Pretending To Be A Boss

The baby's cry once made me think this was all a dreamlike illusion.

But I clearly saw it, that child who should not even have formed a Soul Crystal yet, but she could transform into a human.

She was so adorable, she would surely be as beautiful as her mother someday.

I couldn't understand what was happening.

Perhaps she heard her mother's heartfelt wishes? Because Xiaoyun tried to become human every day during her pregnancy.

But she never succeeded.

Until the last moment of her life, Xiaoyun finally transformed into the appearance she longed for.

Xiao Ni kept on crying, her weeping unstoppable. It was as if she knew her mother was about to die.

The words Xiaoyun spoke to me still often appear in my dreams.

With her last breath, she said to me:

'Sister, if we and humans... are truly mortal enemies, then why would the gods grant us their appearance?

Could it be that we are meant to protect them? You must think I'm foolish, right?

But I truly... truly do not regret loving that man. I don't blame him either.

It's just that in the future, I hope my daughter can change such a fate.

I hope she... can live in an era not despised by humans.'"

Qing JiuYu's eyes were clearly filled with intense hatred, yet they were blurred with tears.

The story had come to an end.

It was the first time Tang Xian saw this enchanting woman hide her coquettish smile completely, her face bearing an inconsolable sadness.

Qing JiuYu looked at Tang Xian and said coldly:

"My kin died without regret, but what about that human? When Xiaoyun died, he might have been whispering sweet nothings to another woman or boasting to humans about how he humiliated our fox race?"

Qing JiuYu, who was always skilled at masking her emotions with seductiveness, couldn't help but let her anger burst forth whenever she recalled this past event. She grabbed Tang Xian's collar and demanded:

"Because of humans, my kin will never like Tang Xiaojiu, and your humans have never stopped our world's occupation. Tell me, how should I forgive humans?"

Tang Xian pulled out a tissue and gently wiped away Qing JiuYu's tears.

His voice remained calm as he said:

"I can't change your mind, but Xiaoyun's last wish before she died was probably for both races to coexist peacefully, right? It's a difficult wish to fulfill.

Such an atmosphere is also hard to change. She indeed was a very foolish woman.

But Tang Xiaojiu was born with such an unrealistic desire. Offspring always carry their mother's wishes.

In the future, Tang Xiaojiu will become the leader of the fox race, and perhaps, I too might have considerable influence among humans. It might sound arrogant, but I think Tang Xiaojiu meeting me was a grand arrangement of fate? Maybe in the future... she could change such an atmosphere."

Tang Xian spoke earnestly:

"Although I may not necessarily be human, nor do I want to change your or the fox race's view of humans—

As long as I live, I will ensure Tang Xiaojiu never experiences any betrayal."

Qing JiuYu stared at Tang Xian, transfixed.

"That doesn't convince me."

"I didn't try to convince you, but why not stay in this world for a while, and try to believe that Dong Ran and the others are Tang Xiaojiu's friends."

Tang Xian stood up and walked towards the exit of the coffee shop. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

The sky turned even more overcast, and Tang Xian said:

"Let's go, to the next location to investigate."
