One day, Leng Xiao looked at the gold and silver that madam Hu had presented, and he was almost overwhelmed with excitement.
When he turned back to confirm that she wouldn’t go back on her word, he unexpectedly saw her transform back into her fox form.
Even knowing she was a spirit, what did it matter? She could satisfy his desires for wealth and power.
madam Hu smiled seductively and asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Leng Xiao didn’t answer; instead, he kissed her directly and said, “You help me earn wealth and grant me power and status, all while being so charming. Why should I be afraid?”
madam Hu chuckled softly, her tone laden with meaning as she replied, “If you want me, there will be a price to pay.”
A flicker of unease crossed Leng Xiao’s face but quickly vanished. His greed for wealth ultimately triumphed over the fear in his heart. He declared, “Whatever you want, take it.”
From that moment on, Leng Xiao’s business flourished, and his residence became increasingly luxurious. Even the officials treated him with respect.
The people of Feng Po Town spread tales of how Leng Xiao had married a good wife who brought fortune to his family.
This praised good wife was madam Hu, not Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan lived in a dilapidated courtyard, listening to the Old Woman incessantly mumbling praises about madam Hu, which Ling Yuan chose to ignore.
The Old Woman had been sent by madam Hu under the guise of caring for her but was actually there to keep an eye on her, making Ling Yuan feel quite uncomfortable.
One day, Ling Yuan went to the temple to pray and draw lots. However, every lot she drew turned out to be an ominous sign of great misfortune.
Ling Yuan suddenly became flustered, hurriedly wanting to return.
The Old Woman beside her chattered incessantly, complaining, "I heard that there are monsters running rampant in the city, causing harm to many people. Coming out at a time like this, aren't you just adding to the chaos?"
"Monsters?" Ling Yuan's heart tightened.
"Oh, right, I heard that the one in your belly is also a spawn of a monster. No wonder you're not afraid... Huh? What's wrong with you?"
Just as the Old Woman was about to continue her taunts, she noticed Ling Yuan's face change dramatically. Ling Yuan clutched her belly with both hands and squatted down in pain.
"My child... my child is about to be born!" Ling Yuan cried out in agony.
It turned out that after being startled, Ling Yuan had gone through a whole day and night of turmoil before finally giving birth to a pair of Twin Babies.
After the Old Woman cleaned the children up, madam Hu happened to arrive.
In the cramped room, a heavy scent of blood lingered. madam Hu approached the weak Ling Yuan's bedside while cradling the babies.
"Your children are truly beautiful. Do you think if Mister saw them, he would have a change of heart and take you back?" madam Hu said with a half-smile.
"You..." Ling Yuan's eyes widened in shock. Summoning all her strength, she trembled as she pointed at madam Hu and angrily shouted, "You monster!"
She finally remembered that on Wu Cang Mountain that day, when she nearly fell off the cliff, it was madam Hu who had saved her.
If it weren't for the protective jade pendant she had worn since childhood, she would have likely fallen victim to her poison long ago.
"Have you remembered?" madam Hu's face twisted into a cruel expression as she coldly said, "Do you know why I've been pestering you? Because your Linglong Heart is a great treasure to me, yet I could never get close to you... I originally thought that if you died, I could obtain your heart, but now that's unnecessary. You should thank your two fine sons for being born..."
Ling Yuan felt an unprecedented fear surge within her. She widened her eyes and shouted, "Let them go!"
madam Hu slowly extended her hand towards the infant's chest, but her expression suddenly froze. She jerked her head up, glaring fiercely at Ling Yuan and demanding, "No! Why don't they have Linglong Hearts?!"
Seeing that the children were temporarily safe, the tension in Ling Yuan's body relaxed in an instant. Exhausted, she felt darkness closing in and fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yuan was jolted awake by a piercing scream. Blinking in confusion, she opened her eyes to see a group of fierce-looking villagers standing inside the door. They pointed at her and shouted, "You demon! What excuses do you have now?"
Ling Yuan was bewildered and turned to look at the head of the bed. The sight nearly caused her to faint again.
The child who had been lying in the cradle was gone, replaced by a blood-soaked Young Fox.
"This woman must have been defiled by a demon! That's why she gave birth to this abomination!" someone shouted loudly.
"We can't let her stay here any longer!" the crowd echoed.
Ling Yuan frantically jumped out of bed, pushing through the crowd without a second thought as she rushed outside, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Give me back my child!"
