A Fox Spirit Has Its Eye on Me

1.

Sui Yan is the first male fox in a thousand years to cultivate nine tails. His cultivation is arduous, and even his tribulation is more complicated than that of other foxes.

The elders of his clan once said that he must have the aid of the person with the most exalted fate in the human world to achieve true enlightenment and ascend.

As it happened, the human emperor led his retinue to pay their respects at a mountain temple.

Watching from afar, Sui Yan pointed at the royal nobles and asked, "Is there anyone here who can help me through my tribulation?"

"There is."

"Which one? The emperor? The crown prince? Or a princess?"

The elder shook his head and pointed to one side. "That person is the most exalted in the human world."

Sui Yan followed his gesture, only to see a little female Taoist with a sallow, gaunt face and dust all over her.

2.

You Ning was the daughter of the emperor's favored consort, but when strange signs appeared in the heavens at her birth, she was declared the reincarnation of a calamity star. She was sent away to a mountain temple and forbidden from ever setting foot in the capital.

Life in the mountains was bleak. Every day, You Ning wondered when she would finally die.

One day, a man suddenly appeared in her room. He was handsome, but covered in demonic energy, and his sharp teeth looked capable of biting through someone's neck.

You Ning calmly looked at him and asked, "Are you a monster from the mountains? Have you come to take my life?"

The young man smiled, and all the malice and demonic aura surrounding him instantly transformed into an overwhelming, dazzling charm.

He nestled obediently against her leg and said softly, "I've come to ask for the fairy maiden's kindness."
