Chapter 777: Shallow Fate and Little Fortune
The woman with the fox tail looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes.
The old lady trembled slightly and asked, "Cuiyun?"
"It's me, mother." Cuiyun shook off her tears.
"My child, what's wrong with you? Oh, my child!" The old lady was overwhelmed with grief. She clapped her hands on her thighs and cried out in sorrow, "Cuiyun!"
The middle-aged man followed the noise into the house, but was so frightened that he yelled, "Monster!"
He stepped back again and again, dragging his mother's hand as they walked out, saying, "Mom, that's a monster! That's a monster!"
The old lady had tears in her eyes, but she shouted, "Shut up!"
The man shook his head, looked at the old lady, and said, "Cuiyun is really a monster!"
The old lady looked at his miserable state and could only calm herself down. She turned around and pushed him out, saying, "Wait outside the door!"
"mother!"
The man knocked on the door twice, but didn't dare to knock again, for fear of angering Cuiyun and hurting the old lady.
The old lady saw Cuiyun still crying, but her heart calmed down. She walked over slowly and said, "My dear, why, why did you become a fox?"
Cuiyun looked at her husband outside the door, closed her eyes, and couldn't stop crying.
The old lady asked, "Cuiyun, what's wrong with you?"
Cuiyun stood up, holding onto the bed, and said, "Mother, I am a fox. Ten years ago, my father brought me through this place. As he was nearing death, he gave me to you as a child bride and entrusted me to you. Foxes cultivate themselves, and we face many tribulations. It was only by staying in your home that I was able to avoid many. Out of gratitude, I treat you like your own mother and help you start a family. I wanted to serve you until the end of my life, and give birth to a son or daughter for you, which would be a fulfillment of our love."
"I didn't expect that my cultivation had been different recently. My Qi was unstable, and I encountered a violent storm and thunder. I was struck by the thunder and my true form was revealed."
Cuiyun burst into tears and bowed before the old lady, saying, "Mother, Cuiyun's fate with you has ended. I'm afraid I can no longer serve you."
The old lady treated Cuiyun sincerely. She helped her up, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Good boy, good boy, I don't blame you, I don't blame you."
"Mother, Cuiyun is unlucky."
The crying sound inside the room made the man outside panic. He immediately knocked on the door and shouted, "Cuiyun! Cuiyun!"
"Don't hurt my mother, don't hurt my mother!"
Cuiyun looked outside the door, feeling completely disheartened.
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "He's a bad guy. If it weren't for you teaching him and helping him, he wouldn't be living the good life he has today. It's not that you're unlucky, it's us who are unlucky. We can't keep a good daughter-in-law like you."
"Go away, Cuiyun, go away!"
"Don't come back again."
The old lady cried and hugged her tightly, then let go, opened the back window, and said, "Cuiyun, let's go."
"Mother..." Cuiyun choked up and bowed, "Thank you so much for taking care of me over the years. Cuiyun is leaving now."
The old lady burst into tears as she watched the dignified and beautiful woman walk to the window. She then turned into a fox with blood on its body, jumped onto the windowsill, looked back at her, jumped out of the window, landed on the grass, and disappeared.
The rain had not stopped yet, and the bloodstains on the ground quickly melted away, making the old lady feel heartbroken and guilty.
The man was still knocking on the door, but the old lady had already wiped away her tears, opened the door, glared at her son fiercely, then looked at the servants present and said, "It was a lightning strike that caused the fire. The lady was unfortunately injured and died."
"Did you hear that?! If I hear anyone gossiping outside, I won't let him off!"
"Mom..." The man came to his senses and looked at the old lady. He knew he had done something wrong and felt extremely guilty.
"Come with me!" The old lady grabbed his ear and led him to the ancestral hall while he begged for mercy.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Lock the door of the madam's room and never open it again."
Gong Mengbi and Wu Gui watched this farce in the rain and sighed softly.
Mr. Huang said, "My Lord, I will go and invite that little fox lady."
"Go ahead."
Mr. Huang turned into a wisp of yellow smoke and disappeared behind Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi said, "Let's go too."
Several people left the house, and just as no one noticed their arrival, no one noticed their departure.
Gong Mengbi and the other four ghosts did not go too far, and Mr. Huang soon caught up with them, holding a fox wrapped in a yellow scarf in his hand.
"My lord, this little fox lady was injured by the thunder, and due to the great grief, her emotions were disturbed and she has fainted."
"Take her back. If you leave her alone, I'm afraid there will be two deaths."
"One corpse, two lives?"
"She herself didn't realize it. It wasn't because her cultivation was different and her Qi was unstable. It was because she was pregnant that she couldn't completely restrain her Qi, which was sensed by the rain worker and triggered the thunder."
"So that's how it is." Mr. Huang blew a breath to blow away the cold air in the rain and followed Gong Mengbi's pace.
As for Cuiyun's husband's family, they gave it no further thought. As the old lady had said, they were unlucky and couldn't keep this little fox lady. Their fate was over, no need to discuss it further.
When we arrived in Wu Ning, the rain had stopped.
The rainstorm came and went quickly, seemingly no different from usual.
Gong Mengbi did not return to Fox Courtyard first, but went to Ruyun Peak first.
The little foxes that had taken shelter from the rain in Chuyun Cave all came out. Shi Hua saw Gong Mengbi and bowed to him, saying, "Brother Gong is back."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I went to Xia Pi, it's not a big deal, I came back after I was done."
Although Shi Hua didn't go to the Fox Courtyard every day, she went there quite often. After the little foxes from Ruyun Peak had fully awakened, they could be sent to the Fox Courtyard for training. Hua Jiu Shi Cha and the others often hung out there, and the foxes all knew them.
Mr. Huang brought Cuiyun over.
Shi Hua was shocked when she saw this and asked, "Who is this? He seems to be seriously injured?"
Gong Mengbi said, "The little fox I met on the way back was struck by lightning and was seriously injured. She's also pregnant. I'm afraid the Fox Court isn't a good place to take her in, so I was wondering if I could ask you to take care of her."
Shi Hua looked at Cuiyun carefully, nodded, and said, "I haven't taken care of pregnant women, but I have taken care of many little foxes."
Shi Hua led Mr. Huang to settle Cuiyun in the fox cave on Ruyun Peak. After Cuiyun was settled, Gong Mengbi asked Shi Hua for help and stuffed the Leijing Pill into Cuiyun's stomach.
The slowly released thunder essence is different from the violent heavenly thunder. It is the energy of creation that is born from the combination of yin and yang and conforms to thunder. It is not common and contains great vitality.
Cuiyun was injured by lightning, but this pill alone can heal her injuries, and she will not suffer any loss even if she becomes pregnant and gives birth.
"Don't worry, Brother Gong. I'll take care of her, and she'll be fine. When she wakes up, I'll take her to visit you at Fox Court."
