Out of the blue, the unnoticed bystander Old Zhao asked a question solemnly.

The air went still in an instant, his sudden interjection jarring and out of place.

Even Lin Gang seemed to think better of provoking Old Zhao, and he didn't utter a word.

In the end, it was Yu Rongling, the second in command, who answered, "My sister-in-law's background is rather troubled. Her father chose someone from the Lin family to marry, quite possibly... to use the bloodline of the Lin family and the Su family, to create a superior bloodline... a shell, to house the soul of a deceased fox."

There are some things I haven't figured out, or that no one has told me.

I could only be kept in the dark, so at least half of what Yu Rongling said was news to me.

I used to think that my dad had me just to screw me over.

But I didn't know that he went out of his way to entangle himself with my mom just so I could be born.

That is to say, he never loved my mom.

In his eyes, my mom was probably nothing more than a tool, a mere birthing machine.

This truth... is just too bloody...

Yu Longting must have figured this out a long time ago, and that's how Xiao Yuer knew so clearly.

Only I was kept completely in the dark.

Yet deep down, I didn't feel the slightest bit deceived. Instead, a warmth stirred within my chest.

He actually understood the conflict in my heart, no matter how outrageous my father was.

After all, my father gave me life, up until now...

When I learned... the tragic life of my mother... was all because of this man's... scheming...

I was utterly stunned.

Old Zhao responded with a sound, "Indeed a hard life."

Then, silence enveloped the surroundings once more.

It seemed that Lin Gang hadn't expected Old Zhao's question to end there.

However, I could feel a sinister energy seeping from Lin Gang's direction.

That kind of energy had a natural power to suppress me, making me feel suffocated in an instant.

I took the initiative before even having a chance to use a talisman.

Flames sprouted directly from my fingertips, and I tried to push them out to subdue Lin Gang.

"I know you have heavenly fire,"

said Lin Gang out of nowhere, conjuring a black talisman.

In an instant, all the yang energy in the surroundings dried up for some reason.

I had an extremely ominous premonition, and then, the yang energy within me started draining away; my joints ached as if I were stricken with rheumatism, "You used Meishan Mountain witchcraft... to seal my heavenly fire..."

"How would I dare to seek you out without being prepared, my dear little niece?" Lin Gang said, extremely pleased with himself. The soul in his hand poured directly into me from the top of my head.

At that moment, I thought it was over, that there had been a miscalculation.

In an instant, the Remnant Soul poured into my body, the Ancestor of Foxes' soul compatible with my flesh.

Once it entered, it definitely wouldn't be able to leave.

Unless they killed my physical body!

Before the Ancestor of Foxes fully took over my body, I could still hear the outside world and retain control over my body.

I took off the blindfold, my eyes sealed by Art.

Removing the blindfold, I could only squint, my vision very unclear.

I faintly saw Yu Rongling, covered in wounds, charge forward, his sword thrusting towards Lin Gang, "Don't you dare lay a finger on my sister-in-law..."

He had a talisman stuck to his forehead, which he managed to free himself from only by using all his spiritual power.

He struggled to remove the talisman controlling him, but Lin Gang gestured towards the Paper Man on the table.

As the Paper Man punched itself, Yu Rongling mimicked the action.

The force cratered half of his own cheek, "Damn it... Lin Gang... you're despicable..."

Xiao Shenshen struggled to come and save me, but she too seemed to be under a Binding Spell, completely immobilized.

The difference was that Shenshen had fallen under Old Zhao's Art, which was comparatively much gentler.

"Don't struggle in vain. Even if you kill me, it's useless now. The Ancestor of Foxes has possessed Su Wan; the only way to get the Ancestor of Foxes out is to kill Su Wan."
