"Ah!!!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out, "How unfair is this fate! I, Biluo, have never done anything immoral or heinous, why must this be done to me?!"

Leng Yue was shielded behind Qian Chen, while a woman in green knelt on the grass in the distance. The woman was beautiful, like a celestial maiden, yet possessed a natural allure. However, her tail was trembling incessantly, indicating that she was in great pain.

For some unknown reason, Leng Yue brushed Qian Chen's hand aside and gently approached the woman. "Do you need help?" Leng Yue asked, squatting down in front of the woman.

The woman looked up at Leng Yue, one hand clutching her abdomen, her face growing paler. "Save my child, my child is about to come out..."

Seeing this, Leng Yue knew the woman was about to give birth, so she opened a protective barrier around her. After doing this, Leng Yue gestured for Qian Chen to leave, and then prepared to assist in the delivery.

"Push, push, take a deep breath, come on, follow me!" Leng Yue looked at the woman and guided her to adjust her breathing. The woman obediently followed along, and before long, she gave birth to a lovely baby girl. The girl was very beautiful, but she had a pair of fox ears.

Leng Yue brought the child to the woman and said, "Look, she's a very pretty girl."

The woman glanced at him, then collapsed to the ground. Leng Yue tried to reach out to help her up, but the woman refused. The woman's breath was weak as she spoke with difficulty.

“I am Biluo of the Qingqiu clan. This child is mine and a man from the human world. I know my time is coming to an end, and I only hope that my benefactor can help me raise this child to adulthood. There is only one condition: for the rest of my life, the child must never set foot in the human world.”

Leng Yue hesitated, "Biluo, we don't know how long we can stay here, so..."

Biluo grasped Lengyue's hand with difficulty, "Humans are the most untrustworthy. If it weren't for them, how could I have ended up dying and perishing?"

Biluo was originally an innocent little fox from Qingqiu. When she was five hundred years old, she ran away to the mortal world and was captivated by the novel things in the human world.

Later, she met the man who would change her fate, plunging her into an endless sea of ​​suffering. The man she loved was no ordinary man; he was a demon hunter. Ironically, wasn't he? He had known all along that she was a fox demon, yet he flattered her, all to obtain her inner core and save his dying beloved.

Biluo didn't understand what she had done wrong. What had her child done wrong? She also didn't know why men could be so heartless. Just a second ago, they were promising to meet again in the next life, so full of tenderness and affection. Why could they turn around and plunge the demon-slaying sword into her chest, taking away her inner core without batting an eye?

Why? Why is this happening? Biluo didn't understand; she didn't know why things were like this.

"I hate it so much. Why couldn't I have seen through that person's true colors sooner?" Biluo said, looking at her daughter with reluctance. "It's just a pity for Jiu'er. I can't be there to watch her grow up..." Blood kept flowing from Biluo's mouth and chest.

"Don't talk anymore, it will get better..." Leng Yue had been channeling spiritual energy into Bi Luo for half a day, but she couldn't get a response at all.

Biluo shook her head, "My benefactor, I am already content to have seen you before I die and to have entrusted Jiu'er to you..."

"No, you still have a great grudge to avenge, you can't give up." Leng Yue kept trying, but the spiritual energy she sent out still disappeared without a trace.

“I’m tired,” Biluo sighed. “I can never get back the Immortal Pearl that my mother left me. Oh well, oh well…” Biluo took one last deep look at the baby before she breathed her last.

After Biluo died, she transformed into a fox and lay quietly on the grass. Qianchen saw Lengyue sitting blankly on the ground, staring at the fox's corpse, and felt somewhat worried.

"Are you alright?" Qian Chen helped Leng Yue up from the ground. Seeing the child in her arms, he took off his clothes, wrapped the child in them, and held him close. The child stared at Qian Chen with wide eyes, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Leng Yue looked over and reached out to touch the child's face. "From now on, you'll be called Nine-Tailed Fox, and your nickname will be Jiu'er." Upon hearing Leng Yue's voice, the child's little hands flailing around, and then he grabbed Leng Yue's finger.

"It seems like fate. Let's keep her for now." Qianchen looked at Lengyue. "Did something happen?"

Leng Yue shook her head. "It is said that men are fickle since ancient times, and seeing it today, it is indeed true." Leng Yue sighed and told Qian Chen about Bi Luo's experience.

"Don't overthink it. Let's bury her now; she was a pitiful woman." Qianchen sighed, then added, "Not all women are heartless; there are good ones too. We just need to be discerning!"

Leng Yue remained noncommittal, took the child over, and had Qian Chen choose a feng shui-friendly place for Bi Luo's burial, and even erected a stone tablet for her.

Aside from Biluo's name, the stone tablet was blank. Leng Yue knew she was a fox demon from Qingqiu, but she didn't know where she came from or where she was going. As for the Nine-Tailed Fox, she was still young. Therefore, the stone tablet contained nothing but a simple name.

After burying Biluo, the two left with the child. They couldn't keep the Nine-Tailed Fox indefinitely, so they wanted to give it away. However, since the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't look like a normal child, they decided to go to Qingqiu.

"Does Qingqiu still have Biluo's family?" Qianchen carefully held Jiuwei, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

"I don't know, we'll have to go and see." Leng Yue looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox's little ears and couldn't help but reach out and poke them. As expected, the Nine-Tailed Fox frowned uncomfortably, and Qian Chen helplessly tapped Leng Yue's nose, "Why are you acting like a child?"

Leng Yue remained silent, took out her flying sword, and the group flew towards Qingqiu. A cold wind howled along the way, yet the Nine-Tailed Fox remained undisturbed.

Upon arriving in Qingqiu, Leng Yue sighed, "This child is so carefree. His mother passed away, and he was flying through the air, yet he didn't even feel it?"

"She's still young, how can you expect her to feel anything?" Qian Chen said helplessly. He felt that among the three of them, Leng Yue was the most like a child.

Qingqiu is beautiful and full of spiritual energy. Leng Yue took a few deep breaths, then stretched comfortably before heading inside.

Qingqiu was not enveloped by a barrier, but rather blocked from contact with the human world by a stone gate. This stone gate looked enormous; ordinary people certainly wouldn't come to these towering mountains to lift up such a massive stone gate.

Therefore, those who can pass through this barrier are either able to fly or possess immense strength. And coincidentally, Leng Yue and her companions belong to the latter category.

The fox clan of Qingqiu is not what one might imagine. They do not live in trees or caves. They also have houses, but the style of their houses is different from that of the human world.

They entered the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Clan and were immediately discovered. Then people came out of the houses, along with many little foxes, who surrounded Leng Yue and Qian Chen, watching them curiously.
