39: Nan Zhisui clarifies the truth
"Ahhh!!!"
The pack of wolves chased the two Females; Fox Heart screamed as she ran.
Though she was a Priestess, her combat skills were poor, and the Wolf King soon bit her neck.
Fox Heart was dead. Just like that.
Hu Zi was terrified seeing the blood spray from Fox Heart's neck, her eyes widening.
Hu Lie was also stunned seeing Fox Heart die. "Grandmother!!!"
The Wolf King carried Hu Zi in its mouth to Nan Zhisui. Nan Zhisui was quite busy; she stepped on Hu Lie and pressed Hu Zi down in front of White Fox!
Hu Zi said in fear, "Nan Zhisui, I was wrong, please let us go. It wasn't our fault, it was my Female Mother, she made us do it. We were forced!"
"Forced?" Nan Zhisui sneered.
"Speaking of which, you deserve the most credit for bullying my beast husband and cub for all these years!"
Nan Zhisui pinned Hu Zi to the ground!
Hu Zi raised her hands in fear, "I, I, I, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please, forgive me, forgive me..."
Nan Zhisui said, "How about this, I'll give you a chance to leave an intact corpse."
"Ahhh, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Nan Zhisui pressed down on Hu Zi and said, "Speak! Five years ago, what exactly happened!"
Hu Zi wet herself from fear, really wet herself. She cried and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."
"After you sent White Fox and Hu Qi back to Stone Village, you had to leave because of an emergency. You couldn't bear to say goodbye to White Fox and his son, so you gave the supplies to my Female Mother and asked her to take good care of them."
"But because my Female Mother wanted to obtain the Ancient Bloodline of the father and son, she told a small lie, saying you abandoned them and sold them... She did it so they would be completely disappointed in you and return to Stone Village. But White Fox was never willing... no matter what..."
Hu Zi wailed as she spoke.
"I've said everything, I've said everything, let me go, please let me go!"
White Fox leaned weakly in Hu Qi's arms and looked up at Nan Zhisui.
So that was it... She left temporarily?
She hadn't abandoned them, hadn't sold them?
So that was it... Little Hu Qi's eyes lit up!
He was right after all; Mother was so good, she wouldn't sell Father Beast!
Nan Zhisui was shocked.
Fox Heart and Hu Zi's family were actually so devoid of conscience??!
"Let you go? Your mother and beast husband are both dead, aren't you going to accompany them?" Nan Zhisui applied force.
Hu Zi cried intensely. "No, no, no, they are them, I am me. They can all die, but I am a Female, a precious Female, I can't die! Nan Zhisui, I didn't want to, everything was done by my Female Mother, not me, not me!"
Nan Zhisui felt it was meaningless. She said, "I actually felt a bit of admiration for a Female like your Female Mother, Fox Heart. But for a Female like you, I only find it pathetic."
"Your Female Mother dared to take all the blame and retribution on herself. But you, clearly you did everything, yet you dare not face the consequences. You are incompetent and useless!"
"Talking to you feels like a waste of time."
"And you!" Nan Zhisui looked down at the ten-year-old cub, Hu Lie, under her foot. "You don't think you're innocent too, just because you were forced to inherit the Ancient Bloodline, do you?"
Hu Lie gritted his teeth.
Nan Zhisui laughed, "Fox Heart was really unlucky, the ones she worked so hard to help turned out to be these two things."
"But, the two of you are not only accomplices but also executioners. Furthermore... you know too many secrets that shouldn't be known. So, there's no choice. You both have to die."
Nan Zhisui exerted force, Hu Zi's neck snapped, and she tossed the body aside.
Hu Lie suddenly struggled to counterattack, but Nan Zhisui reacted instantly and crushed him with her foot. Hu Lie died on the spot!
Double kill!
White Fox clutched his wound and slowly stood up, extremely weak.
Nan Zhisui washed her hands with alcohol nearby, then approached White Fox with her hands raised.
"White Fox, don't move. I need to stop the bleeding and suture the wound."
White Fox coughed twice and said weakly, "It's no use..."
"It's not useless, it's just an external injury! And I can treat it!"
White Fox gave Nan Zhisui a fragile smile.
"female master..."
"White Fox, save your strength, don't talk for now!"
"In the future, don't... leave me again... okay?"
"White Fox, I won't leave you. I'll take you wherever I go!"
The Male Fox Beastman's hand fell, and he closed his eyes.
The corners of his lips were slightly upturned.
"Father Beast!!!!"

Nan Zhisui performed the suturing surgery on White Fox.
"It's okay. White Fox, hold on, I can save you."
"I've saved so many beasts. There's no way I can't save my own beast husband!"
"White Fox, hang in there, hang in there for me!"
Nan Zhisui's tears fell drop by drop.
She didn't have a free hand to wipe them, so Hu Qi's trembling hand wiped them for her.
Her hands shook slightly, but she controlled them to finish the suturing.
Once the suturing was finally done, Nan Zhisui immediately checked White Fox's breath.
In truth, she knew the wound taking White Fox's life wasn't Hu Lie's claw strike, but the price of using his Bloodline power twice in a row!
The price White Fox paid for using his power was indeed immense!
Little Hu Qi knew about Father Beast's Supernatural Ability and that the price for using it was huge.
That was why Hu Qi kept crying.
"Father Beast, Daddy!!" Hu Qi knelt on the ground, tears flowing. "Mother, Daddy isn't going to make it, he's not going to make it."
He possessed the Heaven-Defying Ancient Bloodline of the Fox Tribe. At age ten, he awakened as a Six-Pattern Beast General and also awakened the Supernatural Ability, Overwhelming Seduction.
But his body couldn't handle his power, so he never dared to show it.
Even though he didn't use it, the activated Ancient Bloodline cultivated on its own. So at age eighteen, he was promoted to a Seven-Striped Beast King.
His Physical Body simply couldn't bear his Ancient Bloodline. He never dared to use his ability, fearing his body would collapse.
But today he used it twice in a row; his body had collapsed, and his life was fading... "Father Beast!!! Dad!!!"
"White Fox!"
Nan Zhisui quickly checked his carotid artery and felt his pulse.
The situation was very bad.
Nan Zhisui immediately performed chest compressions, attempting CPR.
"Father Beast, Father Beast!" Hu Qi was crying.
Is it no good? Is this it?
Is it really over?
No!!
She wasn't resigned; she refused to accept this!
She felt like she had overlooked something. She must have overlooked something... What was it?
Right, Fox Heart. Fox Heart was meticulous; having arranged such a big scheme, she must have had a backup plan or further preparations.
A flash of inspiration hit Nan Zhisui. She shouted to Hu Qi, "Aqi, go search Fox Heart's body. See if there's anything..."
After saying it, Nan Zhisui felt it was inappropriate to let a 5-year-old cub search a corpse. Just as she was about to go herself, she saw Hu Qi run to Fox Heart. "Mother, what do you want me to look for?"
Nan Zhisui was momentarily shocked.
A five-year-old cub taking charge early; for the sake of his Father Beast and Female Mother, he could actually overcome his psychological barrier to search a corpse.
This was her first time raising her own cub, and she indeed lacked experience.
She had overlooked such an important thing as a child's psychological state.
Nan Zhisui felt a deep sense of self-reproach.
When she looked up at Hu Qi with apology, she saw the little cub looking back at her as firmly as a man.
Nan Zhisui was stunned by Hu Qi's gaze.
How did White Fox raise him to be such a strong five-year-old cub!
Since the cub could stand his ground, she couldn't step in now to interfere with his choice and growth.
While marveling at how extraordinary her cub was, Nan Zhisui continued:
"Look for something! See if she has anything on her, like a book or something!"
