Ivy had just given birth and looked very weak, but she still bumped into me hard.

to hunch over. She even had streaks of white hair.
But I couldn’t mistake her. In my past life, I had suffered the same fate after giving birth.
I grew angry. “There’s never been a rule that mixed fur foxes can’t enter the ancestral temple!”
Ivy laughed mockingly, drawing out her words.
“There’s no rule because the royal palace has never given birth to a mixed fur fox before! You’d better quickly take that thing and get lost. The Fox God won’t bless it!”
As she finished speaking, many clan members surrounded us and started pushing us away. “Get lost! You’re a disgrace!”
My body was weak from childbirth, and my husband was crippled. We were forced out.
Suddenly, Damien called for everyone to stop.
“Let her leave that little mongrel here!”
I was confused why he was being so kind today, but then he glared at me contemptuously.
“You and Ivy gave birth on the same day, so the children will naturally emerge on the same day too. When the white fox is revealed with auspicious signs, how laughable and shameful will your mixed fur fox look next to my child!”
He laughed arrogantly, but I didn’t care at all.
Waiting for the children to emerge was an anxious process. I went to the ancestral temple every day to talk to my baby.
My husband and I gave him a beautiful name – Phoenix. We hoped he would be happy and lack nothing in life.

But I knew who was behind it all.

A month later, the children would emerge from their spiritual cocoons today.
My husband and I changed into formal clothes, preparing to welcome our baby.
Sure enough, there was a commotion outside as it grew lively.
“Look, look! It’s that scene again. Red clouds are churning for thousands of miles, like flames. Is this predicting our fox clan will prosper even more?”
My husband and I waited together in the crowd. After who knows how long, the spiritual energy around Ivy’s child slowly dissipated.
