Capturing a Maiden to Be the Fox Queen

"Woman, you actually plotted against me!"

The woman dared not look into his eyes. She hid her blood-soaked hand behind her back and slowly retreated, searching for a chance to escape. Seeing through her intentions, the man advanced step by step, trapping her in a corner.

"Speak! Why did you plot against me?"

The man in red closed in on her. The chill radiating from him made her shiver.

The woman dared not meet his furious gaze. She held out her blood-soaked hand and said, somewhat uncertainly, "I'm not a good person... I'm deceitful and hot-tempered. The slightest thing going wrong makes me kill, and I don't care whether someone is good or evil. My methods are cruel, too..."

The man in red curled his lips into a smile, a bewitching look in his eyes. "You kill people, I destroy souls. You do bad things, I do worse. If we're going to be villains, we'll do it together. Neither of us gets to walk away with clean hands!"

"You..."

"By the way! Didn't you ask why I insist on staying here? I'll tell you now."

The man in red forcibly lifted the woman's chin, making her look into his eyes. He stared into hers and slowly said, one word at a time:

"Because I like you! No matter how well-versed you are in the art of war or how ruthless you are, as long as I don't let go, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime!"
