A Love Story Between a Thousand-Year-Old Great Demon and a Little Auspicious Beast

A thousand-year-old great demon suddenly picked up a little auspicious beast. I was curious: How had a demon who was always cold and solitary suddenly decided to keep a pet? And an auspicious beast, no less?

I watched the demon hold the little beast in his hands, afraid it might get cold, and then in his mouth, afraid it might melt. I'd never seen him dote on anything like that, not even in the several centuries I've been alive. What a marvel. (I'm a demon too, and I live just across half a mountain from the thousand-year-old demon.)
