One day in the sky, one year on the earth.

During the forty-nine years when Luo Sha left, I encountered the Jade-faced Fox.

I have never felt that I owed Luo Sha. It was true then, and it is true now.

It is widely known that Laojun was looking for Luo Sha. He told everyone that Luo Sha, in order to save the Bull Demon King, agreed to go to the Heavenly Court and blow wind for him for forty-nine years.

What does it mean to "blow wind for forty-nine years"? Can't they explain it more clearly?

When I first heard this, I was confused too. At that time, I wanted to rush to the Heavenly Court, but after careful consideration, I didn't dare to act!

I had just suffered a defeat and was badly beaten by the Heavenly Court. Now they released me. Should I go there and humiliate myself again?

So, I didn't dare to act at all.

As a result, rumors spread. They said that the Bull Demon King was selfish and had betrayed the other six demon kings in order to save his own life.

"Even his wife was sold to the Heavenly Court to fan Tai Shang Laojun."

During that time, I suffered a lot. Whenever I heard people whispering behind my back, I felt they were talking about me. I wanted to explain, but it was in vain. After all, the outcome was as such—out of the seven demon kings, only I remained!

During that painful time, I met the Jade-faced Fox.

She and her father were both orphans from the time of the enfeoffment of gods. Back then, Daji, under the orders of Nüwa, seduced King Zhou. Later, Nüwa abandoned Daji, not only abandoning her but also abandoning the entire fox clan.

The Eternal Fox King, leading his daughter, the Jade-faced Fox, had been barely surviving. When he saw me, the Eternal Fox King entrusted his daughter to me.

By that time, I was no longer a demon king but a traitor who was despised and betrayed by everyone. However, the Eternal Fox King did not despise me. He still regarded me as a hero.

"A hero?" I murmured to myself, "Where can I find such a hero like me?"

"The sun is oblique at noon, and the moon wanes when full." The Eternal Fox King said to me, "If a person has never experienced failure, they will never know how vast the sky and earth are. It's good to be as bold as a young calf that fears no tiger, but what if it gets eaten by a tiger? Our fox clan, relying on ancestral Yin techniques, always looked down upon others. But what happened later? After Nüwa abandoned us, we became rats crossing the street. After drifting for so many years, I have only come to one conclusion: Only those who have experienced failure know the importance of being cautious, and only those who are cautious can survive in this crazy world!"

At that time, the Jade-faced Fox was still inexperienced. The Eternal Fox King held the Jade-faced Fox's hand and told her that I was her husband and master, and that she should stay by my side and serve me faithfully for the rest of her life.

Not long after, the Eternal Fox King died.

I took the wealth of the Eternal Fox King and went into seclusion with the Jade-faced Fox, thinking that we would live out our days in obscurity, never caring about worldly matters. However, Luo Sha came back.
