Chapter 20 My Wife is a Vixen 20

"Oh, girl, are you here to cause trouble?" The storyteller didn't expect this person to not listen to the story properly and instead start shouting.

“This ending isn’t good.” A Ning frowned. “Change it.”

Others just found it funny.

"Girl, humans and demons are different, they can't be together anyway. You can't just focus on the love and affection in front of you."

"That's right. In the legends of monsters in storybooks, there are no happy endings for humans and monsters; they almost always suffer calamities."

"Tell the story as a story. There are already cases where marriages between families of unequal social standing have fallen through, not to mention the cases involving humans and demons."

"But they love each other, why can't they?" It doesn't affect anyone else.

A Ning's unease grew stronger.

The others just smiled when they heard what the little girl said.

Love cannot overcome all difficulties.

The common saying that love cannot overcome all difficulties made Ah Ning panic.

He left the teahouse in a daze.

She doesn't seem to have told Zhou Lixing that she is a demon. If he finds out later, will he think she was lying to him?

He's been gone for a while now, why hasn't he come back yet?

Thinking of this, A Ning decided that she would tell him her true identity when he returned. If he didn't care, then A Ning would never let him down.

If he cares, then I'll just treat it as a game, and we'll go our separate ways.

After figuring this out, A Ning felt much more at ease.

Jiutai Mountain.

The master looked at his gray-haired disciple with a hint of helplessness: "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I misunderstood before." Zhou Lixing was completely wooden, quite different from his usual self.

His eyes were empty and hopeless, like a marionette.

"From today onwards, you will change your name from Zhou Lixing to Qing Shuang."

"Zhou Lixing has been executed for violating clan rules."

"Zhou Lixing will never return to this world."

Qing Shuang tied up her gray hair, shouldered her sword, and went down the mountain, glancing back at the sect.

As usual, he came down the mountain this time to exorcise demons.

But this time, the demon they exorcised...

A Ning wandered aimlessly through the streets, buying whatever looked delicious or fun.

Suddenly, his ears twitched as he looked around, seemingly hearing a ringing sound.

She turned around and took her things to the old place she and Zhou Lixing used to frequent.

"Zhou Lixing!"

"You've finally arrived."

When Ah Ning saw the person, she was stunned. His hair was all white, even though he still looked like a young boy.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Qing Shuang, still holding the bell in her hand, stared blankly at the red rope and said, "You came so fast. I just finished ringing these bells not long ago."

"What's wrong? What happened?" A Ning looked worried and tried to grab his arm, but he dodged her.

“You…” A Ning looked puzzled, thinking something had happened to him.

But his words surprised her even more.

"I've come to settle things with you."

"To settle things?" A Ning asked uncertainly.

Qing Shuang looked at her: "Yes, let's settle this."

"Are you sick? I've waited for you for so long, and this is what you're going to tell me, right?" A-Ning wasn't exactly known for her good temper either.

Since he said that, Ah Ning wasn't a shameless person.

"Fine, since you don't want anything to do with me, let's settle things today." With that, A Ning raised her hand and tore the corner of her clothes: "Let's sever all ties."

"If we bump into each other on the street in the future, let's just pretend we don't know each other."

She didn't understand humans, but Zhou Lixing really made her angry, and it was all very inexplicable.

"Wait." Qing Shuang drew her sword and blocked her path.

Seeing him point his sword at her, A Ning truly couldn't believe it: "You actually dare to point a sword at me?"

Her eyes were red and she looked angry.

She was clearly furious, but her face was still stunningly beautiful.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Qing Shuang hadn't expected that she still wanted to keep it from her.

“We’ve already severed ties, cut ties completely, what do I have to say to you?” A Ning stepped forward and looked at him: “I don’t know what happened to you this time, but what you did is despicable.”

“You can talk things out calmly instead of getting angry at me for no reason.”

Qing Shuang's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and she uttered those two words in a hoarse voice.

"evildoer."

Ah Ning's angry face suddenly turned into surprise: "You're upset because of this?"

"I originally planned to tell you when we met..."

Qing Shuang tossed the string of bells upwards, and A Ning stopped talking, looking up at them.

He then flicked his sword in mid-air: "From now on, there will be no more Zhou Lixing, only Qing Shuang, the eldest disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect."

Looking at the red rope lying on the ground and the broken bell, A Ning really couldn't help but want to cry: "No wonder."

"No wonder you changed after you came back. So you're an exorcist who knew I was a demon."

"Humans and demons are on different paths, let alone demon exorcists."

Ah Ning looked up and wiped away her tears: "I have always wanted to hide my identity, and you have never asked me. On the contrary, you even said that you were some kind of lone swordsman."

"fraud!"

Qing Shuang remained silent, carrying her sword, her heart aching.

He asked the question he'd asked countless times: "Why are you a demon?"

"I, A Ning, am a demon, a fox spirit despised by the world." A Ning raised her chin to stop her tears from falling: "But so what?"

"From now on, let's go our separate ways and pretend we never knew each other."

"I'm the kind of person who can let things go easily, and I won't bother you by spreading rumors about you. Let's part ways here."

As she finished speaking, she was about to leave when he unexpectedly picked up his sword and attacked.

If A Ning hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been slashed by his sword.

"As a demon slayer, Qing Shuang must slay all the demons in the world." Qing Shuang looked at her sadly: "Zhou Lixing made a mistake, and I have to kill you to answer to the sect."

After saying that, he thrust his sword out again.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

A Ning dodged to the side and then reached out to block his attack.

The moment she was knocked away, the fox tail behind A Ning appeared and protected her.

"You actually want to kill me?" A Ning's eyes turned into vertical pupils.

Seeing that she had transformed into a demon, Qing Shuang showed no mercy: "A demon exorcist's job is to kill demons."

Ah Ning couldn't understand how a person could change so quickly.

Because she couldn't dodge in time and was hit by him several times, she couldn't bear it any longer and reached out her sharp claws to grab his neck, wanting to twist it off. But looking at his face, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Taking advantage of the opening, Qing Shuang stabbed her in the shoulder.

Looking down at the wound on her shoulder, A-Ning frowned and stared at him: "You..."

She lay on the ground, her face filled with disbelief: "Just because I'm a demon, you're so willing to disregard our past relationship and insist on killing me?"

Qing Shuang's hands were still trembling as she pushed the sword into her body, tears streaming down her face.

"My parents and my younger brother were all harmed by you monsters, yet I've fallen in love with you, you monster?"

Ah Ning let out a muffled groan.

Looking down at the sword, he said, "What does it have to do with me that your family was harmed by a demon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, A Ning's aura sent him flying to the ground, and the sword remained embedded beside Qing Shuang.

Ah Ning got up, and the bloodstains on her body looked even more vivid.
