『Adorable Little Fox』
The youngest demon hunter of the Qingyun Sect, he gained fame in his youth. His sword was swift, his heart cold, and he never entangled himself with demons. That was until a late spring night, when he encountered a noisy little fox demon outside a ruined temple. With meager cultivation yet audacious daring, the demon was driven away by him for three years, smiled at him for three years, and spent three years saying, "I like you." He was annoyed by him and avoided him, until his back was wounded, and that fluffy warmth pressed against his injury, murmuring that he could share half of his demon core—only then did he finally admit that his heart had long been moved. Yet on the morning right after he uttered "I like you too," his senior martial brother's sword pierced the fox demon's chest from behind. Holding the slowly chilling fox, he watched those two small, bloodstained fangs curl up into a smile for the last time as the creature said to him, "In the next life, I'll come find you again." Three years of entanglement; the affection he could never bring himself to voice finally culminated in a bitter "that's enough." And for the rest of his life, he never learned the name of the fox who had loved him for three years.
