C10 I Am Not Daji(9)

Ou Ruoli's eyes were filled with disbelief. He and King Zhou had only just met each other, so they didn't really have any feelings for each other. Love was just a joke, and he didn't think that King Zhou would pay much attention to him.

"Brother Er, are you sure King Zhou fell sick because of a pet?"

The waiter took a sip of water and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I don't know about that. It was all spread by everyone. Didn't they say that there's no wind in an empty cave?"

The waiter leaned close to Ou Ruoli's ear and covered his mouth with one hand. "I even heard that Lady Daji was ignored."

"King Zhou has neglected Lady Daji?" Ou Ruoli did not believe it. He originally injured himself to make King Zhou feel guilty and then let him do as he pleased, but who would have thought that King Zhou did not take him seriously at all? While he was applying medicine over there, he was actually having a good time in the wine pool and meat forest.

"Yes, it has spread, but I don't know whether it is true or not. Young master, just listen to it."

Ou Ruoli laughed, his face full of peach blossoms. The second brother just stared blankly at him. When the surrounding people heard the silver bell-like laughter, they all looked over, their eyes filled with amazement.

"Brother waiter is quite open-minded. Tell your boss to eat with me. I'm also quite bored myself. Let's eat together and enjoy ourselves."

The waiter wanted to, but he couldn't. There were only two waiters, and if he didn't work, the other one would die of exhaustion. "Thank you, young master, for your kindness."

"Okay. Thank you, brother waiter."

"Alone?"

"Yes!"

"Together?"

"Yes."

He was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen, with a fine face, a clear voice, and a well-mannered manner.

"I see that you've been asking about King Zhou!"

"That's right."

"You admit it quickly. Why are you asking?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Tell me about it. I have a wide network of connections, so I might be able to help."

"Oh, but I'm fine. I'm just curious."

The youth's interest was piqued. He loved gossip!

"What are you curious about? Tell me about it. I'm curious too."

Any normal person would have thought that the young man was mentally ill and was gossiping with a stranger, but who was Ou Ruoli, the ancestor of the mentally unsound, and so the two of them began to talk one by one.

"Do you know why King Zhou is sick?"

"Oh, it's because of a beautiful fox."

"Really?"

"Really? I never lie."

This king?

Ou Ruoli blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.

"King Zhou only has his elder brother. What kind of Wang Family are you?"

The young man blurted out as he covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly.

"I'm from another country. I'm here to pay tribute."

Ou Ruoli did not believe him. From the looks of it, this person did not seem like he was here to pay his respects.

"Ji Fa?"

The young man was stunned for a moment before returning to normal.

"It seems that Young Master is also not a mortal?"

"That's right, I'm a vixen. Do you believe me?"

"I do. My soul is going to be hooked away. I am here to give you the information."

"Pfft, you are completely different from what is recorded in the books."

"Book? What book?"

"Oh, the Investiture of the Gods."

"How did you write it?"

"Nothing, I just don't know how to talk. I'm not that cute. I'm just a fool."

"That is different. What else do you want to know? I have been living in the palace recently. Do you want to come with me?"

"No need. I just want to chat."

"Then where can I find you?"

"I will come and see you."

"That's a deal."

"Of course. Oh right, I heard that Daji was ignored?"

"Yes, I heard that the beautiful fox was lost. King Zhou's internal fire rose and he was very sick. It has been a while since he went to court."

"Is the fox that important?"

"Then no one knows. I've never seen that fox before. It's said that it has some intelligence and is not very good-tempered. It keeps throwing tantrums."

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to have a good temper."

"What's your name? I'm afraid I won't be able to find you."

"My name is Ou Ruoli. Everyone calls me Ruoli."

"Then can I call you that too?"

"Haha, of course, we're friends."

"Ruoli, take this jade pendant and show it to the entrance of the palace. They will come and report to me. You must come."

"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. It's already dark. My family will be worried about me."

"Can I send you off?"

"No need to bother. This bead is passed down from my ancestors. Let's exchange. If you are in danger, it will save your life."

Before the young man could say anything else, Ou Ruoli had already left. He wanted to see if that King Zhou still had a breath of life left in him, and then anger him to death.

It was night, the moon was dark, and the wind was strong. Bah, the night sky was dark and the sky was clear. It was especially suitable for killing and arson.

Ou Ruoli transformed back into his original form and took small steps with the noble steps of a fox. With a twist of his little butt, he raised his proud little head and walked towards King Zhou's bedroom. Ou Ruoli was very confident. When the palace servants saw him, they all made way for him. Some of them widened their eyes in surprise. What Ou Ruoli did not know was how bad King Zhou's temper had been during his absence. In the past, offending Daji was the most terrifying thing, but now, facing King Zhou was the most terrifying thing.

Some of the palace maids only had bright and beautiful eyes before they were brutally treated by King Zhou. When they woke up and realized that it was not his little fox, they immediately dragged it out and chopped it into pieces. Many of the palace maids felt insecure, and no one knew what had happened to the usually dissolute King Zhou. Although he used to have a violent personality, he had always been lenient with women.

Even King Zhou didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since the little fox saw him and Daji disappear, his subconscious had formed the habit of not being close to women. The little fox would turn hostile.

So when King Zhou heard the news that the little fox had returned, he immediately ordered his men to change the bedding and fetch water for a bath.

He did not know if he had the scent of a woman's rouge on him, or if there were any traces of a woman on the bed, and he was afraid that the little fox, who had come back with great difficulty, would find out what he had done the other day and go away again in a fit of anger.

"Come and smell me. Do you smell rouge on my body?"

After King Zhou bathed, he called over his subordinates, who had a keen sense of smell, and sniffed his body like a sniffer dog. He only felt at ease after confirming that there was really no scent that belonged to anyone else.

Lying back on the bed, he waited for the little fox. He wanted to let the little fox see how worried he was for him.

"Squeak!"

When the guards at the door saw the little fox, tears of joy welled up in their eyes. Ou Ruoli was so scared that he did not dare to step forward, afraid that there would be a trap waiting for him once he entered.

The guard opened the door for Ou Ruoli to enter the hall and then silently closed the door.

The moment Ou Ruoli entered, he was truly frightened...
