Rebirth Of A Villainess
/ Rebirth of a Villainess Chapter 63
From the outside, he looked like a handsome man from one of the cultivation sects . His crown was disguised to those of a gold and ruby, this way none would be able to tell that he was from the demon realm . He had no weapon on him, not even something as simple as a dagger, as he made his way to the gate of the YuanLi sect . Th only thing he brought with him was the mirror of yao, the magical tool that masked the spiritual energy of the one that wields it .
Demon Lord Zhurong greeted the men at the gate, "Greetings, I am Rong from the fox clan . I wish to have an audience with Lady Li . "
The disciples that stood guard stared at the man claimed to be from the fox clan, never had they seen anyone from there, he had an strange beauty to him that made them look with discomfort at him, how were they supposed to confirm that he was who he said he was?
Every sect in the heavenly realm knew that the fox clan kept to themselves and chose not to associate with those from the heavenly realm . On the other hand they could neither discredit his words, because looking at him made them think of the things they had read from the books at the library about them . To the disciples, people from the fox clan were beautiful beyond what the eyes had ever seen, their youthful look remained with them for thousands of years, before eventually growing hold and reverting to their true form of a fox . Sadly, the ancient books didn't tell of the people from the demon realm, because they hid their faces behind a mask, history recorded them as devious and hellish monsters, but in reality they were as beautiful if not more beautiful than the people from the fox clan .
"We have never heard of you, do you have any relations with the fox king?"
One of the YuanLi disciples presumably the leader, asked the man that stood in front of his sect's gate . To him, only those that were related to the royal house of the fox clan could be shown to their mistress, anyone that wasn't in such a high position would either be told to wait until the sect leader came or be shamefully sent away .
Demon Lord Zhurong smiled at the men, he knew where they were going with the question, to them, their mistress was too good to see just anyone that showed up their gate .
"I'm Fox Prince Rong, an illegitimate child of Fox King Yan . I was conceived from the union with one of his chamber maid . "
This time the men looked very uncomfortable, it was no laughing matter, but the man who claimed to be the fox prince smiled as those he was talking about the weather or some little subject . There was no trace of shame in his voice, it was as though he felt proud of himself for being an illegitimate child . Who gets proud for being born out of wedlock?
Neither of them voiced out their inner thought, but the demon lord could read their expression for what it was, almost breaking into a full blown laughter .
"What should we do? We can't possibly leave him standing here, what would people say if they knew that we didn't let the fox prince in?"
One of them asked the person that was probably the leader, "His identity hasn't been confirmed, we can't just let anyone that claims to be from the fox clan in! What if it is someone from the demon realm?! I heard they have begun killing people from other sects! If sect leader Li knew that we let anyone near his daughter, we would all be beaten to death!"
Demon Lord Zhurong was no fool, there was no way that a disciple cultivator would believe the words of a stranger without any proof, which was why he pulled out a glowing necklace which the fox king had given his mother during his visit to the demon realm, as a gift to show no ill will to the demon kingdom .
It was forged from the fox fire of Fox King Yan, the gift could pass for one that a royalty would give to their spouse or lover .
"Father gave it to mother as a token of the love he had for her and when I was born it was passed onto me . "
Demon Lord Zhurong lied without any shame, he saw the shift in their expression, it was no longer one of suspicion, but one of confusion and guilt, probably from not believing his words at first .
"That is fox fire! Who else can use fox fire if not someone from the fox clan! The necklace is glowing with blue flames within them . I heard it is eternal, the fire never goes out unless the one that owns it dies!"
Who knew the necklace would become useful for what he had in mind, within him demon lord zhurong was thankful that the fox king gave his mother the then demon queen such a magnanimous gift .
"Can I have my necklace back?"
The leader passed the glowing jewelry back to the demon lord, who placed it back on his neck .
"Fox Prince Rong, please follow me inside . "
This time around, they all gave demon lord zhurong a deep bow, although he was supposedly illegitimate, he was still considered the prince of the fox clan, who may possibly take over and become the fox king in his "father's" stead . Therefore, the disciples of YuanLi sect did not want to offend the future fox king .
The demon lord walked behind the leader of the guards, as he was shown into an hall that was made elaborately made . He took a seat on one of the finely crafted chairs, while the disciple that showed him in bowed to the "fox prince" again, before taking his leave .
"I can't wait to see their faces when they discover who they let into their grounds . Ha!"
The demon lord was feeling delighted at the thought of seeing the YuanLi sect disciples misery when they finally find out that it was demon lord zhurong that walked into their sect .
--------
"Please can you let Young Miss Li know that Fox Prince Rong is here to see her?"
The guard asked the chamber maids that waited by the entrance that led to the door of LI Jiao's chambers .
"But our young miss said that she doesn't want anyone to disturb her sleep!"
"What do we do?!"
"For some time now, Young Miss Li, has been in a bad mood . I fear losing my head if we go in and wake her up!"
"So are we going to leave a fox prince waiting?!"
The guard was beginning to get frustrated by the situation, he didn't understand why the young mistress of the YuanLi sect was beginning to get very difficult, even when she was ill, she was still as easy going and open to everyone . He heard of what took place at the banquet held in her honor and how blood was almost shed on that day . The guard kept wondering how one person could change that fast in a single day . Had the water damaged her senses?
Although the thought sounded ridiculous, the guard just wanted to find a reason for the strange behavior of the daughter of their sect leader .
"Please, we can't keep the fox prince waiting, it would cause the sect to lose face . I know that Young Miss Li would not want that!"
The maids looked from one to the other, they suddenly feared their mistress, whom in the past they never had any reason to, there was just something about her that made them shiver in fear . How could they tell the sect leader of something the could not put a name to, if they went up to him and sprouting such nonsense about his daughter having an air of evil around her . They knew where that would lead, not only would they be beaten to death, their bodies would never be found and given a decent burial!
Taking a deep breath, the women that served Li Jiao during the time she was alive, tentatively knocked at the door of her bedchambers to announce themselves .
"Young Miss Li, we are hear to get you dressed to see your visitor, the fox prince!"
There was no voice that came from inside after one of them spoke .
"Young Miss Li?!"
The knock became a little louder, probably they thought that she was deep asleep and didn't hear them .
"Young Miss Li!"
Inside the bedchambers of Li Jiao, Xu Hui was not really sleeping, she hadn't been able to sleep after she came back from her sect, her eyes were merely closed with her mind wandering from place to place .
When she heard the knock on her door, Xu Hui was not happy that she had to be disturbed even though she wasn't even sleeping .
"They say the fox prince wants to see me, but when did the demon king have a son? Was it after my death? Why does he want to see me? I thought that their clan never came out of their mountains to see anyone from a cultivation sect!"
Xu Hui pondered on what could be the reason for the visit of a fox prince to the YuanLi sect with a frown that formed on her forehead causing them to crease . After some time, Xu Hui asked for her maids to come inside .
"Come in!"
The door was slowly pushed to the side, as several women walked into the room of Li Jiao .
"Greetings, Young Miss Li . We are sorry to disturb you when you had already ordered for us not to wake you up . "
The bedchamber attendants of the young mistress of the YuanLi sect, bowed again in respect to the person that they took to be Li Jiao .
"Has he been here for long?"
"No, Young Miss Li . One of the guards came in as soon as he was shown in . "
"Did he say what the visit was about?"
"I'm sorry, Young Miss Li, but the guard never told us what the fox prince wanted to see you about . "
"I see, What a rude fellow!"
The women were already uncomfortable being around Xu Hui, now that she raised her voice which she hardly ever did and called the fox royalty a distasteful name, that made them uneasy .
"Are you going to keep standing there? Or would you rather I stand up and get myself dressed?!"
"No, Young Miss Li . Please forgive your ignorant servants!
The women scrambled to begin setting the robe and other item of clothing for the young mistress of the YuanLi sect, a few of them ran out to get the wooden tub and washcloths for her, her hair pin and earrings were carefully looked at to pick the one that would give her the presence of a respectable young miss .
While all this was going on, Xu Hui still laid on the bed, rather than getting up, probably waiting to be helped out of the bed by the maids . It didn't take them long to set everything that she would need for her meeting with the fox prince out .
"Young Miss Li, it is time for your bath . "
Four of them assisted Xu Hui out of the bed and walked with her to the space within the room where a big wooden tub was waiting to be used . One by one, they took off her clothing, to place her gently into the steamy hot tub .
