After somehow getting scolded by the Moon Goddess, the Fox Queen who had lost to her emotions had calmed down completely. Even though she didn’t completely agree with the words the Moon Goddess had said, she also couldn’t forget some of the words she had spoken. This is especially true about the words of loving yourself first. Calling her foolish for loving full without leaving even a bit for herself. Using Divination even without proper preparations, isn’t that only seeking death? What is she trying to prove by using the techniques taught by the Immortal Star Emperor? That she is talented and that the blame that was placed on her head was unfair to her? They are no longer at the Immortal Star Empire, to whom she is proving something for?

It’s because she is thinking of that man who had thrown her away that her Mythical Fox Tribe can only stay at the Outer Haven even though she had his special ability and the natural charming ability of the fox tribe. She is even almost dying, and the previous divination had nothing to do with her or her tribe at all. Every single divination is all about the Immortal Star Emperor trying to break through the Star Protections the Immortal Star Emperor had placed on himself, which prevented anyone from using divination against him. All of these previous divinations of the Fox Queen had failed and her state had just worsened to the point that she is dying. It seems that the Moon Goddess didn’t call her foolish for no reason. She is indeed a love struck fool.

Cough. Cough~

Unknown to them, the dark clouds had gathered above their heads and the sounds of the rumbling skies echoes in the area. The Fox Queen looked at the accumulation of the dark sky with serenity. This is something she had expected and waited all this time. The formation around her temple is broken and she still used divination to check something about the Moon Goddess.

Rumbles~

"Heavenly punishment. This is my Divine Punishment," The Fox Queen looked at her son who was unconscious in her lap peacefully sleeping.

This is actually the first time she had seen her son’s face up close and clearly. She had been lovestruck for a long time and this child was born due to her duties as the leader under the increasing pressure from the tribe elders. Even though she had given birth to this child with the strongest man in their tribe, she actually did not love that man and the man understood it as well. Both of them didn’t force the family to be together. The man continues to be the strongest fox cultivator in the tribe and he had always been out on missions from the tribe, almost never coming back to the tribe. As if returning here was the most painful thing in his life. After all, he had a son and woman who gave birth to his child, but this woman didn’t have him in his heart and his son didn’t dare to approach him as Hu Yushan was afraid that he might no longer approach his mother and chose to ignore his father.

The Fox Queen stares at her son, almost ignoring the impending heavenly punishment about to fall to her.

"So this is what my son looks like. All this time, I was obsessed with the man who had never even once glanced at me within the crowd. Maybe you are right... I shouldn’t have forced my love on him and never should have thought that he would also love me like a dog. After all, love is something that cannot be forced. My husband King must have hated me. It was for this reason that he never chose to stay in the tribe. Because I am blind and ignore both him and our son."

"I, Hu Yuyao, is indeed a blind woman!"

She suddenly threw the fox prince, Hu Yushan, to the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor. Shen Jueyang caught the young man by his back collar catching the young man like a cat. He also nonchalantly glanced at the shadow area behind them with a meaningful glance and returned to normal as if he didn’t look at something from behind them.

Rumbles~

The thunderous sounds from above their heads worsened. By the Fox Queen as if she had given up had just looked at the dark sky with a smile. Her pale face was filled with tranquility and welcoming death. The First Elder Yao upon seeing the terrifying tribulation lightning gathering above the temple, she immediately ran back to check on their leader.

"Queen!!!" She shouted.

Boom!

Finally, the first strike of lightning had fallen on to the figure of the Queen of the Mythical Fox Race. The Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor didn’t make a move to save the Fox Queen as they knew that it wasn’t the time for them to make the move. As expected someone else stood before the sickly Fox Queen. It’s a fox with purple fur and eight tails on his back. It was another fox but this man looks a bit more like Hu Yushan and he is a Lightning Fox Ancestor. The current Fox King who is the legal husband of Hu Yuyao and Hu Yushan’s father.

The first tribulation lightning was blocked by this Lightning Fox King who stood before the Fox Queen who didn’t expect this to happen.

"You... You are... King Hu Raiki. Why?" The Fox Queen didn’t expect this man who she had never acknowledged would be the first man in her life who would save her while she is on the brink of her death.

The Fox King looked at her, even though his expression looked cold one would not be able to ignore the love he had hidden deep within his eyes.

"I am your man. If I do not protect you, who would?" Hu Raiki responded while preparing for the next lightning strike.

For tribulation, the more people join the heavier it would become. However, Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang don’t count this time. After all, she is already the Primordial Lightning Goddess and all lightning in existence bows before her. On the other hand, the Immortal Sun Emperor was also not targeted, he held the hands of the new Primordial Lightning Goddess and the Tribulation Lightning and the heavens itself didn’t dare to fall on him as he had Yue Xuexia by his side.

As more Tribulation Lightning falls on the Fox Queen, the more the Fox King blocks it for her. Of course, not everything can be blocked and the Fox King has a few artifacts to protect themselves which now ended up destroyed or broken scattered around them. Even Hu Raiki himself was now injured that he coughed blood and a few of his Foxtail was burned. The Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor just watch the scene coldly without much reaction.

First Elder Yao pleaded towards the pair who were watching the scene at the side yet unharmed under the range of the tribulation. She kneels down and kowtows before the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor.

"I beg the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor to please save our King and Queen!" She said.

However, only Shen Jueyang glanced at her and threw the young fox prince towards her.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Do not ask what you shouldn’t be. Don’t you see that the Tribulation Punishment had gotten stronger because your king had decided to save your queen. Once we made our move and tried to save them the heavens would turn them to ashes."

Upon hearing these words, the First Elder Yao trembles as she knew that the words the Immortal Star Emperor had said were indeed correct. She was helpless and could only look at the young fox prince in her embrace. If the two die under the lightning the only one who can lead their tribe is this little one in her embrace. Her tears couldn’t help but fall. They had luckily invited the Divine Doctor but who would have expected that their Fox Queen would be the one seeking her death. Using Divination while the formation around the temple is broken, isn’t that just seeking death.

The Fox King also jumped into the danger just to save the Fox Queen. Isn’t he supposed to hate their queen? How come he is willingly using his life to protect the woman who doesn’t love him? It was only at this moment that the Fox Queen and the First Elder Yao realized that the Fox King must have loved the Fox Queen or he wouldn’t have children with her. They should have realized sooner.

Most of the lightning was blocked by the Fox King for the Fox Queen. However, in exchange for that he is almost half dead and crippled. Half of his tail was burned and his whole body was covered with injuries and his blood pools under his feet; however, he had never once touched the Fox Queen despite what he had suffered for her. Meanwhile the Fox Queen, Hu Yuyao, was stunned. This is the first someone had stood up to protect her and the first one to risk their life for hers. She didn’t even notice when her hands were reaching to touch the man who stood in front of her and protected her.

"Why... Why are you... doing this!?" Hu Yuyao asked. "Why are you risking your life for me!? I am not worth it!"

The Fox King turned around and with a slight smile on the man’s lips he said, "I just love you. That reason is enough."
