Chapter 462: Chapter 340: Rescue! (Double Chapter)_2

If she were to die, leaving her daughter in the land of demons in Yuan Province would also be extremely dangerous.

After calming down slightly, she felt some regret and a bit of self-blame in her heart.

"Are you the person my daughter mentioned, Song Changming?" Xi Yanxue suddenly asked.

Song Changming nodded.

Seeing this, Xi Yanxue’s fox demon body suddenly transformed back into human form, and she dragged her injured body to bow deeply to Song Changming.

"You are my daughter’s benefactor, and mine as well. I will forever remember this kindness!" Xi Yanxue said sincerely.

"No, there’s no need..." Song Changming stood up, intending to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out.

The fox demon’s snow-white body was revealed, not covered at all, with only a thin layer of fur covering some parts.

As she bent down into a kneeling position, her voluptuous body resembling exquisite jade was fully revealed.

Being a fox demon, such allure made Song Changming feel a surge of indescribable heat inside him.

Song Changming immediately turned his back, coughing lightly.

Respecting her identity, even the most beautiful thing should not be overly observed.

Only then did Xi Yanxue realize her current state and quickly transformed back into her demon form, instinctively curling up her body to wrap herself with her nine tails.

"I lost my composure for a moment, pardon the embarrassment."

Having experienced much in life, Xi Yanxue quickly adjusted her mindset and spoke softly to Song Changming.

"This place is already beyond Cui Bai Dao, a desolate mountain area, not too far from the border with Yun Province. It should be safe, so I will not linger any longer," Song Changming said to the fox demon on the mound.

Having ventured out for the night, he needed to return to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Thank you for your care," Xi Yanxue nodded gently with her fox head, expressing her gratitude again.

Song Changming thought for a moment, then left some fierce beast flesh and a bottle of top-quality healing elixir from the storage pouch before departing.

"Song Changming," Xi Yanxue watched Song Changming leave.

"The one my daughter holds dear... "

"I only hope that in the future, Qingqing does not repeat my mistake."

"..."

After Song Changming left, half a day later, Jiang River suddenly appeared outside the cave.

"Were you satisfied with this trip?" he asked, shaking his head as he looked at the white fox curled up with closed eyes inside the cave.

"Are you here to mock me?" Xi Yanxue opened her red eyes, speaking softly.

"After you return, focus on quiet cultivation. I believe you aren’t far from becoming a Great Demon," Jiang River said slowly.

"Cultivation must be done, but I won’t let go of this grievance with the Su Family. Jiang River, don’t persuade me anymore," Xi Yanxue said coldly.

Jiang River sighed softly but wasn’t surprised.

Knowing Xi Yanxue’s temperament, it’s nearly impossible to make her completely let go.

"It wasn’t just a man’s heartlessness abandoning me, nor the Su Family attacking me, but because they wouldn’t spare my daughter either!" Xi Yanxue said furiously.

"In that case, be cautious. Even if you become a Great Demon, don’t act recklessly. Having lived in the Su Family, you should know that despite their decline, the Changsheng Clan’s heritage remains.

That reclusive elder still exists..." Jiang River said, walking into the cave to sit on the ground beside her.

"I know, next time I come, I will be fully prepared!" Xi Yanxue said firmly.

"And you, this time with the Su Family, you’ve torn through the facade."

Jiang River didn’t mind, adding several logs to the nearly extinguished fire and said.

"I was born into the Jiang Family, the Su Family daren’t concern themselves with me. As for personal face, I’ve only ever had dealings with Feng Ye."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yanxue fell silent again.

Jiang River glanced at the elixir and fierce beast flesh beside the mound, somewhat understanding, and said, "Did Young Friend Song bring it here?"

This wasn’t hard to guess, as Song Changming, who was familiar with Su Qingqing, was probably the only one willing to stand by Xi Yanxue’s side to help.

"How is this young friend?"

"He reminds me of you when you were young..." Xi Yanxue thought for a bit and then spoke softly.

"Ah, I thought you might say he resembles Feng Ye," Jiang River was taken aback, then laughed.

"Don’t mention him."

"Alright, I won’t mention it..."

"..."

Meanwhile, Song Changming sped through the air and quickly returned to the city.

The matter of Xi Yanxue didn’t stir much trouble in the city, but the Changsheng Su Family was affected in reputation among the noble families.

Mobilizing so many experts, yet failing to capture the arrogant fox demon, was frankly embarrassing.

Especially after the kidnapping incident involving Gu Xinyue’s group, these consecutive events had quite a negative impact on the Su Family’s reputation.

The position of the Changsheng Clan, once unassailable, quietly started to waver locally.

Song Changming’s actions didn’t draw anyone’s attention, nor did it affect his ability to check in for work at the military camp the next day.

The Su Family.

Patriarch Su Gongming received the tea handed to him by his new daughter-in-law with a smile and was very satisfied with the gentle Gu Xinyue.

"Feng Ye, from now on, you must treat her well and never let Xinyue suffer even the slightest grievance in our Su Family!"

"Father, Feng Ye will remember," Su Fengye replied with a bow.

"Alright, go, accompany your mother for a chat," Su Gongming nodded and said.

"Yes."

Once Su Fengye left with Gu Xinyue, Su Gongming placed down his cup, his smile quickly faded, and his expression turned cold, showing no trace of warmth.

"If it weren’t for Jiang River’s interference last night, Xi Yanxue would surely have been caught! How hateful!" Su Jizi clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

"Our Su Family treated him well, treating him as an honored guest, yet he recklessly disrupted this affair!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Su Shangyu frowned and said, "With the Jiang Family backing Jiang River, this matter has to be dropped. If it attracts the Jiang Family’s pursuit, it’s something our Su Family can’t withstand."

Speaking behind closed doors wasn’t a concern for losing face, they understood very well that the consequence of two Changsheng Clans being at odds was something the Su Family couldn’t endure.

Even though Jiang River disrupted their plans, they truly were helpless against him.

"Forget it, we’ll keep this account for later discussion," Su Gongming said, also feeling somewhat troubled by Jiang River, while rubbing his forehead.

"Regardless, the marriage is already done. Where’s the carriage of gifts sent to the Gu Family?"

"It’s already passed the Yun Province border," Su Shangyu replied.

"Good. If we can seize this chance to establish ties with the Gu Family, then our Su Family might have hope for revival..." Su Gongming said faintly.

At the moment, his chief concern was this matter.

"As for Xi Yanxue, she’s likely fleeing back to Yuan Province. Next time she dares come, we must be thoroughly prepared to ensure she doesn’t return!"

"Correct."

Three days later, Third District, Su Residence.

"Changming, where did you find this little lad, he’s awfully clever and well-behaved," Zhao Dongming said, watching A Da pour his wine steadily.

"He’s a poor child, met coincidentally," Song Changming replied.

"Young Friend is indeed kind-hearted," Jiang River remarked from beside the stone table.

"It’s nothing much, just happened to lack people to help at home," Song Changming shook his head and laughed.

Elsewhere, A Er began placing steaming dishes on the stone table, filling it completely.

Instantly, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, making Dahuang drool with anticipation.

"It’s been a while, these two guardian dogs have become even stronger?" Liu Xiangnan remarked, observing the robust Dahuang and White in the courtyard’s ferocious aura.

Jiang River examined more closely.

"Their bloodlines show signs of returning to ancestral traits, thanks to Young Friend’s care. These two house dogs, if they undergo demon transformation, might become even more remarkable.

Moreover, there are more treasure beasts in Young Friend’s home besides these two dogs..."

Jiang River laughed, casting his interested glance at the inner house window.

There, a little chick peered curiously around.

Seeing unfamiliar guests today, she timidly hid inside, not daring to step out.

On the eaves, the Little White Bird was much more daring, calmly observing the guests in the courtyard.

"Interesting," Jiang River said with a smile, yet didn’t further elaborate on the amusement.
