In the world of cultivation, there was a wicked archfiend with formidable powers and a host of underlings. He roamed far and wide, burning, killing, looting, and committing every imaginable evil.
One day, after enduring hundreds of years of oppression, the righteous sects joined forces and stormed the archfiend's mountain stronghold.
But once they had subdued and sealed the wicked archfiend, everyone was left dumbfounded.
What was this? A red-furred fox? The archfiend was actually a little red fox!
Even more absurdly, this fox had already reached the half-immortal realm and was practically invulnerable.
The righteous sects held an emergency meeting that very night.
No matter what, they couldn't let this archfiend roam free, much less undo the seal and reclaim a thousand years of cultivation!
To that end, every major sect sent its elite disciples to take turns guarding it.
Suddenly, Fox Mountain had several new keepers.
Sui Mo was very pleased. He'd lost all his cultivation, sure, but having a few servants to wait on him was pretty nice too.
The junior disciple from the Kunlun Sect was a master at brushing fur.
The aloof, handsome man from the Liuyan Sect cooked food that was perfectly suited to a fox's taste.
And the cool-headed sect leader of the Feiwu Sect raised chickens that were especially delicious!
Sui Mo was having such a good time on the mountain that he thought life was even better than when he was an archfiend.
Of course, it would be even better if his few pooper-scoopers could get along a little more harmoniously.
.
Then one day, a great master of the cultivation world, a grandmaster revered by all, suddenly emerged from seclusion.
The righteous sects, who had suffered at the fox's paws for so long, thought they'd found their savior and flocked to beg him for help.
“Grandmaster, please save us! That fox is far too arrogant.”
“Grandmaster, you're the only one who can deal with that fox now!”
“Grandmaster...”
That day, a new, incredibly handsome man arrived on Fox Mountain.
As soon as he came up the mountain, he saw a little red fox sprawled on a large rock.
The junior disciple from the Kunlun Sect was brushing its fur, the senior disciple from the Xiaoyao Sect was trimming its little claws, and the sect leader of the Liuyan Sect was nearby, wearing an apron and cooking for the fox...
“...This is the archfiend you were talking about?”
At the sound of his voice, the fox on the rock opened its eyes and looked over with big, round eyes.
Hmm? Was this a new servant sent by the righteous sects? Wonder what special talents he had.
But he was so handsome. Maybe the fox should just make him the headliner!
.
The red-furred fox was taken back to the residence of a mighty cultivator. The righteous sects finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as they thought the archfiend was about to be completely subdued, someone suddenly discovered that Mu Zheng's residence had turned into a fox den through and through.
Soft cushions everywhere, immortal artifacts chewed to bits, and...
Grandmaster! Wake up! Why have you started raising chickens too?
