Chapter 24: Avenging the Mother
It has followed its enemies for more than 100 years.
How many ups and downs it has experienced in the past 100 years, how many lessons it has learned, the strange thing is that it has not remembered, it always feels that it is still the same as a hundred years ago, it is still a child, and when it is happy, it can roll in the mother's arms at any time, it is precisely because of the company of this mother in memory, so all the hardships and pains are nothing, and the passage of time is nothing.
But its enemies would not give it any chance because of the experience it had gained over the years, a nephew whose mind was far greater than its ability, who was no match for it in strength or intelligence, and who thought it would have to wait longer for revenge.
But when Yan'er appeared in the sight of the little nine-tailed fox, it was surprised to find a vermilion bird living in the human realm. Its extreme horror for Suzaku quickly turned into a longing, a longing for Suzaku to have great power. In Suzaku's eyes, there is not much difference between a nephew and a meal that has already been put on the table.
It deliberately approached Yan'er at the risk of being eaten, and its judgment was correct, the powerful and domineering Yan'er was actually a simple child, and it needed friends very much, so it easily became Yan'er's inseparable close friend.
When it senses that the time is ripe and is about to ask Yan'er for help, the golden firefly appears.
"Yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago, although I don't have any relatives, but Yan'er does, and it has a golden firefly who cares for it like a father and a brother. Just as all parents in the world do not want to see their children being taken advantage of, my good mother will certainly be as opposed as a cranberry moss at such a moment. So you still have to solve your own business. It looked at the hideous-looking nephew and thought, "Whatever it is, learn to face it yourself!"
It was covered in blood, and its movements became more and more sluggish, but the coldness in its eyes did not seem to abate, and the nephew met its hateful gaze, and every blow was heavy and ruthless, and the move was to kill it, because it was anxious to finish off this opponent who could not be shaken off.
When Yan'er arrived, he saw this tragic scene.
The nephew raised his paws, and was about to give it the final blow, but the little fox glared at it with hatred in his eyes, and said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and the flame swooped down like an arrow, and knocked the nephew to the side hard, and shouted at the little fox in fear.
"You're alright, I'm here to save you!" Flame screamed as she struck hard with her wings, and the nephew was slapped over again.
The nephew quickly got up from the ground, looked at Yan'er, and then looked at Jin Ying and Ji Ao behind it, and shouted angrily: "Han Qi, you said that if I leave in two days, I won't be hurt!"
"Did I say that? I don't remember, anyway, what I say doesn't always count!Besides, I didn't hurt you, I just stood here and watched you being hurt by Yan'er, does that count?" Ji Ao shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows in denial.
"You!" the nephew was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he didn't have time to reason with him, so he hurriedly rolled on the spot, dodged another attack from Yan'er, and turned to flee. The fox was lying on the ground dying, Yan'er, Ji Ao, and Jin Ying didn't have the heart to chase it, and everyone hurriedly ran over to check the little fox's injuries.
"Don't ...... Let it run! Stop it......" The little fox, which was already struggling to breathe, suddenly jumped up from the ground, rushed desperately at the nephew, and bit its ankle. As soon as he raised his foot, he kicked it out more than ten meters hard, and struggled to escape.
The little fox gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and shouted: "I won't let you escape! I want you to pay for my mother's life!"
"I'll help you! I'll eat it for you!" Flame flew over to help.
"Don't meddle and let it finish on its own. Ji Ao grabbed Jin Hotaru, who also wanted to rush over to help, shook his head, and stopped him.
Although the nephew's mana is not weak, it can't compete with Yan'er at all, and soon it was out of breath, its movements slowed down, and it couldn't help shouting: "Suzaku, you and I don't know each other, there is no injustice or hatred, why do you want to interfere in my grudge with the nine-tailed fox? It is just using you to deal with me, don't fall into its trap!"
"Hmph, just because it's my friend!I'm just going to help it! I'm going to intervene, I'm going to eat you!!, what can you do to me?!" Xiao Yan'er announced proudly and domineeringly.
"Yan'er......" Jin Hotaru lowered her head in shame, and had to stop the wayward Yan'er.
"No, you shouldn't stop me, it's my friend. I knew it was lying to me from the beginning, I still don't get mad at it, I still want to play with it, and now my friend is in trouble, I must go and help it. Yan'er had no hesitation, and with the courage to stick a knife in his friend's ribs, Ji Ao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but applaud.
Yan'er is right, a friend depends not only on the behavior of the other person, but also on one's own opinion and attitude towards the friend, whether you are willing to do your best for the other person, and not for a certain purpose.
"I apologize to you, Yan'er, I shouldn't interfere with your freedom to make friends, I'm willing to go with you to find it, now invite your friends to our house. "That's why Jin Hotaru came with Yan'er.
Ji Ao was completely for fun, there was no doubt about it, but they saw the life-and-death struggle between the little nine-tailed fox and the nephew.
Yan'er's addition reversed the tide of the battle, Jin Ying and Ji Ao watched the battle on the side, still stomping their feet in a hurry, because the little nine-tailed fox's injuries were too serious, and even if there was any small mistake in the battle, it would be fatal to it, but it refused to let go and insisted on fighting alone with the enemy.
The little fox screamed sharply, rushed to Yan'er and shouted at it: "Don't kill it, I will avenge my mother with my own hands!"
Yan'er not only has to attack the nephew, but also to protect the little fox, but also pay attention to controlling the intensity of the attack, to avoid accidentally shooting the nephew to death, the little fox makes such a fuss, so that it feels uncomfortable to be restrained.
Yan'er was so irritable that she panicked, but she couldn't care so much, she finally couldn't help screaming, picked up the little fox with her paws and flew up, waved her wings, and slapped it at the nephew, and a scorching flame immediately swept over, and the nephew immediately fell to the ground, and her whole body was charred and blackened, and she struggled for a while, and finally she was unable to move, and burned into a roast meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Well, I didn't grasp it for a while...... Alright, alright, you can kill it, remember to save the meat for me to eat when you are done!" Yan'er put the little fox on the ground, said apologetically, and after saying that, it looked around triumphantly, thinking that it was really powerful.
The little nine-tailed fox pounced on the nephew, and it finally waited for the moment of the bloody enemy.
Unexpectedly, when it approached him, the nephew who looked dead suddenly howled and jumped up, biting the neck of the little fox, and the nephew knew that because this little fox would not escape death after all, it would drag it to die with him.
Yan'er screamed, and kicked down on the nephew's head with one claw, and the nephew's head immediately split apart, and even the teeth were kicked out, and the little nine-tailed fox screamed, crying madly, and threw itself on the nephew's body for a while, until it bit its corpse into countless pieces.
The little fox lay on the ground and cried, finally letting go of the deep hatred that had been pressed on its chest for a hundred years, its eyes were confused, and it murmured: "Mother, grandmother...... Mom...... Woohoo......"
Then it fell feebly on the flesh of its enemies and closed its eyes.
"Hey, don't you die...... Yan'er cried out in panic, "Shadow, Ji Ao, save it!"
The little fox's injuries were too serious, and Ji Ao and Jin Ying couldn't save it despite their best efforts.
On the fifth day, the little fox's breathing became weaker and weaker, and its body temperature became lower and lower. Ji Ao and Jin Ying frowned and sighed, neither of them spoke, they both knew in their hearts that they had done everything they could, and now they could only wait helplessly for that moment to come.
