I’m a demon.
That’s right, a fox demon who’s been around for ten thousand years.
And yes, you read that right: I’m fighting a bunch of aunties over eggs.
Why did I come to the human world? To repay a kindness?
No, no, no. Stop letting your imagination run wild.
I came here to study. I’m a bona fide working fox, slogging away for a few measly coins.
You’re wondering why I don’t use magic? Heh. Take a guess.
“Miss Bai, you still haven’t paid your rent. This is your last day. If you don’t pay, you’re out!” Auntie Liu, my landlady, has a voice loud enough to make my ears ring.
“I’m sorry! The company pays us tomorrow. As soon as I get my salary, I’ll transfer it to you. I promise.” That’s me, groveling.
I’m Bai Qiqi, a white fox of the venerable age of fifteen thousand. As for why I’m called Bai Qiqi, I’m number seven among my many brothers and sisters. Sigh...
“Qiqi, when are you coming home? Your little brother was just born. Remember to buy plenty of diapers when you come back.”
Before I could even answer, Mom hung up. Life... no, fox life is just too hard.
Looking at the paltry balance in my banking app, Qiqi felt like crying. She wiped away her tears. A working stiff doesn’t have time to feel sad and waste it. She had an early meeting tomorrow. Better wash up and go to bed.
“You really are going to kill me, Qiqi?”
“Qingqing, you shouldn’t kill people.”
“Hehehe. Qiqi, don’t forget, you’re a demon too.”
“I am. But I’m also a demon hunter of the Heavenly Gate. Qingqing, turn back.”
