Chapter 115 - I Will Make It Work! (1/2)

”Did you know that almost no organization would accept a fox demon?”

Krune shook his head.

”No wonder. Your wisp race is in a worse state than us, after all. But we fox demons aren't trusted either. Some consider us to give bad luck; others don't believe us because they are afraid that all fox demons aren't loyal. Even with the blood contract in place, they are still afraid that we would find a loophole to get back at them.”

Mile sighed, then continued.

”Because of that bad impression, we have quite a hard time to survive. It doesn't matter if it is in the human world, or the danger zones. Everyone don't trust fox demons. That's why a fox demon that takes the human form will hardly show its true form again. As you know, demon beasts that live in the danger zones hardly use their human forms, but we would hardly do it after becoming able to change.”

”Fox type demon beasts situation isn't as bad as wisps, but they don't have it easy either.

”So let alone me, a rare nine-tailed vixen that could only take the human form after the Core Formation Realm. My life wasn't anything good. I was pursed by both cultivators and demon beasts several times too. Of course, my chances of surviving were much higher than your wisp race, so you don't have to feel pity for me. Haha!”

Krune shook his head.

”Not having a place that accepts you is sad for anyone.”

Mile just smiled.

”You say that because you don't know that I had also used wisps for cultivation in the past.”

Surprisingly, Krune expression didn't change even a bit after hearing it.

”You seem very calm after I said it.”

Krune sighed and said.

”I would just be deluding myself if I were to believe everyone I know hasn't used wisps energy before. This is already considered a part of the planet's culture. That's why I won't look into the past, I will only help to protect those who are in my reach. Otherwise, I would need to wage war against everyone.”

Mile was surprised by Krune's point of view.

”That's a good way to see it. But you don't need to worry. I now understand that consuming them is very bad for the foundation. I took a long time to get rid of all the impurities from their energy too. Of course, it doesn't mean that I would still do it if there were no impurities. And you have Guild Head Bary to thank for that.”

Krune was puzzled but waited for her to continue.

”It was he who found me a long time ago. At that time, he wasn't at the Divine Soul Realm, and I wasn't in the Core Formation Realm either. My life was the same as your previous one, running everywhere. But there came a day when I was finally caught. The one who got me was a Core Formation Realm Three-Headed Lion.”

”Fortunately, I wasn't killed straight away. The lion seemed to have some personal grudges against fox demons, so it wanted to make me suffer first. Otherwise, why would he bother with an early-stages Foundation Establishment demon beast like me?”

”I can't even remember how long I was played by with that demon beast. Until one day, I heard the sounds of battle outside the lion's den. It turns out that Bary had gotten a Mercenary Mission to acquire that lion's blood. As you can imagine, he wasn't the Guild Head at that time either. In the end, he was successful in killing it and obtaining the blood.”

”He then entered the den with his companions who took the mission with him. It was at that moment that they found me imprisoned inside. Even though the lion died, I didn't have much hope anyway. Fox Demons are hated by both cultivators and demon beasts alike, after all.”

”Sure enough, Bary's companions showed ugly faces after seeing me. One of them then came close, planning to finish me off. I had been tortured for a long time, so I couldn't pose any defense. Not to mention that they were all in the Core Formation Realm. Even if I was completely fine, what an early stages Foundation Establishment vixen demon beast could do against them anyway?”

”But just as that cultivator raised his sword to kill me, Bary appeared behind him and held his hand. The guy was taken aback and asked him what's the meaning of that. Bary just told them to go ahead and gather whatever they wanted. Although Bary's companion was puzzled, he didn't do anything. Why would they start a fight because of a vixen demon beast anyway? And a nine-tailed one at that.”

”After they left, Bary cut the chains that were holding me and used his spiritual energy to heal my injuries until I got into a stable condition. I then asked him why he helped a demon vixen like me. Can you guess what he said?”

Krune shook his head.

”Because your fur is very beautiful, he said.”

Mile then started to laugh out loud.

”I thought that he was the worst lier of all times. I was completely dirty after staying there for so long, not to mention that my fur was all bloodied. Due to my caution against everyone, I obviously thought that he was trying to do something with me. So I just waited to see what he really wanted. Sooner or later, he would say what his real intention for saving me was.”

”But then, he got up and... left.”
