The Mute Fox’s Nine Tails Illuminate the Blind Heart

> In the snowy mountains at night, Ji Wuhong's fingertips touched something warm, damp, and soft.

> "Are you hurt?" He took off his cloak and wrapped it around the white fox on the verge of death.

> The nine-tailed demon king, Hu Kusheng, had never been so miserable. Gravely wounded by his mortal enemy, he was now being kept as a pet by a mere mortal.

> He watched coldly as the young master fumbled with the medicine, but panicked when tears fell from those blind eyes.

> A fox tail quietly curled around the blister left by the hot medicine jar.

> Ji Wuhong suddenly gripped his paw. "It was you, wasn't it?"

> On the night Hu Kusheng transferred his demon core into the young master's body, he discovered that the seal on the man's century-old muteness...

> Was melting away, inch by inch, between their lips.
