Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife

Bai Yu’s suggestion seemed flawless at that time. He would cover for His Lordship’s disappearance and get in his good graces. Maybe, just maybe, His Lordship would find it in his heart to be merciful when Bai Yu would report that which had occurred in his absence.

However, the former Second-In-Command’s plan didn’t go quite as well as he had initially expected...

Xiao An Hua, Xian An Fei, and Bai Yu were still a fair distance away from the floating island, but close enough that they could already perceive the faraway outline of Her Ladyship dismounting the Cat Spirit mount and tiredly stepping back home in a slow, relaxed manner. She was alone, Bai Yu noted. Probably, she tucked the Plant and the Fungus back inside the Bai clan’s ancestral dimension.

The Celestial Foxes collectively sighed, relieved. It seemed as though the rest of the day would prove to be peaceful and uneventful.

At that point, Bai Yu still felt calm and carefree, but the relaxed feeling soon changed when he approached the Bestiary Divison’s sect grounds. A thick, stifling power permeated the air. It was an aggressive energy placing its mark, asserting its dominance. This kind of presence, he knew all too well.

The Fox God Subordinates were startled to discover His Lordship’s oppressive aura condensing all over Her Ladyship’s home!

"How did he return so quickly? The Eternal Ice Prison is several worlds away!" Xiao An Hua said. There was anxiety in her quiet voice.

"There are carefully constructed barriers between each world. It cannot possibly be that easy to cross, even for someone as powerful as His Lordship." whispered Xiao An Fei, feeling the same level of astonishment as her sister.

Bai Yu rolled his eyes at the twins. "Crossing between worlds is nothing for him, especially when he has a set destination in mind, a powerful connection that leads him to this plane of existence."

All three of them were the Sovereign Lord’s subordinates, but only a select few in the clan were close enough to His Lordship to be aware of the real measure of his capabilities. Bai Yu was one of those few.

The Xiao twins shuddered. They fervently wished to never displease someone as powerful as their lord! They eyed each other from the corner of their vision, sharing the same thought. ’If His Lordship is angry, then let Bai Yu take the blame!’

The level of malevolent aura protectively surrounding the premises could mean one thing, and one thing only. His Lordship had returned, and like a henpecked husband, he was dutifully waiting for a beating inside Her Ladyship’s cabin!

The Celestial Foxes landed outside the cabin, inside the garden area. They quickly concealed their presence and hid behind a nearby bush.

As Her Ladyship stepped inside the house, the three foxes held their breath, huddling together under the cover of the foliage. The air was so still, not even the leaves were rustling.

After a short period of silence, Bai Yu bucked under the pressure, his small, white paw tapped on the ground with a thump. "I can’t stand this suspense!"

Disguised as Snowball, Bai Yu went to crouch between a few of the cabin wall’s uneven wood planks and snooped around. The Xiao twins changed into their human forms, disguising as servants in the sect and followed closely behind.
