Darling, My Nine-Tailed Fox

The sound of fangs sinking into flesh was like a requiem for the dead. My entire world fell silent.

Dawn, is that really you? The warm curves of your face were gone, replaced by a gaze that dismissed everything, and it made my heart ache. You stood at a height I could never reach. I fought through the pain to look up at you, desperate to get closer, even just a little... But in the end, you turned and went into that endless black hole.

I could only watch in silence, remembering how you used to be. Your radiant smile lit up the whole world, and everything in your eyes was beautiful, boundless... I was afraid... afraid the filth covering me would stain you...

Letting memories erode my mind, I pictured your hair fluttering and the corners of your mouth lifting. Then I closed my eyes and smiled contentedly... waiting for your fangs to pierce my body... giving my life so you could live forever...

Cruelty after the utmost tenderness. When everything overturned all reason, a shattered person and a broken heart remained. Only the tear rolling from the corner of his eye seemed to reveal the reluctance in his heart. From that day on, he, Poxiao, would be the king of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan!

Nine-tailed foxes must consume the flesh and blood of the woman they love most to gain eternal life.
