"And I remember..."
Jing Yuan sighed. Reason told him that it was best not to mention the things Bai Zhi had mentioned to him before about the fox-people.
After all, Fei Xiao now seems desperate to abduct Bai Zhi.
If that information were to be leaked later, he felt it would be difficult to guarantee that Feixiao wouldn't do something outrageous.
However, regardless of the circumstances, this news concerns the future of the fox-people.
Even if he does have ulterior motives, he shouldn't try anything funny about this.
"Remember what?"
Fei Xiao keenly noticed Jing Yuan's hesitant expression.
"Sigh... General Feixiao, it's not the right time to talk about this. Look at all the ruins around us. Let's go eat first and then talk about this over dinner."
"So mysterious?"
"Yes, this matter needs to be announced by Xiao Baizhi."
Jing Yuan looked at Bai Zhi and gave a bitter smile.
It seems I need to think about how to deal with Feixiao, who might go berserk later.
Sigh, we still need to call Elder Yan, so the two of us can suppress Feixiao together.
"Something that Xiaobaizhi was asked to announce?"
Fei Xiao looked at Bai Zhi with some confusion, "What is so important that you can't tell me now?"
"This is quite important; it could have an impact on the entire fox-people race."
"It will affect the entire fox-people race?!"
Upon hearing this, Fei Xiao's spirits lifted, recalling what Jing Yuan had previously told her.
She suddenly had a bold guess.
Is it possible...
Chapter 734 Qingqiu Treasure Jade
“General Feixiao, we are eating, not on the battlefield, so there is no need to follow the principle of speed in war. Chewing slowly will allow us to better appreciate the taste of the food.”
During the banquet at Shence Mansion, Jing Yuan looked at Fei Xiao, who was wolfing down his food, and said helplessly.
"No, it's just my habit."
Feixiao mumbled through his food, looking at Baizhi with expectant eyes.
"Hehe, it seems our General Tianji is in a real hurry."
Huaiyan smiled broadly, and Jingyuan could only give a wry smile in agreement.
Anyone could see Fei Xiao's true thoughts from his demeanor; he just wanted to hear Bai Zhi talk about that matter as soon as possible.
"Little Angelica, stop keeping us in suspense. Look at General Feixiao, he's practically glued his eyes to you."
Jingyuan turned his head and said to Baizhi, who was drinking a sip of juice.
"Ahem, actually I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry."
Fei Xiao said this, but his eyes were still fixed on Bai Zhi without blinking.
"Alright, alright, since Sister Feixiao wants to hear it, then I'll tell you."
Bai Zhi was amused by Fei Xiao's look.
How to describe it? It has that unique, wistful feeling of a canine, a mixture of pitifulness and anticipation.
"Really? Tell me already, I can't wait!!"
Feixiao immediately put down the food, and even her originally straight ears seemed to stand up even more. If she had a tail, it would probably be excitedly waving around by now.
Clearly, Fei Xiao didn't want to miss a single word Bai Zhi was about to say, and he was extremely focused.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell Feixiao right away."
Bai Zhi smiled, then stretched out her hand, and the Qingqiu Jade appeared in her palm.
“This thing?!”
When the Qingqiu Jade appeared in Bai Zhi's hand, Fei Xiao immediately had a strange feeling. This jade, which was carved with a nine-tailed fox, seemed to be emitting a power that made her feel restless and her blood rush.
Of course, this was not a negative feeling; on the contrary, it was a positive one. She felt like she was in a strange state of pleasure.
"The Qingqiu Jade will have a rather special effect on the fox clan, but to be honest, I haven't tested it yet to see exactly what that effect is."
Bai Zhi didn't say anything definitive, since the system's explanations were rather vague. It mentioned evolution, but in which direction?
What if this is a fox spirit's old profession? Her charm level would be greatly enhanced.
Ok……
Bai Zhi pictured Fei Xiao with her charm fully enhanced.
This was already a gold miner, renowned for its bravery; if it evolves further, what will it become?
It's hard for her to say.
"Let me try it!"
Feixiao said without hesitation.
“That won’t do, General Feixiao. I understand your thoughts, and the things that Xiaobaizhi provides generally don’t have many side effects, but as a general, you must prioritize your own health.”
Jingyuan immediately stopped Feixiao's actions.
“Yes, as a general, one cannot act rashly. Feixiao, you can find a fox-person who is willing to conduct the experiment. We will also find some professional medical teams to calculate the relevant physical data.”
Huaiyan also strongly agreed with Jingyuan's idea.
Upon hearing this, Fei Xiao was somewhat disappointed, but she also knew that Huai Yan and Jing Yuan were right. As the commander of the Cloud Cavalry of the Yao Qing Immortal Ship, she could not take such risks so casually.
"I apologize, I was too hasty. Elder Yan and General Jingyuan are absolutely right. However, speaking of calculating physical data, my advisor and military medic, Jiaoqiu, would probably be very eager to come if he knew about this..."
Fei Xiao sighed, "He drank the poison earlier, intending to provoke Hu Lei and make him drink the poisoned blood, but he didn't expect Xiao Baizhi to protect him."
"But with such a large dose of medication, he's still in a dangerous state and probably can't come here."
Thinking of Jiaoqiu's condition, Feixiao was somewhat worried. Although it wouldn't be fatal, the aftereffects of so much poison would likely be quite severe.
"I wondered what it was about. General Feixiao, you should have said so earlier. This matter could have been resolved by Xiaobaizhi. In terms of healing, she is the best in Luofu. Even Bailu Longnu cannot compare to her."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan smiled and said.
"yes!!"
After Jingyuan's reminder, Feixiao remembered that in that mental space, Baizhi had summoned the attention and help of the Ancestor of Longevity Plague.
The fact that Bai Zhi was noticed and helped by the God of Longevity and Plague means that she must have reached a very deep level in the Way of Abundance.
It might even be... the Envoy of Abundance.
This level of treatment will definitely be of great help to Jiaoqiu's condition.
Generally speaking, the Immortal Ship does not discriminate against travelers with a prosperous destiny. However, unlike travelers with a prosperous destiny, the Envoys are usually extensions and agents of the Star God's will. Apart from the Void, which is a special existence, the others are more or less related to the Star God's will.
In other circumstances, if she encountered the Envoy of Abundance, even if she didn't attack directly, she would probably be extremely wary.
However, after Bai Zhi received the attention and help of the Ancestor of Longevity Plague, Emperor Bow Master of Fate arrived and also gave her attention and help. So she could only say that this matter was complicated and it was up to the Star Gods to decide.
Since the Emperor Bow Master accepted it, not only did he not attack, but he also gave her things, what else could she say?
From what she observed, it seemed that many star gods were interested in Bai Zhi. If Emperor Gong really didn't want her anymore, other star gods would probably be vying for her.
"No problem, those are minor issues. Mr. Jiaoqiu is quite courageous to come up with such a method, but unfortunately, I ruined the subsequent plans."
Bai Zhi had a lot of respect for the physician Jiao Qiu, who had even managed to outmaneuver himself in such a desperate situation.
Presumably, this physician from Jiaoqiu also played a significant role in the timeline where he did not appear.
"Little Baizhi, there's no need to say that. I should thank you properly. If it had really been according to Jiaoqiu's plan, without your intervention, he would probably be dead by now."
Fei Xiao said seriously that she was also shocked when she learned of Jiao Qiu's plan.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to Jiaoqiu after ingesting a large amount of poison and suffering serious injuries. Even if she didn't die, she would probably suffer extremely severe aftereffects.
Now that Bai Zhi has disrupted the plan, perhaps this is the best outcome.
"I'll send someone to bring Jiaoqiu over; he probably wants to see those data too."
Jing Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, General Jingyuan."
Feixiao nodded.
……
Chapter 735 Begins Testing the Jade
"Uh……"
Jiaoqiu opened her eyes somewhat dazedly, and it took her a while to focus her gaze.
"General, what brings you here? It's nothing serious, I'll be fine after a little rest."
Seeing Feixiao in front of him, he subconsciously said.
"Don't you sense that something's wrong?"
Feixiao tapped Jiaoqiu on the head and said with a smile.
"Oh dear, I'm still a patient, how could the general... wait a minute?"
Jiaoqiu then realized something was wrong. The aftereffects of his large ingestion of poison were quite severe. He was not about to die, but he was extremely weak and could barely utter a complete sentence.
But now, I find myself full of energy and vitality.
"General... am I all better now?"
Jiaoqiu looked at her hands in disbelief; they were healthy and rosy, just like always.
"Yes, we have to thank Xiao Baizhi for this. If it weren't for her help, you probably would have had to take a very, very long time to recover."
"Miss Bai Zhi?"
Jiaoqiu was somewhat puzzled.
"I didn't tell you about your serious illness before, but it's actually like this..."
Feixiao explained to Jiaoqiu in detail how Baizhi helped her defeat Hulei.
"So that fox-girl was actually Miss Bai Zhi in disguise. No wonder she protected me so much."
Jiaoqiu suddenly realized why Baizhi's attitude towards him had been strange, as if she was deliberately protecting him.
"So, General, is this your way of asking me to express my gratitude to Miss Baizhi? Well, that makes sense. I, Jiaoqiu, am obliged to express my thanks to Miss Baizhi for her great kindness."
Jiaoqiu thought for a moment, "But I don't have much money... How about I make Miss Baizhi a hot pot, which is my specialty, to express my feelings?"
"No rush, Jiaoqiu. I'll have Xiaobaizhi heal you, mainly because there's something I need you to do."
"Oh, what is it that made the general summon me here?"
Jiaoqiu asked curiously.
"Well... Xiao Baizhi has taken out something that might be helpful to the fox people, but it hasn't been tested yet. Since you're a healer, why don't you come along later to test the effects of that thing on the fox people and record the data?"
"The relevant equipment has also been obtained from Dan Ding Si."
"Wait, will this affect the fox-people?"
Jiaoqiu slightly opened her squinted eyes. "General, when you say 'impact,' do you mean it's beneficial or harmful?"
Fei Xiao shook his head. "I don't know, but judging from what Xiao Baizhi did on Luofu before, the impact was mostly positive."
"Anyway, you can start collecting data in a bit. I've already explained the situation to the guards, and there should be people willing to volunteer for testing."
"General, let me do it!"
Jiaoqiu said without hesitation.
