【First Death】

Heimeng is five hundred years old this year.

As the only black little fox in Qingqiu fox fairy clan, it had an unhappy childhood.

All foxes are white.

So it was almost thrown out as a wolf cub when it was a child.

No one knows Heimeng's parents, it seems to appear in Qingqiu out of nowhere.

When it was five hundred years old, the elders of Qingqiu couldn't wait to drive it out of Qingqiu.

Then it dies.

A fox becomes an adult at the age of five hundred, and when he becomes an adult, a catastrophe falls, and if he survives it, he turns into a human.

If you can't stand it... you will die.

It's just that the fox clan of Qingqiu is born with nine tails, one tail is worth one life.

At the beginning, Elder Qingqiu wanted to deny Heimeng, but he couldn't rely on the fact that Heimeng also had Nine Tails.

So Heimeng lost a tail, lost 500 years of cultivation, and his spiritual consciousness is as ignorant as a young animal.

But it survived after all.

—This is the first time it died.

【Second Death】

Its second death came quickly.

As the only black fox in Qingqiu, not only the elders don't like it, but the little fox doesn't like it either.

When it lost its tail and was ignorant, the other little foxes in Qingqiu easily transformed into shapes in Qingqiu.

Then they came out and saw Heimeng.

"It's this dirty thing." A beautiful fox turned into a child frowned, "It's disgusting!"

Then he performed a trick, and Heimeng floated in the air.

There is no way to make it stretch its limbs, and its funny appearance makes the fox children laugh.

That child Shi Jue was born the prettiest——of the fox family, the stronger the magic power, the more beautiful the appearance.

He looked at Heimeng, smiled and said, "How can you deserve to stay here, a dirty thing like you?"

A person next to him said: "Ah Yan, why bother with it!"

Ah Yan smiled, she still looked like a child, and she could already see a bit of charm, "I just can't understand-"

With a wave of his hand, Heimeng threw a line and landed at the junction of Qingqiu's human world.

He yelled, "Hand slipped."

People nearby laughed tacitly.

Then they all dispersed.

So what if a fox without memory and magic power falls into the human world, even if he has nine lives?

What's more, Qingqiu's junction with the human world is in mid-air, so I'm afraid he's about to lose his life again?

When Heimeng fell into the human world, he was about to die.

The rain wets its fur, and its blood seeps into the ground.

In the last ignorant spirit, it faintly saw a white robe appearing not far away.

Then it died again.

— This is the second time it died.

【Third Death】

The little black fox curled up on the cushion.

Its fur looks extremely smooth, and it feels like flowing clouds in a trance.

It was there in a motionless mass, sleeping soundly.

I don't know how long it has been, or maybe only for a while.

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak.

A man in white came in.

Almost at the same time, the little fox's ears moved.

Then it opened its eyes.

The big eyes with watery light and ignorant expression look like fine black jade embedded in the fur.

Ambilight, very beautiful.

The man came over and met the little fox's eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

"You're awake." He said, "Yesterday you were almost stiff... Ha, little fox, can you understand me?"

The little fox pressed its front paws on the cushion, and looked at him with big eyes without blinking.

But she wasn't afraid of him at all.

The smile on the man's face couldn't help but deepened. He picked up the little fox and stroked its fur gently.

Then he laughed, "I'll give you a name, how about Ah Xuan?"

The little fox just stared at him blankly.

The man couldn't help but nodded its nose, "So dumb!"

The little fox felt a little itchy after being teased by him like this, and felt a little joy from the bottom of his heart.

It moved its ears.

It looked so cute.

The man laughed again, then turned around and went out with it in his arms.

The sun fell on its fur, warm.

The little fox lives very comfortably.

The man treats it very well, and it feels that if it has a previous life, or a previous life, no one can treat it so well.

He will gently stroke its fur, feed it delicious meat, and take it to beautiful places.

The man doesn't seem to treat it just like a little fox, sometimes he will say a lot to it, as if it really understands it.

"You are not afraid of me." One day the man said to it, "Before you, no living thing has ever dared to approach me."

The little fox tilted his head and stared blankly at him.

The man couldn't help laughing, "Ha, stupid Ah Xuan."

Then he put his hand on its fur, and said casually, "Maybe... it's because you're so stupid."

The little fox moved its ears and rubbed against the man's hand.

In fact, the little fox could not understand what the man said.

Although it can understand, it cannot understand the expression and tone of the man when he speaks.

It faintly felt that he had forgotten something.

...but also doesn't seem to matter much.

But these are not what it needs to care about, it is very good if it has a man.

Every day, play together, eat together, sleep together...

But how could the stupid little fox know that there has never been a "together" forever in this world.

Sometimes it is because of natural disasters, sometimes it is because of man-made disasters.

Sometimes, it's because of unequal lifespans.

The day of separation came so quickly.

Steep wind, steep cliff.

The man stood in white, with a mass of black fur in his arms.

His expression was always casual, and he stroked the black hairball in his arms one by one.

Opposite him were dozens of people holding weapons, all looking at him nervously.

The two sides stalemate for a long time.

In the end, the leader on the opposite side said: "Chu Yu, you still haven't repented until now!"

The man laughed, "Repent? How do you repent?"

A person next to him said: "What arrogance! You are just an abandoned son of the devil, even if you used to protect the law for the devil! Today you will pay the price for the killing karma you committed!"

The man's smile deepened, "Ha, I'm going to kill anyway, so what was the nonsense before? Do you want me to stretch my neck and beg you to chop it off?" He snorted, "Aren't you afraid of slippery hands?"

"You!" The person on the opposite side blushed immediately.

But he really didn't dare to go forward.

Most of the Devil's Cult's terrifying reputation is due to this protector.

I am afraid in my heart, so even if there are many of them, I dare not act rashly.

It was Chu Yu who moved first.

He patted the black hair ball in his arms, "Stupid Ah Xuan, get down quickly, I'm going to start a fight."

The hairball moved.

"Ha, you are so stupid, and you can't stay on my shoulder..." He threw the ball of hair far away, and it landed in a clump of trees.

Then he raised his hand to brace the sword that came suddenly.

The sword energy is released, no sword is better than a sword.

There was a clear sound, and the stainless steel cracked in response.

Chu Yu smiled casually, "This is the so-called righteous rivers and lakes."

Dozens of silver lights pierced towards him.

The little fox is so stupid.

It couldn't stand firmly on the man's shoulder, and it took a long time even to climb out of the bushes.

It's been so long that all the men's white clothes are dyed red.

It opened its eyes blankly, watching the man kick the last person out, and then pulled out the sword from the **** body.

The man turned his head to see it, and still smiled casually, "Stupid Ah Xuan, I didn't crawl out until now."

The little fox stood there dumbfounded.

The man sat down on the spot and waved to it, "Ah Xuan, come here, I have no strength left."

His face was pale, and his white clothes seemed to be redder.

The little fox ran over and stumbled on its four paws.

The man reached out and took it in his arms.

"Would it be pungent?" the man murmured, "There's a lot of blood, Ah Xuan."

The little fox anxiously pulled his clothes.

The man gently raised his hand to stroke its head.

"I'm going to die, Ah Xuan." He said slowly, "I'm going to die."

The little fox was stunned, and looked up at him blankly.

It actually doesn't know what "death" is, but following the man's words, this clumsy little fox actually feels... sour from the bottom of its heart.

The man looked at it tenderly, "Ah Xuan, don't cry."

But its black soft fur is a little bit darker.

It has never experienced this kind of feeling, the sourness is so indescribable, it seems that the more the fur gets wet, the more comfortable it becomes.

It was so concentrated that it didn't hear the faint cry of the beast at all.

The strong breath of blood quickly attracted beasts.

Eyes with green light gradually appeared around, but the wolves didn't dare to go forward, they just dragged their bodies away with extreme care, and those who got a little closer to Chu Yu would all blow their hair up nervously.

It is said that people with too much killing karma can fear even animals.

——All living creatures dare not approach him.

...Except, this stupid Ah Xuan.

Chu Yu thought.

"Are there really gods and monsters in this world..." Chu Yu murmured, "Ha, Ah Xuan, what do you think the place where the gods live...I have dreamed about a palace like white clouds, beautiful flowers ...I heard that monsters can become immortals, Ah Xuan, please be good, and tell me what it is when you become immortals..."

His voice lowered, "Stupid Ah Xuan...if there are gods and monsters, if there is an afterlife..."

"I want to see you again..."

——I want to see you again, stupid Ah Xuan, have you grown up a bit.

——If there is an afterlife...

He took a breath and closed his eyes completely.

Never opened again.

The little fox stared blankly at the man.

It watched the man close his eyes, as he had done so many days and nights before.

But at the bottom of its heart, it seemed that someone had dug out a piece.

It hurts like that.

It tentatively got close to the man's face and licked the man's face.

The man didn't respond.

His face was pale, and his arms gradually became cold.

Big drops of water rolled out of the little fox's eyes.

Wet its fur, and also wet the man's skirt.

When its spiritual consciousness was still ignorant, it suddenly understood what sadness was.

Also understood the meaning of death.

——The man in front of it will never open his eyes again.

Forever and ever, I will never open my eyes and smile at it again.

The little fox lay in the man's arms and cried for a long, long time.

At last it had no strength and fell asleep.

When the little fox woke up again, it was already broad daylight. It was lying on a cushion made of clothes, and a fat man with a bald head was looking at it. Seeing it woke up, he sighed, "Little fox, I'm late La."

The little fox ignored him, it looked around nervously.

— Where is Chu Yu?

Looking at its appearance with a bald head, he sighed again, "Little fox...you are probably the first one to get close to him like this." He stretched out his hand and turned the little fox away, "I buried your master there, Little Fox, that's all I can do."

The little fox stared blankly, only seeing a small mound of dirt with a wooden sign stuck on it.

The bald head sighed again: "I know he definitely doesn't want to stay here, it's a clothes tomb, I'll burn him and take him back to the temple, little fox, will you go with me?"

The little fox just looked at the wooden sign.

The bald man sighed again, "What is this for? A beast is more affectionate than a human...Chu Yu, your life is not in vain."

Then he reached out to catch the little fox.

The little fox had never been so agile before. It dodged from the bald man and ran directly to the wooden sign.

With a bald head and a wry smile, "I owe him a favor... Little fox, just follow me."

The little fox group was beside the wooden sign, motionless.

The bald head looked up at the sky and sighed, "Forget it, Chu Yu, even if you think about it, you, a fox, won't talk to me. What I owe you, I will pay it back in my next life."

Then he left some food for the little fox and left.

The bald head left food for the little fox, but he didn't care too much what would happen if the little fox finished eating.

One is that he is in a hurry to do things and has no time to spare.

The second is that he thought that even a domesticated fox would be able to find food by itself when it was hungry.

But he didn't expect the little fox to be so stupid.

It huddled beside Chu Yu's grave, motionless.

The rain dampened its fur, and the sun scorched it hot.

It also never drank water, never ate anything.

After a few days like this, it finally died.

— This is the third time it died.
