Wu Zuo looked at the withered body from which the p***s had been removed and sighed, "This is the third case in our county, obviously done by humans, with similar deaths, all perishing from excessive ejaculation." The grieving family knelt down and lamented, "My elder brother usually worked on the farm from sunrise to sunset, rarely interacting with others, let alone harboring grudges. Sir, you must thoroughly investigate and find the culprit to seek justice for my brother." Those with keen eyes could tell that Yan Qin was not killed by human hands. Though his naked body showed signs of decomposition and his lower body was severed, there were no obvious wounds. His bed was stained with semen and blood, and the severed p***s on the side still had white fluid on the glans.
Onlookers whispered to each other, "Yan Qin probably had impure thoughts and was drained of his semen by the rumored fox demon." "Isn't it the same way Huang Liang from the neighboring village died? I heard he used to flirt with married women, and he was found dead in the woods, also in the same condition. It's karma!" Yan Xiong, kneeling on the ground, almost stood up to argue with them. Even though his brother had passed away, hearing such malicious gossip was unbearable. He and his brother had always relied on each other, no matter how difficult things were.
"I heard a woman moaning last night. Which woman could be so lewd? The households here are far apart, and I didn't think it was from this family. I thought it might be stray lovers fooling around, but I didn't expect it to be this family." The speaker chuckled, making fun of Yan Qin for his lustful desires and his deserved fate.
Unable to bear it any longer, Yan Xiong turned around and rebuked the people behind him, "My brother was honest and kind-hearted. Where did these impure thoughts come from? Even if he perished from excessive ejaculation, he was still seduced by the fox demon." "The village chief warned everyone a few days ago to be vigilant and not to have impure thoughts about strange women. Yan Qin brought this upon himself." Yan Xiong, enraged, swung a punch at the person behind him, scolding, "My brother hasn't even been laid to rest, and you people have no right to speak ill of him." The person who had been punched in the face angrily retaliated, and the two ended up exchanging blows, both ending up bruised and battered before being forcefully separated by nearby guards. "Stop fighting! Both of you!" said the guard. "Don't spread rumors without evidence. The fox demon theory has no eyewitnesses. The authorities will investigate this matter thoroughly. You people should all disperse and stop hindering the funeral." With a glance at the mutilated corpse, the guard felt a surge of disgust and bitterness rising in his throat. He couldn't help but ponder, if indeed the fox demon was lurking in the human world, solving this case would be extremely difficult!
A wisp of white smoke swiftly flew into the Yao Ling Cave, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The entrance to the Yao Ling Cave was not large, but once inside, it was a different world, just as vast and boundless as the human world outside the cave.
Upon returning to the county from the human world, Dong Er hurried back to the Yan Shui Palace and quickly entered her chamber, lest she be seen sneaking out of the Yao Ling Cave.
For thousands of years, fox demons in the Yao Ling Cave had peacefully coexisted with humans. The average lifespan of humans was only a few decades, while long-lived fox demons could live for thousands of years. However, humans were deeply envious of the beauty and longevity of half-human, half-fox fox demons. Yet, the offspring of foxes and humans could not reproduce. They could only transform into true humans?
It was not that the fox demons were afraid of having a shorter lifespan with human faces, but the difficulty of transforming into humans made them hesitant, preferring to stay in the Yao Ling Cave and avoid conflicts with humans.
However, Dong Er no longer thought so after entering the human world, especially after seeing her own stunning beauty in the mirror. When she saw humans, she no longer considered herself beautiful.
"Dong Er, Dong Er..."
As soon as she entered, Liu Jie came knocking at her door. Dong Er quickly grabbed a mirror to check herself, making sure there was no trace of human blood on her fur before opening the door.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Jie smelled a strange and foul odor. "Where have you been for the past two days?" Hua Er walked into Dong Er's room, looking around but finding nothing unusual. She could smell the strange odor emanating from Dong Er's body but couldn't identify what it was.
"I haven't been anywhere," Dong Er said nervously, her tail swaying anxiously behind her.
"Father and Mother are looking for you." Hua Er sensed that Dong Er was acting unnaturally but didn't pry further, thinking that since Dong Er was of marrying age, she probably had something to hide.
"Why are they looking for me?" Dong Er asked, worried that her secret had been discovered. If her parents were looking for her, it must be to inquire about her actions.
"How would I know? Go and find out." Hua Er had never tasted human blood, so she didn't know what it smelled like. She thought Dong Er must have caught some good prey these past two days and was hiding it from her. She wasn't curious and left.
Dong Er went to the main hall of the Yan Shui Palace, where her father and mother were chatting happily with a strange vixen. She approached and asked, "Father, Mother, why are you looking for Dong Er?" Her father suddenly caught a whiff of a fishy odor coming from Dong Er and his face darkened. He thought it was inappropriate to inquire with an outsider present and said, "The Yanshi Palace has come to propose marriage. This marriage is settled, and at your age, you should learn about raising children and being a good wife and mother." Dong Er's face turned pale at the news. She had no intention of marrying a fox demon, let alone giving birth to offspring who were neither human nor fox!
But these thoughts only remained in her heart. If she were to voice them, her parents would surely lock her up in the Yechang Pavilion and cut off her contact with the outside world. She wouldn't be able to leave the Yao Ling Cave or go to Zhongqi Mountain, let alone have a chance to reunite with her savior.
She reluctantly agreed to the marriage proposal, knowing that it was an unassailable decision. However, in her heart, she was planning to smoothly leave the Yao Ling Cave this time and never return after reaching Zhongqi Mountain.
