Chapter 46
HEART PROTECTION: CHAPTER 46
Yan Hui didn't know what the situation outside was like . Her only thought was to track Feng Ming down and kill him to prevent his escape from stabbing them in the back .
The warmth in her heart was growing stronger and stronger . For an unknown amount of time, that warmth spread throughout her body and into her limbs . Yan Hui let out a relaxed sigh . She could finally move .
Yan Hui looked back . Tian Yao was still standing there with his eyes closed . Actually since last night when the moon was full, Tian Yao's face had a sickly blue cast to it . It was like he had been frozen . But now, his face was rosier than before .
He steadily stood there . It wasn't sure if he was sensing the aura in his body or pondering over life . Yan Hui only needed to know that he was alright . Then she turned around to resume the chase .
If Feng Ming managed to run into a busy area, then Yan Hui wouldn't be able to use her Chen Xing Mountain magic . . . . . .
Thinking of this, Yan Hui gloomily lowered her head and rushed out . However in that moment, she unexpectedly ran into someone standing in the doorway . The man staggered at the impact and stumbled back a few paces .
Yan Hui tensed up, but then she heard a voice say: "What's with the rush?" Yan Hui stared . It was Feng Qian Shuo . She immediately released a pent up-breath . With the injuries Feng Ming had, there was no way he would live after encountering Feng Qian Shuo .
Yan Hui had never experienced anything like the relationship between uncle and the nephew . But from the rumors in the streets, Yan Hui was sure Feng Qian Shuo hated Feng Ming to the point he wanted to rip his uncle apart alive .
All power struggles were fought to the last breath .
After relaxing, Yan Hui tensed up yet again . She looked behind Feng Qian Shuo . He laughed: "Miss Yan Hui, don't look . Naturally, I'm sensible and won't let the others come in to see you . " Feng Qian Shuo lightly fanned his fan . "I just came to tell you my uncle has passed away . You can be at ease . "
This time, Yan Hui was put to ease .
Now that she could relax, Yan Hui felt all her strength immediately drain out of her . She felt feeble, her stomach twisting in pain . Sweat dotted her forehead . She almost instantly covered her stomach with her hands and slumped down: "Fuck . . . . . . if you want to be a savior, then come earlier!"
Feng Qian Shuo laughed in amusement: "It's because I have faith in you, Miss Yan Hui . " He saw Yan Hui still kneeled there without raising her head, and he knew she had truly been severely hurt . He slightly composed himself and knelt in front of Yan Hui, sizing her up . "Can you walk on your own?"
Feng Qian Shuo couldn't allow his subordinates to escort Yan Hui . Although they were trusted aides, the less people who saw Yan Hui here, the better .
Yan Hui waived her hand: "Take your men and go . Pretend like you didn't see me . I still have some business to do . "
Feng Qian Shuo was somewhat perplexed . At that moment, another voice come from behind Yan Hui: "What business?"
It was Tian Yao, who finally finished absorbing the dragon horns into his body, walking out . He saw Yan Hui was still kneeling on the ground, unable to get up . He frowned and walked over to her before also kneeling down by her .
Seeing Tian Yao so worried, Feng Qian Shuo smiled and stood up: "Sir Tian Yao can assist you back, so I don't need to worry anymore . I will leave first . You two take care when returning . " He didn't linger and nimbly walked away . His voice was heard loudly commanding his subordinates outside the courtyard: "Move the fox lust fragrance out . "
Looks like Feng Qian Shuo didn't want to waste the already-made drug .
Right now, Tian Yao and Yan Hui weren't in the mood to concern themselves with where the drugs were being moved to . After all with the dragon horns gone, even if Feng Qian Shuo wanted to make more, he wouldn't be able to . At most he could only sell the remaining fragrance .
Right now, Yan Hui cared about her abdomen . Could her stomach and intestines be severely injured by that hit from Feng Ming? Why did it hurt so much . . . . . . .
Tian Yao saw her forehead was covered in sweat . He clenched his fist: "Is it bad?"
"So you did know that I was hurt?" When Yan Hui brought up the topic, her temper flared . "What were you waiting for?"
Su Ying's words about the heart protection scale flitted through Tian Yao's head . His eyes slightly dropped, but when he opened his mouth he said: "Dragon horns and spiritual items, dragon bones too, need time to be absorbed . "
True, when Tian Yao fell into that icy lake, a long time had passed before he got out . Yan Hui almost thought he died .
"My body was only temporarily frozen, but my consciousness was already aware . "
It was like when Yan Hui felt the warmth back then, but she was also unable to take a single step .

Yan Hui thought a bit . There was nothing to blame Tian Yao with . She was probably just irritable from the pain: "Let's not leave yet . I still need to find something . "
Tian Yao seemed dissatisfied with Yan Hui's words: "You're heavily injured . Look after yourself . If you really need to search, then we can come back later to search . "
"No, no . While it's still light, we need to find Bai Xiao Lu's mother and release her . Later on, we might conclude this matter, and her mother will have turned into an evil spirit . That would be injustice . "
Yan Hui's hands grasped the air . Tian Yao automatically grabbed her waving hands and helped her up . Yan Hui staggered a little and stumbled into his arms .
It seemed like the extreme pain had numbed Yan Hui's body . She didn't make a single cry or whimper . It also seemed like the pain had driven her into silence since she didn't immediately tell Tian Yao to let go of her . Yan Hui's unusual lack of response discomfited him .
Tian Yao was stunned . He sensed Yan Hui start to move forwards, and he blindly followed after her . He feared if Yan Hui wasn't supported, she would fall .
"When Su Ying left in a rush, she left the Blue Luan Bird . To her, a three-tailed fox demon's soul is insignificant . She wouldn't remember to take the soul away with her . Therefore, the fox demon's soul is definitely still sealed here in some corner . " Yan Hui pondered out to herself . She hissed several times in pain . "But Heavenly Fragrance is so big, and we don't know how Su Ying sealed the demon . Where to start looking . . . . . . "
Tian Yao was silent for a moment . Then he asked: "Are ghost auras like the three-tailed fox demon's aura in the willow grove? All foul and black?"
Yan Hui was looking all around and she absent-mindedly replied: "Ya . "
Tian Yao was silent again . When he spoke again, Yan Hui heard: "It's over there . Follow me . "
Yan Hui was shocked . She followed after Tian Yao's direction: "How do you know?"
"My dragon horns are the ultimate treasure that can absorb spirituality . They're extremely sensitive to auras . Since they have returned to me, I'm still a bit sluggish . However, sensing otherworldly auras is still simple enough . "
Yan Hui listened to Tian Yao's matter-of-fact words . Her eyes lit up: "If we use your horns to poke about tombs, assuming your horns are accurate, then the objects we find buried there are ours?"
" . . . . . . " No matter what happens, there was no changing her from uttering shocking words . . . . . . Tian Yao shot her a look out of narrowed eyes . "Go focus finding the ghost . "
Yan Hui followed Tian Yao around . When they passed under a bell outside of a room, Yan Hui felt a spell of extremely strong and chill wind .

The bell swayed with no wind stirring it . It rang out . Its movement in an otherwise empty and still room felt especially ominous .
It looks like the soul sealed inside wasn't far from turning into evil spirit . Yan Hui didn't delay any longer and took one step forward . She gathered her magic and broke the seal on the bell . It rang and fell onto the ground . At the same time, a sharp wail cried out, nearly splitting Yan Hui's eardrums .
Yan Hui covered her ears: "So noisy!" She could only yell at the three-tailed fox demon . However, her abdomen tensed up when she yelled, so Yan Hui felt a tearing pain throughout her body . "Ouch! Stop yelling! Your daughter was saved . "
With that sentence alone, the evil presence in the room lessened a large degree . Yan Hui bent over clutching her stomach and lamented: "I really saved her . She's at Wang Yu Lou in a room set up for her . That's more than the other fox demons . You can follow me to see your daughter . "
The three-tailed fox demon finally settled down . She really wasn't far from becoming an evil sport . Tattered clothes . Long, disarrayed hair . Ghastly-pallored face . And bloody tear streaks looking like cuts running down her face .
The fox demon didn't move an inch . She only stood there, staring at Yan Hui . It was to the point that Yan Hui's stomach started to hurt even more .
"Come with me . Follow me . If I'm tricking you, then you can take me away . "
Yan Hui didn't need to use the Escape Earth method anymore . Tian Yao supported her up . Under the three-tailed fox demon's careful gaze, they secretly left through Heavenly Fragrance's back door and returned to Wang Yu Lou .
Yan Hui pointed out the door next to her room to the three-tailed fox demon: "That one . She should still be inside . " Yan Hui hadn't finished when the door she was pointing at opened . Bai Xiao Lu stepped out and look at Yan Hui: "Sister Yan, you . . . . . . you're injured?"
The little girl was worried for Yan Hui .
Yan Hui's heart softened . She looked to the side .
The three-tailed fox demon that was on the cusp of becoming an evil spirit was already slowly recovering into her normal appearance . She gazed upon Bai Xiao Lu, eyes filled with indescribably love . All the bitterness and struggles had disappeared . There was only gratitude and distress that couldn't be suppressed .
Yes, how could there not be distress . This was probably the last time she would see her daughter . Now that she wasn't clinging to the world, it was time to go and reincarnate . Some day in the future, her daughter would have to face harsh difficulty alone . Her mom . . . . . .
Was gone .
The three-tailed fox demon's black aura was becoming pure . She was starting to become how she looked the first time Yan Hui saw her .

If she were still alive, then she would've definitely been a very pretty fox demon .
"Xiao Lu . " Yan Hui's was very soft . "I'm fine . I want you to do something for me . Do what I say, ok?"
Bai Xiao Lu looked at Yan Hui in confusion, but she still nodded . Yan Hui fisted her hand and held it in front of Bai Xiao Lu: "Look at my fist . Don't look away . "
Bai Xiao Lu complied .
Then Yan Hui slowly moved her fist until it touched the head of the three-tailed fox demon .
Bai Xiao Lu watched Yan Hui's fist like she could see her mother . It was like life and death had been crossed . Four eyes met .
Tears dripped out of the three-tailed fox demon's eyes . Aside from Yan Hui, no one else could hear her words . But she still covered her mouth out of fear of startling her child: "Thank you . " She could barely choke it out through her sobs . "Thank you, thank you!"
Hearing the fox demon thank her, Yan Hui's fist slightly shook .
Then she unfurled her fist . In her palm was a small flame that took the shape of a small fox: "Look, I conjured this up . " Yan Hui explained her movements to Bai Xiao Lu .
Because separating Bai Xiao Lu from her mother was hard enough the first time, Yan Hui didn't want the separation to happen a second time . So the choice was to lie and trick . Pretend like she didn't know anything . Perhaps that would be the best for Bai Xiao Lu .
Sure enough, Bai Xiao Lu smiled: "You're the best, Sister Yan . "
Yan Hui nodded: "I'm going to go back to my room . "
Tian Yao watched off to the side . Without the spell array, he couldn't see the three-tailed fox . However, he could guess what Yan Hui did . Then he couldn't help himself from fixating on Yan Hui's face .
Yan Hui entered the room and closed the door . Yan Hui cleaned against the door for several moments: "Tian Yao, do you have a mom?"
Tian Yao shook his head: "I do, but I never met her . "
"It must be nice to be raised by one . " Yan Hui whispered . "Suddenly, I kinda miss my mom . . . . . . "
