Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 33 A Sudden War



Chapter 33 A Sudden War

Looking at the snow tribe aroused Wuyou’s memories a long time ago. Revisiting the old place, she felt everywhere here was familiar. Seen from afar, the village was indeed surrounded by the apricot forest.

“Do you still remember this place, Linghe?”

“Of course yes! How can I forget it? You’re tender like water. I remember the first time I saw you. You were alone in the crowd, tasting the candied haw. You might be very curious about human society at that time, right? When you threw the little jade fox to the old man, I knew you are kind-hearted. I followed you all the way, and was curious why you looked so sad at the high platform, what happened to you, and why was there arrogance beyond your age in your eyes? If I can make such a woman change, how happy will I be? At that time, I knew that we would fall in love with each other. We will be always together...regardless of the time.”

“Linghe, it’s good to be with you all the way. I’m so lucky. You gave me a home, so that I’m no longer lonely.”

“The cabin next to the creek is my grandpa’s house.”

Xu Linghe grabbed Wuyou’s small hand and walked on the soft tender grass tip. Wuyou followed him, stepping on his big footprints with smirks along the way. She really hoped to be with the man till the end of the world.

The whole village was covered in lush green plants, with some smoke out of the chimneys on the roofs. Xu Linghe came to his grandpa’s yard.

A yellow dog was barking, seeming to greet them. Suddenly, the door opened. The dog saw its owner and rushed over. The old man patted its head, while the dog wagging its tail to please him.

“Naughty dog! Why aren’t you sleep this late at night? Let me catch some rabbits tomorrow to make you a tonic.”

“Grandpa, you spoil the dog so much! It almost lives a human life!”

“Who?”

The old man took a few steps forward, and when he recognized Xu Linghe, he couldn’t help laughing out.

“Qi’er, come out! Guess who’s here!”

Wuyou knew that Qi’er was Xiao Qi. But she did not want to see him now, for Xiao Qi would remind her of the past helplessness.

“Ling’er, it’s cold outside, and let’s go in!”

The old man took vigorous strides into the cabin. Seeing grandpa was still in good health, Xu Linghe felt a little more gratified. The room was warm. Wuyou stamped her feet to take off dust. After she glanced over the room and didn’t see Xiao Qi, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

“Linghe, look what treasure I got!”

Xiao Qi held a cup, in which there was a leaping small dragon. It pulled its head, for it had made the water spill over and splash on Xiao Qi.

“Your pet?”

“Yes, I adopted it. Don’t underestimate this little guy. It killed my money toad, my python and even ate the cattle. The villagers were furious and wanted to slaughter it. I couldn’t bring myself to let it die so pitifully, so I decided to raise it first. I don’t know what it will become in the future.”

“Xiaoyou, come over to see my grandpa and cousin!”

“Grandpa, my name is Jiang Wuyou.”

“Xiaoyao, why you are here?”

The hands of Xu Linghe and Wuyou clenched together. Looking at that, Xiao Qi felt sour and sorrowful in his heart as if it had sunk to the bottom of a valley. They had fallen in love with each other! At this time, Xiao Qi knew that he had not taken advantage of Xiaoyao before, but loved her! He never thought he would love a woman.

“Grandpa, she is my wife.”

Xu Linghe smiled happily. Blushes climbed on Wuyou’s ears. She wanted to loosen Linghe’s grip, but failed.

Xiao Qi refused to see their tenderness of love any longer. His heart hurt, seeming to be torn up. He wished whom he loved was Qin Lengyue, which would make him better now. But he knew he had fallen in love with a soul. The past had gone, leaving the current spirit only.

“He’er, getting married is a big thing, and I must attend your wedding. But unfortunately, though the Fairy Kingdom has just removed the foreign aggression, the domestic trouble begins. Your uncle colluded with an alien tribe to assault the South. The Majesty was alone this time. Even the phoenix tribe and the eagle tribe are both rebels. Only our snow tribe is left with peace.”

Wuyou knew that the Fairy Kingdom would be split sooner or later. The Majesty was soft in handling affairs, whereas Xiao Yan was cold and decisive. In the war against the fire tribe, in order to lead Wuyou to the hook, he abandoned Xiao Linggong. Under the rule of him was such a catastrophe of the Fairy Kingdom.

“Grandpa, the human society will also be in big chaos. The Chidi, one of the four spirits, has resurrected. I used the Ancient String Instrument to seal him.”

“You saw the Chidi?”

Xiao Qi was even shocked. It was this Chidi who let the Fairy Kingdom be covered with the snow for hundreds of years, so he hated the Chidi to the core.

“Yes. It was such a crisis when I met him. To save Xiaoyou, I used the String Instrument to block his attack. When I took a closer look at him, I found he was pretty like dad, so I was soft-hearted and let him go. But now I feel something wrong. I have tested dad several times but discovered no flaw. However, that made me feel more skeptical. Because dad never mentioned mom’s death. But dad remembers everything happened that day, which makes me more convinced that dad may have been controlled by someone, because no matter how cruel he is, he won’t kill me.”

“He’er, if your dad is indeed controlled by the Chidi, and has done injurious things, how will you treat him?”

“I hate him. He has abandoned our family for his own interests. But I never want to hurt him. Since I lost my mom when I was young, I have already understood that the law of the jungle.”

“Linghe, do you mean that Chidi is the weakest now? Why not let him in our Fairy Kingdom and solve the curse to restore the prosperity of the past. And it’s better if we can gather spiritual cultivators to destroy him.”

“You are right. But the domestic trouble has not been removed, and how can we have the strength to fight against him? Gosh! When will the kingdom be peaceful again? The Majesty and your uncle are both my children, hard for me to choose one.”

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I will go to the Fairy City with cousin and Xiaoyou tomorrow.”

How could Wuyou fall asleep this night? The sun just showed up, and the yellow dog in the yard began to bark again. Wuyou heard the closing of the door, and then she got out of bed. Xu Linghe was enjoying the Tianqing Tea with his cousin outside.

“Xiaoyou, have some food first. We’ll leave when grandpa comes back.”

“Grandpa got up so early? Really vigorous!”

“He once governed the Fairy Kingdom when he was young.”

Xiao Qi put down the teacup and walked out of the house. The highest peak of the Fairy Kingdom was in the distance. It was covered with snow all the year round without sunshine for 500 years. Seen from afar, it was totally white. The thick snow slope disguised the creatures underground. Perhaps, a ray of sunshine would enable them to break through the soil, but maybe there wouldn’t be sunshine anymore.

“Xiaoyou, you are now the heroine of the Fairy Kingdom.”

“Cousin, I know it. I go to the Fairy City with another aim this time, to inform Uncle Xiao Yi that Wuyou will soon be my wife. So maybe, I won’t take the position to be the Commander in Chief. I hope uncle can consent.”

Xiao Qi cast a look at Wuyou, aiming to know what was in her brain. However, besides happiness, what surrounded her now was her fondly look at his cousin.

Xiao Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the end of the mountain. Alright, it was time for him to take action. He had witnessed the Little Fox to fight against the Chidi in the war of the fire tribe, so he learned a little about the strength of the Little Fox. The Little Fox was too young to release all the Ancient Spirit energy.

He regretted that he did not save the Little Fox in the crisis, but his cousin did it. There was a bit of remorse in his heart. But after all, love was not what they should have.

Yes! Born in the imperial palace, being affected since childhood, each pure heart would be polluted by this dirty palace.

“Cousin, what are you thinking about? We can’t understand you. And Linghe has called you a few times, but all failed to pull you back from your thoughts. You are so fascinated.”

Hearing the pleasing barks of the yellow dog, Xu Linghe knew that his grandpa was back. Seeing the old man with venison, the yellow dog kicked up its heels. A dog living a good life!

“Grandpa, I’m not good at fighting, but I will try my best.”

“After today, when will you come to see me again? The older, the lazier. I don’t like to leave home anymore.”

“My wedding will be set on fifteenth of the next month. I’ll pick you up to human society then.”

“Go, Linghe! The war doesn’t wait for people. If you can’t arrive in time, the dead will all be the people of our Fairy Kingdom.”

Wuyou, Xu Linghe and Xiao Qi went out of the yard. The yellow dog began to follow them. When it was near them, they had already rushed to the sky. The old man stroked the dog’s head with a worried face. After all, they were all his kids.

On the cloud, Wuyou overlooked the Fairy City. She was cool when she flew over the soul battle arena again, where she had been hardworking with sweats, where she became strong, where she knew the meaning of insistence, and where she understood only never giving up would help her surpass the limits, and only when she was alive, could she own a bright future.

Wuyou controlled the wind to go down to the soul battle arena. Xu Linghe followed her. He watched the little woman at the high platform with pity. Snow fluttered, and the little woman in it was looking into the distance. The naughty little snowflakes got into her dark hair, adding a bit of tenderness to her.

Xiao Qi in the distance silently looked at her. In the past time, he brought her to the Fairy City, only because he wanted to use her as a chess piece, letting her fight for territories for him. But he didn’t expect to fall in love with her. Love was like a savage beast, and in front of it he looked so small; how could he block it?! His love was a flame that could light up a whole grassland, never to be wiped out no matter how cold. He knew that she loved Xu Linghe, but it was still hard for him to stop his one-sided love.

“Let’s go.”

Wuyou flew up to the clouds and headed for the city. Looking at the soul battle arena behind him, Xu Linghe’s heart was filled with emotions. He wondered what kind of belief could let the little woman turn the tide to win the position of the Commander in Chief, and make his girl become so powerful. He felt comforted, at the same time, his heart ached for her.

When the imperial city was closer and closer, what Wuyou saw was a quiet capital. There were few pedestrians on the street. The closed doors told the passengers that this was an isolated city. The majestic imperial city was covered with snow for a hundred years. The footprints of the three had broken the pureness of the world.

“Who’s coming?”

The gatekeeper of the imperial palace felt familiar about the woman in front of him, but he couldn’t remember who she was.

“Report your name!”

Wuyou cast a glance at the gatekeeper and then flew up the palace wall. Xu Linghe and Xiao Qi followed her tightly. The gatekeeper looked at Wuyou’s back and suddenly remembered something with an annoying yet funny look.

“My Majesty, they’re coming.”

A eunuch kneeled down on the ground in panic, which made Xiao Yi look at the ministers on the main hall with his brows tightly knitted. But now he was hard pressed for helpers, so he suppressed his anger. He was busy and tired with the wars. He never thought that Xiao Yan would betray the country, collude with the fire tribe to rob his imperial throne, and even incite the phoenix tribe and the eagle tribe. Fortunately, Xiao Nai was still in his control.

“Your Majesty.”

Seeing his Commander in Chief, Xiao Yi sat well lest he lost his prestige. Only Xiao Yi knew that this girl who had been missing for half a year was his last life-saving straw, very important to stabilize his imperial power.
