After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

When Jiushuang found Jiang Chen, several hours had passed.

Her form had become extremely ethereal, and her ghostly qi was rapidly dissipating.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting cross-legged in an open space, quietly waiting.

Jiushuang approached anxiously, but after taking just one step, she stopped.

The belief that had sustained her through the burning of her body and soul was to see Jiang Chen one last time, even if it meant dying in his arms.

But now, she hesitated.

Glancing at her own body, she felt sorrow.

She was no longer the snow-white fox but a dark blue ghost fox.

Jiang Chen most likely wouldn’t recognize her…

Jiushuang asked herself.

What could she say if she went to see Jiang Chen now?

Apologize for her forgetfulness?

However, the harm caused by such events cannot be healed with a mere apology.

Moreover, it wasn’t just once or twice that it forgot Jiang Chen, but dozens of times across nine lifetimes.

Furthermore, if it were to truly apologize, it would have to admit to knowing about the ‘nine cycles of reincarnation’.

Jiushuang couldn’t do it.

It couldn’t because its own capriciousness had plunged Jiang Chen into the sorrow of nine lifetimes.

In this life, Jiang Chen was smiling happily.

It didn’t want to see again the lonely figure and the helpless expression of Jiang Chen in white.

In the end, Jiushuang did not approach Jiang Chen but leaped onto an ancient tree, lying prone on a branch, gazing foolishly at that black silhouette.

“Jiang Chen, you must take good care of yourself in this life.”

“This time, you don’t need to protect me. You need to protect yourself.”

“If one day…”

“If one day you remember that white fox from the Hengduan Mountain Range, go to the Enlightenment Tree and look for me.”

“Although I’m not buried there, that’s where we first met.”

“Jiang Chen…”

It murmured softly.

The voice grew fainter until it was sobbing uncontrollably.

It struggled to restrain the impulse to throw itself into Jiang Chen’s arms.

But it couldn’t.

It had been selfish and willful for nine lifetimes. At least in this one, it wanted to be sensible.

“Just to see you from a distance before I die would be enough…” it tried to convince itself.

That’s how it should be… that’s how it was supposed to be.

Yet at this moment, it felt heart-wrenching pain, as if being torn apart.

Time continued to pass.

As the ghostly qi dissipated, Jiushuang’s form became more ethereal, and its thoughts more blurred.

It dared not close its eyes, fearing that once closed, it would never awaken.

It tried to bite itself, hoping to stay alert by this means.

But…

“Jiang Chen, I’m tired,” Jiushuang finally whispered.

It didn’t want to give up, but time was up, and it could no longer exist in this place.

Suddenly, it remembered telling Jiang Chen that it wanted to marry him after Shape Transformation.

“Now that I think about it, you never really agreed…” Jiushuang said with a pale smile.

Nine cycles of reincarnation. Every time it brought up the matter, Jiang Chen would remain silent.

Now it seems that perhaps Jiang Chen was never sure of the ending.

After all, in the nine cycles of reincarnation, he was never the one to find happiness.

“If there’s a next life, even if you don’t marry me, I’ll stick by your side for a lifetime,” Jiushuang said with a forced smile.

With that, it could no longer hold on and finally closed its eyes.

Its world plunged into darkness, and a figure in white drifted further away in the void…

Just as it was about to lose consciousness completely,

“Little fox, we meet again?”

A familiar voice sounded in its ear.

Using all its strength, Jiushuang finally opened its eyes.

Tears streamed down its face.

Because there, right before its eyes, was Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had somehow moved from the distant clearing to this towering ancient tree!

At this moment, the words of Jiang Chen from the nine cycles of reincarnation echoed in its ears.

‘Jiushuang, it’s okay. No matter how many times you forget me, I will help you remember. No matter where you are, I will find you. No matter what you become, I will recognize you at a glance.’

‘Yes,’ Jiushuang felt moved.

This man before its eyes always helped it remember everything. He was always fulfilling his promises, never breaking his word.

In the nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen always found it after its Shape Transformation.

In this life, even if it wanted to be bad, even if it became a ghostly fox from the Nine Abysses, Jiang Chen still recognized it and found it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiushuang had never felt such happiness.

But this happiness was mixed with a deep sense of heartache.

It felt sorry for Jiang Chen’s foolishness.

Throughout the nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen had been tirelessly doing good, fulfilling his promises without ever considering himself.

In this life, even though he had planned to be bad, Jiang Chen still kept his promise.

It decided to get to know Jiang Chen again. And this encounter, this acquaintance, would never be forgotten by it, until death…

Wiping the tears from the corner of its eyes, Jiushuang smiled and said, “Yes, human, we meet again. What’s your name?”

“Jiang Chen, and you?”

“I had a name before, but the moment I saw you, I seemed to have forgotten it.”

“Strange fox, in that case, shall I give you one?”

“Sure! Whatever the name, I’ll remember it for a lifetime.”

“Alright, I’ll call you Jiushuang.”

“…”

Jiushuang was taken aback.

It had thought that in this life, Jiang Chen would give it a different name.

Unexpectedly, even if it was no longer the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, no longer the snow-white fox, it was still named “Jiushuang.”

“Why Jiushuang?” Jiushuang asked.

“You are the Nine Abyss Ghost Fox, naturally ‘Jiu (nine)’ is your surname. As for ‘Shuang (Frost)’…”

At this point, Jiang Chen pulled Jiushuang into his arms, gently stroking its fur and said, “I can’t be bothered to think of another one.”

Hearing this, Jiushuang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It wanted to complain, but it had completely lost the strength to do so.

The draining of its ghostly qi was making its consciousness blur once again.

It had thought it wasn’t afraid of death.

But now it understood… It was afraid.

Afraid that after death, it would never see Jiang Chen again, never be able to speak to him.

If possible, it wanted to accompany Jiang Chen through all the worlds to shield him from all enemies.

If possible, it really, really wished that after its Shape Transformation, it could marry Jiang Chen.

But at this moment, all that awaited it was death.

Even so, it had no regrets.

Because in this life, it could truly die in Jiang Chen’s arms while retaining its memories.

“Jiang Chen… you smell so good.”

Closing its eyes, Jiushuang murmured as if in a dream.

“Nonsense.” Jiang Chen composed himself.

“You’re no longer the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, how can you smell the goodness in a human heart?”

“But I can smell it, smell your goodness, your kindness, all of you.”

“…Weird fox.”

“Silly human.”

“…”

The conversation came to an abrupt halt.

Jiushuang completely lost consciousness, and its body, formed of ghostly qi, began to disintegrate.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly took out a blue crystal.

The crystal emitted a rich blue light.

Under the glow of the blue light, Jiushuang’s ghostly qi not only didn’t dissipate but became even more solid.

“Sigh…”

Jiang Chen sighed deeply, “Dog system, so this Secluded Spring Crystal is meant for this…”
