The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

536 Breaking The Agreement

Hu Yu frowned. “It seems that they’re really not here for us, but for that flood dragon.”

She had always felt that Liu Sanniang was up to no good, but the truth was that it was really just a coincidence that they met.

It had been a month since the flood dragon failed to transcend the tribulation. Now, the flood dragon’s resentment was causing the flood, but there were masters present here already who had come to suppress it.

While Hu Yu was deep in thought, the other foxes waited at the side without saying anything. Their status was low, so in front of Hu Yu, they were just servants.

!!

Hu Yu had a noble bloodline and was the eldest miss of the fox clan.

Hu Yu’s expression kept changing from time to time. “Keep an eye on her and see if she has any other schemes. I’ll go and find my mother.”

Hu Yu was uncertain about Liu Sanniang’s words. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. In the end, she stood up and left.

She quickly arrived at an ordinary farmer’s house. Her mother, Hu Qiushui, was the house spirit of this family.

Hu Yu did not understand her mother’s choice. With her mother’s power, it was easy to become the house spirit of a rich and powerful family. However, her mother only said that everyone had their own desires. Some people wanted money, but others might not. Her Venerable was an extraordinary person.

Hu Yu walked into the Huang family and saw a woman in her thirties feeding chickens and ducks. A boy of about ten years old was sitting at the stone table painting. Hu Yu took a look at it and saw that the boy was painting his mother.

Hu Yu walked into the small house on the west side. This was the Huang family’s ancestral hall.

As soon as Hu Yu entered, she saw her mother sitting under the incense table cultivating. Seeing the presence of her daughter, Hu Qiushui opened her eyes. “Yu, why are you here? Did you get into trouble?”

Hu Qiushui went forward and grabbed Hu Yu’s hand to check her up and down. Her face gradually turned into that of a fox. She sniffed Hu Yu’s body and her expression quickly changed. “Who dared to hurt you?”

Hu Qiushui’s face immediately turned sinister. “It’s that snake from the mountain, right? Does she know that you’re my daughter?”

Hu Qiushui was an elder of the fox clan. Her cultivation was close to a thousand years, and she had the highest cultivation among the foxes. At the juncture of a thousand years, she would experience the lightning tribulation and either become an immortal or die. If she succeeded in becoming an immortal, she would enter the pure land.

Hu Qiushui had a daughter at an old age. Moreover, Hu Yu was the eldest daughter of the fox clan. Whoever dared to hurt her would be courting death.

Hu Yu stammered. “My cultivation is much higher than that snake. She’s just a lunatic.”

Hu Yu felt ashamed that a snake that had lower cultivation than her had actually managed to injure her. She was not here to ask her mother to avenge her. If she really did, that snake would definitely mock her for being a coward.

Hu Qiushui slammed the table. “Take me to find that snake. I’ll teach her a lesson.”

Hu Yu waved her hand. “No need. I’ll take revenge for myself.”

She was already a big girl. She was no longer at the age where she would go back crying and complaining to her mother when she lost a battle.

Hu Qiushui’s expression softened. She reached out and touched Hu Yu’s face. “Yu, you’ve really grown up. Sigh, how time flies!”

Hu Qiushui pulled Hu Yu to sit down and gave her a jar of incense ash and some good things to eat.

Only when Hu Yu left the Huang family did she suddenly remember that she had forgotten to tell her mother the most important thing.

Hu Yu turned around and wanted to walk towards the Huang family, but she was blocked by an invisible barrier. Hu Yu did not understand what was going on and could not help but shout from outside. “Mother, Mother, I have something important to tell you. Let me in.”

Hu Qiushui’s calm voice came from the room. “Yu, you’ve already grown up and can handle things alone. I still have to guard this family for fifty years. It’s not convenient for us to reunite. Go back to Fox Cave and cultivate well.”

Hu Yu stopped outside and was a little anxious. “Mother, I have something important to tell you. Let me in.”

However, no matter how she shouted, Hu Qiushui did not let her in.

Hu Yu paced back and forth outside for a long time and called out a few times, but Hu Qiushui did not respond. In the end, Hu Yu could only give up and leave.

As soon as Hu Yu left, Hu Qiushui removed the barrier. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes were filled with worry. If she died, who would protect her daughter?

Now, even a snake with a hundred years of cultivation could even bully her daughter. Without her protection, the other clans would not hesitate to wipe out the fox clan.

The door opened and Huang Ranshi walked in calmly. He was holding a plate of white chicken, which had been cut into pieces, in his hand and placed it on the incense table. He looked in Hu Qiushui’s direction. “Fox Spirit, you are still bound by agreement to protect my family for another fifty years. Are you really going to refuse to eat my offerings now?”

Hu Qiushui looked at Huang Ranshi coldly. “You broke the agreement and are here to act like you are a good person again. It’s my fault for failing to see through you back in the day. I didn’t know that you had such a powerful ability.”

Huang Ranshi smiled faintly. “It wasn’t my intention. It’s all fate’s fault.”

Hu Qiushui did not speak. Huang Ranshi put down the white chicken and stood up to get an incense stick to light up. Hu Qiushui blew on it and the incense was extinguished.

Huang Ranshi sighed. “Fox Spirit, I have no choice. I’m already looking for someone to think of a way. On the day of the lightning tribulation, I’ll definitely protect you and help you become immortal.”

Hu Qiushui sneered. “You must be joking with me. A portion of the flood dragon’s resentment can flood Jiangzhou to this extent, and I have to bear most of it. Can you find someone to help me tide over the tribulation? It sounds impossible.”

She found it funny and couldn’t believe it.

Huang Ranshi looked at Hu Qiushui. “Whether you believe me or not, what I said is true. I only have one son. If he dies, my wife won’t be able to take it. You have a daughter. You should understand how I feel. If something happens to your daughter, will you leave her in the lurch?”

Hu Qiushui looked at Huang Ranshi coldly. “This is not the same thing at all. It’s my fault for misjudging you back then. I just have to pay the price now.”

Huang Ranshi’s expression turned cold. “Whether you believe me or not, I mean every word I say. I’ll prove it to you.”

With that, Huang Ranshi stood up and left. Hu Qiushui only smiled coldly and did not even look at the chicken on the table.
