Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered to himself: "I suddenly remembered that the scene just now was very similar to a legend about the royal family of Qingyun Kingdom.
About ten years ago, Emperor Qingyun had a concubine whom he loved very much. After being named a noble concubine, he failed to give birth to a son or a daughter for several years.
Later, after repeated examinations, the imperial physician in the palace discovered that the imperial concubine had a physical abnormality and was congenitally infertile.
With no cure, the imperial concubine begged Emperor Qingyun to go with her to the Guangling Temple to worship Buddha and pray to God to give her a child.
As a result, the sincerity of the noble concubine moved God, and not long after she and the emperor worshiped the Buddha, she became pregnant with the dragon seed and gave birth to a smart and lovely little princess."
Speaking of this, Ji Tianxing said with a somewhat complicated tone: "The little princess gifted by God to the noble concubine is Keke.
At that time, this incident spread in the imperial city for a while and caused many people to discuss it.
But for some unknown reason, Keke’s mother-in-law... that noble concubine, passed away within two years.
Regarding Ke Ke's life and origin, the palace also issued a ban, and no one was strictly prohibited from talking about it.
Now it seems that the scene just now is somewhat consistent with that legend.
It’s just that Ke Ke was not born to that noble concubine, but was entrusted to her by a koi carp.”
Yan'er looked full of surprise, nodded and praised: "I didn't expect that Junior Sister Ji Ke's life experience would be so mysterious and bizarre.
The emperor worshiped Buddha, and the koi carp came from the river to care for the baby... This is just like a story from a myth and legend."
Qianyue narrowed her eyes, glanced sideways at Kun Wu, and said in a playful tone: "Since Ji Ke is a member of the Jinli tribe, why did she appear in the Qingyun Kingdom in the Tianchen Territory after she was born?
She was still lying in a shell, being lifted out of the water by a koi?
Kunwu frowned slightly and said in a solemn tone: "Yes, Ji Ke's life experience is indeed a bit bizarre. I know that there must be hidden secrets and twists and turns in it.
Therefore, after I take Ji Ke away, I will definitely send someone to investigate the matter and find out the ins and outs of this matter."
Ji Tianxing looked at him with indifferent eyes, and said in a solemn and unquestionable tone: "Kunwu, I just said it.
Even if Keke is from the golden raccoon tribe, you will never take her away today.
Only she can decide whether she will stay or go, and no one can force her!"
Kunwu stared at him with the same cold eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Ji Tianxing, do you really want to stop me without any room for negotiation?"
"Of course!" Ji Tianxing said these two words in a sonorous tone.
Kunwu knitted his brows together, squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
However, after weighing it in silence for a moment, he finally chose to compromise.
"Very good! Ji Ke is lucky to have you as her best friend to protect her.
I can leave her alone for the time being and let her make her own choice.
However, please remember to tell her that if she encounters any danger or difficulty in the future, she can come to Xingyue Manor to find me."
Kunwu said these words with a solemn expression, then took out a small white jade bottle and handed it to Ji Tianxing.
"Here are three special elixirs made by our clan. If Ji Ke's demonic power breaks out again and she encounters danger, she can take these elixirs to relieve herself."
After saying that, Kunwu turned around and walked out of the room, quickly leaving Yuqingyuan.
Ji Tianxing held the white jade vial and watched Kun Wu leave, the sharp look in his eyes gradually fading away.
Seeing that Ji Ke's condition was stable and there was no serious problem for the time being, he asked Yan'er and Qian Yue to go back to practice separately.
He stayed in Ji Ke's room, sat by the bed, meditated, and looked after the sleeping Ji Ke.
Before I knew it, several more hours had passed.
It was late at night, and the night in Yuqing Garden was dark and very quiet.
At this time, Ji Ke finally woke up and slowly opened his eyes.
She saw the situation around her clearly and knew that she was still in the room, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately they didn't see my appearance..."
However, when she turned to look at the bedside, she saw Ji Tianxing sitting on the bedside practicing.
At that moment, Ji Ke felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body suddenly stiffened and his expression became very ugly.
"Ah! Brother Tianxing... you... why are you here?"
She screamed subconsciously, a look of deep panic appeared on her pretty face, and her heart instantly became confused.
Ji Tianxing was awakened, opened his eyes and looked at her with concern.
"Keke, you finally woke up, how do you feel now?"
Ji Ke looked at him with tearful eyes, shook her head and backed away, hiding in the corner of the bed.
She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her cheeks and golden ears.
But she didn't want to expose her fluffy claws, so she quickly turned her head towards the corner, with her back to Ji Tianxing.
"No, brother Tianxing, turn around quickly, don't look at me!"
However, she just wanted to hide her paws and ears, but she didn't notice that when her back was turned to Ji Tianxing, the fluffy golden tail appeared in front of Ji Tianxing.
"Brother Tianxing, please get out quickly, I beg you..."
Tears welled up in Ji Ke's eyes, and her voice sounded like she was crying. She was anxious, aggrieved and confused, and she was at a loss what to do.
She couldn't accept herself becoming a monster, and she didn't want the people she loved to see her in her most 'ugly' form.
Of course Ji Tianxing could understand her mood, so he stood up and sat next to her, comforting her softly: "Keke, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and are the best friends in the world.
No matter what you have experienced or what changes you have undergone, you will always be the cutest little princess in my heart."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and pressed her shoulders, turning her over to face him.
Ji Ke faced him, but buried her head in her chest, not daring to look at his expression or eyes.
She was very panicked and afraid, afraid of seeing Ji Tianxing's disappointed expression or disgusted eyes.
However, Ji Tianxing went on to say: "Keke, your bloodline and life experience are not something you can decide. The identity of the demon clan is determined in every lifetime.
However, you can choose to face it bravely and treat our friends as you always have.
If one day we are disappointed in you, it will not be because you have turned into a monster, but because you have deliberately alienated us and are unwilling to face us... Do you understand?"
Ji Ke stopped crying and lowered her head in silence for a long time before she mustered up the courage to look up at Ji Tianxing.
She stared into Ji Tianxing's eyes and hesitated for a long time before asking: "Brother Tianxing, I...will you really...not dislike me when I become like this?"
Ji Tianxing nodded, reached out and pinched her fluffy ears, and said with a smile: "You are cuter now than before, how can I dislike you?"
