Bai Rou's eyes reddened. "You think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"
That day, she unexpectedly found the red fox lying by the roadside covered in blood, barely breathing, and on the verge of death.
Upon seeing that it was someone of their own kind, Bai Rou immediately ran forward, "Wake up, wake up..."
The little red fox didn't react, so Bai Rou thought he couldn't understand human speech and asked again in fox language.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~~"
The little red fox finally reacted, "Waaah, help!"
Bai Rou exclaimed in surprise, "You've gained sentience!"
In this degenerate age, spiritual energy is scarce, and there are fewer and fewer animals that have developed intelligence.
The Northeast Fox clan has lived in Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain for generations and is revered by the local people as one of the five great immortals, the Fox Immortals.
Only when the fox spirit receives incense offerings can the ancestors of the Northeast fox successfully survive the heavenly tribulation.
This little red fox has actually developed intelligence; in a sense, they are of the same kind.
Bai Rou carried the little fox back, saying, "Auntie, please save the little red fox."
The little red fox was badly injured and remained unconscious for three days and three nights before waking up.
"Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome. What happened to you?"
"Bad guys kidnapped my parents and burned down my house. I finally managed to escape..."
The little red fox cried terribly, and Bai Rou begged her aunt to let him stay. "Aunt, he can talk, and he is a fox like us. Let him stay and recover from his injuries."
After some hesitation, her aunt said, "You can stay here to recover, but you can't wander around. You can only move around in the front of the mountain."
The little red fox quickly promised, "I swear, I will never wander off."
After that, Bai Rou made a new friend. They spent their days catching butterflies, fishing in the water, and stealing chickens and dogs together.
Bai Rou never imagined that the little red fox she rescued was a traitor who had approached her with ulterior motives from the very beginning.
If we hadn't saved that red fox, Aunt Huang and the others wouldn't have died, and the sacred land of the Northeast Fox Clan wouldn't have been destroyed.
Bai Rou was filled with regret. "Bai Rui, you live here, you eat our food and drink our water, how could you repay kindness with enmity!"
Bai Rui lowered his head. "Bai Rou, clan leader, you all think I betrayed the Northeast Fox."
Bai Mei stared coldly at him, "Who else could it be but you? The other fox families live in the Holy Land. What good would it do them to destroy this place?"
"Only you, from the outside world, who exactly are you?"
Bai Rui stopped pretending; there was no point in continuing.
The master's plan has probably failed. Not only did the master not come to rescue him, but he also ordered him to continue lying in wait, which meant that he intended to die.
Master, you are so cruel.
Bai Rui raised his head and looked directly at everyone. "That's right, I was the one who signaled to the werewolves that there were fragments here, and I was the one who destroyed the protective mountain formation in advance."
"I did everything, are you satisfied now?"
Bai Rou trembled with anger, "How can you be so self-righteous? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"
Rui represents auspiciousness.
Bai Rou had praised the name as auspicious before, but instead of good fortune, it brought disaster.
She accused Bai Rui word by word, “Bai Rui, look at the fox corpses on the ground. These are people you see every day. Aunt Huang Huang bandaged your wounds, Teacher Hong Hong taught you how to transform, and Uncle Qiang secretly brought you chicken legs…”
Bai Rui curled her lips into a cold smile, "Why should I feel guilty? I'm a wicked fox to begin with."
"Foxes are cunning by nature, and the Siberian foxes are too stupid to trust a stranger so easily. All of this is your fault."
"Your own stupidity killed your comrade, you deserved it!"
Every word pierced her heart. Bai Rou bit her lower lip tightly. "It's all my fault. I killed my uncles and aunts..."
Lin Xi patted her head, "Don't fall into this wicked fox's trap. He wants you to live in regret forever and ruin your fox life."
"It wasn't you who killed the Siberian fox, it was the werewolf, the witch, and the little red fox!"
Bai Rou murmured, "If only I hadn't saved the little red fox back then, and had just let him fend for himself."
Lin Xi said, "If there is no little red fox, there will be a little green fox, a little white fox. Bad people have countless ways to deceive you and weave the most suitable scam for you."
The little red fox's greatest evil was exploiting other people's kindness to achieve his goals and then blaming everything on his savior. He was rotten to the core.
Bai Mei comforted her, "Don't cry, crying won't help. What's done is done, and all we can do is try our best. The werewolf is dead, that woman was a puppet, and now only the Red Fox remains."
Bai Rou clenched her fists. "I won't let him get away with this!"
Bai Rui shrugged indifferently, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."
The moment he was discovered, he didn't think about running away, since he knew he couldn't escape anyway.
Bai Rou raised her fist, "I'm going to kill you!!"
"Wait a minute," Bai Mei called out, stopping them. "Master, what should we do with this traitor?"
Lin Xi glanced at her and said, "This is a feud between the Siberian fox and the red fox. You can decide for yourselves."
The werewolf died, and the witch never showed herself, only sending a puppet.
The little red fox is just a pawn; whether it lives or dies doesn't make much difference.
Lin Xi then released the souls of all the Northeast foxes to show her stance: "I will not interfere in this matter."
A familiar yet unfamiliar soul stood before her, and Bai Rou couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Yun Yan and Bai Xiuyuan were shocked to see so many Siberian foxes dead.
If they hadn't come, the Northeast Fox clan would probably have been wiped out tonight. Such hatred deserves to be torn to pieces.
The two exchanged a glance, then turned around. They knew they could trust their junior master/big boss's advice, so they decided not to get involved.
Bai Mei jumped out of Lin Xi's arms, "I'm going to kill you to avenge the Northeast Fox!"
"Auntie, let me do it." Bai Rou pressed down on Bai Rui's shoulder, forcing him to kneel down.
Bai Rui struggled, "I won't kneel before that stupid fox!"
Bai Rou held him down tightly, "Even if you die a hundred times or a thousand times, you will still be letting down the Northeast Fox Clan!"
Bai Rui suddenly knelt on the ground; he had never known that Bai Rou was so strong.
Bai Rou stretched out her claws, "I saved your life, it all started with me, so it will end with me!"
Sharp claws struck Bai Rui repeatedly, causing him to scream in pain.
"Ahhh!!"
Lin Xi thoughtfully tossed out a soundproof note to prevent the underage fox from hearing any unpleasant sounds.
Blood stained the ground, the soil turned reddish-brown, the screams gradually faded away, and everything temporarily came to an end.
