The sickly human painter x the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox fairy
Jiang Ronger felt like she was going to die.
Congenital heart disease prevented her from living past the age of eighteen. She had long accepted this fact and just wanted to paint more pictures for her grandparents in the fishing village and the sea in her last days.
Until that day, she coughed up blood and fainted on the rocks.
When she woke up, a silver-haired man was leaning over to look at her, his eyes were as light as moonlight, and his fingertips were still stained with her blood.
"Who... Are you?"
He was silent for a moment and answered the question: "Your blood smells very good."
Later, Jiang Ronger learned that the blood she coughed up could cure the nine-tailed fox that failed to survive the tribulation thousands of years ago and was still suffering from internal injuries.
He moved into her old house in the name of "recuperating from her injuries" and stayed with her day and night - waiting for her to get sick, waiting for her to cough up blood, and waiting for the life-extending medicine.
But he forgot to ask himself:
If it was just for blood, why was she willing to reveal the Nine Tails and spend thousands of years cultivating her when she was critically ill?
If it was just for use, why would he have red eyes when she only drew the same person in her past and present lives?
A hundred years ago, in order to save a mortal girl, he personally cut out the demon pill and ensured her reincarnation.
A hundred years later, he was repaying for every mouthful of blood she coughed up.
——
The nine-tailed fox knows only one master in his life.
Once recognized, it will be life after life.
