Chapter 322 He is also an old fox
Xu Chuchu saw that she was resentful, and thought that she was melancholy because she had just seen Xiao Yu pass the trial and then thought of the fox fairy, so she also spoke to comfort her.
"He mentioned you to us, saying that he once took you to the mountains for treatment, but you unfortunately died on the way."
Xu Chuchu paused and added, "He looks very sad when he talks about you."
To be honest, she couldn't quite remember whether the fox fairy felt sad or not.
The mistress lives her life day after day on the top of the mountain, while the fox fairy has a more colorful world.
The mistress was still dissatisfied after hearing this and roared, "Sadness? Mentioning it? That's all?! Doesn't he even know to come pay homage to me one more time? I've been waiting for him for thousands of years, and he hasn't come once! Yet he sent you two brats to get the Cangyun Sword for him?!"
Xiao Yu asked, "Madam, do you know why we need to obtain the Cangyun Sword for the Fox Fairy?"
"Why else? It's because that old bastard wants to get stronger!" the mistress scolded. "He couldn't even bring himself to come here, but tricked you kids into coming here. What an old liar."
To a certain extent, the mistress still knows fox spirits very well.
"Not really." Xiao Yu continued, "In order to protect Fox Mountain, the Fox Immortal's body and soul have merged with Fox Mountain. He has now become a part of Fox Mountain and cannot come out, let alone come to see you."
The mistress was stunned for a moment, and the rage she had just felt instantly vanished. "What you said... is the truth? Merging with the mountain? How long can he live then?"
"Absolutely true." Xu Chuchu said, "Only the Cangyun Sword can split Fox Mountain and release him. This is also the reason why we came here."
Xu Chuchu thought that if this trip went well, he would urge the fox fairy to go up to heaven to pay tribute to the mistress.
"No, it's impossible." The mistress seemed to suddenly react, threw the steel fork aside, and swam in front of Xu Chuchu, "You know, I was a human in my life, not a fox demon like them."
"People?" Xu Chuchu asked back.
It’s not that humans and demons can’t be together, but humans’ lifespan is short, while demons’ lifespan is long, and demons are destined to watch humans die.
Moreover, monsters will maintain their youthful and beautiful appearance forever, while humans will grow old year by year and become haggard and ugly.
This was torture for both of them.
Just like Xia Wanqing and Shen Zhaozhi, in the future Xia Wanqing will grow old, but Shen Zhaozhi will still remain young.
If Xu Chuchu didn't know that Xia Wanqing was smart and determined, he might have tried to persuade her.
"Yes," said the mistress, "I was very beautiful when I was young. The fox fairy loved my appearance, and when we first got together, every day was very happy. But how can a human's age be compared to a demon's? He felt that after a short time, I began to age and become ugly, and became what I am now."
The mistress's appearance can be said to still be charming, but the traces of time are still clearly left.
"Did he tell you that he brought me to Tianshan to cure my illness?" She sneered, "Not at all."
"At that time, I didn't want him to see me grow old, so I wanted to leave him. But he refused, saying that he had heard about a holy spring in Tianshan Mountain that could grant immortality, and he insisted on taking me up there."
"Back then, it wasn't springtime with green grass, but rather a world of ice and snow. The Tianchi Lake was also frozen. I caught a cold while climbing up the mountain, and we were lost for too long. By the time we found the way back, he was half dead, and I was already dead too."
"He thought the Tianchi Lake could cure my illness and grant me eternal life."
"He broke the ice on Tianchi Lake and put me in the water...but nothing happened!"
"My body was swallowed by the Tianchi Lake, and my soul remains here forever!"
"If this is considered eternal life, then I have indeed gained eternal life!"
The mistress swam back and forth in the water gloomily. "Now you understand? He cares so much about my appearance that he's willing to take such a huge risk to preserve my youthful appearance. There's no way he misses me that much."
Xu Chuchu didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that there was no need for the two of them to be so obsessed with material things. If they loved each other, it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend the remaining decades happily together...
"Have you ever considered that the fox fairy doesn't want to keep your appearance, but doesn't want you to leave him because of it?" Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Or perhaps he doesn't want you to die and wants you to stay with him forever."
"Bullshit." The mistress gritted her teeth. "I'd rather believe a pig can climb a tree than believe he doesn't care about my appearance."
"His decision might have been wrong, but his initial intentions were definitely good." Xiao Yu continued, "Think about it. People who covet beauty are inevitably selfish, and selfish people are unlikely to put themselves in danger."
The mistress suddenly pulled out a fork and put the tip of the fork in front of Xiao Yu's eyes: "You...are you telling the truth? You are not trying to trick me!"
"Why would I lie to you? I'm just telling you the truth." Xiao Yu wasn't afraid at all, even though he felt this woman's power was ridiculously deep. "We've dealt with the Fox Fairy several times before. He's someone who's willing to give everything for Fox Mountain. He's not a villain who's only interested in young women."
What's more, he is also an old fox.
Now their identities have been swapped, the fox fairy is getting old, while the mistress remains young.
The mistress said nothing more, turned around and faced away from them.
Xu Chuchu turned her head and took a quick look, and found that she was covering her mouth and her body was trembling slightly.
In fact, they all understand this principle, and anyone else would understand it too. The mistress who knows fox spirits better would definitely understand it.
But she never took this step and always lived in resentment towards the fox fairy.
Perhaps she has been trying to find such an excuse for thousands of years, but no one agrees with her, and she can only waver in resentment day after day.
Now finally someone can comfort her.
"We'll bring him a message when we get back," Xu Chuchu said. "Wait until we split Fox Mountain and release him, and have him come to see you on Tianshan Mountain."
The mistress was silent for a while before she said, "He has a new wife, right?"
Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu's hearts skipped a beat, but they finally told the truth: "We have seen his daughter, but not his wife. I think she has passed away."
"Hmm." The mistress's reaction was very flat. "Animals are all like this. It's their instinct to reproduce. Humph, a bunch of beasts."
Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu: "..."
"Don't mention me to him," the mistress said, turning her back. "He already has a new family. I can't let him know that I'm still obsessed with the past. That would be so embarrassing."
"But……"
"No buts," the mistress said, "Those who are dead are dead forever. Even if he comes, what good will it do? I can never leave this lake. It will only add to my sorrow."
Knowing his current situation would give me some time to think about him in the long years ahead. The mistress sighed.
Xu Chuchu thought that the mistress would be furious when she found out that the fox fairy had another wife, but unexpectedly she became calm instead.
She felt like she didn't quite understand, but also felt like she understood a little.
