Chapter 109 Chapter 109 (Part 2)
When Liv first talked to her mother about her background, she only mentioned Nota's father.
Later, she sneaked into the palace and wanted to see her father. The cub's thoughts were always simple, because she had been without parents since she was a child. After suddenly knowing who her father was, she could not help but feel curious, and also had a hint of secret joy and expectation.
She wanted to know if her father was like those parents who picked up their cubs from school. Maybe... she could be like those carefree cubs in school.
But later she saw him as she wished, but he helped Liv to bully her.
Nota didn't know whether the other party simply didn't know her identity, or whether he knew it but hated a child like her with impure blood and was unwilling to acknowledge her.
Anyway, she lost hope for her parents after that. After she recovered from her injury, she never went to the cub school again.
She hesitated for a long time until she saw Liv again. Although she didn't have high expectations, she still wanted to ask about her mother's situation.
——Since Liv knows her identity, she may also know who her mother is.
"Who is my mother?"
The fiery red fox tail behind it swayed gently, and a halo of light like water waves spread out.
Liv subconsciously wanted to sneer and sneer, thinking of saying, "The mother of a bastard is naturally a bastard too. How would I know which lowly woman gave birth to you?" But when she opened her mouth, the words that came out were out of her control: "It was a maid in the palace."
The maid was not an ordinary maid. She had been taking care of the Fox King since he was a teenager. Her status was not low among the maids in the palace, and the Fox King liked her, but she was an eight-tailed red fox of low descent. So even if the Fox King liked her, it was useless. She didn't even have the qualifications to give birth to a Fox King heir.
Later, the Fox King and the Fox Queen got married. To show their sincerity, they dismissed all the women who served them, including the eight-tailed red fox.
No one thought at the time that she was pregnant and gave birth to the child without telling anyone.
The child inherited all of her mother's genes and was born as a lowly red fox, with only the tips of her ears, chest and tail being white, revealing that she had some of the genes of the noble white fox.
And she has nine fox tails.
The reason why the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is called the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is because every member of the clan has nine tails. Among them, the nine-tailed fox with pure white fur and no mixed colors is the most respected. Those with impure fur are second, and those with mixed colors are the lowest. The rest of the clan members with impure fur or even without nine tails are generally called half-bloods and are regarded as the most despicable people.
After the maid gave birth, she asked someone to send the child to the palace.
The royal bloodline could not be lost outside, and the number of newborn nine-tailed foxes in the clan was becoming increasingly scarce. The Fox King finally chose to keep the child, but when he ordered the doctor to examine the child, he discovered that the so-called nine tails were fake.
This child was born with ten tails. In order to make the Fox King keep her, her mother cut off one of her tails and passed her off as a nine-tailed fox in an attempt to conceal the truth.
But the almost healed wound still gave the doctor a clue.
The other party's conspiracy was exposed, and the Fox King was furious and ordered his men to send the child back.
"And then? Where is she?"
Nota didn't expect to hear such a past story. His emotions were surging. His silver eyes stared at her closely, and the fox tail behind him swayed faster.
At this time, Liv finally realized what she had done to herself. She mobilized the power in her body and tried to fight against Nota, with anger and malice on her face: "You want to know? I won't tell you!"
"Where is she?" His fingers clasped the metal fence tightly, and the sharp claws on his slender fingertips popped out uncontrollably. Nota's eyes flashed with silver light, and even his voice became ethereal: "Tell me where she is?"
Liv's resistance gradually weakened, and she spoke again obediently: "She died. She died of dystocia."
Life is never easy for mixed-bloods. The woman was a maid who was dismissed from the palace and was pregnant, so life was naturally even harder. When the Fox King sent the child back, he learned that she had died. She had a difficult birth and struggled for two days before she finally died.
But the royal family would never allow lowly mixed-race people to pollute their bloodline, let alone allow such a scandal to be exposed, so the newborn child was thrown into that dilapidated house.
No one knows how she survived.
Liv once heard her mother use this incident to ridicule her father, telling him to stop fooling around outside, otherwise he would produce another bastard with ten tails, which would be embarrassing for everyone.
Later, she saw a stray ten-tailed red fox outside the school, and based on her mother's words, she immediately recognized it.
"Dead?"
Nota lowered his eyes, dazed.
The cubs standing nearby finally couldn't stand it anymore, left the shadows where they were hiding, and walked over to her.
Ruan Yuebai rubbed her head, silently comforting her; Ruan Jiao tiptoed over to her and hugged her tightly, with the whiskers on his forehead wagging anxiously; even Rong Heng stretched his neck and went over to rub her face.
Although she already looks like a young girl, she is still a fragile kid at heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought for a moment and slowly typed: [Your mother loves you very much.]
He had also heard about how bad the living conditions of the mixed-bloods were on the planet Tutar. One could imagine the situation of a maid who was driven out of the palace and was pregnant. But she eventually chose to give birth to the child.
He personally cut off one of her tails and sent her to the palace.
She knew the importance the royal family placed on bloodlines, and she also knew that she would soon die and would not be able to take care of a newborn cub, so she took a gamble and tried to conceal the truth.
It's a pity that fate was not too kind to her.
Nota raised his head with his eyes downcast and looked at him, and the fox tail behind him swayed slightly.
In fact, among her ten tails, the middle one is smaller than the others. As she grew older, the difference has become so small that it is no longer noticeable, but it is indeed evidence that her mother tried her best to protect her.
She pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Yeah."
But Herri beside her did not use words to comfort her. He smashed the electronic lock of the prison in a few moves, and then dragged Liv out without any resistance: "What's there to be unhappy about? Give her a lesson yourself, and she will be happy. If she is still unhappy..." He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Next time we will go to Tutar Star and beat up that Fox King!"
Liv had never been treated so roughly before, and she struggled desperately and screamed.
But Herri's hand grabbed the back of her collar like an iron clamp, and the absolute force made it impossible for her to break free.
Nota looked down at her, recalling the humiliation and shame she suffered when she was bullied as a child. She had fled the palace and hid in a filthy garbage dump, licking her wounds while thinking viciously that when she grew up, she would definitely make Liv experience the same shame she suffered.
But she never grew up, and moved around everywhere, still a weak cub who was bullied by others.
Fortunately, she met her father later.
She narrowed her eyes, looked down at Liv, and said in the same tone as before: "Let's play a game. If you can escape, we will let you go. If you can't escape, then..."
Deliberately not finishing what he was about to say, Nota took out his blaster and aimed it at Liv's forehead: "You have three minutes to escape."
The same was true of Liv when she was little. She raised her chin proudly, surrounded by a group of guards, raised her exquisite hands and said to her, "I'll give you three minutes to hide. My arrows will turn you into a hedgehog later."
Liv looked at her in horror: "You can't do this to me, I'm a princess!"
Nota had already started the countdown, his voice not wavering.
Perhaps frightened by her cold eyes, Liv stumbled to her feet and rushed out in fear.
Under the threat of death, she finally abandoned her identity as a princess, took off her high heels, and ran barefoot as far as she could away from Nota and his group.
"Let us help you block the people!" Herli's eyes rolled, all of them were bad ideas.
He called out to Ruan Yuebai and a few others, asked Noah for a diagram of the Public Security Bureau building, and then split up into several groups to block the enemy.
After the countdown ended, Nota slowly chased after Liv with the blaster.
The Sheriff's Bureau's temporary prison is quite large, occupying two floors of the basement of the annex building.
The prison has a complete monitoring and alarm system, as well as countless robots patrolling. But at this moment, with the help of Noah, all of these have temporarily come to a standstill.
The whole building was permeably quiet, with only one bleak light at a great distance.
Liv stumbled and ran in it, frantically looking for an exit.
In such an environment, her fear was infinitely magnified, but she didn't even dare to run too loudly. She could only cover her mouth tightly and run forward.
She was running around in the prison like a headless fly. There were not many prisoners in this temporary detention facility. Occasionally, a prisoner would be startled by the noise and, upon seeing the escaping figure, would immediately hide in the gap between the bars with an expression that showed interest in watching the excitement.
Liv recalled the route she took when she was imprisoned and ran up the stairs.
However, just when she thought she was about to run out, a grinning voice suddenly appeared above her head. Herri spread his bat wings and floated in the air, holding a ball of fire in his dragon claws: "You can't pass through here."
The flame was much larger than the flame spewed by the little dragon at that time, and it was powerful enough to burn her to ashes.
Liv gave a brief scream of surprise, stumbled back, and turned to run in the other direction.
This prison is square, with stairs on all four sides.
Then every time Liv was full of hope and thought she could finally escape, she would be told at the end that "this road is blocked".
He Li throwing fireballs, Ruan Yuebai controlling countless ice cones, Ruan Jiao transforming into a huge Zerg phantom... No matter which one, Liv was terrified.
Liv no longer had any of her previous arrogant look. Her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was disheveled, and the fluffy and soft veil outside her exquisite puffy skirt had been torn into rags and hung down limply.
The three stairs leading up were blocked. Liv had no hope but had to drag her feet to run to the last staircase.
As expected, Nota was waiting there.
Nota was nearly 1.75 meters tall, and her black leather jacket and dazzling red hair made her look even more hostile. Liv stood at the bottom of the stairs, her body trembling, her teeth trembling with fear.
The hand hanging at her side slowly raised up, and Nota looked at her coldly: "You couldn't escape."
The black muzzle of the blaster was pointed at her forehead again.
Liv suddenly collapsed. She screamed, squatted down with her head in her hands, and begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I was wrong, I apologize..."
She shrank back in fear, repeating "I'm sorry" over and over again.
Nota looked at her coldly and pulled the trigger.
The gunshot echoed in the silent prison. Liv's body trembled and she fainted from intense fear.
"You're so timid." Harry came over and curled his lips when he saw Liv fainting.
Nota's bullet was still half a meter away from her.
Seeing such a weak opponent, the shadow that had shrouded Nota's heart in the past slowly dissipated. Nota put away his gun, smiled with relief, and said to the cubs: "Let's go back, otherwise it will be bad if we are discovered by Dad."
So the kids left the police station in a mighty procession and prepared to return home.
