The Grumpy Daoist's Candied Fox - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

While sewing a pouch for Xie Ling’en, I was sprawled over the stone table in the courtyard and fell asleep, dreaming.

In the dream, everything was festive red, like a wedding hall.

Xie Ling’en and I stood side by side, about to bow to each other amid the master of ceremonies’ calls-

but Xie Ling’en drew his sword and stabbed me through.

I watched helplessly as “I” became a candied fox skewer.

And Xie Ling’en.

His killing intent was undisguised, cold and disgusted as he looked at me on the ground.

“Demon, die.”

Chapter 2

I didn’t wake up until the embroidery needle pricked my finger pad.

Even if it’s a case of what you think about during the day appears in your dreams, the plot can’t possibly go like this?

Besides, I’ve heard that foxes with strong Spiritual Intuition can see fragments of the future through dreams…

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. I wanted to send a message to my clan sisters immediately to ask how strong my Spiritual Intuition really is.

But just as I stood up, the main gate was pushed open.

Xie Ling’en had returned.

As soon as we met, the man’s gaze fell on my fingertip. After a moment, he frowned.

“If you’re not good at needlework, there’s no need to keep embroidering these for me.”

He had frowned the same way in my dream.

I stared at him blankly, my inner alarm bells ringing incessantly.

Seeing me silent, Xie Ling’en sighed and reached out his hand toward me.

“Forget it…”

The moment he lifted his hand, I instinctively stepped back three paces.

Xie Ling’en paused.

I didn’t dare provoke him at all now. I quickly put my hands behind my back and crumpled the pouch that had offended his eyes in my palm.

“No, no, no, I won’t do it again,” I inched away from him gradually, “I’ll never embroider these things again.”

With that, while Xie Ling’en hadn’t reacted, I dashed into the night and slipped back into my own room.

I ran very fast.

So I didn’t see Xie Ling’en’s action of suddenly freezing behind me.

Chapter 3

As you can see, I’m a newly adult Fox Demon.

Following the ancestral teachings, the Fox Demon Clan must come to the Mortal Realm to undergo a trial after reaching adulthood.

The content of the trial is to obtain someone’s true love by any means.

As the youngest child of this generation in the clan, my sisters gave me a lot of advice before I left the mountain.

Like providing help in times of need, like saving a gloomy youth, like being the white moonlight and not a substitute…

I said I would engrave them in my heart, but then after leaving the mountain, the first moment I saw Xie Ling’en, I forgot every word.

Xie Ling’en was neither in distress nor a gloomy youth being bullied.

But with his face that was unprecedented and unlikely to be seen again, he directly became my white moonlight.

I chose him as my trial target without a second thought, lied that I was an orphan whose family was destroyed, and clung to him.

In fact, apart from being cold, Xie Ling’en had no flaws as a trial target.

He was good-looking, handsome, with outstanding features, a feast for the eyes…

To give up on conquering him so easily, I really couldn’t bear it.

After hesitating again and again, I grabbed a brush, racked my brains, and wrote a letter for help to my sisters.

“First Sister, Second Sister… Eighteenth Sister, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. Your little sister recently dreamed by chance…”

But before I could send the letter, I received a secret missive from the Fox Clan.

The extremely urgent kind.
