“I killed so many people and harmed so many lives. My crimes are heinous, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate me. It wants my soul to be scattered and my soul to never be reincarnated! But since I have done it, I no longer value my own life!”
The woman was covered in bright red blood, as if she were wearing a blood-soaked garment, and her eyes shone with a mad and resolute light.
"The decline of our demon race is becoming increasingly severe. Those cowardly demons have long been eyeing us covetously, and in recent years they have repeatedly harassed our borders. If we allow them to occupy our territory under these circumstances, then all the hard work of the demon race over the past thousands of years will be in vain! Only by awakening Lord Red Fox in advance can we turn the tide—Feng An, I have always been walking a narrow bridge with no way back, and I will not allow any way back! So even if I know that complete annihilation awaits me, I must continue to charge forward... Do you understand?"
The wind whistled through her hair, strands tangling and brushing against her pale, thin face. She looked at him, a fleeting tenderness in her eyes, a hint of reluctance hidden within.
Feng An only knew that since she almost exhausted her cultivation three years ago to light the Thousand-Seeking Lamp, she had never stepped out of the White Fall Cliff. She used to think that the spiritual energy here was abundant and conducive to cultivation, but she never expected that the truth was so tragic.
The punishment of heavenly lightning is the most severe in the world. Apart from the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, no one can resist it. Even at the peak of the Fox Lord's life, he was still far from the Nascent Soul stage. How could he possibly survive the eighty-one heavenly lightning strikes now?
Thinking of this, a bitter expression appeared on his face, and his heart was filled with remorse.
If he hadn't stood by and watched the Fox Lord implant evil thoughts into that man's mind, leading him to set fire to and kill dozens of people in the Immortal Village, if he had been able to dissuade the Fox Lord in time when he ordered the theft of people's souls, he wouldn't have committed such a heinous crime... Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in life, and the way of Heaven never gives people a chance to regret.
A soft sigh dissipated like mist in the wind. The woman approached him, reaching out her right hand to stroke his cheek, revealing his cold skin beneath his delicate makeup.
"Don't be sad for me, this is the path I chose."
She ran her fingertips over the small whorl on the top of his head, and suddenly remembered some past events. Her eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of her lips slowly turned up.
"I still remember the first time I met you. You weren't even good at transforming into human form. You accidentally revealed your true form in the human world and were chased by a Taoist priest. You fled all the way to the bottom of Bai Du Cliff, where you lost all your magic power. The strong winds made it impossible for you to fly. You struggled desperately in the rain, flapping your wings like a pitiful drowned chicken. When I picked you up and took you home, you were so scared that you didn't dare to move. You stood on the table and stared at me, looking so stupid and dull..." She murmured softly, then giggled, her voice as clear as a silver bell.
Feng An also recalled his shameful experience, and a blush rose from the base of his ears. Soon his entire ears turned red. Under the woman's teasing gaze, he pursed his lips and buried his cheeks in her warm and faintly fragrant embrace.
The woman's smile deepened as she remarked, "Time flies so fast. It seems like only yesterday, and my little crow has grown into a powerful demon in its own right. How wonderful..."
The woman's warmth soothed his cold skin, and Feng An slowly relaxed his brows. He looked up at the woman with longing and yearning, then closed his eyes.
"Fox Lord, I will always be your little crow," he whispered in his heart.
Therefore, even if it means death, I will follow the path you have chosen.
