The Fox Bride

■ A ruthless nobleman who plays the power game x a wild fox who repays her debt

Yinyuan: "Benefactor, I'm here to pounce on you!"

The eldest young master was attacked.

As a cold blade pressed against his throat, the assassin suddenly contorted, blood spilling from his mouth, as someone tore out his heart from his chest.

Yuwen Shulan gripped his knife and took half a step back. As the corpse fell, a sweet-faced, dazed young woman licked the blood from her finger. When she saw him, she hurriedly hid her hand behind her back. Her grape-black eyes darted about excitedly, like a beast eyeing its prey.

Yuwen Shulan's hand on the knife grew slick with cold sweat.

But the dazed young woman pounced on him and knocked him onto the bed. "Mm! Benefactor, I'm here to repay you!"

"Repay me for what?"

Yuwen Shulan asked with a frown.

The dazed young woman looked confused. She tugged at her dark hair, growing a little frantic. The next instant, a pair of fluffy fox ears popped up on her head with a "whoosh."

She pointed to her fox ears, tugging and pulling at them in disbelief. "You saved me! Don't you remember?!"

"When did that happen...?"

"You really forgot? Aaaaaah!"

At some point, the dazed young woman had also revealed her tail. She clutched it and burst into tears.

Yuwen Shulan was taken aback. He had never considered himself a good person.

The only time was last month, when he happened to see soldiers hunting wild foxes and tormenting them for fun. To assert his authority before his younger brother, who was with him, he stepped in and taught them a lesson himself.

As they were leaving, his ninth younger brother pointed at the cage and sneered.

"Eldest brother, look. This beast seems to have developed a spirit. Its eyes are more alluring than the concubines in my residence."

Swords rang as they were drawn.

His ninth brother gestured with his sword. "I'm afraid this beast will turn human and cling to my eldest brother. Better let me put an end to it for you now, and make this demon die by my blade!"

"No."

Yuwen Shulan remembered turning around and casually glancing at the black eyes in the cage, and the little tail quietly pressing down on the iron cage's key. He smiled faintly.

"All living things have a spirit. I hope she'll come looking for me."

This story is also titled Benefactor, Let Me Pounce on You! A little fox searches the world for her beloved, and finally sells herself to him.

3. There are no absolutely good or absolutely bad people.
