Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Yue Tixia hugged Chu Batian tightly from behind, her face gradually turning rosy, and the sadness on her lips was gradually replaced by the joy of regaining what she had lost.

"You really want to marry me... Let me be clear first, I'm already considered a divorcee, and my reputation in the demon realm definitely won't be good, and besides..."

"We roughnecks don't care about those things. All we know is that when we see someone we like, we should boldly express our love. That's what Master Dao taught us."

"Yes, is that so..." Yue Tixia tightened her grip on Chu Batian's waist.

However, the incident involving Hu Weisheng caused her immense psychological damage, making it difficult for her to genuinely believe that anyone or anyone would truly like her.

"If you're trying to comfort me, you could have come up with a better reason..."

"No, it's not about comforting you. Back when you took us fox siblings in when we were young, I already had a lot of respect for you. Later, your selfless teaching and constant care made me feel a lot of affection for you, until I finally realized my feelings..."

"But fate is cruel. Those damned lumberjacks discovered our Qingqiu Fox Clan's whereabouts in the great forest, summoned Taoist priests, and killed my people to steal their furs..."

"You know what happened next."

"I have never forgotten Miss Tsukita, but when I saw you, you already had someone else by your side."

"I'm sorry..." Yue Tixia's eyes were lowered. Only then did she realize how slow she had been to realize that this big, silly fox had liked her for a whole hundred years. She also remembered the elders' warnings from back then.

At that time, in order to completely absorb the Qingqiu clan into the Great Forest, it was planned to marry her to the then-fallen royal son to form a marriage alliance. Of course, that demon was Chu Batian, who possessed the purest Qingqiu clan bloodline and unlimited potential.

Of course, by then the Qingqiu Fox Clan's dynasty had long been destroyed by the human clans. Chu Batian and Chu Ling'er had been wandering since childhood, and they were unaware of their origins.

The elders only discovered it when they were examining the bloodline.

It just so happens that the fallen descendants of the Qingqiu clan are also in the Great Forest. Originally, they wanted to help them, but at that time, Yue Tixia did not know Chu Batian's intentions. She only thought that it was the elders' political considerations, and that they were using her and Chu Batian as political sacrifices.

I remember how I spoke so righteously back then.

The friendship between me and Batian is purer than anything else.

Thinking of Chu Batian's blunt confession to her just now, Yue Tixia felt so ashamed she wanted to die!

She still vividly remembers the helpless, indulgent look in the eyes of the elders when they looked at her, a look of concern for her intellectual disability.

"So you've been eyeing me since we were kids? The elders probably noticed back then too, you big, stupid fox..."

"Yes, really? How come I didn't know that? And am I that obviously..."

Elders: Damn it, you're always following the young lady around, either bringing her food or practicing your skills. It's hard not to see through your little schemes...

"I... I need some time to adjust. After all, I only just found out how you feel..."

"It's alright, Miss Yueti Xia, I will keep waiting, I will keep waiting~"

"You don't need to wait, I just mean I'll agree to it for now..."

"But I'm finding it really hard to be sure of my own feelings anymore, after all..."

Yue Tixia's hand, gripping the hem of Chu Batian's clothes, tightened slightly, and a hint of sorrow was hard to hide in her eyes.

She gave her heart, but someone shattered it and trampled it underfoot.

Her heart, shattered into pieces, needs time to piece itself back together before returning to its original state. And even then, things can never be the same again…

She didn't know how long it would take to repair everything, but she didn't want Chu Batian to keep waiting...

"Let's face those indelible scars together. I believe that we can eventually restore Miss Yue Tixia's true feelings completely. After all, I really want to see Miss Yue Tixia smile."

Yue Tixia froze, staring blankly at Chu Batian who had turned around and was giving her a bright smile. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably...

"Waaaaah..."

She didn't understand why Chu Batian was comforting her like this. The demon who clearly liked her had been waiting for her for a hundred years, yet she had never noticed.

Even though he wasn't responsible for any of this, he still smiled and took the blame for me...

It was I who intended to forget him...

Black Donkey Azhu and the white, red-eyed rabbit following beside him looked at Yue Tixia, who was sobbing as she clung tightly to Chu Batian's back, and smiled at each other.

Perhaps this is how things should be, and perhaps this is the best future for Miss Tsukita.

Watching Chu Batian carry Yue Tixia into a small, luxurious palace, the two demons' guarding mission was considered complete.

Black Donkey Azhu looked at the big white rabbit, bigger than an ox, hopping around beside him, and calmly raised a sign.

"Miss Red-Eyed Rabbit, may I buy you a drink?"

The big white rabbit with red pupils nodded vigorously. Although Tu Shan Ya Ya rode it around all day, it preferred to quietly enjoy life and eat carrots.

"By the way, I don't think the bar has carrot-flavored cocktails."

"Sad!" The big white rabbit puffed out its cheeks with a resentful look, clearly unhappy, as it followed the black donkey Ah Zhu.

"However, I brought some carrot-flavored juice. Would you like to try some, miss?"

"Joy!!!" The big white rabbit, bigger than a cow, pounced on the black donkey Ah Zhu and licked him twice with its big tongue, looking very happy.

Black Donkey Azhu chuckled and rubbed the red-eyed rabbit's fluffy head with his donkey hoof. He then picked up a bag of carrot juice, opened a glass, and stuffed it into the white rabbit's mouth. The white rabbit happily drank the juice, and the two demons headed towards the inner city of Tushan.

…………

The reincarnation of Hu Weisheng, who looked utterly hopeless, was thrown out of the Tushan territory.

"How dare you, you piece of trash, make things so difficult for Miss Yue Tixia, whom Commander Chu admires? You're fucking tired of living!"

As Hu Er spoke, he stepped forward and was about to remove the head of Hu Weisheng's reincarnation, who was now paralyzed on the ground and had become mentally impaired.

Tiger Big quickly grabbed Tiger Two's arm and tried to stop him.

"Forget it, he's already been subjected to slow slicing four or five times. He's already a cripple. Besides, the Daoist Master has given an order not to kill him. Killing him like this is too easy on him."

"Hmph! Good riddance to them, they're just scum! If it weren't for that Taoist priest, he would have torn them to pieces today and left their bodies to feed the wild dogs in the wilderness!"

The monsters within the Tiger Might Army are no pushovers. Towards ordinary people, they are the most loyal supporters, but towards these social scum, they are the strictest fathers, deadly demons.

We always use all sorts of tricks to deal with those who infringe on our rights, disrupt peace, and are such greedy social scum, because they are not among the citizens defined by the Taoist priest.

"Pah! You trash, just enjoy your miserable second half of life. It's because I've fed these bastards too much; they should all be sent to mine coal in those black kilns!"

Tiger Big and Tiger Two left, cursing and swearing.

"Cough cough, you bastards! You'll regret it if you don't kill me!" Hu Weisheng II cursed as he tried to get up!

He was subjected to slow slicing four times, with the treatment happening simultaneously as he was being cut, and chili water was sprinkled on him throughout the process. It was incredibly agonizing.

However, he persevered and pulled through.

"Heh heh, I, Niu Erdan, swear I won't rest until I avenge this!"

"And that Taoist priest from Tushan, I fucking..."

But before he could finish his sentence, the world spun around him, and his head fell to the ground. After spinning twice, he finally saw his own body lying on the ground, being burned.

"You idiot, you think you'll have a tomorrow?! Going against my brother Chu, if it weren't for Dao Ye, I would have chopped you up already!"

With a wave of divine fire, the Golden Scale Spirit, adorned with golden rings and bronze skin, instantly burned the corpse of Niu Erdan, the reincarnation of Hu Weisheng, who died with his eyes wide open, to ashes, and then placed his soul into a sky lantern.

Soon after, a heart-wrenching scream rang out.

"Pah, trash!" The silver-white nine-ringed sword in Jin Linling's hand disappeared, and she formed a hand seal to put away the divine fire on the ground.

Of course, he can control the divine fire because he has his master's fire-borrowing spell.

"Oh dear, I've done Chu Batian such a big favor, I wonder how many meals I should ask him to treat me to~"

Jin Linling revealed her little tiger teeth, put her hands behind her head, and happily returned to Tushan to report back.
