12 Goddesses

Part 194

West Lake is the largest natural lake in Hanoi. Surrounding the East side of West Lake is a street named Au Co. Surrounding the West side of West Lake is a street named Lac Long Quan. These names are associated with an ancient legend about the love triangle between Lac Long Quan, Au Co and the Nine-Tailed Fox God, who is said to be imprisoned at the bottom of West Lake.

 

In this world, almost all legends are history, the difference is that these histories have been buried, although many people still know about them, very few people understand them thoroughly. For example, the story of the Nine-Tailed Fox being imprisoned under West Lake, how many people can prove it is true…

At this time, the surface of West Lake was still as clear and calm as every day. Thanks to the secret activities of the Hanoi City Lord’s Palace, most of the people passing by were unaware that there was a barrier around the lake that prevented all living things from entering. However, a few people were still able to enter successfully…

– No matter how strong… Mi Nhu is still just one of her nine tails…

Duong finished speaking, Ho Mi Nhu narrowed her eyes to look at him, a deep, probing look, she used her Divine Power to create an invisible wall to soundproof the conversation so that only she and Duong could hear, then said:

– Have you ever met my other avatar?

Duong shook his head:

– Never, I was told by a master.

Ho Mi Nhu is still doubtful:

– Expert? Which expert can understand my other avatar so well?

Duong didn’t want to say he knew thanks to something called Google, but if he didn’t say it clearly, Mi Nhu definitely wouldn’t believe it, so he said randomly:

– A man… calling himself Anonymous.

– Anonymous? – Ho Mi Nhu frowned and thought and said to herself:
– This name… I have heard it before… It is Sung Lam, he mentioned it once…

Duong is curious:

– Lac Long Quan knew Vo Danh?

Ho Mi Nhu shook her head:

– It seems unfamiliar, but from that time I saw he talked about Vo Danh with admiration…

Duong asked:

What did he say?

Ho Mi Nhu looked at Duong, thought and said:

– Why should I tell you?

Duong was confused:

– Ah! I’m also very curious about this person! Don’t you also want to know why that person knows about your other clone?

Ho Mi Nhu still kept a probing look, thinking carefully, that information was really useless to her, so she opened her mouth and said:

– I couldn’t hear clearly so I only remember the first few words, he said: Vo Danh is a fairy…

– Vo Danh is a fairy… Fairy Dragon? – Duong guessed.

Mi Nhu shook her head:

– Maybe not a Dragon, nor a Fairy…

Fairy Clan, Fairy Lady, Fairy Queen, Fairy Child… there are too many words to combine with the word Fairy, it’s useless to predict, Duong just shook his head and let it go for now.

Ho Mi Nhu spoke up:

– So, what did Anonymous say about my tail?

Having prepared an answer, Duong replied:

– He said: Lac Long Quan once edited the seal that imprisoned her, creating a flaw to help her escape after a while, but she was not willing to accept it so she accumulated spiritual power, took advantage of the flaw to create a clone of Vy and escaped.

Ho Mi Nhu nodded:

– That’s right! A few months ago, I successfully brought that clone out…

Duong continued:

– He also said that Vy’s clone should always be linked to her consciousness, but an accident happened that caused the clone to completely escape her control.

What’s the matter?

Duong was surprised:

– You don’t know either?

Ho Mi Nhu shook her head:

– I don’t know! Tell me, what happened!

Duong also shook his head, he really did not know:

– I don’t know either, Vo Danh didn’t say! He only said… if that tail continues to exist, her true form will…

Ho Mi Nhu calmly:

– Die! I know, even though God is immortal, my life force is gradually fading away without any way to stop it!

Duong nodded:

– God is immortal, but not indestructible, could someone take this opportunity to destroy her?

Ho Mi Nhu added:

– Or to capture my other clone.

– The one who can do this must be a God. Therefore, the best and fastest way I can do is to destroy her other clone…

Ho Mi Nhu laughed coldly:

– Do you know that I hate arrogant people? Where do you get the confidence to say you can destroy my clone?

Duong shook his head:

– That’s not confidence, it’s determination!

– Determination? Determination just for the purpose of conquering me? Then your determination is too despicable!

– Humph! Even though you are beautiful, you are still nowhere near as beautiful as my master Hong Anh, not as beautiful as Tu Linh, not as beautiful as Han Tuyet, even Nhu Nguyet is prettier than you, younger than you! If it weren’t for Nhu Nguyet, I wouldn’t even bother to glance at you! – Saying the following sentence, Duong habitually glanced at Mi Nhu’s large breasts hidden in her old, torn shirt.

Mi Nhu ignored Duong’s gaze and coldly said:

– Humph! Looks like you are really flirtatious, you despicable man!

– Despicable? So Lac Long Quan was faithful, why do you still hate him?

I…

– Me what! It’s just that you’re selfish! Nhu Nguyet wanted to help you forget your hatred so she told me to find a way to date you if I could break the seal, but she thought I wanted to!

Some people need to be treated gently, some people need to be treated harshly, and Duong chose to be harsh to raise himself to an equal in the eyes of this beautiful Nine-Tailed Fox God.

And luckily he succeeded.

Ho Mi Nhu was scolded by a little boy, her beautiful face was red, her teeth were clenched, her ego rose strongly:

– Okay… a despicable brat like you dares to look down on me…

– I do not look down on you, you just think too highly of yourself!

Ho Mi Nhu bit her lips tightly. While Duong thought she was about to attack him, she didn’t. She burst into tears, crying like a young girl being bullied by someone else…

Duong confused:

– Ouch! This move can’t be blocked!

Ho Mi Nhu sobbed:

– Sob! I know, I’m ugly, I’m selfish, I’m hateful, so no one likes me…

Duong quickly coaxed:

– Ah! It’s not like that… it’s not like that… Actually, she’s very beautiful… Her personality is fierce but she’s very cute…

– Lie!

– No! To tell the truth, although I don’t like you now, I think I will like you after spending time with you!

Ho Mi Nhu quickly stopped crying:

– Is love that simple to you? Don’t you think that when you like me, I don’t like you? Or, when I like you, you don’t like me and I’ll kill you?

Duong nodded:

– I’m afraid of the same thing! But if you don’t like me, I will pursue you until you like me! If I don’t like you, I will still pursue you until I like you!

It was that sincere gaze again, causing Mi Nhu’s pale cheeks to turn a little red…

Quietly…

Then she spoke:

– Do you have a way to break my seal?

Duong nodded:

Yes, but I don’t have enough strength!

– So you are not afraid that when you escape, I will immediately kill you?

– Scared! But I did it because of my promise!

– Do you think I will keep my word?

Duong shook his head:

– I don’t need your promise, so I don’t need you to keep your word! But I must keep Nhu Nguyet’s promise!

Ho Mi Nhu looked at Duong, then looked at Nhu Nguyet. Although Nhu Nguyet, like Sung Hao and Trieu Nhi, could not hear the conversation, Mi Nhu clearly saw that Nguyet was looking at Duong with eyes of absolute trust.

“Is that love…”

Ho Mi Nhu thought for a while, then coincidentally, the two spoke in unison…

– I also want to be…

– Do you want to try…

– … Love.

Their eyes met, Duong saw Mi Nhu almost smile, but she hid it…

Duong immediately took advantage of the opportunity:

– So… about dating?

Ho Mi Nhu tried to recreate a cold expression to hide her moment of confusion:

– Humph! You speak as if you have killed my clone and released the seal for me!

At the next sentence, Mi Nhu glanced to avoid Duong’s eyes:

– Do it first… then we’ll see…

Duong smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said:

– Oh, and I also want to ask you for something…

– What do I need?

Duong flew to face Mi Nhu, said something that people outside the wall could not hear, then the soundproof spiritual wall disappeared, Nguyet immediately approached and received a nod from Duong, indicating that the exchange was considered successful.

Seeing that Sung Hao was still looking for a way out, Duong asked:

– Sung Hao, what are you doing here?

Sung Hao replied:

– Looking for someone, but couldn’t find him! Should we fight here or go outside?

– Eek! Spare me, I still have things to do!

– Humph! Well then, how do we get out?

Duong pointed down to the water below and answered briefly:

Jump down!

Sung Hao nodded even more concisely, then jumped forward, and sure enough, dove and emerged in the real West Lake, ending a nearly meaningless exploration.

When Sung Hao disappeared, Trieu Nhi and Nhu Nguyet exclaimed in surprise:

– Is it that simple?

Ho Mi Nhu explains:

– This is the mechanism of this place, people with pure Fox bloodline like me and Nhu Nguyet will be sucked in and prevented from leaving, but if others can enter without touching the seal that is imprisoning us, it will be very easy to escape.

It should be added that the barrier outside West Lake is normally not present, and people can enter or jump into the lake without anything unusual happening. But when Ho Nhu Nguyet, who has the same pure bloodline as Ho Mi Nhu, approached, the barrier immediately reacted. Thanks to the barrier’s reaction, Ho Mi Nhu realized that someone with the same bloodline as her was approaching West Lake. She created another clone and pretended to try to escape again, causing the barrier to activate and capture Nhu Nguyet because it mistook her for Mi Nhu’s previously escaped clone.

– You two go out too! – Ho Mi Nhu directly chased Duong and Trieu Nhi away.

Duong looked at Nhu Nguyet, Nhu Nguyet said:

– You go ahead and do your thing, I want to stay here and keep my ancestors company for a while… When my ancestors have enough spiritual power, they will send me out later…

Duong had a way to bring Nhu Nguyet out, but he understood that she really wanted to stay, not because she thought she couldn’t get out.

– Okay… Then you stay here for a while, I will come visit you soon…
