The Fox Goddess - Chapter 394 A Big Choice For Lian
“Ahhh… Is that so? I’m sorry, it must have been hard for the two of you. I wish I could be there when you guys were hunted by Andrew’s men. Especially for you, Ayame. You are pregnant at that time.” Vantil deeply apologized with deep regret in his tone, everyone could feel the sadness and regret in his tone. Just hearing it makes some of them feel sad about Vantil’s story, the pain that he must have felt when he couldn’t do anything when his most precious friends get hunted down by their evil enemies.
“You don’t need to feel sad about it. Everything turned out alright, right?” Ayame shrugged it off like it was nothing, but somehow, Yuki could feel the awkwardness between the two. And when she put all of the things that she heard from Vantil and her Mother’s story, it was clear that Vantil has some feelings toward Ayame that was definitely beyond friendship boundaries. Yuki then begins to theorize that the reason Vantil leaves the Celestial Star Heaven to go rule the Mystic Dragon Heaven is for Ayame’s sake, either he believes that Ayame might grow some feelings for him when he comes back successfully, or he wants to numb the pain that he was feeling when he saw Ayame with another man other than himself.
“So it’s like that huh? Mother, be honest with me. If I am correct, this man tried to pursue you before but got rejected by you.” Yuki spoke without no mercy in her words, and her words stabbed where it hurts the most in Vantil. This only made their current situation more awkward, especially for Ayame who was the main issue of the topic, but if there was one more affected person, it was strangely Serene. She was getting angrier and angrier by the second, she hate this conversation because she also knows that Vantil also has some feelings toward Ayame back in the day. But at that time, Ayame was pretty dense and didn’t know about their feelings even though the two were trying to race to win her heart, but in the end, they were beaten by Andrew. None of them expects Ayame’s heart to be captured by a random man that they met. Though Serene took the news much better than Vantil, she hid her pain from being heartbroken and still stayed beside her, but she finally left when she couldn’t handle the two of them being together.
“Let’s not talk about this now, Yuki. Don’t we have to talk about Lian’s succession to the Throne?” Ayame tries to sway the conversation away from them. It was a very awkward topic for her because she only realized Vantil’s feelings when he vanished from them and Serene explained why. Seeing that her Mother doesn’t want to talk about it, Yuki didn’t pursue the matter anymore and shrugged it off like it didn’t matter to her anymore. But that doesn’t mean she would not try to learn everything about it, she would like to learn it when the time comes, it just this time was not the most appropriate one.
“Alright, I won’t pursue this matter anymore. Vantil, right? I have a question for you regarding Lian’s throne, I hope you can answer me truthfully. What will happen to the rest of the rulers? The rest of the Rulers, what would happen to them?” Yuki asked with all seriousness and just from question alone removed all of the awkwardness in the air. It took a different course as this would relate to the future of everyone.
“Nothing would happen. They would still be the one who is going to be the ones to rule over their Race. But of course, Lian would be the one who has absolute control over everything. They won’t lose their authority as no one is higher than them other than the God that is residing here but we know that they don’t care about their issues. But now, all of that will change because Lian has succeeded to the throne. She now has the right to control the Kings/Queens of each Race, but that is not all. Lian will be the one to also rule over the Gods in here. But please, don’t be pressured little Lian. Kaiser would be here to help you, he would give you all of the information that you would need.” Vantil happily explains as he turns towards Lian and begins to explain everything that would change, as he finished explaining what would be the major changes that were about to happen, he brings out the Red Box and pulled a ring out of it.
“Here you go, you have all the right to wear this. This is my Spatial Ring, it holds everything that I got in my whole Life. The Treasures inside of it can even lead the people in the Celestial Star Heaven to be envious of you, but I’m telling you this now. While you still are not Divine Beast, you are protected by the rules of the Immortal Heaven where the Gods are not allowed to mess with you, but it would be a different matter if you become one. If you become one, you can now go to the Celestial Star Heaven. So, while you are still young, be prepared that, Kaiser would not always protect you at all times.” Vantil said some very heavy words. But it was understandable why he is saying all of this to Lian, as it would be better while it is still early.
“I will not disappoint you, Master! I will try my utmost best to become someone you can be proud of.” Lian said as she clenches both of her hands tightly. Even though she became afraid when she heard Vantil’s words on how the Gods of the Celestial Star Heaven can become envious of the treasures that she would be getting, that fact alone brings so much danger to life. But she was safe for now because of the Law that was in the Immortal Realm, but that Law wouldn’t be able to protect her forever.
“That is a good determination. With all of that said and done, I will not get to the reason why I came back here. I only have maybe 10 minutes before I disappear forever.” Vantil said but he took a quick pause to look in Ayame’s direction, no one saw what he did. But it didn’t escape the eyes of Yuki and Serene. Yuki’s reaction was nonchalant, she really didn’t care about Vantil’s feelings toward her Mother, because of two reasons. One, he is already dead which is something he cannot change, but maybe he has the chance if he asked for Serene’s help, but she highly doubts it, as Serene is the second reason. There was no way Serene would let Vantil let be close to Ayame.
“I will let you choose right now that will change your fate, this is related to your training to be a great Goddess in the future. Your first choice is this, you will be able to get all of my battle experience in the whole of my life, but be warned choosing this option might not be the best for you. Because even if you have my battle experience, if we have different battle styles, it not would help that much. The only things that would be good are your reaction time and others that you can get through the experience. The second option is that Kaiser would be teaching you whenever you want. His experience is just great as mine, his battle prowess is one of the greatest in the Mystic Dragon Heaven.” Vantil explained thoroughly as he waits for Lian to make a wise decision. He already laid out everything she needs to know about the two option that was given to her, it was now all up to Lian, but he hopes that she makes a wise decision that she wouldn’t regret in the future.
Lian looked at the people behind her to maybe get a piece of advice from them, but almost all of them avoided her gaze because this was something she needs to decide by herself. And when her eyes met with Yuki, she almost averted them instantly. But stopped when she heard Yuki talk.
“Experience is something you cannot easily get, you need to experience it yourself, it wouldn’t count if you didn’t experience it. That is why it is called experience…” Yuki said and closed her eyes and ignored her after saying a few words. It was the best advice that she could give her, and it was now up to Lian if she wants to take her advice or not. There is also a reason why she said this, even though she also didn’t follow this advice and gave Mio (The New Goddess of Mortal Realm) her experience in fighting, it was kind of different in some ways.
Mio would still be able to learn Yuki’s experience, but that was through assimilation, it was going to be practical. It was nothing like Vantil was about to do where he would inject his memories inside of Lian. Hers was different, if Mio would like to learn it, she would need to feel them herself and that is through experiencing it herself, feeling the pain and everything.
