A fox demon was a mythical creature that was written in many historical records. One record said that Emperor Hui met a fox spirit that possessed an extreme beauty that could make any person fall for them with one glance. The emperor was quickly enchanted by the beauty of the fox spirit and decided to keep it in his palace to become his woman, conferring it the title Gui Fei, the noblest and highest ranked consort of the emperor and who was only second to the empress.

Some historians wondered if the empress position was not currently occupied at that time, the emperor would absolutely go against all laws and rules established for thousands of years just to put it next to his throne as his empress.

Another record said that a hunter was hunting in the forest when he encountered a fox spirit while it was taking a bath under the waterfalls. Just like the emperor's fox spirit, it was extremely beautiful. And as an ordinary man who only knows how to hunt, the hunter undoubtedly fell for the fox spirit before he could see its face.

But unlike the emperor's story, the hunter's love story was what women in their boudoir was reading and looking to have in their future marriage.

It was said that the hunter and the fox spirit fell in love. Because the fox spirit was not a human like all the villagers in the hunter's place, the hunter told the fox spirit to hide its true nature and form. Thus, they could live a peaceful life like normal human beings and even had a child.

However, their peace and love was put into trial and tribulation. As if the act of falling in love and having a child with the blood of a fox and a human was taboo, the heavens started to target the two lovers, putting their love into a test.

At first, they could tolerate the trials and even get through it. However, one day, the fox spirit's true form was seen by someone in the village, and dragged it to the village head's house to kill it.

The hunter turned livid when he came home after hunting in the mountain and saw his wife being humiliated and tortured. Even his child was not spared by the villagers. Once a glass was broken, nothing could bring it back to its previous and original form.

The hunter attacked the village, taking them by surprise and he killed some of them on his way to disaster. However, he was only a one-man army against fifty villagers, what could he possibly do?

In the end, the hunter joined the fox spirit and his child to die. In the last spurt of life of the fox spirit, it saw its child and husband being tortured and finally turned into a fox demon; it cursed the village before dying.

It was a horror story. But no one could deny that it was true love even after death.

Lin Xiaofei recollected the time she spent reading these stories. There are countless stories and records of it, but at that time, she thought it was just a man's imagination of perfect true love and an illusion made to deceive the people.

However, she could no longer tell herself a lie when the whole truth was now standing in front of her. He was also her husband...

"What are you thinking?" asked Qu Xing Xu.

After revealing his true form to her, Qu Xing Xu sat on a chair and pulled Lin Xiaofei to let her sit on his lap while Lin Xiaofei tried to consume everything that had happened. However, even after a while had passed, she still didn't say anything and that made him worried, urging him to ask her what she was thinking.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Pulled out of her reverie, Lin Xiaofei found herself sitting on top of his lap. She didn't remember when she had moved and sat on top of him.

"I was thinking about the hunter's story." Lin Xiaofei didn't keep anything hidden from him. "The fox spirit, because of its fate and what happened to its life, turned into a fox demon... Are you the same as that fox spirit?"

Qu Xing Xu was stunned for a moment. Initially, he didn't understand what she meant, but then, he recalled that he also read the hunter's cruel love story. Since it happened a very long time ago, Qu Xing Xu was unclear if the hunter's story was real or not.

However, a fox spirit turning into a fox demon was indeed not a lie.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "I am the same, but also not," he replied to her question.

Hearing his answer, Lin Xiaofei tilted her head in confusion when she heard him speak once again. "There are indeed some cases where a fox spirit turned into a fox demon. However, it wasn't through their power alone. Every fox spirit has cultivated a lifetime worth of magic inside them. But turning into a fox demon with power alone isn't enough. They needed a thousand lives to kill and souls to eat in order for them to turn into a fox demon."

He added, "The hunter's fox spirit only used its remaining life and magic to curse the village."

"Then, it was never a fox demon in the first place? It was just a fox spirit until the very end?"

Qu Xing Xu nodded when he heard her ask. It was good that Lin Xiaofei was not too confused about his explanation and immediately understood it without any problem. Thankfully, she rebirthed and lived two lives, or else, she would have taken a very long time to absorb all the information he handed to her.

Although it wasn't a problem to him if she took longer to absorb everything, there was also a possibility that after consuming the information he gave to her, she might never accept him and look him straight in the eyes ever again.

Stroking her back as he let her straddle him, Qu Xing Xu thanked the gods for letting her get to him first and giving her to him as his other half.
