The Royal Princess Fox Chapter 20

The Royal Princess Fox, 公主御狐 Chapter 20: Like This

She won’t treat her happiness as a joke anymore.

“Haha,” Jun YiFan laughed out with a clear voice.

Shaking the fine folding fan in his hand, he said with conviction.

“I must have met you before. Your eyes gave me a familiar feeling, en, very beautiful, smart and charming.”

This one laugh from him can be considered an earth-shattering move.

Several women even fainted from over-excitement.
Not sure if Jun YiFan did that intentionally or not.

He was using ‘Benwang’ just now, in the blink of an eye he started using ‘I’ instead.

So, aside from some appreciation (to his charm), she don’t have any other thoughts.

At most, she just missed a bit of the happiness she had from her childhood.
She was really naive at that time.

“Oh, really? But what I can say is this small woman has humble identity, so I definitely never meet the famous Xuan Wangye before.”

Not evading the probing stare from Jun YiFan, Ye Xing Tong met his eyes with her straightforward look.
The firm confirmation in her words left no room for doubts.

“Hehe…. maybe I remember it wrongly. Miss, please don’t mind me.”

Jun YiFan surrendered under Ye Xing Tong’s firm stare.

Instead, he has a look of calmness on his face and an indifferent smile.

The ‘small dog’ in Ye Xing Tong’s arms slightly squinted, cast a look of contempt at the two people.
Whining twice with an ‘ao ao’ sound, it closed its eyes and settled back into a comfortable position in her arms.

Ignorant mankind, so damn hypocritical.

“This is?”

Searching for the sound, Jun YiFan saw the ‘small dog’ in Ye Xing Tong’s arms.
With a touch of surprise and shock in his eyes, he exclaimed, “This is a rare fox spirit?!”

He has been looking at Ye Xing Tong all the while so he didn’t notice the charming red fox spirit in her arms.
Of course, he didn’t saw the fox’s earlier contemptuous gaze either.

When other people heard Jun YiFan’s words, they looked towards the small fox with curiosity and excitement.

Ye Xing Tong thought differently though.
Blinking, she gave a dry smile and asked, “Xuan Wangye probably seen wrongly? It is just a small dog, how can it be a legendary fox?”

She has always been unlucky, she can’t believe she will have such good luck.

“Indeed it is. I have seen a gray fox in the mountains once. Although foxes are quite similar but they are not the same. Foxes have wider face, longer mouth and their tail is much fluffier and bigger than dog’s tail. As long as you pay attention to the details, you will be able to tell the differences.”

Jun YiFan explained solemnly.

His eyes slightly flashed, then he shifted his glance with a doubt back to the Ye Xing Tong who was currently wearing a shocked expression and continued.

“It happened that an Emperor from QingXia1 hunted foxes without restraint, causing the population of foxes in our continent to lessen until it finally turned into a rare species. Some people didn’t even manage to see one in their lifetime. Fox spirit can have up to nine tails, but even ordinary fox is rare not to mention the legendary nine tail fox.”

“Oh, so it’s true ah! Seems like I really have quite a good luck this time.”

A trace a excitement flashed through Ye Xing Tong’s eyes as she looked down at the sleepy little fox in her arms.

“Foxes are naturally wild and doesn’t approach human easily. How can this Miss be able to tame it to follow you?”

The man wearing an official uniform beside Jun YiFan voiced out his doubt.
As soon as the man finished his words, Jun YiFan also stared at Ye Xing Tong.

Ye Xing Tong masked the expression in her eyes and gave a lazy smile.

“Come to think about it, I felt it was quite strange. I met it in the woods, and it was seriously injured at that time.”

“I saved it so it is wiling to follow me. If you didn’t tell me, I thought it is a cute puppy. Oh yeah, I gave it a name ‘HongYe’.”

Thinking about its injuries, she felt a bit gloomy. Its healing ability was really strong.

It has not been a few days and the wounds are automatically healed.
Usually when she was injured, even a little knife wound would take her several days to heal.

Was it because it is a fox spirit so it’s different than ordinary people?

“So that’s why,” Jun YiFan revealed an understanding smile, “that explained everything now.”

Slightly turning to the man beside him, he said, “Wu Daren2, Benwang will stay here tonight. Since the murder occurred here, I will start the investigation from here.”

“Yes, this officer will accompany Wangye to stay here.”

Slightly bowing, Wu Daren replied respectfully.
Also known as a calm and honest official, he is the county magistrate Wu JianYuan who do his duty according to the law.

“No, no need. Wu Daren has many daily matters need to be attended. Benwang has personal guards to guard, and QiGong 3for protection.”

“Daren don’t have to worry about Benwang. Wait until we asked the matter regarding the inn owner’s daughter clearly, then Daren can leave.”

Slightly waving his hands, Jun YiFan calmly said.

“Yes.” Wu JianYuan opened his mouth, wanted to say something but decided not to say anything.

Translator note : Thanks for reading. Please check back with Fantasy Books if you wished to pick up the series in case they have already gotten someone working on it.

Not sure where is QingXia since the countries stated before only mentioned Nanjiang, QingYu and Li.大人/Daren is a title of respect, usually used by someone with a lower status to refer to someone higher. Or it can be used by official/ministers to greet each other. In this case, Jun YiFan is giving a respect to the man beside him by calling him Daren even though his position is much higher than him.有奇功护身 – I’m thinking the author misspelled 气功 as 奇功
