Un sueño de transmigración

Capítulo 45

"Qianqian?" The voice behind me sounded anxious. In an instant, the person was in front of me, lifting my face with some nervousness. When they saw my face covered in tears, a hint of pain flashed in their eyes.

"Big brother!" I couldn't hold back any longer and threw myself into the arms of the person in front of me, crying. I knew that venting my emotions like this would only make him more uneasy, but I couldn't control myself. All the shock, fear, helplessness, self-blame, guilt, and anxiety I had experienced these past few days, as well as all the efforts I had made to calm down, be rational, think, analyze, exploit, deceive, and scheme... let me relax and vent for a while now.

He just held me tightly, gently stroking my back with one hand, murmuring softly, "Qianqian, Qianqian."

After crying my fill, I nuzzled my face against the fox's chest and looked up a little shyly. He looked at me too, and those deep, dark eyes that had once puzzled me were now filled with tenderness and heartache. He lowered his head, and his lips landed on my eye.

My face flushed instantly, and I felt dizzy and unable to think straight until the fox's hand gently touched my cheek, bringing me back to my senses. The person before me really was that lecherous fox! It felt like a dream; I had thought I would never see him again until I returned to the Dragon Radiance Kingdom.

I carefully reached out my right hand and gently stroked the fox's face. The touch was slightly cold, yet it made my heart race. I smiled; this was the first time I had ever touched a fox. I was filled with happiness. It felt like someone was singing around me, and the flowers on the grass seemed to be smiling at me. This journey had been so difficult, and I had brushed with death several times. I didn't want to run away from my feelings anymore. This person in front of me was someone I had fallen for without even realizing it.

"Big brother!" I called out to him sweetly with a grin, momentarily forgetting that I was still thinking of scolding him back to Longyao Kingdom on the carriage.

"I didn't expect Qianqian to be so eager to get close to Big Brother. But there are outsiders here, so why don't we continue somewhere else?" His eyes flashed with a playful yet intense light, but his gaze suddenly became deep. He grabbed my hand, which wasn't satisfied with rubbing my face, and then moved down to rub my neck and chest, with the intention of continuing to grope downwards. With his other hand, he wrapped his arms around my waist and walked towards the direction of Ye Feng, who had been watching the show for who knows how long.

My infatuated brain was finally jolted awake. After struggling a few times in the fox's arms to no avail, I started yelling, "Big brother, put me down! Where are you taking me? I don't want to go! I don't want to go!"

Oh my god, is the fox really in heat? 5555, I just accidentally touched him a few times through his clothes!

The fox pretended not to hear and continued walking forward with me in his arms. That kid Ye Feng was clearly watching us with his eyes open the whole time, but his expression seemed to be trying his best to pretend that he didn't see anything. However, his acting was so bad that he was embarrassed and wanted to bang his head against a tofu block and act out a scene of "beautiful women often have tragic fates"!

"Qianqian," under my fierce and determined attack to defend her chastity, the fox finally sighed helplessly and stopped, but still wouldn't let go. He just looked at me, raised his two handsome eyebrows, and half-closed his narrow peach blossom eyes, saying, "This is the royal scenic garden. This large area south of Tianshan and north of Tianhu Lake is reserved for the royal family of Tianqing Kingdom to visit and play. Do you really want to stay here and wait for someone to discover that Princess Xiyue of Tianqing Kingdom is having an affair?"

"Huh?" A royal scenic garden? What the heck? I looked at the fox in confusion. The guy not only had a sly grin on his face, but his eyes were also sparkling like he was laughing. I finally realized I'd been tricked. I grabbed the fox by the neck, making it look like I was hugging him, but actually I was choking him, and urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

No wonder we haven't seen a single person. Tian Xilan really knows how to pick a place; it was too dangerous!

If only life could be like our first meeting (Part 4)

After leaving the so-called imperial scenic garden, we found a secluded spot where the fox put me down. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I spun around and found that there wasn't a single bird around, which put me at ease.

"Brother, didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you still come? Didn't you receive Little Black Dove's letter?" I finally said the opening line I had prepared earlier.

"Qianqian." He hugged me tightly, one hand supporting the back of my head, pressing my head firmly against his chest. The steady, powerful heartbeat and the faint scent of ambergris made me smile involuntarily.

Could it be that Fox came here foolishly because he was worried about me?

After a long while, he finally released me. His dark eyes stared at me, dazzling like stars. A slight smile played on his lips, and his voice, languid and alluring, whispered, "Qianqian, would you like to come home with me?"

"Yeah, right!" Damn, this fox is actually using his looks to seduce me. If it were before, I would have been sold out and I would still be counting the money for him. But things are different now. I've seen all kinds of storms now, how can I be seduced by mere beauty? So I immediately said righteously, "Big brother, what are you doing? I haven't settled things here yet, how can I go back with you? And how is second brother?"

"Qinglin is currently stationed at Qiqing Pass. Qianqian, do you know how dangerous it is for you to stay in Tianqing Palace as Princess Xiyue?" His face and eyes were filled with worry, and he had only shown such directness about his emotions when he received the last war report.

"Brother, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to stay. Otherwise, what will happen to this mess if I just leave?" I smiled reassuringly at Fox. Everything was more complicated than expected. Fox had thought that as an envoy of Longyao Kingdom to Tianqing Kingdom, with the Yun family guards accompanying me and Fly and his people secretly protecting me, my life would be at least safe, regardless of whether my persuasion succeeded or not. But unexpectedly, I ended up in the Tianqing Imperial Palace as a woman, and even lost my last piece of paper—the "no killing of envoys in times of war" pardon. That's why he was so worried!

"I have a stand-in here to handle everything. Qianqian, I can't rest easy with you here." He said earnestly, but his voice was unusually gentle.

There was nothing I could do; since the fox had already spoken, I could only waste my breath explaining my current situation, including the Azure King's interest in the alliance and the Fourth Prince's ambition and schemes. Finally, I concluded, "Brother, things have taken a turn for the better. All I need is time. The Azure King is no ordinary person. If I rashly send someone to replace me and he discovers it, you should know the consequences without me having to tell you. Since you agreed to let me go on this trip, how can you let me give up halfway? Besides, the crisis in the Dragon Radiance Kingdom hasn't been resolved at all. Do you have a better plan, Brother?"

I spoke until my throat was dry, and my questions were righteous and stern, but that fox demon didn't say a word. He simply sat down on the grass with an elegant posture, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and a dangerous glint in his eyes. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, turned me halfway around so my back was to him, and pulled me to sit on his lap. He rested his chin on my shoulder, and we cuddled for a while until his breath tickled my ear. I couldn't stand it and shrank back. Only then did he lazily speak, "I heard that Qianqian's dance amazed everyone, captivating the Azure King so much that he adopted her as a daughter and bestowed upon her the title of princess. He spoils her rotten, which makes me very uneasy."

"Huh?" Night Wind reported this to Fox too? I hurriedly turned my head to look at Fox, but Fox's head was nestled in the crook of my shoulder and wouldn't move an inch. I couldn't turn around no matter what I did. Just as I was about to reach out and slap his fox head away, Fox was one step ahead of me. He hugged me even tighter with one hand, while his other hand covered my chest with incredible accuracy, right where the Wind Orchid Jade Pendant was.

"B-Big Brother..." I stammered, blushing. Damn you, you lecherous fox, where are your paws?

"Qianqian should understand the significance of this Phoenix Orchid Jade Pendant. If you cannot return unharmed, then turn back with me now." He finally turned me around, and very lightly pressed his lips to my forehead, gently placed his hand on my heart, and whispered in my ear as if casting a spell, "Qianqian's heart cannot be left here."

My heart skipped a beat, and it took me a long time to calm down and think about what the fox had just said. Finally, I asked the question that had been on my mind all along: "If that's the case, why did you agree to let me go on this trip in the first place?"

The fox is not a person who goes back on his word or acts inconsistently.

“My Yun Xiangxian of Longyao Kingdom is renowned throughout the world for his talent and virtue. This little problem shouldn’t be too difficult for him.” He didn’t answer, but gently brushed a few stray strands of hair from my forehead to one side with his long, strong hand and tucked them behind my ear. He said casually, “Don’t you think so, my little Yue’er?”

Little Moon? Could it be that Fox took this opportunity to send me away and thoroughly investigate the Yun family? Those questions about the Yun family that had been lingering in my mind for some time, temporarily suppressed by recent events, are now resurfacing. I should have realized it sooner; Fox's words, "Abandoning the Yun family, I go alone at night," must have been something he said after investigating the Yun family's secrets. So, did Fox already harbor suspicions and vigilance towards the Yun family even before appointing Yun Feng as Prime Minister?

"What secrets does the Yun family hold?" I lowered my head, my eyes drooping, my heart clenching with pain, my voice hoarse. "And when did you begin to suspect me, brother?"

He sighed softly, embraced my slightly stiff body, and said helplessly, "You're clearly a smart person, but you always have moments of confusion. You are the owner of this Phoenix Orchid Jade Pendant, how could I doubt the person I've chosen in my heart?"

If the fox doesn't suspect me, then his agreement to my mission is simply a way to get rid of me and thoroughly investigate the Yun family to get to the bottom of things? At a time like this, does the fox suspect that the Yun family is connected to the Wangyue Kingdom? What will be the results of the investigation? Will the two be related?

"Brother, how is the Yun family now?" Actually, what I wanted to ask was, what secrets does the Yun family hold? But I was afraid that asking such a question would arouse the fox's suspicion.

"It's alright for now." He pulled me to his side, and we sat down side by side on the grass. This secluded little place was located on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains, between two snow-capped mountains, but the grass was still lush and green, covered with various wildflowers. I thought that I could never understand or figure out the natural scenery of this Tianqing Kingdom.

It was a bit cold, but before I could even hunch my shoulders and rub my hands, the fox had already turned around and wrapped my cloak tighter around me. Then, the two foxes looked at me with their eyes sparkling with desire, their smiles exuding an indescribable bewitching charm. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, and then I heard him casually say, "Qianqian, have you figured out the whole thing?"

I nodded obediently, then shook my head. Although I understand why you agreed to let me go on this mission, I still don't understand what earth-shattering secret lies hidden in this corner of Yun Prefecture.

"It seems Yunfeng's words were absolutely true." The fox's regretful tone made me quite depressed.

"Yunfeng? You've seen your brother?" I could hardly believe it. The fox and Yunfeng had secretly met while I was away? So the fox even went to the Yun residence.

"Does Qianqian want to know who she really is?"

"I want to!" Although the fox's eyes were sparkling with cunning, I still bravely and resolutely took the bait. First, I could use this opportunity to test the fox's intelligence. He certainly didn't know I was from the 21st century, so I could conclude that the fox wasn't very smart. Second, knowing Yun Yue's identity would also allow me to find out about Old Man Yun's identity, right? I'd need to be careful dealing with Old Man Yun in the future, so this information seemed somewhat valuable.

"Sigh! But I promised Yunfeng that he would tell you everything about the Yun family himself!" He sighed deeply, feigning regret, but his eyes were full of smug satisfaction. I was so angry that I almost suffocated and just wanted to slap this devil away!

Of course I wouldn't dare to make a move. Even a fox disguised as an incognito is still an emperor, so I could only roll my eyes at him and ask curiously, "Big brother, with you running out like this and second brother not around, won't the court be thrown into chaos?"

The emperor, prime minister, and general have all vanished without a trace, and the fox is truly at ease.
