Chapter 38 Part 1 — (1/2)

Feng Lingran's clear eyes were cold and indifferent, not even a single trace of regret. The little fox gave up all hope in its heart, the corner of its mouth pulled into a bitter smile. Heaven's plans suppressed the man's intentions. The little fox had guessed the beginning of the story, but never guessed the ending. Feng Lingran… was actually… wishing for it to die…

Xiao Xi closed her eyes. It doesn't matter anymore, he was a human, she was a fox, their paths are different. Why should she still hope for his favor? Dying like this was also a good thing… if she could transmigrate back, that would be even better.

Feng Lingran took in the little fox's hopeless expression, his fingers slightly clenched, but didn't reach out to rescue it.

The little fox fell onto the black panther's head, rolling down, she ended up directly in front of the panther's mouth. If it opened its mouth, it could easily swallow this unlucky little fox.

The little fox was ready to die, its fluffy body trembling as it lied in wait for it's death. Though after a while, it still couldn't feel the expected pain. Slowly opening its eyes, a sudden wet, cold thing touched its back. Frightened, the little fox's hind legs sprung upwards. Like a cat, its body arched and its fox eyes revealed a fierce expression, cautiously staring at the black panther.

Even the black panther was startled with this abrupt change.

Feng Lingran's cold black eyes flashed, his lips turned into a fleeting smile.

The black panther didn't attack the little fox, but calmly observed it instead. Its tranquil blue eyes were intimidating, but compared to when it was brawling with the male lion, its eyes were more gentle now.

Feng Lingran turned and walked away, the sound of fading footsteps were something the little fox was able to hear clearly. Swiveling its head around, it saw Feng Lingran's indifferent figure leaving. The little fox's heart was frozen stiff, it really wanted to chase after him, but… then what? He doesn't want her anymore and even allowed the black panther to eat her. Seeing that the black panther didn't want to eat it, he turned and left instead. He was simply fed up with her and wanted to leave her in this place.

The little fox was deeply disappointed. Blinking a few times, something fell from its eyes.

A wet and cold thing touched its back again. The little fox knew that the black panther was licking her. Did the panther want to check if it was fragrant or not, before eating the little fox?

Feng Lingran's footsteps slightly paused. Inclining his handsome face to the side, he clearly surveyed the black panther's actions from the corner of his eyes. His slender fingers inside the sleeve concealed an icy weapon, only until the black panther extend its paw to draw the little fox closer to its chest, did he put away the weapon.

Feng Lingran once again turned around and walked towards the little fox. Kicking the black panther's paw away, he lifted the heartbroken little fox, and carried it away in his arms.

The black panther immediately stood up. Roaring behind Feng Lingran, it rushed closer towards them. But how could the panther, be Feng Lingran's opponent?
