After speaking, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and let out a sharp sound similar to a cat’s: "Go, find out for me."

All around, countless cat sounds echoed.

The sounds came quickly and disappeared just as fast, and soon the surroundings returned to silence.

"Oh, Lord Situ, why is your face so dark?" a charming voice called out.

Soon, a graceful figure with a slender waist appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

Beside this woman, there was also a somewhat dull-looking young man.

This young man was none other than Qin Muge.

However, at this moment, Qin Muge seemed to be in a daze, standing motionless beside the Fox Demon.

"Demoness, did you get it done?" The middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Qin Muge.

The Fox Demon pouted her lips and answered evasively: "Lord Situ, although I have surrendered to you now, becoming your servant, the name you gave me feels so awkward. Demoness doesn’t feel domineering; I want to be called Daji."

"Hmph, do you think you can become Daji?" the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "I bestowed you the name Demoness, which is a great honor for you. If you don’t like this name, that’s also very easy, I can erase both you and this name together."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a swirl of black mist began to emerge from it.

Under the embrace of the black mist, it seemed as though the middle-aged man could easily devour the Fox Demon with just a movement of his hand.

The Fox Demon, frightened, lowered her head quickly and stammered, "Lord Situ, Demoness was just joking with you, please don’t take it to heart." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Oh, by the way, Lord Situ, this is Qin Muge, Qin Cangqiong’s favorite son. I seduced him over here, and I wonder how you plan to deal with him?" The Fox Demon seemed eager to take credit and quickly pointed to Qin Muge.

Situ Jingtian never really intended to kill the Fox Demon; he was just trying to scare her.

Seeing this, he snorted coldly, withdrew his hand, and turned his gaze to Qin Muge.

"Hehe, he indeed looks fair. For now, I don’t need to do anything to him. During this period, keep him locked in the well, and do not release him until I give my permission," Situ Jingtian instructed.

"Ah?" The Fox Demon looked at Qin Muge with a bit of regret, "Such a handsome face, can’t you let Demoness have a taste first?"

"Hmph, I always knew Fox Demons liked to seduce men, but I didn’t expect that you, with only a Demon Clan bloodline and not a true Fox Demon, would also be so flirtatious?" Situ Jingtian’s face was full of mockery.

The Fox Demon didn’t seem ashamed at all, and instead coquettishly said, "Lord Situ, since I left the Spirit Beast Sect six months ago and became your servant, I am utterly loyal to you! I also know that your powers are immense, and it’s my pleasure to be your servant. But this Qin Muge has such good looks, it would be such a waste to lock him in a well. Besides, if one day you’re not happy and end up killing him, wouldn’t it be even more of a waste? Hehe, so why not let me take advantage first and practice the skills you taught me?"

The Fox Demon’s tone was already laced with a teasing charm.

Yet Situ Jingtian seemed to ignore the Fox Demon’s performance and frowned, "This Qin Muge is merely a pawn in my plan, and beforehand, he must remain unscathed. Demoness, I’m warning you, you can practice those techniques with any man in the city, even some royal family members. But this one is off-limits. If he sustains any damage before he’s of use to me, I will take your life as compensation."
