"The Yi family was a wealthy family at that time, and Yi Changsheng was their only son."
"Given Yi Changsheng's condition, they were naturally willing to spend a lot of money to hire famous doctors, but the treatment was ineffective."
"Later, a highly accomplished monk passed by and asked for a cup of water. When he saw black energy gathering above the Yi family's house, he asked a question, and the monk said he would take a look."
"Upon looking inside, I was shocked to find that Yi Changsheng's room was filled with wandering ghosts and spirits, as well as a big fox like me."
"The high monk was very kind. He first drove away the wandering ghosts in the house for Yi Changsheng, and then chased me away."
“At that time, my cultivation had been damaged, and I was no match for that high monk, so I ran away.”
The fox demon recalled the events of that time, speaking each word carefully.
"The high monk asked the Yi family for Yi Changsheng's birth date and time. He calculated with his fingers and found that he was destined to die young and had a weak body. If left unattended, he might be possessed by a wandering ghost one day, and from then on, he would no longer be himself."
"Upon hearing this, the Yi family panicked and hurriedly ordered the steward to fetch several ingots of gold from the storeroom and hand them to the high monk, asking for a solution."
"The high monk refused, saying that by getting a bowl of water, he had already formed a good karmic connection with the Yi family. He said that the temple was prosperous and had merit and the Buddha's light, so evil spirits dared not set foot there. If the Yi family wanted Yi Changsheng to be safe in the future, there was only one way to go, which was to take Yi Changsheng away and let him cultivate Taoism and learn skills."
"The high monk said that he is born under the influence of the Yin spirits and can see unclean things, which makes him a good candidate for cultivation. If he is willing, he can exorcise evil spirits and accumulate merit in the future, and perhaps he will be able to obtain a good opportunity."
"Upon hearing this, the Yi family immediately agreed on behalf of Yi Changsheng, prepared a carriage, and had the high monk take Yi Changsheng away."
The fox demon's voice weakened slightly.
"After that, Yi Changsheng began to cultivate with the high monk, while I couldn't swallow my anger, so I stayed near the temple while healing and cultivating."
"I waited and waited, from spring and summer to autumn and winter, and then from autumn and winter back to spring and summer."
"Day after day, year after year, finally when Yi Changsheng was twelve years old, he came down the mountain to beg for alms."
“Even though he’s grown a lot taller than before, and even though he’s tanned dark, I still recognized him the moment I saw him.”
"The sight of him reminds me of my lost cultivation and how I narrowly missed the chance to become an immortal!"
“I rushed at him and wanted to kill him, but… I was injured by the tree demon at that time, and when I rushed to Yi Changsheng, I had already turned back into my original form and was so weak that I was barely alive.”
The fox demon continued, a tear of blood streaming down her cheek.
Jiang Yuan remained silent, seemingly listening attentively.
However, she could guess some of what would happen next, because...
The fox demon has two lines on her wrist.
A thread that binds us together.
A thread of fate.
But the other end of that line broke.
Both lines are broken.
It was cut off by someone.
“Since you can see the two lines on my hand, you should be able to guess something,” the fox demon said when she saw Jiang Yuan’s gaze fall on her arm.
"That's right, Yi Changsheng saved me, healed my wounds, and even found me a place to stay. But he didn't recognize me as the fox who lost her cultivation several years ago because of a single sentence from him."
"I was both made and destroyed by Yi Changsheng. He damaged my cultivation, but he also saved me."
"After that, he would come down the mountain to see me from time to time. At that time, my hatred for him gradually disappeared. In the end, the hatred disappeared, but feelings of affection arose."
“I have never heard of a human and a demon forming a bond, but I want to form a bond with him, so I went to ask Granny Fox.”
"Grandma Fox told me that a forced relationship will only end in one way: misery. If both parties like each other, the relationship will naturally form. Why force it?"
"Grandma Fox's words were a revelation to me. In the end, I didn't choose to force it, but instead chose another path: to make Yi Changsheng fall in love with me."
"I am a fox spirit, and what I have in abundance is captivating beauty. I transformed into an extremely beautiful woman to get close to Yi Changsheng."
"Although Yi Changsheng cultivates the Dao, his magical power is still shallow and has not yet reached the required level. Therefore, he cannot distinguish that my appearance is an illusion and that my true form is a fox."
“I used the alias Anu and became friends with Yi Changsheng. Every day I would squat at the foot of the mountain and wait for Yi Changsheng to come down.”
"Those days were the happiest days between him and me, and they are also the most beautiful memories among my many recollections."
Even after two hundred years, it remembers everything that happened back then perfectly.
Even if I want to forget, I can't.
It's like a brand etched into my heart.
I tried everything to erase this memory, but I couldn't.
It will never forget the kindness Yi Changsheng showed it.
Ke Yi Changsheng's scheming and exploitation of it are equally unforgettable.
"However, this wonderful time only lasted for a year. After a year, thirteen-year-old Yi Changsheng returned home."
"In that year, he learned a lot of skills, and his appearance became more and more handsome. His eyes were no longer as clear as before, but more composed. His brows were always furrowed, and I didn't know what made him so sad. I went with him to the Yi family and became his maid."
The fox demon continued, and the further it spoke, the less it could control its emotions.
"In the following years, just as the rumors and songs outside said, Yi Changsheng completed his studies and returned to slay all the demons and monsters, punish the wicked and eliminate evil. Even the local people raised money to build a statue for him, gilded it, and worshipped him as an immortal."
"Because of Yi Changsheng's presence, demons and monsters could not get close to the town. Over the years, the town has been peaceful. I have always accompanied him on his journeys to slay demons and monsters. If Yi Changsheng was unable to defeat them, I would secretly help him and gradually make him famous."
"Eighteen-year-old Yi Changsheng has gained the admiration of many people and accumulated a lot of merit. I am happy for him."
“I went through thick and thin with him, and along the way, a bond was formed between us.”
“When I saw the marriage line, I was very happy. I was happy that my efforts had paid off and that I had finally earned a place in Yi Changsheng’s heart.”
"It was a night when we stopped at a dilapidated temple on our way to slay a demon. I had physical contact with him. At that time, I thought I had succeeded and that humans and demons could live together."
"After that night, Yi Changsheng swore that he would definitely marry me, and I believed him."
"But three months later, the Yi family directly presented the betrothal gifts to the Zhu family..."
The fox demon paused, tears of blood streaming down her face.
“I went to find Yi Changsheng and questioned him about why, whether he was forced by those old fogies in the Yi family?”
"Guess what Yi Changsheng said?"
The fox demon looked at Jiang Yuan and asked.
Before Jiang Yuan could answer, the fox demon answered on his own.
He said, "I am human, and you are a demon. It's impossible."
"Hahaha, hahaha, he said I'm a demon, he knew I was a demon from the very beginning..."
