"On the day Yi Changsheng and Miss Zhu got married, I told Miss Zhu to leave this town and go as far away as possible. Then I put on my wedding dress, took Miss Zhu's place, and married him in the Yi family in front of everyone."
"That night, Yi Changsheng was happy and drank a few more cups. After entering the bridal chamber, he looked at me wearing a red veil and said many intimate and ambiguous things. Those words... he had said to me before, and he said them to me again without changing them. It's just a pity that he didn't know that I was the one under the red veil."
"Listening to what he said, I felt disgusted, so disgusted that I wanted to kill him, but... I knew that I was no match for him at that time, so I had to endure it until I finished drinking the nuptial wine with him."
"Besides having a beautiful face that can bewitch people, foxes can also imitate and transform into other people's appearances. You should know this, sir. That night, I transformed into Miss Zhu's appearance to marry into the Yi family. But I wasn't sure, after all... Yi Changsheng was quite skilled at that time, and he was very likely to recognize me."
"Perhaps it was because he was happy on our wedding night that he let his guard down, and perhaps it was because he had been drinking. After lifting the veil, he didn't notice anything unusual about me. We drank the nuptial wine together, and only after that did he realize something was wrong."
"He immediately drew his sword and offered a talisman, intending to kill me in one blow. But he didn't know that my heart's blood had been mixed into that cup of wine, and that a new marriage line had grown next to the original marriage line. Although the marriage line was shallow, its effect was extremely great."
"He was enraged and swung his sword at me. His sword was full of killing intent and he severed my arm, even cutting off the two threads along with it."
"At the moment the connection was severed, much of his merit dissipated, and he himself suffered a backlash."
The fox spirit spoke of this with a hint of pleasure in her voice.
That was the most satisfying moment for it, especially when Yi Changsheng dropped his disguise and looked at it with hateful eyes.
"The commotion was so great that the guests in the front hall all came over here. In front of everyone, I exposed Yi Changsheng's evil deeds, including how he plotted against me and how we had been intimate. But... they didn't believe me like Miss Zhu did. They thought I was slandering them and defaming the immortal they had created."
"When Yi Changsheng saw this, he turned around and accused me of being a great demon who came today to kill them and incite them to rebel."
"Then, they rushed at me like madmen, wielding sticks or other weapons."
“I couldn’t just sit and wait to die, so… I fought back and killed people.”
“They fell to the ground one by one, two by two… I was covered in the blood of many people. In the end, I went berserk and killed all the Yi family members and the guests who came to congratulate me. My magical power increased greatly, but my Dao heart was destroyed as a result, and I became a demon from then on.”
"I know that Yi Changsheng did this to get revenge on me, so he deliberately made me kill and cut off my path to immortality."
"But he saw so many people die in front of him, and not only did he not stop them, he watched them fall in front of him with a detached expression. Such a person... was worshipped as a god by everyone, and people even added incense to his offerings."
A sinister glint flashed in the fox demon's silver-gray eyes as she spoke sharply, her hatred for Yi Changsheng running deep in her bones.
It also found it laughable that those people were shouting for Yi Changsheng to leave quickly before they fell.
Although Yi Changsheng was suffering from the backlash at that time, he could have saved them if he wanted to.
But he remained indifferent, watching from the sidelines.
"Only then did I realize that this was Yi Changsheng's true nature: cold-hearted, ruthless, and selfish."
The fox demon chuckled softly.
Like those people, it never truly understood Yi Changsheng.
"I fought with Yi Changsheng, and we were both seriously injured. I fled again and hid in the deep mountains to cultivate and recuperate."
"Yi Changsheng spread rumors that I had killed the entire Yi family and their guests, saying that he was irreconcilably opposed to demons. His impassioned words made the people of the town believe in him even more and admire and love him even more."
"A year later, after I recovered from my injuries, I returned to the town. By then, Yi Changsheng had changed from Daoist Yi to Elder Yi."
"The Yi family mansion was expanded to be several times larger than before. Even the outer gate was gilded and inlaid with pearls, making it look magnificent. The number of gatekeepers also increased from two to six. It can be seen how extravagant Yi Changsheng lived that year."
"I wonder if it's fate that I met Miss Zhu again on the street."
"Besides those who are dead and Yi Changsheng, only Miss Zhu has seen my true face."
“Miss Zhu recognized me at a glance, but I didn’t recognize her. I just felt that she was somewhat familiar. It wasn’t until she bumped into me and tore my skirt that we made eye contact. When I saw her eyes, I recognized who she was.”
"Only a year has passed, and she has gone from a young girl to an old woman. She is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is as thin as a rake, her face is wrinkled, and her hair has turned from black to silver. Only her eyes... are still the same as before."
"She had a maidservant with her, but it would be more accurate to say she was there to monitor her."
“I deliberately made things difficult for her, saying that she had ruined my clothes and demanding three hundred taels in compensation. The maid next to me couldn’t persuade me, and seeing that a crowd was watching, she took me to the Yi family’s money shop.”
“Miss Zhu and I were waiting outside the money exchange when the maid went inside. Miss Zhu seized the opportunity to tell me that she had killed my two children.”
The fox demon spoke.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Most people wouldn't let someone else kill their child.
"Miss Zhu's words puzzled me. Why would she kill her own child? It wasn't until the maid who came out of the bank after withdrawing the money called Miss Zhu 'Madam Yi' that I understood the reason."
