For the red fox, once it can resolutely abandon its inherent idea of ​​being a demon fox,
After completely letting go of the secular prejudice that a male fox can transform into a woman, and choosing to follow the path of what humans think, need and want,

Its growth rate will be much faster, just like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

Sometimes, he is an orphan who sells herself to bury her father. Although she is down and out, she still has a unique appearance, and occasionally gets a glimpse of princes and nobles;
Sometimes, he was a prostitute who sponsored poor scholars. Countless people spent all their wealth just to see her beauty, but she died for only one person.

Sometimes, he is the daughter of a noble family that countless talented people dream of, and finally enters the throne and becomes the most powerful person in the world;

Sometimes, he is also a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, claiming that he has waited for thousands of years in the mortal world just for your return;

Sometimes he is as delicate as a willow in the wind, and sometimes he is as round as a jade. Whoever is attracted by him will gain something if he thinks about it.

The red fox's style of action is very purposeful. After easily passing through the stage where it is easiest to gain someone's attention, it will often choose to leave without hesitation, without any dragging its feet.

This decisiveness and resoluteness is the distinctive feature of the red fox's character.

But it is different with Baihu. She and He Qingyuan have never been separated since they got married.

Sometimes even when the red fox came to see her, he only dared to meet her in secret.

The mentality of the red fox is completely different from that of the white fox.

Time flies, and more than sixty years have passed again.

During this period of time, the red fox's cultivation level was greatly improved.

The only tail it originally had actually grew into three.

This speed of progress is much faster than that of the white fox at the beginning.

The white fox couldn't help but be shocked by the red fox's amazing growth.

You know, in the past eighty years or so, the red fox has only had one tail.

However, the white fox did not feel jealous or dissatisfied because of this.

On the contrary, she was quickly relieved.

After all, the red fox's talent for reading people's minds is obvious to all.

And during these sixty years, the white fox has not been idle.

She is also working hard to absorb thoughts and continuously improve her strength.

Now, she has grown her seventh tail and is not far from the realm of nine tails.

……

The scholar named He Qingyuan whom I met by chance in the ancient temple went to Beijing to take the imperial examination with great ambition. Although he failed to pass the exam as he wished,

But with the careful help of the white fox, he was able to find his own foothold in the prosperous capital city and opened a tailor shop to make a living.

Although the life of the white fox and He Qingyuan is ordinary, the white fox is completely different from the red fox.

She felt very satisfied that she could absorb thoughts from ordinary life without having to spend any effort.

However, things are unpredictable, and He Qingyuan is just a mortal after all.
His life is limited, which is completely different from the demon fox White Fox.

Early in the morning of that day, white papers fluttered in the capital city. They were like snowflakes, starting from the West Gate, drifting along the roads of the capital city, and finally arriving in front of Babaoshan.

Babaoshan is located more than 20 miles west of the capital and is considered a cemetery.

As long as you spend some money, you can rest in peace here.

The woman transformed from the white fox still maintained her youthful appearance. She took out some silver and handed it to the monk who had just finished chanting sutras for the salvation of souls.

After the monk took the silver, he put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Your father has returned to the Western Paradise. Miss, please don't be too sad."

After hearing this, the white fox just said "hmm" softly and didn't say anything else.

After the monk slowly left and his figure gradually disappeared from sight,

The red fox at the side finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the white fox softly:

"Sister, are all these humans' lifespans so short?"

Hearing this, the white fox exhaled softly, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
He nodded hesitantly and replied slowly: "Probably..."

"This is the first time I have accompanied a human being for such a long time, until he passed away, and witnessed his life go from prosperity to decay."

There was a hint of emotion in the white fox's voice.

"When I was incarnated before, I was too playful and always attracted by the prosperity of the world, just like you now."

The white fox continued, "At that time, I would get bored after a few years and change my mind. I never really paid attention to how long they lived."

"But, only He Lang, I saw his hair turn from black to white, wrinkles appear on his face, his teeth fall out one by one, and finally he took his last breath."

At this point, White Fox couldn't help but recall the past. She sighed again.

"However, compared to the mortals I have seen, He Lang is already much better. At least he is not suffering from illness, and he can still take care of himself at over 70 years old, which is very rare."

After hearing this, the red fox nodded in agreement:
"Yes, it seems that humans are so fragile. Their lives are like a flash in the pan, fleeting."

"I really don't understand why such a fragile thing can become the source of our thoughts."

The white fox did not respond directly to the red fox's question, but lowered his head silently, staring at the tombstone in front of him, as if he was in deep thought.
I don’t know where her thoughts are drifting to, and what past events she is recalling.

When the red fox saw this, he immediately realized that he might have asked the wrong question and touched some sensitive part of the white fox's heart.

So he quickly spoke, trying to change the subject and make up for his mistake:

"However, my sister seems to have never aged, nor has she grown any gray hair. Didn't He Qingyuan have any doubts about this at the beginning?"

After hearing what the red fox said, the white fox slowly raised its head.
There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he had returned to that distant time. "Actually..."

She spoke softly, with a barely perceptible sigh in her voice, "He Lang asked me this question more than 40 years ago."

"At that time, he had gray hair early because of the hardship of making a living and because he was worried that I couldn't give birth to a child for him."

"He Lang once asked me: 'Now my hair and beard are all white, and my face is haggard, why is your wife still as young and beautiful as when I first met her?'"

The red fox became curious and asked, "So how did your sister answer He Lang at that time?"

Bai Hu was immersed in memories and said slowly: "The real reason is that I, who was hidden deep in He Lang's heart, have always been as young and beautiful as when we first met."

"Only by maintaining this appearance can I gain the most of his attention and make him never forget me." "However, I can't tell him the truth." The white fox continued, "So, I told He Lang that I was afraid that he would despise my old age and fading beauty, so I used potion to dye my hair black to maintain my youthful appearance."

The white fox continued to speak, and when she finished this sentence,
He Qingyuan looked at her affectionately and said seriously: "No matter what my wife becomes, my heart will not change."

Having said this, the white fox fell silent for a while, and the red fox also stopped talking.

After a long time, Chihu finally spoke to break the silence: "Sister, were you really moved at that time?"

The white fox shook his head, a complicated look flashing in his eyes: "No... but you know what? He Lang didn't die of old age."

Upon hearing this, Chihu showed a puzzled look on his face, obviously not knowing the cause of He Qingyuan's death:

"Didn't my sister say that he died of natural causes?"

The white fox shook his head gently: "That's not the case. This is just what we say to outsiders."

"He Lang once told me that he had already realized my true identity and that I was not an ordinary person. He hoped that I could take off my disguise and be honest with him."

There was a hint of helplessness in Baihu's tone:
"After hearing this, I hesitated for a while, but finally transformed into my true form, wanting to be honest with him."

"After all, I was thinking that He Lang would not live long, so I should fulfill his wish."

"But he was a little too obsessed with dragons. The moment He Lang saw my true form, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he was frightened to death in the end."

"I realized afterwards that He Lang had always believed that I was a fairy from heaven who had come down to earth."

When the red fox heard this, he was stunned. He didn't know how to answer this question.

After all, she had only seen people who could scare their husbands to death in vernacular novels.

The white fox sighed deeply and continued, "In fact, what He Lang has always loved is only my flesh and blood, not the real me."

"He doesn't have any real feelings for me. So how could I be moved by him?"

"Besides, who in this world would really like a monster?"

Seeing that the white fox seemed to be a little emotional, the red fox was about to say something comforting.

But he was interrupted by the white fox: "I know that too, brother, you don't have to say it."

"It is clearly written in the Nine Lives Heart Certificate that whether one is sincere or gives birth to a human offspring, it is a foolish act that will cut off one's own path."

"But please rest assured, I will never do such a thing!"

The white fox's eyes flashed with determination: "Rebuilding the glory of the Qingqiu Fox Clan is the wish I made when I set out on this journey."

"Of course I won't give up my wish just because of a mere mortal."

"In all the years I've been with He Lang, I've accumulated a lot of thoughts. I'm probably not far from growing an eighth tail."

Hearing this, the red fox nodded, his eyes full of trust: "I believe in you, sister. You will definitely be able to lead our Qingqiu fox clan to regain its glory and restore its former glory!"

Having said this, the red fox paused again and continued, "However, sister... there was actually one thing you said wrong just now."

The white fox was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then the red fox looked at her seriously and said, "You are wrong. I have always liked your true appearance, sister!"

This sentence seemed to touch a soft corner deep in Baihu's heart, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in her eyes:
"After so many years... Brother, can you still remember what I look like?"

"Then, brother, close your eyes and think carefully about what your sister's true appearance is like. It seems... even I can't quite remember it myself."

Upon hearing this, the red fox nodded:
"Indeed, I haven't seen my sister's true form for many years. However, I still remember it very clearly and will never forget it."

As he spoke, the red fox slowly closed his eyes, as if he was immersing himself in that distant memory:

"It was a snowy day. Sister, your body was so big that it seemed to block out the sun. Your hair was as thick as rolling clouds, and your temperament was more ferocious than a tiger in the mountains. Your eyes were as red as blood, flashing with a fascinating light, and your sharp teeth were intimidating..."

When the red fox opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him stunned him slightly.

I saw a white fox with seven tails fluttering behind it, and its entire body was actually a hundred meters long. It had an extremely ferocious aura, as if it could devour everything around it.

"Yes, that's it!" The red fox became a little excited at this moment. He seemed to see again the sister who once made him in awe and yearning.

However, the white fox sighed, and her body began to shrink rapidly, eventually becoming only seven feet long.

She sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her voice:
"Forget it, brother. What you described is not my true self at all."

"What exactly is your impression of your sister like?"

The red fox seemed to have some kind of inspiration and immediately transformed into its original form.

He was big and strong with thick hair, which formed a sharp contrast with the white fox.

He walked gently to the white fox and said, "Look, sister, I am older than you now."

The white fox turned sideways, only to find that it was only in front of the red fox's chest.

She immediately showed a look of surprise, and her eyes involuntarily revealed memories of the past, and she sighed softly:

"I never thought that you have grown so big, brother. You are much taller than me."

"And your physical strength seems to have become unusually strong, at least many times stronger than mine." Bai
Upon hearing this, the red fox couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face, and said with his head held high:
"Of course! I am a completely different person now!"

"Just last month, I encountered a six-tribulation tiger demon in the forest. The tiger demon was extremely ferocious, but I eventually killed it with ease."

When the white fox heard this, he was extremely surprised.

She knew very well that the Six Tribulations Tiger Demon was extremely powerful, but the fact that the Red Fox was able to defeat it easily was enough to prove that his talent and strength were extraordinary.

The white fox was surprised: "It seems that A-di's talent is not limited to his mind, maybe he is also outstanding in fighting."

"The prosperity of our Qingqiu Fox Clan may be just around the corner."

The brother and sister did not stay in front of the tomb for too long and then went their separate ways.

The white fox thought to herself that she was not too far away from having eight tails, and she couldn't wait to give birth to the nine tails.

The red fox, on the other hand, is very playful. He will change his target every few years or even months to gain their attention.

Although this free-wheeling lifestyle made White Fox feel helpless, because Red Fox had such extraordinary talent, she just let him do what he wanted.

Just like that, time passed silently for several decades. (End of this chapter)
