Chapter Seventy-Five

  At this moment, I don't even know what's under my feet, and my footsteps slowly move forward a bit. Oh dear, it's empty, bring it back and move it to the back a little, still empty.

  My legs went limp with fear, and I tightly hugged the fox's waist, not daring to look down.

  "Let's go down, it's too high here."

  I said this in a very unspirited way.

  "Uh-huh."

  The fox didn't hesitate, nodded, stretched out his hand, and with one hand tightly wrapped around my waist, pulled me into his arms and flew downwards. The speed was so fast that I didn't even dare to open my eyes.

  When his foot touched the ground, a loud "thud" was heard, followed by the sound of tiles falling and shattering on the ground behind him.

  "Go."

  "Where are you going?"

  I pulled him back and asked.

  "Let's go take a look at the place where I used to live, it's been a while since I left, and it's about time I went back." The fox tilted its head and said slowly.

  "Oh!"

  I nodded in agreement.

  Missing one's hometown and family, what difference is there between a fox spirit and an ordinary person? Everyone's heart is made of flesh, we all come from our parents' bellies. If I don't agree with this, I'm afraid it would make me seem inhumane.

  "What you said seems reasonable too, okay, let's go."

  I thought for a moment and said to him.

  The fox turned its head and smiled, the smile was extremely natural, without the usual playful and irreverent attitude, it took a sharp look, and indeed made people feel somewhat unaccustomed.

  I stood there in a daze, watching the smile on his face slowly fade away, and then, once again, a ferocious fox-like face turned towards me, with raised eyebrows, extremely disdainful, and angrily shouted at me: "What are you still doing there, hurry up and follow me!"

  "Keep up, keep up, I'm keeping up."

  I was powerless to resist and had no choice but to follow along.

  The fox swaggered along in front, the streetlights beside him slowly lighting up as if to welcome his arrival.

  I hastened to follow closely behind him; in this land of demons, it's still safer to follow him.

  "Fox, don't tell me you used to live in such a dark and gloomy place, I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me."

  Such a narcissistic and arrogant fox, how can it possibly tolerate a life without brilliance.

  "Yes, I am indeed living in such a place. Does the 13th generation have any opinion about it?"

  The fox's voice suddenly dropped very low, and he smiled with his teeth gleaming white.

  "No, it's just that I feel the environment here is not quite suitable for a dignified immortal like you. I think a dignified immortal like you should be living in one of those magnificent golden palaces."

  "Hahaha..."

  It seems like one of his words touched his heart, and the fox smiled smugly beside him.

  "That is, a thousand years ago, I was the supreme ruler of the demon world..."

  As he said that last sentence, his voice suddenly became very small, his feet landed on the ground, and with one push, he pushed me away, turned his back to me, and stood there motionless.

  "Hey, fox, what's wrong?"

  After a long time, he still stood there motionless, and I couldn't help but ask.

  He shook his head, looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

  After a while, when I thought he wasn't going to answer, the fox suddenly said: "I just told the 13th generation that I am a demon, does the 13th generation have any opinions to express?"

  "Huh?"

  This was beyond my expectation, I thought that since we brought him back from the ancestral hall, Grandfather and I had never actively asked him whether he was a demon or an immortal. All along, it was Grandfather who loudly proclaimed that he was a fox immortal, so in my subconscious mind, I also assumed he was an immortal.
