Chapter 1625 “State Teacher and Di Xiao Wan (4)”

Di Xiao Wan originally planned to only give a helping hand before letting the fox go, however, the unsteady way it moved after taking the medicine only reaffirmed her kind heart. She just couldn’t leave the little guy alone when she knows he wouldn’t be able to make it on his own in that state.

Fine, just this once since he’s also a fox….

Without further thought, she quickly leaned down and picked up the little guy to head home. She’s got no more business around this area and wanted to find something else to do, yet her luck wasn’t going to play along. Right as she’s heading back to her own quarters in the main path, she accidentally bumped into State Teacher who was also heading over to another spot for business.

“Princess.” Behind came the familiar gentle voice, which made the girl all stiff and rigid in the back due to the awkwardness of the encounter.

“You need something of me State Teacher?”

Not missing the timid note in her voice, the man walks up without any hesitation: “Are you hiding from me?”

“I….” Flickering her eyes left and right to avoid contact, Di Xiao Wan didn’t dare speak the truth: “I did not.”

“You don’t have to hide from me, I just don’t want to continue looking at your back all the time. If you accept my feelings then I will ask the king for your marriage, but if you disagree…. I will still continue to protect you for the rest of my life.”

“That…” she bites her lip, “Can you let me think about it?”

“Mmm, I’ll wait for you.” Undeterred and not let down, the man who has always held up a fairy like image wanted to shove a little harder by getting closer when he saw the fox in the girl’s hand. Getting a sinking feeling: “This fox is….”

“I found him on a hill outside the palace, he’s hurt, and…. I don’t believe he has any powers yet. I brought him home so he can recuperate in a better environment.”

“Can you give him to me?” State Teacher fixes his sight on the little critter, “I’ll take care of this fox for you.”

Di Xiao Wan did not think much of the idea and easily threw the patient over. She’s never been much of a thinker so whatever underlying meaning there was remains a mystery to her.

“I don’t have much experience in caring for others so I’ll leave him in your care.” After saying this, she immediately hightailed it out of there due to not being able to confront this man whom she considered better than a older brother.

Watching that disappearing back, State Teacher only shook his head for the tenth time today. Smiling bitterly at his own pitiful self, the guy then shifts his attention back onto the white fox. The demon princess may not realize this, but he does, this creature wasn’t of the Demon Realm. The danger it posed remains unknown, but there’s no way he would allow such threat to remain by the girl’s side. In the meantime, he would be the one to care for him until they figured out the origin of this fox.

As if to confirm his suspicion, the white fox suddenly whimpered somewhat after realizing he’s been left behind by the princess. It’s strange in the way it stared at Di Xiao Wan’s back. Towards this behavior, State Teacher didn’t miss it one bit and flashed a cold glint in his eyes. It’s almost terrifying compared to his usual gentle face shown to everyone.
