In This Life, You Are a God While I Am a Demonic Fox

Proofread by Zhu Yuan

“Xiaoshan, Bai Xiaoshan, come here! I’ve become a fox with nine tails, and I’ll be in the shape of a human!” Seeing that I finally had the ninth tail behind me, I ran out of the fox hole and shouted excitedly.

With a loud clatter, a stone fell on me unexpectedly. Then came Bai Xiaoshan’s furious roaring: “Don’t interrupt my sleep!”

Feeling aggrieved, I rubbed the place where I was hit by the stone and looked up at the person sleeping on the tree. Well, he was indeed a sleeping pheasant, not a person. I continued to shout at him, “Xiaoshan, look at me! I’m not lying to you! I am going to have a human body this time!”

I just finished talking, and there was radiant white light coming from my body with great brilliancy. I squinted my eyes, surprised to see my body rise gradually. My claws grew into human hands and feet, and my white fur disappeared inch by inch and turned into white and smooth skin suddenly …

I opened my mouth slightly but could not speak. In the past ten thousand years I had been practicing just for today. I finally understood why Bai Xiaoshan expected me to become a fox as soon as possible, because at this moment, I saw myself as a human…

Perhaps interrupted by the strong white light, Bai Xiaoshan yawned, reluctantly opened his eyes and glanced at me.

“You see! I didn’t lie to you! I’ve taken the human form!” I grinned excitedly at Bai Xiaoshan.

Another stone hit my forehead accurately with a bang. Before I cried out, Bai Xiaoshan jumped out of the tree and turned his back on me. He shouted, “You stupid fox, don’t you know how to dress yourself?”

I continued to rub my forehead in confusion, looked down at my naked body, tilted my head and said innocently: “I am not a human being. Why should I wear any clothes?”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoshan started to search for another stone around him. I immediately covered my face with conditioned reflex and said: “Okay! Okay! I’ll conjure up clothes for myself right away…”

As a result, Bai Xiaoshan’s claw no longer rubbed on the stone. I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly created a dress with long white sleeves. A delicate peony was embroidered on the collar, which was inlaid with golden lines. The pleated skirt was like floating cloud when the wind blew. The dress was lovely and refreshing.

After I put on my clothes, Bai Xiaoshan finally turned around and walked up to me. He changed suddenly from a beautiful pheasant into a handsome young man. But his clothes were too colorful. He looked like a bunch of gorgeous butterflies at first glance.

He looked at me carefully for a long time, then held out his hand to pinch my cheek and shook his head with a frown: “Why are you so ugly?”

“Ugly?” I looked at him puzzled.

“Look at yourself!” Bai Xiaoshan conjured up a mirror and put it into my hand.

I held up the mirror and looked at myself carefully. Well, I had an oval face, big eyes, long eyelashes, pink cheeks, a delicate nose, and a small mouth, which were quite sweet. The more I looked at my face, the more satisfied I was about my appearance. I couldn’t help but showed a contented smirk and said: “I am not ugly. I am very satisfied with this beautiful face!”

Bai Xiaoshan knocked on my forehead again. He grabbed the mirror and glared at me. “Satisfied? Satisfied with this ugly face? Your face is too run-of-the-mill. Have you seen a demon as ugly as you? You should think about those foxes in Green Mound before. All of them are drop dead gorgeous when they become humans!”

I bowed my head and pondered for a moment. This face was too plain compared with that of other demons who became humans. However, Bai Xiaoshan and I were away from Green Mound for one thousand years, he could still remember what other foxes looked like. On a second thought, I wondered whether Bai Xiaoshan took a fancy to a fox in Green Mound, so he still could not forget the appearance of others.

This idea suddenly came to me and I looked at Bai Xiaoshan with surprise. When I saw that he was less angry, I felt that I was right. So I blinked and said, “Xiaoshan, you fell in love one thousand years ago! I didn’t even notice it!”

Another stone hit my head with a clatter. Bai Xiaoshan looked at me angrily, “What are you thinking about, you stupid fox? Can you get down to business right now? ”

“What business?” I touched my forehead and looked at him tearfully.

“Choose another face for yourself!” Bai Xiaoshan ground his teeth.

“Oh. That’s okay!” At his request, I changed my face again and looked at him piteously, ready to let him judge my appearance and conjured up a face that satisfied him.

“Uglier! Another one!” Bai Xiaoshan shook his head with his arms folded across his chest.

I switched to another one.

“No!”

I changed it again.

“No way!”

I continued to change.

“Not enough!”

I tried to change again.

“Too ugly!”

I changed again and again…

When I appeared in front of Bai Xiaoshan with a pig’s face, he finally couldn’t make it and barfed. He said with difficulty as he vomited: “You are getting uglier and uglier. You’d better change back to the first one, which is more pleasing to the eye!”

So I switched back to the face that satisfied me at first with a smile, patted Bai Xiaoshan on the shoulder and said, “Xiaoshan, it’s quite good to have a plain face. Haven’t you heard of beautiful young ladies’ misfortunes? You don’t want me to be short-lived, do you? ”

“Pshaw!” His mouth twitched but he did not refute me.

“Xiaoshan, you should be happy. You see, I can finally go to the mortal world with you now. Isn’t that good?” I held out my hands to hold Bai Xiaoshan’s cheeks and smiled brilliantly.

“You always want to go to the mortal world yourself!” Bai Xiaoshan knocked off my hands and snapped back.

“Hey, hey, I’m with you anyway. It is acceptable for me to go outside.”

I was a demonic fox who had lived for thousands of years. Well, to be exact, I had been practicing for two thousand years. In fact, a demon who practiced for more than two thousand years could be regarded as a senior demon, but I only obtained the power to take the human form. There was a long story behind it. At the beginning I was a fox living in Green Mound. For a fox demon, after a hundred years of practice, one tail could be obtained. After a thousand years, nine tails could be possessed, and the fox could guise itself in the shape of a human. However, I was an exception. I practiced in Green Mound for one thousand years and only had five tails. The process for me was unprecedentedly slow. I indeed became the one who kept the slowest record. Foxes in Green Mound all regarded me as a disgrace to the white fox group, and all the demons were disdainful when they saw me. However, I didn’t care about these things. I lived my life leisurely as usual and waited for my tails to grow out.
