Chapter 117 Another Godmother
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The demoness tossed me my scabbard quietly. There was a distinct change to her expression. She appeared to feel more relaxed to know that I was not born by Mother. I caught the sheath and slid my sword slowly back into it and hung it over my back. The demoness, her eyes still fixed upon the sight of me and Edelweiss, lamented with envy. "Look at you! Kind and adoring towards each other! Look at your father! A block-headed fool!"
"Where is the son of the block-headed fool? Let us all have a look!" A yell came from outside just then. A group of people entered the cave, all wielding arms. The old crone leaped before us, blocking their way. "They are my playthings! Mine! Why should I allow you a glimpse of them?" She barked furiously. Behind her, I scowled, so I am now a plaything! I threw my gaze over the band of newcomers; a group of men and women that looked ordinary, until I recognized one of them! A woman whom I encountered when I was very young!
The wom

We began talking. The cave was where Godmother resided. She was roused from her sleep yesterday morning by the sound of gunfire. As a fox spirit who had drudged for centuries to achieve her current powers, she had only the deepest loathing for firearms. She left her cavernous lair and was just in time to witness me pushing Chongxi to safety when the avalanche fell. On the path through the mountains, there was a chasm which hung precipitously beside. The torrent of snow and ice had swept me off into the ravine as everyone could only watch in horror, except for Edelweiss, who threw herself off the cliff after me... I immediately glowered at Edelweiss, "What are you thinking of?! What help is there in jumping off the ledge to death yourself?" But my temper subsided as quickly as it came; I knew Edelweiss was being silly, only because she tried to save me, although it was an ill-advised move. It was Godmother who then climbed down the ravine and dug us out of
Once Upon a Time Chapter 119 Godmother's Past
Feeling emotions surging into me, I was touched by my companions' concern for me. My hand snuck into my pocket and gripped on my phone. I peered at its screen. But it was cracked. One more item to add to my loss this trip, I brooded. Time for another new phone. I smiled weakly to myself and lighted a cigarette. "I recognized a woman from the group of people who attacked us earlier," I said to everyone, "they had tried to abduct me when I was very young, and they failed. Seems like this time, they came prepared. This would mean that Aunt Ulan's soul is with them! But still, we know little of them and I am at a loss of what to do now." Lin Feng and Yuan Chongxi too nodded morosely. Not only we did not know why were they targeting me like sharks on a trail of blood, they seemed to know every bit of our movement. Godmother was puzzled to hear about Aunt Ulan and asked me about her. Sheepishly, I began telling her what happened between Father and her. At the e
Once Upon a Time Chapter 120 Three Centuries Ago
Once her elder sister left, Godmother immediately went to Murong Hai and told her about her sister's departure. To her shock, Murong Hai too informed her that he would be leaving soon. When would he return, the young Godmother asked him. Sadly, he would not be returning, said Murong Hai to her. Despite now being able to turn into humans, Godmother still retained much of her animalistic disposition. The notion of Murong Hai leaving frightened her that she blurted suddenly that she wished to be his wife. Murong Hai said nothing. He merely smiled at her and shook his head. But the snowy-white fox that had been draping over his shoulder opened its eyes at that very moment, sending a fierce and piercing glare at her. Fools do often rush in where angels fear to tread; ignoring the snowy-white fox, who undoubtedly wielded greater power and magic, the young Godmother pestered Murong Hai, begging him to bring her with him. Murong Hai declined at first, but in the
Once Upon a Time Chapter 121 The Truth About Mother
The truth struck me to the core like the deafening toll of a bell. "The one snowy-white fox who has, for centuries, never left Father's side? And the person who has been with Father for so long? That could only be Mother!" "How is this even possible! It was a fox who has been Father's companions through centuries and it has now been replaced by Mother! Could it be, that the white fox was Mother! Impossible!?" Everyone was gaping with disbelief at the revelation about the truth about Mother. Lin Feng's and Chongxi's jaws were hanging in a bewildered stupor. They saw the change in my expression as the very same thought that I had flashed through their minds. Then I remembered about Father's tale about his decimation of the Creed of the Eight Trigrams in his time, when he spared the weasel demon only because of its distant kinship to Mother. I was puzzled then because I was left wondering, what kinship could Mother be sharing with such an animal? Another mem
Once Upon a Time Chapter 122 The Massacre of the Foxes
Seeing the girls rushing into action, we too leaped forward and followed their lead into the cave. We were welcomed by the crackling of the flames on the torches that hung on the walls of the bowels of the cave at intervals, illuminating the path deeper inside like beacons in the darkness. I released my spirit wolves, and much to their surprise, the girls yelped and screamed with shock. It was the first time they had actually seen my wolves as their enormous opaque girths shimmered into visibility. This was only because the wolves were unleashed under the brightness of sunlight where they could not see them. I held up a hand to signal for silence and assured everyone that my wolves only act on my bidding. With a nod to my orders, my familiar spirits dipped their heads and sped off into the darkness. I looked at Lin Feng, who returned a knowing glance to me. With a swing of his arm and a steely swish, he brandished his whip, giving off with a glistening sleekness in the
Once Upon a Time Chapter 123 Forlorn Hopes
Yuan Chongxi's luopan was made of a block of wood from a peach tree that was struck by lightning. It was a sacred item immensely potent against ghosts and evil spirits. With hardly any shred of clemency, Chongxi slammed it down on the head of the powerless apparition! What an agonizing pain it must be for a soul to endure such a hit! The soul of the fox demon wailed pain achingly that I almost felt my a tug in my gut. "Is this not a tad too brutal? Should I just destroy it completely to shorten its suffering?" The rest of souls of its kin inside my Gourd heard her screams and began to tremble with fright that my Gourd began to shake and terrified groans began to emit from its uncorked mouth. The soul of the fox demon took several minutes, squirming painfully until it finally recovered. Surely Chongxi had not driven it into insanity, I hoped. The spirit whimpered between her intermittent sobs, "Show mercy, lord. I said nothing about hiding the truth... Ple
Once Upon a Time Chapter 124 The Mysterious Forest
The two dark and cadaverous figures drifted towards me and stopped. "Who summons us?" One of them spoke before they recognized me. With a quick change, they began to speak more amicably, "Oh! It's you, sir! So fate has brought us together once again! What is your purpose today?" Much to my amazement, it was the same pair of Hell Guards whom we had encountered after our adventures at the haunted hospital! I immediately released the souls of the fox demons from my gourd and told the two keepers of the Underworld about our fight. They were gleeful at the prospect for more rewards, bowing respectfully while wearing cheerful smiles as they muttered words of thanks before they left. The pair of Hell Guards had barely disappeared and Yuan Chongxi grumbled, "You should've asked the two Guards about the whereabouts of Aunt Ulan's soul while you're at it! They are the keepers of the Underworld. Surely they know a thing or two!" But before I could answ
Once Upon a Time Chapter 125 Malice at Midnight
The Shiyan Blade was a magical sword. It stirs and vibrates restlessly whenever it detects the presence of evil and supernatural entities. This made it extremely potent in comparison to the two other common-looking swords which were only special because they were imbued with Father's enchantments to ward off evil. But the Shiyan Blade, unlike the two other swords which will only warn me about the presence of enemies, would also alert me to any imminent dangers as well. The wind merely sustained for mere minutes before it gradually subsided. But the Shiyan Blade, still shuddering restively in its scabbard, did not stop cautioning me of danger! I picked it up with a frown of concern and grasped at its handle with a hand. Immediately, like a bolt from the blue, the tingling sensation of premonition assailed my senses! Sensing something wrong himself, Lin Feng raised a hand to motion for silence. "Quiet! Listen!" He said to everyone. Every voice
