When Su Li Mei went back, she didn't see Ji Xi'er and guessed that this woman must have gone out to play. She really couldn't stay for more than a quarter of an hour. How could he possibly tell her that he was the one who transformed the little white snake? If the mighty Demon Emperor turned into the little Mengmeng Snake and approached a woman to remove her wariness, wouldn't the news become a joke in the Three Realms?

He left the room, took a few steps, and came to the door of a small study.

According to Lu Qi and Lu Yi, she would spend the next few days hiding in the cave to draw. Furthermore, she didn't need to draw with a pen or ink. Instead, she asked them to bring some charcoal.

According to the description of the two maids, she could draw a vivid picture with charcoal, and it looked like it was real. He was curious as to what kind of painting could cause them to praise it to such an extent. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to investigate.

As he interacted with her, he noticed more and more that this little girl had a lot of strange ideas. They were both novel and fun to him, causing his emotions to involuntarily stir up.

Pushing the door open, he walked in.

These past few days, she hadn't really cared about Ye Ci, but she had instead found a small piece of land for herself. Looking at the layout of the study, even though it was small, it was very warm and quiet.

On a table not far away, there were several pieces of paper placed on top of the inkstone. It should be the "Heaven Shocking" painting that Lu Qi and the others had mentioned!

The figure in white slowly walked over and saw the first painting.

It was a modern sketch, carefully depicted in strips of carbon, of a pool of waterlily that had come out of the mud and not stained it. It was a pure white paper. It was a monotonous black. However, it was as if she had drawn a soul. It was colorless, colourless, and extremely lifelike. Even he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He did not expect that this woman was not so useless. Using ordinary charcoal to draw such a stunning painting was much better than painting with ink and ink.

He moved the inkstone and read it one by one.

Green Bamboo, Orchid Flower, Wipe Willow... It wasn't until the last one that the picture began to change.

The first few were landscape paintings, while the last one was a human painting.

He picked it up and examined it carefully. Suddenly, his expression became grave and his eyes revealed disbelief. Because of his excitement, even his hands were trembling violently.

This... How was this possible?

In the painting, there was a beautiful young girl. She was wearing modern clothes and a modern outfit, but he definitely wouldn't recognize her face. That was … Zi Xuan!

In the lower right-hand corner of the portrait was her inscription... Self-portrait, Ji Xi'er.

What did self-portrait mean? This woman in the painting was clearly Zi Xuan! The shock in his heart could no longer be described with words.

He rushed out of the room like a madman. He wanted to see her immediately and ask her about everything.

It was at this moment that Ji Xi'er was rushed back along with the missing green girl. When she saw him, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Monarch, it's bad, the Empress has disappeared!"

"Where is she?"

"We accompanied the Empress to the Imperial Garden. She ran very fast, and after a while, she disappeared. We searched for a long time, but could not find her, so we hurried back to report to the Emperor." Although the two of them were maids under the orders of Su Li Mei, they had indeed grown to like this mistress, so they were very worried for her.

Su Li Mei couldn't wait any longer. With a flash of silver light, she disappeared.

"..."

She knew that the original owner of her body was a fox princess. If the foxes wanted to rebel, they would definitely view her as a thorn in their side, but she had already given Su Li a chance to frame her for her crime, yet he did not expose her. She did not even know what Su Li Mei wanted.

"What do you mean?" Perhaps she could get some information from Shang Moxue.

"Right now, the demon realm is already a place of internal and external troubles. The fox race still dares to add insult to injury at this time. This King has long wanted to take action. Since Mei doesn't want to make a move, then let me get rid of you, a fox spy for the demon realm! "

Blue light condensed in his palm, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.

Ji Xi'er was startled and cried out, "You …" What do you want? You can't kill me, or else you'll definitely regret it. "

Her heart was filled with regret. Why didn't she just stay in her room and run out to touch this bad luck? She didn't want to die!

Hearing her last sentence, Shang Moxue frowned, "If I don't kill you, then I will regret it. I am about to die, what other tricks are you trying to play?"

"If you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason, right? Why don't I remember that there is a deep grudge between you and the Wolf King, to the point where you have to kill me? "

She wanted to poison Su Li at first, but she didn't do it in the end. Later, when he saw through it, he did not say anything. Why was this Wolf King so excited?

"You still dare to pretend? Do you really think that the despicable ways of the fox tribe can be hidden from the world? Or do you think that this king will allow you to really poison the Monarch? "

Ji Xi'er understood what he meant. He was indeed referring to the matter of Yue Wuxiu asking her to poison Su Li. It turned out that they already knew about it.

She was too naive, this was the demonic world, they were all powerful and powerful demons, and were not ordinary mortals. It was easy for them to monitor her and Yue Wuxiu's conversation, but only she herself was silly, naive enough to think that she could get what she wanted.

Right now, he still had to hurry up and make his position clear in order to protect his own life.

"Please don't misunderstand. I didn't want to poison the Monarch, nor did I want to harm him!"

"You despicable and shameless woman, father and daughter colluding together, you dare to be stubborn even when death is at hand?"

Ji Xi'er had never been scolded so harshly in her life before, so she was a little angry now.

"As for you, the king of the wolf world, you don't even know the most basic of principles. This is the Supreme Palace of the demon realm, no matter how much courage I have, I would not dare to play tricks in front of your eyes right? Furthermore, Su Li Mei is truly dead, and I will be the first one to go after her, so I will definitely die.

Shang Moxue snorted coldly, "You are a fox princess, naturally everything is for the sake of the fox race, it is not a loss to sacrifice you."

Originally, the Lunar Silk Smoke had died and was resurrected. Although he had questioned that the Lunar Silk Smoke was not the Lunar Silk Smoke that he once had, upon seeing her conducting a trade with Yue Wuxiu, he was certain that this was the fox race's scheme.

"I suppose you've heard about my amnesia? Su Li, Gui Yue, Wu Xiu, and everything else is very unfamiliar to me. When he forced me to poison Su Li Mei that day, wouldn't it make him even more suspicious if I rejected him directly? So, I had to agree to it temporarily.

"Sometimes, it might not be true even if you see it with your own eyes. Maybe he has his own difficulties. Even if I really am father and daughter with Yue Wuxiu, right now, he is only a stranger to me. Why would I take such risks for a stranger? " Ji Xue-er was moved by Ji Xue-er's sentiments. She had already said this much, it would be too much if she were to continue making things difficult for her.

Hearing her words, Shang Moxue's eyes slightly narrowed, as if considering the authenticity of her words.

Ji Xueyan watched the blue light fade away in his hand. She heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally out of danger.

However, he didn't expect that in the next second, an azure sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand. It exuded an eerie coldness as the tip of the sword was pointed in her direction.

"You would rather kill a thousand wrongly than to let off a single one of them. You should just leave your grievances to the King of Hell!"

Ji Xiu-Er was shocked and quickly closed her eyes, feeling a little sad. She tried hard to protect herself, but it was all for nothing. She did not want to die, but what was the use?

Her heart was filled with fear of death, but the pain she imagined did not come. She only felt her body lighten as someone grabbed her waist, but she did not dare open her eyes. Her entire body was trembling slightly.

Only when she heard an angry roar did she slightly regain her senses.

"Mei, do you know what you're doing?"

"These words should be something This King should ask you. What do you want to do with This King's beloved concubine?" An obvious look of anger appeared on Su Li's handsome face. Even if he was his good brother, he couldn't accept it.

He was just a step away. Luckily, he arrived in time, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to imagine … Shang Moxue really had the intent to kill. If he were to use his sword on her, she would definitely die. He didn't know what he was feeling at the time, just like how he had helplessly watched Zi Xuan jump down the Immortal Execution Altar. He was nervous, worried, and even felt a bit of heartache.

Back then, he hadn't been able to save Zi Xuan in time, but now, he couldn't repeat the tragedy from back then.

"I am doing this for the Demon World. This woman cannot be left alive, she must die!"

Ji Xi Er opened her eyes and saw Su Li Mei in front of her. He had just saved her, and she was in his arms. If he did not do anything, she would have been dead for sure.

Shocked and wronged, her nose soured as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Su Li Mei, why did you only just come? I was so scared, I almost couldn't see you again!"

Su Li Mei patted her back gently to comfort her, her sharp eyes looking at Shang Mo Xue.

"This King told you long ago not to touch her. Mo Xue, I hope this will be the last time." They did not intend to pursue the responsibility of their good brothers, so they all agreed to it tacitly.

"Why must you protect this woman? She is a fox spy. Keeping her by your side for just one day would be detrimental to us. Maybe she would have already leaked the secret of the Imperial Palace before you knew about it!" Shang Moxue was truly infuriated, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were practically about to spew fire.

"She won't!" Although Su Li Mei's tone was slow, there was a trace of determination in her voice.
