Chapter 1644: Chapter 1625: Becoming a Maid, Fox King _1 Chapter 1644: Chapter 1625: Becoming a Maid, Fox King _1 The ancient castle occupied a vast area, and within its towering, grand architecture was a beautiful garden.
Leaves fluttered with the mountain winds, drifting into the garden; the moment they touched the ground, they transformed into foxes, sneaking into the ancient castle.
“Master, I've found Jing Yao.”
Little Kingfisher's excited tiny voice followed: “She's in the easternmost room on the third floor of the ancient castle.”
“Good.”
With perked ears, the Little White Fox followed the sound of the girl's laughter and ran along the corridor.
The girls arrived at a spiral staircase, cheerfully running up the steps.
The Little White Fox winged its eyes and followed them up.
“Greetings to the Fox King.”
An extravagantly dressed and extremely handsome young man appeared at the corner of the staircase.
The girls' laughter ceased abruptly, and under the guidance of a girl in purple, they bowed respectfully.
The Little White Fox's ears twitched as the words “Fox King” entered her ears, and she instantly transformed into a leaf again, clinging to the edge of the staircase step.
A pair of black boots stepped down the stairs, passing the leaf without stopping, and continued down the stairs.
“Phew.”
The leaf revealed a humanoid face, watching him descend the stairs and secretly exhaling a sigh of relief.
Jing Youming stopped abruptly as if sensing something, turned around, and walked back.
He bent down and looked at the leaf with a hint of doubt, his slender fingers reaching for it.
“Bang.”
The sound of a shattered vase came from the easternmost window on the third floor.
“Get out, all of you get out!”
Jing Yao's high-pitched voice echoed.
“Eighth Princess, please stop causing trouble.”
The maid advised through gritted teeth: “Causing a ruckus won't make the Princess Consort let you out.”
“I want to see Jing Yun.”
Jing Yao stubbornly retorted: “If Concubine Mother won't let me see my little sister, I will stop eating as a protest.”
“Princess.”
The maid's mouth corner tasted bitter as she didn't know what to do next.
“Get out, all of you get out!”
Jing Yao didn't listen to reason, pushing them all out.
“Hmph.”
Hearing the commotion, Jing Youming snorted with dissatisfaction and instantly teleported to appear in front of Jing Yao.
The leaf's humanoid face revealed a look of relief, and after concentrating, it shapeshifted into a pretty maid.
“Father.”
As soon as Jing Yao saw Fox King appear out of thin air, she got frightened, but once her shock wore off, she clung to him as if he was her savior, hugging his arm tightly.
“Father, I beg you, please let me see my little sister.”
“Little sister is locked up alone in the secret chamber; it's so pitiful.”
“Yao'er can't help but feel heartache whenever I think of little sister suffering in the secret chamber; I can't eat or sleep well…”
“Hmph, I think you're doing just fine.”
Jing Youming glanced at the shattered vase, his handsome brows furrowed with some displeasure.
“Father.”
Realizing her pitiful act failed, Jing Yao switched tactics, coquettishly shaking Fox King's arm: “Father, you're the best and you love Yao'er the most. Please let Yao'er go see little sister.”
“Don't try this with me.”
Jing Youming saw through her little trick and laughed: “Your little tricks won't work on me, you're just relying on your Concubine Mother to love you and fool her.”
“Concubine Mother doesn't love me anymore.”
Jing Yao pouted and complained: “She keeps Yao'er locked up every day and won't let me out.”
“Your Concubine Mother is doing this for your own good.”
Jing Youming thought of his youngest daughter who had lost her Monster Core, a hidden gleam in his eyes.
He had already sent people to search for the culprit.
Once they were found, they would be killed without mercy and his daughter's Monster Core must be taken back.
