black fox took off running.
Now in his true form, if he lost the Fox Elixir, he would never be able to transform into a Nine-Tails Fox again.
"Catch him!"
However, the Empress was unwilling to let this opportunity slip away. She forced herself to rise and commanded her kin.
"Ren Fei, didn't you say you were willing to pay any price for my son?"
"Now, all I want is your Fox Elixir."
The cries of black fox echoed across the sacrificial platform. He was already injured and could not withstand the assault from so many of his kin. His strength rapidly waned with the loss of the Fox Elixir, and even as Ren Fei struggled desperately, there was nothing that could be done to stop it.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his sister sacrificed the Fox Elixir, restoring calm to the chaos.
The farce had finally come to an end.
I looked around at the devastation and felt an inexplicable weariness settle in my heart. I wondered when these days would finally come to an end.
I wanted to leave, and just as I turned around, I felt a weight on my shoulder. A small white fox was snuggled up against me.
"Let's go together," he said softly.
I took Yu Cheng with me to a cave, seeking a moment of peace.
In the deep of night, I leaned against the hot spring while the white fox transformed into human form, allowing my hands to wander over his chest muscles.
In his eyes lay a depth of emotion I could not comprehend.
"Yu Cheng, do you truly love me so much?" I asked in confusion.
From our first meeting, he had sworn an oath to never part from me through life and death.
But how could he feel such deep affection for me when we had just met?
"Jiao Jiao, this is not our first meeting," he said, pressing his palm against mine. "You simply don't remember me."
...
He raised his hand and used his spiritual energy to transmit a memory to me.
It turned out that during my childhood, I had saved a little white fox several times. And that little white fox was Yu Cheng.
"If you hadn't saved me back then, I would have died long ago."
We already had a connection.
"So, you fell for me because I saved you?" I felt an inexplicable unease. If it was merely out of gratitude, he didn't need to go this far...
"No."
He shook his head. "Whether in this life or the past, I have always liked you."
His voice fell into my ears, bringing me an unexpected sense of peace.
The sound of my heart beating was particularly clear, and I realized that I seemed to have truly developed feelings for this man I had only just met.
"Jiao Jiao, from now on, let's stay together until we grow old, okay?"
He gently brushed against my calf.
His voice carried a seductive tone that made it hard for me to resist.
I swallowed hard, my voice hoarse. "How do you want me to accompany you?"
He leaned in closer, stirring up a pool of emotions within me.
After leaving the cave, I saw black fox squatting outside the barrier, his gaze fixed intently on me.
I paused in my steps; he was already in tears.
"Hong Jiao, only now do I understand that you are the only one who treats me as an equal..."
He regretted it.
Regret is of no use.
He originally thought that by allying with the heir of the Fox Clan, Contract, he would attain wealth and glory.
But in reality, aside from obtaining a Crimson Pearl Elixir, he had nothing else of value.
Once the deed was done, he was of no further use to anyone.
My mother was extremely disappointed in him, even suspecting that he had colluded with me to deceive her, and she tortured him mercilessly.
black fox had narrowly escaped from my mother’s grasp, only to be tormented by Hong Qiao, who pursued him relentlessly.
Seeing Hong Qiao closing in, I hurriedly hid in the shadows.
During the day, Hong Qiao had lost control and injured herself severely; now her temperament had changed drastically.
She was gripping black fox's neck tightly, fuming, “Ren Fei, you worthless fool!”
“I asked you to help me deal with that wretched Hong Jiao, and at a critical moment, you abandoned me?”
“You even tried to put me to death!”
“Are you trying to contest my claim to inheritance? Is that why you deliberately formed a Contract with me, hoping to siphon off my spiritual energy?”
Ren Fei's face turned crimson, unable to utter a word.
“You were the one who said you loved me and were willing to be my servant; how is it that now all those words mean nothing?”
Ren Fei was in pain and despair, while I remained as calm as still water.
When he thrust a dagger towards me, our bond was already severed beyond repair.
“Jiao Jiao, do you really not want him anymore?”
Yu Cheng's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
I raised an eyebrow, “What? Do you think he’s better than you?”
He shook his head, “How could he compare to me?”
“I am the one who treats you the best.”
“That’s more like it.”
I nodded in satisfaction.
