Chapter 816: Fox.
The three-headed fox laid in the pit. It couldn’t stand up after being seriously injured.
“It can’t move. Let’s kill this monster together, so that it won’t harm Moon Worship Country after it recovers!”
No one knew who shouted that sentence, but this compelled the soldiers to come to their senses. They rushed at the three-headed fox and began to attack it with their weapons. In the blink of an eye, the three-headed fox turned bloody. The three-headed fox only whined and couldn’t fight back. It stared at Xiao Luo standing in the air, with no fear in its eyes, as if it had already regarded death as home.
“Stop, stop, stop hurting it, it’s the National Teacher!”
Funing rushed forward at the fastest speed, and looked at the three-headed fox covered in blood with red rimmed eyes.
The National Teacher?
This monster is the National Teacher?
The crowd gasped in succession, staring at the three-headed fox in horror. Everyone felt a chill running down their spine. Although the one in charge of state affairs was Her Majesty the Queen, the National Teacher was still the decision maker. That was to say, a monster had always been in charge of Moon Worship Country.
It had always been there, just assuming different identities. In the previous reign of the Queen, Funing’s mother, the monster’s identity was the Minister of General Affairs. The monster had always been residing next to the Queen.
“Your Majesty, that’s not the National Teacher. That’s a monster. Kill it quickly. We can’t let it recover. If it recovers, the country would be in great trouble,” cried a soldier.
“Yes, kill it, kill it!”
”
”
Everyone feared that the monster would harm people. It probably wouldn’t even spit out the bones after it snacked on them. To think that this monster had been controlling the lifeblood of their country since ancient times! It must be up to something. They couldn’t feel the slightest sense of security any more, they must kill the fox.
Facing the demand for her execution, the eyes of the three-headed fox filled with bitterness and despair.
“Don’t kill it!”
Funing silenced all the voices. “No one is allowed to touch it. It is not a monster. It is the National Teacher of Moon Worship Country. It’s my National Teacher.”
The three-headed fox directed its eyes at Funing and lines of tears trickled down from the corner of its eyes. Watching Funing defend itself, it couldn’t help giving a soft sniffle. The scene looked extremely sad. Even Xiao Luo frowned slightly as he slowly fell back to the ground.
“National Teacher, don’t cry, Funing will protect you and won’t let anyone hurt you!” Funing placed her hand on the nose of the three-headed fox.
When a soldier saw Funing reach over, she was frightened, “Be careful, Your Majesty. It’s a monster, it will hurt you.”
“I was brought up by the National Teacher ever since I was a child. How could she hurt me?”
Funing’s eyes were filled with conviction. After petting the three-headed fox’s nose, she gently caressed it. Tears poured down silently on her face. “The Moon Worship Country has a history of more than 1,000 years since its founding. For more than 1,000 years, our country has experienced happiness and prosperity. There has never been any major famine. The National Teacher has never hurt us. She is a saint of our country. How can you say that she is a monster?”
Her heartfelt words slammed into everyone’s soul like a truck.
Yes, Her Majesty the Queen was right. They never experienced any major disasters in their long history. The people were well-fed and living a happy life. Although the National Teacher was a three-headed fox in disguise, she had never harmed them.
“Don’t say that the National Teacher is a monster!”
At this time, General Zomon, covered in dust, stood out. She had fallen into a crack in the ground during the fight and was finally able to climb out. However, she had heard the cries of people wanting to kill the National Teacher. She hurriedly said, “When the first Queen went out hunting, she found and saved the National Teacher. In order to repay the kindness of the first Queen, the National Teacher vowed to be loyal to Moon Worship Country all her life and help all the subsequent Queens govern the country. Your Majesty is right!”
General Zomon’s words reminded many people of a story handed down from generation to generation. In the story , a little fox was chased and bitten by a tiger. When it was almost killed, a sharp arrow drove the tiger away. It was a woman who saved it. The woman then took the fox home and cared for it. Finally, the little fox recovered. By that time, the fox was no longer willing to leave the woman and made a promise to repay her kindness.
This was a well-known folk story in Moon Worship Country. No one knew how it was created, but it had been handed down from ancient times to the present.
Now that the people think about it, that woman is actually the first Queen o and that little fox is now the National Teacher.
Realizing this, the hostility in people’s eyes dispersed; they also put down the weapons in their hands.
The three-headed fox burst into tears when it remembered the first Queen. When she died, the National Teacher was just a little fox and didn’t know anything. The little fox stayed beside the first Queen in an attempt to bring warmth to her cold body.
……
……
In the end, the three-headed fox was not killed. Thanks to the good care of Funing and the citizens of Moon Worship Country, it soon regained its energy and managed to transform back into a human again. However, one arm was missing.
The Teleportation Array was located inside the National Teacher’s mansion. It was personally looked after by the National Teacher and it looked sparkling clean.
After being defeated by Xiao Luo, the National Teacher’s hostility to Xiao Luo disappeared, and even had a slightly friendly affinity with Xiao Luo.
“Do you know why I put the Teleportation Array here?” She asked.
She didn’t wait for Xiao Luo to reply and simply said, “Because it belongs to the Queen of the Light Family. It was her who taught me the cultivation method. She is my second benefactor, and I will protect the benefactor’s things with my life.”
Queen of the Light Family?!
The Duck Emperor and Gui looked slightly stunned.
Xiao Luo also frowned: “You said that the Queen of the Light Family has taught you the cultivation method?”
The National Teacher nodded as she walked to the window, “When the first Queen of Moon Worship Country died, I was just an ordinary fox. I didn’t know what happened, so I stayed in front of the Queen’s body. The Queen of the Light Family just happened to visit Moon Worship Country at that time. When she saw that I was loyal to my master, she taught me how to cultivate.”
The Queen of the Light Family was in a position far beyond normal people. She could only be viewed from a distance and not be touched nor profaned. Let alone ordinary people, even a Martial Senior would find it hard to meet her. To think that the Queen of the Light Family actually visited Moon Worship Country, it was really unbelievable.
