Chapter 13 Qing Yu (5)

The wind started to blow as the butterfly flew away and Qing Yu’s long hair was blown up. It looked as beautiful as a waterfall of black hair or delicate vines. At that moment, she seemed to be the most gorgeous creature in the world.

“Ahh, what a pity.” Qing Yu bowed her head, somewhat depressed. “It flew away.”

The fox looked in the direction of the butterfly, frowning as if he thought her reaction was ridiculous. “It’s nothing. It’s just a common bug that can be seen anywhere.”

For some reason, Qing Yu got excited.

“You can see it anywhere? Well, then that’s okay. Because…” she said with a little embarrassment, “I’ve never seen a butterfly before.”

The fox raised an eyebrow. “You’ve never seen a butterfly before?”

Qing Yu nodded. “Em. I never saw a live one before; I only know of it through paintings. Though the butterflies in the paintings were very beautiful, I always wanted to know what a real butterfly looked like.”

The fox was a little surprised. “Liar. How could you have never seen such an ordinary insect before?”

Qing Yu smiled in embarrassment.

“I’m not lying. Because I never walked out of the palace. Though there are gardens in the palace, my father never let me see them. I was only allowed to stay in my room and the corridors next to it. Although my father said that this was for my own good, but…”

Qing Yu smiled helplessly.

“It’s no different from house arrest.” The nine-tailed fox said with a frown.

Qing Yu was not angry, instead, she smiled. “Even if you say so, that was my life.”

“From what you’re saying, does that mean you prefer your current life?” the fox asked.

“Yeah,” Qing Yu muttered. “I can’t go back anyway. It’s pretty good living here with you. ”

Obviously, the fox did not expect this answer. He immediately stared at her. It seemed like he wanted to ask her something, but he hesitated.

He never thought about living with a human being until she said that, and the fox noticed that he felt slightly excited about such a premise.

In his long life, he was always alone. He lived solitarily in dangerous mountains; all other monsters and animals were afraid of and respected him. He never felt lonely; life was always the same, day after day, and year after year. No one ever talked to him as boldly and as calmly as Qing Yu did.

However, Qing Yu did not notice how absent-minded the fox was. She spoke to it again.

“Ay, since you’re so powerful, can you turn into a human?”

The fox was dumbfounded after hearing her question. “What?”

“Ah?” Qing Yu was also confused by his reaction. “What what? Isn’t it normal? Because you are so big, I need to shout whenever I wish to speak to you. And I have to look up to meet your eyes, it’s so inconvenient! Besides, can’t all monsters turn into human beings once their cultivation reaches a certain level? Why do you stay in your beast form even though you’re so powerful?”

The fox was amazed by Qing Yu’s theory.

“Why do all monsters need to resemble humans?” the fox said disdainfully. “You humans are so arrogant. You’re the weakest species in this world, but no creature can compete with you in terms of arrogance.”

“What? No, we’re not!” Qing Yu argued. “My grandmother said that human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the world. Without humans, monsters wouldn’t exist, and the landscapes, flowers, birds, and plants would not be as beautiful as they are now.”
