When the fox demon heard these intimidating words, her soul couldn't stop trembling. She tried hard to shrink into Gong Meilin's body and thought about how to escape.
Seeing that she was not cooperating, Su Yan drew a talisman in the air and forcibly pulled her out of his body.
The fox demon looked at her exposed tail and sat on the ground in a daze. Is the world developing too fast? How come she has no ability to resist at all?
But she has always been able to bend and stretch: "Master, I know I was wrong, I will get out now."
"You've ruined someone else's body like this, do you think I'll let you go so easily?"
The fox demon said confidently, "She was the one who asked me for help first. I told her it was dangerous beforehand, and she agreed. We even signed a contract."
"Didn't you find her first, disrupt her thoughts, and then take advantage of her opportunity to make her sign an unequal treaty?"
The fox demon's momentum weakened a bit: "Even if that's the case, she agreed to it. What I do is a one-time deal, there is no reason to return the goods."
"You know quite a lot."
"It can't be helped. If you stay in the human world for a long time, you'll always pick up some useful things."
She looked at Gong Meilin and said, "My beautiful lady, please tell the master across the street that you are fully aware of our transaction, or she will beat me to death."
Gong Meilin nodded: "Master, it was indeed me who took the initiative to find her for the deal."
"Then I'm curious, how did you establish contact with this elusive fox demon?"
"After my breakup, I fell into a cycle of self-doubt. I knew my emotions would burden others, so after get off work, I would walk around the park a few times to calm down before going home.
That day I met a happy young couple. I don’t know if it was because I was moved by them, but I had an emotional breakdown in public for the first time and cried uncontrollably.
In order to avoid being laughed at, I secretly hid in a small corner of the park. Just when I was crying so hard that I couldn’t breathe, a scented tissue was stretched out in front of me.
"Little girl, why are you crying here alone? Tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help you solve it."
"Looking at her sincere eyes, I couldn't help but tell her everything about my past."
After listening to my story, she placed a fox statue in my hand and said, “I used to be an ordinary girl, but it was because I believed in this fox fairy that I became this beautiful woman.
When you go back, learn to worship her as you would worship God, and drop two drops of blood on her regularly every week. After a year, your appearance will be fixed and will never change.
When the time comes, I will come to you to retrieve the statue."
Gong Meilin's heart was moved. She used her last remaining sanity to ask the question in her heart: "Why do you want to help me? What price do I need to pay?"
"When I see you, I think of the days I'll be ignored in the future. As a fellow poor person, I naturally want to help you. You can afford the price. Look, I'm living a good life now."
"Little sister, I see that you are very knowledgeable, but you just lack a stepping stone. With the help of the fox fairy, you will be invincible in both love and career in the future."
Su Yan looked at the innocent and somewhat silly girl: "She didn't even tell you the specific price to pay. How can you call it knowing everything?"
The fox demon muttered quietly: "Anyway, I said it, how she interprets it is her business."
"Then why did you use the method of bewitching her to make her follow your consciousness?"
"Of course I have this skill, so I have to use it. Others' admiration for me can speed up my training."
"Master, please let me go. After I complete this deal, I will become an immortal. By then, you will have connections in the animal world. She is just a mortal. How can she bring you as much benefit as I can?"
Seeing that Su Yan didn't say anything, the fox demon raised the stakes again: "If you are still not satisfied, I can exchange the shocking blood I got from this little girl for it. That should be fine, right?
I just don’t know if this beautiful girl who has enjoyed such good treatment is willing to give up her face.
Master, to be honest, I have met employers who would rather give me everything than let me maintain my beauty."
Gong Meilin squatted on the ground, her past experiences flashing before her eyes. Finally, she made up her mind: "I want to go back to the way I was before."
The fox demon was shocked by her answer: "Little beauty, are you serious? If you change back, all the privileges you have now will become nothing."
"I'm sure I've thought a lot about this, and at first I did enjoy being looked at with admiration and the feeling of being cared for.
But gradually, I began to feel uncomfortable. In order to maintain this image, I had to spend a lot of time every day learning how to become a person who could attract others.
During this process, I became very concerned about gains and losses, and I would remember a word that others said casually for a long time.
Not only that, I began to enjoy the pleasure of getting something for nothing. Last week, I took a translation order as usual. Things that I used to do easily now find it very difficult for me to do.
I don’t dare to think about what I will eventually become if I continue to live with this appearance and in a lax environment.
I'm not sure if I will regret my decision today in the future. I only know that I am not as happy as before.
Just treat me as someone who has no ambitions and is content to live in my own little world."
This was the first time the fox demon had met a girl who was unaware of the serious consequences and was willing to give up. "Alright, it's my bad luck. This deal is for nothing. For Master's sake, I'll return the essence and blood that I didn't absorb to you."
She put the tail in the girl's hand, and as the red light appeared, Gong Meilin turned back to her original appearance.
Xu Sangyu looked at her happily: "This is the Linlin I know."
Gong Meilin looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Yes, this is the real me."
After resolving the trouble he had caused, the fox demon looked at Su Yan ingratiatingly: "Master, can I leave now?"
"Yes, but you must remember this piece of advice: if you have the opportunity to practice again, you must be down-to-earth."
Fearing that Su Yan would go back on her word, the fox demon disappeared from the spot after getting permission without even taking her own statue.
Xu Sangyu was a little dissatisfied: "Master, if you let her go like this, what if she goes out and harms others again?"
"She has done so many wrong things, and someone has already punished her. Tonight she will suffer a thunder tribulation. For a fox demon who has cultivated for less than a hundred years and whose foundation is not stable, the best outcome is to become an ordinary animal.
Gong Meilin, although the fox demon has returned some of your blood essence to you, you still have to pay a price. This price will not endanger your life, but it will bring trouble to your life.
Gong Meilin held back her friend who wanted to speak for her: "Master, I understand. This is what I deserve."
At this time, in a mountain forest, the originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds.
