Just Because I'm Not An Ordinary Girl

Chapter 44 - Legendary Kill, HE'S MINE

"No... not this one... I need one... that will make me look like... like..." Fengjiu shudders on which word to use to describe what she wants. "More... like... Dijun?" Muyun finishes her sentence for her. "Yes!" she exclaims. Muyun goes into the closet to look for another outfit that is more dominant. She finally takes out the bright red court dress that has a long train. "Little Highness, what do you think of this one? I think this is what you were looking for!" Muyun asks.

"Yes! That's....the one! Quickly, help me... change into it!" Fengjiu hurryingly says. Muyun starts to help her change into it. Muyun's eyes widen when she sees Fengjiu's wound on the chest. "Little Highness, your wound looks really bad. Are you sure you don't want Zhonglin gege to go get Medicine King to look at it first? Dijun would be worried if he saw you like this." Muyun worryingly asks while helping her get dressed.

"No... I'm fine... we don't have much time... I need to see Dijun." Fengjiu says with a lot of difficulty as the pain in her heart starts to hurt her more each time she says a word. "Okay, Little Highness. Please stop talking, I know it must be hurting a lot." Muyun sobs out. "If only I cultivated more when I was younger! Then I wouldn't have to watch the ones I love or care about get hurt! It's my fault!" Muyun cries out. Fengjiu pats Muyun's head and wipes the tears off her face.

"Muyun, I heard of what you went through when you were younger. You don't have to blame yourself for any of it. Now you have all of us here in TaiChen Palace. You also have the whole Qingqiu as well." Fengjiu comforts her, then her eyes land on the side table beside the bed. "Muyun, do you want to see your parents again?"Fengjiu asks while warmly smiling at her.

Zhonglin and Muyuan hold onto each side of Fengjiu as they walk to the court hall. She walked as fast as she could to reach there. She didn't want the trial to be ended, not yet, not until she see, that Donghua is okay and unharmed. Deep down inside, all she is really worried about, is that whatever that ritual was supposed to do, hasn't taken effect yet. Or she has already broken whatever it is with her blood.

As they reached the outside of the court hall Fengjiu hesitated on, going in. She's afraid to see... afraid Donghua is harmed... afraid everything went wrong. "Little Highness, are you okay? Are you able to handle everything?" Zhonglin worries as he knows she is injured. "Zhonglin... I need to go in. I need to see with my own eyes that Dijun is okay!" Fengjiu struggles to speak out.

As they try to proceed in, the guards in front of the doors stop them from entering. "How dare you all try to barge into the court hall!" one of the guards rudely says. "How dare you all block the way of Dihou!" Zhonglin scolds them and the guards drop to their knees begging for forgiveness. As all the guards beg for forgiveness, Fengjiu hushes everyone because her sensitive ears pick up the noise from inside.

"Tea... cher... I did nothing wrong! I was just trying to get what belonged to me back. What wrong do I have? I've been by your side all these years serving you. You had feelings for me when we first met! Otherwise, you wouldn't have saved me. You had feelings for me otherwise you wouldn't keep coming to see me every few years and stayed with me for a while. I know you had feelings for me, otherwise, you wouldn't have wasted your powers and cultivation to help control the poison in my body. I know you loved me! If that... If that... that stupid fox... and those... foxes didn't bewitch you, you wouldn't have dumped me and didn't care about me anymore!" she cries out while pointing to the Bai family.

Upon hearing Jiheng's cries, Fengjiu's anger rose within. A purplish crimson aura surrounds her. She lets go of Zhonglin and Muyuan's hands. She didn't need any more support. She summons her Taozhu sword as she opens her palm. Muyuan and Zhonglin never have seen Fengjiu this mad before in their life. The sweet Little Highness that they knew was gone. What is left is an angry fox queen. The person standing in front of them right now is just a copy of Donghua Dijun from three years ago in the trial of Zhihe who tried to kill Fengjiu.
