The Librarian and the Fox Princess: a Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu story, V.I

Chapter 112 - The Witness

Bai Qian sighed and looked at the Snow Lion. "Besides, I know she's had her own painful love story to deal with. Promise me cat, that you won't tell her about how I didn't have my eyes."

The beast could not understand everything that was being spoken of but he understood that he was asked to protect his mistress from feeling sad. He could feel his mistress had dealt with many burdens previously. He could feel her heart had been heavy.

Mogu nodded. "The story of how we met will be invisible," he grumbled out.

Ye Hua shook his head. "What does that even mean? That doesn't even make sense."

Bai Qian patted him on his shoulder reassuringly. "I understand him. He means it's invisible meaning it won't be seen by her; she won't know the truth because he'll keep the secret."

"Are you sure we can trust him, Qian Qian?" whispered Ye Hua.

She nodded. "He doesn't mean any malice. Look at him. He's a perfect carbon copy of his master. He's handsome and completely clueless. He's just lucky to even know where he is right now."

The Snow Lion blinked back blankly at them.

"Now let's do some damage control," she said with a sigh while glancing over at her confused niece.

She withdrew the sound privacy barrier. "Xiao Jiu, your mount here is about as well-socialized as his master. You know I have a temper. When he accused me of finding my eyes at the black market I was about to give him a tongue-lashing. I didn't want you to hear so I threw up a sound barrier. We've since worked things out."

Mogu nodded agreeably. "They are her own eyeballs. When she came out of your fox grandmother they were already stuck in her head. We have cleared the matter up."

Migu watched the whole scene before him from start to finish and could do nothing except sigh. He didn't know what was worse. Was it having to be on cock-blocking duty with the little princess and her former Master of the Universe or having to watch the little princess's mount metaphorically lift his leg all over the fox den? The tree spirit had no idea how he would be managing things in the next few days.

Bai Qian was impatiently drumming her fingers over the table while the mount provided a lecture to the inhabitants of the fox den about how he was not a cat. Ye Hua had already closed his eyes and entered into a meditation to make more practical use of his time.

Feng Jiu was entertained and amused while watching her mount and eating some walnuts from the secret stash in her sleeve. The tree spirit had already made a quick dash to the kitchen, a place he loathed because of the fire but found it safer than having to listen to the lecture.

Mogu then proceeded to list all of his titles as mount of Dong Hua Dijun, the former emperor of everything and how he had accumulated more titles by being the mount and protector of the presumptive Queen of Qing Qiu. He then went on about how he was bestowed the illustrious name "Mogu" by his mistress and how a whole cult had formed around him whose sole purpose was to sell, barter and trade items so they could afford to procure offerings to him.

"Looks like the fox den is being held hostage," said a calm voice.

Mogu looked towards the entrance of the fox den. "The bird man and his pretty-boy mate are here," grumbled out the beast with a nod.

Bai Qian stood up and smiled. "Shall I introduce the two of you to Xiao Jiu's babysitter and protector? I don't think I can get all the titles correct, he has more than father," she said drily with a smirk.

Feng Jiu jumped up and ran over to Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen giving them each tight hugs.

Bai Zhen looked over to his sister while still holding his niece in his arms. "We've been introduced. Intimately. Zhe Yan held his rear up and I tried to steady his massive upper body when he had to relieve himself while still healing from his wounds."
