Chapter 217: The Nine-Tailed Fox's Little Spirit is a Master of Praise (21)

Song Chuyi listened quietly as the fox father told his story.

After the birth of Fox Jiutian, the fox mother actually wanted to take him home to raise.

But due to the circumstances at the time, they could only temporarily build a small house in the bamboo grove where he was born.

The fox father had to go to work every day, and the fox mother, weakened from childbirth, couldn't pay much attention to Fox Jiutian.

The newborn nine-tailed fox stumbled out and caught a little rabbit.

He didn't eat it; instead, he played with the little rabbit every day.

The fox mother was quite pleased, thinking her son had made a friend with the little rabbit.

Perhaps this friendship would help him transform into human form sooner.

After all, friendship is one of the beautiful emotions of humans.

But they were wrong.

Half a month later, seeing Fox Jiutian and the little rabbit becoming closer, they were almost ready to celebrate their son's transformation into human form.

But on that day, when they returned from outside, they saw blood all over the ground.

The little nine-tailed fox had cruelly torn open the rabbit's body with his sharp claws, his beautiful red eyes, like glass, filled with disdain and coldness toward life.

At that moment, the fox parents felt a chill run through their entire bodies.

Maybe it was because he had been in human form for too long, or maybe because he had lived in human society for too long.

At that time, Hu's parents couldn't accept how cruel their son had become, and they realized it would be a long journey before he could fully transform into a human.

It just so happened that Hu's mother had the power to see into the future.

But she could only use it once in her lifetime.

That day, she used her premonition powers and received an answer.

Hu Jiutian would not transform into a human; he would become a demon.

They were scared and left quickly, and as they left, they could feel the cold gaze of their son's blood-red eyes on them.

Talking about this past event, Hu's mother was visibly upset.

Hu's father, staying calmer, held his wife and whispered some comforting words.

Song Chuyi picked up his latte and took a sip.

A bit bland, he said, setting the cup down. "What are you trying to tell me?"

Hu's mother hesitated, then said, "Jiutian has made many friends."

"All his friends turned human, but he didn't."

Song Chuyi gently nodded, "Yes."

"He thought they were good friends, but he didn’t really get what friendship meant."

"Oh, sometimes when he's super hungry, he might even consider eating his best friends."

"Maybe, just like the little rabbit back then, they can be companions or food."

A rare look of confusion crossed Mother Fox's face.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Song Chuyi was amused by the question.

"Nope, not scared at all."

"Tiantian is really adorable."

Father Fox and Mother Fox both looked terrified at the same time.

Song Chuyi pushed the coffee cup in front of him and smiled.

"I know exactly what you're getting at."

He tilted his head slightly, gazing at his reflection in the glass. A faint smile passed through his eyes.

"I know he is cold and ruthless, that he can be unscrupulous to achieve his goals."

"I also know he is not as honest and obedient as he appears, that his heart is filled with dirty and evil thoughts."

"But I love him."

A gentle warmth rose in his eyes.

"Human emotions are strange, aren't they?"

"Even if you know someone is despicable and detestable, maybe even unbearable, once love kicks in, none of that matters anymore."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but facepalm.

"Oops, looks like I’ve gone full-on lovesick."

Mother Fox’s heart raced with suspicion, her voice trembling as she spoke.

"He harbors evil thoughts; he might kill you."

"No, maybe us."

"Using some tricks, he could kill us."

Mother Fox was well aware of her son's malice toward her and her husband, which was why they had hurriedly left when they found out Hu Jiutian was about to take over the Nine-Tailed Fox Group in his human form.

Song Chuyi let out a soft sigh.

"If you're worried that he might use some tricks to kill you, there's really no need."

Hu Mu: "Why? Are you that confident?"

"Not really," Song Chuyi chuckled, "because when he kills you, he doesn’t need any tricks."

"Look, you still haven't realized that this place is an illusion created by him."

Father Fox and Mother Fox were both shocked; by the time they realized it, their bodies were already frozen in place.

They could only watch as Hu Jiutian stepped out from the void.

"A'Chu." Hu Jiutian's voice carried a hint of grievance, "When did you find out?"

Song Chuyi pointed at the latte, "It's a bit too light, make it stronger next time."

Hu Jiutian responded with an "Oh," and walked over to Song Chuyi, pulling him into his arms and making him sit.

"A'Chu is not being good." He nipped at Song Chuyi's earlobe, "Didn't I say you were supposed to rest at home today?"

"That was the plan." Song Chuyi spread his hands, "But Uncle and Auntie invited me for coffee."

"I just came out to have a chat with them."

Hu Jiutian didn't look at the two.

He did hate them and could indeed kill them with just a thought.

But A'Chu would be unhappy, and he wouldn't like that.

He didn't want to see A'Chu unhappy.

"I'll take you home." He said, about to get up, but Song Chuyi pushed him back down.

Song Chuyi wrapped an arm around his neck, "I haven't taught you how to reach the pinnacle of love."

"Today is a good day for a lesson."

Hu Jiutian's Adam's apple bobbed as he responded with a soft "Okay."

Though the fox parents couldn't move, they could still witness the young man kiss Hu Jiutian's lips.

No, it wasn't just that.

He was truly teaching the demon from the prophecy how to love, seriously.

Not just physical touch, but a kind of love that was intimate and tender, where their souls were melding together.

For a moment, Hu Jiutian's cold, wild, and ferocious red eyes showed a hint of desire.

They were filled with possessiveness and control, yet also incredibly tender and intimate.

The beastly nature of the demons and the human emotions contradicted yet harmonized in the demon from the prophecy.

He was still cruel and terrifying, even hating this unfair world.

He was a vicious hound who should have been rampaging through the world, causing chaos.

But now, the vicious hound had willingly lowered his head to put on the leash of love, willingly surrendering to being captivated and teased by the young man.

Hu Jiutian, unwilling to let outsiders see A'Chu's beauty, carried Song Chuyi into the void just as the lesson was about to proceed to the next step.

The last thing Hu's mother saw was the young man peeking out from Hu Jiutian's arms, putting a finger to his lips, gesturing for silence.

Look, he had taken the bad dog home.

So, don't be afraid.

But also, don't disturb.
