Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

"I bid farewell to my mother as she left the riverbank. Her white hair was white and her eyes were dry with tears. It was a bleak night with a snowy wind outside the wooden door. It would be better to have no children at this time."

Chen Baoan was reciting poems at the table, and feeling the poet's deep love for his mother, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he is still a young boy, he has read a lot of scriptures and most of the scriptures circulating in the world are in his pocket.

He even read boring books on agriculture and medicine.

"Cough cough cough..."

Just as Chen Baoan was immersed in ancient poetry, a cough was heard from the next room, and he immediately understood what meant it.

He quickly put down the collection of ancient poems in his hand and went to the next room, which was a pharmacy, and the person who made the sound was his mother.

"mother!"

Chen Baoan immediately stepped forward and found some Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and Angelica sinensis. Although there were only a few, they were still soaked in hot water.

These herbs are very effective in treating internal injuries, but Ye Ling has a physical problem. She is born with insufficient qi and blood. These herbs can only delay the symptoms but cannot cure them.

Because Ye Ling has insufficient qi and blood, which is a problem she has had since childhood. She has been weak for a long time, and it is impossible to cure her at her current age.

"Mom, take your medicine quickly."

Chen Baoan handed a small bowl of medicine to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling looked at the yellowish medicine and hesitated whether to drink it.

"Mom, drink it quickly."

Seeing Chen Baoan urging her like this, she no longer hesitated and picked up the small bowl and drank it all.

As the last drop of medicine went down her throat, a surge of energy and blood rushed into her body, making her feel warm and her coughing stopped.

At the same time, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Baoan... I'm sorry..."

Ye Ling hugged Chen Baoan's small body and burst into tears, muttering "I'm sorry" while crying.

"Mom...what happened? Why are you apologizing?"

Chen Baoan was a little confused, but he still patted Ye Ling gently on the back.

After a period of time, Ye Ling's originally fluctuating emotions gradually returned to normal.

"Baoan, I'm sorry to bring you such a weak body."

Ye Ling's tone was still guilty.

"It's okay, mom. You gave me my life, so how could I have any other desires?"

Chen Baoan also understood Ye Ling's psychology and slowly hugged her.

Ye Ling's health was actually not that weak, but this was only before she gave birth to Chen Baoan.

Compared with her relatively healthy peers, her breath holding ability shows that she is obviously deficient in Qi and blood.

This also caused her to fall into a coma during childbirth. Perhaps it was God's blessing, or perhaps it was the intervention of a powerful being, that allowed the mother and child to come into this world safely.

For Chen Baoan, he doesn't care about his frail body. After all, being able to go out and see the world is already a very happy thing.

The sun and the moon in the sky cycled for a while, and the green leaves were dyed orange by the setting sun. The arrival of late autumn brought a bit of loneliness to the atmosphere of the world.

Chen Baoan rarely studied hard with a book in his arms. Instead, he came under a big tree, picked up a fallen maple leaf on the ground, and observed the patterns on it thoughtfully.

At the same time, a small question arose in his mind.

He once remembered that the golden hoop that contained all his magical powers was locked in a box when he was reincarnated.

But now it is nowhere to be found. Although he knows that the box cannot be opened by human power, he still can't help but worry.

He was not worried that he might not be able to get back his original magical powers, but he was worried that the Golden Hoop member would cause huge casualties.

He has been in the outside world for many years, and he has never heard his father mention human nature.

People’s hearts are unpredictable, so don’t give your trust to someone easily.

The golden hoop is a natural spiritual object that may drive his third brother crazy. If it appears in the outside world, it will definitely cause a bloody storm.

People from the outside world look similar to the Eastern Spirit Clan people of Aolai Country, but not exactly the same.

People in the outside world do not have innate magical powers, nor will they awaken abilities such as fire at a certain time.

When he was growing up, the so-called "strong people" he saw were all people who practiced martial arts.

Chen Baoan could feel a majestic aura from them, at least it was majestic for him now.

"Baoan, the meal is ready."

Ye Ling's voice was heard, and Chen Baoan immediately ran into the house.

"Eh? Daddy's here too?"

He was surprised when he saw Chen Huai sitting next to him.

As one of the people who mines black iron stone, Chen Huai is generally not at home most of the time, let alone at noon.

"What? Your father is not welcome?"

Chen Huai drank the rice wine in the cup.

"No, I'm just a little surprised that Daddy has time to have dinner with us today."

Chen Baoan answered truthfully and then sat next to his mother at the table.

"I didn't come here specifically to have dinner with you. I just happened to come back to discuss something. But... you deserve praise for being able to go out for a walk."

Chen Huai smiled unconsciously.

"Come on, you obviously came back because you missed Baoan so much, and you're still pretending when you see him."

Ye Ling threw a bowl of white rice heavily in front of Chen Huai and said.

"Uh... cough cough cough."

Chen Huai was speechless for a moment and could only cough to ease his embarrassment.

"Giggle..."

Chen Baoan covered his mouth and laughed softly.

In the village, he often heard neighbors praising his father.

From them, Chen Baoan also learned that his father had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had mastered very good kung fu skills, and he was not a local.

He seemed to have come to the city on business, and was subsequently attacked by a monster. By chance, he was rescued by his current wife, Ye Ling.

The moment he saw Ye Ling, Chen Huai fell completely in love with her.

For this reason, he abandoned his previous identity and martial arts and lived in this village.

There are not many people he cares about in his life. Apart from his master, Ye Ling occupies the largest position in his heart.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to pass on his martial arts, so he placed great hopes on Chen Baoan.

But after Ye Ling fell into a coma due to dystocia and Chen Baoan's 'resurrection', he no longer focused on inheritance. At that moment he understood that his family members living happily was more important than anything else.

"Baoan, I wonder what you think about your career path?"

When the family gathered together for dinner after a long absence, Chen Huai suddenly spoke.

"Hmm? A career in government? Isn't this a path only rich people can take? Why is Dad asking me this?"

Chen Baoan answered without any doubt.

However, Ye Ling on the side frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something.

"A career as an official is just a passing cloud. Baoan just needs to stay with us and grow up safely."

She pinched Chen Baoan's fair and clean face.

"Oh my Baoan, he's so handsome, I wonder which girl will marry him in the future."

Chen Huai frowned when he heard this. He knew exactly what his wife meant. After all, they had been sleeping in the same bed for ten years.

"Mom, if I can pursue a career in government, of course I will. A career in government tests one's knowledge. I don't think my knowledge is inferior to that of officials. It's a pity that my family doesn't have much money."

He knew about the situation at home, otherwise he would not have been able to cure his mother's disease of insufficient qi and blood.

"Oh? Are you interested in a career in politics?"

Chen Huai's eyes gleamed.

Originally, due to Ye Ling's interference, he was planning to give up.

"No."

Chen Baoan shook his head.

"I just think that if I can pursue a career in politics, I can make life better for the villagers."

His little eyes blinked, and his sincere tone made Chen Huai a little overwhelmed for a moment.

He naturally had his own selfish motives in allowing his son to enter the official career through the village chief's relationship and supporting him with the whole village's support.

With an official position, you no longer need to be coerced by people in the village. The purpose is to make your life better.

Facing Chen Baoan's heartfelt words, Chen Huai sneered, full of mockery towards himself.

"It seems my son Baoan has the potential to be a general!"

He cares about the world and the village, and is grateful for the help he has received. Without him being able to see, his son has grown up.

"Alright, alright, let's eat."

Hearing Chen Baoan's words, Ye Ling felt annoyed and could only urge the two to eat quickly.

After the meal, Chen Baoan went out to digest the food. The autumn scenery was still very attractive to him. After all, it was basically spring all year round in Lingshan Mountain of Aolai Country.

After he left, a quarrel broke out in the house.

"Chen Huai! Don't tell me you promised the village chief that!"

Ye Ling glared at Chen Huai with eyes wide open.

"Um……"

Faced with his wife's anger, he chose to endure it in silence.

"You! You! You bastard! Baoan is my child! Our child! Are you willing to send him away?!"

Ye Ling's small fists kept hitting Chen Huai's chest, but to his huge pectoral muscles, these were just raindrops.

"Cough cough cough..."

The violent emotional fluctuations caused Ye Ling to cough.

Upon seeing this, Chen Huai immediately hugged her in his arms to comfort her.

"Let me go! Ahem! Why! Ahem! Why did you send Baoan out!"

Ye Ling, who was held in Chen Huai's arms, was still struggling, but with her scarce energy and blood, how could she compete with her husband?

"Ling'er, I understand your feelings, very well, but you should know that Baoan's body..."

Chen Huai whispered advice in Ye Ling's ear.

As a trace of hot air hit her earlobe, her originally fluctuating mood slowly calmed down.

"The village chief promised me that if I could agree to this, Baoan's health would be saved."

Chen Huai's voice made Ye Ling completely calm down.

In a mother's heart, nothing is more important than the health of her child.

Ye Ling is willing to do anything to cure Chen Baoan's health, even if... they may never see each other again in this life!

"Then you know... once Baoan gets out..."

"I know!"

Chen Huai hugged Ye Ling tightly. At this moment in his arms, the strong Ye Ling couldn't help but burst into tears.
