Chapter 412: Too Obedient
…
Yun Qi thought back to half a year ago.
The leader of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Yun Shu, came to him with a marriage certificate and asked him to go to the Red Fox Clan to marry on behalf of the young master.
As long as Yun Qi agrees to the marriage, the clan leader will set him free and return the soul lamp to him.
The ancestral halls of each tribe are decorated with the soul lamps of every blood relative. The soul lamps are made up of the owner's essence, blood, and a wisp of his soul.
The existence of the soul lamp is, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of the tribe members. Once a tribe member is threatened and on the verge of death outside, the tribe leader or the current head of the family can check the changes in the soul lamp at the first time and bring the person back through the soul lamp.
If a member of the tribe dies, the soul lamp will go out.
On the other hand, the soul lamp is also an irresistible shackle. As long as your soul lamp is in the hands of others, you must obey the orders of others, otherwise you will suffer damage to your soul.
If Yun Qi takes the soul lamp back, he can completely sever ties with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, no longer be under their orders, and regain his freedom.
But he was not willing to gamble with his marriage. No matter how the clan leader persuaded him kindly or used threats or inducements, he was extremely resistant. Until he heard that the noblewoman he was going to marry was the little princess of the Red Fox Clan, he agreed to marry on her behalf.
From that day on, the young master who had been taken back by the clan leader some time ago was no longer depressed all day long. He seemed like a different person. A smile appeared on his face for the first time. He took the initiative to learn the red tape and treated people gently and politely. He was no worse than the eldest son. No one laughed at him in secret as a crude and wild fox from the country anymore.
The night before the happy return trip to the Red Fox Clan, the young master dressed up carefully and could not sleep the whole night.
Yun Qi looked at the young man in the mirror. He was wearing a dark blue long gown with wide sleeves and a straight skirt. His soft black hair hung down on the side of his face. He had a high nose bridge, deep eyebrows and eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, casting a faint shadow in the swaying candlelight.
He raised his hand to touch his face, his stunning appearance was no different from his brother's, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Will she like me?"
The room was empty and no one answered him.
The young man thought of something happy, and a faint warmth appeared on his handsome face.
"I don't know if she still remembers what happened back then..."
Yun Qi is the illegitimate son of the clan leader Yun Shu and a female beast of unknown origin. After the child was born, it was discovered that one of the children was a black fox.
The black nine-tailed fox symbolizes an ominous existence in the tribe. There is even a legend that it is a cursed beast that will bring disaster to the fox tribe.
When the evil beast was born, it should have been burned to death. Perhaps the clan leader still had some pity for Yun Qi, so he abandoned it in a remote village and gave some animal crystals to several farmers to raise it.
Yun Qi has never seen his biological mother since he became conscious.
I heard that after she gave birth to a child, her identity as an evil fox was exposed, so the tribe leader had to kill her to vent the anger of the people. Later, the tribe leader married a noblewoman from the same tribe and finally covered up the matter.
The clan leader's wife is a ruthless character who can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She knows about Yun Qi's existence and has sent assassins several times to make this annoying child disappear from her sight.
Yun Qi was just a child back then, and no matter how lucky he was, he had only escaped death a few times. He was unable to compete with the clan leader's wife's power, and finally decided to flee Qingqiu, the farther the better.
On the way, he was still chased endlessly.
It happened that a beast tide broke out in the forest at that time. The orcs chasing him were either killed or fled. Yun Qi disguised himself as an ordinary fox cub. No one noticed him in the chaos, and he escaped under the cover of night.
But he was also seriously injured. If he did not receive timely treatment, death would be the only way waiting for him.
As its breath grew weaker and weaker, it came across a young female of similar age in despair.
She saved it.
Yun Qi had never been able to forget her eyes, shining like stars in the night sky, and her gentle gaze, which soothed his pain better than the most powerful medicine in the world...
Later, someone came looking for him. Yun Qi was afraid that they were out to kill him, so he ran away.
Of course, it didn't run too far. It hid behind a tree and heard the group of orcs calling the girl a princess.
It turned out that those people were looking for her. She was the little princess of the Red Fox tribe.
Over the years.
He had always been looking forward to seeing her again.
The little princess has grown up. I wonder what she looks like now. He really wants to see her soon.
Later, Yun Qi finally got to see the princess of the Red Fox Tribe. Back then, her face was injured and her body was dirty, but her features were still exquisitely beautiful. Now, she was wearing a bright red dress, and her open face looked even more gorgeous and charming, a sight to behold.
His eyes were defiant and his temper and indifference made him feel a little unfamiliar.
After so many years, everyone changes.
What Yun Qi hadn't expected was that on their engagement night, the princess called him to a deserted corner. While Yun Qi didn't feel much pain when the whip lashed him, his heart ached unbearably.
"A lowly bastard! An ugly black fox! Even looking at him makes me feel unlucky. How dare those guys send such an ugly thing to me for marriage? It's simply an insult to me!"
She was extremely angry, and the whip fell again and again. Yun Qi forgot to resist and let her beat him all over.
Like...
Something else is slowly breaking apart...
But tonight, when Yun Qi heard what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, the memory of their first meeting came to his mind again.
Is His Highness back again?
He hummed softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Go to sleep."
The princess hadn't been dressing up much lately, and she no longer had that overly heavy, cloying scent of powder. The two of them slept in the same bed, each occupying a different side, not too close, with two sheets of quilt between them. Yun Qi could smell a delicate fragrance wafting from her, a bit like the scent of lily of the valley, which made him feel very reassured... very comfortable...
Yun Qi's breathing slowly became shallow and smooth.
Sang Luo turned her head and called out softly, "Yun Qi?"
The boy didn't respond.
Fell asleep.
This was the most peaceful night of sleep Yun Qi had had in all these years.
…
In the princess's mansion, this night was not peaceful.
Everyone knew that the princess had stayed in Yun Qishijun's room last night, and some people even saw them leaving the bedroom together in the morning, their faces full of amorous feelings and their deep love for each other.
The delicacies served from the kitchen made Kong drool. There were dozens of dishes for breakfast, which was a treatment that the master and servant had never enjoyed before.
Being favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess is a treatment that is like heaven and earth!
Sang Luo looked at the young man across the table.
She sits bent over quietly, her profile as white as jade, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow, her temperament as clean and pure as ice and snow.
I can’t be more obedient…
"Open your mouth."
