“ naughty Fox!” Wenxin felt a mix of embarrassment and anger, her face flushed as she kicked Fox Man with all her might. Caught off guard, Fox Man instinctively recoiled in pain.
However, as soon as her lips left his, that suffocating feeling surged back within her like a tidal wave.
It was then that she finally realized Fox Man's true intentions, but it was too late. Accompanied by a powerful swirling current, Fox Man was swiftly swept away over ten yards. Anxious and desperate to chase after him, she found herself unable to control the strange current. After several forceful spins, she fell straight into a river with a splash.
Wenxin struggled to the surface, finally emerging beneath a large lotus leaf. She wiped the water from her face, looking around with confusion as she desperately searched for Fox Man.
The surroundings were quiet and desolate; at a glance, there was hardly any sign of life, the silence almost eerie.
Where was this place?
What had that current been?
Wenxin was utterly bewildered. After climbing out of the river and walking for nearly ten miles, she finally spotted some people: a group of men aggressively chasing an elderly man with white hair, the scene chaotic and tumultuous.
“No way, they’re even attacking an old man!” Wenxin’s compassion surged forth. Without hesitation, she rushed forward to cast her spells, scaring the thugs into fleeing in all directions.
The old man quickly expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, brave heroine, for your assistance.”
Just as Wenxin was about to exchange pleasantries, she suddenly noticed a plump woman running toward them, shouting angrily as she approached. “Jiang Shang, you useless old fool! I told you to sell meat properly in Chaoge City, but you insisted on fortune-telling! Look what happened now—getting beaten up!”
The old man looked embarrassed, but Wenxin stared in disbelief, her eyes wide as she exclaimed, “Jiang Shang! Chaoge City! Could you be—Jiang Ziya?”
The old man was also quite surprised. "How did you know, young lady?"
Wenxin was momentarily at a loss, silently exclaiming to herself, God, she had inexplicably arrived in the Shang Dynasty!
But what about the Fox Man?...
As she entered the city gates, Wenxin was deeply captivated by the bustling splendor of Chaoge City.
Although it was thousands of years ago in the Shang Dynasty, as the saying goes, "Food and drink are universal," so it wasn't long before she was drawn to the fragrant and steaming delicacies, her eyes filled with longing.
She strolled leisurely for quite a while, occasionally pulling something from her pocket. It turned out to be a small portrait she had drawn; the once elegant and handsome Fox Man had been transformed into a plump middle-aged man in her rendition.
She comforted herself, thinking that a strikingly handsome man like the Fox Man would still look better than ordinary ashes even if he turned to dust. Therefore, he should be easy to find—yet despite searching for two or three days without any news, she couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened.
After wandering for most of the day, Wenxin felt utterly exhausted and randomly found a shady spot to sit down and rest. Propping her chin on her arm, she unexpectedly dozed off after just a short while.
In the end, it was the commotion of passersby that woke her up. Blinking her eyes open, she saw a large crowd surging toward the direction of the palace, creating quite a spectacle.
She grabbed hold of a passerby and asked, "What's going on?"
"You must be new to Chaoge. Every month on this day, Consort Su passes through the city gates. Tsk tsk, she's the most beautiful woman in our Shang!"
Consort Su?
Could it be the legendary beauty, the national disaster caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox, Su Daji?!
Wenxin jumped up in excitement, secretly pondering that she had long heard of Su Daji's breathtaking beauty. Today, to have the fortune of seeing her in person was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!
She followed the crowd all the way to the palace gates, gazing up at the towering city tower. A group of elegantly dressed women glided past, and at the forefront was a young woman with a graceful figure and enchanting demeanor. Her face was veiled with a thin layer of gauze, making it difficult to discern her true appearance, yet every movement she made exuded an irresistible allure.
Wenxin quickly composed herself, fearing that she might inadvertently fall victim to the Nine-Tailed Fox's seductive magic. She couldn't help but marvel at how such power could captivate King Zhou so completely. It was no wonder that mere mortals found it hard to resist; even some celestial beings would likely bow down in admiration. Thankfully, she was a woman.
Wait, who was that guard behind Su Daji? He looked somewhat familiar.
As she focused her gaze, she recognized the playful glint in his eyes—wasn't that Fox Man?
But why was he at the palace, and why was he entangled with Su Daji?
