpless smile.

”Since it’s already happened, let’s just go with it. We can execute a few people as an example and let the innocent ones go. Leave this matter to Sima Pingchang; he should be able to handle it. Let’s head back!” Meng Ji said, looking at the chaos in the Liu Mansion.

After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Chu Linfeng relayed Meng Ji’s intentions to Sima Pingchang, leaving him to handle it while he went back to rest.

The next day, the news of the Liu Family being raided spread throughout the city, and by noon, Liu the Dog and his son were executed publicly. The others were exiled from Liuyun City, never to set foot in the city again.

Originally planning to kill them all, Chu Linfeng showed mercy because they were fellow townsfolk, sparing their lives. This act of leniency made the townsfolk admire Chu Linfeng’s magnanimity, something he hadn’t anticipated.

Lin Ziping and Zhu Hai were also released, but they became strangers to one another. Zhu Hai lost his cultivation and became a cripple for his disrespect towards Chu Linfeng, while Lin Ziping became mentally unstable, which might be considered their punishment.

Chu Linyue followed closely behind Yuwen Qingkong every day, with intentions so obvious even a fool could see them. Meanwhile, Chu Linhai became close friends with Wei Qun.

As for Lin Dong, Chu Linfeng made him the City Lord of Liuyun City, as a sort of settlement for Lin Ruoxi.

After staying at the City Lord’s Mansion for two days, Chu Yuankai entrusted Chu Yuanming with all the affairs of the Chu Family, effectively passing the role of Patriarch to him. Though initially unwilling to go to the Imperial City, upon Chu Linfeng’s insistence that the Prince’s Mansion needed someone capable, he reluctantly agreed.

That day, as Chu Linfeng’s group prepared to depart, many more joined the journey. Chu Yuankai and Sima Pingchang brought along capable family members, with Chu Linyue and Chu Linhai naturally among them.

Since the Golden Demon Vulture couldn’t carry so many people, they all had to ride horses. Chu Linfeng reassured them that upon reaching the Imperial City, there would be someone to receive them, urging them to travel at ease.

Wei Qun was left to protect the group en route, although unwilling, he had no choice but to obey Chu Linfeng’s command.

Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong returned to the Imperial City ahead of the others. Notably, the relationship between Chu Linyue and Yuwen Qingkong had taken an interesting turn, like kindred spirits, leaving Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji bewildered.

”Second Brother, have you really decided to go to the Sea Domain tomorrow?” Yuwen Qingkong asked while conversing with Chu Linfeng in a large hall.

”Indeed, I must go to the Sea Domain. I’m leaving the matters concerning my father to you. I will return immediately once I’ve completed my task,” Chu Linfeng replied.

”I’m afraid I can’t help you with this because I plan to go with you. You don’t object, do you?” Yuwen Qingkong said.

”You’re going too? Don’t you know how dangerous it is to go to the Sea Domain? I can’t agree to this. You better stay in the Imperial City where it’s safe,” Chu Linfeng immediately objected, not wanting to be responsible if anything happened to Yuwen Qingkong, as it would implicate his family.

”It’s not my idea, it’s Lin Yue’s suggestion. I thought you’d listen to her,” Yuwen Qingkong said, using Chu Linyue as a shield.

”Lin Yue? Is that girl out of her mind? She thinks this perilous journey is a game?” Chu Linfeng said, eager to give her a piece of his mind.

”Hehe, who said I’m going for fun? I’m going to train myself, to gain experience and improve my skills,” Chu Linyue said as she entered with Meng Ji.

The two bonded quickly due to Chu Linfeng, becoming like sisters.

Chu Linfeng looked at Chu Linyue and said, ”No, you two stay in the Imperial City. Don’t even think about this Sea Domain trip.”

Chu Linyue was about to speak, but Meng Ji stopped her, ”Lin Feng, letting them go isn’t a bad idea. The Sea Domain is dangerous, but as long as they behave, it won’t be a problem. Besides, having them along would make the journey more lively.”

”You think they can go too? Meng Ji, did Lin Yue offer you something for this?” Chu Linfeng asked, puzzled, feeling that Meng Ji’s usual aloofness wouldn’t allow her to agree without reason.

”Stop guessing. They’ve prepared everything to leave tomorrow. Refusing them would offend people. The Second Prince has been speaking highly of you to the Emperor, coveting to embark on this journey alongside you. Surely, you wouldn’t render his efforts in vain, would you?” Meng Ji smiled.

Although Chu Linfeng didn’t quite understand Meng Ji’s reason for wanting them to go, he trusted her intuition and said, ”Since you agree, what else can I say? Among us, you’re the most powerful. As long as you can protect them, it’s fine.”

”Certainly. The Second Prince has made arrangements for your tasks, and when your father arrives, Grand General Luo will personally assist you. You can focus on the journey,” Meng Ji said.

At this moment, the voice of the Sword Spirit suddenly appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind: ”Lin Feng, your little fox is about to hatch. Do you want to let them know?”

Upon hearing the Sword Spirit, Chu Linfeng felt a surge of joy and immediately said to the others, ”Since everything is decided, let’s rest early. I’m going back to absorb some Star Power.”

Chu Linfeng made a casual excuse to leave, bewildering the three, as it was just after noon, too early to rest. Besides, he hadn’t absorbed Star Power since returning, making his statement unusual.

Returning to his room, Chu Linfeng quickly retrieved the Magic Beast Egg, transformed from the Purple Demon Thunder Fox, from his Storage Belt. Noticing the shell starting to crack, it was indeed a sign that it was about to hatch.

He placed the Magic Beast Egg on the table and watched intently, feeling incredibly nervous. After a whole month, he finally would see the familiar Mei Xiaoxiao.

Minutes passed as Meng Ji and the other two quietly approached Chu Linfeng’s window. Through it, they saw the Magic Beast Egg on the table.

Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt appeared in front of them, followed by a palm-sized purple fox jumping out of the eggshell, covered in purple lightning.

The appearance of the purple fox, with four tails, puzzled the three. Just then, the purple fox spoke, startling them so much they almost fell.

”Big brother, thanks for your hard work. Finally, I’m out, Xiao Xiao missed you so much...”
