Accidentally Married a Fox God

Chapter 6: I Will Smite You

In all the thousands of years he had been alive, this was probably the lowest point for Bai Qingyue.

Just as he was about to ascend to godhood, the pride of his fox clan, the fox clan's sovereign lord received his lightning strike tribulation and, instead of completing his ascension, descended down to earth.

What's more, in the process of his failure, one of his nine tails had evaporated. It would take another 1000 years for that tail to grow back again...

He found himself all bloodied up in a clump of grass, in his fox form, the immense pain of the lightning strike still echoing through his body. So damaged was he from this experience, he laid helplessly in the dirt, unable to even move his limbs at all.

Unfortunately for him, his bad luck had not run out just yet.

A demon hunter by the name of Zhou Shang, just happened to be passing by after wiping out a weasel demon in the nearby village. As the senior huntsman trotted on his steed across the barren hills, he came across the fox, apparently dead.

Zhou Shang dismounted and approached the animal, on the lookout for any peculiarities.

It didn't take long for Zhou Shang to deduce that this was a fox demon!

This was a most rare and fortunate discovery for the hunter. Those demons were hard to come by, thanks to their tricks, wit and charm, they easily managed to outmanoeuvre most demon hunters.

Zhou Shang unclasped a satchel he carried on his steed and took out a pair of jade bangles. They weren't just any jade bangles, but power sealers. Especially crafted for dealing with high level demons.

He grabbed the fox demon, slipping a bangle onto each of its paws, just to be on the safe side, and got back on his horse. He picked up his speed to reach the nearest Taoist monastery. There was a notice board for demon hunters about the Ever Eclipse monastery looking for live specimens and corpses alike of demonic entities to better practice their spells.

"I will make a quick buck with you." Zhou Shang declared with satisfaction as he petted the behind of the dead fox.

The fur was so silky and soft to the touch that if he had not known what large profit, he could gain by selling it, he probably would have probably made a nice coat out of this fox.

Bai Qingyue had never been so humiliated in his life!

There he was, being dragged around like a sack of potatoes by this wretched human to be sold off like a piece of meat.

And he dared pat his behind!

His behind!!!!

In order to truly understand the horror of this scenario, one would know that Bai Qingyue had been alive for thousands of years. He was the pearl of his tribe, the next leader of the clan. His strength immeasurable. His nobility unquestioned. In fact, as sovereign lord there were very few he would ever have to answer to. With his fast cultivation, and rich upbringing, Bai Qingyue quickly became one of the most powerful Celestial foxes in the heaven realm.

That's right. He was no mere fox demon.

He was a true nine tailed celestial fox from the heaven realm.

This was, in fact Bai Qingyue's first time on earth. The only humans he had ever interacted with were those of noble bearing whom, against all odds, through hard work and dedication, have managed to ascend to immortality and join the ranks of immortals and gods in the heaven realm.

Those immortal humans were sages, full of wisdom and dignity. They had truly given him a positive impression of their society, yet there he was, with that buffoon who mistook him not only for a fox demon, but a dead one at that.

Bai Qingyue was seething with rage but was still unable to move or make a sound. He had no choice but to slowly recuperate until some of his powers returned.

And the first thing I shall do when I am able, is to smite you! he thought venomously, already plotting his sweet revenge over the unsuspecting demon hunter as he glared daggers at his back.
