“Alas!” Bai Qingqing sighed suddenly, then sat down beside me and took away my pine cone. After calming herself down, she finally spoke slowly: “You don’t know how lonely I have been in the past one hundred years since I became a fairy. I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It was really miserable…”
She looked at me with tearful eyes and wanted to say something. It seemed that she was waiting for my response. So I comforted her politely: “My sister, don’t be so sad. You will get used to the loneliness after millions of years.”
Bai Qingqing was stunned. Her facial expression was slightly distorted, but she became normal at once and continued: “When I was in Green Mound…”
I was about to listen to her attentively, but she sighed, looked at me and said: “I don’t think you’d like to hear those sad stories. You will blame me for being garrulous.”
“Well, you can stop talking.” I answered her subconsciously. But immediately I found that my reply was quite impolite, because her face was twitching. So I corrected myself: “Let’s talk about it. I want to hear your stories.”
She was pleased by my reply and asked me with great patience: “Is this true, my sister?”
I nodded. If I said I regretted it at that moment, Bai Qingqing would kick me out directly.
She was obviously satisfied with my performance, and finally got to the point: “Once upon a time, when I was in Green Mound, I had a husband and we loved each other deeply. The two of us swore an oath of eternal love. We seldom envied other couples since we two were sweet enough. However, the good times didn’t last long. I didn’t expect that in Green Mound there could be a seductive fox…” Speaking of this, Bai Qingqing paused and gnashed her teeth in anger.
I blinked and thought: Wasn’t Green Mound full of foxes?
Bai Qingqing seemed to be aware of her mistake, and then explained: “You don’t know that the fox was different from us. She had practiced for hundreds of years and should have had nine tails. However, she only had three and couldn’t take the human shape for a long time. Kind and sensible as I was, I would never despise her. Her practice was slow, but her cajolery was perfect. She tempted my husband to send her rice every day. If I hadn’t found that the rice jar at home was almost empty, I still didn’t know that he was cheating on me…”
As Bai Qingqing narrated, I gradually became nervous. Unfortunately, the home wrecker she mentioned was me. I began to sit straight and look at Bai Qingqing carefully. In fact, I had already forgotten those foxes in Green Mound. After all, it had been so long, and my memory always failed to serve me. However, I found Bai Qingqing more and more familiar to me when I observed her. Later, I suddenly remembered that she had been chasing me for hundreds of years and wanted to kill me.
But this was not the scariest part. Bai Xiaoshan and I had seen her beat her husband violently in front of my fox cave. The man was also very pitiful. Originally, he had a handsome face, but after the sound thrashing, he looked just like an ugly pig. While watching, Bai Xiaoshan covered his face with his hands and sighed faintly at me: “This woman is too violent. Please take care of yourself!”
After I remembered all these things, my hands and feet began to shiver. The scene of Bai Qingqing’s domestic violence left an indelible impact on me. This was also an important reason why Bai Xiaoshan led me to Qiyun Mountain. After all, Bai Qingqing was too destructive. I didn’t expect that after one thousand years, when she had already become a fairy, she still felt so angry about the past. What was worse, I even stupidly sent myself to her. How miserable it was! Was this arranged by the fate? After a thousand years, I still couldn’t escape from her clutches.
“Well, my sister, since it has been so long, and you have become a fairy, you should let it go!” With great calmness, I tried to persuade Bai Qingqing into forgiving me.
“Let it go?” Her voice was suddenly raised, and my heart was in my throat at that moment. She continued: “How could I let it go? That fox seduced my husband, wasted my rice and hurt me like this, I…”
Seeing that Bai Qingqing was out of speech, I replied hastily: “Don’t be so angry! I am confused right now. Since you have become immortal now, why do you say you were hurt by that little fox?”
Bai Qingqing took a sip of the tea and said indignantly: “I am talking about becoming a fairy! When I was a demon in the past, I could get everything I wanted. I was always busy enjoying my life. But now, I’ve become a little-known fox fairy. I cannot obtain anything. When I want to talk to other people, I have to choose a day. I cannot bear this life any more. If I hadn’t been irritated by that fox, how could I have become a fairy?”
My mouth twitched uncontrollably. In fact, I also wondered why Bai Qingqing could become a fairy with such deep resentment.
“If you meet that little fox one day, what are you going to do?” I muttered.
Bai Qingqing squinted and pondered for a moment. Her expression was very serious. I looked at her in fear and suddenly heard a crack. Looking down, I saw that the pine cone in her hand had turned into powder. I immediately held my breath because this scene really scared me, and then I heard her swear viciously: “If I meet her again, I will push her to become immortal! She must bear the dull life in heaven! “
When I heard this, I breathed a deep sigh of relief, but I still pretended that this was a good idea. I looked at her with great sincerity and said: “You’re so smart. This will definitely let her beg for death, and you can avenge everything!”
“You know me.” Bai Qingqing showed an evil smile, and then continued to rub the powder in her hand while whispering: “She shouldn’t have seduced my husband! She shouldn’t have seduced my husband!”
