Venerated Venomous Consort

“About two months ago. Doctor Meng found out about it.”

Gu Xijiu seemed troubled by the revelation. Doctor Meng was a great physician, who was also a loyal member of Tianju Hall. Her examinations should be accurate. Therefore, Little Fox must be genuinely pregnant.

“Xijiu, is there something wrong?” Yan Chen was worried by Gu Xijiu’s troubled face.

After a pause, Gu Xijiu told him everything that she saw in the base of the Blue Fox family. She told him about Lan Yue and Duan Muyan. Pale-faced, Yan Chen was stricken with grief. He never knew that the Blue Fox family once belonged to inhabitants of another planet. Never had he thought that Little Fox’s family were the invaders who burned, killed, and pillaged his home. If the people of Tianju Hall knew about it, they would definitely take their anger out on Little Fox.

“Xijiu, why must Little Fox come with us tomorrow? If she finds out about the truth of her family, she will be so deeply saddened. She is pregnant, so I should try to keep her away from any extreme swings in her emotions.”

“Yan Chen, have you noticed anything abnormal about Little Fox in the past month?” Gu Xijiu finally broke her silence.

Yan Chen hesitated a little. “Nothing. She has been the same.” The only change was her attitude in bed, but that probably meant that she had become more mature. Moreover, her playful sexual attraction was nothing but a little spice in their relationship, which was something that Yan Chen was reluctant to share.

“How about your feelings? Do you still feel the same about her?”

Yan Chen could not answer immediately. “Should be,” he added a bit later on.

“Yan Chen, I want the truth. Don’t try to fool me. I need to know how you feel about her.”

Yan Chen remained silent for a while. He did not know how to start, but he did notice how turned-off he was whenever he was alone with Little Fox. He used to be so overwhelmed with a strong desire to touch and caress her, but things were different now. The only thing that he felt for her was responsibility. The overwhelming desire was no longer present.

“Xijiu, what are you trying to say? Please tell me,” he finally gave in.

Gu Xijiu hesitated a little but decided that he needed to know. “Lan Yue was not the only one that I saw in the base of the Blue Fox family. I also saw another woman who looked exactly like Little Fox. She was fatally injured, almost on the verge of dying.”

“She was dying?” Yan Chen exclaimed.

“Yes, her life was supported by a special herb. The family’s doctor asked if she regretted anything, but she did not answer. Before I left, I saw her crying. No one knew that I was there, so there was no need for them to put on a show just to entertain me.”

Yan Chen clenched his fists in disbelief. He caught the hint and asked Gu Xijiu in return, “Do you think that the woman is the real Little Fox? Is the one I have been seeing every day only an imposter?”

Upon uttering those words, Yan Chen quickly dismissed the thought.

Gu Xijiu continued, “Although the woman looked exactly like Little Fox, her temperament was completely different. More importantly, the woman that I saw was not pregnant. Or at least, she did not look like it when I saw her a few days ago.”

Realizing that she had dropped a bomb on Yan Chen, Gu Xijiu looked at him intently and said, “Yan Chen, you are her husband, so you are the one who knows her best. Follow your heart.”

She took another look at the moon and was reminded of a past incident. “By the way, do you remember that my soul was once placed in another body?”

“I do. Your body was taken over by someone else, while your soul was forcibly placed in a cloned body by Mo Zhao.” He suddenly stopped talking as the sudden realization had hit him hard.
