Quinn has skin hunger syndrome but never touches me. He says it’s because he loves me too much to hurt me. I believed him. But in private, he embraces his true love without hesitation, saying, ”The sorcerer said that without that pearl, she’s no different from ordinary people. Why should I care about her?” ”She’s just a fox spirit. Isn’t it disgusting to touch her? My skin hunger can only be satisfied by our dear Sophia.” Everyone thought I would continue to endure, just because he is my immortal love I’ve searched for over a thousand years. But I acted out of character, not crying or making a fuss. On the eve of his wedding, I vowed never to see him again in this life and returned to my magical realm. Who knew that a year later, he would travel thousands of miles to my realm, kneeling and begging me to return to his side. ”Quinn, I don’t want children anymore. Please, just hold me.” With the rapid development of modern technology, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become scarce. No new magical creatures have been born since the founding of the country. So now magical beings are in decline, with only a few thousand-year-old great spirits still existing in the world. But I had no awareness of shouldering the mission of reviving our kind, indulging in love instead. I wanted to be with my immortal love Lucas forever, just because I had waited for him for a thousand years. For him, I cut off contact with my clan, willing to become an ordinary person mingling in modern society. He never touched me, but he told me he wanted to have a child. To fulfill his wish to be a father, I disregarded the reproductive barrier between humans and magical beings. I found a witch doctor and exchanged half of my remaining soul to get a body that could conceive offspring with humans. Because I loved him.
The morning I learned online that he was about to marry Sophia, I hurriedly left my rented apartment, wanting to find him for an explanation. He had just promised me not long ago. As long as I was willing to give up my soul pearl to save Sophia, he would marry me. The vow of “Willing to get my true love, never to part till old age” was still ringing in my ears. Although I had lost all my magical powers, my physical skills remained. I effortlessly dodged through the crowd, shuttling between high-rise buildings to his villa. Standing at the door, I had just pushed it open a crack when I saw him holding Sophia in his arms, pinching her face with an affectionate expression. ”Alright, still throwing a tantrum? I’ve said that my wife can only be our dear Sophia.” ”She’s just a useless creature who can’t even have children. She doesn’t even have a modern identity. Who would marry her?” Sophia pushed away his hand and pouted, “Who knows if that witch will whisper sweet nothings in your ear and make you change your mind?” ”After all, someone used her to get rid of all the competitors and climb to this position.” The man who used to forbid everyone from discussing this matter, and would become furious if anyone mentioned it, was now not angry at all. He coaxed gently, “I used her for the sake of us and our child.” ”That Quinn is so stupid. I casually said I would marry her, and she foolishly handed over her soul pearl.” ”The sorcerer said that without that pearl, she’s no different from ordinary people. Why should I care about her?” ”She’s just a fox spirit. Isn’t it disgusting to touch her? My skin hunger can only be satisfied by our dear Sophia.” As he spoke, he hugged her tightly, his hands roaming inappropriately. Seeing his shameless behavior, Sophia giggled coyly, “Lucas, you’re so bad.” I was certain Lucas knew I was there because he was looking directly into my eyes as he said it, the corners of his mouth curling into a malicious arc. He was deliberately saying it for me to hear, revealing his true colors to me.
I could no longer bear to hear the sounds of the couple’s flirting and playing. So, it turns out he never touched me because I was a magical being. He found me disgusting. If that’s the case, why didn’t he just say so? No matter how painful it would be, I wouldn’t have humiliated myself. I would have left. I wandered away in a daze, bumping into a maid. I looked up at the newcomer. It was Sophia’s personal maid, who was also her good friend. She was holding a snow-white cat, with a haughty expression. When she saw it was me, she looked at me with disdain and sneered, “Oh, it’s Miss Quinn. Sorry, I bumped into you.” After saying that, she nodded perfunctorily at me. In the past, as Lucas’s vice president, I had schemed for him and acted as his pawn to clear obstacles for him. Now that he was firmly seated in a high position, these two roles of mine were not of much use to him anymore. So he suggested removing my position, letting me stay by his side to bear children for him. Out of trust in him, I agreed. So, in the eyes of most people, I was just a nameless orphan girl of unknown origin. Except for my former subordinates, not many people respected me. Moreover, to satisfy his desire to be a father, I disregarded the reproductive barrier between humans and magical beings. I found a witch doctor and endured a year of soul-stripping pain, only succeeding today. Originally, I wanted to tell him this good news this morning. I was too emotionally confused to care about her rudeness. I tried to walk past her. But she didn’t intend to let me go, blocking my path. She held up the cat in her hands and brought it close to my face, her eyes flashing with malice. ”Don’t go, Miss Fox. Look, this is the pet Mr. Lucas gave to our dear Sophia.” ”I specially brought it out for a walk today.” I knew what she meant. She just wanted to show off Lucas’s love for Sophia and make me see the situation clearly. This kind of inexplicable malice from humans is sometimes truly incomprehensible to magical beings. If I didn’t go along with her, I was afraid she would pester me for a long time. I prepared to humor her and praise the cat a few times before leaving. Just as I was about to open my mouth to look at the cat, I froze.
The kitten opened its round, big eyes and affectionately reached out its chubby paw towards me. Perhaps it sensed that we were both feline creatures. The red silk ribbon fluttering around its neck caught all my attention. That ribbon was the one I had given to Lucas. A thousand years ago, Lucas’s previous life, Luke, had saved me when I was on the verge of death, being hunted by spirit hunters. At that time, I was a little fox who had just started cultivating and couldn’t transform into human form yet. And he was just a sickly scholar. Unlike the stories in novels where fox spirits repay kindness, I ended up causing his death. In my memory, the meandering blood flowed from under him, staining the blood-red ribbon. This ribbon, for me, was filled with warm and painful memories of the past, and also contained half of my soul. The scene of the couple’s wanton mockery flashed through my mind again. My nails were almost embedded in my palms, but I felt nothing. He could use and humiliate me, he could marry someone else. But he actually casually gave away the ribbon I had cherished for a thousand years! He clearly knew what it meant to me! My eyes gradually became deep and dark, as if they could suck people into hell. The maid saw that I wasn’t speaking and secretly felt proud. She said as if unintentionally, “This ribbon, Mr. Lucas used to wear it every day, but he gave it to Sophia as soon as she asked.” ”You can see that Sophia is not like some…” Before she could finish speaking, I calmly reached out my hand. Then. I grabbed her neck. Too noisy, I didn’t like it. I casually picked her up by the collar, ignoring her struggles, and threw her into the pool like throwing away garbage. It didn’t matter if someone discovered it, there were no cameras here anyway. The little cat in front of me seemed not to understand what had happened and came to my feet on all fours, rubbing against the hem of my skirt as if seeking attention. I looked at it for a moment, silently picked it up, and left.
