Chapter 998: Chapter 990: Second Brother’s Previous Life (Part 4)

However, his figure was nowhere to be seen. She anxiously searched all around, when suddenly, the once sunny, bright day changed.

The surroundings were engulfed in darkness, a thunderclap sounded, followed by a torrential downpour.

She searched all the way for her second brother but couldn’t find his shadow.

She could only shout to the dark sky, "Brother! I’m waiting for you to come home, don’t leave!"

The only response was her own echo.

This feeling was truly terrifying. She was scared, but more unwilling to let go.

She worried that her second brother was saying goodbye to her.

She lay down in a small cave in the forest, gazing at the starless night sky outside, lost in confusion.

In a daze, she fell asleep in a dream.

This time, she wasn’t dreaming but retrieving the long-lost memories...

Bit by bit, they became extremely vivid.

In a change of scene, she turned into a little fox, scampering through the jungle, incredibly happy, as if having no worries at all.

Just then, an arrow shot through the treetops, heading straight towards her.

Unable to dodge, she was finally pierced in the hind leg by the arrow, collapsing to the ground, convulsing in agony.

Then, she heard the sound of hooves approaching closer and closer.

Until they stopped beside her.

She opened her eyes, warily looking at the several men on horseback.

A subordinate flattered with a smile, "Congratulations to the third Prince for taking the lead in the hunt."

The third Prince laughed heartily, then looked at the flaming red fox, seeing she was still alive, immediately feeling his dignity challenged.

He picked up his bow and arrow again, aiming at her.

Whoosh——

The arrow was aimed at her. Just when she thought she was about to die, another arrow came from the side, striking the third Prince’s arrow, causing it to fall.

Soon after, a red-clad man arrived using Qinggong, cradling her nearly lifeless body in his arms, resting atop a tree.

He looked down at the third Prince, slightly raised his phoenix eyes, and curled his red lips, a voice of utter disdain, "The little fox already gave you a chance, you didn’t manage to end her life and still wanted to add another arrow, that’s not what a gentleman does."

"Just a mere General, and you dare discuss gentlemanly behavior with me? Do you believe I could accuse you of being an assassin and have you executed on the spot by the Emperor?"

The man laughed, "I really don’t believe it."

With a tip of his toes, he used Qinggong to leave.

The third Prince drew his bow, looking at his retreating figure, his eyes filled with malice, yet he couldn’t take action in the end.

"Damn."

Tiana lay in his arms, the pain almost claiming half her life.

She was merely undergoing a tribulation, temporarily transformed into a mortal little fox, unexpectedly nearly losing her life. Lifting her gaze to him, she just felt this man was extremely good-looking.

At a quick glance, she almost mistook him for a woman, but looking closely, he had a masculine air.

Jensen brought her into his home, took out a medical kit, saw her wilting, gently touched her ear, "Let me report to the Emperor, cancel the hunt, henceforth, you won’t have to fear for your life."

A truly beautiful and kind-hearted General.

She blinked, made a soft sound, expressing thanks.

This slight gesture made Jensen quiver, "You can understand me?"

She blinked again.

He raised his lips, his smile exceptionally captivating, "Indeed, a little fox with a spirit."

He rubbed her little head, "From now on, you’ll stay with me."

She blinked, very happily, rubbed her head against his hand.

"I can’t keep calling you Little Fox, let’s give you a name."

She tilted her head, she could only be considered a Demi Immortal, once she successfully transcended the tribulation, she would assume the Fox Immortal position, only she didn’t have a name yet.

The benefactor who saved her life always called her Little Fox and never thought of giving her a proper name.

Jensen pondered for a while, his phoenix eyes lazily twinkling, "You are so sensible, let’s call you Lorelei, how about the ’Yao’ from ’female demon’?"

She was immediately dissatisfied, baring her teeth.

What Lorelei?

She wasn’t a demon, in the future, she would become a little Fox Immortal.

At the very least, it should be called Julia, right?

Seeing she didn’t like the name, Jensen raised his lips again, "How about we remove the ’female’?"

Afterwards, he gathered many excellent herbs, treated her wounds, ordered the servants to feed her meat daily, and she gradually regained vitality, able to frolic about.

Regarding the name, she was still unhappy.

But it seemed that Jensen liked seeing her unwilling yet resigned expression, he raised an eyebrow, "Then let’s call you Tiana."

From then on, she had a name.

Tiana.

Tiana.

At first, she very much disliked the name and was fond of Julia.

But Jensen’s voice was so pleasant, always calling her Tiana this and Tiana that, and constantly giving her delicious food, over time, she got used to it.

Jensen was a General of the nation, victorious countless times, women who admired him filled the entire capital.

Unfortunately, Jensen had a woman in his heart, but that woman was the top performer who didn’t sell her body at a brothel. She was disillusioned by love, lost in the mundane world, refusing to believe any good men existed, and refused his offer to redeem her freedom.

Thus, Jensen was always left in unrequited love.

He usually behaved cynically, but at night, he always shared his inner thoughts with her.

Having listened for a long time, she made a wish, hoping Jensen and that woman could harmonize, as a way to repay her gratitude.

Soon after, the woman truly fell in love with Jensen and became his wife.

Jensen, being a General, of course, couldn’t be confined to romance alone. He held military command, something the third Prince had coveted for a long time, wishing to seize the military power and then force the Emperor to abdicate.

Therefore, he constantly employed various means, forcing Jensen to go to war, hoping that one day, he could die on the battlefield.

On this day, Jensen once again led the army to war, leaving only General’s wife Laura behind at the General’s mansion, feeding her, playing as usual.

Suddenly, the third Prince barged in, accusing Laura of being vicious-hearted, harming a prince.

Meanwhile, they discovered the thirteenth Prince’s body at the General’s mansion.

Tiana knew very well, it was all orchestrated by Leon Windsor, intending to frame the General’s mansion with a capital offense.

He not only wanted to kill Laura but also wanted to kill her, the fox.

After tying Laura up, he lured her out.

She couldn’t watch Jensen’s beloved die just like that, so she jumped out of the house, falling right into his prepared trap, and was then locked in a cage.

She could only glare angrily at Leon Windsor.

He sneered coldly, "Little beast, if it weren’t for Jensen who foolishly defied me to save you, the General’s mansion wouldn’t have fallen to such a state."

Laura panicked, she cherished Tiana dearly, aware Tiana was Jensen’s precious treasure.

Whenever she got a scrape or bump, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

Her consistently cold demeanor changed at this moment, "Third Prince, please don’t harm her, she’s just a fox, she understands nothing."

"Are you negotiating with me?"

Laura looked at Tiana, who was desperately ramming the iron cage for her, and closed her eyes, "As long as you let her go, I am at your disposal."
