Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 778: Shallow Fate and Little Fortune
"Mother!"

The woman with the fox tail looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes.

The old lady trembled slightly and asked, "Cuiyun?"

"It's me, mother." Cuiyun shook off her tears.

"My child, what happened to you? Oh, my child." The old lady was filled with grief. She clapped her hands on her thighs and cried in sorrow, "Cuiyun!"

The middle-aged man followed the noise into the house, but was so frightened that he shouted, "Monster!"

He stepped back again and again, dragging his mother's hand and walking out, saying, "Mom, that's a monster, that's a monster!"

The old lady had tears in her eyes, but she shouted, "Shut up!"

The man shook his head, looked at the old lady, and said, "Cuiyun is really a monster!"

The old lady looked at his helpless state and could only calm herself down. She turned around and pushed him out, saying, "Wait outside the door!"

"mother!"

The man knocked on the door twice, but didn't dare to knock again, for fear of angering Cuiyun and hurting the old lady.

The old lady saw Cuiyun still couldn't stop crying, but her heart calmed down. She walked over slowly and said, "My dear, why are you a fox?"

Cuiyun looked at her husband outside the door, closed her eyes, and couldn't stop crying.

The old lady asked, "Cuiyun, what's wrong with you?"

Cuiyun stood up with the help of the bed and said, "Mother, I am originally a fox. Ten years ago, my father brought me here and passed by. Because he was about to die, he gave me to you as a child bride and entrusted me to you. I am a fox and have suffered many disasters. I have been living in your home and have avoided many disasters. I am grateful for your kindness and treat you like my own mother. I have helped you to start a family and career. I wanted to serve you until the end of my life and give birth to a boy or girl for you, which would be worthy of our love."

"I didn't expect that my cultivation had been different recently, and my Qi was unstable. Then there was a violent storm and thunder, and I was struck by thunder, and my true form was revealed."

Cuiyun burst into tears, bowed before the old lady, and said, "Mother, Cuiyun's fate with you has ended. I am afraid I can no longer serve you."

The old lady treated Cuiyun sincerely. She helped her up, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Good boy, good boy, I don't blame you, I don't blame you."

"Mother, Cuiyun is unlucky."

The crying sound inside the room made the man outside panic. He immediately knocked on the door and said, "Cuiyun! Cuiyun!"

"Don't hurt my mother, don't hurt my mother!"

Cuiyun looked outside the door, feeling completely disheartened.

The old lady wiped her tears and said, "He is a bad guy. If you hadn't taught him and helped him, he wouldn't have had such a good life today. It's not that you are unlucky, it's that we are unlucky. We can't keep a good daughter-in-law like you."

"Go away, Cuiyun, go away!"

"Don't come back again."

The old lady cried and hugged her tightly, then let go, opened the back window, and said, "Cuiyun, let's go."

"Mother..." Cuiyun choked up and bowed, "Thank you for your care over the years. Cuiyun is leaving now."

The old lady burst into tears as she watched the dignified and beautiful woman walk to the window. She then turned into a fox with blood on its body and jumped onto the windowsill. She looked back at her, then jumped out of the window, landed on the grass, and disappeared.

The rain had not stopped yet, and the bloodstains on the ground quickly melted away, making the old lady feel heartbroken and guilty.

The man was still knocking on the door, but the old lady had already wiped her tears, opened the door, glared at her son, then looked at the servants and said, "It was a lightning strike and the fire happened. Unfortunately, the lady was injured and died."

"Did you hear that? If I hear someone gossiping outside, I won't let him off!"

"Mom..." The man came to his senses and looked at the old lady. He knew he had done something wrong and felt extremely guilty.

"Come with me!" The old lady grabbed his ear and led him to the ancestral hall as he begged for mercy.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Lock the door of the Madam's room and never open it again."

Gong Mengbi and the Five Ghosts watched this farce in the rain and sighed softly.

Mr. Huang said, "My Lord, I will go and invite that little fox lady."

"Go."

Mr. Huang turned into a wisp of yellow smoke and disappeared behind Gong Mengbi.

Gong Mengbi said: "Let's go too."

Several people left the mansion, and just as no one noticed their arrival, no one noticed their departure.

Gong Mengbi and the other four ghosts did not go too far, and Mr. Huang soon caught up with them, holding a fox wrapped in a yellow scarf in his hand.

"My lord, this little fox lady was injured by thunder, and because of great grief, her emotions were disturbed and she has fainted."

"Take her back. If you leave her alone, I'm afraid there will be two dead."

"One corpse, two lives?"

"She herself didn't realize it. It wasn't because her cultivation was different and her Qi was unstable. It was because she was pregnant that she couldn't completely restrain her Qi, and was sensed by the rain worker, which triggered the thunder."

"So that's how it is." Mr. Huang blew away the cold air in the rain and followed Gong Mengbi's pace.

As for Cuiyun's husband's family, they didn't think about it anymore. As the old lady said, they were unlucky and couldn't keep this little fox lady. The fate was over, no need to talk about it.

When we arrived in Wu Ning, the rain had stopped.

The rainstorm came and went quickly, seemingly no different from usual.

Gong Mengbi did not return to Fox Courtyard first, but went to Ruyun Peak first.

The little foxes that had taken shelter from the rain in the Chuyun Cave all came out. Shi Hua saw Gong Mengbi, bowed to him and said, "Brother Gong is back."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to go to Xiapi. I'll be back after I'm done."

Although Shi Hua didn't go to the Fox Courtyard every day, she went there quite often. After the little foxes from Ruyun Peak had developed their intelligence, they could be sent to the Fox Courtyard for training. Hua Jiu Shi Cha and the others also often appeared there, and the foxes all knew them.

Mr. Huang brought Cuiyun over.

Shi Hua was shocked when she saw this and asked, "Who is this? He seems to be seriously injured?"

Gong Mengbi said, "The little fox I met on the way back was struck by lightning and was seriously injured. She was also pregnant. I'm afraid the Fox Court is not suitable to take her in, so I was wondering if I could ask you to take care of her."

Shi Hua looked at Cuiyun carefully, nodded, and said, "I have never taken care of a pregnant woman, but I have taken care of many little foxes."

Shi Hua led Mr. Huang to settle Cuiyun in the fox cave on Ruyun Peak. After Cuiyun was settled, Gong Mengbi asked Shi Hua for help and stuffed the Leijing Pill into Cuiyun's stomach.

The slowly released thunder essence is different from the violent heavenly thunder. It is the energy of creation that is created by the combination of yin and yang and conforms to thunder. It is not common and contains great vitality.

Cuiyun was injured by lightning, but this pill alone can heal her injuries, and she will not suffer any loss even if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child.

"Don't worry, Brother Gong. I'll take care of her. She'll be fine. When she wakes up, I'll take her to visit you at Fox Court."
