Book 12: Chapter 41
*Pant… Pant… Pant…*
Nier panted heavily. Ling Yue licked the wound on her leg. Her blood trickled from her wound. Ling Yue lay to the side. Her fur had become somewhat messy. Nier’s sword was still stuck in her leg. The victor of the duel had been determined.
“Why did you make my husband stand at the front when you can fight so well? Why didn’t you drive them away with this form of yours?”
Ling Yue narrowed her eyes, and then snorted: “Because I had no intention of fighting that time. I was planning to flee. I can’t just transform whenever I like, either. I need to have an adequate amount of mana to transform into this form. I won’t transform unless I need to save my life.”
Ling Yue slowly reverted back to her small size. Nier’s long sword dropped onto the ground. Nier watched the huge fox transform back into the small girl. She had to deal fatal wounds to her limbs to bring the fox down and incapacitate her. Ling Yue didn’t actually intend to kill her. It was very obvious that Ling Yue was holding back when she counterattacked.
However, Nier felt as though her body was falling apart after getting whipped once by her tail. Fortunately, Ling Yue wasn’t being serious, because if she was, Nier would most likely be dead right now. Nier knew that it would be very difficult for her to win against Ling Yue. She wasn’t confident she could hit her, while she knew that she’d die if she got struck.
Ling Yue swung her tail around and frowned a little as if her tail was annoying her. She walked up to Nier’s side to pick up her clothes and slowly get dressed again. She looked at Nier with her eyes narrowed, “Miss Nier, can you help me do up the tie at the back of my dress?”
“I’m not your maid!”
“Can’t we be friends?”
