Chapter 78

"Ah wuwuwuwu..." The little fox lay on her back on Mei Xue's bed, her four paws in the air, as Mei Xue carefully applied ointment to treat her burns.

This scene reminded them of the time they first met, when Mei Xue was just as gentle and meticulous, applying the cool ointment to every corner of her body, even the most private parts.

The process was painful yet enjoyable—except for the hateful monster girl standing next to Mei Xue!

"Xiao Liu, how did you find Xiao Jiu?" Mei Xue, who had come to Xiao Liu's room in the morning to wake her up but encountered a terrifying incident, was puzzled.

Xiao Jiu was supposed to have been taken back by the Black Fox Elder. How could she suddenly return and even attempt a spectacular self-destruction upon seeing him? If he hadn't quickly summoned a stone slab to shield himself, he would have been covered in soot and ashes.

"Last night, I caught her outside." Xiao Liu briefly explained the events between her and the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox princess, but her explanation was so brief that Mei Xue imagined a sneaky little fox being caught in the courtyard.

After all, Xiao Liu, a talented girl from a celestial background, would naturally find it easy to catch a little demon fox.

"Xiao Jiu, you really are restless." Although Mei Xue didn't know how Xiao Jiu had escaped from the Black Fox Elder, he knew it wasn't an easy feat.

"Ah wu." The little fox looked at Mei Xue, who was gently stroking her, with tearful eyes. It wasn't just difficult; it almost cost her her life!

Just before the self-destruction, she saw Mei Xue's face and realized she had made a mistake. She quickly tried to stop the forbidden technique.

But a technique meant for mutual destruction isn't easily halted. As a result, she nearly killed herself, while the blood-colored monster remained unharmed, not even a hair on her body was singed.

What a loss, a huge loss! If she had known it was Mei Xue, she wouldn't have used that forbidden technique. It was meant for the shameless and despicable monster girl who had stolen her love.

But in the end, the target monster was unscathed, and Mei Xue almost got hurt. This was a huge blunder.

It's all your fault, all your fault! Why didn't you die? The blood-colored monster, the little fox bared her teeth at Xiao Liu, almost reaching out to scratch her.

"Who is she to you?" Watching Mei Xue skillfully apply the ointment to the little fox, Xiao Liu could tell it wasn't the first time.

"Her? She's a little one I treated before, a little demon fox from the side of the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess of Qingqiu." Mei Xue looked at the injured little fox with a warm gaze, so focused that Xiao Liu was momentarily captivated.

Without any explanation, Xiao Liu knew that this little fox was "special" to Mei Xue. It was the first time since their reunion that she saw such a warm look in Mei Xue's eyes, just like in the past.

He hasn't changed, Mei Xue hasn't changed. He is still the kind and caring Mei Xue from back then.

Just knowing this filled Xiao Liu with a sweet feeling, and the slight annoyance from the little fox's provocation last night vanished completely.

If being provoked once meant seeing Mei Xue smile, she wouldn't mind being provoked a few more times. After all, even ten more of these two-tailed golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed foxes wouldn't be a match for her.

If it were Xiao Xiang, even a thousand or ten thousand would be swept into the endless sea of blood and devoured. The little fox should be grateful that Xiao Xiang isn't here.

However, something seemed off. Xiao Liu looked at the unfriendly little fox and then at Mei Xue, who was carefully applying ointment to the little fox, noticing many things she had overlooked.

The little fox's eyes were simple and easy to understand: they were smug, boastful, and challenging. If eyes could speak, they would say, "Mei Xue is always mine" and "Why don't you just die already?"

As for Mei Xue, his gaze was gentle, soft, and indulgent.

That's it, exactly! It wasn't "love" or "romance" but "indulgence" and "tolerance." It wasn't the look between lovers but more like the look Xiao Liu had seen between grandfathers and granddaughters, fathers and daughters in the human world.

It definitely wasn't love! This much Xiao Liu was sure of.

But, the golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox claimed that Mei Xue had confessed to her. It didn't seem like a lie. What exactly happened? Xiao Liu was full of doubts.

"Xiao Jiu, don't sneak out again. It's dangerous for you to come out alone when you can't transform into a human. I'll definitely come to the Black Fox Elder to get you after some time." Mei Xue, unaware of Xiao Liu's confusion, saw their relationship as very simple.

A young demon fox and her guardian—that was his relationship with Xiao Jiu. In his eyes, Xiao Jiu was just a mischievous and lively little fox, nothing more.

"Ah!" From Mei Xue's words, Xiao Liu finally glimpsed the truth about the little fox.

"Snap!" The little fox also realized that her biggest secret had been inadvertently revealed to her rival by Mei Xue.

Xiao Liu clenched her fists. How could this be? This golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, the princess of the demon fox clan, was using such a method to deceive Mei Xue.

Now, she finally understood where the "tolerance" and "indulgence" in Mei Xue's eyes came from.

Because, in Mei Xue's eyes, this little fox was never a romantic interest but a "pet."

This cunning little fox had used this method to get close to Mei Xue and secure a place in his heart.

Although it wasn't the position of a "lover," who knew what might happen in the future? At least, being able to be with Mei Xue freely was a miracle that even she couldn't achieve.

No, she had to speak up! This cunning golden-furred, jade-faced nine-tailed fox was clearly deceiving and toying with Mei Xue!

Xiao Liu took a step forward, about to speak.

Oh no! The little fox was drenched in cold sweat. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have transformed in front of her last night. But who could have guessed that this girl's true form was a blood-colored monster?

Yes, she definitely didn't see wrong. In that red tide, she clearly saw a monster, a three-headed monster. This was the true form of the girl in front of her, a blood-colored monster from an unknown origin.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain where her terrifying powers came from. She didn't believe a human could wield such supreme powers at this age.
