If a demon has committed evil deeds, and a human helps it transform into human form, the human will bear part of the karma. If the demon continues to do evil in the future, Heaven will settle accounts with the human as well.
Therefore, if a demon wants to take human form, it's best to do more good deeds. However, some evil demons have ruined the reputation of demons in the human world. In addition, the saying "those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts" makes it even more difficult for a demon in its original form to do good deeds and gain human recognition.

"Hey, hey, don't run away, scholar! I'm not going to eat you, just answer me!"
The rustling sounds from the nearby bushes grew louder, and Xu Liang walked even faster.
He could already see the light coming from his window; it was the light Xu Jinshi had left on for him. But he stopped in his tracks, vaguely sensing that something was following him. He immediately headed toward the village shaman's house.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of them, and a yellow-furred fox stood upright in the middle of the road. Its tone was not so scary anymore, but it was clearly angry: "You scholar, I just want to ask for a word. I'm not going to eat you. Why are you running away?"
