"The seal was created by Yi Changsheng using the lives of Miss Zhu and all the servants of the Yi family. My inner core was destroyed, and even if I cultivate for two hundred years, I will not be as powerful as I was before. To break the seal, I can only increase my magical power by killing people..."
"If I kill two more people, I will be able to break this seal, which is why I attacked them."
"As for that stinky Taoist priest, I heard everything he said when he entered the house. He praised Yi Changsheng and even idolized him!"
"He deserves to die!"
The fox demon's voice became hoarse, and carried a hint of anger.
Despite being a beast like Yi Changsheng, he ultimately earned a place in history and was praised by the world.
He doesn't deserve it!
The more the fox demon thought about it, the more unwilling she became.
"Do you still want to become an immortal?" The calm voice rang out, and Jiang Yuan walked up to the fox demon and squatted down.
She raised her slender hand and gently touched the fox demon's brow.
The fox demon immediately felt relieved, her body became light, and even the resentment she had been emitting dissipated, leaving her heart as calm as a lake.
His silver-gray eyes fell on Jiang Yuan, revealing a hint of disappointment.
"My Dao heart and inner core are destroyed, and I've also taken many lives. In this life... I'd be lucky if I didn't end up in the eighteenth level of hell after I die."
"To become an immortal is a delusion."
The fox demon spoke, her voice weaker than before.
Moreover, it has now severed its own nine tails, causing the entire industry to suffer heavy losses.
It is now weaker than a newly formed demon.
Even a passing wild boar demon could easily kill it by pouncing on it.
After its Dao heart was destroyed, it dared not even dream of becoming an immortal. How could it dare to dream of it now?
It only hoped that it wouldn't go to the eighteenth level of hell after it died, a place even Granny Fox feared, so how could it not be afraid?
Despite killing so many people, it almost made their deaths very quick.
The eighteen levels of hell are different; they won't destroy your soul and spirit, but will torture your soul little by little.
It was afraid.
"The inner elixir can be cultivated again. As for the Dao heart, as long as you make amends and pay off your debts to them, you can also start cultivating again."
"I'll ask you only one question: if there were a chance to become an immortal, would you want it?"
Those deep eyes stared intently at the fox demon before them, asking a question.
"If it really exists, I will take it no matter the cost," the fox demon said with unwavering determination in her eyes.
"What if you were asked to temporarily set aside your hatred for the Yi family?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"This..." The fox demon's expression shifted, and he hesitated.
How can a blood feud be let go so easily?
It is what it is because of Yi Changsheng, and what has sustained it for the past two hundred years is the hatred for Yi Changsheng and the Yi family.
“Little fox demon, you have killed enough members of the Yi family and innocent people in the past two hundred years. Your sins are too heavy. If you kill again, not only me, but even the gods cannot save you.”
"What Yi Changsheng did is hateful, but don't ruin yourself because of him."
"Besides, I said to put it aside for now, not that you have to put it aside forever."
Jiang Yuan reached out and gently stroked the fox demon's head.
"Does Your Excellency mean..." the fox demon asked, grasping at the key words.
"Become a messenger of the underworld to atone for your sins. When you have paid off your debts, I will guide you and help you rebuild your Daoist heart."
"As for the Yi family... everything in the world, even flowers, grass, and trees, has a moment of withering, let alone people?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and offered a reminder.
Some things are better left unsaid.
The fox demon's expression shifted, understanding Jiang Yuan's meaning.
Put aside your hatred for the Yi family for now, become a ghost messenger, and make amends for your past mistakes. When the Yi family dies, won't you fall into their territory?
How it treats the Yi family at that time will depend entirely on its mood!
"I, I do."
"Please, Your Excellency, give me a chance. I am willing to atone for the sins I have committed."
The fox demon exclaimed excitedly.
It could endure two hundred long and lonely years, so how could it endure such a short time?
As long as it can endure, the Yi family will eventually be wiped out!
For example, being suddenly hit by a car and dying on the road, or choking to death while eating, and then...
Wouldn't it fall into its hands?
In an instant, the fox demon no longer harbored such hatred towards Yi Changsheng's descendants.
How should I put it?
Unless the other party survives, one of them will eventually fall into its hands.
Why is it in such a hurry?
Just wait!
"As you wish."
Jiang Yuan's eyebrows curved, and her thin lips parted slightly.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by.
The fox demon's fur was gently blown to one side.
It was no longer as cold as before, but as warm as a spring breeze in March.
"In the name of Yama, you are appointed as a messenger of the underworld, to guard the road to the Yellow Springs and guide souls across the river. You shall not leave your post without permission, nor shall you violate the rules of the underworld."
"Those who serve in the underworld cannot be nameless, therefore I bestow upon you..."
"Guard your heart."
Jiang Yuan looked at the fox demon, waved her hand, and the judge's pen, which was not yet fully grown, appeared in her hand.
Jiang Yuan wrote the words "Guard Your Heart" on the fox demon's claws.
The pen strokes are sharp, and the handwriting is beautiful.
The fox demon felt a power invading its body, and in an instant, its nine broken tails grew back, and its true form transformed into a human.
A charming young woman appeared before Jiang Yuan, and with a raised eyebrow, she seemed to be bewitching him.
"Thank you so much, my lord," the fox demon said gratefully, tears streaming down her face like pearls from a broken string.
This time, tears welled up.
It was grateful to her.
I'm grateful that she appeared before me and gave it a chance.
"Before your Dao heart is destroyed, do not do evil, do not be jealous of others, and send the pheasants, wild boars or other livestock that you have caught to the old people in the village down the mountain so that they will no longer go hungry and can get through the cold winter."
