Chapter 1704 “Qiu Moon the Fox (3)”
Qiu Moon closed her eyes and spoke in poignant tone, “Princess, do you not remember the little fox you saved under the silver tree in the Celestial Realm?”
Celestial Realm?
Little fox?
Di Xiao Wan raised an eyebrow, her eyes a look of dullness as small tiny fragments slowly flickered within her mind.
It was a sea of flowers where she found the small little fox. There, she stayed for over a month to care for the small animal, but likewise, the fox also acted as a companion to herself and helped heal some of the hurt inside her own heart.
“Princess, you may not remember me but I… I always remembered you. I remember all the stories you told me, and I also remember your promise to come back for me….” Then making a sad smile like she just remembered the long years of loneliness on her own, “But that wait is a millennium in the making…”
Di Xiao Wan’s heart trembled at the past that has returned to her. Looking down at Qiu Moon and the pool of blood forming around her body, the princess’s heart ached with pain as well: “Little Fox, I didn’t keep my promise to go get you… I’m sorry.”
Not long after she left the sea of flowers, the Demon Realm suffered the great defeat and she too became sealed within a crystal. By the time she awoke again it’s already too late and she had lost her memories.
“Woowoo, Princess, I really didn’t want to hurt you, ” Qiu Moon’s didn’t sound loud, but it’s extremely moving due to how helpless it was, “I am jealous, jealous of State Teacher because all you talked about during that month is of him. I wanted to do everything to destroy that bond, I wanted to you, I wanted to keep you to myself….”
“Then he came along,” flickering a glance towards the haze, the fox lady showed resentment and hate for the one responsible, “he promised me that if I helped him then he could turn me to male fox. Once I become a man, he would let me have you. I felt so lonely, I didn’t want to be lonely anymore.”
I was wrong, I did such terrible mistakes, and now I can never redeem myself….
Qiu Moon’s despairing eye gradually transformed into a look of determination at her last words. Pulling herself up from the ground using the last of her strength, the lady forcefully pushed Di Xiao Wan over to State Teacher and stood as a shield between the pair and the haze.
“Princess, you leave! They are using me as a medium to come to the Demon Realm. If I die then they should also disappear, hahaha!”
Qiu Moon meant what she said there, it’s the voice of a person on their last legs. Even so, she doesn’t feel sad because she finally got the attention of the princess there for the first time since coming here. That only reinforced her will to make a stand!
Boom!
Her momentum suddenly turned violent, darkening the world around herself due to the affinity of her power.
“I’m sorry…” She gives one final farewell before activating her spell.
This is my mistake and I must solve it myself.
“Little Fox, no, don’t…” Di Xiao Wan reflexively cries out, the images of that month under the silver tree flashing over her eyes like a video in full clarity.
