After returning home, the two sisters began to exchange barbs, their words laced with sarcasm.
"Look, look, our Liuli has finally learned to attract men."
Attract? I hadn't thrown a single flirtatious glance or bared even a shoulder like they had.
"Indeed, it takes skill to attract, but she still lacks the courage to act. After six hundred years of cultivation, she has never tasted meat. It's truly embarrassing for our Fox Clan."
Not eating meat is shameful? But what about being killed by a swordsman after eating meat? Wouldn't that be even more disgraceful?
I thought their sharp remarks stemmed mainly from being ignored by that scholar.
Every time we went out, they were always the center of attention, drawing countless men in their wake.
This time, however, I was the one who caught the eye of a scholar—one who was rather good-looking at that—and how could they not feel envious?
In the end, it was all the scholar's fault!
"Ah, thankfully her parents died early. Otherwise, if they saw their daughter being so unambitious, they would be too ashamed to show their faces..."
Wait! They could talk about me all they wanted, but why drag my parents into this?
There are limits to what one can endure!
When a dog is cornered, it will jump over the wall; when a fox is pushed to its limits, it might even resort to eating people!
I am a vivid example of this.
"Isn't it just about indulging? What's the big deal? I'll go find someone and absorb their essence to show you!"
Finally, I exploded in silence, fists clenched, my face set with determination.
"Oh dear! Is that really what the Liuli Society has to say? Are you truly going to indulge? Don't just boast here!"
The scornful taunts provoked me further. I pounded my chest and vowed, "What I say, I will do! I'm heading down the mountain right now; you all wait here!"
With that, I charged down the mountain in a fervor.
Upon reaching the Foot of the Mountain, I took a moment to breathe in the mountain breeze. My head quickly cooled down, and once I regained my composure, regret began to seep in.
However, words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back. Otherwise, I would have no standing or face left among the other foxes.
As night fell, I wandered back and forth at the Foot of the Mountain, hesitating for quite some time. Finally, gritting my teeth, I headed toward the area with Human Habitation.
After surveying several households, none of the men caught my eye; I felt no desire to indulge at all.
Until I spotted a small courtyard. Through the window, I could faintly see a clear figure engrossed in a book. The flickering warm light cast his shadow on the wall, swaying gently with the wind.
Ah! He... he is the same Nerd I ran into during the day!
What a twist of fate!
It seems destined that this culprit has stumbled right into my hands.
I approached the door, raised my hand, fingers slightly curled, and gently knocked a few times.
The scholar heard the sound, got up to open the door, and upon seeing me, paused for a moment, seemingly recognizing me. His eyes narrowed slightly: "You are the young lady I met during the day? What brings you here at this late hour?"
I immediately clutched my thigh, furrowing my brows, and then began to cry softly: "Sir, I encountered some ruffians on my way home with my two sisters. They captured my sisters, and I barely managed to escape. With nowhere to go, I ended up here. I didn't expect to run into you; I hope you can kindly take me in."
The scholar squinted at me, a glimmer passing through his eyes.
For some reason, under his gaze, I felt a chill run down my spine, and an uneasy sensation crept into my heart, causing my body to tremble slightly.
However, in the next moment, he spoke gently to comfort me: "Do not cry any longer, young lady. If you don't mind, please come to my humble abode and rest for the night. Tomorrow, I will think of a way to help you."
Hmm, no wonder my sisters always liked to target scholars; Nerd is indeed easy to deceive!
