This low sound might have been hard for ordinary people to detect, but it absolutely could not escape the sharp ears and acute hearing of a fox.
The pink-furred fox, now in human form, led a few subordinates carrying lanterns all the way outside the imperial palace.
"Your Ladyship, what sound did you actually hear?" The subordinates behind her yawned sleepily.
"It is the middle of the night, there is not even a dog outside the palace. Did you have hallucinations?"
"Right, Your Ladyship, the weather is too cold. Let us hurry back and rest."
The pink-furred fox narrowed her eyes and said coldly. "Shut up!"
"Just because you idiots could not hear it, does that mean my ears are mistaken?"
"There was clearly a very strange noise coming from outside the palace just now."
"It is highly likely that someone harbors malicious intentions toward the Great King. I absolutely must investigate!"
