Chapter 2261 Sweet and Sour

It took a long time for the scholar to recover from the extremely shocking sour taste.

He reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.

He was so sad that tears came out.

……

"Giggle~"

The little white fox smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

……

The scholar couldn't help but grin.

Was it a prank?
There is still a sour taste of fruit in the mouth.

It's not pleasant.

But the corners of his mouth curved upward.

"You are a fox demon, right?"

……

"You really are a fox demon..."

The scholar didn't need a response from the fox.

He had already arrived at the answer himself.

"you……"

The scholar clenched his hands.

He really... met a fox demon.

The real deal...just like what's described in the book...a fox demon...

"...Can you transform into a human?"

The scholar was curious and excited.

He wanted to calm himself down.

But found this a bit difficult.

……

The scholar took a deep breath.

"How did you save me just now?"

"Is it a spell?"

"What magic can you do?"

"Can you do Fireball?"

……

The scholar asked about all the doubts and curiosity he had when reading the book.

And his own conjectures.

……

What a mouthful.

Looking at the scholar who was chattering non-stop below, the little white fox curled his lips.

A look of disgust.

Want to see it transform?

laugh.

Think beautifully.

……

"…The story of the fox demon and the scholar…is it true?"

There are only two most widely circulated stories about fox demons.

One is a fox demon that bewitches humans and cultivates by absorbing the essence of human men.

One is a tragic love story about a fox demon and a scholar who met, got to know each other, and finally were forced to separate due to various reasons.

Naturally, he didn't dare to ask the fox demon whether she really relied on absorbing the essence of men to practice.

Although he was buried in his studies, he was not so ignorant of worldly affairs.

Besides, he was more interested in the latter statement.

To be honest, he was always a little bothered by the final separation of the fox demon and the scholar.

Now that he had seen the fox demon, he couldn't help but think of the story that had been bothering him.

I don’t know if he can get a different answer from the Fox Demon Lady.

……

The dim afterglow of the setting sun fell into his eyes.

The scholar was stunned for a few seconds and an anxious look appeared on his face.

"Is it that late already?"

"I want to go back!"

If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid his family will report him to the police and say he's missing.

The scholar raised his eyes.

The fox's snow-white fur is dyed with stunning colors under the beautiful red clouds.

He subconsciously held his breath.

……

"Ouch!"

Familiar pain.

The scholar rubbed his forehead and picked up the fruit on the ground with a wry smile.

"Thank you."

After all, it was the fruit given to him by the fox demon. Even though it was sour, he was still happy.

"Master Fox Demon, I want to go back."

The little white fox turned his head and looked at the setting sun in the sky.

The scholar stood there for a while.

Then he smiled with some disappointment.

really.

The fox demon still didn't give him any response.

but……

He put his fingers together.

The fox demon gave him fruit.

In other words, Lady Fox Demon doesn't hate him that much, right?
……

"Master Fox Demon, I will come again tomorrow."

The scholar assured with a smile.

"Then Master Fox Demon, I am leaving now."

……

The scholar turned around. No sound came from behind him.

He took a step forward.

……

When he reached the mountainside, he met his servant who came to look for him.

He felt a little embarrassed by the servant boy's expression of almost crying with joy.

They hurried down the mountain.

……

At the foot of the mountain, the scholar turned his head and looked towards the top of the mountain.

In the end, the fox demon didn't answer any of his questions.

He pursed his lips.

Withdrew his gaze.

……

The next day, the scholar arrived as promised.

"Master Fox Demon."

He was pleasantly surprised to see the fox at the same place he always was, and even though it was the second time he saw it, it still amazed him.

"Thank you."

"The fruit was very sweet yesterday."

The scholar smiled with his eyebrows curved.

He was referring to the fruit that the fox demon gave him later.

He ate it later on the way back.

He was already prepared to be so jealous that he shed tears.

However, an unexpectedly sweet taste came from my mouth.

He was surprised.

But soon, a big smile appeared on his face.

It was exactly the same expression as his right now.

……

"Boom~"

"Ouch!"

The familiar feeling of pain made the scholar feel helpless.

Why did the fox demon always smash the fruit he gave him?
Although he complained in his heart, he would never really say it out loud.

He bent down and picked up the fruit.

After wiping it slightly, I put it directly into my mouth.

"!"

……

very sour!

The scholar's tears came out instantly.

After a long while, he finally regained his composure.

He looked at the Fox Demon Lord with some grievance and confusion.

Why did you give him such sour fruit again?
……

The little white fox rolled his eyes.

It glanced at the bushes not far away.

Then he glared at the scholar again.

Fool.

……

The scholar looked confused.

But I didn't care too much.

Hasn't Lord Fox Demon done enough things that he doesn't understand?
……

However, even though he didn't understand, he was vaguely aware that the fox demon seemed to be in a bad mood.

He raised the corners of his mouth, looking quite excited.

"Master Fox Fairy, I drew a picture for you when I returned yesterday."

After all, he was deeply impressed by the stunning figure of Lady Fox Demon.

"Not finished."

He came home so late yesterday that his parents scolded him for a long time.

Especially after knowing that he came here alone.

This mountain is steep and the forest is deep, so it is not a good place for a spring outing.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

His parents blamed him for being too bold.

After this lecture, he didn't have enough time to paint.

……

"But I'll get it done when I get back today."

The scholar guarantees.

"I'll bring the painting tomorrow."

Having said that, the scholar couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

I wonder if Lady Fox Demon will like his paintings?
I wonder if he can draw one-tenth of the Fox Demon Lady’s charm?
……

"Ouch!"

The scholar rubbed his head.

This time he probably understood why he was hit.

As he picked up the fruit, he explained, "I want to observe the fox demon master carefully."

"The Fox Demon-sama drawn this way looks more like the Fox Demon-sama."

"I hope Master Fox will like my painting."

……

The scholar looked at the fruit in his hand, then looked at the fox demon with some uncertainty, "Fox demon, is the fruit sour or sweet this time?"

If it's sour...

He felt that he could not bear to eat two such sour fruits in such a short time.

……

The little white fox gave the scholar a look that allowed him to experience it for himself.

Scholar:?
How to do?
He didn't understand what the fox demon meant.

Uh……

So should he eat it or not?
