Chapter 228: Heart Demon Breaks Love (Part )
Last time, we talked about Li Yi being worried that Yu Feng had recognized him and planning to have a talk with him. So what will they talk about? Let’s read on.
Li Yi came to Yu Feng's residence and knocked on the door, saying loudly: "Mr. Yu, go to sleep! Well, there's nothing else to say, I just want to tell you that your posture is wrong, get up and go back to sleep."
"Who is it, coming to see my husband in the middle of the night, and talking in such a weird way?"
"Who else could it be? Taoist Li. Who else would be so crazy? You go to sleep first. I'll go take a look." Yu Feng said to Li Yi outside the door, "Please ask Taoist Li to wait for me in the study. We can talk there."
Li Yi and Yu Feng came to the study room. As soon as the door was closed, Li Yi used his talent to block out the sound. Yu Feng smiled and said, "Are you not going to pretend anymore?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Since you've been exposed, why are you still pretending? Brother Yu, your Yu family is in great trouble this time, and I came here specially to save you!"
"Fox demon? You're still talking about the fox demon even though I've seen through you? Li Lefu, do you think everyone is a fool?"
Li Yi took out nine white fox skins from a sack and placed them on Yu Feng's desk. He said seriously, "Brother Yu, come and take a look. Have you ever seen a white fox of this quality?"
Yu Feng looked at the fox fur and wondered, "It is indeed top-quality fox fur, but what does that prove? Just a few rare white fox furs, do they mean there is a demon in my Yu Mansion? What a joke!"
"These white foxes are mostly found in the north or in the ice and snow fields, and I shot all of them around Yu Mansion. You should be able to tell that their skins are freshly peeled, right? So the question is, why are there so many white foxes in Kuaiji and around Yu Mansion?"
"Even if that's the case, that doesn't prove that there is a demon fox trying to harm my Yu family, right?"
"When did Liu die? Although it is impossible to determine the exact time of death after being soaked in water, it is at least certain that she has been dead for more than two months. Brother Yu, why don't you think about it again? When did Liu gain Yu Luan's favor, and even supported Liu to the position despite his father's opposition?
But Yu Luan clearly said that he was in love with Liu not long ago, so who was the impersonator during this period? Why did she want to get close to Yu Luan? There are nine fox skins here, what do you smell, brother Yu? "
Yu Feng sniffed it and asked in confusion, "It doesn't smell like blood or fox, but rather a faint fragrance! Could this be the aura of a demon?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "You may smell only a faint fragrance, but I can smell the aura of a fox demon hidden under this faint fragrance. Not only that, I can also use these nine fox skins to lure the fox demon to appear, but I need the cooperation of the Yu Mansion."
Yu Feng was surprised and said, "You really have a way to lure the demon fox to show up? Well, I want to see where the demon fox comes from! How do you want us to cooperate?"
When Li Yi told Yu Feng about this, the latter shook his head and said, "Impossible! Third Uncle will never agree to you doing this! Besides, Jin Yao won't agree either!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Hey, that may not be the case. Brother Yu, why don't you think about how I knew I was exposed?"
Yu Feng was suddenly looking for something on the table. Li Yi smiled and said, "No need to look for it. The "Zhongxuan Collection" and the piece of paper are both with Jin Yao. She told me that!"
Yu Feng suddenly realized, "So you are targeting Jin Yao! You are such a talented and romantic man. So, it was you who pretended to be Shen Lu and teased Jin Yao recently! You want to drag the prince into the water and deal with the Shen family together!"
"It's convenient to chat with smart people! How about we talk about cooperation? I'll help you ruin the marriage between the prince and Jin Yao, and eliminate the fox demon who wants to harm you. Your Yu family will help me deal with the Shen family!"
"Li Yi, you want to destroy my family's marriage, and you want us to help you deal with the Shen family?"
"Yu Da wants to use the prince's power to seize the position of the head of the family. Don't tell me you don't know!"
"Then do you know that my father acquiesced to this matter in order to leave a way out for the Yu family?"
"A way out? Your mother has already left a lot of options, not to mention the crown prince! Besides, I think the crown prince is a cruel person and definitely not a tolerant ruler. Now the Yu family openly supports the third prince. If the crown prince ascends the throne, the Yu family will definitely be branded as being indecisive, and the future will be worrying!"
Yu Feng pondered for a moment, looked at Li Yi and asked, "How do you plan to disrupt this marriage?"
"Emperor Liang cares most about the reputation of the royal family. He will never allow a woman with rumors to marry into the royal family."
"You want to ruin Jin Yao's reputation! No, this is absolutely not allowed! If something really goes wrong, it will be a loss for my Yu family!"
Li Yi smiled and said, "What if Young Master Shen admires Jin Yao and makes trouble himself?"
"Shen Lu? Hiss, Shen Lu's disappearance is related to you? You kidnapped Shen Lu! Yes, in this way, Third Uncle will definitely hate the Shen family, and we can work together to deal with the Shen family! Maybe there is a possibility of resolving the past grudges!"
"Right, Brother Yu is right to think so! So we have a deal?"
"Li Yi, how can you be sure that Jin Yao will help you? Or have you already..."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't let your imagination run wild! How to convince Jinyao is my business! It's true that I have my eyes on her, but everything I do is based on the basic principles of equality between men and women and mutual consent. I haven't done anything dirty!"
"Humph, is it not considered a dirty thing to break into a boudoir at night and knock out a maid? I wonder what is considered a dirty thing in Li Yuefu's eyes!"
Li Yi said awkwardly: "If you don't believe me, you can go ask Jin Yao and ask her if I have done anything out of line! Hey, someone is coming!" Li Yi's ability to block the sound was destroyed. He immediately withdrew his ability and looked towards the door.
"Brother Feng!" Jin Yao's voice came.
Yu Feng smiled and said, "Humph, it looks like we can have a face-to-face confrontation. Please come in, sister!"
Yu Jinyao stepped inside, bowed and said with a smile: "How was Brother Feng's conversation with the thief? The thief is very skilled. I was afraid that Brother Feng would suffer, so I came to take a look."
"Why did my sister come here alone? Where is Xiao He?"
Jin Yao pointed at Li Yi and said, "I was knocked unconscious by this thief."
Yu Feng sneered, "Just now, Li Yuefu said righteously that he had never done anything dirty to me. What do you think?"
Jin Yao blinked and asked, "If I tell Brother Feng that this thief has done many bad things, has broken the rules several times, and even sat on the same bed with me, can Brother Feng help my sister get justice?"
Yu Feng squinted at Li Yi and asked, "Li Yi, what's your excuse now?"
Li Yi frowned and walked up to Jin Yao and asked, "What do you mean by that? It's as if I have offended you in some way."
"Did I say something wrong?"
Just as Jin Yao said the last word, Li Yi suddenly kissed her. She tried to escape but was held by Li Yi and couldn't get away. Yu Feng looked at the two of them in great embarrassment, but he had no choice but to avoid it.
When Li Yi let go of Jin Yao, he said to her gently, "This is considered breaking the rules, okay?"
But on the last word of Li Yi's "ba", Jin Yao took the initiative to kiss him back. Yu Feng looked at the two of them even more awkwardly, but he still couldn't avoid it.
This time, the two of them hugged each other and kissed passionately. Jin Yao closed her eyes, feeling Li Yi's soft and warm lips; leaning against Li Yi's strong and broad chest; and stroking Li Yi's flat and tough shoulders.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Feng couldn't stand it anymore and cleared his throat. The two separated, Yu Jinyao blushed and dared not look directly at Li Yi. When the latter was about to speak, she ran away. Li Yi looked at Yu Feng and said awkwardly: "Brother Yu, you have seen it all. All this is based on emotion and ends with courtesy. Well, now Brother Yu believes that I can convince Jinyao, right?"
Yu Feng sighed helplessly: "Alas, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that Sister Yao would do such a thing! This is simply..."
"Hey, that's enough! We have settled the matter now! Let's go back and prepare. Watch me capture that demon fox alive at midnight the day after tomorrow!"
The next evening, Li Yi came to Zhang Hongchen's room, knocked on the door and said, "Hongchen, look what good stuff I brought you!"
With a crash, the door opened, and a hand reached out, grabbed Li Yi's collar and pulled him into the house.
With a clang, the door closed and a voice came out, "Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"
"Stop talking nonsense! I've done so much work with you these past few days, it's time to pay you!"
"I have something better than wages!"
"You are kidding me! What good things can you have?"
"You complained that the fox fur was too small before, so I made this thousand-year-old fox demon fur cloak for you!"
Zhang Hongchen suddenly stopped, looked at Li Yi with an incredulous look and asked, "Thousand-year fox demon? How can you be sure that fox demon has cultivated for a thousand years?"
Li Yi replied, "It takes at least a hundred years for an animal to cultivate to become a demon, and at least five hundred years to cultivate to the point where it can change at will. This demon fox is even more special. I looked up some books about demons. After this demon fox cultivates the ability to change, it can grow a tail every hundred years. After another nine hundred years of cultivation, it will become a nine-tailed fox, which means it has cultivated for a thousand years."
Zhang Hongchen asked in confusion, "Are you saying that the fox demon that targeted Yu Jinyao is the Nine-Tailed Fox? A thousand years of practice can't defeat a twenty-something kid like you?"
Li Yi said proudly: "My situation is a bit special. There is no need to explain my life of cheating. You just need to know that I can defeat it. To be more precise, it is my white feather arrow that can defeat it! That is Hou Yi's arrow. This guy likes to go to Qingqiu to hunt demon foxes when he has nothing to do, forcing the demon foxes to migrate with their entire clan."
"The Dongyi Guards call you Lord, so what is your relationship with Hou Yi?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "I guess he is a descendant, just like Houyi is the descendant of Dayi. If you have to explain it, it means that he inherited a part of the soul. For example, Dayi was the first first-class warrior of the human race, and Houyi was the descendant of Dayi, with a second-class cultivation. As for me..."
"Humph, compared to those two, you are just a piece of trash. You haven't even entered the Transcendent Realm, right?"
Li Yi chuckled and nodded indifferently. It's not that Li Yi cannot enter the extraordinary realm now, but that he doesn't want to enter. The heavenly thunder after he obtained part of Hou Yi's celestial soul was the secret given to him by God, and his choice was to suppress the realm and not break through for the time being.
The reason was simple. He had heard from Dugu Long that if a person in the third-grade extraordinary realm could not be promoted, his life span would be limited. So far, no third-grade extraordinary realm master had lived for more than fifty years without being promoted. How old was Li Yi this year? He was twenty-three years old. Now he had entered the extraordinary realm, and he could live to seventy-three at most? That was no joke. Our great talent Li wanted to live two more years!
Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not completely useless. Well, show your fur coat to your sister."
Li Yi reached out and took out the leather cloak that he had designed from the sack, and then had a specialized tailor rush to make it. When Zhang Hongchen saw this piece of clothing, he was speechless!
How should I put it? This is not a fox fur coat at all. It is clearly a large cross-country vest with a neck cover, and it is an open-chested one. It is no exaggeration to say that the campus swimsuits of female middle school students in the island country are more concealing than this one!
Zhang Hongchen picked up the fur coat and put it on, stroking the soft and smooth fur, smelling the faint fragrance of the fox tail collar, and smiled: "Well, this coat is really good. Although it is not very practical and not warm, it is still very nice."
Li Yi stroked his chin and whispered, "The design concept of this leather cloak is actually to not wear clothes underneath."
Zhang Hongchen narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Yi with a teasing expression, and said charmingly: "Oh, so that's how it is. Li, the great talent, wants to go back to the days when he was hungry and poorly clothed. You have so many tricks! Okay, then I will grant your wish!"
"Wait! You've worked hard these past two days, so I should reward you. But I'm exhausted, so why don't you let me go tonight? Tomorrow night, I'll fight you until dawn! How about that?"
