Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 179

"Mother!" Tushan Yu exclaimed anxiously. "You can't treat Father like this!"

Huhou remained unmoved, turning to walk out of the study, leaving the Fox Emperor in a daze, closing his eyes in despair.

At that moment, a guard from the demon palace approached the study and called out, "Huhou, the Demon Lord Nangong Yin's subordinate, the Celestial Blue Arrow Demon Feng Jin seeks an audience, claiming to come to apologize!"

"The Celestial Blue Arrow Demon..." Tushan Yu muttered to himself. "How dare she come to Qingqiu?"

The Fox Emperor was no longer concerned about this.

There's no greater sorrow than a dead heart. He sighed and said to Tushan Yu, "Qingshuang Residence lacks nothing. If so, let's leave now."

Tushan Yu was astonished. "Father, are you really going to Qingshuang Residence?"

The Fox Emperor's expression had returned to calmness. "You and I nearly caused a disaster this time, indulging for too long and losing our focus. We should reflect on this in seclusion."

Seeing Tushan Yu still reluctant, the Fox Emperor patted his shoulder. "You haven't seen how your mother was in her youth. She was the most beloved princess of the previous Fox Emperor, sharp-witted, brave, and capable. The position of Fox Emperor was originally hers."

"If she hadn't thought the imperial position too constraining and handed over power to me, you and I wouldn't be in this position today."

He understood best that while Yao'er was protective and often presented a dignified and gentle facade, she wouldn't lose face in front of outsiders. Many thought the Fox Emperor and Huhou shared a deep bond, leading to the belief that she willingly passed the throne to him. But that wasn't the case.

As a princess of Qingqiu, Tushan Yao had high standards; among countless demons in Qingqiu, which man could truly capture her heart?

She was merely constrained by her identity, forced to choose someone to marry.

He was fortunate to possess good looks and slightly superior lineage, along with a fair sense of integrity, allowing him to obtain this position.

However, he had enjoyed a comfortable life for too long. Huhou always displayed a gentle side before him, causing him to nearly forget the humility he felt when pursuing the princess, mistakenly believing their feelings were deep enough to withstand the tests of time.

Reality had proven that the princess was still the same princess; her brilliance would not fade due to a brief period of complacency.

When disappointment accumulated to a sufficient degree, the favors she once bestowed upon him could easily be taken back.

Retaining his position as Fox Emperor was already generous of her, a sign of their many years of marriage.

"We truly disappointed her this time," the Fox Emperor sighed, worried Tushan Yu might make further mistakes. "Yu'er, don't be so stubborn."

Tushan Yu had no retort and lowered his head, feeling downcast.

Meanwhile, Huhou had arrived at the main hall of the demon palace and personally received her guest.

Feng Jin stood respectfully before the hall, a few thorny branches on her back, her demeanor humble and deferential.

As footsteps approached, Feng Jin raised her gaze slightly and was taken aback upon seeing the visitor.

It was said that the Fox Emperor was uninvolved in governance, and she thought this visit would result in rebuke from him or the Fox Prince.

However, she realized that since the Fox Emperor had been ambushed and seriously injured after sealing the rift, Tushan Yu likely bore injuries as well, and thus the two wouldn't be present to confront her.
