Chapter 112: Speaking to the White Fox (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

The incident happened far too suddenly, and in his panic, Ren Yidao almost exposed the strength of his true form.

But fortunately, at the last moment, he regained his senses and realized the voice of the person speaking was somewhat familiar.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big sister isn't a bad person."

Gently soothed by a slender hand, Ren Yidao managed to calm down and slowly turned his head back.

No, it can't be...

Why is it you?

Looking at that graceful, gentle face, Ren Yidao felt for the first time in a long while that his brain wasn't quite working right.

Imperial Concubine Ran...

"Hiss."

The Fox Tail Clone in the room drew a sharp breath as if it had a toothache, and gritted its teeth hard.

Li Lingling, you never told me that your mother was a great expert in the Void Refining Realm!

Huh?

Do you need that kind of strength just to be an Imperial Concubine now?

Brother Long, the quality of your Inner Palace is a bit too formidable, isn't it!?

After his true form broke through to Spirit Transformation, Ren Yidao had been somewhat complacent, feeling that while he might not be able to walk sideways through Wentian City, he should at least have no problem protecting himself.

But now, the cruel reality had given him a resounding slap in the face.

This is Wentian, the undisputed center of the Beigan Dynasty.

With noble families everywhere and experts gathered in crowds, even an Imperial Concubine has the strength of the Void Refining Realm...

Wuwu, I am still too weak.

I have no power!

"So well-behaved, whose are you?"

Looking at the obedient white fox, Imperial Concubine Ran's eyes were full of affection; she gently picked it up, cradled it in her arms, and stroked it, unable to put it down.

Ren Yidao · afraid to move. JPG

You can touch me, touch me all you want.

Ren Yidao dared not act rashly, doing his utmost to conceal his Demon Qi, terrified that he might be exposed.

And Ran Yeting did not think much of it, and after stroking it for a while, she said:

"I will send you home, but for now, walk with me for a while."

There was a touch of loneliness in her voice, and only then did Ren Yidao notice how different Imperial Concubine Ran was from her usual self.

Imperial Concubine Ran had not brought any carriage or retinue on this outing, not even a single attendant.

She wore a gauze hat and had a Long Sword tucked at her waist, walking all alone just like this.

Ren Yidao had thought she was looking for her daughter, but he hadn't expected her to just walk past the room.

While stroking the white fox and walking slowly along the long street, Ran Yeting muttered to herself:

"Last night, I dreamed of my sister."

"Hmm... my former sister, let's call her Xiaomei."

She seemed to be speaking to the white fox, or perhaps to herself.

"An innocent and kind, yet ill-fated, poor sworn sister."

"She was born into a small family, but because she was an illegitimate daughter, she left the family early and came to Wentian all by herself, knowing nothing."

"If I hadn't happened to pass by back then, she would have been sold to a brothel on her very first day in the city."

"At first, I just wanted to give her a helping hand, but who would have thought we would later become friends."

"Later on, we met the Emperor and the brothers Xiaojian, and we began to travel the world together."

"It was also then that the four of us swore to be siblings."

Ran Yeting's voice was full of tenderness and nostalgia for the beautiful past, causing the white fox, acting as her listener, to quiet down.

"Those days were truly nostalgic, it's just a pity... that thing happened later."

Her voice lowered, and the palm Ran Yeting pressed against the white fox's back began to tremble slightly.

"When we returned to Xiao Mei's hometown, we encountered the Late Emperor who had come to find his kin."

"He said... Xiaomei was his illegitimate daughter."

The white fox fell silent; based on the previous situation, he had already guessed what would happen next.

"And at that time, Xiao Mei had already pledged her life to Xiaojian, and they were preparing to find a place to spend their lives together, never to return to Wentian..."

A tragedy of the world: lovers end up as siblings.

"That day, the four of us were no match for him; Xiaomei was forcibly taken away by the Late Emperor, and by the time we saw her again, she had met with an accident... and perished."

"Xiaojian collapsed, disappeared completely from our sight, and hid back in his sect, never to emerge."

With faint tears welling in her eyes, Ran Yeting let out a long sigh.

"Their ending was tragic, and although the Emperor and I were luckier, we didn't fare much better."

"Although the Emperor and I are of one heart, we could never defy the rites and laws, and could only sit in this position of Imperial Concubine."

"I don't care about status, but I cannot let go of the children..."

Imperial Concubine Ran did not wish to fight for the position of Empress, nor did she deign to fight for it.

But she had always been unable to set her mind at ease regarding her children.

"The Emperor thinks I know nothing, but he is wrong."

"I actually know the truth about Ling'er's constitution."

"Before the Imperial Physician left Wentian back then, he risked violating the Imperial decree to secretly tell me about the Blood Star Fate."

"It is strange to say, he is a lone man, yet he goes around shouting that he is not afraid of having his three clans exterminated..."

"That is why all these years, I have always been a bit indulgent toward Ling'er, not letting her come into contact with those messy and troublesome matters..."

"His Majesty sent her to the Divine Path Sect; I originally thought it was a final farewell, but seeing her return safe and sound, they do not know how pleasantly surprised I was."

Ren Yidao's true body felt the trembling of Ran Guifei's body, while the clone in the room silently looked toward the direction of Li Lingling next door.

The young girl had already recovered her mood at this moment and was happily grooming herself, humming a song softly as she prepared to go out.

Compared to many people, she is fortunate.

At home, she is well protected by her parents, who shield her from the wind and rain.

When out and about, the Senior Brothers of the sect also take good care of her.

Most importantly, there is still me, her thoughtful Senior Brother!

The true body, the white fox, did not move around, but instead gently rubbed against Ran Guifei's arm to show comfort.

After losing control of her emotions for a while, Ran Guifei came back to her senses.

"It is truly strange, I have clearly kept these things bottled up in my heart for so many years, why did I suddenly start talking to you about them today?"

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Ran Guifei shook her head helplessly and chuckled:

"The troubles of this world, told to a white fox."

These matters had been suppressed in her heart for too long, and finally, on this morning, she could no longer hold them back, pouring them out to a white fox that could not understand human speech.

Gently tapping the white fox's brow with her fingertip, Ran Guifei recovered her previous graceful temperament.

"Having heard so much of my heart's secrets, you must not go around telling other little foxes, okay?"

"Hehe, what am I saying, you wouldn't understand anyway."

After saying this, she laughed at herself and continued to stroke it.

The white fox signaled: Yes, yes, yes! I don't understand anything! I will definitely not tell other foxes!

Not expecting to hear these secrets, Ren Yidao could not help but marvel at his own luck.

There are still many good people in this world!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He had been immersed in listening to the story just now, but now that he looked up, why was he no longer on the Heavenly Street?

With these red walls and green tiles, where is this...

Looking at the eunuchs and palace maids bowing to Ran Guifei beside him, Ren Yidao suddenly realized.

!!!

Oh ho!?

"It's the Inner Palace!"

Ren Yidao: Brother Long, I am sorry! (bushi
