"Heavenly Emperor!" Su Li and the other foxfolk respectfully addressed Zhong Shan.
"Mm. Stand down." Zhong Shan nodded.
"Yes!" Su Li and the others nodded, knowing that Zhong Shan had something to say to the two women.
The fox demons no longer rejected Zhong Shan. Naturally, they felt even more reassured about the two women's safety.
After the foxes withdrew some distance, Su Rou Niang finally saw Zhong Shan clearly.
"Zhong Shan, Bao Si is so pitiful. If I'd known, I wouldn't have fought her in the Fox World!" Su Rou Niang said sadly.
"Why have you come?" Su Mei Niang asked, somewhat more calmly.
However, judging from the tremor in Su Mei Niang's voice and how intently she had watched Beacon Fire Spreads to the Heavens just now, it was clear that Su Mei Niang was not actually as strong as she appeared. With the great cause of an entire clan weighing on her shoulders, she had no choice but to maintain a calm exterior at all times.
"I had no choice but to come." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Eh?" Rou Niang looked at Zhong Shan in confusion.
"That Ying Huo—is he your man?" Mei Niang asked.
Zhong Shan turned to look at Ying Huo beneath the distant mountain and nodded lightly. "He joined Great Zheng two years ago."
Mei Niang gave Zhong Shan a deep look. "Su Li has told us everything that happened after we entered the Fox World."
"Oh?"
"You really are stronger than me." Mei Niang bit her lip.
Back then, after Su Mei Niang's father died, she took over the Supreme Beginning Sacred Court. Though she was a woman, her wisdom was peerless and her boldness extraordinary.
