Volume 2, Chapter 151 – The Enviable Little Girl

Hu Xian’er ended the dream, her consciousness returning to reality.

Opening her eyes, she saw everyone’s tense expressions.

Hu Xian’er took a deep breath and said, “I’ve already informed Her Majesty of the situation.”

“Now we just need to wait for Her Majesty’s orders. We need to be on standby to act at any time.”

“Moreover, Her Majesty…”

Hu Xian’er paused and let out a soft sigh.

“Her Majesty is fine, just slightly weakened due to the effects of the heat period.”

“Her Majesty also said this would actually be more advantageous for carrying out the plan.”

Hearing the new, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To ensure the plan proceeded smoothly, a large number of personnel had been withdrawn from Fox Palace.

Even Hu Mei’er and Hu Xian’er, the two chief stewards, were both away from Fox Palace.

The situation at Fox Palace could only be maintained by Lu Zhuxin alone.

So when they heard Her Majesty might have encountered an incident at Fox Palace, everyone’s hearts had leapt into their throats.

But Her Majesty had already given orders that all operations must proceed according to plan as the top priority. They couldn’t alert the enemy.

So, worried as they were, no one dared disobey Her Majesty’s orders and leave their posts without permission.

Only now, after hearing from Hu Xian’er that Her Majesty was safe, could everyone finally feel at ease.

“Steward Xian’er, that little sword cultivator from Fox Palace has been brought over.”

“We used the teleportation formation that Sect Master Huang set up in advance.”

“That Venerable Saint from the sword sect was detained by Her Majesty. She didn’t notice anything unusual.”

Everyone looked over to see two fox demon maidservants carrying the unconscious Song Shiyuan over.

They brought the pale-faced Song Shiyuan into Hu Xian’er’s tent and laid her flat on Hu Xian’er’s bed.

“Sect Master Huang,” Hu Xian’er looked toward Huang Xifeng.

Among the sword cultivators present, she had the highest cultivation level.

“I understand.” Huang Xifeng, dressed as a graceful woman, nodded at Hu Xian’er.

She walked to the bedside and checked Song Shiyuan’s pulse.

The surrounding fox demons all curiously gathered around.

Although most of the fox demons stationed at Fox Palace had seen Song Shiyuan’s face before…

Many of the fox demons in this encampment had been transferred from various fox demon tribes.

Many of them were leaving their tribes for the first time and had barely seen any sword cultivators.

They’d heard that there was a human sword cultivator who was very favored by Her Majesty.

Now, many of the young fox demons present, whose hearts had just awakened to love, were all curiously swishing their tails as they crowded together, wanting to see what this legendary little sword cultivator actually looked like.

“She’s really pretty,” one little fox demon said.

“I wouldn’t call it that. It’s more cute than anything,” another little fox demon retorted.

“But I think… she doesn’t seem as beautiful as Sister Mei’er…”

“Stop arguing…” A little fox demon crossed her arms and said huffily, “Whether pretty or cute, she can’t compare to Her Majesty!”

As soon as those words were spoken, the topic was immediately settled.

A black line appeared on Hu Xian’er’s forehead. She said irritably, “Shoo, shoo, shoo! Everyone out!”

“What are you little brats crowding around for?”

A group of curious little fox demons were directly shooed out.

Hu Xian’er’s face showed helplessness.

Huang Xifeng finished checking the pulse, set down Song Shiyuan’s wrist, and said, “Don’t worry, she’s fine.”

“Her body is completely normal. She’s only fallen unconscious because her memories were sealed and her consciousness sea was impacted.”

Huang Xifeng stood up and looked at Hu Xian’er. “What do you plan to do with her?”

“Her Majesty said that in her current state, she’s not suitable to continue staying here,” Hu Xian’er said. “The best way to handle this is still to send her away.”

“However, there are only two places to choose from.”

“Nether Abyss City where the Demon Venerable resides has the Nether Abyss Demon Venerable overseeing it… That’s the safest place in the entire Demon Realm.”

“As for the other place…”

Huang Xifeng understood. She said in surprise, “You want me to take her back to Lingxu Sword Sect?”

Hu Xian’er continued, “After all, she’s a sword cultivator. Letting a sword cultivator without memories continue staying in the Demon Realm isn’t a good thing.”

“The human sword sects are where she should return to.”

Huang Xifeng was silent for a moment. “I still need to stay here to oversee the formation. If you really want her to return to a sword sect, I can have Shangshang take her back.”

“But does Her Majesty know about this?”

Huang Xifeng’s eyes gained several degrees of sharpness.

Hu Xian’er didn’t avoid Huang Xifeng’s gaze. “Her Majesty has already entrusted Song Shiyuan’s handling entirely to me. Her Majesty said to treat her well.”

“…” Huang Xifeng frowned slightly. She wanted to say something more.

“Moreover…” Hu Xian’er said, “After Her Majesty finishes dealing with Fox Palace affairs, she will also go to human territory.”

Huang Xifeng was surprised. This was an answer she hadn’t expected. She said, “…It seems you’ve already arranged everything.”

Hu Xian’er didn’t respond.

“In that case, I won’t say anything more. I’ll have Shangshang take Miss Song and leave the Demon Realm tonight.”

After saying this, Huang Xifeng left Hu Xian’er’s tent.

Hu Xian’er watched her leave, then shifted her gaze to Song Shiyuan.

Song Shiyuan was someone she had personally brought into Fox Palace.

During this time, Hu Xian’er had completely observed her interactions with the Fox Monarch.

She reached out and gently stroked Song Shiyuan’s cheek.

“Lucky little girl…”

“Taking advantage of the opportunity, winning first place.”

She leaned down and whispered softly in Song Shiyuan’s ear.

“However, if you want to continue staying by that lord’s side, this alone is far from enough…”

“Listen to me…”

“That lord will still encounter all kinds of hardships and dangers in the future.”

“On her journey, she will continuously meet all sorts of people, many different individuals.”

“Will you be able to remain as you once were…”

“No matter what kind of appearance she becomes in the future…”

“No matter how many beauties surround her…”

“No matter how much tenderness she can spare for you…”

“Will you still be able to choose to stay by her side as always, unwavering and steadfast?”

“If you can do this, then even without the bonds of past memories, the path beneath your feet will eventually intersect with hers in the future.”

“Can you really do it, Song Shiyuan?”

Hu Xian’er stood up, letting out a soft laugh, her eyes cold and indifferent.

“May the divine lord bestow favor upon you once more.”

“Enviable little girl.”

…

Hu Xian’er left her tent.

After walking a short distance, she saw Hu Mei’er’s figure.

Previously, Hu Mei’er had always served as Lu Zhuxin’s guard, but ever since Lu Zhuxin nearly had that accident last time, Hu Mei’er had left Fox Palace on Lu Zhuxin’s orders.

With only seven tails, Hu Mei’er had no power to resist before Qu Qingtang. It was better for her to be at Hu Xian’er’s side, cooperating with her plan, where she could contribute more.

At this moment, Hu Mei’er was sitting on the ground, holding a piece of fabric in her hands, staring blankly.

Hu Xian’er could tell that piece of fabric was… Lu Zhuxin’s bedsheet.

The bedsheet still bore a dark red stain.

Looking at that bedsheet, Hu Xian’er’s eyes grew somewhat dim.

She clenched her fists, let out a soft sigh, then slowly walked over.

“What are you thinking about, Mei’er?”

“Sister Xian’er…” Hu Mei’er looked up at Hu Xian’er.

“I feel so useless…”

“I can’t help with anything…”

“And… when I wasn’t there, Her Majesty even…”

Hu Mei’er tightened her grip on the bedsheet.

“Her Majesty encountered such a thing…”

“Clearly this is when Her Majesty needs someone by her side the most…”

“Yet I…”

“Can only stay here…”

“Unable to do anything…”

“Sigh…” Hu Xian’er listened quietly, then let out a soft sigh. “This isn’t your fault.”

“If we’re going to blame anyone, it should be me…”

“Sister Xian’er?” Hu Mei’er stared blankly at Hu Xian’er beside her.

Hu Xian’er continued speaking.

“I could foresee the dangers Her Majesty might encounter… but I didn’t have the ability to prevent those dangers…”

“Right now, the fox clan is experiencing the greatest crisis in a thousand years.”

“In fact, never mind that you only have seven tails now. Even if Her Majesty had already cultivated nine tails… before a Venerable Saint, it wouldn’t make any difference.”

“Mm…” Hearing this, Hu Mei’er gripped the bedsheet in her hands even tighter.

“Moreover, Her Majesty also told me just now…” Hu Xian’er paused, relaying what Lu Zhuxin had said.

“Song Shiyuan’s actions… actually helped Her Majesty…”

“Helped sever the last…”

“Lingering attachment in her heart…”
