Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 42

Kiyoshi Tsuki breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: It seems he has become much more rational.

Walking to the bedside, Qingfeng leaned down to look at the person on the bed. Unexpectedly, instead of asking about the injuries with concern, he suddenly cursed, "Idiot."

Kiyomi Tsuki was startled.

Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "You've arrived."

Qingfeng snorted, "Do you think I'm so easily assassinated? You can't even see through such a childish trick. You're supposed to be the lord of Lu Family Fortress."

Lu Qingcheng gave a wry smile. "I was in a terrible mood during the day because of that woman's teasing, and my mind was all messed up. I only realized something was wrong when we got to the ancient pine forest. Luckily, Jianyue arrived in time, otherwise, we brothers would really have to live two lives."

A sharp glint flashed in Qingfeng's eyes. "You have no doubts about me at all?"

“I know you too well.” Lu Qingcheng said in a low and gentle voice, “Even if you hate me, you still can’t bring yourself to hurt me.”

"You're wrong," Qingfeng roared angrily. "I wish I could kill you."

A sly smile flickered across Lu Qingcheng's lips. "You wouldn't."

Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it." Suddenly, he glanced at Qing Jianyue, who was standing there in a daze, and said coldly, "Jianyue."

Kiyomi Tsuki was startled again, "Huh?"

"You step back. I have something to say to this bastard cousin alone. No one is allowed to disturb me without my orders."

Qingfeng glared with her phoenix eyes, exuding a cold and dignified aura.

"yes."

Qing Jianyue hurriedly left the bedroom, closed the carved door, gave Zhang Zhichun a few instructions, then jumped onto the porch railing and sat down, letting out a long sigh. He had truly suffered; he had been up all night and was utterly exhausted. He looked up at the sky, idly pointing at the few sparse stars, but his mind was preoccupied with something else entirely.

What are the two brothers talking about inside the house? Will they be able to put aside their differences, join hands, and fight against the enemy together?

The lights moved closer, and soon Bai Yiting, supporting his beloved daughter, arrived surrounded by his attendants. Zhang Zhichun went to greet them. Qing Jianyue thought to herself: Why does Bai Yiting always take his precious daughter with him wherever he goes? A gentle breeze blew, carrying the crisp, medicinal scent of chrysanthemums throughout the garden. Although the garden was guarded far and near, it was remarkably quiet. Qing Jianyue subconsciously glanced again at the bedroom door.

"Young Master Jianyue, where is your fox?" The white rabbit's clear, bell-like voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Kiyoshi said absentmindedly, "Fox led Deputy Enforcer Fang to capture the assassin. It's not here."

Seeing his indifferent attitude, the white rabbit gently bit her rosy lips and said sadly, "Are you still angry?"

Kiyomi Tsuki's attention was drawn back by her sorrowful voice. He looked at the white rabbit strangely; in the moonlight, the white rabbit's beautiful face was like a sculpted jade sculpture, without a single flaw.

"Please don't be angry with me, okay? I didn't mean to whip Fox. I've regretted it ever since." White Rabbit's almond-shaped eyes glistened with tears, looking as if she was about to burst into tears.

In this situation, any resentment would vanish without a trace, especially since someone like Qing Jianyue would have long forgotten that unpleasant incident. Qing Jianyue smiled pure and radiantly, "Miss Bai, did I mean to blame you?"

The white rabbit was so dazzled by his smile that she was momentarily stunned before pouting and asking coquettishly, "Then why are you ignoring me?"

"It's simply because so much happened tonight."

Kiyomi Tsuki sighed, like a puppy with drooping ears. He was worried: were the two brothers in the house really holding hands? Were they all good friends?

"You don't need to worry anymore. With your father here, there's nothing that can't be solved."

Perhaps influenced by him, the white rabbit's face shone with a childlike pride and innocence. It was as if everything could be solved as soon as her father intervened.

Kiyomi Tsuki was amused by her and suddenly realized that this girl wasn't as spoiled as she had imagined, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards her. Unexpectedly, the white rabbit suddenly changed the subject.

"Young Master Jianyue, your fox is so beautiful!"

The white rabbit spoke softly and sweetly, her expression so pitiful and endearing. Kiyomi Tsuki's innate senses alerted her. What was this little girl up to with that alluring expression?

"I love your fox so much,"

The white rabbit's almond-shaped eyes sparkled with a watery, alluring light, and her voice was sweet and beautiful. If Du Fangwei were facing her right now, she believed that whatever she wanted, Du Fangwei would unconditionally offer it to her.

Kiyomi Tsuki remained expressionless, still biting a finger, tilting her head, and blinking at her like an innocent child.

"Young Master Jianyue, would you let me play with Fox for a day?" The white rabbit's sweet voice was like an invisible, gentle ruler that could tug at the heart of even the toughest man.

Kiyomi Tsuki gave a mischievous smile.

The white rabbit exclaimed happily, "You promised me!"

Kiyotsuki's expression suddenly turned serious, and her imposing aura made the white rabbit's heart tremble. Kiyotsuki said in a solemn and serious tone, "Miss Bai, although the fox is a fox, it also has a life and a soul. No matter what, I will always respect it as I would a person, and I will never force it to do anything it doesn't like."

The white rabbit lost its color as if it had been slapped. After a long while, it finally came to its senses, then suddenly put its hands on its hips and roared furiously, "Kiyomizuki!"

Kiyomi Tsuki jumped off the railing like a startled cat, feigning a hasty retreat. His wide, dark blue eyes seemed to say, "Whoa! You shrew!"

His mischievous and irritating appearance was both infuriating and hilarious. Wang Jie, who had been watching from a short distance away, saw everything and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The white rabbit was so angry that her face turned red, and she almost swung the whip in her hand again.

Bai Yiting's gentle voice came from behind, "Rabbit, don't be rude."

The white rabbit gritted its teeth in hatred, "Father, Kiyomi Tsuki bullied me."

Bai Yiting approached accompanied by Zhang Zhichun. With an air of composure, Bai Yiting said, "Please forgive my daughter's rudeness, Young Master Jianyue."

Kiyomi Tsuki stuck out her tongue like a naughty child and laughed, "No, I was just teasing your daughter."

Bai Yiting smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Jianyue, we are truly grateful to you tonight."

Kiyomi Tsuki was taken aback.

"Without you, I can't imagine what the situation would be like now. That person calculated everything, but he never expected that the Lord of the Fortress would have such a resourceful person as you by his side. Young Master Jianyue, you deserve a lot of credit tonight."

Bai Yiting's gaze, seemingly capable of piercing through the heart, pierced directly at Kiyomi Tsuki.
