Chapter 248: Second Prince Of Qingqiu Valley
Seeing that Huan Yun was still talking to those frightened fox demons in the iron cages, Xu Xiang looked at the fox demons she released and asked, "Can any of you tell those fox demons that we have no ill intentions towards them?"
The first fox demon she released stood up from the bed and said weakly: "I will convince them."
Xu Xiang looked at him and nodded. Seeing that the fox demon helped Huan Yun convince other fox demons, Xu Xiang walked towards the stairs. Standing on the stairs, she looked at the hanging iron cages.
Judging from the difference in treatment between these fox demons and other fox demons below, Xu Xiang can guess that these fox demons have a relatively high status among fox demons, and maybe stronger than the other fox demons. Just as she was thinking about how to open the iron cages safely, the fox demon in the largest cage opened his eyes.
He looked at Xu Xiang and curiously asked, "Why did you save my people?"
Hearing his weak voice, Xu Xiang raised her head, looked at the fox demon, and thought: ’My people? Could it be that he is the leader of these fox demons?’
The fox demon seemed to see through her thoughts, and calmly said: "My name is Hu Wenfeng. I am the second prince of Qingqiu Valley. My eldest sister is the current queen of Qingqiu Valley, and my eldest brother is the patriarch of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
He observed Xu Xiang and found out that she was looking at him calmly. A few seconds later, he smiled and said, "It seems that Young Lady has been to Qingqiu Valley before. No wonder you are willing to save my people. May I ask why you saved us?"
After Hu Wenfeng finished speaking, Xu Xiang said, "The second prince is really smart. However, instead of finding out the reason why I saved the fox demons, why don’t you help me think about how to save yourself and others?"
Hu Wenfeng chuckled and said, "Young lady is right. But... I still want to know your reason."
Xu Xiang thought for a while before saying, "I saved these fox demons only because when I went to Qingqiu Valley, a fox demon gave me a meeting gift. I regard her as a friend, so as long as the fox demon does not offend me, I will treat every fox demon as a friend."
After saying that, Xu Xiang measured the distance between the iron cages and the ground. Seeing that it was only about four or seven meters away from the ground, she went down the stairs as Hu Wenfeng silently watched her walk away.
