The Villain Cat Who Was Wooed Is Reborn

A feisty, resilient little cat VS a gentle, sinister fox

In his previous life, Bai Yixun was the revered Demon Emperor, yet he was falsely accused of being a great demon.

At his darkest hour, only Xiao Muqing stayed by his side. To remain together with him, Bai Yixun missed the perfect chance to reclaim his demon core, resulting in the destruction of the entire demon race.

But all that unrequited devotion earned him was a false debt of love. It turned out he was only one of many targets Xiao Muqing had set out to win over. In the end, he died with a broken heart.

Later, he was unexpectedly reborn, only to find himself at the pivotal moment when his demon core had been dug out.

In his seven-inch beast form, he was driven to the brink by his pursuers. He flailed his claws in a futile struggle, then suddenly felt someone grab him by the scruff and stuff a dried fish into his mouth.

A voice he had longed for throughout his previous life sounded by his ear. "Don't worry. I'll protect you."

Bai Yixun chewed on the dried fish, cheeks puffed out.

As if I'd believe you. But a wise man doesn't fight when he's outmatched. Once I recover, I'll kill you first!

After recovering a little spiritual power, the first thing Bai Yixun wanted to do was kill Xiao Muqing.

The other man looked completely bewildered and innocent, so Bai Yixun exposed his true nature and thrust his claws toward his heart.

The next moment, the vines shattered. He was restrained and pulled into arms scented with dragon's breath incense. Smooth, cool skin brushed his sensitive beast ears as the man murmured:

"So that's why you've been acting up. You still remember your previous life. But this time, I really did come back just for you."

**

Xiao Muqing helped him reclaim his demon core, then took possession of it under the pretext of prolonging his life.

Every time Bai Yixun used his demonic power, he had no choice but to entwine it with the other man's spiritual energy.

While being kept like a pet, Bai Yixun honed his claws and fangs, until one day he finally snapped the collar the other man had put around his neck.

When his claws pressed against the man's Adam's apple, the hot pulse beneath them made his paw tremble. It turned out that in all their constant entanglement, the line between love and hate had long since blurred.

"Get lost. If I see you again..."

Xiao Muqing's lips twisted into a faint smile. His pale fingertips suddenly plunged into his own core.

Amid the spreading mist of blood, he trembled as he dug out the bloodstained, crimson-gold demon core.

"Why wait until next time if you want my life? I can't live without you. If you find me annoying, how about I attach my soul to the demon core and stay by your side another way?"
