The rolling mountains embedded in the horizon reflected the golden light of the setting sun, making it look exceptionally magnificent, like a beautiful picture.
However, in such a beautiful environment, there was a very discordant sound.
Stinky old man, you snatched my drumstick again. Give it back to me!
Hehe, no. If you have the ability, come and snatch it!
The young man's name was Chen Nan. He was an orphan and had relied on his master since he was young.
Ever since I was born, I was accompanied by many unknowns. I was weak and sickly since I was young, so I grew up soaking in "medicine jars".
Later on, I found out that I was plotted against in my mother's womb. I shouldn't have been born in this world. It was my master who forcefully saved me from my mother's coffin.
It wasn't easy for me to reach the age of eighteen, and I was finally admitted to a key university in the city. Master was relieved. He said that he had finally survived the first calamity in his life.
At that time, I was still a little ignorant. Naturally, I didn't understand what Master's so-called "first tribulation" meant to me.
I only remember that on the night of my birthday, Master was very happy. He made an exception and drank a lot of wine until he was completely drunk. Even when I woke up the next day, the sound of snoring still came from his room from time to time.
I didn't wake my master up. Instead, I took the opportunity to steal his hunting rifle and quietly went up the mountain alone.
As the old saying went, one had to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and rely on the water to eat the water.
For the past eighteen years, my master and I have been living in the mountains. Our daily meals, including my tuition fees, are basically obtained from hunting.
Although I have been weak and sickly since I was young, I was born with excellent eyesight, which is why my spear skills are very good. It's just that my master never lets me go up the mountain alone. Since he's still drunk from last night, it's a good opportunity for me to satisfy my gun addiction.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not favor him.
Just as I climbed halfway up the mountain, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I cursed in my heart,"unlucky", and had no choice but to find a cave to shelter from the rain.
As soon as I entered the cave, I saw a pair of green eyes. I was shocked and quickly picked up the shotgun in my hand.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a snow-white little fox. Its head was only about the size of a fist, and it was extremely cute. Her entire body was wet, and she was currently looking at me with a pitiful expression. Her eyes revealed a trace of a pleading expression.
"So it's a little fox?"
I let my guard down and reached out to touch the little fox's head. I smiled and said,"Little guy, you came here to take shelter from the rain, right?”
"Chirp-"
However, before I could touch its head, the little fox suddenly let out a sharp cry! It suddenly burst out and stretched out a furry claw. It scratched a long bloody line on my arm!
Not only that, it even licked the blood on its paws in an intoxicated manner, looking like it was enjoying itself.
"F * ck!"
I didn't expect the little fox to be so fierce. I was furious. How could I still remember Master's instructions?
He raised the muzzle of his gun and pulled the trigger.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream almost pierced my eardrums. I couldn't help but feel dizzy.
What was even more surprising was that the little fox's cry was exactly the same as a human woman's. It almost made me mistakenly think that the person I hit was not a fox, but a living person!
The little fox looked at me with hatred. Before I could react, it suddenly jumped back and disappeared into the vast rain.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the red blood on the ground, I suddenly regretted it. I thought to myself, wasn't my reaction a little too extreme?
Ever since I could remember, my master told me that foxes are actually very intelligent. Their intelligence is not inferior to humans.
Therefore, when he was hunting in the past, even if his master encountered foxes, he would never hunt them.
On the contrary, many times, if he encountered injured foxes, he would even patiently bandage them and then set them free.
Perhaps it was because of Master's influence, I had always had a good impression of foxes. Now that I had suddenly hurt a little fox, I naturally felt very uncomfortable.
He even lost interest in hunting in the mountains. When the rain slowed down, he carried the shotgun home.
Fortunately, my master was still unconscious, so I carefully put the shotgun back to its original place and quickly started a fire to cook.
Even though I had already carefully covered up my wound, when I was having lunch, Master still noticed something amiss. He couldn't help but frown and say,"Are you hurt?"
Without waiting for my reply, he forcefully pulled my sleeve away. His expression changed drastically."This…this was injured by a fox?”
"I…"
Seeing that the matter was exposed, how could I dare to hide it? At the same time, I obediently admitted my mistake and quickly told Master everything that happened in the morning.
"This is bad!"
After listening to my explanation, Master's expression became even more unpleasant. Strangely, he didn't reprimand me too much. Instead, he muttered in a low voice,"I knew it. How could the legendary Nine Sons Consecutive Tribulation be passed so easily?”
"So the first tribulation is actually due to this?”
As soon as he finished speaking, before I could react, Master had already left in a hurry!
"Master!"
I only called out to him subconsciously when he was far away. Then, I heard him say with a serious expression,"Wait for me to come back! If I'm not back by nightfall, remember to lock the doors and windows!”
"No matter what you hear, pretend that nothing happened. Remember not to open the door!”
After saying that, he went into the mountain without looking back. Very quickly, he completely disappeared from my field of vision.
"Ah?"
I was shocked by Master's reaction. At the same time, I was a little confused. I thought to myself, Wasn't it just a scratch from the little fox?
Even if I've been weak and sickly since I was young, this small wound shouldn't have caused such a big reaction from Master, right?
I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I thought about it, but there was nothing I could do. I could only patiently wait for my master to return.
However, I waited at home for an entire afternoon. Even until evening, Master still did not appear.
Only then did I feel a little anxious. For some reason, my heart inexplicably became a little irritable and I kept feeling uneasy.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark and Master still hadn't returned, I could only follow Master's instructions and quickly lock the doors and windows.
"Stomp…"
"Stomp…"
Almost at the same time I locked the door and windows, I suddenly heard a series of messy footsteps outside the courtyard. I was delighted. I thought my master had returned.
Just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. Because at this moment, there was another hurried knock on the door.
"No!"
This is definitely not my master!
If my master came back, he would definitely choose to come in directly. Why would he knock on the door?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously gave up on the idea of opening the door. I went straight to the window and peeked out through the gap in the wooden window.
The sky had already darkened completely. It was pitch-black outside, and ordinary people could not see anything clearly.
I was born with excellent eyesight. When I was very young, I discovered that I could see at night.
Master said that I have the ability to "see through the earth", a skill that I brought out from my mother's womb. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. But in short, I could still clearly see the situation outside.
When I took a closer look, I couldn't help but be shocked!
He was shocked to find that the person who knocked on the door was not a human at all. Instead, it was a green-eyed fox with a fiery red body and a human-shaped strange face!
Its furry claws were placed on the wall of the courtyard, which wasn't very high. At this moment, it was pounding on the courtyard door.
Not only that, in the darkness behind it, more than ten pairs of green eyes looked at me in unison.
"Oh my god!"
Even though I've been through a lot since I was young and have been used to all kinds of strange things, I'm still quite frightened at this moment! She scrambled back to her bed and quickly covered her head with the blanket like an ostrich.
Master had said more than once that as long as you couldn't see something, you could pretend that it didn't exist. It sounded a little self-deceiving, but I firmly believed it.
"Bang! Bang!"
In the following time, the Viridescent Fox continued to bang on the door. Seeing that no one answered, it seemed to have lost its patience. At the top of his voice, he shouted into the door,"Roar!"
It was like a chain reaction!
In an instant, the strange cries of foxes rang out one after another in the surroundings of the courtyard. The sound was very ear-piercing and continuous. At least a hundred foxes were calling out at the same time.
My scalp went numb. I felt as if the voice was already close at hand. I didn't dare to look back at all, afraid that they had already appeared behind me.
Fortunately, the strange cries of the foxes didn't seem to last long. They quickly stopped. I even vaguely heard a few intense sounds of fighting.
"Eh?"
Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard a creak and the door was pushed open!
I was shocked and subconsciously turned around. I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in my heart. I couldn't help but cry out in surprise,"Master!"
Thank God, Master has finally returned safely. What worries me is that his body is actually covered in blood! Looking at his hand, he was holding a little fox that was also covered in blood.
Looking carefully, isn't it the little fox that I injured in the cave this morning?
This is strange. Master went through so much trouble just to go to the mountains and capture this little fox that I injured?
Just as I was feeling bewildered, Master threw the little fox in front of me and said with a serious expression,"From today onwards, she is your wife. You will have your wedding night!”
