Little Fox // Lee Minho

mission fail ?

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ

The demons lord words kept playing in her mind all day, the next day as she continued her search for the whisps of his soul.

Exhausted she sat down on the ground. "You're not very good at playing doormat." A voice commented and she turned to see none other then Minho standing all mighty.

"No better then you." She fired back and he chuckled. "You're amusing little fox. The only who dares talk back to me."

She looked at him. "So I've been told." She said and then sighed. "Having some trouble?" Minho asked as he sat down next to her.

"No one told me it would be this exhausting to find all the whisps of primordial spirit and how many there are." She whined.

"I'm surprised you're even managing to find them. Usually that's only possible if you have a piece of they're spirit already or something heavily embodied with it, a treasured item."

Yuqi looked into the distance. "You must've been very close to that person. But you should know that not everyone is capable of being revived no matter how much you want it to."

"He will, he's the strongest person. He will come back to me." She whispered and Minho sighed and placed his hand on her shoulder.

His eyes widened as a flash of memories came rushing to him. He blinked a few times and looked into the distance.

"You're a fool Yuqi."

She swung her head to look at him. "What?"

Minho chuckled and caressed her cheek. "I'm saying you're a fool to travel back to the past for me, little fox."

"I-, you know?"

He nodded. "Just know when I touched you, my pearl reacted and synced my present memories with my past self." He shrugged.

"It's not foolish, you didn't deserve to die. I'm not fit to rule the demon clan you know. That's your job, even your father believes you're the right person for the job."

Minho looked confused. "My father? He's never believed in my ideas and found me very foolish."

Yuqi shook her head. "You're wrong about that. He wanted the same, he just didn't think the way of achieving it was how you wanted it to happen. You were always meant to rule the demon clan, fate made it that way. Your father knew and always believed in you."

Minho shook his head. "That old man really is something." He chuckled before intertwining their hands together. "Come let me show you the city, it was never quite the same after I came back."

She nodded with a smile.

"I can't believe I'm hanging out with an old man." Minho looked at her. "I'm not that old."

"You're thousands of years old while I'm only a couple of hundred! You are old." She stuck out her tongue and giggled.

"Touché." He shook his head with a smile. They walked around the market and Minho bought her many trinkets."

At night they returned to the mansion where the demon Lord was already waiting for them. They both bowed to him.

"I see you've connected with your future self. It won't last and Yuqi you only have 3 days left before you need to leave."

"I know, I think I'm close to having them all but I can't really tell."

"The dragon pearl will glow when it's complete."

"Oh I can feel it already. It's close." She smiled happily and Minho smiled at her. "I'm going to wash up." She bowed to them and left.

"Son, you picked a good woman. Better marry her when you return. She would turn the world upside down for you."

He looked at his father. "I'd do the same for her." He nodded at him. "I'm proud of you son, what you've achieved."

Minho's eyes widened before he smiled at his father. "I told you I'd be able to do it."

He chuckled. "That you did indeed."

The portal opened and through it stepped Yuqi clad in a black with red dress. Her eyes held a sense of darkness to them. She stepped through accompanied with the zhuie in tow.

Everyone's eyes opened in shock, ready to fight. Yuqi waved her hand and shut down the trap. "There's no need for that now. They won't harm you, unless you make an enemy out of me."

"Yuqi?"

She held up her hand. "You shall address me with my title given. Demon Lord until Minho returns. Changbin come with me. The rest shall wait in their rooms until summoned."

"The zhuie shall stand guard." And with that Yuqi walked to the room Minho was in with Changbin following her along and Hyunjin too.

"Tell me the ritual."

"Yu- er, my lord what happened in the past?"

"I succeeded if that's what you're asking Hyunjin. I just need to make them see, I'm not to be messed with. I need them for the ritual and I need there to be no room for any backstabbing. This is the peace we must preserve."

Her icy eyes landed on Changbin. "Now tell me, I won't ask you again."

"Yes my lord, you need xxxxxxxxx." (I'm too lazy to think of shit she needs okay 😔)
