Demonic Fox’s knowledge of the Tenshou was limited but Chen Xiaobei had done his homework beforehand.
This young man nicknamed Tengu became Tenshou’s direct disciple one year before Phantom Rain.
If Tenshou had not discovered Phantom Rain, the person he would have sent to North Wilderness Starfield was this Tengu.
And because of that, Tengu’s cultivation was only in the later phase of True Nirvana stage, far beneath Phantom Rain’s.
But this young man was mentally strong, he did not get upset over this missed opportunity.
Moreover, he did not pull faces or throw tantrums even though he was stuck serving guests and pouring tea all day long.
Phantom Rain went to North Wilderness Starfield for a good ten years and this young man had to stay back, doing all the menial house chores.
“Sifu is waiting in the main hall for you. Please come with me.”
Tengu smiled warmly, moving gracefully.
Chen Xioabei smiled back at him and along with Demonic Fox, followed him into the Tenshou Mansion.
“Little Fox, don’t you think that there’s something off about this person?”
Chen Xiaobei used Thousand Whisper Knots to communicate telepathically with Demonic Fox.
“Yeah! Nurture develops character. After being around the Tenshou for so long, he doesn’t seem to be affected by Tenshou’s evil tendencies! In fact, he’s very gentle and graceful. He has a gorgeous face and his eyes are clear. He has this delicate and muted feel about him, giving the impression that he’s benevolent. That’s really strange!”
Demonic Fox’s name really reflected who she was. Not only was she bewitching and charming like a fox, she also had the intelligence and the instincts of one.
“Good. Be wary of him. He’s not who he appears to be!” Chen Xiaobei warned.
…
The interior of the Tenshou Mansion was a medley of lavishness.
Jade was used as bricks, gold as lighting, stained glass as roof tiles, pearls and corals as ornaments—every item in the room was ornate.
“This old bastard really does know how to enjoy himself!” Demonic Fox sniffed.
“These are actually expected for someone of his level. You have to control your emotion. Try not to blow your cover later!”
“Excuse me? Why would I blow it? Did you even consider the fact that I’ve survived for 18 years because of my amazing acting skills? You are the one who should be careful not to give the game away!”
“I don’t think you know that I’m actually a professional actor!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “China’s top film director Feng Yaolun said that my movie will be screened in Europe and America somewhere in the next half of the year! He said that there’s a chance it’ll get an Oscar. Becoming the best actor with just one film!”
“I know that you are the main male protagonist of ‘Ling Yue the Heroine’. It was released in Japan and was quite a hit for a while!”
“Hehe, right now, you are the female protagonist, I am the male protagonist and let’s give this old bastard the show of his life!”
Chen Xiaobei grinned widely.
…
The luxurious embellishments and furnishing did not continue to the main hall, which was washed in black.
Black jade tiles, black metal throne, and instead of bulbs, the room was lit up with a few dragon palace lanterns.
Stepping into the hall gave off the feeling of going back in time to the hall of ancient kings. A solemn, imposing atmosphere filled every corner of the room.
“Greetings Tenshou God!”
Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox bowed to the man seated on the black throne. The show had begun.
The white-haired old man was more than a century old but he gave off an aura that was more vigorous than a healthy young man’s.
He sat tall, with his chest, though covered by the long chang pao was most definitely toned and muscular, high.
His brows sharp and eyes fierce, like a tiger’s, and his hair was like a lion’s mane. He did not even have to speak to terrorize people.
He was, without a doubt, the owner of this house! The one and only demigod in Japan!
Tenshou!
“There’s no need for all these formalities,” Tenshou said, his voice stern.
Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox got up from their bowing position, then looked up at Tenshou.
After a long pause, Tenshou finally asked, “Holy Lady, do you not know why I called you here?”
“Tenshou God is wise and prescient. I’m sure that you have a plan! I don’t have to ask, I only need to obey!”
Seeing Demonic Fox so obedient, Tenshou had a little peace of mind. He still believed that Demonic Fox did not know who she was.
“Emperor, don’t you want to ask why I wanted you to send your daughter-in-law here?”
Chen Xiaobei pretended to panic and said, “Tochigi is your direct disciple, and I made a deal with you. I have given you the whole country! Whatever you ask for, I am more than willing to do and give!”
Unlike the way Demonic Fox licked his boots, Chen Xiaobei chose to tackle the thing that Tenshou wanted the most.
For the sake of leveling up his cultivation, Nikkawa Uchu sold out his family and country! Sending his daughter-in-law was a natural thing to do!
Tenshou breathed another sigh of relief.
It was not possible that he would be connecting Nikkawa Uchu with Chen Xiaobei.
A few simple words dispelled Tenshou’s suspicion; thus, ensuring that both Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox were safe for the moment.
“Alright. Since you don’t want to know. Get some rest in the guest room! Emperor, you don’t have to leave either. I will fulfill my promise in 2-3 days!”
“Thank you Tenshou God!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled happily and bowed deeply. His acting was spot on.
…
In the guest room.
Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox were in separate rooms, but they were able to communicate without any interference through the Thousand Whisper Knots.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on Chen Xiaobei’s door.
And then a gentle voice called out, “Emperor, it’s me, Tengu.”
Chen Xiaobei raised his brows but immediately went to the door and asked, “Tengu, why are you here?”
“I’ve prepared a pot of tea for you!”
Tengu was holding a tray with a pot and teacups.
“I know you like to your teas. This is the Da Hong Pao from China’s Mount Wuyi. Sifu gave it to me but I don’t know much about teas. I think you might like it!”
Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. It was very well said. There was no reason for Chen Xiaobei to refuse him.
“Come in.”
Chen Xiaobei smiled as he gestured toward the room.
