Chapter 1274 “Celestial Fox (4)”

But right before the killing blow could be made against Bai Yan who was already at her last leg in that critical moment, a snowy white figure suddenly dashes in and deflects the sword. Even so, the attack of a High Divine wasn’t to be trifled with. Instantly, the poor fox got knocked backwards and crashed into the nearest cluster of bushes.

……

Bai Yan got stiff as a rock once she realizes what just transpired. There’s an indescribable sensation brewing within her heart and she didn’t know what it was.

Truth be told, the main reason she helped save the celestial fox in the beginning wasn’t really out of concern for the poor creature, it’s for the sake of her own son. The blood she collected was at most a single vial’s worth, what if he needed more in order to recover?

However…..

She honestly didn’t think that the celestial fox would take such a ferocious blow for herself in the final moment!

Its body is so frail and thin, how can it bear the blow?

Staggering over to the near lifeless fox, she reaches down with her trembling hands and held the poor thing up to her face. As much as she wanted to hold back the emotions, the tears just won’t stop and trickled down the lady’s cheek to showcase her sorrow for the situation.

“Why?”

Even though the celestial fox didn’t have any malice or ill intent from when they first met, the fact remains the little thing attacked her. So what’s going on here? All she did was protect the fox one time and it’s going this far and would even go as far as to throw her life away?

Who said demonic beasts are heartless and cruel? They are more affectionate than humankind!

Perhaps the celestial fox was able to sense the aching emotions in the lady, but the poor thing actually began to lick Bai Yan’s hand as if to comfort her.

Not wanting to know what would happen if she’s slow now, the woman swiftly pulls out another bottle of healing tonic – a much higher grade of medicine – to pour onto the fox’s wound. Then as if worried that’s not enough, she brings out another pill to feed it.

Naturally the little thing didn’t reject the offering and ate it without a thought. Just that instead of wariness, the fox’s tail was wagging left and right like an animal that’s being petted.

……

Bang!

Countless attacks rained down from the rear yet again. In her urgency, Bai Yan’s only recourse was to use her own body as a shield for the celestial fox against those aggressive strikes. Due to this, she got blown away yet again, and this time the blood from her mouth was even worse than the last as it splattered along the snow-covered ground.

“Mother!”

In the moment where she landed, a childish cry of fear came from the back, thus causing the poor woman to go rigidly stiff. Looking up, she could see it was her own son running over.

“Xiachen, did I not tell you to leave with your siblings?” Bai Yan cries out with her face going pale.

Already coming before his mother, the little steambun was firm and strong right now. “Don’t worry Mother, I’ve already hidden my brother and sister somewhere, they won’t be in danger.”

“You…” gasping at her son’s reddish eye still being there, “didn’t you take the vial of blood I gave you? it must be fresh for it to be effective, otherwise it will lose its use.”

The boy didn’t give a direct answer, only twisting his head to one side to show that brilliant smile that he always does: “Mother, if one day I can’t be with you anymore…. Will you miss me?”

A shudder ran through the poor mother’s heart, pulling her mood to the bottom. “Don’t talk nonsense Xiachen! You will never leave me!”
