When she saw that Di Cangâs figure was nowhere to be seen anymore, the celestial fox finally lowered the disgust in its eyes and bounced right back out into the open.
âYou little thing, werenât you acting all fierce when attacking me before?â Bai Yan sends a knock with her knuckle against the foxâs forehead after seeing that wagging tail.
In return, the little fella only made a wooing sound to show its apology. Thatâs because I thought you were part of those bad people. I didnât know you were not with them.
Itâs then right as the celestial fox felt safe in the womanâs arm, the disgusting scent of a man had caught itâs nose again. Immediately, her first instinct was to make a dash for the bushes after puffing up that fur.
Unfortunately for the fox, itâs already too late.
Catching her by the collar, Di Cang angrily stares down at the animal in his hands with a dark menacing face: âIf not for you hating the male sex, my wife wouldnât have had to come here alone. If not for you being such a pest, my wife wouldnât have attracted those bastards either. Now how should I deal with you for making all this trouble?â
Itâs exactly as the demon king says, Bai Yan only came into extreme danger because of this fox attracting the Celestial Clanâs attention and bringing the hunting party over. Otherwise, she couldâve given birth without issue albeit at never getting the blood for Bai Xiachen.
âOoohhhhoooo!â
The celestial fox struggled violently and didnât back down from Di Cangâs face. In fact, the disgust in its eyes towards the man never lightened up in the least and only grew stronger.
Narrowing his eyes in as well: âYanâer, how about we eat a fox today for dinner?â
This threat instantly causes the fox to freeze up and not move anymore. Itâs tearing up at her own unfortunate fate because she really regrets coming out of hiding today.
Oooohwooo, this horrible man, how can he eat my flesh when heâs also a fox!
Itâs terribleâ¦
I knew it, men are not good at all!
âDi Cang, she saved me so quit scaring her.â Bai Yan reaches over to bring the celestial fox back into her fold, âCelestial Fox, Iâm really curious, why do you hate men so much to begin with? Did they do something to you?â
It shouldâve been easy to answer that question, but the little fella only stared at the woman in a daze like manner and didnât utter a peep.
Why does she hate men so much? Actually, the celestial fox herself doesnât know either. All she knows was that something inside kept insisting on the matter like someone did a horrible thing to her in the pastâ¦.
In the end the fox could only shake its head to fling off the murky sensation. Then as if that wasnât enough, she also pawed at Bai Yanâs sleeve with teary eyes to plead for help against the demon king still glaring daggers at herself.
âDonât worry Celestial Fox, he is my husband so he wonât hurt you. Anyways, I want to ask you something else first. Just now my son hid away my other two babies somewhere, do you know where they are?â
Apparently the fox did know because her eyes instantly lit up. Jumping down from Bai Yanâs arm, she ran a couple of steps forward and then didnât forget to turn around to beckon the woman to follow with a squeak.
Di Cang wouldnât stay behind in this case of course, but he did make sure to keep a little distance to avoid scaring the pesky fella again. Furthermore, he didnât trust the celestial fox one bit, or more exactly, heâs grumpy and sour at being left behind by his wife due to this fox.

Hidden deep within this Sky Mountain where snow was abundant, thereâs in fact a sacred area thatâs shielded off from the outside world.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As an alchemist and a fluent user of spell matrixes, Bai Yan was naturally able to notice this fact even from afar. Even so, she couldnât help but wonder who couldâve created such an amazing and complex barrier at the peak of this strange terrain.
No wonder humans have such trouble climbing this mountain, the original creator of this barrier is a master spell userâ¦.
