921 Disarming
After thinking for a moment, the fox raised its hand and surrendered, signaling Jiang Ming to help it.
Jiang Ming just wanted to scare the fox. When he heard what the fox said, he immediately dispelled the illusion.
The fox found it hard to believe. He tested its throat and found that it had indeed recovered.
It heaved a sigh of relief and tried to use some devious ideas to escape.
However, Jiang Ming dismissed its ideas.
“I know you want to escape, but are you sure you can outrun me? No matter what method you use, you won’t be able to escape.”
The fox felt that Jiang Ming was talking nonsense and then sneered.
“Impossible! It’s impossible for me to not be able to leave.”
Then, it turned into a very small fox and tried to get out of the cage through the gaps.
However, as soon as it reached the crack, it realized that its entire body had been electrocuted.
And it was at this moment that he directly collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move.
Jiang Ming continued drinking his tea.
“Do you still want to play tricks now? Of course, if you’re not afraid of pain, you can continue to try to get out.”
Jiang Ming was right. Just a single second of trying to escape made the fox’s entire body ache.
It continued to look around and began to understand the situation. It immediately told him who the host of the banquet was.
“It’s the current king, Li Nanchu.”
“I knew it was that fool of a king.”
Yuan Hehe was speechless. He hated Li Nanchu.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Some voices came from the people outside.
“Lord Fox, we still need to greet the guests outside. When will you come over? You should be done here, right?”
The fox immediately shouted.
“Come and save me. I’ve been kidnapped by the guests here.”
Jiang Ming raised his hand and used his spiritual energy in the room.
When the people outside heard the fox’s words, they hurriedly knocked on the door, but they could not enter at all.
Since the door was not locked, even the key could not be used. Seeing that the situation was critical, the servant hurriedly went to look for Li Nanchu.
Li Nanchu had a rough idea of who had captured the fox, so he took the initiative to go over.
He felt that these people were probably here for the banquet.
Otherwise, there was really no reason to kidnap this fox.
Then he went to the door and found that the room was sealed with spiritual energy. He could not help but shout inside, “Lord Ning Caichen, are you here to participate in the Moonlight Banquet? I can bring you there.”
Upon hearing Li Nanchu’s voice, Jiang Ming withdrew his spiritual energy and opened the door.
Li Nanchu did not get into a conflict with them. Instead, he tried to curry favor with them. “If you wanted to come to this gala, you could have asked someone to tell me, Lord Ning Caichen. You don’t have to talk to my subordinates. My subordinate is insensible and has made you unhappy. Please don’t blame it.”
The fox found it hard to believe. “Your Majesty, how can you apologize to such a vulgar person and even speak like that? Normally, you should have cut this b*tch into pieces.”
These words were not pleasant to hear. Li Nanchu was afraid that his subordinate would be punished, so she quickly went forward and gave the fox a slap.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up. Waiter, take it out. Don’t let it talk nonsense here and ruin my relationship with Lord Ning Caichen.”
The fox’s head buzzed.
It had already suffered enough from Jiang Ming, and now it was being beaten up by Li Nanchu. It could not help but complain.
It could not understand why.
It did not dare to say anything more.
After all, Li Nanchu was its financial backer. If it continued to annoy Li Nanchu, it would lose its job.
Moreover, if it had not been for Li Nanchu, it would have died.
Li Nanchu was also its savior. It could not treat its savior like this.
The fox gave up struggling.
“I understand, Your Majesty. This is all my fault. It’s just that I’m being controlled by the cage now, so I can’t leave with the waiter.”
Li Nanchu noticed the cage and said to Jiang Ming, “Lord Ning Caichen, it knows its mistake. Let it go. It’s just a little fox. It doesn’t know anything.”
“I don’t think it’s insensible. It looks more like a fool.”
Jiang Ming sneered, but he had no intention of releasing the fox.
Yuan Hehe sized Li Nanchu up. “If you really had that intention, you would have told us in advance to come to the banquet. You wouldn’t have waited until we arrived before inviting us. Could it be that there’s something different in the pre-arranged banquet?”
Li Nanchu’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He coughed and said, “How is that possible? I just forgot. Please follow me to another place. As for the fox’s cage, please get rid of it for my sake.”
“It’s not that this cage can’t be removed, but that you have to tell me the truth. Other than yourself, who else is there in the Moonlight Banquet?”
Li Nanchu thought about it for a moment. Then, he said, “How about this? When you guys arrive at the venue, I’ll introduce you to each of the guests. Is that okay? As for this fox, it really doesn’t have any other intentions. Please forgive it.”
The fox did not want to see Li Nanchu feeling guilty for it. It immediately said firmly, “There’s no need. I’ll just stay in the cage. It’s fine.”
Li Nanchu glared at the fox. “There’s no need to listen to it. I’m its master. I have the final say in everything.”
He could not help but feel a little angry.
This fox that he had raised for a long time was actually so disobedient!
If this fox continued to act like this, he would have to get rid of it!
The fox fell silent.
It knew what Li Nanchu meant. If it continued to speak, he would be filled with anger.
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and then said, “Alright.”
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe released the cage. The fox did not dare to say anything else and quickly followed the waiter.
Jiang Ming and the others also followed Li Nanchu to the pre-arranged party for the Moonlight Banquet.
The people inside seemed to be like statues. They had no expressions at all and were all wearing masks. Some were wearing fox masks, while others were wearing human skin masks.
Jiang Ming felt that it was familiar. He suddenly remembered the people on the first floor who were looking at Yuan Hehe in unison. He could not help but be surprised.
“Could these people be the people on the first floor?” Yuan Hehe could not help but ask when he heard Jiang Ming’s words.
“It seems to be those people. Why are they here? I thought they were just guests who were eating there.”
Li Nanchu laughed.
