Chapter 14: The Demon Fox Ahri
Since knowing that her father had been poisoned in a duel, Fiona has practiced swordsmanship even harder since returning to the Red Maple Forest. Not only is he strict with himself, but he is also much more serious than before when fighting against Ye Feng.
Even if Ye Feng made her look water, Fiona would turn a blind eye and better master her own kendo while accompanying Ye Feng to the sword.
She gradually began to close herself off and became more and more addicted to kendo. In order to comprehend the sword intent faster, she gave up the time to go to the town with Ye Feng to relax, and practiced swordsmanship hard alone.
Year after year, Fiona spent most of her three years in the process of diligent swordsmanship, and in the blink of an eye, the day when Ye Feng was about to leave the Red Maple Forest.
Being too immersed in kendo, Fiona didn't realize that Ye Feng was leaving today. She got up early to practice kendo as usual, while Ye Feng was uncharacteristically waiting early in Fiona's usual sword practice today.
Fiona was startled at first when she saw Ye Feng waiting, and then said, "Why are you so early today?"
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It seems that you have forgotten what day it is."
Frowning slightly, Fiona thought about it for a moment, but still couldn't figure out what day it was.
I couldn't figure out if Ye Feng was making trouble, so Fiona simply didn't think about it anymore. She raised the long sword in her hand and said lightly: "Since you get up so early, you can practice with me for a while."
Seeing that Fiona was about to make a move, Ye Feng had to stand up, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "Stop, stop...... I'm leaving the Red Maple Forest today! ”
As soon as these words came out, Fiona put away her long sword and frowned, "Why?"
"I don't want to leave either, but my sister insists that I go to Ionia." Ye Feng looked helpless, he really wanted to stay, but his sister asked him to leave. Knowing that this would be the result, Ye Feng didn't sneak out to play in the first place.
Hearing this, Fiona remembered that three years ago, she went out with Ye Feng to play secretly and was caught by Ruiwen's sister, and Ye Feng, who was talking back, was punished by his sister for three years and left the Red Maple Forest.
However, this matter is so old, and Rui Wen loves Ye Feng so much, she shouldn't really bother with Ye Feng. Thinking of this, Fiona said her guess: "Maybe Sister Ruiwen has forgotten about it, and you don't have to take this matter too seriously."
When Ye Feng heard it, it seemed that this was really the case, his sister hadn't mentioned the punishment for leaving in the past three years.
Before he could be happy, Ye Feng was poured cold water on a sentence: "Who said it, I remember it clearly."
Ye Feng, the owner of this voice, knew that it was his sister Rui Wen as soon as he heard it. The last life-saving straw was also snuffed out by Ruiwen, and Ye Feng drooped his head, listless.
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, Rui Wen, whose appearance had not changed for nineteen years, slowly walked towards the two.
After seeing Ye Feng and Fiona, Rui Wen smiled and said, "It just so happens that both of you are here, let's talk about Xiao Feng's trip to Ionia."
Listening to Rui Wen's words, it seems that she is determined to drive Ye Feng away. Fiona still didn't want to part with Ye Feng, she interceded for Ye Feng: "Sister Ruiwen, Ye Feng is your younger brother, you better let him stay, he hasn't sneaked out once in the past three years, he already knows that he is wrong."
Rui Wen shook her head and said: "It's not that I want to drive Xiaofeng away, but Xiaofeng is already nineteen years old, and he should be independent, let him go to Ionia this time, which can be regarded as a kind of experience for him, and I also have something to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a year and a half, so I plan to let Xiaofeng leave."
Unexpectedly, Rui Wen also had to leave, Fiona couldn't help but think about her path after the two left. Is it back to the family or with Ye Feng?
Ye Feng still wanted to make a final struggle, he struggled: "Sister, what are you going to do?" Brother will go with you, and then we will go to Ionia together! ”
Rui Wen said this through Ye Feng, and her heart moved. But when she thought of the danger of what she was going to do, Rui Wen still suppressed her impulsive thoughts. She said resolutely: "Sister, this matter is very dangerous, you are too weak now, you will only drag me back, you still honestly go to Ionia and wait for me."
Listening to Rui Wen's unquestioning tone, Ye Feng reluctantly said "oh". Although he yearns for the outside world, it is far less tempting than being with his sister. Ye Feng is such a little kid who is particularly dependent on Rui Wen, and his mind is far from mature.
Rui Wen saw that Ye Feng was no longer entangled in this issue, so she turned her gaze to Fiona: "I'll leave in a while, what about you, Fiona?"
Fiona frowned, "um" for a long time before she said, "I want to go back to the Laurent family now, as for whether I want to accompany Ye Feng to Ionia...... Let me think about it......" Speaking of the back, Fiona's eyes couldn't help but glance at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng scratched his head frantically, so he really wanted to go to Ionia alone?
Looking at Ye Feng's frantic expression, Rui Wen smiled slightly: "Xiaofeng, when are you going to leave?"
Ye Feng frowned, and at the thought of leaving, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to give up on this red maple forest that he had lived in for nineteen years. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to stay here for a morning before leaving.
After thinking about it, Ye Feng said truthfully: "I still decided to stay here for a while, you and Fiona will go first."
Rui Wen nodded and said, "Okay, sister, I still have very important things to go to Freljord, go first, you have to be careful alone."
Listening carefully to his sister's last advice before leaving, Ye Feng nodded heavily. is about to leave, and he has also restrained his playful and mischievous personality.
Rui Wen was still a little relieved that Ye Feng couldn't get rid of Ye Feng, and she told Ye Feng some things one after another, before she used the sword intent of the wind to leave to the north. And Ye Feng stared at Rui Wen's distant back, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Fiona squirmed her lips and comforted softly: "Ye Feng, when you arrive in Ionia, you will naturally reunite with Sister Ruiwen."
Ye Feng retracted his gaze and nodded heavily, he would definitely not live up to his sister's expectations and arrive in Ionia safely.
Fiona saw Ye Feng regain her strength, and showed a rare smile of relief, but when she thought that she was also leaving, the smile on her face instantly turned into sadness.
pursing her lips, Fiona decided to go to Ionia with Ye Feng after dealing with the affairs of the Laurent family, she really couldn't rest assured that Ye Feng would not be able to do so.
She said timidly: "I am also going back to the family, if you can, don't be in a hurry to leave, wait for me at the inn on the street of the Laurent family's mansion in the imperial city of Demacia, and I will accompany you to Ionia."
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed Fiona's hands excitedly. He thought that Fiona would not go to Ionia with him, but he didn't expect Fiona to say so.
He had heard from his sister that Ionia was on the sea, and that he had to cross a vast continent before he could reach it by boat. Such a long journey should not be boring if Fiona accompanies it, right?
was suddenly grabbed by Ye Feng's hands, and Fiona's cheeks were faintly flushed. In order to prevent Ye Feng from finding out that she was blushing, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and lowered her head. A pair of eyes flashed with a panicked look, and she whispered, "Ye Feng, give me your pendant."
"Pendants?" Ye Feng took out the pendant tied around his neck suspiciously, and looked at Fiona in confusion.
Fiona took a breath, collected her complicated thoughts, and said: "I'm about to go out, I don't want you to use Sister Avina's pendant to summon her as soon as something happens, I think you also know that Sister Avina is the daughter of the former Dragon Emperor, if you are found out by the people of the Dragon Clan because of your trivial things, it will be a big trouble, so it is better to leave the pendant on my side to be safe, and I will give it to you when you become stronger."
Ye Feng also felt that Fiona was right, he shrugged his shoulders, took off the pendant and handed it to Fiona.
After Fiona put away the pendant, Ye Feng smiled mischievously: "Miss Fiona, what else do you have to order?"
"No, hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you...... It's time for me to go too, remember to wait for me in the Imperial City. Fiona gave Ye Feng a blank look, and left without giving Ye Feng a chance to speak.
Ye Feng shrugged helplessly, anyway, the two would have a chance to meet in the future. He didn't believe that Fiona could resist not talking to him all the time!
What would it be like if Fiona listened to him one day? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a wicked smile.
……
The next morning, Ye Feng walked out of the house with a yawn. Rubbing his eyes, he whispered, "Damn, I overslept, I was going to leave yesterday afternoon."
Anyway, he overslept, and Ye Feng, who was born an optimist, immediately put his unhappiness behind him. With brisk steps, he walked slowly towards Demacia.
When he was about to leave the red maple forest, a snow-white figure swept past Ye Feng at an extremely fast speed. Ye Feng, who was still a little dazed by this figure, suddenly became vigilant, and he quickly used his lame sword qi to lock the aura of the snow-white figure.
After fixing his eyes, Ye Feng realized that he was nervous. All that passed by him just now was a snow-white fox, not a dangerous person.
Before he could let down his vigilance, Ye Feng heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from not far away, and then an arrow swept past him with a "boom", shooting directly at the fox just now.
The arrow was too fast, and the white fox couldn't run at all, and one leg was directly nailed to the ground. Bright red blood flowed from the white fox's legs along the arrows, and the people behind had already arrived on horseback.
"Phew"!
The two horses stopped directly next to the white fox, and two men in armor jumped off the horses. A man with long braids and a brown uniform resembled a steward, and was about forty years old. The other man was about the same age as Ye Feng, wearing a laurel crown and golden armor, and the whole person was full of majesty.
"Prince, this hunt is fruitful, we can go back." After saying that, the man who looked like a manager pinched the back of the white fox's neck and grabbed it into the air.
"Let's eat here, you and I don't need to pay attention to etiquette outside, and we will share this delicious fox meat together." The prince took the white fox with a smile, found some dry wood next to it to build a shelf, and lit a fire.
"Wait a minute, can you stop eating this fox?" Next to him, Ye Feng asked weakly, because he felt that these two people were stronger than him.
"Huh? There's also a little brother here, come, come and eat with us. The prince smiled at Ye Feng. In his opinion, Ye Feng also wanted to eat fox meat, but he was embarrassed to speak.
"No, can you let it go?" Ye Feng shook his head.
"You're really kind, but what are we going to eat if we let it go? If you can provide us with some game, I can be a great benevolent. The prince looked at Ye Feng with interest.
When Ye Feng heard this, he showed a look of embarrassment, where did he get any game.
He wanted to save it not only because he was kind-hearted, but also because he had an inexplicable connection with the little fox in his heart, so that Ye Feng couldn't bear to see it die like this.
"I don't have game, can you do it and let it go? I love little foxes. Ye Feng clasped his hands and asked sincerely.
The prince looked at Ye Feng in front of him with interest, he felt that Ye Feng was a very interesting person. And with his eye, he naturally saw that Ye Feng's expression did not seem to be fake. Ye Feng's undusted kindness made the prince have a hint of friendship.
The prince laughed a few times and said, "Yes, if the little brother doesn't mind, how about making a friend, I am Jiawen IV, the prince of Demacia, and next to me is Zhao Xin, the governor of Debang, and it is not an exaggeration to count him as my uncle." After speaking, the prince handed the white fox in his hand to Ye Feng.
It turned out that these two people were from the royal family, no wonder they were dressed so gorgeously, Ye Feng thought secretly in his heart.
"Well, my name is Ye Feng, I have been living in this forest, and I am going to go out to see the world today." Ye Feng confided his life experience without any scheming, completely forgetting what Rui Wen told him yesterday morning.
"Well, okay, Ye Feng, you will be my friend from today onwards, if someone dares to bully you, you will report my name!" The prince patted Ye Feng's shoulder boldly, almost knocking Ye Feng down.
I'll go, do you want to work so hard, Ye Feng complained in his heart.
Although he complained a little in his heart, he also knew that the prince had no ill will towards him. Seeing that the legs of the white fox in his arms were still bleeding, Ye Feng said: "Okay, I'll bandage the wound of this white fox first, and we'll talk later."
Maybe it was a little painful, the white fox whined in a low voice. Ye Feng smiled and stroked the white fox's head, the fluffy fur was very comfortable to touch. He opened his mouth and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's wrapped, and you can walk in a few days." ”
The white fox seemed to have spirituality, so he didn't wail anymore, and rubbed his head in Ye Feng's arms.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a simple person." Zhao Xin, who had been silent, spoke.
"Oh? It's rare to see you appreciate other people, and I think he can make friends. The prince said with a smile.
Ye Feng, who was on the side, didn't hear their conversation, he was concentrating on checking whether there were any other injuries on the white fox's body.
While checking his body, Ye Feng said: "Little fox, we will be good friends in the future, you don't have a name yet, how about calling Ahri?"
The white fox raised his head and looked at Ye Feng with big cute eyes. With a "woo", she rubbed her head against Ye Feng's clothes again, as if to show that she liked the name very much.
