Sweet romance + nurturing + interspecies love
The fox curled up on the soft couch in the pavilion master’s bedchamber, munching on spirit fruit and swishing its tail as it grumbled. The rumors going around the martial world that “Shen Qingci is cold, ruthless, celibate, and hates pets” were pure nonsense. The pavilion master was always chasing after it to brush its fur and feed it meat, and even stuffed it into his sleeve whenever he went out.
Shen Qingci had noticed that his snow fox was acting stranger and stranger. It not only used its paws to open his secret letters, but dared to jump onto his desk and mess up his maps. It even crawled into his bed in the middle of the night, nudging his chin with its little head.
Then one morning, he opened his eyes to find a little girl as round and white as a snowball lying beside him, tugging at his hair ribbon with her soft little hands. The snow fox that had always clung to him had vanished without a trace.
From then on, the usually cold-hearted pavilion master looked at his “little pet” with undisguised possessiveness.
Meanwhile, the fox, still unable to figure out how it had taken human form, swished its tail and sidled up to him. “Pavilion Master, I want sweet spirit fruit today!”
Shen Qingci pinched her little cheek and chuckled. “I don’t have any sweet fruit, but I do have something even sweeter. Want to try it?”
