Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 209

Kiyomi Tsuki smiled, a beautiful, warm, and bright smile, but not as dazzling and radiant as sunlight; rather, it was as gentle as pure, flawless jade. Li Lin also smiled, a faint smile that melted the millennia-old, icy snow-capped mountains, transforming them into a clear, green lake.

The carved door opened, and Lu Qingcheng walked in. Li Lin stood up and walked towards the door, giving Lu Qingcheng a slight nod as he passed her. Lu Qingcheng returned the nod. As if they had reached some unspoken understanding, Li Lin walked out of the room without looking back. At the door, he bumped into Hongxiu. With a loud thud, Hongxiu dropped the bird's nest porridge she was holding, her eyes wide with amazement. Li Lin frowned slightly. He continued walking, followed by clanging sounds. Huang Chong, Zhang Lang, Guo Guo, and Mao Ying all threw down their swords, staring at Li Lin's face, dumbfounded. Li Lin grew even more displeased, quickening his pace and disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

"beauty!"

Is it a man or a woman?

"Is it a man?"

"No, she's so beautiful, she must be a woman."

"He's wearing men's clothes?"

"How stupid! Even the young master is dressed as a man."

"Oh, neither male nor female."

Inside the room, Lu Qingcheng stared at Qing Jianyue with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

Kiyomi Tsuki's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

"I have two pieces of news," Lu Qingcheng said thoughtfully. "One is bad news, and the other is good news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Kiyomi Tsuki thought seriously for a moment and said, "Isn't there a saying, 'Be the first to worry about the world's troubles and the last to enjoy its pleasures'? Even Mr. Fan said it, so what else can I say? Let's hear the bad news first."

Lu Qingcheng wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He calmed himself down before saying, "Your mother just passed away."

Qing Jianyue stood there blankly, not reacting for a long time. Lu Qingcheng was a little worried, took two steps over, and reached out to hug him. Qing Jianyue sighed, "Back then, she chose to betray my late father and abandon me and Xing'er. Now, she still chooses to abandon me."

Lu Qingcheng hugged him even tighter.

"Good news?" Kiyomi sniffed in his arms.

“Your mother left a suicide note.” Lu Qingcheng released him and took out a letter from her sleeve pocket. “The letter mentioned your younger sister.”

Kiyomi Tsuki snatched it away...

Chapter Seventy-Eight Sisters

That night, Xiaoqian had a strange dream.

In the darkness, she heard the sound of running footsteps, so fast they seemed to fly. For some reason, she followed the footsteps, running desperately until she was breathless, afraid to stop, as if stopping would mean losing something. Suddenly, a loud bang, and a blinding light shot out. Xiaoqian instinctively raised her arm to shield her face.

"Little Black, Little Black".

"Little Black, Little Black".

Suddenly, two incredibly sweet, childlike voices rang in her ears. Xiaoqian lowered her arms and couldn't help but widen her eyes. It was a very spacious and bright house. The house wasn't luxuriously furnished, but it was filled with lush, colorful, and exotic flowers and plants. A beautiful woman, capable of captivating any man, was tending to them, but she seemed startled by something, her slender, jade-like hands clutching her rapidly heaving chest.

"Moon, Stars."

Two little children burst through the door like two wild ponies. One was seven years old, her hair disheveled, her pretty clothes not only covered in mud but also torn, and her fair face bore the marks of a fight. Yet, she had beautiful eyes, as bright, clear, and innocent as black crystals. From her appearance, it might be difficult to tell if she was a boy or a girl. But Xiaoqian knew she was a girl, and her name was Yue. The other was three years old, and her features resembled her beautiful mother perfectly. Xiaoqian also knew that she was Xing'er, the girl her mother had told her about.

The two children rushed into the room and ran without hesitation to a carved table. Yue, her two dirty little hands gripping the table, shouted "Yay!" Xing'er jumped up and down, "Me too! Me too!" Yue immediately picked up her sister, who opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at an empty birdcage on the table, also shouting "Yay!" The scene was so adorable; who could bear to scold such innocent and pure children?

The beautiful mother sighed, swallowing back the words of scolding that were on the tip of her tongue.

Although the birdcage was empty, strangely enough, Xiaoqian knew that a myna bird had once lived inside. Its feathers were as black as the silken hair of the doll's mother—beautifully black, shimmering black. And when it looked at them, its eyes would dart around, its little head tilting to one side, and suddenly it would open its long, yellowish beak and call out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Guests are here! Guests are here!" Therefore, this myna bird was deeply loved by Yue and Xing'er, and they would come to see it more than ten times a day.

Yue put her sister down, took a deep breath, and suddenly roared, "Watermelon!"

"watermelon."

So the younger sister also yelled.

To avoid being tormented by the demonic sounds, their beautiful mother had to cover her ears.

A chubby girl of about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a green dress, tumbled in. Facing the two little devils—no, the two girls—she trembled with fear, stammering, "M-M-Miss."

"Where's Xiao Hei?" Yue asked, hands on her hips. Despite her young age, she had quite a presence.

"Where's Xiao Hei?" Xing'er imitated him very well.

"It was eaten by the fat cat."

Despite being seventeen, Xigua was terrified of Yue, who was ten years younger. After reporting, she immediately covered her face and scurried behind their mother to hide.

"Fat cat?" Yue looked doubtful.

"Fat cat?" Xing'er parrot mimicked.

"The fat cat ate Little Black?" Yue said, raising her eyebrows fiercely.

"The fat cat ate Little Black." After saying that, Xing'er asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'ate'?"

"Just like Xing'er eating chicken legs," Yue explained.

"Then, will Xiao Hei come back?" Xing'er asked innocently.

"Idiot, what you eat goes into your stomach and comes out as poop, not Little Black." Yue gave him a look that said, "You're an idiot."

Upon hearing that her beloved little black dog would never come back, Xing'er burst into tears.

"Go get revenge! A hero isn't one who doesn't seek revenge!" Yue shouted.

"Go get revenge! It's not a good show if you don't get revenge!" Xing'er immediately wiped away her tears and imitated her sister's cry with grief and indignation.
