The Little Fox I Picked Up Wants to Be My Husband

My husband, Kaelin, and I have been married for 1800 years. We've long since grown tired of each other. Foxes are irresistible by nature; once you've had a taste, show some restraint. You've worn that human stain for centuries; maybe it's time that coldblooded nature of yours woke up. Nothing He didn't know I'd already been tangled up with the Fox Clan's crown prince for quite some time Last night that fox kept me up all night My waist still aches like hell The handmaid at the gate went white the moment she saw me return. to her My lady. I stopped There was a faint fox musk in the air. I pushed open the door. She heard the door. and screamed burying her face in his chest he waved a hand and summoned a white mist to. shield what are you doing back? Ivy startles easily would it have killed you to knock. I curved my. lips did she startle not at all my lady. Behave, go wait in the side chamber, I'll be there shortly. After she left. I looked at the mat on the floor and. sighed "Eager, couldn't even make it to the bed" "Foxes are irresistible, I genuinely couldn't help myself" "It's just a mat, I'll have it replaced. ". I smiled and said nothing; he'd probably forgotten that map was the gift he brought me from the mortal realm a thousand years ago.

I was once a small silver serpent dwelling in the sacred spring of the Moon Goddess Temple. One afternoon, I was resting on a lily pad when Kalen passed by and nearly caught me for dinner. I shifted into human form in a panic and landed right in his arms. He was delighted! And begged the goddess to grant him my hand in marriage, when the goddess asked me, I said yes. On our wedding day, the old sea turtle from the sacred spring pulled a long face. Kalen has always had wandering eyes; I'm afraid he'll bring you nothing but grief. I was blind with love; I didn't hear a word. We were bound by the golden arrow of love under Cupid's witness. We enjoyed a period of sweet bliss, but before long, Kalen's heart strayed to another. Every few years, some female spirit would come to my door crying about how Kalen had abandoned her. Early on, I confronted him, screamed, wept. he only said "Serena, we are gods, even mortals struggle to stay faithful years devoted to one person. ". I sobbed until I couldn't breathe. They are diversions, nothing more You are the only one I have ever. loved He never wasted patience on women he'd grown bored of He'd dismiss them. I've set a ward on the outer hall, no one will bother you again.

After that, I buried myself in alchemy. As long as no one showed up at my door, I stopped watching what he did outside. Then, a few months ago, Gailen went below to subdue a rogue demon. Some unknown red fox spirit threw herself in front of a strike meant for him; badly injured, she lost consciousness. He brought her home that evening, he fed her every healing elixir he owned, then he dug up the twin heart blossoms we'd planted on our wedding day. Fed those to her too I moved my things into the outbuilding When the red fox finally woke, he remembered I. existed Bear with me a few days Once she heals. I'll have her moved out. I went looking for him in the main hall. Then compared to Serena, who do you prefer? Her true form is a serpent, cold blooded, no comparison. She doesn't come close. not even your fingertip. I clicked my tongue; jealous? You're nearly 5000 years old. Surely you're not threatened by a girl who's barely past her first few hundreds. Jealous? Of course not. She's waiting for the moment he left. A white shade launched itself at my chest.
