I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

That group of people was an insurmountable mountain for her.

What follows is the scene where Jiang Lan fights against six people alone, chopping down the mountains that had just stood up in his heart and mind one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.

A rainy night, a fox, a sword, a back view, and a dream.

She did not close her eyes as her mother instructed. She wanted to see, so she opened her eyes wide and opened and closed her mouth unconsciously. Only then did she understand.

So this is the concept of being strong.

So she couldn't fall in love with her mother like those two bad guys Mona and Lilith.

That's not quite right. She likes her mother, but she can't fall in love with her.

Longing is the farthest distance from love.

A little girl who loves martial arts and dreams of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts one day, she only has such longing and love for her mother who is gentle at all times, but extremely fierce and sharp in desperate situations.

After popping the bubble that stopped in front of her, Yazi pursed her dry and pale lips.

It turns out that what she has always longed for, the desire buried deep in her heart, is power?

But why, when I came to this conclusion, my heart felt so empty?

She was clearly looking forward to gaining power.

The bubbles kept flowing, and she met all kinds of people in her life, Stella, Alice, the master who taught her sword skills, the adventurer who told her stories in the tavern, Gwendolyn...

Gwendoline...

Ah, it turned out that in the distant past, she had really seen her and experienced such a thrilling thing with her.

The bubbles stopped again, that was what happened after she died and was reborn.

He stood up for Mona who was being bullied, but was covered in a cloth bag by a senior and beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

Sitting by the windowsill facing the light, her mother applied medicine to her wound bit by bit, her eyes gentle and calm.

"As for those boys who laid hands on Mona, Mom went door to door to ask for advice. Those who dare to bully our daughter will have to pay a price. But Yazi was also wrong. Don't be so impulsive in the future. You are still too young. Leave the physical work to Mom."

"Uh-oh."

"Why are you so unhappy? This is not like you. Come on, smile."

So Yazi grinned.

"My face hurts..."

"Poof~" Jiang Lan burst out laughing in an unruly manner. The gentle mother image was all fake.

"Mom, am I useless and unable to protect anything?"

"Ya Zi is great. She can help her mother throw away the garbage, wash the dishes and sweep the floor. She is amazing."

"That's not what I want. No matter what, I can't beat others. I want to be as strong as my mother."

She wanted power.

"Become like me? I'm sure Ako can."

"Liar."

Wanting a positive answer, but then pouting and feeling depressed after getting the positive answer, this is what children do.

"No, if it's A-Zi, it's definitely possible. You're Fei..."

Jiang Lan paused, shook her head and smiled cutely.

"You are my lovely daughter."

"What kind of answer is that?"

She pouted to express her dissatisfaction, but then she grinned because of the stinging pain on her cheek, and while she grinned, she was stabbed hard again.

My face hurt, and at the same time, my heart felt stabbed.

"Mom, I really still want to become stronger and have power."

"Eh? Is that all?"

Raising an eyebrow, Jiang Lan wrapped the cotton yarn for Yazi and asked about Yazi in return.

"What is just like this?"

"Didn't I teach you? There is always a reason between what you do and how you do it. My lovely daughter knows what she wants and is working hard for it, but why?"

Yazi has the blood of the demon flowing in her body. That night in the Duke's Mansion, Yazi watched her kill people without blinking, and instead felt excited and behaved extremely lively. This made her clearly realize that Yazi was the child with the most obvious demon blood among the three daughters. So for her, Jiang Lan has done a lot of persuasion along the way.

It was the same then. As the most important mother in her child's growth, she played the role of guide well.

"Why are you obsessed with power? Is it really just because you want power and seek it?"

“Is that the right thing to do?”

Seeking power for the sake of power, is that the right thing to do?

What exactly do you want?

Lixia's words echoed again.

Everything seems to have returned to the starting point, but it also seems to be getting closer to the answer.

#What is Ako's wish?

ps: A chapter with a bit of stream of consciousness?

There will be three updates today. The next chapter will be around 12 o'clock, and it will be around 2 o'clock when everything is finished.

I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Last night, after updating, I watched the Japanese drama "Shitamachi Rocket". It was so good that I wanted to sleep in the middle but was woken up again. I watched it until about 1 pm and fell asleep. I only slept for a short time at noon and was woken up by the noise of my roommate. As a result, I am not in a very good mental state now. This part of the plot is quite important and I don’t want to be perfunctory. So I will skip it today and make up for the sleep. I will update tomorrow after I have recovered my spirit. Sorry.

234. Two people facing each other

In addition to Jiang Lan who was rushing all the way, there were also people in the ruins under the library who were paying attention to Yazi's situation.

My heart moved slightly, and the long-standing stable constraints were partially broken.

"Hey? Did the child break free from the seal?"

"What seal?"

"In order to allow my daughters to live in human form, I put a seal on them since they were born, but it has been broken now."

"You have a really bad taste in pushing your own children into a desperate situation."

Raising one sleepy eye, Haskell yawned, but there was nothing to worry about.

"The bond between Alice and Ako was something I hadn't anticipated. I just forgot that she would appear there, but now that the seal has been broken, I don't have to worry about it."

"What do you mean by unexpected? I don't see how you care about your daughters by handing them over to Jiang Lan, that fox who kills dogs like flies, to raise them."

"Hehehe, you still hold a grudge against Jiang Lan, the reason why you entrusted your daughters to her. This is the story after you were sealed."

"Well, even if it's the signature Queen's laugh, it's not pretty at all with such an old face and voice. It just makes people want to have sex."

"Shut up, you damned dog!"

Being hit on the sore spot, Ursula kicked Haskell in the stomach, stepping on her head and tail, causing the hairs on her body to stand on end.

"It hurts so much. Wait, have you gotten older again?"

"Really? No."

Although she denied it flatly, Haskell seemed to have some understanding when he saw Ursula, also known as Philomena, had more wrinkles on her face and her body became more hunched.

"You..."

A woman who has given birth will be stupid for a thousand years. All mothers are like this.

------------------

Passing the casual chat with Jiang Lan, time went back a little further, and what stopped in front of her was the desperate fight with mummies and ghosts in the alley not long ago. To be honest, Yazi was still scared after that, and would be awakened by the memory at night. That was probably the moment when she felt the approach of death the most.

At that time, her desire was the most urgent, and she desperately wanted power.

But he was also regretting why he had risked entering the alley and putting himself in danger.

It is stupid to throw away your life for someone who has nothing to do with you.

Looking at it again, my heart is filled with fear and regret.

Yazi suddenly understood.

What you want.

Did she really want to save that orphan child?

I have always wanted to be a partner of justice and protect others, but that is just an appearance.

The real thing is: if you can't even protect an ordinary child like this, how can you protect the things you cherish?

From the narrow escape in the church to the despair and helplessness in the Duke's Mansion, it turned out that the seeds had been planted at such a young age.

Ako, she is greedy for everything in the world, her interactions with Mona and Lilith, her encounter with Alice, the daily bullying by her, the emotional ups and downs during their interactions, and the gentle smile her mother shows to them all the time.

What she wanted was to protect all of this, to protect what she cherished.

So she needs strength.

Such words came from the bottom of my heart, and the still time began to flow again.

All the beauty was shattered like smoke. All I saw before me were endless corpses, the life-threatening moment of being pierced by thousands of arrows, and myself pretending to be fearless but with trembling legs and feet.

If I die, everything will be over, and all the faces and smiles I cherish will be shattered like the memories just now.

She was afraid of dying, so she wanted power.

The bone arrow pierced into the chest, and the ultimate desire in the heart was finally awakened.

It was a vulgar and unbearable wish without a trace of lofty ideals.

Helping the weak and standing up for the weak have always been excuses for her to comfort herself, to show herself strong and to hide her true self.

But no matter how she tried to cover it up, after the brief few seconds of despair in the Duke's Mansion, a timid and cowardly self had already taken up residence in her heart.
