Half an hour had pa.s.sed, before they both began to let go of the robe that was bunched in their small fair fingers . "I"m sorry, Aunt Xuequi . "
Mou Yidan and Mou Zimu apologized to their cousin once again, looking at the dark stains on her garment that was as a result of their shared tears .
"It"s okay, I just want you to know that despite living among humans, that does not make you one . You were born from a fox and a human, therefore that makes you neither fully human nor fully fox blooded . Which is why I don"t want you to succ.u.mb to the weak nature of humans, you may end up returning to the fox clan, do you think you can survive if you are this weak?!"
The twins hung their head in shame, what their cousin said was no different from the teaching of their mother . Mou Hairong was a strong clans woman and she brought up her children to show the strength of their fox royal blood, regardless of whether it was diluted or not .
"Please do not tell mother . "
Mou Zimu spoke up, pleading with his cousin to hide what they did from their mother, who would have set them straight if she knew of it .
The older twin sent a look of surprised at his brother, because he rarely spoke first . It was always Mou Yidan that took the lead when it came to talking .
"Alright, enough of all this, let"s go!"
Yan Xuequi gave one last pat on the head of her cousins, holding each in one hand as the three left the Mou family house, locking the gate behind them .

Xuekejiu town . . .
"Mister, what would you like to order from the menu?!"
Inside Zenhaitao inn was a distinguished looking man dressed in a dark cloak that hide purple and white robes, his hair was held together at the top of his head in a jade blue hair pin, a sword hung from the side of his robes . The robes he wore covered the dark boot was on each foot .
"Let me have some dumplings, green vegetables and some rice with a cup of water . "
Lin Cheng smiled pleasantly at the rough looking man that walked up to his table . The man bowed to him, before going towards the kitchen at the back to give them his order .
Shortly after, a cheap blue porcelain bottle and a cup came in a tray and was placed at his table . Lin Cheng began pouring some of the water into the saucer shaped cup, placing it against his lips to sip from it .
Around him, other people were chatting in a loud voice, from where he sat towards the end of the room, he could see people strolling in and going out .
"Shopkeeper Tao! Where is my wine! How long do I have to wait!"
Looking at the man that was shouting on top of his voice, made the travelling cultivator cringe inside of him, such a disorderly behavior would have received some beatings, but this was the mortal realm and he had to get use to their way of doing things .
Not long after, the food arrived at his table, Lin Cheng looked at the miserly food and was about to start eating, when he heard a voice calling his name .
"Lin Cheng!"
There was no way he would forget the owner of the voice, which was unlike any that he had ever heard, making him want to listen to them again and again . The lure of the voice had taken hold of that part of Lin Cheng"s mind .
"Princess Xuequi . . . . "
