Raising a Fox Again

1.

Yuan Ze found an injured fox on the mountain. Its coat gleamed like fire, and it looked like it would fetch a good price.

She took him home, treated his wounds, and fed him, all so he'd recover enough for her to sell him to a hunter who knew how to skin foxes!

The fox knew, but he didn't say a word.

Hmph. Once his demonic powers recovered and he turned back into a human, he'd make her pay!

Day after day passed as Yuan Ze brewed tea, planted vegetables, and blew up the kitchen. The hunter never showed up, but an exorcist who had come looking for her caught the fox in a restraining formation.

The fox couldn't move. A furious growl forced its way up his throat.

Just then, the bamboo door creaked open. Yuan Ze yawned and half-lifted her eyelids. "You came all this way without announcing yourselves. Fine. But why are you stealing my pillow?"

"...S-Senior Sister?"

The exorcist at the head of the group stiffened from head to toe. His finger slipped, and the formation suddenly became a killing formation.

Yuan Ze snapped her fingers, and the murderous formation vanished in an instant. The fox limped over to her and, in utter humiliation, rolled onto his back so she could rub his belly.

As she petted him, Yuan Ze took a piece of jerky from her bag and fed it to him. "Little Red, have you put on weight lately?"

In her previous life, Yuan Ze gravely injured her master, left the sect, and ended up hunted by countless people, with everyone condemning her.

Among them were sect elders, fellow disciples, and even her younger sister.

When she stood against the whole world, the only one by her side was a fox demon she'd once found thoroughly irritating.

She couldn't get rid of him. Even when she said cruel things to him, he would only lower his lashes in silence, looking a little hurt, and keep following her.

He said, "I won't hold you back."

Later, his beautiful, radiant face covered in blood, he used the last of his demonic power to send Yuan Ze beyond the encirclement.

Yuan Ze was in the middle of a breakthrough. She watched helplessly as she drifted farther and farther away from him, cursing the stupid fox over and over in her heart.

Before she could finish cursing him, her eyes began to sting with tears.

Yuan Ze had always found him annoying.

But in the end, even he was gone.

Lin Suwan shouldered her pack and headed north to Tiancheng Sect, said to be the greatest sect under heaven. The road was long and the mountains high. She encountered demons and evil spirits along the way, and dealt with them as she went, saving many people, directly and indirectly.

Since she was only sixteen, everyone she saved called her the Little Bodhisattva.

A man with black hair and white robes always followed behind the Little Bodhisattva. He was handsome and silent, like a patch of lingering snow on a branch. He seemed part demon, part ghost, and not at all human.

Heavy snow fell through the night. The man huddled in a corner outside the inn, covered in snow and nearly blending into the white landscape.

At last, that white demon ghost was going to die! Everyone was delighted.

Yet on a night when every household kept its doors shut, Lin Suwan went to the man alone.

She touched his cold, pale cheek. Her eyes held hatred, anger, and pain. Then she seized him by the throat, gripping the long, slender column of flesh in her hand. It held not a trace of warmth.

She said coldly, "Wen Yu, you don't get to die that easily."

Wen Yu was forced to raise his head. His frost-covered lashes slowly opened. "...Junior Sister."

Wen Yu was her senior brother. They shared a blood feud.
