Chapter 1173: Jealousy

"I'm going to find her now." Chen Yu hugged Ning Ruoxue, then turned and walked out the door.

Watching Chen Yu leave, Ning Ruoxue collapsed onto the bed, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Jealous?" Sanwei popped out from who knows where.

"You scared me." Ning Ruoxue was startled, but upon seeing it was her, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Little girl, do you know what it means to be jealous?" Liu Xian also swayed in, walking with a staggered gait.

"Of course I know. Feelings between humans exist among us Fox Clan as well," Sanwei said leisurely. "Our ancestor and that cruel, heartless monarch were not without feelings for each other."

"Ancestor? Cruel monarch? Are you talking about... that Shang Zhou?" Ning Ruoxue was shocked. Could these legendary things actually be true?

"That's right." Those things are all true; we even have portraits of our ancestor in our clan.

"Although she was executed by Jiang Shang back then, she left behind a life-vein for our Heavenly Fox Clan, which is why our clan's Spirit and Immortal Fate are far stronger than other demon clans," Sanwei said.

"There are still portraits?" Ning Ruoxue's eyes lit up. "I heard that your ancestor Daji was born with a beauty that could topple nations. I want to see what she actually looked like."

"You can, but you'd have to follow me to the Demon Realm and go to our clan to see it. That portrait cannot be brought out, and it generates its own divine light; modern video cameras and cameras just capture a blur."

"Is that so? That is truly a pity." Ning Ruoxue was stunned. Go to the Demon Realm? Was she crazy? To go to that place and be washed clean by a bunch of little demons, put in a pot, and eaten?

"Hee hee, if you have the chance to visit our clan, Heavenly Fox Valley is very beautiful. As long as you have a Demon Realm clearance document, the people of the Demon Realm won't make things difficult for you," Sanwei said. "However, that has to be issued by the Demon Emperor."

"Then forget it. The Demon Emperor... what kind of heaven-defying giant demon is that?" Ning Ruoxue shook her head and immediately passed on Sanwei's suggestion. She wasn't crazy yet; right now, even a small demon could scare her half to death.

The Demon Emperor? She had no desire to provoke that kind of legendary thing.

"So you are still jealous?" Liu Xian seemed determined to harp on this question.

"I am not!" Ning Ruoxue glared at her. "I just regret not being able to contact him in time. Now that he's gone over there, I don't know if that young lady from the Ye Family is still there."

"Sigh, we are all women, we understand," Liu Xian giggled. "Although you appear indifferent on the surface, in reality, your heart is still somewhat lost."

"Even though you are just as important to him as she is, when you see him rushing off to find her, you still feel a bit jealous. This is a woman's nature; it cannot be changed."

"Are all women like this?" Ning Ruoxue asked blankly.

"Yes, all women are like this," Sanwei said leisurely. "Women are always sensitive and fragile. Even if you are determined to give selflessly for someone, when you see your own man with another woman, you still can't help but overthink."

"Little girl, you understand this? Since when did you become an expert?" Ning Ruoxue glared at the girl. Being lectured in public made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Especially since this little girl looked at most fifteen or sixteen, yet she had such an old-fashioned air about her, which made her blush even more.

"Although I don't understand it, you also know that among the demon clans, our Fox Clan is the most sentimental," Sanwei said. "In our clan, there are countless legends about such things."

"So I've been used to hearing about matters of the heart since I was small. Having heard so much, I naturally understand more."

"Most of your legends are just sour, stinky romances. What's so good about them?" Ning Ruoxue said dismissively.

"That's not true. You call other people's love sour and stinky, but what about yours?" Sanwei glared back at Ning Ruoxue, refusing to be outdone.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep." Ning Ruoxue had run to quite a few places over the last two days and was indeed tired, so she collapsed onto the bed and pulled the covers over her head to sleep.

"Escaping reality." Sanwei couldn't help but roll her eyes, then she crawled up beside her and squeezed into the quilt.

Liu Xian looked at the two of them helplessly, then turned and vanished without a trace.

Arriving at the scenic area, Chen Yu's Divine Sense wandered everywhere, sensing for Ye Xinyu's aura.

The scenic area was huge; without using his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, Chen Yu couldn't find where she was at all.

Finally, in front of a famous Immortal Spring, Chen Yu scanned a familiar aura.

That was it.

Chen Yu's heart stirred, he took a step, and within a few breaths, he had already arrived before the Immortal Spring.

The Immortal Spring was a famous local tourist attraction. In front of this place was a pool of water, and above the pool, a waterfall cascaded down.

Because of the water flow, a thin mist rose up above this place, and the unique geographical location prevented the water vapor from rising into mid-air.

A faint, elusive trace of Spiritual Energy locked the mist above the pool; as long as you shouted at it, a light rain would appear...

That is how the Immortal Spring got its name. Therefore, many people come here every day to make wishes. It is said that if you make a wish here and then shout loudly, and it rains, your wish will come true.

Of course, these legends were just made up by bored people. The rain here can be explained by science, but even so, many people come every day, paying several hundred to make a wish.

There were many people today as well. Ye Xinyu stood before the Immortal Spring, looking at the thin mist in mid-air, and her state of mind suddenly brightened.

Someone made a wish, and a light rain descended from mid-air, causing everyone to cheer excitedly.

Amidst the cheering, Ye Xinyu slowly extended her hand. Several water droplets gathered rapidly, and a moment later, they condensed into a large water droplet at her fingertip.

She flicked her hand, the droplet fell into her palm, and the icy water slid down her fingertips.

A rare trace of a smile appeared on her face. Watching the rain falling from the sky and the cheering crowd here, she suddenly remembered the time she spent with Chen Yu in the past.

When they first married, Chen Yu was not good to her, but until that day, another Chen Yu was born into the body.

She couldn't figure out now who the Chen Yu she liked really was. In the haze, the two seemed to have merged into one person.

But because their fate was toyed with by others, she and Chen Yu had to be separated. Having not seen him for a long time, even the bitter days she spent with him in the past now felt so nostalgic when she looked back on them.

Where is he? Is he doing well now? Their daughter should be able to walk and talk by now. The person she hadn't seen for so long condensed into little bits of longing, hidden deep in her heart.

Watching the people who had made wishes leave in high spirits, Ye Xinyu revealed a faint smile. She walked to the front and whispered her wish: "I want to see him..."
