Chapter 1: Encounters
The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on the ancient mountain forest, and the silver light is dotted, like a dream. In this deep mountain, there is an ancient temple hidden, and in the temple lives a male Taoist priest named Yunxi. He is young and handsome, with a cold air between his eyebrows, and in addition to practicing on weekdays, he helps the villagers under the mountain to solve some supernatural events.
This night, Yunxi was meditating and practicing in the temple as usual, when suddenly, a strange breath broke the silence of the temple. He opened his eyes and looked at the temple door, only to see a figure stumbling in.
It was a young man, dressed in white that had been stained red with blood, and his face was pale, apparently seriously injured. He has a handsome face, but with a strange aura, and is clearly not human.
Who are you? Why did you break into my temple? Yunxi stood up and asked in a cold tone.
The young man raised his head and looked at Yunxi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that there were still people living in this deep mountain, and he was a Taoist priest. He struggled to get up, but fell to the ground due to his injuries.
I'm Jinyu, a fox demon. I was hunted down, and in desperation, I broke into your temple. Please save my life, I'm willing to pay any price. Jin Yu's voice was weak but firm, and his eyes were full of desire to survive.
Yunxi frowned, he was not a person who killed innocents indiscriminately, but after all, monsters were different from humans, and he couldn't guarantee that this fox demon would pose a threat to him. However, looking at Jin Yu's weak and helpless appearance, he couldn't bear it.
In the end, he decided to save the fox demon. He took out the elixir to heal Jinyu's wounds, and used his mana to stabilize his injuries. Under Yunxi's treatment, Jinyu's injuries gradually stabilized, and his face also regained a hint of ruddyness.
Thank you for saving your life. Jinyu looked at Yunxi gratefully and said.
You don't have to thank me, I didn't save you out of kindness, but I didn't want to see a living being die in front of me. Yunxi said lightly, although his tone was indifferent, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
When Jinyu heard this, a warm current surged through her heart. He didn't expect that although this Taoist priest was cold and ruthless on the surface, he was so kind in his heart. His good impression of Yunxi increased a few points.
In the following days, Jinyu gradually regained her health under Yunxi's care. They lived together in this mountain temple and spent a peaceful and wonderful time together. Yunxi taught Jinyu how to control her demonic power and avoid causing trouble to the world; And Jinyu told Yunxi about his various experiences as a fox demon, and the two learned from each other and grew up with each other.
In the process, the relationship between them is also quietly changing. Yunxi finds herself more and more concerned about Jinyu's safety, and Jinyu develops a deep attachment to Yunxi. They are attracted to each other, but they dare not easily cross that seemingly clear line.
