Chapter 1702 “Qiu Moon the Fox (1)”
At the signal, the crowd behind the hazy figure moved and began their attack upon the couple. The strikes were fierce as they came in from multiple directions. Even so, they were not enough to completely overwhelm their target who met them punch for punch, kick for kick.
“Leave me behind State Teacher, you mustn’t die for me! You won’t be able to survive if you’re busy protecting me.” Tears flowing, Di Xiao Wan cries out with trembling voice after seeing the terrible state her protector has gotten himself into. She may be a clutz at times, but even she could see the tide doesn’t lie with them as the fighting dragged on.
Despite his robe being in tatters and body covered in wounds by this point, this gentle and kind gentleman didn’t utter a word, only continuing to fend off the punches and blades with his own hands. He won’t be deterred, that’s his resolution and duty as a man.
I said I will protect her, nothing will get in my way of doing so!
As nice as those thoughts were, State Teacher’s strained body was swiftly beginning to show its flaws. He’s become a swaying tree with holes punched into his trunks. If this continued then it’s just a matter of time before he’s toppled over.
“Milord!” Suddenly, a familiar voice cuts in upon this rose covered field where a life and death battle ensued.
Di Xiao Wan recognized this voice instantly. Turning to face the lady with a growl, the demon princess wanted to slap the fox lady out of frustration.
“Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t hurt her?” Qiu Moon ran up to the hazy figure and kneeled there.
He clearly promised me, if he didn’t promise me then I wouldn’t have done this!
Why are things turning out like this? I never planned for this at all, it shouldn’t have become like this, it never was!
“Scram!” The haze roared, carrying force in the voice and sending the fox lady’s body tumbling backwards like he just punched her in the gut. “I did promise you, but what of it? Who told her to be Di Cang’s sister? If I don’t kill her then how can I teach that bastard a proper lesson!”
Qiu Moon’s body froze as blood slowly trickled out of her mouth, those eyes dull and lost like the life just got sucked out of her soul.
How did this happen…
He’s going to kill her?
I’m so dumb to have believed him…
“You lied to me, you lied to me…” Qiu Moon’s voice sounded shaky, her eyes unable to hide the despair circulating in those eyes, “Why did you lie to me?”
I am so stupid, why did I believe this man when I knew he hated her brother! What am I supposed to do…
