Chapter 17

Did the flirtatious fox… get shy?

He transformed into a fiery red fox and dashed away swiftly.

But his tail, raised high, still betrayed him.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

A pot of strong liquor sat on the table before me, and I drank intermittently, yet the pain from my core remained unabated.

Damn it.

The snake’s core I used to prolong my life wouldn’t last much longer.

After finishing the pot of liquor, I looked up at the moon in the sky, feeling a bit dazed.

“Strange, why are there two moons in the sky?”

I staggered to my feet, feeling as if the world was spinning.

My legs lacked strength, and after taking a couple of steps, I lost my balance and fell headlong to the ground.

Someone caught me and pulled me up.

I squinted to see who it was.

Oh, it’s the little fox, he’s back again.

“How much did you drink?”

His tone was slightly disdainful, and I instantly felt aggrieved.

“It hurts~”

Hu Qing paused, not speaking for a long time.

I tugged at his clothes to stand a bit straighter, turning my head to meet his rosy lips.

Suddenly, I felt quite thirsty.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, or maybe the allure was too tempting.

In any case, when I stood on tiptoe to kiss Hu Qing, my mind went blank.

Then, fireworks exploded in my head.

I, Jiang Ran, never imagined that I would, in a drunken stupor… take advantage of a fox.

…

The next day when I woke up, Hu Qing was lying beside me, propped up on his elbow, watching me.

Me: “???”

He smiled brightly: “You’re awake?”

I glanced down at my clothes, which were somewhat disheveled.

I then turned to look at his robe, and… it barely covered him.

Heart weary, let it all be destroyed.
