Chapter 85 You actually tricked me into crying
Everyone stared at Xu Tianyi.
This made him a little nervous.
He spoke, his expression a mixture of a half-smile and anticipation on Yu Linglong's face.
"I'll tell you a story. If you're not satisfied after hearing it, then you can do whatever you want with me."
Yu Linglong also became interested and looked at him with a smile.
Gu Qinghan also perked up her ears, after all, she often heard Xu Tianyi tell stories, and most of them came true.
This made her wonder if he was going to tell the story of this cult leader?
The others also looked at Xu Tianyi.
He cleared his throat and spoke softly.
"The story begins more than a thousand years ago."
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong was somewhat surprised and curious as to why this person knew about events from over a thousand years ago.
Everyone perked up their ears.
After all, the history of the Wuji Empire has been disrupted many times and is no longer verifiable.
Some of these were hidden people who interfered and maliciously destroyed history; even with protection, it was too late.
This is why many people don't know about the Immortal Mask.
Moreover, this happened a thousand years ago, and people only vaguely know a little about it.
Yu Linglong's mother, Nü Xin, did know, but Nü Xin had been imprisoned for a thousand years, and Yu Linglong was sent away at the age of eight, so how could she know so much?
Everything she knew was told to her by Wuchen.
After all, Wuchen was an intellectual. In order to save the world, he listened to many things from Nüxin. After leaving, he also read the history books of the Celestial City of Jukuzhou and consulted the existing history books of the Wuji Empire.
That's how I learned about so much history.
As for how much Wuchen can tell her, that depends on Wuchen's thoughts.
This shows that Yu Linglong doesn't know much.
At this moment, Xu Tianyi started talking, which naturally piqued her interest even more.
But Xu Tianyi had no intention of talking to her about history.
"Back then, a young scholar lived in a thatched hut in a small village. He was destitute because he wanted to study."
That year, a thunderstorm struck, and a white fox was severely injured while undergoing a tribulation to break through its cultivation level.
This happened to be the day they entered the city to take the imperial examination.
He went out in the rain, but unexpectedly saw an injured white fox on the road.
He, who was already kind-hearted, hesitated for a moment, gave up taking the exam, and took the white fox home to care for it.
Although he missed the exam, he was somewhat happy to see the white fox in front of him gradually waking up.
The white fox, having cultivated for a thousand years, possessed intelligence. When injured, it was unable to transform into human form, so it simply stayed at the scholar's house to recuperate.
On weekdays, she accompanied him as he studied poetry and books, and the scholar was very happy to have raised a smart and cute pet.
Over time, the white fox fell in love with this kind and gentle scholar.
I saw that he not only had to study, but also had to worry about making a living every day.
She then secretly brought him some medicinal herbs from the mountains and forests.
The clever scholar quickly realized this, and his affection for the white fox grew even stronger.
He took the elixir out to sell, which helped supplement the money he needed for his studies.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The white fox recovered from her injuries, and on that day, she transformed into human form and disguised herself as a woman fleeing from disaster, where she was taken in by a scholar.
The scholar was delighted to see that the beautiful girl was willing to be with him.
The two lived happily together for two years.
Two years later, the scholar went to the county town to take the imperial examination.
His talent was enough to qualify him for the list, but someone impersonated him.
He was assassinated, and his body was buried in a mass grave.
The white fox waited for several days but the scholar did not return, and realized that the magic she had placed on the scholar had failed.
She was extremely anxious and immediately went to search for him.
Soon, she found the scholar's body.
Holding his body, she wept bitterly.
He forcibly used magic to awaken his soul.
That's when I learned what had happened.
But the dead cannot be brought back to life, and the white fox revealed her true identity to him.
The scholar smiled and told her that he had known all along, but he could not continue living with her.
Before reincarnation, the scholar told her to find another person who loved her.
The white fox refused, saying she was willing to give up her thousand-year-old magic power, only asking to continue her predestined relationship with him in the next life.
Although the scholar did not want her to waste her cultivation, her mind was already made up.
So she used her millennia-old magic to send the scholar into reincarnation.
After she returned to avenge the scholar, she exhausted her magical powers, abandoned her demonic form, and entered the cycle of reincarnation to find her beloved scholar.
Countless cycles have passed.
She regained consciousness, and the memories of her past life urged her to find her lover.
At this moment, she had become a real person, and she wanted to have children with him and live a peaceful and happy life.
But when she found the scholar...
He has already achieved academic success and married the daughter of a high-ranking official.
The white fox watched him joyfully enter the bridal chamber, her heart filled with sorrow. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to offer her blessings.
Love is about letting go.
After that, the white fox disappeared, leaving only a song behind.
Tears were already welling up in Yu Linglong's eyes.
This story is familiar to almost everyone on Earth.
In the Wuji Empire, even girls hearing it for the first time are moved.
Especially since Yu Linglong also has a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox demon inside her, the sense of immersion is even deeper.
Gu Qinghan was also somewhat sentimental, and naturally, she became sad as well.
She thought that if she saw Xu Tianyi consummating his marriage with another woman, she would also be heartbroken (except for Ning Hongye).
Yu Linglong's damp eyelashes fluttered: "What song..."
Her voice, usually so alluring, trembled slightly at this moment.
Xu Tianyi sighed and began to sing softly:
"I am a fox who has cultivated for a thousand years~~"
A thousand years of cultivation, a thousand years of solitude~~
In the dead of night, does anyone hear me crying?
In the dim light, may anyone see me dancing?
...
I loved you when you were penniless and studying hard.
When I left you, you were celebrating your academic success and your wedding night.
…”
Xu Tianyi can sing, but he's not very good at it.
It can be paired with the story and these sad lyrics.
Both Yu Linglong and Gu Qinghan were filled with sorrow.
Especially when the song goes, "I loved you when you were penniless and studying hard..."
When I left you, you were celebrating your academic success and your wedding night.
Yu Linglong trembled and couldn't help but shed tears.
As the song ended, Yu Linglong was still immersed in sorrow, and the phantom of a nine-tailed fox appeared on her body.
Everyone around was shocked.
"You...you tricked me with your tears..."
She wiped her eyes and looked at Xu Tianyi.
Suddenly, I felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye.
Xu Tianyi shook his head: "It's the story that's moving, not that I'm lying to you."
"Then tell me, is this story true?"
Xu Tianyi's lips twitched. "Tell me, is it true or not?"
It's definitely not true!
Do you expect me to tell you the true story of your sister being poisoned to death by the man she loved?
Am I out of my mind?
