My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 91 - Goodbye, Mom (1)



By this time, Shen Minyao looked away. She could already sense the next scenes would be an emotional parting between mother and child. It wasn\'t like she found it distasteful, but it kept on being a rude awakening about how short human lives were and how foolish they were not to cherish the time they had with one another. It was only when they realized what they lost would these humans know and regret what they\'d missed.

Of course, the fox woman also understood how painful it was to lose someone helplessly. As she took a quick glance at Li Fei\'er, the fox woman wondered if she was given a chance to rectify her mistakes in her past life by preserving Feng Jiu\'s life this time. 

The sound of a bell coming from Li Fei\'er resonated within the room, and Bai Xinran immediately found herself being constricted by a blinding chain. However, she didn\'t dare to struggle to break free this time. She was more eager to have a word with her mother. 

Li Fei\'er continued with her ritual, while Jiang Chen started his chant, allowing Bai Xinran to communicate with her mother. 

"Miss Bai, it\'s time…" He informed her. 

"Mom, can you hear me?" Bai Xinran tried to call her mother once again. Unlike her earlier attempts, her mother reacted to hearing her voice this time. 

"Ranran? Is that really you?" Miss Xia tried to follow her daughter\'s voice, stepping forward. 

"Mom, you shouldn\'t step out of the circle. I don\'t want to hurt you," Bai Xinran reminded her mother. She was now a ghost after all, and she didn\'t trust herself at that moment. 

"Mom, I\'m so sorry. Sorry for the hurtful words I said to you in the past. I was wrong. I realized I should have tried to listen to you, to understand you."

Miss Xia broke down in tears upon hearing her daughter\'s apology. She fell down on her knees and cried helplessly. If she had doubts earlier that she was truly hearing her dead daughter\'s voice, she couldn\'t be mistaken this time. This was really her firstborn child, her beloved daughter. 

"No, honey. It\'s not your fault," she said between her sobs, "It\'s Mom who failed you, darling. I failed to protect your heart, and now, I lost you for good. There\'s nothing to apologize for, honey. I should be the one apologizing to you, Ranran. I was never there when you needed me." 

If she had come to see her daughter that day, would she be able to change the course of events that led to her daughter\'s death? Would she be able to stop Liang Sisi from harming their Ranran? 

Bai Xinran\'s heart broke, seeing her mother like this. To think that she was the reason why her mother was suffering… made her feel guilty. If it was in the past, she might have blamed her mother for it. Right now, the glaring truth that she was the one who failed her mother and made her wallow in tears made Bai Xinran realize what she had taken for granted in the past. 

"Mom, please don\'t cry. Both of us know that neither of us wants this to happen, but you have to let me go now. They already explained to me what could happen if I remained here for too long." 

Miss Xia lifted her face and extended her hand as if she was trying to feel her daughter\'s presence. She knew what her Ranran said was right, but as a mother, it was truly hard for her to let go of her child. 

The pain of knowing her child had died… it felt like someone had stabbed her right in her chest. Watching in silence as her daughter\'s remains were buried before her… there were no words to describe how painful it was for Miss Xia. 

Then again, she couldn\'t let her daughter\'s spirit stay here for too long. She might not be able to save her daughter\'s life, but she would preserve her daughter\'s humanity until the end. If the last thing she could do for her Ranran was to send the girl off peacefully, then she would do it, no matter how hard for her to accept later that her daughter was truly gone. 

"Mom, I\'ll be going now," Bai Xinran said as she noticed that her whole body was being devoured by blinding light, "Please take care of yourself and Little Yun."

"Ranran!" Her mother cried out, wanting to see her for the last time. 

The fox woman took pity on her and cut off the blindfold that was stopping Miss Xia from seeing her daughter for the last time. 

Miss Xia opened her eyes widely, only to see her daughter slowly disappearing into thin air with a smile on her lips. 

"Ranran." She covered her mouth and cried more. 

"Goodbye, Mom. If there\'s a next life, I hope I will become your child again. I will surely be a better daughter by then," Bai Xinran said before she disappeared into nothingness. 

Seeing that the ritual was successful, Shen Minyao stepped out of the bedroom. Although she was a strong demon, being exposed to divination still took a toll on her body. Ah, it seemed that Li Fei\'er was growing stronger these days. At this rate, it wouldn\'t take long for Li Fei\'er to know that she was a demon, the nine-tailed fox demon her whole family was looking for. 

"I know it was hard for you to stay inside. I\'m sorry." Jiang Chen followed her outside and apologized at once. 

Other demons would have perished at once after being exposed to the divination and cleansing ritual Li Fei\'er performed, but not Shen Minyao. If that was the case, then what kind of powerful demon was this woman? Jiang Chen wondered. 

"Hn. You think a simple ritual like that would be able to kill me? You must be underestimating me, Mr. Jiang.." She gave him a pointed glare.
