Strange Tales of the Ghosts

“That's right, I'm the fox.
Didn't you want to skin me?” Xue Fu looked at Qian Dagui alluringly and reminded him, “My real name is Snow Fox (1), not Xue Fu.”

Qian Dagui collapsed on the ground and cried, “You wanted to take revenge on me, why wouldn't you let Lu'er go?”

“Let him go? What do you mean by that? Your humans talk about 'a dutiful son is obliged to pay his father's debts', isn't it?” Snow Fox swayed her tail and looked at Qian Dagui.
“It's too easy to just kill you with a knife because you won't understand how it feels to be alone and the pain of losing your family.
I want you to be like me, I want you to taste how it feels to watch your family die because of you.” Snow Fox forced Qian Dagui to look her in the eyes and used her powers to show him how she killed those people, including how Zhou Hanliu discovered her as a fox.
Everything seemed to happen in front of his own eyes and Qian Dagui's body twitched.
He felt nothing but regret, he regretted that he didn't listen to Zhou Hanliu.
Zhou Hanliu wasn't pretending to be crazy, she lost her sanity from terror.
That night, Zhou Hanliu couldn't sleep and look towards Xue Fu's window.
She saw Xue Fu coming back as half human and half fox after she consumed someone.
Snow Fox didn't kill Zhou Hanliu because she knew that no one would believe what Zhou Hanliu said, so she left her alive to give Qian Dagui more problems to handle.
Everything played in Qian Dagui's mind as if he did it himself and how he got his son killed.
When he saw the moment Qian Lu was beheaded again, he couldn't cope with it anymore and used a hairpin Xue Fu left at home, stabbing into his own heart.

“You can't die!” Snow Fox saw that Qian Dagui had committed suicided; she used her powers to save him because her hatred hadn't disappeared yet, and she was still in pain.

At this moment, a man dressed in a simple robe appeared in the Qian Residence with a sword in his hand.
He kicked the door open and yelled, “Demon fox, that's enough!”

Snow Fox trembled at the sight of him.
Although she had never met him before, she knew this man was strong.
She left Qian Dagui, transformed into formless air, and escaped as fast as she could.
This began the story of the highly powerful Master who chased after a white fox.
It continued for nineteen years; from north to south, from the depths of mountains to the sea, the Master never gave up trying to capture the evil white fox.
Eventually, twenty years later, he caught the white fox who was about to give birth and stabbed her stomach, killing her unborn child along with her, sending both of them to the Underworld.

Snow Fox didn't know how long she walked until she arrived at the Naihe Bridge(2).
On the other side of the bridge was the Three-Life Stone, where all the souls could see what happened in their past lives.
Snow Fox dragged her blood-filled body to the Three-Life Stone— everything happened before she reincarnated as a fox, her encounter with the farmer flashed across her eyes.
Not only so, the stone also showed those who were closely connected to her.
Snow Fox saw Qian Lu on it, and she was confused.
A dark-faced deity who stood next to it with a writing brush spoke coldly, “It's nothing strange.
What you plant in the previous life grows in the next.
Qian Dagui killed the farmer so I made the farmer reincarnate as Qian Dagui's son to make him pay for it.”

“…” Snow Fox trembled.
Qian Lu was the farmer in reincarnation.
Snow Fox had been seeking revenge on the person who saved her life all these times.
Blood dripped down from Snow Fox's face as she cried.
She turned around and saw Qian Lu's soul standing behind her, he had waited for twenty years just to meet her.
