"It's all my fault. If I could remember my wife's words and not disobey her, I wouldn't let her drive me away so angry.
"But what's the use of regretting it now? Now that the matter has come to this, I can only protect her silently."
Honglian was thinking about what to do next all the way. Although she was very loyal to the city lord, she had been doing her best to complete the tasks assigned to him over the years.
But for some reason, since she and Yu Nuo came to Yunfu City, she just wanted to protect her wholeheartedly and didn't want to be caught between the two of them anymore.
If she hadn't worried about these things, she wouldn't still be working for Lincheng and doing things that went against Madam's wishes.
She hammered her head with a sad look on her face, feeling extremely regretful in her heart. At the same time, a red light flashed from the sky and came behind her. Fox Princess was smiling charmingly and fixed her sight behind her.
"Without her protection, I wonder if you still dare to speak sharply to me!"
"Tomorrow, I will let your body be exposed in front of everyone in Xicheng. At that time, your ugly face will be made public!"
With a sharp look in her eyes, her ten claws suddenly extended. Just when she was about to charge towards her, a person suddenly appeared behind her, grabbed her shoulders and led her around until she disappeared.
Honglian suddenly turned around warily and looked at the pitch-black area. She couldn't help but be a little surprised: "It's strange. There seemed to be something behind me just now?"
She felt the coldness and clasped her hands on her chest: "Forget it, let's find an inn first!"
Fox Ji's pupils suddenly glowed with white light, her eyes were cold, and she wanted to wave the hand on her shoulder.
She turned around and looked, and her outstretched paw suddenly stopped in mid-air: "Why is it you?"
Juelin snorted coldly: "If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to survive a few days in Yunfu City."
"What do you mean by that?"
Fox Princess returned to her original form and said with a slight frown.
"Are you really stupid to hook up with yourself just for a momentary impulse?"
"Don't you know what kind of person Lin Fan is in the same house as you? If you dare to kill someone under his eyes, you will be risking your own life!"
Juelin walked up behind her with a slight smile on his face: "I hope you can take care of yourself!"
"Why are you helping me!"
Fox Ji suddenly turned around and looked at her with a complicated expression.
Juelin's face turned cold and he said in a cold voice: "I just happened to be passing by and happened to meet someone from the same clan. I just wanted to remind you that I didn't mean to save you."
"Sister Lin, I know you still miss our friendship, right?"
Fox Princess said excitedly.
"I've only met you a few times, so where is the friendship and love between you?"
The voice was extremely cold, without any extraneous emotion. Fox Girl clenched her palms tightly and walked up to her. She said in a sincere voice: "The past was my fault. Can you forgive me?"
Juelin didn't look him in the eye, she could only look at the dish with trembling eyes and a dull expression: "I've made it very clear, we are just passers-by who have met a few times. There is no such thing as forgiveness."
"There is no relationship between us at all, so you don't have to bother me again and again in the future!"
When Hu Ji saw that she was about to leave, she suddenly felt cruel and grabbed her right hand: "I know that I didn't listen to you about that matter, but why can't you listen to my explanation?"
"Hundreds of years have passed since the incident, and I already know I was wrong. I, Fox Princess, have lived for hundreds of years, and I only have you as my best friend. Why can't you let go and forgive me?"
Juelin sneered: "What's the point of what you are doing now? Let me ask you, who was the one who wanted to sever the relationship in the first place? Who was the one who wanted to elope with the human race? I tried many times to persuade but was accused of being nosy. Who is it?"
"Do you have to break up again to be happy?"
"How could I not consider you my best friend?"
"But now that it is a thing of the past, I wish we had never known each other. I, Juelin, am not qualified to be your friend, Fox Princess!"
After that, she walked straight over. Fox Ji stared at her back with slightly trembling hands, unable to say anything for a moment.
Juelin stopped abruptly and said in a cold voice: "Oh, by the way, I advise you to leave the City Lord's Mansion and Yunfu City as soon as possible. It is best not to have too much contact with people from the human race, because with your With your temperament, this place is not suitable for you to live."
After saying that, she disappeared into the darkness.
"sorry."
Fox Queen was reluctant to see her leave, and there was an indescribable emotion in her heart, which was very uncomfortable in her chest.
In front of a thatched house, a beautiful woman wearing a bamboo hat stood. Seeing Juelin appear, her face suddenly lit up: "Sister, you are here!"
Although her face was as cold as ever, it seemed to be a little more depressed at this moment: "Where have you been?"
She raised her head, her eyes a little bitter, but it was obvious that she was still pretending to be nonchalant: "Are your parents okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I've been visiting them often these past few days. I cooked them a few dishes just now, and they said with tears that she really looks like their daughter." Qingwan said with a trembling voice.
They were clearly right in front of them, but they couldn't recognize each other. Perhaps only she could feel the heart-wrenching pain most personally.
Juelin stared at her for a moment, then involuntarily stretched out his hands to arrange her bamboo hat: "It's getting cold, let's go back first."
Qingwan nodded, and then followed Juelin.
"Girl! Wait!"
When she heard her mother's call, her heart trembled, and she suddenly turned around. She saw an old woman with half-thick hair standing in the dim candlelight, and ran over.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
"We, the two elders, don't know where we got our blessings. Fortunately, the girl often visits us. Our family is poor, so only this jade bracelet is valuable. It was left behind by my daughter during her lifetime. I hope the girl won't dislike it."
Qingli looked at this white jade bracelet. It was a jade bracelet that his father personally asked a craftsman to tailor-make for him when his family was wealthy. He had been preparing for this for a long time, just to give it to himself as a gift on his birthday.
She looked inside the room and saw her father in a wheelchair smiling kindly at her. For a moment, she felt her eyes sore, but she could only hold back her heart.
With surging emotions, he said: "How can this be done? This is what your daughter left behind. You must be very precious. How can I accept it?"
The aunt smiled kindly and looked at Qingwan with deep meaning in her eyes: "The two of us have just discussed that this jade bracelet should be left alone, and her most precious thing is already in our hearts and will stay with us until we die."
"In this case, then this jade bracelet should be used in valuable places. As they say, jade raises people. We hope that kind-hearted girls like you can live happily, so that we will also be very happy."
As she said that, the aunt's calloused hand put it on Qingwan's hand so carefully.
She suddenly couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, hugged her aunt tightly, and cried silently. (End of chapter)
