The Fox Goddes Love Struggle
Chapter LVII - Qi Xiangma Plan (3)

6 months later.

The scorching sun penetrated the bamboo forest which at its deepest point was dark and foggy. Yi Changyin stared at the vast, grassless place in the middle of the bamboo forest. The sunlight had shone on him with a blistering.

On the side of that vast grassless place, Yi Changyin looked at him expressionlessly. The white clothes and her hair child were fluttered by the wind that accidentally blew past her.

"Heilong.." Call Yi Changyin accompanied by the appearance of an adult Heilong beside him.

"How many months has it been from the wedding?" The question sounded flat without expression.

Heilong seemed to think for a moment before finally answering, "six months."

"Six months?" Yi Changyin looked surprised. "Why then.My stomach never grew." He added anxiously for the sake of touching his flat stomach like six months ago. The first time she was declared pregnant by herself and her sister.

Heilong was speechless. He himself was also confused about this. But he himself did not know the deepest medical science.

"Xuan Chen didn't do it right?!" Yi Changyin asked in panic.

Heilong shook his head low. Because he really did not know anything about what Yi Changyin was worried about.

"He never tried to see me. Is this the reason?!" Shouts again.

"Mother.."

Yi Changyin growled low without caring for Heilong. Then go from there using teleport to get there faster. Leaving Heilong alone in the middle of the forest there. There is no other choice but to follow him. And he again appeared right in Xuan Chen's dormitory courtyard. The man he was looking for was calmly reading a book while pacing back and forth indistinctly.

"Xuan Chen's.." Call her slow and a little nervous. But it managed to attract the man to stop and look at him with an incredulous look.

Yes, for six months the girl was always trying to avoid him. He wanted to get back into his arms as usual, wanting to continue persuading her to stay here, in his arms. Yet...

"And the last condition. I want you to follow all her wishes, whatever they are. From the easy to the hardest. Even if Yi Changyin wants you dead. You know what you're doing? Of course you have to die."

Yes that's how it always burrows in his head when he wants to reach the hand that is in front of his eyes. Easy but hard, I don't know!

Even six months ago he had to receive two thorny lashes from Shen Lan. Only because in the morning Yi Changyin served him well. As per the agreement with the two people who bore the answers all about Yi Changyin, he had to serve his girl. But that morning was the opposite, making him have to accept a punishment that is completely inappropriate to get.

Today Xuan Chen seemed to be smiling happily instead of a bitch. He immediately placed the scroll on the porch and scattered towards Yi Changyin, hugging him.

"Finally you're willing to see me.."

Clearly his words could not lie to Yi Changyin, if the man was truly excited. What the hell is going on? Wouldn't it be if he missed her that Xuan Chen could meet her head-on?

Yi Changyin released his embrace immediately. Although a little unwilling, Xuan Chen still smiled giving warmth.

"Say where the lotus is?" Yi Changyin said straight to the point.

Making both of Xuan Chen's brows knit and his smile disappear. "Teratai?"

"It's been six months but I've never seen my stomach grow!"

Hearing him made Xuan Chen instantly fixated on Yi Changyin's flat stomach. But wasn't it six months ago that the girl was declared pregnant with Yi Xuemei's medical ability? That girl always learns well, can't be wrong right?

"It's weird.." He also muttered in wonder. However getting a cynical look from Yi Changyin. "Yin'er, I never did. I don't even know why this could happen." He said in a slightly anxious tone.

Anxious for fear that Yi Changyin would not believe him anymore.

"You see me every day, don't you realize it?!" Yi Changyin's tone sounded very emotional.

"Yin'er!" The man had even dared to bend his knees and hold onto Yi Changyin's calf. "I really don't know. Please forgive me.."

"It doesn't need to be that way." Yi Changyin tugged at Xuan Chen's arm. "Why did you become weak and submissive like this?!"

Xuan Chen stood up. Then he said, "yes, I'm a coward."

Yi Changyin smiled and touched her cheeks subtly. "Don't say that. Let's solve this problem together. There was something strange about something that possessed you back then."

Xuan Chen hissed. "I thought you'd scold me again." He said while pulling Yi Changyin into his arms.

But not a hint of joy appeared on Yi Changyin's face. He didn't even intend to return his embrace. But on the contrary Xuan Chen looked delightedly excited and bright.

.......

.......

.......

Yi Changyin stuck his hand out onto the table in a supine position. Show off that pure white skin with no fur and blemishes. If touched, it may feel smooth and comfortable.

Yi Xuemei who was in front of him shriveled in astonishment. But the next second he put his thumb on the surface of Yi Changyin's skin, precisely above where the pulse was.

His expression looks complicated. "True, you're not pregnant." He looked at his sister. "I thought you were using a technique forbidden to that human. I really never got pregnant."

Yi Changyin sighed. "Why then does that prove everything? I'm so confused."

Yi Xuemei propped up her chin. "True, it's as if all this happened because someone had planned it. But who?"

Silent. They were struggling with each other's thoughts about the strange thing that had befallen him a few months ago. Once again, Yi Xuemei always made sure that his current glare was completely real and not wrong. Even though he has only one year of love and study medical science, it is impossible if not progress is not it?

"Have you ever heard of the heart demon?" Yi Changyin asked breaking the silence. Making her brother stare at Yi Changyin full of ridicule.

"Sixteen thousand years of life you still don't recognize the legend of Bai Suzhen?" The question ended with a small laugh.

(Note: the legend of Bai Suzhen, the white snake who fell in love with humans, which is one of the most famous legends in China)

Yi Changyin gave a rough sigh. "This has nothing to do with the legend of the white snake. But someone who possessed Xuan Chen back then claimed to be a heart demon."

Making Yi Xuemei laugh loudly. "The "devil's heart was born from one's own heart. Xuan Chen has no more ambition than to have you. I'm not sure about that."

Yi Changyin screeched while turning his face away. "Is his ambition really just me? I'm not sure."

"Did you doubt your own husband?" Yi Xuemei asked a little with ridicule.

"Stop it.." The answer is not sure.

Yi Xuemei shuddered his shoulders. "We don't know what someone is doing behind our back. So, better watch out for the future."

.......

Qi Zhongma who was now aligning his steps chuckled. "I'm really impatient."

"Wait from this afternoon."

Momentary silence.

"But, wait. How could Wei Qiao agree to all your plans? Doesn't he really dislike us no matter what?" Ask curiously.

"This plan benefits three people. Of course Wei Qiao agreed to it. Moreover, he liked the benefits. Especially getting what he wants. Isn't it?"

Qi Zhongma nodded. What her sister said was completely true. He knew clearly how Wei Qiao was, even though he never said hello.

While Qi Xiangma was just smiling obliquely. His brother did not know how hard he was to persuade Wei Qiao who was already mentally affected.

Flashback 6 months ago.

BRAKK!!

"I told you, I don't want something like yesterday to happen again!" Shouted Wei Qiao with a loud roaring breath.

Qi Xiangma who was in front of him just stared flatly. "Don't you want Xuan Chen? Why give up so easily?"

"That's.."

"Wei Qiao, don't point out your weakest point." Cut Qi Xiangma. "So step out of the cold prison you are even reluctant to go through the same path as Yi Changyin and Xuan Chen. What a pity."

"That girl is scary.." Said Wei Qiao in a trembling tone. His face was very pale.

"Why is that so you're so scared?!" Jerk Qi Xiangma. He was very upset by Wei Qiao's spoiled attitude.

"Yes! Why why?! And besides that I don't trust you two!"

Making Qi Xiangma growl in annoyance. He folded his hands and smashed his back into the back of the chair in frustration.

A few moments quiet. Wei Qiao simply lowered his head while squeezing his clothes as Qi Xiangma looked at him fixedly without even switching a bit.

He suddenly said, "what if I tell you. Qi Zhongma and I are subordinates of someone."

Made Wei Qiao puff up with knitting brows and an astonished expression.

While Qi Xiangma's gaze was so mysterious in his eyes. "We are someone's messengers, assigned to kill Yi Changyin. Do you understand?"

Wei Qiao tried to understand his point. "What?"

"As long as you help and the plan works.. Yi Changyin will die and Xuan Chen will be yours." Qi Xiangma smiled mysteriously, showing a golden-adorned white plaque and engraving the word 'Dijun'. "How's it?"

Wei Qiao's face gradually showed interest in Qi Xiangma's offer. Slowly his lips smiled. "Yes, I'm willing.."

Flashback off

.......

.......

.......

The afternoon implied a tinge of orange in his sky. Flooding every roof and lush trees on the top of Tianjin mountain. Until the surface there looks mixed with orange.

Including with Xuan Chen's face that was in the orange glow of the sky. The man was still pacing back and forth in front of his dorm yard while chanting a few sentences from the scroll he was holding.

Not caring about his friends accidentally passing by while slightly interfering with his focus with ridicule. Some even say,

"Don't focus on learning. I feel sorry for your neglected lover."

Making him pause for a moment while looking at the man who turned out to be Zhu Guhuo cynically. While the man was even grinning while going inside.

Maybe his saliva has dried up. Xuan Chen decided to pull over. Sit in the nearest gazebo and drink the water available there.

But suddenly a letter tied by a red thread landed on the table. He looked up at the sky and found a dove that had just left.

Seeing the red thread, he became reminded of Yi Changyin. It was impossible for his cultivation level to not recognize that the red thread belonged to the moon grandfather. And in this academy only Yi Changyin had one.

With a smile that did not fade, he opened his bonds. Spread out the paper and read it slowly. Of course he recognized whose handwriting was scratched there.

"We met at the lotus pond bridge. I have something to talk about.."

"I'll be here soon." His whisper.

Xuan Chen widened his smile. He immediately stood up and put the letter into the bag of robes that every man wears. Then go into his dorm room. Still with his big smile.

.......

.......

.......

A woman's footsteps look very slow. Like just following the road but not knowing where to go. Some of her white dresses dragged the streets slowly. His hands were hanging and swinging. Then his eyes that were staring blankly, showed the unconsciousness of his master.

Yi Changyin continued walking towards the lotus pond bridge. But suddenly he stopped. Shaking his head that felt dizzy. After that, his eyes looked back to the front. He's wrinkled in wonder.

"Why am I here?" Ask yourself. Looks so dazed.

Yi Changyin shuddered his shoulders trying indifferently. As he was about to turn around to leave, his eyes caught two people standing across the bridge. Under a tree this spring.

He was very surprised to see the two people who were almost making out with such affection.

"Xuan Chen?!"
