Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: My Heart for Qi Qi, Stirred with Emotion
The man handed a brocade box to Emily Hearne.
Inside the box was a fine jade bracelet, and he said,
“Although this jade bracelet is not a priceless treasure, it has been passed down from my great-grandmother’s generation. My brother and I each have one; his is with my sister-in-law, and I wish to give this one to you…”
Emily Hearne did not imdiately take the box; she just looked at him,
“Do you sincerely wish to marry ?”
The man, Isaac Harper, nodded earnestly,
“I do want to marry you!”
“Even if I’m not human, does it still not matter?”
Isaac Harper’s expression didn’t change, he simply said,
“When you saved in the mountains, I already knew you weren’t human. I admire you, regardless of whether you’re human or a demon.”
Upon hearing this, Emily Hearne casually picked up the jade bracelet to play with it in her hand, then turned her gaze towards the man. Her eyes changed, and demonic power radiated from her body.
Then, without warning, she transford into her demon form right in front of him.
Her long black hair turned into cascading white locks, and her pupils reflected the demonic hues of a fox’s gaze, while the nine tails behind her appeared even more eerie and enchanting.
Isaac Harper was clearly seeing her demon form for the first ti, and he froze in place.
“So, do you still wish to marry ?”
Emily Hearne looked at him and asked again, “Think carefully, I will only give you one chance.”
Ultimately just an ordinary human, Isaac Harper faced the fox demon before him, and couldn’t help but reveal a slight tremor in his eyes.
Despite trying hard to control it, his hand still shook uncontrollably. Scarlett Jennings watched as he reached out, shivering, towards Emily Hearne, only to clutch at the jade bracelet in her hand.
Emily Hearne thought he wanted to take back this so-called heirloom jade bracelet, and a sneer flashed across her eyes as she handed the bracelet to him.
Unexpectedly, as he grabbed the jade bracelet, he also reached out to clasp her wrist.
Then, suppressing the tremble in his hand with difficulty yet resolutely, he slipped the jade bracelet onto her wrist.
When he looked up again, the man’s eyes were firm and earnest, and he said,
“I want to marry you!”
Emily Hearne was slightly stunned, yet she still did not imdiately agree,
“I am the Nine-tailed Fox King, and the Fox King cannot marry into another family. If you truly wish to be with , then it must be marrying you.”
A man marrying into a family was hard to accept for the ancient nobility.
Not to ntion, judging by the fine silk he’s wearing, he likely cos from a wealthy or noble family.
As expected, after hearing Emily Hearne’s words, the man fell into thought, but quickly replied,
“It’s acceptable, my elder brother is responsible for inheriting the family business and passing on the lineage. marrying in doesn’t affect my family; I just need to consult my family about it.”
Emily Hearne then asked him, “What if your family doesn’t agree?”
Isaac Harper smiled, his brows and eyes gentle,
“If they don’t agree, there’s nothing I can do. I would fake my death and retreat with you into the mountains to live in seclusion, though that way, the dowry…oh, my trousseau might be a bit smaller, consisting only of so silver coins, this mountain, and the villa in the woods. Would you mind?”
Emily Hearne: …
Scarlett Jennings: …
Wait, this mountain, could it be???

In the end, Emily Hearne and Isaac Harper beca a couple.
As Isaac Harper ntioned, his parents couldn’t accept him marrying in, especially to a fox demon.
When the two got married, only Isaac Harper’s elder brother and sister-in-law ca to offer their blessings.
Scarlett Jennings, in her ethereal form, witnessed the two beco a couple under the witness of the heavens and the earth.
She watched as her powerful grandmother and delicate grandfather began living an ordinary life after marriage.
She saw the affection gradually appear in Emily Hearne’s eyes.
And later, she witnessed them give birth to their first child.
That child was nad by Isaac Harper—Magnolia.
Isaac Harper, playing with words, deliberately explained the origin of the na,
“Searching and seeking, desolate and quiet, dreary, distressed, and mournful…”
Emily Hearne, unlike him, the demons were not skilled with words, but even she could hear the sadness and bleakness in those terms, her face turning grim as she glared at Isaac Harper.
Before she could speak, Isaac Harper imdiately smiled and pleaded,
“My dear, don’t be angry, I’m just jesting with you. How could our daughter’s na bear such a aning.”
Isaac Harper laughed as he pleaded, then gently held Emily Hearne’s hand, with a gentle look in his eyes, and said,
“The real aning of this na is my heart flutters, or resonates.”
Magnolia represents the stirring of the heart.
She is proof of his admiration for Emily, and he hopes that this child will find soone she admires in the future.
No matter if the other party is human or demon, as long as she is happy, it is enough.
Upon hearing this, Emily Hearne was no longer angry, though she still didn’t want to pay attention to the man, and seeing this, Isaac Harper imdiately moved closer again, fawningly saying,
“Actually, Magnolia has another aning, ‘Magnolia’ sounds like ‘Seven’, didn’t you ntion you have another child called Aaron? Our child is Seven, he’s Nine, just by the numbers she outranks her brother, isn’t that great~”
In the end, Emily Hearne was coaxed out of her temper by Isaac Harper’s nonsense, and looking at the tender baby in her arms, a little warmth involuntarily appeared in her expression,
“Magnolia, Magnolia Hearne…”
This is the child of her and him.
Though naturally a Half-Demon, yet…she is a treasure.
Scarlett Jennings just watched with her ethereal form, observing Emily Hearne gently press her forehead against the child’s, her eyes full of maternal softness and joy.
This side of Emily Hearne, Scarlett Jennings had never seen before.
Perhaps, even her mother had never witnessed this scene with her own eyes.
The people in the clan often said that the Fox King’s union with a human was simply to produce a Half-Demon descendant with strong demonic power to serve as a vessel for the Ten-tailed Sky Fox.
Everyone said that her mother was an experintal subject to accomplish the Demon Clan’s mission.
Because no one believed that the proud and powerful Fox King could truly fall in love with a human man.
But having seen it with her own eyes, Scarlett Jennings believed it.
Her mother was not so experintal subject.
She was a child born of the utmost love and expectation from her parents.
…
Ti spun quickly, and with a blink, Scarlett Jennings saw Magnolia Hearne three years later.
A little girl in a dress with two small pigtails, looking very adorable.
She trotted around the forest picking all the beautiful flowers she could find, accompanied by two foxes that were obviously nannies.
Suddenly, a demonic wind blew through and the two foxes vanished.
Then, the tall figure of Aaron Hearne appeared before Magnolia Hearne, his eyes full of scrutiny and indifference.
“You’re the child she gave birth to?”
The three-year-old little girl looked up at the big brother in front of her, and with those words, grinned widely, revealing her small teeth, and offered the flowers in her hand to him.
Aaron Hearne scoffed coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the flowers in the little girl’s hand were decapitated.
Scarlett Jennings watched Aaron Hearne’s actions in disbelief.
This Aaron Hearne, even though he’s a millennia-old Great Demon, is actually…bullying a child!
No wonder her mother later didn’t like this brother.
In front of her, the three-year-old mother clearly didn’t realize the hostility directed at her, just looking at the handful of flowers she had painstakingly picked, now reduced to a few bare sticks.
After a pause of two seconds, her round eyes quickly filled with tears, and then she began to wail.
Aaron Hearne watched the little girl before him start crying loudly, his cold face visibly stiffening.
