Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (79)

Bai Yi stared at his livid face and felt as if blood was dripping from her heart. This was the benefactor she felt extremely grateful for, the man she has loved deeply, and the person she was willing to give her blessings even when she was sad. Why did he commit such a thing against her? That Daoist master’s magic weapon was no ordinary item and she was hurt terribly when she was hit. However, what was hurting most now was not her injury, but her heart.

Bai Yi looked at Zhuang Yulang steadily. After a long time, she shook her head and slowly retreated. “I was wrong. From the very start, I should have listened to my elder sister and stayed away from you.” She smiled weakly and continued, “I treated you well because you saved me. I wanted to marry you only because I really loved you. I want to treat you nicely for all eternity and fulfill all your wishes. Now it seems that I’ve been deluding myself. The Snow Lotus Pill and this period of care are my rewards for your kindness. Since you found someone to hurt me today, we are even.”

Bai Yi’s eyes were moist and she said with difficulty, “Zhuang Yulang, from now on, between you and me… be it grace or friendship, it’s over.”

Bai Yi’s figure gradually blurred, and then disappeared into the room like a puff of smoke. The two little foxes in the room immediately jumped out of the window, and before leaving, they turned their heads and glanced at Zhuang Yulang. Their disdainful look was brimming with contempt for him.

Looking at this scene, Zhuang Yulang suddenly felt that he had made a mistake, as if he had lost a very important person. His heart felt empty. However, he was truly terrified. She was a demon. Who knew if she would eat him one day in a moment of displeasure? It was too terrifying.

He fell limply on the ground and gasped for breath, recalling what Bai Yi had said. He was sure that Bai Yi wanted to cut off whatever relationship they had and go her own way. She had no intention of retaliating against him. His tense nerves loosened and he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought back on Bai Yi’s words, that he saved her. After thinking about it, only the two foxes he saved in the mountains were most likely. He just had a whim that day and he didn’t expect that he had provoked a fox demon. He didn’t know whether this was good or bad.

However, that fox demon was now gone. He has also passed the exam and became the Tanhua. Furthermore, Miss Jiang wanted to marry him, so it should be a good thing, right? That fox demon has returned his favor, which was a good thing. As long as she did not approach him again in the future, he would be able to live a good life in peace and quiet.

Bai Yi kept flying over roofs and quickly left the capital to find Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang opened the door and saw her tearful face.

“What’s wrong?”

Bai Yi threw herself into Chu Xiang’s arms and finally cried out, “It hurts too much… Sister, what those Seniors said is true. No injury can compare to the pain in my heart.”

Chu Xiang patted her on the back knowingly, and led her into the house.

“No matter how painful an injury is, it can be healed. So what if it hurts?” Chu Xiang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. “There will always be someone who will make you laugh, make you angry, make you prostrate with grief and make you reluctant to hurt. However, in the end, everything will pass. All injuries will heal. There is nothing to be afraid of. There are loads of things that can make us happy.”

“Really? Can it really get better? I feel… I’m out of control. I can’t control this unbearable pain…”

Chu Xiang held her hand and said with convincing magic in her voice, “Believe me, let it hurt. You will be fine sooner or later.”

Bai Yi finally stabilized herself by Chu Xiang’s side. When she was no longer overwhelmed by the pain, she looked at Chu Xiang with tears in her eyes and asked, “Will you feel it too? Will you also meet someone who will make you sad? Will you hurt too?”

Before Chu Xiang could answer, she shook her head and smiled wryly, “You won’t. You have Li Yufeng. He treats you well, wishing to bring you the best of everything in the world, so you won’t be in pain.”

Of course, Chu Xiang would feel hurt too. Everyone would go through the first awakening of love, would have sad and painful moments. She just forgot them as they were too long ago, too long for her to remember any of it. Regardly, she knew that she was in pain like Bai Yi at the beginning. There was no doubt it hurt when she put her heart and soul into it, and that was why she now loved herself the most. This was how she could wander about with ease. The world was vast. If you didn’t love yourself enough, how can you have enough energy to enjoy the beauty of it? If everyone loved themselves enough, it would be much easier to be happy and get along with people you were compatible with.

Chu Xiang caressed Bai Yi’s head, smiled and said, “Maybe I have experienced it in my previous life, so I will choose someone in this life. Be good. Cry if you want to. Remember, heal your wounds when you have cried enough. There are too many people and things in the world that you haven’t seen and are waiting for you. This little hurt is no big deal. Don’t you want to see the world to your heart’s content?”

“I do.” Bai Yi obeyed Chu Xiang’s words and mulled over it. There were indeed countless things in this world that she has never seen before, and she really wanted to see them. It seemed that being sad for Zhuang Yulang was not a difficult hurdle to overcome.

She found that Chu Xiang always has the ability to downplay painful matters, as if there was nothing in this world that could cause a change in her expression or hurt her heart. It might be for this reason that Chu Xiang always enjoyed life to the fullest and always cheered up easily.

Bai Yi held Chu Xiang’s hand tightly, as if she could draw strength from her. She gradually calmed down and said to Chu Xiang seriously, “I will definitely heal my wounds and definitely become as powerful as you, Sister.”

Chu Xiang gently smiled at her. When a little girl grows up, breaking the cocoon and turning into a butterfly would always be a painful experience. Fortunately, Zhuang Yulang not only gave her pain, but also saved her and prompted her growth in the process. She has adapted to mortal life, liked to do good deeds to save people, learned to open shops for disaster relief efforts, and also learned a good deal of truth.

In fact, it was Bai Yi who profited. What were those injuries and losses compared to these?
