Chapter 2261 Sweet and Sour
After a while, the scholar finally recovered from the shocking sour taste.
He reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.
He was so sore that tears came out of his eyes.
……
"Giggle~"
The little white fox smiled until his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.
……
The scholar couldn't help but grinned.
Was it a prank?
The sour taste of the fruit still lingers in the mouth.
It doesn't feel good.
But the corners of his mouth curved upward.
"You are a fox demon, right?"
……
"You are really a fox demon..."
The scholar does not need the fox to respond.
He had already figured out the answer himself.
"You..."
The scholar clasped his hands.
He really... met the fox demon.
The real thing...the same as what was said in the book...the fox demon...
"...Can you change into a human?"
The scholar was curious and excited.
He wanted to calm down.
But found this a bit difficult.
……
The scholar took a deep breath.
"How did you save me just now?"
"Is it a spell?"
"What kind of magic do you know?"
"Can you use fireball?"
……
The scholar asked him all the doubts and curiosities he had while reading the book.
And his own conjectures.
……
What a mouthful.
Looking at the chattering scholar below, the little white fox curled his lips.
A look of disgust.
Still want to see it transform?
laugh.
Think beautifully.
……
"...the story of the fox demon and the scholar...is it true?"
Regarding fox demons, there are two most widely circulated theories.
One is that the fox demon bewitches humans and practices by absorbing the essence of human men.
One is a poignant love story in which a fox demon and a scholar meet, get to know each other, and finally break up due to various reasons.
Naturally, it was not easy for him to ask whether the fox demon really relied on absorbing men's essence to practice.
Although he was immersed in reading, he was not so unsophisticated.
Moreover, he was more interested in the latter statement.
To be honest, he was always a little concerned about the final separation between the fox demon and the scholar.
Now that he saw the fox demon, he couldn't help but think of the story that bothered him.
I wonder if he can get a different answer from the fox demon.
……
The dim sunset light fell into his eyes.
The scholar was stunned for a few seconds, with an anxious look on his face.
"It's already so late?"
"I'm going back!"
If he didn't go back, his family would probably report him missing.
The scholar raised his eyes.
The snow-white fur of the fox is dyed in stunning colors under the gorgeous red clouds.
He held his breath subconsciously.
……
"Ouch!"
A familiar pain.
The scholar rubbed his forehead and picked up the fruit on the ground with a wry smile.
"Thank you."
After all, it was the fruit given to him by Lord Fox Demon. Even if it was very sour, he was still happy.
"Master Fox Demon, I'm going back."
The little white fox turned to look at the setting sun on the horizon.
The scholar stood there for a while.
Then he smiled with some disappointment.
really.
The fox demon still didn't give him any response.
But...
He pressed his fingers together.
The fox demon gave him fruit.
In other words, the fox demon doesn't hate him that much, right?
……
"Master Fox Demon, I will come again tomorrow."
The scholar assured with a smile.
"Then Lord Fox Demon, I'm leaving."
……
The scholar turned around. There was no sound from behind.
He took a step forward.
……
When he reached the mountainside, he met the book boy who came to see him.
The bookboy's expression was almost crying with joy, which made him a little embarrassed.
They hurried down the mountain.
……
At the foot of the mountain, the scholar turned his head to look at the top of the mountain.
In the end, the fox demon still didn't answer a single question for him.
He pursed his lips.
Withdrew his gaze.
……
The next day, the scholar arrived as promised.
"Lord Fox Demon."
He was pleasantly surprised to see the fox in the same place, which even though he saw it for the second time, still amazed him.
"Thank you."
"The fruit was very sweet yesterday."
The scholar smiled and frowned.
He was referring to the fruit that the fox demon gave him later.
He later ate it on the way back.
He was already prepared to be so sour that he shed tears.
However, an unexpected sweet taste came from my mouth.
He was surprised.
But soon, a big smile appeared on his face.
It was exactly the same as his expression at this time.
……
"Dong~"
"Ouch!"
The familiar pain made the scholar feel helpless.
Why does the fox demon smash it every time he gives him fruit?
Although he complained so much in his heart, he would not really say it out loud.
He bent down and picked up the fruit.
After wiping it a little, I put it directly into my mouth.
"!"
……
So sour!
The scholar burst into tears instantly.
After a long while, he finally regained his composure.
He looked at the fox demon with some grievance and confusion.
Why did you give him such sour fruit again?
……
The little white fox rolled his eyes.
It glanced at the bushes not far away.
Then he glared at the scholar again.
Fool.
……
The scholar looked confused.
But he didn't pay too much attention.
Did the fox demon-sama do a lot of things that he didn't understand?
……
However, he didn't understand, but he was still vaguely aware that Lord Fox Demon seemed to be in a bad mood.
He raised the corners of his mouth, looking quite cheerful.
"Lord Fox Fairy, I made a painting for you after I went back yesterday."
After all, Lord Fox Demon's stunning figure left a deep impression on him.
"It's not done yet."
Yesterday, he came home so late and was scolded by his parents for a long time.
Especially after knowing that he came here alone.
This mountain is steep and forested, so it is not a good place for a spring outing.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
His parents blamed him for being too bold.
After this lecture, he didn't have enough time to paint.
……
"But I will finish it when I go back today."
Scholar guarantees.
"I'll bring the painting tomorrow."
Having said this, the scholar couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I wonder if Lord Fox Demon will like his paintings?
I wonder if he can draw one ten thousandth of the charm of the fox demon?
……
"Ouch!"
The scholar rubbed his head.
This time he probably understood why he was hit.
While picking up the fruit, he explained, "I want to observe the fox demon carefully."
"The fox demon painted in this way looks more like the fox demon."
"I hope the fox demon can like my painting."
……
The scholar looked at the fruit in his hand and looked at Lord Fox Demon with some uncertainty, "Master Fox Demon, is the fruit this time sour or sweet?"
If it's sour...
He felt that he couldn't bear to eat two such sour fruits in such a short period of time.
……
The little white fox gave the scholar a look to let him understand.
Scholar:?
what to do?
He didn't understand what Lord Fox Demon meant.
Uh...
So should he eat or not?
