Chapter 119: So Jealous It Hurts
When she saw Kailun, the Fox Spirit had already calmed down. She realized that his appearance wasn’t a coincidence.
But what puzzled her was how did Kailun know about this place?
The Fox Spirit looked at Kailun warily with her pink eyes, recalling the memories sealed in her heart.
More than ten years ago, she was a member of this town. She had been adopted by an old woman since she was a child and always thought she was human.
Because she had charming eyes like a fox, the illiterate old woman named her Fox.
Fox was Fox, her name had never changed.
To the Fox Spirit of the past, she was just an ordinary little girl, apart from being exceptionally beautiful, she didn’t seem to have anything special.
She lived an optimistic and ordinary life, living a peaceful life.
Until one day, she found a dusty wooden box in the underground secret room built by the old woman. Out of curiosity, she opened the wooden box and found many scrolls inside.
Perhaps she was exceptionally talented, she learned the knowledge on them as if by instinct.
Spring went and winter came, a year passed in a blink of an eye.
During this year, the old woman didn’t notice anything unusual about her, even if she noticed that the Fox Spirit was going out early and coming back late, she wouldn’t ask.
Until one day, the Fox Spirit finally figured out the last mysterious scroll.
She released the magic called “Good Luck” on the scroll, but the imagined good luck didn’t come.
The favor of fate allowed her to see a corner of the future, in the picture, the world fell into war.
Continuous wars swept across the world, everyone went crazy, and on the final battlefield, she seemed to see herself.
In the corner of the future, she was manipulating the fate of the world, affecting both the past and the future.
The self in the picture had a mature and charming face, with ruthlessness and indifference in her eyes.
The sky was pitch black, the world fell into silence, and in front of her, a person was walking towards the darkness with firm steps.
The figure’s back looked both male and female, sometimes tall and sometimes short, like two figures superimposed on each other in a special way.
The self in the picture pulled out a strand of the figure’s fate and held it in her hand, but before the Fox Spirit could continue watching, her consciousness completely blacked out.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky was constantly showering down fate’s “gifts”.
They were golden spots of light falling from the sky, sinking into houses and grasslands.
Dense spots of light fell on people, as if casting a petrification spell on them, making them all freeze in place.
The Fox Spirit saw strands of fate being stripped from their bodies, and finally all of them merged into her own body.
The gift of fate restored her true appearance, white fox ears and tail grew out of thin air.
But with the loss of fate, the people in the town lost the possibility of a future, so they fell down one after another like wood, completely losing their breath of life.
The young Fox Spirit was frightened by this scene. She cried as she searched for the old woman who had adopted her, but she searched the entire town and couldn’t find her.
It was as if the old woman never existed.
She spent three whole days in self-blame and fear. It wasn’t until those who had gone out returned to check on her that she wrapped herself in a robe to cover her ears and tail.
After asking these humans, their answers were all the same. They said that there was never an old woman in the town as she described, only a lonely little girl named Fox.
For a time, the Fox Spirit lost her meaning in life.
Wandering alone in the silent town, she came to the inn where she often ate with the old woman and left a few words on the wall.
If it was the old woman, she would definitely recognize her handwriting.
The young Fox Spirit didn’t think too much, she was more immersed in sadness and self-blame.
If it weren’t for her casual attempt, the residents of the town wouldn’t have died, she blamed everything on herself.
The Fox Spirit, who was no longer human, hid all the way and finally hid in the abyss, where she met a very valuable dragon princess.
It was because of that princess that the Fox Spirit came out of the shadows and started a new life. Since then, she would return to the town once a year.
As she got older, she felt more and more that what happened back then wasn’t simple, but no matter how she deduced it, she couldn’t find the existence of the old woman.
To this day, she couldn’t even remember the old woman’s name.
Her thoughts returned to Kailun, she still saw dense threads of fate.
If she could, she wouldn’t want to have too much contact with Kailun, what she wanted was to dig out his body after his death and study it carefully, this was the safest way.
Now she had reached the peak of the eighth-rank, one step further and she would reach the ninth-rank, but she was currently stuck at the gate of the ninth-rank.
It was like her head was inside the door, her butt was outside the door, and her waist was stuck in the middle, it was very strange.
“What’s wrong? Miss Fox, have you fallen for me? You’ve been looking at me for so long without saying a word.”
The one who broke the silence was Kailun, this time he took the initiative to walk towards the Fox Spirit.
As he got closer step by step, the Fox Spirit actually took a step back: “Don’t come any closer, or I won’t be able to resist slapping you. I remember all the obscene things you just said, if you can’t give me an explanation, just wait for my revenge.”
Even though the Kailun in front of her was only at the first-rank, the Fox Spirit still retreated.
Or rather, the first-rank Kailun actually gave her immense pressure. According to the information she had gathered, Kailun clearly had the strength to fight against an eighth-rank.
As a manipulator of fate, she had many life-saving methods, but at this moment, these life-saving methods couldn’t give her a sense of security.
It was precisely because she understood Kailun that she knew that this young man, who was even younger than her, never fought unprepared battles.
Since he was waiting for her to take the bait so openly, it meant that Kailun had the possibility of taking her down.
Thinking of this, the Fox Spirit had the idea of running away. Negotiations could be done through magic letters, she didn’t want to stay here any longer.
“Miss Fox, are you trying to leave?” Kailun’s eyes were frivolous, he deliberately teased her in a flirtatious manner: “Since Miss Fox has come to the Kingdom of Xiya, you must want to see me, right? Since you’re already here, why don’t we have a date?”
The Fox Spirit in his previous life had teased him with this frivolous big sister attitude, so Kailun naturally wanted to return the favor.
“No, I’m just passing by, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” The Fox Spirit shook her head repeatedly, at this moment, she was more like a little girl who was easy to bully.
In just half a month, their positions had reversed. She still remembered when she met the Fox Spirit outside the city, Kailun was still trembling, afraid of angering her and suffering unreasonable revenge.
At that time, the Fox Spirit threatened to turn Kailun into a puppet, her attitude casual and natural.
“No, no, no, Miss Fox, do you think I’ll believe your words so easily? Not long ago, an assassin from the Temple of the Heavenly God came to assassinate me, so can I also suspect that Miss Fox is also an assassin who came to assassinate me? And didn’t Miss Fox just threaten to crush my head? Now that I’m standing in front of you, don’t you want to try it?”
Kailun pointed to his head, his smile was extremely aggressive.
As he spoke, Kailun had already walked to within five meters of the Fox Spirit, this was already a very sensitive distance, if he took another step forward, the Fox Spirit might immediately launch a counterattack.
However, Kailun, who was extremely familiar with the Fox Spirit, stood just five meters away, making it impossible for her to advance or retreat.
“I think there must be some misunderstanding, I only came here because the magic circle I left behind was touched. Since I’ve already met you, I might as well say it directly, the purpose of my coming here is to negotiate with you.”
After the previous worry, the Fox Spirit had regained her composure, a charming smile reappeared on her face.
This time, she was wearing a beautiful dress, her fluffy fox tail swaying behind her.
Kailun’s gaze was once attracted by the Fox Spirit’s tail, because that thing used to be his exclusive pillow.
No matter what, the Fox Spirit was someone who had experienced great storms, she changed her attitude in an instant.
“Negotiate with me? You mean you want me to be a traitor to the human race?” Kailun frowned, his expression serious.
In terms of changing faces, Kailun was even faster than the Fox Spirit.
The Fox Spirit giggled: “If you’re willing, it’s not impossible. If you join the abyss, I’ll personally teach you some fun things.”
The Fox Spirit stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips, her seductive posture was extremely alluring.
She was a captivating enchantress, Kailun in his previous life had fallen under her spell because of such a simple action, it was truly embarrassing.
Kailun took a step closer and showed an intoxicated look: “Fun things? Is it making love? I’m in, you can teach me now.”
Fox Spirit: “…”
It was too easy, she felt there must be a trap.
And did he really not hesitate for even a second?
At least pretend to think about it.
“Little puppet, do you really want to join the abyss? Let me tell you first, the abyss is not a good place, not only is there no good food or fun, even the resources for your growth are extremely scarce. And the Temple of the Heavenly God is confronting us, aren’t you afraid that they will target your kingdom?”
The Fox Spirit’s smile didn’t change, but she subconsciously took a step back, continuing to maintain a five-meter distance from Kailun.
Kailun: “It doesn’t matter, as long as Miss Fox can teach me some fun things, I’ll be satisfied.”
[Your persistent pestering made the Fox Spirit disgusted. Favorability -10, Total favorability -40]
Thanks to the Fox Spirit’s gift, he was one step closer to the ninth-rank, just a little bit more and he would be able to break through the threshold of the ninth-rank, so let him bully the Fox Spirit more.
Kailun leaned back slightly, an indescribable sense of pleasure was about to overflow.
“Little brother, you’re really good at joking, if you keep doing this, I’m really going to get angry~”
The Fox Spirit was smiling on the surface, but she was already cursing in her heart.
Look at Kailun’s current posture, what was the difference between him and a madman or a pervert?
She felt like she was being pestered by a stalker, reason was telling her to run away as soon as possible, but instinct was driving her to get closer to Kailun.
She was going …. crazy, how could she have this feeling?
The Fox Spirit, who had never fallen for a man, was already a little confused.
“It’s okay, I like to see you angry the most, you can scold me more, it’s best if you scold me while giving me a disgusted look.”
Kailun knew what the Fox Spirit hated, so he would approach her with the personality she hated.
The Fox Spirit had a strong desire for control, she always liked to ride on Kailun’s head and boss him around.
Among all the girls Kailun knew, the Fox Spirit was the most “burning” one, bar none.
After breaking through the barrier of purity, she refreshed Kailun’s worldview again and again, she was like a walking juicer.
……
On the other side, Afra, hiding in the corner, clenched her fists, she said to Isabella without hiding her jealousy: “I’m jealous, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going out to strip this burning fox naked.”
Seeing this, Isabella quickly grabbed Afra’s arm and said: “You are the only one who has a confirmed relationship with Kailun, you are the official wife, a mere fox spirit can’t affect you. Let’s wait and see, maybe Kailun just wants to play around.”
She held Afra’s hand to prevent her from acting impulsively. Since Kailun came into contact with the Fox Spirit, Isabella had noticed that the threads of fate on both of them were fluctuating crazily.
This was a situation that had never happened before, Isabella wanted to observe carefully.
She saw a terrifying amount of fate’s favor on the Fox Spirit, presumably she was also an expert in destiny magic.
“I know, but I can’t help it!”
Afra’s cold and elegant face showed a wronged expression, as she spoke, she subconsciously drew her sword.
She wasn’t bragging, her current position was very good, as long as she took advantage of the opportunity, she could stab the Fox Spirit’s heart with one sword, ensuring that she had no chance of making a comeback.
For an eighth-rank existence, even if their heart was shattered, they wouldn’t die immediately.
She could force the Fox Spirit to sign a slave contract, so that she wouldn’t affect her position.
‘Should I try it?’
Under Kailun’s guidance, the originally pure Afra also started to become scheming.
“Please hold back, otherwise, if you interfere with Kailun’s plan, he will definitely hate you.”
In order to calm Afra down, Isabella could only exaggerate.
“Will Kailun really hate me?”
Afra hesitated, her hand holding the sword trembled.
She was afraid of nothing, except being hated by Kailun.
She could tolerate everything, except Kailun’s hatred.
For Afra, Kailun had become the entirety of her emotions.
She was pure, so pure that she could only give her heart to one person.
“It’s possible, so let’s watch carefully, you’re already so far ahead, are you still afraid of being backstabbed?”
Isabella patiently comforted Afra, she felt like a little mother.
“I… Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After hesitating for a long time, Afra finally put down her sword.
She stared at the Fox Spirit with sharp eyes, if the Fox Spirit made any unfavorable move towards Kailun, she would be the first to rush out and stab the Fox Spirit’s heart with her sword.
Fox spirits were all bad things!
For some reason, a strong jealousy welled up in her heart, it seemed like she was born to hate foxes.
She felt as if the Fox Spirit had already snatched Kailun away and even laughed at her.
This surging emotion made her unable to suppress the desire to strike. She didn’t feel this way when she first met the Fox Spirit, but why was this emotion so clear this time?
Wiping the corner of her eye with her finger, Afra felt moisture.
She never thought that one day she would be so wronged by jealousy that she would cry.
Wiping her eyes with her sleeve, Afra regained her composure.
She didn’t know where the emotions in her heart came from, but she just hated the Fox Spirit, she hated her very much!
Isabella looked at Afra blankly, she also saw a strange change in Afra, the magical threads of fate had merged together.
Isabella’s eyes sparkled, she seemed to see a corner of the forbidden realm of fate.
‘Something magical must have happened in this world!’ Isabella was absolutely certain.
Her curiosity had been piqued, and now she was less and less willing to leave Kailun.
……
[Isabella is curious about you. Favorability +27, Total favorability 45]
The strange increase in favorability stunned Kailun for a moment, when did his charm increase to such an extent?
Shaking his head, Kailun focused his attention on the Fox Spirit.
“Don’t come any closer, if you come any closer, I’ll really get angry!”
The Fox Spirit suddenly felt a chill down her spine, she felt like someone was plotting against her, her heart was pounding.
As if she had done something shameful, she looked around and quickly cast a defensive magic spell to protect herself.
“I’m only at the first-rank, Miss Fox, you don’t have to be afraid of me, and I’m very familiar with you, I even know your unknown secrets.”
As he spoke, Kailun took another step forward, this time the distance between them shortened to four meters.
Fox Spirit: “My unknown secrets?”
“Yes, your unknown secrets, for example, you have a mole on your butt, and you also have a mole on your side chest. Let me think, you’re actually a white tiger, and what you’re most afraid of is being tickled…”
Kailun said those unspeakable secrets while counting on his fingers.
Fox Spirit: “???”
In just a few seconds, the Fox Spirit was greatly shocked. She looked down at her chest and then at her lower abdomen, her face changing.
She put away her fake smile and looked at Kailun coldly, asking: “How did you know?”
“How did I know? Of course, I divined it, you didn’t think I couldn’t divine, did you?”
Kailun took out a gold coin and tossed it up in the air, imitating Isabella’s manner.
Isabella, hiding in the corner, looked at the fluctuations of fate on the gold coin and was stunned for a moment, why did the gold coin in Kailun’s hand look so much like hers?
Having a bad feeling, Isabella quickly searched herself, and it turned out that the gold coin she usually used was really gone.
“That’s my gold coin!” Isabella was angry, she wanted to rush out regardless.
But Afra grabbed Isabella’s arm: “Don’t be hasty, let’s wait and see. If you can’t endure small things, you’ll mess up big plans. I’ll help you teach the Fox Spirit a lesson later.”
Isabella: “But the one who stole my gold coin was Kailun.”
“It’s okay, I’ll help you teach the Fox Spirit a lesson.” Afra repeated what she had just said.
Isabella: “…”
Alright, the person in front of her was completely unable to communicate, her eyes were filled with the image of a certain fox.
The chaos in the corner didn’t interfere with Kailun’s actions, he said while tossing the gold coin: “Since you don’t believe me, I’ll divine it in front of you. This time, let’s divine who you like.”
Tossing the gold coin over his head, Kailun used it to attract the Fox Spirit’s attention.
Before the gold coin fell halfway, Kailun caught it and announced the result: “Wow, the person you like is actually me, this is really unbelievable. Since that’s the case, let me hug you, hehehe~”
Kailun, holding the gold coin, rushed directly towards the Fox Spirit.
“You’re courting death!”
The Fox Spirit shouted delicately and instantly threw out an eighth-rank impact magic spell.
The powerful magic instantly hit Kailun, sending him flying more than ten meters and crashing into the wall.
But before that, Kailun smiled and shouted: “Attack, catch the pet!”
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kailun crashed into the wall.
“Phew~ He’s really a pervert.” Looking at Kailun flying out, the Fox Spirit let out a long sigh of relief.
After living for so many years, this was the first time she had met someone as perverted as Kailun. Originally, she still had some thoughts about Kailun, but now thinking about it made her shudder.
No, the reason she was shuddering wasn’t because of Kailun!
Turning her head, she saw a silver figure rushing towards her.
“Ninth-rank?!”
The Fox Spirit only had time to exclaim, she didn’t even have time to defend before the other party approached her.
“Crack!”
The eighth-rank magic shield was shattered like glass by the silver figure. By the time she came to her senses, the other party’s sword hilt was already slapping towards her fair neck.
“Slap!”
The perfectly controlled force hit the Fox Spirit’s side neck.
Just as she saw the woman’s face clearly, she rolled her eyes and fainted. Before she passed out, a strange thought came to her mind.
‘So it’s the loser.’
With this thought, the Fox Spirit collapsed to the ground.
“Hmph, how dare she look at me with that kind of look, I should have stabbed this burning fox to death with my sword.”
Afra snorted coldly and put away her sword.
She felt relieved.
Because of the attribute points suddenly sent by Kailun, her attributes directly doubled, and her strength more than tripled.
It was precisely because of this powerful strength that she was able to instantly defeat the Fox Spirit.
Right, where was Kailun?
As the attributes on the other side receded like a tide, Afra quickly ran to the wall and pulled Kailun out of the rubble.
“Cough, cough, I knew I shouldn’t have played it so close to the limit, I almost lost face.”
Kailun coughed, he looked a bit miserable now.
Before being sent flying, Kailun had allocated his attributes to physique, after being sent flying into the wall and falling down, he allocated his attributes to Afra, doubling her attributes.
“Where’s my gold coin?”
Isabella walked up to Kailun and held out her hand, she was already being merciful by not lowering her favorability.
Maybe it was because she was too familiar with Kailun, so her expectations of him were very low.
In Isabella’s eyes, Kailun was equivalent to a demon.
“Here you go, here you go, this slipped out of your pocket accidentally, I didn’t do anything bad.”
Kailun returned the gold coin to Isabella, he wasn’t lying this time.
Isabella tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: “… Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, you also contributed to catching the Fox Spirit this time, come with me to see how she’s doing now.” Kailun smiled after patting the dust off his body.
But his smile only lasted for a second because he noticed that Afra’s eyes were not right.
At this moment, Afra narrowed her eyes and smiled: “Little brother Kailun, can you tell me who this fox spirit is?”
As soon as she spoke, a huge wave of jealousy engulfed Kailun.
***
狐狸(húli) is her name, which means Fox.
