Towards noon, the fog gradually cleared in the silent forest.

In a slightly sparsely vegetated clearing in the dense forest, a little fox with a fiery red body and a little silver on its eyebrows was sleeping peacefully on the roots of a large tree.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the little fox's body rises and falls slowly, and its breathing is calm and even.

The little fox had a very striking birch bark wrap on her back, which was tightly tied to her body, and the wrap was half a foot longer than her small body.

After another half, the little fox's breathing began to accelerate, his nose twitched slightly, and his eyelids began to tremble, as if he was trying to open his eyes.

Suddenly, the little fox jumped up and ran wildly, as if being chased by something, and panicked, and ran around the clearing several times before stopping.

The little fox looked blankly at the surrounding environment with his worried eyes, and then looked up at the tall trees around him, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and then looked down at the ground that was close at hand, as if he was not sure what the situation was, stretched out his front paws and stepped on the ground.

"What?'s front paws?" the little fox woke up suddenly, and the man stood up, and the birch bark wrap behind him played a good supporting role, so that the little fox stood up on his hind legs alone.

The little fox raised his two front paws and put them in front of his eyes, moved his paws, and patted the palms of his claws again: "That's right, this is clearly a claw, not a hand!"

"What's the situation?" the little fox cried out in sorrow!

Of course, this is just the little fox's own inner monologue, and there happens to be a fat horned rabbit passing by.

The scene in its eyes is that a skinny red fox carrying a piece of birch bark on its back raises its paws and "chirps" at the sky, which is neither deterrent nor ritualistic.

The horned rabbit smiled contemptuously: "This poor red fox is not as strong as me, and I don't know when I will be able to open my mind, how can I cultivate in broad daylight, it's really stupid." ”

The horned rabbit stopped and decided to observe and study the strange little fox.

The little fox screamed a few times before he remembered that he had to figure out what race he was now.

The little fox tried to tilt his head sideways to see the whole picture of his body, but in the eyes of the horned rabbit, he turned into a stupid fox trying hard to bite his tail, desperately turning in circles on the ground.

"Sure enough, it's a fox who has not yet enlightened his wisdom and is stupid, and a demon cultivator like me who is in the wisdom stage completely disdains to bully such a stupid fox. The horned rabbit ran away happily and satisfied.

The little fox struggled to turn around a few times, and when he saw his fiery red fluffy back body and fluffy tail, he was basically sure that he was a fox, and sat on the ground and thought:

"What the hell happened? Why did I become a fox?

The little fox held his head and tried to recall, his head hurt at this moment, and the memories in his brain were also confused, and there were even many memories that did not belong to him.

I only vaguely remember that I was in the process of fleeing last night, and I was slammed in the back, and then I didn't go back, and as for why I was chased and killed before, I couldn't remember it for a while.

Thinking about it, the little fox suddenly felt a hint of urine, got up and ran behind a big tree, turned to the side of the tree, raised his right leg and began to release water.

"Rub, rub, rub, rub, why do you pee on your legs?" the little fox was halfway through his urine, only to feel a burst of warmth in his left hind leg, and hurriedly stopped, kicking his hind leg violently, trying to shake the urine out of his body, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition appeared in the little fox's mind!

"Why did you pee on your legs?

The little fox lifted one of its front paws with difficulty and slowly looked down at its crotch.

"Mother!" the little fox screamed in sorrow, and his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

Ah Li is a lucky fox.

Why is she lucky?

Since Pangu broke Hongmeng and Nuwa created all races, all living beings are equal, all things are born together, develop peacefully, and for a long, long time there is nothing to do with each other, and all races are slowly evolving in a natural way along the bloodline instinct of their respective races.

Among them, there are human races, which are not outstanding in size and physical strength, have no sharp teeth and claws, and have no sharp eyes and ears, and are not outstanding among the races at first, but they are slightly smarter than other races, and their fertility is stronger.

But the human race, after hibernation for hundreds of millions of years, suddenly emerged, with the help of the contradictions between other races, combined vertically and horizontally, divided and placed, and strongly occupied the three worlds of heaven, earth, and underworld, and ruled the reincarnation.

The rise of the human race allowed them to occupy a large amount of territory and cultivation resources in the Three Realms, and the other races were driven to the edge of the Three Realms with very few resources.

Since then, the human race has become more powerful, and the number of human cultivators has increased day by day, and the names of other races have been collectively called 'demon races'.

And the demon clan had to choose to lie dormant and survive with difficulty, and there were more people of insight in the demon clan who tried their courage and accumulated strength, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

In such a cruel environment, the demon clan who can become a demon cultivator is lucky.

Ah Li is unfortunate again.

The Red Fox Clan, to which Ah Li belongs, is the largest branch of the Fox Clan.

The Red Fox Clan and the Silver Fox Clan, the Black Fox Clan, the North Sea Fox Clan, and the Desert Fox Clan are called the five major fox clans.

The strong population did not give the Red Fox Clan much of a strength advantage, because the Red Fox Clan's spirituality was the lowest among the five major fox clans, and it was precisely because of the lack of spirituality that the number of Red Foxes who could really embark on the path of cultivation was very small.

The monks of the Red Fox Clan who can become the Demon Pill Stage and the Golden Pill Stage are even rarer, so that the senior monks of the Red Fox Clan are far inferior to the other four-veined fox clans.

The first ten years of Ah Li's life were just an ordinary red fox, Ah Li had never seen his father, and his mother only had a very vague impression.

Later, I heard from the tribesmen who knew that no one knew who her father was, and her mother was the pride of their clan, and she was the first red fox in the thousand-year-old history of this red fox group to successfully form a red fox.

It's a pity that not long after Ah Li was born, her mother was taken captive by powerful Terran monks, and most of them are no longer in the world.

When Ah Li was less than six months old, he suffered the same fate as his mother.

Because the fox group of the group was defeated in the battle for habitat with other beasts, it had to move to live near the human city.

In the end, he did not escape the fate of being hunted by the Terran warriors, and more than 70 foxes were killed, and only Ah Li was spared.

The purpose of this hunt was not for the demon crystal and the fur of the red fox, but because the daughter of the castle guard wanted a red fox as a pet, and Ah Li's petite body and cute appearance saved her life.

In fact, when he was caught by the Terran warriors, Ah Li had already opened his spiritual wisdom, and his mother's powerful bloodline made it directly have the cultivation of the Gathering Spirit Period when it was born, and then naturally broke through to the Wisdom Period.

Ah Li, who is in the Tongzhi period, has an aura of her own, and she is petite and cute, so after the Terran warrior killed all the other foxes, she was left alone to dedicate to the daughter of the city lord.

When Ah Li saw the young lady for the first time, he had a feeling: "What a beautiful Terran girl! ”

That year, the young lady was six years old, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright, and she was slightly shorter than girls of the same age because she was frail and sickly since she was a child.

When Ah Li was carried in by the maid, the young lady leaned on the embroidered couch and looked out the window in a quiet daze.

"Ah, what a beautiful little fox!" the young lady jumped down from the embroidered couch excitedly, took Ah Li from the maid's hand, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

Ah Li, who had just experienced the slaughter of his relatives and friends, was frightened all the way, trembling in the arms of his young lady.

The young lady hugged Ah Li lovingly, gently stroked its little head and the back of its neck, Ah Li felt the security and warmth that he had never felt before, and began to become extremely sleepy, and fell asleep quickly.

The young lady couldn't bear to disturb her, and kept holding her, refusing to let go for a long time.

The next few years of life is happy, the young lady has a quiet personality, does not like to move, most of the time hides in the house to read, the only reason to go out of the room, is to take Ah Li out to breathe.

Ah Li loves the young lady very much, because the young lady can give her family-like care and warmth, and the young lady also gave Ah Li a name called 'Ahri', the fox's 'raccoon'.

Ahri is Ahri, he is originally a fox, the young lady can be called whatever she wants, Ahri just wants to accompany the young lady for the rest of her life, and live simply and happily.

A good and happy life is always used to break! I don't know who said this sentence?

In the winter when the young lady was twelve years old, she contracted a serious illness, which did not begin to improve until April of the following year, and since then she has a cough, sometimes coughing so badly that she will even faint.

Ahri saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but as a fox clan monk who was only in the wisdom period, his ability was not even as good as that of ordinary human warriors, how could he not help the young lady.

The little sister, like Ah Li, lost her mother at a very young age, and in order to have someone to take care of her daughter, the loving father married the wife of the young lady shortly after the death of her mother.

The second lady was not bad to the young lady at first, but after the second lady gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another, she became a lot colder to the young lady.

It's just that the second lady is relatively deep in the city, and she always pretends to be a mother in front of the city lord, and the young lady only responds politely.

One day, the young lady took Ahri to say goodbye to her father who had just returned from a business trip, and when she walked outside her father's courtyard, she heard the sharp voice of the second lady:

"Zhong Liang, my father recommended you to Changxin Marquis in the hope that you will have a greater future in the future, instead of stopping at a small city guard for life.

In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to show favor to Changxinhou, but this time Changxinhou took the initiative to propose to our family Lingxiu for his fourth son, but you actually refused! Are you having a bad brain?"

The young lady (Zhong Lingxiu) couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Ahri didn't understand what the second lady was arguing about, and felt that the young lady was uncomfortable, so she squeezed into the young lady's arms, the young lady may be wearing less, and Ah Li wanted to give the young lady more warmth.

The city lord said in a deep voice: "But the fourth son of the Marquis of Changxin was born lame and scarred, and his character is extremely inferior, he is just fifteen years old, and he doesn't know how many women from good families have been ruined in Jingshi!

"The fourth prince may not have been worthy of Lingxiu before, but Lingxiu fell ill with tuberculosis last winter, how could a good family marry her?

Why not allow the four sons of Changxinhou, that is, to save the face of Changxinhou, and help Lingxiu to heal his illness.

With the power of the Changxin Marquis Mansion, maybe you can invite a famous doctor to cure Lingxiu's tuberculosis. ”

"Bang~!" The sound of the palm hitting the coffee table sounded: "Wanjun, you are Lingxiu's second mother, can you just not tolerate her like this?" Is Changxinhou's face important, or is my daughter's happiness important?

The young lady stood outside the wall for a long time with Ahri in her arms, sighed softly and turned away.

From then on, the young lady was even more silent, depressed, and easily stopped leaving her own courtyard.

The marriage proposal did not expand, it quickly subsided, and in the end, there was no news about the young lady's marriage.

Three years later, Lingxiu was already fifteen years old, and the city lord Zhong had been in the city director for ten years, and he was excellent in the two imperial court merit examinations.

However, the lord of the city was still the lord of the city, and he was not promoted because of his excellent results in the merit examination, nor was he transferred to other better cities according to the usual practice, and the lord of the city seemed to have been forgotten by the imperial court.

Lingxiu was even more beautiful at this time, but her body was getting worse and worse, coughing every day, and sometimes coughing up blood.

Ahri can even see a faint death aura in the little sister's body, not only the dead qi emanating from the body, but also the young lady's heart, which has died three years ago.

Ahri really wants to help the little sister, for ten years, the young lady has been taking good care of Ah Li, telling her about the subset of scriptures and history, poetry and songs, talented and beautiful women, showing her the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and completely treating her as a sister, but Ahri has not been able to do anything for her except to accompany her.

Although Ahri can't speak, Ahri is a fox who knows how to be grateful, and Ahri really wants to repay the young lady.

What should come will always come, and the young lady did not survive the winter of fifteen, and after coughing up blood for seven days in a row, the young lady closed her eyes forever.

Ahri was the first to notice that the young lady was gone, and she gently touched the young lady's pale, cold face with her trembling little nose.

The young lady who had given her so much warmth was gone, and Ahri had big tears in her eyes and let out a low whimper.

She curled herself up and squeezed under the young lady's arm, covering her head with a thick tail, and there was no trace of warmth on the young lady's body, let Ah Li share some warmth from you at this moment.

The city lord suddenly aged a lot, and sat haggard in front of the little sister's bed, looking at his daughter who seemed to be just sleeping, whispering the names of the young lady and the young lady's biological mother, and refused to leave for a long time.

The second lady also came, and when she saw her husband's lost soul, she didn't feel angry: "I asked you to send her to the Changxin Marquis Mansion earlier, maybe there is still salvation, what's the use of crying now?"

The city lord Huo Ran got up and glared at the second lady angrily, as if he wanted to eat her raw.

The second lady and the city lord stared at each other for a long time, and finally didn't dare to tear their faces, and lowered their heads to avoid her husband's cannibalistic eyes, but at a glance they saw Ahri curled up beside the young lady, and they couldn't help but be evil:

"Are all the people dead? Don't you see that the pickled fox is still lying next to the eldest lady? A fox has been raised for ten years, and he has not grown much yet. The eldest lady's body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, but it is getting more and more oily and slippery, it must be it that sucks away my daughter's yang life, come to someone, kill it for me!"

"Yes, yes......" The servants outside the door noisily swarmed in, and scrambled to Ahri, showing their humble loyalty as best they could.

Ahri glared at the second lady in disgust, jumped left and right in the crowd a few times, and soon escaped from the house, and when he reached the courtyard, he jumped on the wall again, stood on the top of the wall, looked up to the sky and whined a few times, jumped off the wall and left.

The city lord's profound martial arts did not stop Ahri, but just coldly watched the wonderful performance of the lord's loyal servants.
