Zhou Yu’er hooked her hair behind her ear, her eyes full of charm, and said in a soft and moving voice, “Brother Su, sister-in-law won’t be angry that you came out today, right?”

Damn, what a green tea!

Su Cheng used to enjoy Zhou Yu’er’s green tea nature, but now that he knew Zhou Yu’er’s true face, he couldn’t help but expose her, his emotions all clogged together.

“… She’s very strict with me, she’ll probably be angry.”

Seeing that the other party was not as obsessed with her as before but had instead become distant from her, Zhou Yu’er’s face darkened, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

She didn’t think that the usual seduction techniques would be effective.

She subconsciously raised her hand to touch the fox pendant and gently tapped the surface of the pendant with her index finger.

In a small corner inside the jade pendant, the pale and haggard little fox raised his paw and rubbed his face. Then he cheered himself up and condensed a ball of mana at his fingertips.

Once the mana condensed, he used it to cast a spell.

Su Cheng turned his head and saw Zhou Yu’er’s face, with her head turned away as if she was shy.

The other person’s beautiful and charming face constantly reminded him that this was only an illusion, making him tremble all over as if he was being stared at by an evil ghost.

He didn’t want to deal with a vixen, and his girlfriend was here, so this was the perfect time for him to show his loyalty.

He thought so and did so.

He raised his hand to his lips and cleared his throat, “Yu’er, I came here this time to tell you something. I have a girlfriend. I love her. Let’s not contact each other in the future.”

Zhou Yu’er: “?”

She was shocked. All of a sudden the charm technique wasn’t working!

She clenched the jade pendant tightly, the veins on her hands bulged. What was wrong with Hu Lai? He was getting slower and slower.

Unable to get a response from the fox, Zhou Yu’er showed a complicated smile on her face. “Brother Su, you are right, let’s do it this way. Please treat sister-in-law well.”

Just wait until the charm takes effect and let’s see how fast you will beg me!

Su Cheng was getting more and more into the role and he said to her with affection in his eyes, “Your sister-in-law is jealous, there is nothing I can do but spoil her. In the play where we met, we were a couple for life, and it’s still the same outside the play.”

He just wanted to swear to heaven that he was loyal to his girlfriend.

Zhou Yu’er: “…”

She lowered her eyes, worried that Su Cheng would see the deep jealousy in her eyes. She was filled with jealousy because the idol she had liked for so long actually confessed his feelings for another woman.

What do you mean by a couple for life? That’s so corny.

How could a man with a weak mind who could be easily controlled by magic say this?

“I really envy you two!” She said this while increasing the strength of her hand, rubbing the fox pendant, almost rubbing it to produce sparks. The implication was self-evident.

Put a spell on him!

However, the jade pendant did not respond for a long time. After a long time, when her patience was almost exhausted, a childish and crisp voice rang in her ears, “Yu’er, he already has someone he likes and wants to spend his life with, why do you want to break them up?”

Zhou Yu’er quickly looked towards Su Cheng—the person sitting across her was still smiling, and seemed not to notice anything unusual.

Hu Lai added, “I set up a soundproofing spell, so he can’t hear us.”

Zhou Yu’er gritted her teeth, lowered her voice and said, “Don’t worry about my affairs, just help me.”

The voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and impatience.

However, the jade pendant did not respond for a long time, and the image showed that the owner was not cooperating.

Seeing that he was so disobedient, Zhou Yu’er rolled her eyes and started to play the emotional card, “I really like him so much, just think of it as helping me realize my dream. Dreams don’t last long, and I will be satisfied after today’s date.”

“Last time, and last time, there are so many last times, you’ve lied to me so many times,” Hu Lai said in a muffled voice.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Zhou Yu’er bit her rosy lips, leaving a tooth mark. She could only play her trump card. “But I saved your life, I am your benefactor…”

The fox in the jade pendant lowered its head upon hearing this, looking extremely depressed, with a look of deep confusion in its eyes.

… … translated by Maela @ whitemoonlighttranslations.com

Foxes usually have relatives who teach them knowledge, but this red fox has been lonely since childhood and grew up freely in the countryside. Although it was a carnivore, it was timid and dared not hunt. It usually lived on berries and even chewed tree bark when it was hungry.

By chance, he came to Sujia Village¹ where a Fox Immortal who could be his great-aunt was enshrined.

Upon meeting the Fox Immortal, he bowed, filled as he was with emotions, and asked this great-aunt about himself.

“You don’t eat meat. Your spirit is pure—you will definitely have great success in cultivation in the future.”

Before Hu Lai could be happy, the hoarse voice of the fox fairy sounded in his ears, “But you are stupid and dumb, and you will suffer a great disaster in the future, and your chances of survival are very slim.”

At that time, he didn’t even know what a disaster was. Unlike others who were very worried when they heard about the disaster, he still looked happy.

The Fox Immortal seemed unable to bear it any longer and asked, “Do you have a name?”

The fox shook his head, “No.”

Without parents or siblings to name him, he was just a wild fox in the countryside.

The Fox Immortal sighed slightly, her voice low and hoarse, “Hu Lai—that’s your name. Disasters come because of Hu Lai, and opportunities also come because of Hu Lai.”

FOOTNOTE:

1. Sujia Village means the village of the Su family. I think this is the ancestral village of Su Lai’s family (An Rugu’s colleague from the Special Cases Management Bureau) and the ‘great-aunt’ who gave Hu Lai his name is the Fox Immortal that they worship. ↩︎
