Here's an upcoming story to look forward to 💛 > The Beautiful Immortal Venerable Is Relentlessly Clung To by a Little Merman
Brooding, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted sickly beauty who secretly pets fluffy things [Lan Yu] x timid, death-fearing little fox who secretly holds grudges [Jin He]
[One likes being bitten x one likes biting ghosts]
Lan Yu used to be a cultivator. Later, she became an evil ghost hunted by the immortal sects.
She was sealed in the abyss for over a hundred years, and she was going nearly mad with boredom.
The whole area for a hundred miles around belonged to her, but unfortunately, all she had for company were skeletons.
Her only pastime was carving the names of the people who sealed her into wooden plaques, her face dark with resentment.
Later, Lan Yu found a little fox demon who was barely clinging to life.
Good news: the fox demon survived.
Bad news: Lan Yu had to press her down and kiss her to bring her around.
Feeling her spiritual energy being drained, Lan Yu laughed in anger.
She reached out and felt the fox demon's fluffy ears...
Lan Yu thought: Hmm... so soft. I'll get mad at her after I've had my fill of petting her.
But on the outside, she kept a cold face and deliberately tried to scare the whimpering fox as she snuggled closer.
Lan Yu: Wild foxes in the mountains sure do make awful noises.
The fox demon was frightened. Once she timidly realized she'd provoked an evil ghost, she stammered out a suggestion.
Fox demon: I'll repay you with myself. Let's become mates.
Lan Yu: ???
Lan Yu: Is that how they taught you to repay a favor back home?
The fox demon didn't even dare look at her. “Um...”
The sickly ghost looked up at the little fox, chin held high as she blustered, and her hand drifted back to the fluffy tail.
Lan Yu: Hmm. Fine.
The moment Lan Yu agreed, the fox demon regretted it. The ghost, surrounded by a chilling aura, held her down and wouldn't let her move.
Lan Yu: You know what becoming mates involves, right?
Jin He timidly hunched her shoulders. “I do...”
Lan Yu had just touched the fox's fluffy tail when the fox turned around and bit her.
Lan Yu: ...
Ever since Lan Yu took in the little fox, she's been bitten every day.
The fox bites Lan Yu when she's unhappy, bites her when she's in pain, and even bites her while sleeping curled up in Lan Yu's arms...
But Lan Yu doesn't get mad. She thinks the little fox is just teething, and even eagerly offers her the only hand she hasn't been bitten on yet.
Lan Yu: Good girl, Hehe. Bite here.
The fox thinks Lan Yu is taunting her. Her eyes turn red, and she stares at Lan Yu as if she's about to cry.
Jin He waits until Lan Yu is busy confronting the immortal sect and has no time to keep an eye on her, then tries to sneak away.
But she doesn't get far before someone knocks her out.
Lan Yu pins the disobedient little fox down in a mountain spring, water mist swirling around them and splashing up now and then.
Jin He: Let go! Didn't you say foxes make awful noises?!
Lan Yu puts on the same weak, pitiful act she usually uses and coaxes the red-eyed, tearful fox.
Lan Yu: Good girl, Hehe. I only have you. Don't abandon me.
Lan Yu's soaked clothes make her look even frailer and more pitiful, as though the fox were about to abandon this poor little ghost.
Jin He can't help softening.
But there's a price to pay for being softhearted. Jin He finds that out firsthand, while that shameless ghost offers her hand to the fox's mouth again.
Lan Yu: Doesn't my little fox want to bite today?
