Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Looking at Mu Xu's clenched fists and the overwhelming hatred revealed on his body, Kaitian's eyes darkened and he asked aloud: "Uncle Mu, could it be that Fu Rou broke his promise to you and did not give the magic medicine to you?" Did giving it to your cousin result in your cousin not being able to die a happy death?"

"Magic medicine... ha." Mu Xu sneered, then punched the bed board hard, venting his anger, "The so-called magic medicine is all a lie, there is no cure for all diseases in Fuxing City. The magic medicine.”

"Liar?" Kaitian frowned, and the volume increased uncontrollably a few degrees, wondering: "How could it be a lie? Those seriously ill people who have no medical treatment, got After receiving the magic medicine from Fuxing City, they all returned home alive and well, recovered from serious illnesses, and lived to be a hundred years old. These living examples are numerous."

"Living examples..." There was a trace of ridicule on Mu Xu's face, and he reminded Kaitian: "I wonder what these living examples Mr. Tian mentioned have in common?"

"What they have in common?" Kaitian didn't understand why a layer of ridicule suddenly appeared on Mu Xu's face, but he still carefully recalled the examples he had seen in "The Chronicle of the Three Realms". These were the wishes that were realized in Fuxing City. People, whether they are tall or short, fat or thin, male or female, have nothing obvious in common on the surface, but... Kaitian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Uncle Mu wants to remind me that I can realize it again when I come to Fuxing City." These people who wish are either rich or noble, and Fuxing City just helps them to reach a higher level based on their own foundation."

Mu Xu was impressed that Kaitian could discover this relationship in such a short time. Mu Xu nodded to Kaitian and praised: "It really saves trouble to talk to smart people."

After receiving the affirmative answer, the confusion in Kaitian's eyes deepened, and he said puzzledly: "Uncle Mu, during the past few days in Fuxing City, I have also seen the financial strength of Fuxing City, and the magnificence of the city lord's palace is even more impressive. Even the imperial palace cannot compare. If Fuxing City can give people countless wealth, I can understand it, but what about the rights...and the deceptive magic medicine you just mentioned?"

"Sit down, Mr. Tian." Mu Xu patted the edge of his bed and gestured to Kaitian, "You should be tired after standing for so long. The night is still long."

Mu Xu looked like he still had a lot to say, and Kai Tianbian didn't delay and sat beside Mu Xu's bed.

After Kaitian sat down, Mu Xu cleared his throat, looked away from Kaitian, and brought up the topic just now: "At the beginning, even though I promised to marry Furou and stay in Fuxing City forever for the sake of the so-called magic medicine, , but because Furou had regretted it once before, I kept it in mind." Mu Xu paused, and then said: "I made a condition for Furou. Only I can watch my cousin take the drug with my own eyes. I will marry her only after her body recovers after taking the medicine.”

"After I proposed this condition, Fu Rou thought about it for a while and agreed without any hesitation." Mu Xu's eyes flashed with pain, "It's just that at the time, I didn't think that this was pushing my cousin away." Toward the beginning of eternal destruction.”

The pain in Mu Xu's eyes gradually dissipated, and he continued: "Fu Rou told me that after taking the magic medicine in Fuxing City, it will take another night to take effect, so the day before her wedding and I , she would give my cousin the magic medicine to take. She said that after she recovered, she would still have time to attend my wedding."

……

Hearing this, Hongmeng Ziqi couldn't help but complain to Yi Changle: "Furou is really not a human being. It's not just breaking up the lovers, but also letting Mu Xu's cousin see him marry Furou with her own eyes. , it’s really heartbreaking.”

"She is indeed not a human being." Yi Changle also looked angry.

……

"Uncle Namu, did you reject Furou?" Kaitian, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but ask.

"No." Mu Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "At that time, my cousin had already fallen into a coma, and I didn't know that Furou said back that she wanted me to marry her in order to save my cousin."

"At that time, I felt that my cousin was different from me. I had promised Furou to marry her and stay in Fuxing City forever. But after my cousin recovers, she can still return to the capital. She still has a bright future. She She will marry the right man and live a happy life, and I will only be an insignificant passer-by in her life."

Mu Xu slowly lowered his head, "I knew she cared about me, so I agreed to Furou and let my cousin attend my wedding with Furou, just to make her give up and make her think that I abandoned her for the glory and wealth of Fuxing City. After she leaves, she can completely let go of me and live her own life without any burden."

……

Hearing this, Hongmeng Ziqi nodded involuntarily and sighed: "This Mu Xu is a sincere person."

……

"Furou moved very quickly. In less than two days, she prepared everything needed for the wedding. Just the day before our wedding, Furou handed the magic medicine into my hands. It was a stinking Xuntian’s black pill, but I didn’t have any suspicion, so I personally fed the black pill to my cousin.” Mu Xu recalled bit by bit, “After my cousin took the medicine, I planned to keep her company all night, but in the dark night It was too long, and I fell asleep without knowing it. When I woke up again, I saw my cousin smiling at me radiantly and calling me cousin sweetly, just like in the past, nothing was different."

"I was immersed in the joy of my cousin's recovery, but my cousin looked at my bright red wedding dress and asked me what was going on. I was cruel and told her the news about my marriage to Furou, but I felt guilty. He didn't even dare to look at her red eyes, so he didn't notice her change." Mu Xu's tone was a little more painful, "After learning that I was abandoning her for glory and wealth, my cousin even married me and Fu Rou. I didn’t even attend the wedding, so I left Fuxing City disheartened, and I married Furou as promised and stayed in Fuxing City forever.”

Mu Xu's story made Kaitian frown. After hesitating for a while, Kaitian still asked in confusion, "But Uncle Mu, didn't your cousin leave Fuxing City after she recovered? What did you do just now? Are you saying she can't die a happy death?" Hearing this, Mu Xu, who had been hanging his head, slowly raised his head, stared at Kaitian with a pair of deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Because I was not the one who left Fuxing City alive. cousin."

"What?" Mu Xu's explanation really confused Kaitian. In addition, being looked at by Mu Xu with such eyes was a bit scary. Kaitian could only feel the cold sweat on his back. As he was taking risks, his momentum unknowingly became weaker, "Uncle Mu, I don't understand what you mean. Didn't you just say that your cousin left Fuxing City after she recovered, so why are you talking about leaving Fuxing now? Isn’t it your cousin who lives in the city?”

"Master Tian, ​​have you ever heard of the art of skin-changing?"

"The art of skin-changing?" Mu Xu's sudden words made Kaitian stunned, and then Kaitian's expression became serious, "Uncle Mu means that the person who left the city is not your cousin, but just wearing your clothes." Cousin’s other creatures in human skin?”

Yi Changle and Hongmeng Ziqi in the room looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

"That's right." Mu Xu thought that he had to explain himself so that Kaitian could understand what he meant, but he didn't expect that Kaitian would understand what he meant so quickly. Mu Xu couldn't help but look at Kaitian in his eyes. After a bit of scrutiny, he asked, "Have you ever heard of the art of skin-changing before?"

"No, I just guessed it by chance." Kaitian made an excuse at random.

"By chance? I wonder if Mr. Tian has ever heard of a saying that on the surface it seems to be a coincidence, but secretly it's all deliberate." The scrutiny in Mu Xu's eyes did not disappear.

"Uncle Mu, I'm just an ordinary person." Kaitian smiled at Mu Xu, "Besides, if I had to choose someone to be deliberate about in Fuxing City, I would probably choose Furou. She is a city lord after all." Kaitian paused and added: "I really don't know what the skin-changing technique is. I just guessed it based on the name. But the most important thing right now is that it should be dawn soon." Kaitian's implication , it’s time for Mu Xu to hurry up.

Hearing this, Mu Xu looked at the nearly half-burned candle in Kaitian's hand. The scrutiny in his eyes disappeared, and he continued with the topic: "After I got married to Furou, to my surprise, she didn't. They didn’t force me, but gave me time.”

Mu Xu said and let out a long sigh, "I got married to Furou for two years before we consummated our marriage. During these two years, Furou had to endure the pressure from her parents alone, and she never pushed me once. . She also explained to me that she had to use magic medicine to force me to stay. When I entered Fuxing City, she fell in love with me at first sight when I entered Fuxing City. My cousin, she saw that we were lovers and didn’t want to do anything to me at first. But if I didn’t marry her, she would be forced by her parents to marry someone she didn’t like. In desperation, She just chose to use magic medicine to force me to marry her."

……

"Wait a minute." Hongmeng Ziqi in the corner frowned, with a trace of incomprehension on his face, "Yi Changle, why do I think that according to the routine, Mu Xu will say that he has fallen in love with Fu Rou?"

"Your feeling is probably correct..." Yi Changle's expression was as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

……

"After two years of getting along with Furou day and night, I was gradually attracted to her. I thought that since it was a fact that I married Furou and I promised her to stay in Fuxing City forever, then I should live well with her. Not long after I had sex with her, she became pregnant with Zhiyi." Mu Xu paused, then continued: "After she gave birth to Zhiyi, she and I also had a very loving and sweet time, until she succeeded the city lord. This time is over.”

"Shortly after we moved into the City Lord's Mansion, I discovered the biggest secret of Fuxing City in the City Lord's Mansion. Because of this secret, Zhiyi and I were no longer lovers, but became everlasting enemies." After saying this, Mu Xu A huge amount of hatred erupted from his body in an instant.

"Uncle Mu, the biggest secret in Fuxing City should be related to the art of skin-changing, right?"

"That's right." Mu Xu's eyes fell into the darkness, "Furou and I have been together for a long time, but I have never seen her after sunset. Even our bridal chamber..."

When talking about this topic, Mu Xu suddenly stopped, glanced at Kaitian with some embarrassment, and then continued: "Even our bridal chamber is in the clear sky and daylight."

"Ahem." He was caught off guard and looked at Mu Xu. Kaitian turned his head in embarrassment, but still tried hard to pretend to be indifferent.

Mu Xu lowered his head and continued to talk to himself: "Since entering Fuxing City, I have gone to bed early every night and slept deeply and deeply. I have also had doubts, but Furou gave me The explanation is that the water, soil and air in Fuxing City are good, so I can sleep so well. People in Fuxing City also sleep like this. The most important thing is that if you sleep well, you will live longer, so the people in Fuxing City live longer. I have no doubt about him and accepted Fu Rou's words." Mu Xu gradually returned to his serious look, "After Fu Rou and I consummated our marriage, I could see her when I opened my eyes every day, but since I moved in After the City Lord's Mansion, every day when I got up, there was no sign of Furou. When I asked, I found out that she was sleeping in the study while doing business late at night. I knew that I couldn't help her with matters in Fuxing City, but we were husband and wife after all. , we should share the joys and sorrows, and when she is tired until late at night, I should also give her a bowl of ginseng soup."

"In order to wake up late at night, I didn't eat anything all day long. I just drank tea to refresh myself. In order to surprise Furou, I didn't tell her that on the night when I gave Furou the ginseng soup, I met her for the first time. After seeing Furou's true face, I also learned the secret of Fuxing City." Thinking of that scene, Mu Xu still feels palpitations today. On the ground paved with gold, a man and a woman lay quietly. The light emitted by the gold, The photo of their faces was a bit unclear, but it could be seen clearly that their mouths were slightly open. Two yellow-eyed monsters moved their snake-like tongues bit by bit from the mouths of the man and woman to theirs. After a while, the men and women on the ground groaned in pain, and their bodies were twisting and turning, trying to escape and resist, but these resistances were insignificant in front of the yellow-eyed monster. After a while, The flesh and blood of the man and woman were eaten by the monster, and only two skins were left on the golden ground.

But what made Mu Xu's heart palpitate the most was the scene that followed. One of the yellow-eyed monsters licked his lips with lingering interest, then picked up the skin on the ground and handed it to the two Fuxing City men standing in the corner. , the two Fuxing City men took the two human skins and put them on themselves without saying a word. After that, the man and woman who had lost their flesh and blood seemed to come back to life again.
