Chapter 142: The Story of the Nine-Tailed Fox!
They can freely use telepathy to communicate with people.
This is something that many Psychic-type Pokémon cannot do, but this Nine-Tails can do it with ease.
Qingyuan couldn't help but wonder just how powerful this nine-tailed fox really was.
"What good is it to guard me? Your human lifespans are far too short!"
"Over the past few hundred years, I have witnessed countless life-and-death separations!"
"What's the use of your constant companionship? It only adds to the sadness!"
"Go now, there's no need to add to your sorrow by the impending separation!"
Nine-Tailed Fox gently brushed the old lady's face with its tail and said in a soft voice.
"Then why have you stayed here all this time?"
Upon hearing Nine-Tails' words, the old lady grabbed Nine-Tails' tail and asked.
"me?"
"All I've ever been protecting is this castle!"
Nine-Tailed Fox gently pulled its tail out of the old woman's hand and looked up at an ancient painting on the wall.
The drawing depicts a little girl laughing happily, with a cute six-tailed fox lying at her feet.
"But my great-grandmother once said that it wasn't Lady Lisa's original intention to have you guard the castle!"
"Mrs. Lisa originally wanted you to see the world!"
The old lady followed the movement of the nine-tailed fox and looked at the ancient painting. After seeing the painting, she frowned and said to the nine-tailed fox.
"Humph!"
Upon hearing this, Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly, and its powerful aura spread outwards.
Qingyuan and the old lady both felt a tightness in their chests when they sensed this aura.
The scorpion on Qingyuan's shoulder immediately bristled, urging Qingyuan to leave.
This Nine-Tails is too powerful; it's not something it can contend with right now.
"I don't need you to lecture me on my decisions!"
After coldly uttering a single sentence to the old lady, Nine-Tails turned and left the room.
"Ah~"
Seeing this, the old lady could only sigh deeply.
"What's going on with that nine-tailed fox, Grandma?"
Seeing this, Qingyuan directly asked the old lady.
He's incredibly curious about this nine-tailed fox right now.
Putting aside its unrestricted telepathic abilities, just look at the overwhelming aura it suddenly exerted just now.
If Qingyuan is not mistaken, this should be the "momentum" that Sakaki mentioned, which only Elite Four level Pokémon possess.
A nine-tailed celestial king-level creature, and it's even connected to the old woman in front of me.
The spirit of gossip in Qingyuan is burning fiercely.
"Ah~"
Hearing Qingyuan's words, the old lady, Madam Ayako, sighed again before slowly beginning to tell Qingyuan the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
After a long while, Qingyuan was still unable to calm down after listening to Lady Ayako finish telling the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
He couldn't even imagine how the Nine-Tails had spent those hundreds of years.
According to Lady Ayako, the Nine-Tails was originally just a small six-tailed creature that was rescued by Lady Lisa.
At that time, Lady Lisa was still Miss Lisa, the youngest and most beloved daughter of Earl Stancollin.
With its adorable appearance, the six-tailed creature, then known as a monster, was accepted by Count Stancollin.
Having become Miss Lisa's playmate, Liuwei spent a pleasant time with Miss Lisa in this huge castle.
However, happy times are always short-lived, and that year Miss Lisa celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony.
Miss Lisa could have lived a happy life thanks to the Earl's family and her fiancé's family background, which included a Marquis.
But life is like a game; you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
It was the day before Miss Lisa's wedding.
A rebellion broke out in the kingdom, and Count Stancollin, Miss Lisa's fiancé, responded to the kingdom's call and led his troops to the front lines.
However, in just half a month, news came that the father-in-law and son-in-law had both died in battle.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Miss Lisa soon fell ill and was bedridden, and her health deteriorated day by day.
Liuwei saw it all and was very anxious.
In order to save Lady Lisa, Rokuro learned about a miraculous medicine that could cure everything from the doctor.
So he went straight out to look for it.
What Liuwei didn't know was that Lady Lisa couldn't hold on any longer the day after it left.
In the final moments of her life, Mrs. Lisa regretted not being able to see the Six-Tails one last time.
But she still hopes that Six-Tails can live a good life in the days to come.
Go and experience the beauty of this world; don't confine yourself to this small fortress.
So when the Six-Tails evolved into the Nine-Tails and returned with the medicine that was said to cure all diseases...
Upon hearing this news, the Nine-Tailed Fox was completely devastated.
Unable to accept this situation, the Nine-Tails and all the other spirits went mad.
It wasn't until it had destroyed most of the castle that it remembered what it had done.
For the next few hundred years, the Nine-Tails took it upon itself to protect the ruins of the ancient castle.
However, Lady Ayako and her family, who are descendants of the original steward, have been working hard to resolve the Nine-Tails' inner conflict.
They wanted to follow Lady Lisa's last wish and let the Nine-Tailed Fox leave the small castle that had trapped it.
Go and experience the magnificent landscapes of the entire Elf world.
They have been working on this for over three hundred years.
However, what saddened Lady Ayako was that this ancestor's last wish would probably never be fulfilled.
Because neither of Lady Ayako's two daughters carried on their ancestor's wishes.
They believe that rather than inheriting the legacy of their ancestors, it is better to do their own work well.
So the two sisters left the castle and went to Rainbow City to make a living.
He has now achieved some success and often takes Ayako down the mountain to enjoy life.
As for Ayako, she is getting old and doesn't have much time left.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably never come back here after she goes down the mountain this time.
This made Ayako feel very regretful that she had not been able to fulfill her ancestors' wishes.
"Hiss, this is going to be really difficult!"
Qingyuan sat in the chair, pulling at his hair as he spoke.
Qingyuan wanted to help with this matter.
For no other reason than that I don't want to see the Nine-Tails imprisoned by an ancient castle.
It firmly imprisons the rest of its life.
The Nine-Tailed Fox is a spirit that is said to live for a thousand years, and it has already wasted more than three hundred years here.
There's no need to waste the remaining seven hundred years here.
Qingyuan believes that only trainers can truly control Pokémon.
When a trainer dies, the bond between the Pokémon and the trainer disappears.
That elf should also embrace a new life and live an even more beautiful second life!
