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

After many years, the two reunited once again.

They repaired a house next to the Enlightenment Tree, which had been burnt to ashes by the ghostly fire.

Jiang Chen practiced his cultivation daily while the little fox watched by his side, her face brimming with a blissful smile.

Occasionally, she would ask why Jiang Chen worked so hard.

His answer was always to save others.

The little fox didn’t understand.

She couldn’t grasp why Jiang Chen, despite being misunderstood and blamed, still thought about saving others.

But she never stopped him.

Because she always knew that Jiang Chen had never compromised with the heavens.

The influence of the heavens still lingered. She had to burn herself with the ghostly fire every day to stay lucid and retain her memories.

Yet she had no regrets.

Because only with Jiang Chen did she truly feel alive.

……

Until one day… she suddenly remembered everything.

She remembered her grandmother, her clan, and the Enlightenment Tree beneath the Hengduan Mountain Range in the Central Domain.

After meeting the fated one, the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox wouldn’t forget again, but it was also difficult to recall the past.

Yet, strangely, she remembered everything.

She remembered growing up by consuming the flesh and blood of her clansmen.

She also remembered her grandmother saying that her clan was waiting for her to save them.

If she defied her destiny, her clan would suffer another catastrophe!

She even remembered her vow, her goal to save her people and not let her grandmother’s efforts be in vain!

At that moment, a difficult choice lay before the little fox.

Her clan or Jiang Chen… whom should she choose?

To save her clan, she had to return to the side of the fated one.

If she chose Jiang Chen, she wouldn’t just be unable to release her clan from their seal, but she might also bring them disaster again!

She was madly in love with Jiang Chen.

But if because of this, she neglected her clan, her grandmother’s advice, and her sacrifices…

Did she even deserve to be happy?

Such a choice was too cruel.

Cruel enough to drive her to suffocation and despair…

From then on, the little fox lived in agony every day.

She continued to resist the influence of the heavenly way, but her resistance weakened every time she thought of her clan and grandmother.

She still watched Jiang Chen practice every day, smiling naturally and happily.

But in the dead of night…

She would look up at the sky, murmuring over and over again.

“What should I do…”

……

Time passed, and the little fox’s condition became increasingly erratic.

She sometimes asked herself if she was Jiushuang or Bai Ling.

She became capricious and unreasonable.

Again and again, she demanded that Jiang Chen marry her.

But Jiang Chen always responded with silence.

The little fox understood.

She knew Jiang Chen was aware of her troubles and didn’t want her to make a regrettable decision under such circumstances.

But she really didn’t know what to do!

She couldn’t abandon her clan, nor could she leave Jiang Chen.

Because both were more important than her own life!

Jiang Chen noticed the little fox’s thoughts and her odd behavior.

But even though he was determined to be a good person and never owed anyone anything, he couldn’t push the little fox towards Lin Feng.

Because he knew better than anyone that the little fox still couldn’t save her clan.

Before she grew her ninth tail, she would die at Lin Feng’s hands.

This reality was even more cruel.

He couldn’t and didn’t know how to tell the little fox, so he could only sigh and remain silent.

In the end, the little fox still couldn’t make a choice, torn between her own resistance and the influence of the heavenly dao.

She felt her soul being ripped apart, and over time, she developed another personality.

One is Bai Ling.

Bai Ling was charming and compliant with destiny.

One is Jiushuang.

Jiushuang was gentler, only wanting to stay by Jiang Chen’s side.

At first, Bai Ling’s personality only appeared occasionally.

However, as time went by, Bai Ling gradually took control, and only when she thought of leaving would Jiushuang awaken from her slumber to stop her.

Years passed in the blink of an eye.

A group of cultivators entered the secret realm, led by Lin Feng and others.

Using his red thread, Lin Feng found Jiang Chen and the little fox’s whereabouts.

Seeing the little fox and Jiang Chen living together, Lin Feng was furious, feeling cuckolded, and angrily attacked.

Jiang Chen was no match for Lin Feng, and at the critical moment, Jiushuang’s personality emerged again, stopping Lin Feng from delivering a fatal blow.

Looking at the little fox standing in front of Jiang Chen, Lin Feng was enraged.

He was the Son of Destiny!

The fated one for the Nine Heavens Mystic Fox!

But now, the woman who belonged to him had not only been taken away by Jiang Chen but was also protecting him!

“Bai Ling! Come here!” Lin Feng shouted loudly.

At this moment, the little fox was in her “Jiushuang” personality and naturally remained unmoved.

Still, after a moment, she couldn’t control herself and instantly lost control of her body.

She could only watch helplessly as the personality of Bai Ling took over her body and moved to stand beside Lin Feng.

“Jiang Chen, do you see?” Lin Feng laughed wildly.

“She is Bai Ling, not Jiushuang! I am her destined one! And you, you are nothing but a stepping stone for me!”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen’s expression turned desolate.

Unable to control her body and only able to watch, Jiushuang’s heart twisted in pain.

She regretted it deeply. Regretted her lack of resolve, which allowed fate to take advantage and strengthen its influence over her.

She hated herself for breaking her promise.

Because she had clearly said that she would always be with Jiang Chen and that she would marry Jiang Chen.

But the result… she had cruelly stabbed Jiang Chen right in the heart!

“Others may not know, but I am very clear,” Jiang Chen suddenly staggered to his feet while staring at Lin Feng.

“If I kill you, the red thread will break! Jiushuang will be Jiushuang again!”

“Heh, kill me? Just you?” Lin Feng sneered.

“Perhaps I can’t right now, but next year, will you dare to fight me? This battle will decide both victory and life or death!” Jiang Chen retorted.

“No need for next year. I can kill you right now!” Lin Feng’s eyes hardened.

He was ready to make his move.

But seeing that his Destiny Fox state was not right, struggling in his eyes, he ultimately changed his mind.

“Fine. I’ll let you live another year!” In the end, Lin Feng sheathed his black blade.

Watching all this unfold, the little fox in the void felt as if struck by lightning.

It had thought that after seeing Jiang Chen again, they would live happily ever after.

But who knew what awaited it and Jiang Chen was such an unbearable reality.

Its clan?

Jiang Chen?

How to choose, the little fox didn’t know itself.

But faced with its indecision and Jiushuang, or rather, Bai Ling heartlessly going to Lin Feng’s side, Jiang Chen gave his own answer.

He would still save her!

Even if she was no longer herself, even if she had become Bai Ling, Jiang Chen was still fulfilling his promise!

Until his death, he would still protect her!

“Jiang Chen, you fool! How can there be someone as foolish as you in this world?”

“You’re the one who’s been hurt the most! You’re the one who’s the least understood, the one who longs for companionship the most!”

“So why?”

“Why do you even need to think of others?”

“Can’t you think of yourself for once, even if just occasionally, just once to be the bad guy?”

The little fox in the void kept roaring.

As it roared, it fell silent again.

It struggled to suppress the urge to cry, but as always, it couldn’t shed a tear.

“Nine Heavens Mystic Fox, perhaps really has no heart. After all, I… can’t even cry…” it said with a sorrowful voice.
