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

There is no need to be confused, right? I knew what to do long ago when I first took over the three little ones to find a way out of the jungle.

Build a home in this extremely dangerous foreign world, protect the three little ones as they grow up, and give them a place to return to.

Amidst the heavy rain and the grey haze, she could clearly see a road. It was an extremely long road that she had walked step by step, and it would extend endlessly in the future until the moment when her mission as a mother ended.

And now, looking at the blurry figure staggering and running not far away.

In order to create a better future, we must first cut off the past.

#Don't stop! (laughs)#

ps: emmmm, two thousand five hundred words already. After considering the number of words that will probably be in the next chapter, I suddenly feel like I’m losing out. I clearly only wanted to write four thousand words, but no matter how I think about it, I’ll end up writing about five thousand words. I feel like I’m losing out. I want to cuckoo (dog head).

The next chapter will be a little later, maybe before half past twelve.

88. Having a daughter is enough

This was probably the heaviest rain Jiang Lan had experienced since coming to the other world. It had been raining for more than an hour and there was still no sign of it stopping.

It sounds like someone is crying.

It's not just the rain in the sky, the rain in my heart has never stopped either.

Lilith had a fever and injured her shoulder, and it was raining heavily, so Jiang Lan held her in his arms.

With one hand on the waist and the other hand on the legs, it was not a standard princess hug. Even so, Lilith's face turned a little red and her eyes became more and more hazy. It was only at this time that such an "exaggerated" look of emotion appeared on that seemingly expressionless face. Unfortunately, under the cover of the fever, Jiang Lan was unable to notice her little thoughts, and instead hugged her tighter and closer.

"Please be patient, Mona, Ako. Mom will go find an umbrella for you in a minute."

The magic from the other world was powerful but not clever. Although the protective magic that attached power to her body could block the rain, it had basically no scalability. It was already the limit to be able to shield herself and the injured Lilith from the rain. The rest of the large-scale protective magic was consistent with the operation method of the Originium on Mona's body, and they were all immovable barriers.

So now Ako and Mona were both being drenched in the heavy rain, and they had been drenched for more than half an hour while draining the Originium barrier.

There is no need to worry about Ako, who is physically weak, for now, but Mona, who is weak, will probably have a fever later.

"We're fine, Mom." Mona shook her head at Jiang Lan's words to indicate that she was fine, but her body was already shaking from the cold.

Oh, if I had discovered it earlier...

In his heart, Jiang Lan sighed heavily.

Her ears shook the water a few times, and she heard staggering footsteps approaching. Although it was raining heavily, she knew who the petite figure was at a glance.

"Lan, Sister Lan!"

Holding Jiang Lan's old umbrella, Meili saw the familiar fox figure and said with all her strength. Then she supported her knees and gasped for breath, inhaling raindrops and coughing continuously.

Seeing how wet she was, she must have used all her magic power to accelerate after she left, and didn't even bother to use a shield to keep out the rain when she ran over here.

"It's great that you're okay."

With a heavy crying voice, she wanted to throw herself into Jiang Lan's arms as usual, but when she saw Jiang Lan's slightly distant face, she seemed to understand something and stopped a few steps away.

She couldn't move forward any further. This was the distance between her and Jiang Lan.

If you do something like this, you will be strangers from now on.

It sounds like it's much better than the original expectation that the enemy's state would not be too much to be torn into pieces, but it is more hurtful.

"So, Sister Lan, you are so strong."

What she had never known was that Jiang Lan would be so strong that he could defeat the Duke's guards and take the three little ones out of the Earl's Mansion.

"That's awesome." He smiled with relief. It really, really made him happy that the person he liked was such an awesome guy.

She is happy even if the other person doesn't love her.

She didn't dare to go forward, but Azi and Mona called her "Sister Meili" affectionately and without any reservation.

Except for the mature Lilith, the two children had no idea what Mary had done in this incident.

"Merry, Mary, let me tell you, my mother is amazing. Just now..."

Jiang Lan held Yazi's shoulder and stopped her from continuing.

In response, Mary could only give a very forced smile.

"Ah, umbrella, open it quickly or you'll get wet."

Realizing that Mona and Ako were still getting wet, Meili handed over Jiang Lan's old umbrella, which had been emptied of its contents and was left with only an empty shell, and looked at Jiang Lan with pleading in her eyes.

"Mom?" In the overly cold atmosphere, Mona finally realized that something had changed. She murmured and looked up at Jiang Lan.

After all, she couldn't bear to be so cruel, so Jiang Lan pushed her over.

Mona breathed a sigh of relief and ran over briskly to take the umbrella and opened it. Although a few ribs were broken, it was still enough to keep out the rain, so there was no need to worry about it in such a heavy rain.

"Thank you for the umbrella." Jiang Lan said. She couldn't think of anything else to say except this.

"Sister Meili, let's hold the umbrella together." Pulling Yazi under the umbrella, Mona leaned beside Meili and asked her to hold the umbrella.

Let's go home together today, just like we always do.

Rubbing Mona's wet little head, Mary shook her head gently.

There's no going back, she.

In the heavy rain, slowly, slowly, Jiang Lan and the three little ones passed by Meili.

It was as if I had stepped from one world into another, a world without Mary anymore.

Her consciousness suddenly ended, and Meili turned around and looked at Jiang Lan's back.

"Wait..." I had a lot to say, but when I saw Jiang Lan looking back, this was all I could think of.

"sorry."

"No, actually if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the best way from your perspective."

Ah, that is indeed the best solution. It is the best solution that Meili could think of when she wonders if Jiang Lan is so strong that he can fight against the Duke's Mansion so easily.

She would even tolerate it if it meant Jiang Lan becoming her enemy.

For Jiang Lan, she can do anything and risk everything.

But all of that included the three little ones, and no matter how much Mei Lijiang Lan understood her, she could not forgive her.

After all, she didn't love her daughters. Now, Jiang Lan finally understood the meaning of what Stella said to her that day.

They are not good people to each other.

If Meili had not concealed the matter of the three little ones, her daughters would not have suffered this unexpected disaster. However, taking a step back, if Jiang Lan could be honest, Meili would not have concealed anything.

After all, they can't hide anything.

"I don't hate you, it's just that we are not suitable for each other. This is the end of our relationship."

Jiang Lan pretended to smile in relief, but she still felt reluctant in her heart, so she turned her head.

"Goodbye, Xiao Lanlan."

Hearing the familiar name again, Jiang Lan sighed and paused. As expected, she still didn't want it to end like this.

"How many times have I told you not to call me by that name?"

This familiar dialogue...

"Okay, I get it, Arashi-chan."

"Xiaohe-chan is redundant." It was the same complaint as usual, but this time Jiang Lan also said Meili's lines. "By the way, this kind of dialogue has happened 520 times."

"...So you remember it?" Mary covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud.

"Oh, I remember. So I haven't refuted you since then. I originally wanted to wait until we got married to say these things."

But there is no chance now.

"Sister Na Lan, have you ever loved me?" With a trembling voice, Meili was almost trying to suppress the throbbing in her heart that was about to burst out.

"Oh, I did."

Although she no longer loves him, it is enough. Tears poured down her face like heavy rain and joy surged into Mary's heart.

That's enough.

"And more." Jiang Lan waved without looking back. "I still say that, your eyes are too beautiful to shed tears, stop crying, silly girl."

In this way, all the past will be cut off.

The beautiful dream of love that I had always had was finally shattered.

Turn the corner and continue on your way.

Nestled in Jiang Lan's arms, Lilith actually felt frustrated about such an ending.

Although she had always been hostile to Mary because of her ill intentions towards her mother, she really didn't want to see them say goodbye in this way, which was heartbreaking.

"It seems like what my mother said that day."

"what?"

These are what Jiang Lan said when she was lying in bed that morning when she went to see Stella.

Lilith murmured as she hugged her mother tighter.

"In front of me is a broken sword, a road full of thorns, an unclear future, and a dream that can never be returned."

It was like a prophecy that everything came true in this heavy rain.

"That's true, but it doesn't matter." Jiang Lan smiled as she looked at the little, cute daughters in her arms and in front of her.

"If your umbrella is broken, you can fix it. If your shoes hurt your feet, you can find new ones. It doesn't matter if it rains heavily. If it's a dream..."

"I won't do it again when I wake up."

There's no need for love or anything like that now that she has a daughter. It's good enough for her to just stay with her daughter for the rest of her life.

In response, Lilith raised her head and kissed Jiang Lan's cheek.

As for dreams, one day she would let her mother do it again.

#Four sentences, four chapters, the end of a volume#

ps: The dialogue with Mary in the middle corresponds to the foreshadowing of Chapter 4. It’s a dialogue that ends as soon as it is said. Thinking back, I have been thinking about how to make Mary leave since then. She is really a stepmother.

Then tomorrow will be the last chapter of the volume, which will sort out and conclude the volume. After that, I will write a separate chapter to write some miscellaneous talks and the first volume will be officially finished.
