The injury was healed, the fox was full, and a sense of exhaustion gradually crept in.
Jiuli Xue knew she should maintain the most basic sense of vigilance, but perhaps because of the girl's extraordinary charm, it made her feel an unexpected sense ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) of ease, which gradually reduced her wariness.
Jiuli Xue was cautious about such emotions, yet her heart couldn't help but yearn for this feeling.
Since she became aware of the world, her nerves had never relaxed. She had to remain alert to everything around her; even the seemingly harmless, vibrant flowers could be poisons carefully selected by assassins, and the grand, luxurious halls could easily become a beautifully crafted grave for her.
She constantly reminded herself that danger lurked everywhere, and she firmly believed that as long as she was alive, she would never escape this atmosphere of suspicion.
But perhaps it was because she had been on edge for so long that even she was starting to feel weary, to the point that now she realized she didn't actually hate this feeling of being wrapped in security—being able to sleep carefree in a beautiful woman's embrace.
Was this a trap, a beauty’s scheme?
However, after so many years of living by the sword's edge, Jiuli Xue still hadn’t let down her guard entirely.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, contemplating how to act tonight.
After being healed by the Saintess of Fanghui, even the most basic healing magic had reduced the time she needed to recover. Originally, it would take until the end of the night to recover a small portion of her strength, but thanks to Vanessa’s healing, she was confident she could regain some strength tonight.
Not much, but enough to deal with the saintess, who still had her magic drained and was only an apprentice-level.
The thought of finally ridding herself of this hated bloodline curse, and using it to draw out more potential enemies, made Jiuli Xue smile as if she had tasted honey, her lips curving upward. She didn’t realize that the seemingly plain pet collar on her neck had started to glow faintly with a subtle red light.
As she noticed the little white fox on her lap gradually becoming more comfortable, Vanessa understood that Jiuli Xue had started to relax.
Vanessa’s eyes narrowed slightly, like a saintess bestowing kindness and compassion.
“Get a good sleep~”
Night fell, and the sky gradually darkened.
The white fox opened her crimson eyes, a dangerous gleam flashing in them. She was no longer the harmless creature she seemed in the daylight; now, her gaze was filled with cunning and deep meaning.
Vanessa’s body was like a small sun. After spending the afternoon with her, Jiuli Xue’s condition had been gradually improved by the warmth radiating from Vanessa.
She had rested enough.
She could feel a slight trace of melting within the eternal frozen glacier inside her body, and a small stream of magical energy began to flow, spreading into her limbs.
Her fingertips seized this insignificant power.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, yet it could not warm the long, dark night.
As nightfall approached and Vanessa’s magical energy was depleted, she could only find a large tree in the forest to rest against, shielding herself from the wind and rain.
Perhaps it was because she had taken care of her all afternoon, combined with the battle against the Red Demons earlier, the peach-haired girl had exhausted all her energy. Her head tilted slightly, leaning against the tree’s trunk. Her eyes closed halfway, and her thin, almost translucent eyelashes sparkled like frost in the moonlight, adding a delicate charm to her already enchanting appearance.
The girl’s breathing was steady. Even though she had fallen asleep from exhaustion, she still held the little fox in her embrace, keeping it protected.
She truly had no ill intentions toward her, though Jiuli Xue had kept a sliver of awareness, remaining cautious.
The clam and the snipe struggle, and the fisherman benefits.
Jiuli Xue lifted her chin and gracefully propped herself up.
One could only say that the saintess was still too naïve—she had some cunning, but not much.
It was understandable. A young girl, full of innocent curiosity, would naturally lower her guard when she saw something cute.
Looking at the young girl with sakura-colored hair, who had no defenses and peacefully slept, Jiuli Xue smiled in delight, as if she were watching a prey that had already fallen into the trap and could no longer resist.
She gently leapt off the soft thigh of the girl.
A white shadow flashed under the moonlight, and several large, whip-like tails expanded, enveloping the little fox, a blinding white light suddenly exploding.
“.......” Vanessa furrowed her brow slightly, as if sensing some discomfort. With exhaustion, she barely opened her heavy eyelids, looking at the scene before her. Her drowsy eyes revealed a trace of disbelief.
“......Ba, ba?” Vanessa could barely make out Jiuli Xue’s figure emerging from the white light, her voice full of astonishment and confusion.
Before she could say anything else, a figure formed from the white light. Large, fluffy white fox ears stood up, and several enormous, whip-like white fox tails, decorated with beautiful patterns, floated behind her.
Before Vanessa could react, a leg wrapped in long white stockings extended, the perfectly shaped arch of the foot slightly curved. The tip of the foot lifted a wooden sandal decorated with a red bow, just an inch away from her nose.
A rich, rose-like cold fragrance filled her nose, the aggressive scent making her wonder whether it was the fox-eared girl’s body scent or the smell of her hair.
Vanessa froze, staring at the cascading snow-white hair, which was fastened with a golden and jade hairpin.
The massive fox tails supported the stunning, captivating white fox girl who smiled slightly, her beauty overwhelming.
On the front of the fox girl’s hair, a brilliant red flower decorated the white, snow-like hair. The bell on her fox ears jingled with each movement, emitting a crisp sound. Moonlight spilled onto her frosty white skin and hair, but her scarlet eyes, filled with seductive and deadly charm, captivated anyone who gazed into them.
Like poison wrapped in honey, it was deadly, yet impossible to resist falling into the trap.
“Are you awake already?” Her voice, dripping with sweetness, carried an innate allure, enough to make anyone weak at the knees.

The white fox girl sat on her large tail, one hand resting on her fragrant cheek, her lips curving into a regretful smile.
“Originally, I had planned to let you sleep well tonight, but it seems that won’t be possible.”
“.....Who are you?” Vanessa sensed the dangerous aura from the white fox girl, instinctively reaching for the mithril page hammer by her side. However, a fluffy tail suddenly swept it away.
“Saintess, thank you for saving my life and for your care today~” Jiuli Xue placed one hand on her chest and slightly bowed.
Such a simple gesture caused the white fox girl’s chest to heave with a swell, her magnificent figure trembling with movement. Her seductive form, with a chest and hips that curved beautifully, was fully revealed in the short-sleeved, hemless palace robe she wore.
The bell on her fox ears jingled again, and a purple bow decorated the back of her outfit. Her milky-white thighs glistened in the moonlight, smooth and tender, and the red-laced stockings covered her legs, stretching to the top of her thighs, perfectly complementing her long, alluring limbs.
“To show my gratitude, would you come to my humble home for a chat?”
The white fox girl smiled as she watched Vanessa’s surprised and flustered expression below her, her delicate hands lightly running over the waistband of the stockings, slowly pulling them off to reveal her flawless, snowy white ankles.
The red string bell around her ankle chimed with a pleasant sound.
As the white stockings slid down, her feet, beautifully shaped like jade, were painted with a red hue matching her mesmerizing eyes, looking like exquisite rubies or delicious, shiny apple candies.
The silver moonlight climbed up her snow-white, glossy feet, and the white fox girl used her big toe and second toe to pick up a deep brown pill, bringing it to Vanessa’s lips, her side profile holding a playful and enchanting smile.
“However~ to ensure that our future master-servant relationship remains pure and without any betrayal or ill intentions, you must eat this pill in front of me.”
