The Fox Goddess

Chapter 566 Meeting an Unexpected Person

Everyone found her actions cute and all of that was thanks to Yuki's acting, if it was not for the Quest where she needs to have a positive impact on people, she would have just acted like herself, and wouldn't even bother to act like what she did. On the surface, she was cute, shy, and timid, but in reality, it was all just a facade. Underneath that act was a Demon that shouldn't be angered.

"Oh fuck, it seems this is going to take a while," Yuki muttered under her breath after seeing the hundreds of books just in one section, she had read some of them already and found out that all of them were different from one another. She expected some books to have copies like in other Libraries that you can find, but it was not like that here. Every single book was different, the only thing that they have in similarities are the authors, or that they came from the same series of books.

Without wasting any more time, she started looking for 10 books that were the most important in value, there were a lot to pick from but the things that she needed the most were the history of Nightingale as well as the laws and geography of it. She began to browse all of them and finally got 5 books about the past of Nightingale that contained its origin and the previous Kings and Queens. 3 Books for Law which she was quite shocked to know as each book was already a few hundred pages, and the last two were about geographical information. With all of the things she needed in her hands, she went back to the receptionist and checked out all of the books.

"Wow, you want to borrow all of these books at the same time. You must like reading a lot, little girl. I hope my grandson was like you, but he just likes to play around everywhere. I hope you're my grandchild instead." The old lady sighed regrettably as she looked at Yuki with loving eyes, it was full of love and Yuki knew that she wanted her to be her granddaughter instead. Yuki then sighed and opened her mouth to say something.

"Grandma, even if your grandson is like that. You shouldn't easily replace him with someone else because you see that they are better in some way. He's an important part of your family and I know, even though he is like that, you still love him. So don't say anything like that." Yuki said while she signed another fake signature on the paper to finalize her borrowing of the books.

Once those words came out of her mouth, the old lady was too stunned to speak as she was not expecting something so deep to come out of the little girl's mouth. She looked as if she hadn't experienced anything in her life but deep down it seemed that she already knew a lot of things, she then looked around to see if anyone had heard what the little girl had just said, and when she saw that no one heard it, she was secretly glad.

"You're different from what I have seen from another child your age. You're smart and kind, and I can see that you love your family very much. But let me tell you this as an adult, don't act too smart because it's more dangerous than being stupid and ignorant." The old lady smiled back as she gave her heartful advice and warning at the same time.

"Hahaha… I see, I'll take to heart what you just said, Grandma?" Yuki said with a questioning tone as she looked at her with interest in her eyes, the more she talked with this old lady the more she liked her more. She knows that this old lady in front of her is a very powerful Cultivator who could probably kill her in one sweep. But the way she acts, it is as if she has long retired from that kind of life and is only enjoying her current life, that is also the reason why she gave her that advice.

In some way, she sees the old lady the same way as herself. She also wants to crawl out of hell but knows that it wouldn't be that easy, but at least with some people by your side, the path that you have chosen isn't full of bitterness and agony.

"Ah, it seems that I am getting old. Please forgive my bad manners, but my name is…" Yuki thought that the old lady was playing with her as she didn't finish her voice, but when she heard a voice in her mind and saw the old lady winking at her. She was keeping her identity a secret from everyone.

"I'm sorry, but I can't speak loudly. But I like you, little girl, so I'll say my real name to you. But please don't tell it to anyone, but my real name is Skadi Melvis. As you might have guessed from my name, I am from the Royal Family, but to make it interesting, I'll let you find out who I am by reading all of the books that you have borrowed." Skadi smiled lightly as she finally stopped talking using Telepathy and just as she expected, the little girl was shocked to meet a Royal Family in this king's place.

Skadi was not wrong in assuming that Yuki was thinking, because it was all that was running in her mind. It was not something she was expecting, far from it. Yuki was at least expecting that the person in front of her was some kind of hidden monster that refused to show herself to the world anymore, but it was something more than that. If the old lady said was true then she could be a Queen before, but as for how many years have passed, she doesn't know. The only thing that she knows is that only women were allowed to inherit the throne around 100 Thousand years ago, but it all changed after that,

That could only mean that the person in front of her is a 100 Thousand years old Vampire or could be even older than that. This is what Yuki hates, she is still so weak that she can't fully determine someone's strength, she didn't realize that the person she was talking to already is a Goddess.

"Ahhh, don't be scared of me little girl. Even if I'm part of that Family, it's been so long since I went home. Plus, I just want to enjoy life right now, and just as you mentioned, family is more important to me than title or prestige. So please don't treat me any differently after knowing who I am." Skadi said with a warm smile as she got out of her little space and kneeled on the floor to hold Yuki's hands.

"I… no. Please don't worry about that, I'm not afraid, it's just I was surprised to hear such a thing." Even though Yuki's mood was slow, she still maintained her act to not catch the attention of Skadi.

It was the thing that she worried the most, in her age and experience. It was a piece of cake for her to discern people but she couldn't tell if Skadi was just acting with her or if she had fooled her. But she can't take any risks now and she needs to leave this place, but she can't leave out of the Town just yet because it will only arouse more suspicion, especially from her.

"I'll take my leave now, my Family might be already worried for me! I'll see you tomorrow Grandma!" Yuki said playfully before running out of the Library and going straight home, but she didn't teleport nor use her powers to go there. She patiently walked there and even if it took her an additional 10 minutes to go home, she didn't care, she could not expose herself.

"Interesting… this little girl. She's only a year old, but she's already that strong. I'm more curious about you now." Skadi smiled as she just went back to her post and continued her job.
