Chapter 15 Waking up (1/2)

“I told you, there is nothing left,” the nine-tailed fox said in a low voice.

Qing Yu looked at the ruins, which were once her homeland and secretly clenched her fists.

“There is still one person left.” Qing Yu suddenly showed him a beautiful smile and turned around.

“What?” The fox did not understand what she meant.

“Emm, Jiubo,” Qing Yu held her hands behind her and said to him with a smile. “Can you come over?”

“Huh?”

“Just come a little closer,” Qing Yu said calmly.

The fox stood up, although he felt that something was strange, he still did as she asked.

One step, two steps, three steps.

He did not notice that he was walking towards the broken altar.

Sudden pain engulfed him. The nine-tailed fox roared, trying to break through the invisible power that restrained him, but that sharp pain made him unable to move an inch.

The fox opened his eyes with difficulty and found himself trapped in a blue halo. And right in front of him, Qing Yu was holding a fan and pointing it towards him.

Qing Yu had sealed his power.

She lied to him, lured him to this place and betrayed him.

However, at that moment, the fox forgot to feel angry.

She was crying. Tears, as shiny as pearls, raced down her cheeks. She looked extremely sad.

“Sorry, I’m so sorry… I’m sorry, I…”

She kept repeatedly apologizing.

“What are you apologizing for?” the fox asked in a low voice. “Though I’m not a human, I’m not stupid.”

Qing Yu raised her head in surprise.

“I killed your family and destroyed your country. How could you fall in love with your enemy?” The fox bowed slightly, and his pupil constricted slightly. “I know that you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to take your revenge. I understand.”

“I…” Qing Yu’s tears kept rolling down. She wiped her tears with her hand and calmed down. “The original plan was to use the magic array we prepared in order to seal you after the sacrifice ritual. However, because Yingchen made a mistake, our plan failed. So I’ve been thinking——”

“I see. So you managed to lure me back here to seal me? ” The fox said with his eyes closed and then he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Qing Yu. “However, I thought you would’ve understood that I’m too powerful for your magic to trap me.”

As he said, his pupils turned into a bloody red, and he began to struggle. However, surprisingly, he could not break out of the ensnarement.

“I know.”

The fox looked at her.

“I know.” There was a bitter smile on her face. “After all, I’ve lived with you for a long time, so of course, I know. But Jiubo, I know that you’re extremely powerful, and I wouldn’t be able to seal you just with this magic array. But I have demon powers as well, and if I were to sacrifice myself——”

“What are you doing?!”

For the first time in his life, the nine-tailed fox was so terrified of losing someone that he even forgot the upcoming danger he faced.

Qing Yu did not answer.

“Talk to me! What are you doing? ”

The nine-tailed fox let out a roar that could shake the world. But he still could not break the halo that trapped him.

All of a sudden, he felt some warmth. He found that Qing Yu had put her hand on his body and gently stroked him the same way she stroked him for the first time. She whispered,
