This time, Bai Fengxi punished Qi Yun only out of necessity. The original plan was to cooperate with the Qi family, but unexpectedly, they ended up at odds. However, Hei Fengxi was completely unfazed, as if everything was firmly under his control. He believed that the stronger one’s stance in a collaboration, the more one would gain.

Qi Yun ran home to complain to his father, but after hearing the whole story, Qi Yannian immediately brought him to apologize to Hei Fengxi in person, even offering thirty percent of the Qi family’s wealth. Qi Yannian also had an agenda—he hoped Hei Fengxi could help him obtain the official document granting the right to sell government salt. Since the document was in the hands of the Shang family, acquiring it was no easy task.

Hei Fengxi seized the opportunity to demand half of the Qi family’s fortune and successfully extracted intel about the Shang family from Qi Yannian. He learned that Shang Ye visited Lifang Pavilion on the third day of every month, which happened to be today. After the Qi father and son left, Bai Fengxi emerged from the side, marveling at how Hei Fengxi, the black fox, not only obtained information but also secured an unexpected windfall. Soon it was evening.

Bai Fengxi followed Hei Fengxi to Lifang Pavilion and couldn’t help but mock the dancers performing seductive dances, saying only lustful men would be bewitched. Hei Fengxi retorted that not all men were so vulgar. Unexpectedly, Bai Fengxi leaned in close and flirted with him, making him visibly nervous. Considering the rules of the Duanhun Sect, which required members to commit suicide if captured, they couldn’t force the truth. They had to guide the target into revealing it.

At Hei Fengxi’s request, Bai Fengxi had to disguise herself as a dancer to seduce Shang Ye and get him to unknowingly reveal his connection to the Duanhun Sect. Seeing the timing was right, Hei Fengxi struck Shang Ye’s acupoint. It was the first time he saw Bai Fengxi in red attire, and he was briefly stunned by her beauty. After the moment of awkwardness passed, Hei Fengxi pressed Shang Ye to disclose the location of the Duanhun Sect.

Shang Ye claimed he only knew that a branch was located in Yucheng and, under the pretense of drawing a map, took the chance to jump out of the window and escape. The two gave chase and soon arrived at the Duanhun Sect’s branch. The place was eerily quiet, with no sign of people, and something felt off. Hei Fengxi told Bai Fengxi to follow his lead and not act impulsively, but she didn’t take it seriously.

Although the sect used a hidden “Eight Ghosts Formation,” Hei Fengxi easily broke it, avenging the ambush at the Yucheng stronghold. Shang Ye and the others escaped too quickly, and for the first time, Hei Fengxi failed to capture them, feeling humiliated. Fortunately, the enemy dropped something. The symbol on it was strange—representing “Qiongqiong” and “Juxu,” signifying a power strong enough to make the richest man in Yucheng bow down.

With this matter settled, the Duanhun Sect would not reappear for a while. Next, Bai Fengxi needed to take Han Pu back to the Tianshuang Sect. But that very night, a fire engulfed the entire Shang family estate, and the next day came the news of Shang Ye’s self-immolation. Bai Fengxi misunderstood, thinking Hei Fengxi orchestrated it to seize both families’ wealth and gain a good reputation. She angrily scolded him as a cunning, selfish, and heartless black fox.

Just as she finished, Bai Fengxi noticed several familiar men downstairs—Shang family guards. Realizing her mistake, she understood Hei Fengxi hadn’t taken lives lightly. Hei Fengxi admitted he hadn’t expected Shang Ye to burn down his entire fortune without hesitation, and even remembered his wife and children before leaving, proving he still had some humanity. Giving up immense wealth willingly showed he was still a man of worth. Because of this, Bai Fengxi felt she had acted too rashly.

She took Han Pu and left, feeling guilty and regretful. Along the way, she found two injured birds—one black, one white—charming and lovely. She suggested to Hei Fengxi that they each raise one as an act of kindness. After leaving Yucheng, Bai Fengxi took Han Pu to Taizhen in Shangzhou. They still had to cross a mountain to reach the Tianshuang Sect. Han Pu deeply regretted following Bai Fengxi.

His handsome face was drained of spirit, his eyes dull, and he murmured weakly. Bai Fengxi felt bad, so she took him to a nearby noodle shop, only to discover a large number of refugees flooding into Taizhen. Upon inquiry, she learned they were from the ten cities under Qi Yun’s rule. With the Empyrean Token now lost, Shangzhou took the opportunity to launch an attack on Luocheng, planning to assault the Imperial Family. More conflicts were inevitable.

Bai Fengxi, unable to bear it, gave her only silver leaf to a merchant to help the refugees buy food. Hei Fengxi also noticed the refugees along the road and deduced that the Lord of Shangzhou was testing the Imperial Family’s limits. He vowed not to let such foolish men ruin his plans. At that moment, Shangzhou’s army had reached the gates of Luoyang.

The city lord, Fei Sheng, was at a loss—unable to flee, unwilling to surrender—and could only discuss countermeasures with General Liu Wenxiang. Suddenly, the world-renowned gentleman Yu Wuyuan arrived alone, bluntly stating that Luocheng was in a hopeless situation and offering to personally persuade the Lord of Shangzhou to withdraw his troops. Meanwhile, Bai Fengxi was grilling fish with Han Pu on the mountain.

But Han Pu blew on the fire too hard, turning her fair face into a patchwork of black and white. Fearing reprimand, Han Pu ran into the bushes, only to nearly be killed by Xiao Xuekong’s sword. Luckily, Bai Fengxi arrived in time, pinching the blade between two fingers and demanded that Xiao Xuekong apologize to Han Pu. Huang Chao stepped out from the side, intrigued by Bai Fengxi, and challenged her.

The sound of clashing swords rang out as they fought in close combat. After a few rounds, they were evenly matched. Huang Chao was impressed by her skills and began to suspect her identity. In the world today, she was the second person not to fall behind in a fight—the first being Yu Wuyuan.
