Volume 5 Chapter 138
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 138: Entrustment
Previously, Yue Liu had been weaker than Xia Yi, but after awakening the Nine-Tailed Fox God bloodline, she had surpassed her.
Yet now, Xia Yi had broken through mid-battle and even deployed a domain, surpassing her once again.
Though unwilling, she had to admit it.
“Hmph! As expected of my rival, the one I chose! Only someone like you is worthy of being completely surpassed by me!”
The little fox struck a cool pose, pointing at Xia Yi.
“My rival, just wait, one day I will defeat you completely! Don’t get carried away just because you’re ahead now!”
“I’ll be waiting for your challenge, Fox Radish,” Xia Yi replied.
“When that day comes, and you can’t beat me, then I’ll…” Yue Liu’s ears flushed pink, her voice softening shyly.
Xia Yi didn’t quite understand.
“Fox Radish, your face is really red. Are you sick?”
The silver-haired girl leaned closer, touching her forehead. Their faces drew close enough to feel each other’s breath.
“N-No! I’m not sick, don’t worry about it!!”
Startled, Yue Liu quickly retreated, flustered.
So strange.
Xia Yi thought.
But Yue Liu had always been a strange little fox, so perhaps this was normal.
“Ahem! Anyway, the situation is now stable. The White Night Cult has been eliminated, and the fox royal family has been restored!”
Yue Liu quickly changed the subject.
“Yes. As agreed, the dragon race helped you defeat the cult and restore the throne. Despite many dangers, we achieved that goal,” Xia Yi said.
She paused.
“So, Fox Radish, it’s time for the fox clan to fulfill its promise.”
“The alliance is already known. After completing one final matter, I will formally announce it to the world.”
That matter was…
“I will become the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor!”
……
Late at night, in the fox palace.
Yue Liu stood alone in the courtyard under the cold moonlight.
“Yue Liu, still awake?”
Her father, the Fox Emperor, approached.
“Father, you should be resting…”
“I was concerned about you.”
“…Father, I want to become the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor.”
“Oh?”
“It is both a condition of the alliance, and my own will.”
“I already decided to pass the throne to you.”
“But I want you to know, I chose this myself.”
She finally spoke her heart.
“My daughter… I’m glad you chose this.”
He smiled.
“You’ve grown strong enough for me to step down.”
“Father, I won’t disappoint you.”
She bowed one final time as princess.
“From now on… the fox clan is yours.”
……
Morning sunlight streamed in.
Xia Yi stood by the window.
Knock knock,
“Your Highness! Big news!”
“Elly, come in.”
“The fox princess Yue Liu has officially declared, she will ascend the throne as the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor!”
