Volume 3, Chapter 238 – This Is Destiny

“Your Highness,” the wolf clan elder said. “The Demon Suppression Bureau’s people are coming soon. If we continue to stay here, it will be dangerous.”

Bu Lianshuang kept watching the two girls closely as they embraced in the medical clinic.

Only after the wolf clan elder’s second reminder did she withdraw her gaze.

“Let’s go,” Bu Lianshuang took a light breath and turned to leave.

Inside the medical clinic, Chi Xiyan unexpectedly glanced outside the window.

“Hm?”

Just now, she seemed to feel a hostility, a hostility directed at her.

But when she looked again, she found nothing.

“There’s no one outside.”

It seemed the hostility she’d just felt was an illusion.

…

“Your Highness, this way.”

A small fox in yellow robes led Bu Lianshuang and the wolf clan warriors to a new hiding place.

“Your Highness, it’s inadvisable for you to show yourselves during this time.”

“Once Her H… once Sister Yu has dealt with the Chi family matters, she’ll make other arrangements for you.”

After speaking, the small fox in yellow was about to turn and leave.

But Bu Lianshuang called out to her, “Wait.”

The small fox looked at Bu Lianshuang with confusion. “Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?”

Bu Lianshuang said pensively, “Can you tell me, exactly what is that Miss Yu’s identity?”

The small fox in yellow showed a troubled expression. “Your Highness… this…”

“What’s wrong? Can’t her identity be spoken of?” Bu Lianshuang asked.

“Mm,” the small fox in yellow nodded. “If Your Highness wants to know, you should ask her yourself.”

“If she doesn’t want to tell you… then naturally we can’t say either.”

Bu Lianshuang wasn’t surprised.

This small fox’s reaction also allowed Bu Lianshuang to confirm something.

That fox lady called “Yu Lizhi” truly had an unusual status within the fox clan.

“Then… can you tell me what Miss Yu intends to do by infiltrating the Chi family?” Bu Lianshuang asked. “With the wealth the fox clan possesses, there’s no need to covet the Chi family’s little fortune, right?”

“Your Highness,” the small fox in yellow said. “This is Her H… is Sister Yu’s own plan. Even if you ask, we can’t say…”

Bu Lianshuang paused for a moment, then hung a natural smile on her face again.

“It’s fine.”

“I overstepped by asking these questions.”

“I won’t disturb you. Go ahead and attend to your business, little fox.”

The small fox in yellow nodded and quickly ran off.

“Your Highness,” the wolf clan elder looked at Bu Lianshuang, worry in his eyes. “You’re not still thinking about that matter, are you?”

“You just saw it yourself, that fox clan girl’s conduct!”

“How could such a person become your destined one?”

“Even if it’s the deity, He shouldn’t humiliate His most faithful believer like this.”

Bu Lianshuang was silent for a moment before saying, “Does the elder want me to abandon the wolf clan’s traditions and go against the deity’s prophecy?”

“The elder seems to have forgotten that I could become the wolf clan’s divine maiden precisely because of the deity’s will, because of the wolf’s traditions.”

Bu Lianshuang slightly lowered her eyes and said, “Actually, when I left the wolf clan’s territory and came to the human nation, I vaguely had a premonition…”

“During this journey, I might encounter some major events concerning my life, concerning my future.”

“When I met that fox lady, I became even more certain of this feeling.”

“Even more convinced of the deity’s prophecy.”

Bu Lianshuang raised her hand to lightly touch her chest. “Clearly it was the first time I met her, but I felt like it wasn’t our first meeting.”

“The wolf clan doesn’t like foxes, dislikes the fox clan’s methods, dislikes the scent on foxes.”

“But I have no way of generating these feelings of dislike toward that fox lady…”

Bu Lianshuang smiled bitterly. “In fact, when I saw her being held in that human woman’s embrace, a surge of anger rose in my heart.”

“And also…”

“Jealousy.”

The wolf clan elder was speechless. The expression on his face was somewhat bitter. “Your Highness, you’ve only known her for less than a few hours…”

“I know,” Bu Lianshuang said. “That’s precisely why I’m even more certain of this feeling.”

“According to what fox clan people would say, this should be called love at first sight.”

“But I feel that explanation isn’t quite accurate…” Bu Lianshuang said.

“My encounter with her in the human empire.”

“The feelings I developed for her.”

“All of this, everything, is as if there’s an invisible pair of hands behind it, pushing our meeting.”

“This is His will.”

“And also my destiny.”

The wolf clan elder’s eyes slightly trembled. “Your Highness, what do you want to do?”

Bu Lianshuang paused, then continued, “Wolf clan people know gratitude and repay kindness.”

“Even a drop of water’s grace must be repaid with a gushing spring.”

“She saved my life, so naturally I must repay with my life.”

“Miss Yu infiltrating the Chi family definitely has some plan. I can’t let her face danger alone in that kind of place.”

Complex light flickered in Bu Lianshuang’s eyes.

“I’m going to the Chi family.”

“I’m going to help her.”

…

Two flowers bloom, each branch told separately.

Lu Zhuxin still didn’t know of Bu Lianshuang’s plans at this time.

Right now, she was enjoying a big sister’s love and care for her little sister.

“Zhizhi, does it still hurt?” Chi Xiyan was applying medicine to Lu Zhuxin.

Lu Zhuxin first let out a soft “hiss,” then quickly shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore, Sister.”

Chi Xiyan’s eyes showed some helplessness.

This girl’s neck wound wasn’t that easy to heal to begin with, and now after that wolf clan princess’s rough treatment, it had torn open a bit more.

Back and forth, not only had this wound not recovered much, it had actually worsened considerably.

Not only that, besides the wound on her neck, this girl had many new injuries on her body and arms.

“Are you really alright?” Chi Xiyan’s eyes carried some worry.

Looking at this girl’s appearance, she didn’t seem fine at all.

She was just an ordinary person without a cultivator’s endurance.

An ordinary person’s body was delicate. Even the slightest external injury would be extremely painful.

“Sister doesn’t need to worry about me,” Lu Zhuxin said in a small voice. “When I worked as a maid for others before, I often got injured too.”

“I’m already used to it.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiyan fell silent for a moment, then continued applying medicine to Lu Zhuxin.

“Those wolf demons didn’t do anything to you, did they?” Chi Xiyan said. “When I saw that torn dress earlier, I thought you…”

Lu Zhuxin picked up the question. “Sister thought what?”

“Thought you…” Chi Xiyan paused for a while before saying, “Thought you suffered some unpleasant things.”

“But now seeing you’re alright, I’m relieved.”

Lu Zhuxin slightly lowered her head. “Sister… what if I said that I really was as you thought, violated by those wolf demons…”

“What if I said that the current me…” Lu Zhuxin’s voice grew hoarse. “Is no longer a virgin?”

Chi Xiyan’s movements suddenly stopped.

Lu Zhuxin could feel the girl beside her, her breathing becoming chaotic.

After a moment, Chi Xiyan smiled. “Zhizhi, you’re teasing your sister, aren’t you?”

“This joke isn’t funny at all!”

Lu Zhuxin turned her head sideways, facing away from Chi Xiyan, and hooked the corner of her mouth.

“Sorry, Sister. Zhizhi’s joke went too far.”

Chi Xiyan slightly lowered her eyes. “For women of prestigious families, reputation is most important. Zhizhi, you can’t joke about a woman’s chastity again in the future.”

“It’s fine if you joke with me in private, but if someone hears it and spreads it around, it won’t only affect your reputation, it will also impact the Chi family’s name.”

“Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhuxin laughed inwardly.

Caring about Yu Lizhi this much, was it really just because she was afraid she’d affect the Chi family’s reputation?

Chi Xiyan, do you really care that much about the Chi family’s reputation?

Lu Zhuxin grumbled internally, but said aloud, “Alright, Sister. I won’t make jokes like that again.”

“Good that you know,” Chi Xiyan said while bandaging the wounds on Lu Zhuxin’s body.

She raised her hand and gently wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead.

“Xiyan, how’s your sister?” Wei Qingyu led people into the medical clinic.

Her gaze swept lightly and imperceptibly over Lu Zhuxin’s body.

In that gaze was some scrutiny and suspicion.

Lu Zhuxin understood in her heart.

This Demon Suppression Bureau inspector would indeed become suspicious of her safe return.

However, Lu Zhuxin wasn’t worried.

All of this was within her expectations.

“Inspector Wei,” Chi Xiyan put away the medicine box in her hands and said. “My sister is fine, just some superficial wounds.”

“I must thank Inspector Wei for your help with today’s matter.”

Wei Qingyu wore an amiable smile. “As long as little sister Zhizhi is alright.”

“Today’s matter was actually my fault.”

“If my plan hadn’t been inadequate, little sister Zhizhi wouldn’t have been drawn into danger.”

“I should be the one apologizing to little sister Zhizhi.”

Little sister Zhizhi?

Chi Xiyan’s brows furrowed slightly.

When had Wei Qingyu become so familiar with Yu Lizhi?

However, Chi Xiyan still said politely, “Inspector Wei is too kind. Capturing demons is the Demon Suppression Bureau’s duty. It’s just that Zhizhi had bad luck. You can’t be blamed for it, Inspector Wei.”

Lu Zhuxin had been paying attention to Chi Xiyan’s reaction the whole time.

She could sense the unnaturalness beneath Chi Xiyan’s politeness.

Lu Zhuxin laughed lightly in her heart, then said, “Thank you for your concern, Sister Wei.”

“Zhizhi doesn’t blame Sister Wei for today’s matter either.”
