Book 14: Chapter 5
The huge fox napped on the ground in a curled up position to protect her child. Ling Yue’s belly bulged. Her child’s pulse inside her was noticeable. Although she was asleep, it wasn’t wise to approach her, she’d attacked with her sharp claws as fast as the speed of wind.
Standing from a distance, Nier looked at Ling Yue’s bulging belly from a corner and softly asked, “Ling Yue, aren’t you angry?”
“No.”
“That is correct. Miss Ling Yue will be giving birth in the next few days, right? Miss Ling Yue has been in a very bad mood recently. At night, she will often howl, waking us up. Further, she has been more aggressive as of recent. I would assume it is because she is about to give birth. I would advise against approaching her right now. Otherwise, she may hurt you. After all, she is highly vigilant at the moment,” Evelyn said.
Nier hesitated for a moment. Ling Yue wore a peaceful smile, bringing Nier’s pregnancy memories to the surface. Nier thought of how blissful she felt when she stroked her belly, and she thought about how eager she was for her husband to return to her side. Ling Yue most probably shared the sentiment.
The reason Ling Yue was so aggressive was due to her vigilance. She must’ve attacked everybody nearby out of concern for her child’s safety. If Troy was with her, she wouldn’t be so uptight; she’d most likely still be gentle. Ling Yue was ready to give birth, yet her husband wasn’t by her side. Instead, it was Nier who came to inform her how Troy almost lost his life and was taken away…
“Am I… being too cruel?” Nier asked herself.
Nier, who never spared a thought for anybody’s feelings, was now hesitant for the first time. She felt she should inform Ling Yue. Nier needed Ling Yue. Ying refused to help her, which meant Ling Yue was the only one who could defeat Vyvyan. Ling Yue could also absorb mana, and she was, perhaps, on par with Vyvyan’s mana once she accumulated mana. That being the case, there was a chance that Ling Yue could defeat Vyvyan.
Nier was conflicted; she couldn’t tell Ling Yue. Perhaps it was her sentiment as a mother that allowed her to think in Ling Yue’s shoes. She could comprehend how much despair Ling Yue would be overcome with if she heard something happened to her husband if she was Ling Yue.
