Lu Xingchen thought that he had adapted again and that life would go on steadily, but something unexpected happened again.
One day, he went to take on a mission as usual. This time, he took on a team mission and would cooperate with randomly assigned disciples.
Teaming up with him was a junior sister named Xia Qing, who had a nice name and a gentle personality. She was a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak.
Lu Xingchen enjoyed the process of teaming up with her to complete the task.
Although his junior sister's cultivation level was inferior to his, he sincerely admired her decisiveness and ability to control the overall situation.
Even at the end of the mission, the moment when Junior Sister Qing'er looked at him with a smile and gave him encouragement was so beautiful. It was a wonderful feeling he had never experienced before. Perhaps this was love...
Lu Xingchen thought that Junior Sister Qing'er was so compatible with him in every aspect, and he also liked her. He should be brave and give it a try, otherwise he would regret it if he missed it.
If Junior Sister Qing'er showed any dislike, he would give up. Matters of the heart cannot be forced; both parties must be willing.
Then, He Lanzhi noticed that Lu Xingchen had been going to Yu Beast Peak to look for a junior sister named Xia Qing recently.
As a fox demon, he could tell at a glance that Lu Xingchen was trying to pursue that junior sister.
The thought that if this were to succeed, his star would be with that junior sister, and they would become a Taoist couple, and perhaps even have a child, and live a happy and harmonious life...
Just thinking about it made him almost crazy with jealousy.
He Lanzhi smiled bitterly, his laughter full of bitterness. He simply could not accept this possibility.
Fox demons have always had an unusually keen insight into the emotions of others, and their own emotions are no exception.
When Lu Xingchen was still a child, his feelings towards her were different.
Now, Lu Xingchen has grown up gradually. With the quiet passage of time, that special feeling has also grown like a seedling breaking through the soil, and finally turned into a lingering affection.
He knew he loved stars, there was no doubt about that.
But he also knew that he had hurt the stars and did not deserve their favor at all.
He Lanzhi sighed deeply. No matter what others said about him being selfish or bad, he just didn't want to accept it.
He hopes that Xingxing can find happiness, but he doesn't want to see him have a Taoist partner.
No matter what, he decided to stop it. Xingxing had already determined that he was a bad fox, so he might as well let him think so.
He Lanzhi smiled again, but her expression was extremely complicated. Her fox eyes were rolling around, and it was unknown what kind of strategy she was planning.
He took advantage of Lu Xingchen's absence from the mission to hook up with Junior Sister Xia Qing.
Relying on the fox's skills, which are almost innate, he made Xia Qing fall in love with him easily.
After Lu Xingchen returned, he learned about all this and was furious, venting his anger on He Lanzhi.
He Lanzhi endured it silently without any resistance, even though his body was covered with scars, because he knew that this was the punishment he deserved.
He Lanzhi looked at the scars all over her body, and at Lu Xingchen's back as he turned away, unable to bear it anymore, and thought to herself, what a bad fox she is...
But not long after, Lu Xingchen turned back.
He Lanzhi thought he was going to continue venting his anger on her, so she closed her eyes and lay on the ground obediently.
However, he did not feel more pain, but instead felt a hint of coolness in the wound.
He Lanzhi opened his eyes curiously and found Lu Xingchen applying ointment on his wound.
Seeing him open his eyes, Lu Xingchen handed him the healing potion and said coldly: "Drink this quickly."
After He Lanzhi did as he was told, Lu Xingchen carefully applied ointment to his wound before leaving with peace of mind.
He Lanzhi was somewhat helpless, his heart filled with both joy and sadness.
The joy is that Xingxing still has a place for him in her heart, but the sadness is that as the plan progresses, he will still hurt Xingxing in the future.
Why is Xingxing so good to him? If she treated him more coldly and heartlessly, he wouldn't feel so uneasy.
He Lanzhi shook her head. Xingxing was such a kind-hearted human being. It was he who did the evil. How could he ask Xingxing to change? Xingxing was fine the way it was.
Time continued to pass by minute by minute, He Lanzhi's plan was progressing bit by bit, and the way he and Lu Xingchen got along was roughly fixed.
During these years, Xingxing never fell in love with any other human.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly...but some rumors started to spread in the sect from nowhere, saying that Xingxing was a homosexual.
When He Lanzhi learned about this, she felt extremely complicated.
He knew that it must have been his suitors who spread the rumor intentionally. Didn't he himself know whether Xingxing was a homosexual?
However, just as he was about to investigate and stop it, Helan Yanli reminded him:
"Do you want to ruin your years of planning in one fell swoop? Don't forget that this is not just a matter for you, a fox. It concerns us and your many followers."
"The old master's health is declining, and the heirs are eyeing him covetously. Recently, the spies' surveillance has become increasingly strict. At this time, you should choose to let it go rather than stop it. Don't let them find your weakness."
"Besides, this is a good opportunity to completely sever your connection with him. That way, even if you fail in the future, he won't be implicated."
"But..." He Lanzhi wanted to make some excuses, but was ruthlessly interrupted by her.
"No buts. We need to carefully weigh the pros and cons." Helan Yanli said seriously, "We share a common interest. I won't harm you."
So, He Lanzhi finally chose to let it go, causing the rumors to intensify and Lu Xingchen became even more disappointed in him...
