543 Hu Yu Chooses To Surrender
Hu Yu waved her hand impatiently. “If you can’t resist it, go back. Get lost!”
When the foxes heard this, they quickly left as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Hu Yu swallowed her saliva and tears of anger welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
While the people inside were enjoying the meal, Hu Yu gritted her teeth.
Liu Yuanyuan ate very slowly. She seemed to be doing it on purpose. Bit by bit, she wanted to finish everything.
Liu Sanniang went to make fruit tea. It was her favorite tea that she would bring with her everytime she went out.
Liu Yuanyuan smiled. “Venerable, you’re amazing. It’s delicious. Venerable Chu is really lucky to have you. I’m so envious.”
Su Yanyu felt that this snake was different from the one he met in private.
Liu Yuanyuan ate slowly, and the food on the table decreased at a steady pace.
“You’re too much.”
A wind blew past the door and the next moment, Hu Yu was already sitting at the table. She looked at Liu Sanniang with tears in her eyes. “You won, okay? I want to eat too. I’ll believe you, no matter what you say. I know you must have something to tell me.”
She knew it with her fox intuition.
Hu Yu reached out to point at a bowl of duck soup. “I want to eat this.”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Take it. We’ll talk after that.”
Hu Yu snorted. She knew that everything was a scheme, but the food was really amazing. The meat was fragrant and the soup was delicious.
Hu Yu stared at Liu Yuanyuan as she ate, as if she wanted to compete with her over who could eat faster.
After eating her fill, Hu Yu licked the corner of her mouth and looked at Liu Sanniang. “How did you make it so delicious?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “Probably I’m talented.”
After all, she had lived for more than 75 years. In that lonely life, she had spent many years polishing her culinary and embroidery skills.
Hu Yu smacked her lips. “What do you want exactly?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Yu. “Do you remember what I said last time about your mother having to face a life-and-death calamity. I’ve already seen your mother. In this life-and-death calamity, there’s still a chance for her to survive. I hope you can convince her to believe me and seize this chance.”
Hu Yu looked at Liu Sanniang. “You know that the tribulation has a time restriction, right? It happens once every one hundred years. My mother is 946 years old this year. Why would she face a life-and-death crisis at this juncture? Why are you looking for the flood dragon?”
Hu Yu looked at Liu Sanniang intently. As soon as Liu Sanniang showed any signs of abnormality, she would instantly catch it. At that time, no matter what Liu Sanniang said, she would not believe it.
However, Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm and her eyes were sincere. As long as one looked into her eyes, they would know that what she said was true. No matter if it was a good thing or a bad thing, she would not lie. Whether you believed it or not, she would not change.
Liu Yuanyuan took out a golden body. “Let me explain. It’s not fate that caused the flood dragon to fail the tribulation. It’s man-made.”
Hu Yu frowned. “Impossible.”
The flood dragon was about to transform into a dragon. How could its fate be taken away by someone? No one had such an ability.
Liu Yuanyuan put away the golden body. “Nothing is impossible. Your mother must have contributed to it, which is why she is about to face a life and death calamity. If you have any doubts about it, you can ask her.”
Hu Yu looked at Liu Yuanyuan and gritted her teeth. “What does this have to do with you?”
Liu Yuanyuan said, “Of course it does. The flood in Jiangzhou started because of the flood dragon. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced. If we don’t find out the truth, not only will your mother fail to transcend the tribulation, but she will also be reduced to ashes. She won’t even have a chance to reincarnate.”
No one in the world could bear such a heavy sin of causing tens of thousands of people to die.
Hu Yu said, “I’ll go ask my mother now. I’ll be back. I still want to eat the food you make.”
After saying that, Hu Yu left. With a flash, a silver figure disappeared.
Su Yanyu held his breath and slowly took in a few deep breaths. He muttered softly. “Doesn’t this fox like to eat chicken?”
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Su Yanyu as if she was looking at an idiot. “Who said that foxes only eat chicken?”
Su Yanyu was speechless and cleaned up the dishes in silence.
After returning to her room, Liu Sanniang began to draw talismans and found some jars to refine poison.
When Hu Yu arrived at the Huang family, Hu Qiushui seemed to have sensed her arrival. She immediately cast a barrier to prevent Hu Yu from entering.
Hu Yu was angry and shouted from outside. “Mother, I know that you’re inside. If you don’t see me, I won’t leave. I’ll wait outside.”
Hu Qiushui frowned in the room and said helplessly, “If you have something to say, just say it. It’s not convenient for me to see you now. If there’s nothing serious, go back and wait for me. I’ll be back when I finish serving my Venerable.”
The lightning tribulation would be brought forward. Since it would be plagued by heavy resentment, she would definitely die. She refused to see Hu Yu because she did not want Hu Yu to be affected.
Hu Yu was determined to get to the bottom of it, so she naturally did not leave.
She said, “Mother, are you hiding something from me? You said that you wanted me to go back and wait, but it’s just a lie. The Heavenly Tribulation is coming. If I go back, I won’t even be able to see you one last time.”
When Hu Yu thought of Liu Sanniang’s words, she felt a lump in her throat and cried. “Without you, no one in the world will love me. I’ll just be a lonely fox.”
Hu Qiushui arrived beside Hu Yu in an instant. She looked at Hu Yu seriously. “Who told you this?”
Hu Yu’s eyes were filled with tears. “Mother, you really planned to leave me silently, but I would have found out eventually. No matter how many years pass, I would have been sad and never be able to walk out of the pain of losing you.”
