Chapter 2: The Fox Demon's Mission

  Remember in one second

  After eighteen years of sitting on a human cushion and electrifying into an adult form, he was a good fox tribe boy who loved life and obeyed the law, often helping little fox fairies learn, helping old fox fairies cross the bridge, even if they picked up their favorite food, small chicks, in the mountains, they would selflessly give them to the tribe leader, and were repeatedly rated as an excellent three-good fox fairy.

  At that time, he had no concept of hierarchy, and in his heart, all lives were equal. Nor did he know the difference between beauty and ugliness, as innocent and pure as the bright moon in the sky.

  After growing up for eighteen years, he was still excellent as always, and easily obtained various certificates such as the eighth-level certificate of human language, the eighth-level certificate of feline language, the eighth-level certificate of plant language, the tenth-level certificate of cave flute, etc. He became the object of admiration and pursuit by both men and women of the fox tribe. However, he devoted himself to his studies, putting aside worldly affairs and romantic entanglements.

  But it was at that moment that he discovered his grandmother's gaze towards him had changed

  。

  It seemed that suddenly, grandma no longer praised him as a good boy and began teaching him all sorts of strange ideas.

  "Us fox spirits, we were originally all perfect and flawless like you," Grandma said. "But twenty years ago, the workshop upstream of Yunmu River was struck by lightning and exploded, releasing all sorts of bad things into the river... which is why our children have all become deformed..."

  Fei Dian Tian asked her, "Grandma, how can companions turn into melons and dates?"

  "...... I was just describing how ugly they look."

  "There isn't actually..."

  "Don't interrupt me until I finish speaking," Grandma said sternly.

  Fei Dian quickly covered her own mouth and gestured for Grandma to continue speaking.

  "Child, you're an exception, I didn't expect that you wouldn't become ugly because of the river water, but instead became so beautiful, it's... it's simply perfect!" Grandma stretched out her wrinkled hand to stroke Fei Dian's face. "As for the concept of beauty and ugliness, those like your older sister with three legs and your second sister with one eye are called ugly, those like your third brother with twelve tails and heterochromia are especially ugly, but someone like you... is beautiful!"

  Fei Dian seemed to understand but didn't really get it at that moment, however, being obedient and filial as he was, he still nodded his head.

  "You're not only beautiful, but also extremely intelligent, Fei Dian. You are the hope of our Fox tribe, you are the only one in this generation who can complete our Fox tribe's mission! Although you're not a female fox spirit... it doesn't affect anything!"

  "What is the mission of the Fox Tribe?" Flying Electric asked curiously.

  "Wait for two more years, kid! You need to learn a lot more things in these two years. After that, I'll tell you!"

  After this conversation, Fei Dian never went to the Fox Tribe's Advanced Academy again, because his grandmother said he was a cut above the rest and couldn't mix with ordinary fox spirits. Even the fox spirits in the Advanced Academy were beneath him and not worth mentioning.

  Fei Dian began to have a concept of beauty and ugliness, and gradually formed a hierarchical view. Due to his talent, he gradually developed an uncontrollable pride. Finally, after two years, Fei Dian had transformed from the innocent fox demon boy into the dignified king of the fox demon tribe.

  Just like grandma always said: princesses are born, queens are made.

  。

  Finally, the day of completing the mission has arrived.

  Just now, before falling into the mortal world, Grandma and the clan leader brought Fei Dian to the central area of Yun You, surrounded by their own clansmen.

  "Fei Dian, do you know who she is?" Grandma asked, pointing at the huge stone carving in front of them.

  "She is the goddess of our Fox tribe, Daji."

  "Yes, she is the goddess of our Fox tribe," Grandma said. "Every hundred years, our Fox tribe will send a beautiful Fox girl to seduce the emperor in the human world."

  "This is the mission of the Fox Clan," Grandma continued, "As a beautiful young fox spirit, your mission is to entice the Emperor of the human world, let him neglect his duties for you, build a pool of wine and a forest of meat for you, oppress the people for you, and become a ruler cursed by all! Most importantly, make him fall in love with you!"

  Fei Yan furrowed his brow, "Why should I go and entice those inferior humans?"

  "This is a mission! It's a mission! The meaning of a mission is that everyone doesn't know why, but you just have to do it!" Grandma grasped the cane in her hand urgently and struck the ground heavily. Although she had taught Fei Dian pride and self-awareness over the past two years, this Fei Dian was completely disobedient compared to before, and even dared to question her.

  "....Alright, whatever grandma says goes." Fei Dian said casually, although he already had his own thoughts, he was still a filial and good child.

  "So go ahead, kid, fulfill your mission, and blow up the emperor of the human world's chrysanthemum!"

  "Huh? Exploding chrysanthemum?" Fei Dian was somewhat perplexed, as his grandmother hadn't taught him such things in the past two years. He bent down to pick a small chrysanthemum and poked its stamen with his finger, "Is this how it explodes?"

  Grandma's mouth twitched, and she didn't say a word for a long time. Then she threw down this wave of fox spirits and left silently.

  Fei Dian saw Nai Nai leave and didn't want to stay with the low-ranking fox spirits either, so he was about to follow Nai Nai's footsteps and leave as well. Suddenly, Nai Nai returned to everyone's face with something in her hand.

  "Electric flight..." Grandma trembled and raised the book in her hand, its pages worn out at the edges. The book's spine had been re-sewn by grandma, it was clear that she cherished this book a lot and often flipped through it.

  。

  "This 'Ji Le Bao Jian' was brought back from the human world by my grandmother fifty years ago, it will teach you how... to seduce an emperor." Grandmother's eyes were filled with tears as she gazed at the book reluctantly.

  Fei Dian thought that Grandma was reluctant to part with herself, so she reached out and took the book, saying, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'll definitely try my best to seduce the Emperor back."

  Grandma still held the book tightly, unwilling to let go. "But you must remember, never use spiritual power, or else you'll turn into a fox and can't change back."

  "Okay, got it, Grandma, let go quickly."

  Grandma still didn't want to let go, and turned around to say to Fei Dian's older sister, second sister, and third brother, "Children, your noble younger brother is about to represent you all in this generation to seduce the emperor in the mortal world. Come quickly and talk to him, because... who knows when you'll be separated for a long, long time..."

  "My perfect little brother......" The three-legged elder sister, with tears and saliva flowing down her face, grasped Fei Yan's hand tightly. "Do you know how much I don't want to let you go?... I wish I could take your place in seducing the Emperor instead...... Wuuu wuuu wuuu...... Alas, as a sister, I don't have your noble and icy demeanor, so I'm unable to complete this mission......"

  "My kind and sensible younger brother......" Er Jie's only eye flowed with scalding tears, "I share the same feelings as Big Sister, I wish to take your place in fulfilling this mission, how can we bear to see you suffer and toil, and still have to use your mind to entice that human who is not worthy of you, wu wu...... Sisters are simply too heartbroken......"

  "Fly electric," Third Brother, after all, is a good male fox who stands tall and upright. His icy blue and fiery red pupils are filled with reluctance, "Go, pioneer your new world, conquer humanity, let all humans kneel at your feet!"

  Flying Electric Face expressionless, looking at the crying big sister, second sister and grandma, as well as the reluctant third brother, lightly nodded his noble head, "Don't worry my dearest family members, I will definitely not disappoint you, and conquer those foolish ordinary people!"

  Grandma wiped away the tears on her face, took a last look at the book, gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, saying "You must return this book to me intact after you're done with it!"

  After saying this, Grandma kicked him out of the Fox tribe and into the human world with a ruthless kick, her eyes shining with tears.

  Lightning flashed back, and accidentally glanced at his tattered clothes. When he came, his clothes were clearly fine, probably because the speed of descent was too fast, the air friction ignited a fire that burned his clothes.

  Although he was originally here to seduce the emperor, he didn't want to expose his beauty in front of so many people, so he wrapped his long hair around himself and covered up tightly.

  。

  Speaking of emperors, where is the emperor?

  Fei Dian looked left and right, and finally saw a group of people with dull faces wearing precious clothes not far away. They were obviously not on the same level as the common people - thanks to Grandma's two-year hierarchical education, Fei Dian can now easily discover which pile the emperor is in.

  But which one of them is the emperor?

  ……

  Yun You, Hu Wang and the clan leader, as well as Fei Dian's family, were all standing in front of the Xuan Guang mirror, looking at Fei Dian. Fei Dian's older sister, Yan Yue, complained unknowingly, "Grandma, why did you let Fei Dian become such an arrogant fox? Not cute like when he was young, how can he win over the emperor of the human world with his cold demeanor?"

  "You know what," Grandma said with a queen-like expression, "Flying Lightning's original personality was so kind and gentle, it's easy to be deceived in the human world. Do you think humans love their own kind like we foxes do? They scheme against each other, kill and harm one another, Flying Lightning's past self would have been deceived!"

  "Grandma, why did you tell Fei Dian not to use his magical powers?" Fei Dian's second sister, Guan Shi, also complained. "If Fei Dian is bullied, won't he even be able to fight back? And by making him have this kind of personality now, Fei Dian will easily be disliked by the rulers of other kingdoms who think they are superior."

  "What do you know?" Grandma stared at Guan Shi, "Fei Dian is so kind, even if he thinks he's superior now, when a lowly human like him gets hurt, wouldn't he try to save them? Wouldn't that just waste his magic? And rescuing someone on the brink of death would originally consume half of one's magic. If I didn't tell him this, it wouldn't be long before Fei Dian had to return to Yun You to restart his cultivation!"

  "Grandma... we're still worried about flying electric..." said Yan Yue and Guan Shi together.

  "What's there to worry about?" Grandma said, tapping her cane on the ground, "If you two didn't look so inhuman, I'd have Flying Electric Fox seduce the king himself! You're not even making an effort, and yet you still dare to suspect your own brother!"

  "Grandma..." Flying Electric's Third Brother, Jueying, opened his mouth to plead for mercy on behalf of his two sisters, but before he could finish speaking, he was also hit with a stick.

  "Go back and continue your cultivation! Humph, in a few days I'll kick you down to the tribulation too!" She said viciously to the innocent-looking Jueying.
