Book 14: Chapter 45
Ling Yue gave her daughter, who had assumed her human form, a kiss and softly giggled. Her daughter looked back at her and, in a vague voice, called, “Mommy…”
The Moon Fox Tribe’s children developed very fast in comparison to elves and humans. She was able to speak in just a week’s time. That was because wild beasts didn’t have time to gradually develop. Liu Yue would quickly grow up; her time as a child would be very short. She’d be able to walk in about a month’s time.
Ling Yue had tears of joy and excitement in her eyes, because she was called ‘mommy’. She tightly hugged her child. She wagged her tail around with bliss and excitement. She softly replied, “Honey, Honey, Honey… Mommy is here. Mommy is right here. My Liu Yue, you’re so cute. So cute.”
Liu Yue’s hair colour was a gradient of colours. Underneath her ears that were the same as her mother’s, was her hair, except, it was different to her mother’s. It gradually changed between black and red. Her hair was black at the root, but gradually changed to red at the tip. She inherited her mother’s tail, though. While Liu Yue was just a child at the time, her face already took on a beautiful frame. She was two generations after them, but she had Vyvyan and Elizabeth’s beautiful genetics. Ling Yue was also pretty, so Liu Yue’s traces of beauty were already visible.
“Daddy… Daddy…”
Liu Yue desperately tried to poke her head out from her mother’s embrace in an attempt to look around. The Moon Fox Tribe viewed family with great importance. Familial love and the value of family were deeply etched into the genes of children of the Moon Fox Tribe. As such, children of the Moon Fox Tribe immediately began searching for their parents as soon as they were born, for the reason the tribe was a very small and weak tribe to begin with. Consequently, they had to band together to ward off foreign enemies and the dangers of nature. Ling Yue would rather not give birth until her husband returned to her side for that reason.
Ling Yue’s child was born after many challenges, but her husband still left her and her child. Liu Yue searched for her father. Ling Yue meekly lowered her tail. She closed her eyes and leaned her head down to give her daughter a kiss on her cheek. Her voice was soft and shaky when she explained, “Daddy is out working. He’ll be back very soon. Don’t worry, my Liu Yue. Daddy will be back. He will definitely be back.”
“Daddy… Daddy… Daddy… Mommy… Mommy…”
Liu Yue appeared to be able to understand what Ling Yue said. She clapped her hands with a smile. She looked at her mother, who spoke with a lisp. Ling Yue spaced out. She looked at her daughter’s eyes that were very similar to hers and her husband’s. She looked at her daughter’s bright smile and took in a deep breath. A few teardrops gently fell down onto Liu Yue’s face. Liu Yue was puzzled.
