Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 88 - Returning

"Hmm?" Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. He glanced outside and saw that the ladies were already excited to catch the white fox and moved near the fox along with their servants. Seeing that, he was speechless.

Ladies, a fox was still a wild animal. You should just leave the task to your servant if you don't want to get hurt. How stupid of them.

And sure enough. 

The fox disliked being close to others. However, its sharp nose smelled a familiar scent from a distance away.

"Come here, foxy!"

"Go away! This white fox in mine!"

"Scram!"

The ladies were all talked uncouthly as they wanted to have the white fox for themselves. Looking at the pure white fur, all of the noble ladies were tempted to have it. It was so beautiful!

Hiss!

The fox hissed. After circling around for some time, it suddenly pounced towards Long Xu Nian and then began to scratch.

Screams filled the field.

The soldiers quickly moved to help out. The clever fox naturally knew that it was in disadvantageous position as it quickly slipped away into the forest. No one knew where it went.

"Kill it! Kill that creature! Ahhhhhhhh, my faceeeeeeee!"

Nan Luo was watching as Long Xu Nian howled in grievances. He wanted to laugh but felt that it would be inappropriate. "To think that the fox would like Long Xu Nian too. How pitiful is that lady?"

Nan Hua didn't comment and only closed the window. Now that Long Xu Nian was angry, she would surely try to create trouble for everyone she saw. She didn't want to get involved when she finally managed to do something.

Of course, the fox disliked Long Xu Nian. After all, she had sprinkled some herbs powder to that Long Xu Nian when she splashed the soup. If the other party could do it, why couldn't she?

It was spring and naturally it meant that mating season would come soon. The animals were already sensitive enough and with the concoction of herbs that would attract it in Long Xu Nian's body, it would be a miracle if the fox was not attracted and attacked fiercely.

As for the merchant...

Nan Hua was not worried. The merchant would come to bring several white foxes to sell to the noble ladies. The one that belonged to the young master of the merchant family was still a small fox right now, so it shouldn't be the fox that created trouble just now.

But of course.

Nan Hua would never reveal this to anyone.

Time passed slowly.

Long Xu Nian's yell could still be heard as the young woman was so angry. There were not many medicine that could be used to treat her face and not leaving any scar. Even if there were any, would the Long Family spend the money to buy it for her?

She didn't know.

After the soldiers had finished settling the assassins, the carriages began to move back to the Capital City once more. Nan Hua turned to look at the forest in the middle of the route and noticed that the assassins who were hiding in the forest had long disappeared.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed that their target were really the noble ladies who came to Yi Shang Temple this time.

"Young Master, we're already at the gate right now. Soon, we'll be able to reach home."

"Good." Nan Luo looked at the gate and sighed. "The outside world is dangerous but the Capital City is also very dangerous. It didn't seem like there'll be any place where everyone can be save."
