"That fox demon wanted to experience the feeling of being loved by Xu Shan, and I didn't want to die in embarrassment on the bed. The deal with it was a matter of mutual consent."
"Furthermore, from the very beginning, we never intended to do anything that would harm the world. The time limit is three months. If Xu Shan can recognize that there is a new person in that body, the fox demon will not do anything. He may even cure my illness so that we can continue to live a happy and fulfilling life."
"But if he fails to recognize it, after three months, the fox demon will take something from Xu Shan to make up for the luck it gave him previously."
"He was the one who took the wrong path. I just wanted to protect myself after realizing my mistake. That's all."
What Xu Shan did was extremely excessive, and she couldn't explain it to others in just a few words. She carefully recalled the past and showed the part below the tip of the iceberg to everyone.
He was so good at disguising himself that everyone in the village knew how good he was to her.
After all, there were very few people like her who didn't have to work outside all year round, not to mention that he was the one doing all the cooking and laundry. But so what? When they said this, they didn't see the shackles on her feet, nor did they see the red marks on her ankles from years of wear and tear, nor did they understand her desire to return home.
In front of everyone, if she betrayed Xu Shan and did not love Xu Shan, she would be ungrateful, and no matter what Xu Shan did, it would be her fault.
But who cares what the truth is? Even these immortal masters in front of her think it is her fault. She created the cause first, and this is the bitter result.
Perhaps the bitterness behind this love was too painful, so no one spoke again.
Yuan Ce, who had been somewhat biased towards Qing Niang, lowered his head with a sense of guilt and stood there at a loss, "Sorry."
Yuan Ce's voice was not small. He even couldn't believe that Xu Shan, who looked honest and decent, was such a person. He locked people up. What was the difference between him and that kid?
Ning Wan's eyes darkened slightly, and the more she listened, the deeper her frown deepened.
[Host, don't be confused. People's hearts change. When existing material conditions can no longer support the promises made over and over again, those feelings will begin to wear away.]
Xiao Qi has been with Ning Wan for a long time. Even if it is just a simple frown, it will instantly understand what the host means.
In its view, Xu Shan and Qing Niang were in love, but one was a doted-on young lady, while the other was a hunter who just wanted to survive. They had different values, so how could they be expected to rely on love to last?
Ning Wan's brows relaxed slightly after hearing Xiao Qi's words.
Xiaoqi's words woke her up. Qingniang might have liked Xu Shan, but after more than 20 years, she regretted her willingness to say goodbye to her family for love, and even hated herself for loving Xu Shan.
"Have you ever thought about looking for your parents?" Ning Wan asked abruptly as she looked at Qing Niang, who had tears in her eyes and was emotionally broken.
Qing Niang was stunned for a moment. Perhaps because she was too grief-stricken, she opened her mouth and took a long time to utter those few words, "...It's...too late."
Perhaps she deserved to die, and only death could atone for her sins, but after her serious illness, she no longer had the courage, and was extremely selfish in her desire for the freedom she was about to gain.
The house was silent.
After a long time, the door was opened again.
Chen Jinggu walked in front with Ning Wan, followed by Yuan Ce, He Song and others.
They came to Xu Shan's yard again, knocked him unconscious without giving him any chance, let him fall to the ground, and then walked into the house effortlessly.
Just as Qingniang had said, the fox demon who had taken possession of Qingniang was locked in the room, the chains on her feet dragging on the ground. However, her face didn't show any sadness at all. Instead, she was in a very good mood as she put on her makeup in front of the mirror.
"how?"
"Master, are you planning to get this human's skin back?"
The fox demon didn't seem surprised by the appearance of Shen Jinggu and his group. He didn't even look back at them. His tone was calm with a hint of sarcasm: "Since you are here, you should know about the deal between her and me."
"Just because you have more people doesn't mean you have the right. Even if you bring more people back, as long as Xu Shan doesn't find out that there is a soul inside this skin, I won't return it."
"If you guys try to rob me, don't blame me for preferring death to disgrace."
The fox demon and Xu Shan had some entanglements, but Qingniang didn't care at the moment. She looked at the old skin and said without hesitation, "I'm leaving. Leave here."
The fox demon paused, then scoffed inwardly, "Are you giving up?"
Qing Niang glanced at the house that had trapped her for over twenty years and nodded again, "Yeah."
The fox demon was stunned, but it was a little funny. "Didn't you swear before that Xu Shan would definitely recognize you? Why are you giving up now?"
Qingniang did not answer, but thought in her heart: Three months, she had waited too long, long enough for her to rely on recalling every little bit of the past to overturn her only remaining trust in Xu Shan.
"Don't you care about his life?"
The fox demon has not forgotten what Qingniang had done before.
After exchanging bodies, Qingniang was not locked up in the cave. On the contrary, she was free.
In the first month, she stayed in a corner outside the yard every day. Because she could not speak, Xu Shan often took her as prey and captured her.
If she hadn't secretly helped her, she would have died at Xu Shan's hands long ago.
Until the last month, she really couldn't bear it anymore, so she changed her identity again, found Xu Shan, took him to the cave, and told him that Qingniang was a mountain god in disguise and could not be killed easily, thus saving her from being skinned alive.
