Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Like a Dream, Not a Dream

A single sentence made her stance clear, causing Cheng Li to almost spit blood from anger. She looked at Jiang Xue again and asked, "Little Xue, are you alright?"

"What could be wrong with me?" Jiang Xue tilted her head to look at Cheng Li, an innocent look on her face.

Seeing Jiang Xue like this, Cheng Li could no longer hold back and asked, "You, didn't you hate Mu Qiancheng the most? Why now..."

Cheng Li didn't finish her sentence, but Jiang Xue understood what she meant. It was nothing more than not hating Mu Qiancheng's son as she used to.

"People can change." Jiang Xue gently uttered a few words, causing Cheng Li's expression to change instantly. After a while, her expression returned to normal, and she asked somewhat unnaturally, "Then, then what about Mu Qiancheng now?"

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Xue looked at Cheng Li, her gaze sharp as if she wanted to see through her.

Facing such a gaze from Jiang Xue, Cheng Li couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Jiang Xue looked deeply at Cheng Li, capturing her guilt in her gaze. In her past life, she was foolish, never knowing that Cheng Li had always been trying to stir up trouble between her and Mu Qiancheng.

However, she couldn't understand why Cheng Li would do such a thing.

She would eventually figure out the answer to this question.

With this in mind, Jiang Xue didn't want to deal with Cheng Li any longer and said directly, "Xiao Li, I'm tired, I want to sleep. You should go back."

"Then, rest well, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Cheng Li wanted to stay, but seeing Jiang Xue no longer paying attention to her, she had no choice but to leave angrily.

After Cheng Li left, Jiang Xue finally put the sleeping little baby beside her and lay down herself.

She turned to look at the sleeping child and slowly closed her eyes.

As she slept, Jiang Xue felt herself arriving in a magical place.

It was a place like a fairyland with green mountains and clear waters, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers. A stone-paved path, like a jade belt, meandered through the serene green mountains.

Jiang Xue walked along the mountain path, enjoying the gentle breeze and fragrant flowers, her heart feeling at ease. She hadn't felt like this in a long time.

As she walked, a small white creature suddenly appeared by the roadside. When Jiang Xue looked down, it turned out to be a little white fox.

"Little Fox?" Jiang Xue was full of surprise and made eye contact with the little fox.

However, at this moment, a tender voice came into her ears: "You finally arrived! So slow."

Jiang Xue was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Who, who's talking to me?"

"Of course, it's me, little master." The voice sounded again. Jiang Xue looked around but couldn't find anyone.

So, she became even more frightened and shouted, "Who are you, come out!"

"I'm right in front of you, little master,"

These words shocked Jiang Xue. She looked down at the little fox in front of her and asked, "Is it you talking to me?"

"If it's not me, little master, who else do you think it is?" The little fox rolled its eyes and looked at Jiang Xue with displeasure, muttering internally, "This woman is really stupid!"

"Aren't you a fox? How can you speak?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise. She had only heard of speaking animals in mythological stories.

"Little master is a Fox Immortal!" The little fox looked proud, as if talking was a piece of cake for it.

"Fox Immortal?" Just as Jiang Xue was about to ask more questions, a cry echoed in her ears, causing her eyes to snap open and search for the source of the crying.
