A hundred years ago, Murong Shao, now a great general of the demon race, was a low-ranking disciple of an immortal sect.
Back then, he lived in Medicine Valley with a fluffy little spirit beast, making a living by growing medicinal herbs and selling handmade goods.
The man and beast kept each other company for more than ten years.
The little spirit beast took human form, but was still a round little thing, innocent and greedy, always clamoring to go out and play. It gave Murong Shao no end of worry.
At last, one day, the little spirit beast was tricked away by a villain from outside. It was skinned and dismembered, and made into a medicinal ingredient for that person's beloved.
That day, Murong Shao blew up his immortal core and nearly went mad.
This was the beginning of his fall into demonic cultivation.
A hundred years passed in a blink. Murong Shao became a great general of the demon race and captured more than a dozen major cities of the celestial race.
Forced to negotiate peace, the celestial race respectfully invited him to the southern reaches of the celestial realm.
It was spring, and the waters of the Southern Celestial River had grown warm.
The young fox lord of Qingqiu had gone to the celestial realm to visit her aunt. Passing through the southern reaches, she happily leaped into the river to wash her fur.
On the waterside pavilion, Murong Shao's expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet.
The celestial envoy returned to report the terms of the negotiations, stammering:
"He wants three cities, an immortal valley, the Ming and Hong clans executed, and..."
He also wanted the only young ancestor of Qingqiu, that wicked little scoundrel.
