The Enchanting Phantom (Puls Version)
墨書 Inktalez
My name is Liuli, and I have cultivated for six hundred years, becoming a spirit fox, commonly known as a Fox Demon.
I live on Mount Shu with a large group of my fox kin, and we have been here for six hundred years.
Yes, Mount Shu, the legendary mountain of immortals.
For some unknown reason, the mountain has developed its own unique path to immortality. Over the centuries, many heroes and sword immortals have emerged from here, capturing ghosts and slaying demons to uphold justice.
And we, the Fox Demons, have established our lair right under the noses of these immortal practitioners.
I have always been timid, afraid of being captured by the practitioners. I never dared to harm anyone, not even stealing a chicken from the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
As a result, I have been ridiculed by my kin and labeled as "the fox who lacks the strength to catch a chicken."
This is truly a great humiliation!
But I endure!
Reputation is indeed valuable, but my life is even more important!
Looking at the ribbon tied around my right wrist, I secretly lamented: fortunately, they do not know that I once accidentally saved a person; otherwise, I would surely be mocked even more!
However, that day turned out to be my downfall!
That day, I transformed into human form with two sisters to visit the village below. As a Fox Demon with an alluring face and enchanting eyes, even standing casually would naturally captivate a crowd of men.
I weakly raised my hand to my forehead, shaking my head slightly as I distanced myself from them, allowing them to be surrounded by a group of men, who were showering them with attention.
I knew that their ultimate goal in seducing men was to absorb their essence to enhance their own cultivation.
However, I lacked the courage to engage in such harmful deeds under the watchful eyes of the Taoist priests. Instead, I chose to diligently practice on my own, finding stability in that.
As I covered my face and stepped back cautiously, I unexpectedly bumped into something behind me and stepped on something at the same time. I heard a startled "Ouch!" and quickly turned around.
Before me stood a man dressed in a traditional robe, handsome and exuding a gentle, refined aura. Compared to those other men, he was truly exceptional.
Seeing him bend down to tend to his foot, I couldn't help but feel a cold sweat trickle down my forehead.
It seemed that I had just stepped on his foot.
"I'm sorry—"
I was about to apologize when he straightened up, brushed off his sleeves, and politely bowed to me. "My apologies, miss. It was my fault for not watching where I was going and bumping into you. I hope you can forgive me."
Every movement he made flowed gracefully, like water, carrying a subtle scholarly air with it.
Ah… so he is a scholar.
Yet, when our eyes met, and I caught sight of his dark eyes that shone like black jade, I found myself momentarily stunned.
Those eyes looked so familiar; it felt as if I had seen them many years ago.
"Where is it? I can't remember..."
As I spoke, the scholar who had addressed me caught the attention of the two sisters, and their eyes lit up as they hurried over.
They threw flirtatious glances at the scholar, leaning slightly forward, and asked sweetly, "Young master, may I ask your name?"
However, the scholar seemed oblivious to them, his gaze fixed on me as I kept my head down in silence. He gently said, "Miss, did you hurt yourself just now? Would you allow me to accompany you to see a doctor?"
I looked up in surprise, my eyes widening slightly. Seeing the warmth and concern on his face, I quickly sensed two hostile glares directed at me from the sisters.
Great, I was being openly scorned by them.
To prevent any further escalation of their animosity, I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm fine."
Yet the scholar persisted, "But I can see that you're not looking well. May I ask where you live? Let me escort you home to rest."
I thought to myself that living in the Fox Cave on the mountain meant if he took me back, he might not make it back himself.
"No need, no need! I'll go back by myself."
Fearing he would continue to press the issue, I quickly grabbed the two sisters and rushed away.
