After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 110 - "This Human (Husband) Is Quite Interesting"

The Cherry Blossom Festival was a traditional celebration of the Fox Clan.

Every year during this festival, the cherry blossoms would bloom in full glory. By day, the fox demons would admire the flowers, and by night, they would bask in the moonlight. The streets would be filled with fox maidens in dazzling cherry blossom-themed attire, their beauty captivating.

Of course, He Ange wasn’t here for sightseeing.

According to Xia Ranyue, the festival wasn’t just about entertainment. Two major meetings were scheduled to take place during this time: one for outsiders and one for the clan.

As the name suggested, the first meeting, the “Outsider Meeting,” was intended to host guests from other factions.

He Ange only learned this after entering the Fox Clan’s palace with Xia Ranyue. There, he saw many dignified elders from various immortal sects. It became clear that he wasn’t the only one eyeing the Fox Clan’s secret realm.

However, unlike He Ange, these elders were prominent figures in their respective sects. They had been granted the Sacred Maiden’s permission to enter the Fox Clan’s territory as honored guests.

As for He Ange...

He was an exception, having entered solely due to Xia Ranyue’s connections.

“Come to think of it, with so many sect elders here, I wonder if Shengxu Sect sent anyone... If the Sect Master sent Senior Sister Luo Yi, I’d be doomed,” He Ange muttered as he walked along the ancient cherry blossom bridge, his brow furrowing with unease.

Sensing his worry, the cherry-haired girl beside him offered some reassurance.

“Don’t worry. If Senior Sister Luo Yi comes, I’ll help you hide... Or you can go see her, and I’ll stay out of sight,” Xia Ranyue said lightly, her lips pouting slightly.

But beneath her playful tone and enchanting eyes, there was a hint of bitterness and reluctance.

She hadn’t done anything wrong, yet she had to avoid An Luo Yi.

Seeing her like this, He Ange couldn’t help but pat her head.

“I was just joking. The Sect Master probably wouldn’t send Senior Sister here... And even if she did, I wouldn’t let my little fox feel wronged,” he said with a smile.

“Really?” Xia Ranyue turned her face away, pretending not to believe him. But a faint smile crept onto her lips.

Still, she quickly swatted his hand away, letting out a small huff.

“But don’t keep patting my head. I’m already shorter than my sister, and if you keep doing that, I’ll never grow taller... Besides, this is a public place. If my sister’s people see us, your cover will be blown. What kind of servant pats their master’s head?”

“But your head is so nice to pat~” He Ange teased, clearly enjoying himself.

Xia Ranyue turned around, ready to scold him, but seeing his earnest expression, she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh.

Instead, she lightly punched his chest and sighed.

“Fine, fine! Tonight, I’ll transform into my fox form and let you pet me as much as you want, okay?”

Xia Ranyue couldn’t help but give in.

He Ange, despite not being the submissive type, had a way of tugging at a woman’s heartstrings when he played the pitiful card.

Truly, manipulative people knew how to toy with emotions!

“Miss Ranyue! The Sacred Maiden has summoned you. She’s been waiting in the Cherry Spirit Hall for quite some time,” a Fox Clan attendant hurriedly reported.

“My sister wants to see me?” Xia Ranyue’s brows furrowed, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

It seemed the inevitable had arrived.

Though she had mentally prepared herself to face her sister before returning to the clan, the reality of the situation still made her nervous. After all, she was only at late-stage Foundation Establishment, while her sister, Xia Zhiyue, was at least mid-stage Divine Transformation.

In the cultivation world, that was a power level few could rival.

“Well, good luck then,” He Ange said, waving at her with a friendly smile.

But before he could relax, Xia Ranyue grabbed his arm.

“Why are you waving at me? You’re coming with me to see my sister!”

“What?”

“The lady is correct,” the attendant added. “The Sacred Maiden specifically requested to see you as well.”

He Ange’s smile froze.

“Oh... Is that so? Haha... Ahaha...” He laughed awkwardly, though his unease was palpable. The pressure Xia Ranyue felt now weighed heavily on his shoulders as well.

He had assumed Xia Ranyue would meet with the Sacred Maiden first, chat and catch up, and then introduce him when the time was right. That way, he could gradually build rapport with the Sacred Maiden through Xia Ranyue.

But now...

The Sacred Maiden had summoned him directly.

This likely meant she already knew about him, probably because of the incident with the fox guards. And those guards had undoubtedly badmouthed him upon their return.

This was going to be awkward.

“Come on, let’s go meet my sister~” Xia Ranyue said, linking her arm with his. Her mischievous smile hinted at her amusement.

She was reminding him.

Once they met the Sacred Maiden, they would have to stick to their script.

He was her servant, and she was his—master.

…

Cherry Spirit Hall.

At the far end of the grand hall stood an ancient cherry blossom tree, its petals gently falling like snow.

Beneath the tree was a circular pavilion, where the white-haired Sacred Maiden of the Fox Clan sat gracefully.

On the table before her were an assortment of fruits, a jug of fine wine, and two cups.

The Sacred Maiden wore a light veil, her enchanting eyes serene and elegant. She picked up a cup, her gaze lowered as she sipped her wine.

Her nine snowy tails draped loosely behind her, blending seamlessly with her pristine white robes and fur. She looked like a dreamlike fox immortal, ethereal and untouchable.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Footsteps echoed from the left corridor.

The Sacred Maiden’s snow-white fox ears twitched. She raised her gaze and saw two figures approaching—a taller one and a shorter one.

The shorter figure, dressed in a cherry-colored dress, was instantly recognizable as her younger sister, Xia Ranyue.

Unlike the Sacred Maiden, who was a white fox, Xia Ranyue was a red fox, a result of their father being a red fox and their mother a white fox.

Though it had been years since they last saw each other, Xia Ranyue still had the same youthful charm. However, she had grown into a young lady, exuding a refined elegance. Her figure had also developed, adding a touch of allure to her natural cuteness.

She now possessed the seductive charm of a fox demon and the vibrant energy unique to young foxes.

As for the white-robed young man walking beside her...

The Sacred Maiden’s gaze lingered on him for a long time before she turned away, her expression growing thoughtful.

He wasn’t a fox demon, but his beauty was striking.

His delicate features were shrouded in an air of mystery, his calm demeanor making him difficult to read.

His white robes were immaculate, and his bearing was both elegant and composed. Though he appeared young, there was a depth to him, as if he carried the weight of the stars on his shoulders.

At first glance, his presence alone had captivated the Sacred Maiden.

“...”

The Sacred Maiden stared at him in silence.

But soon, her gaze shifted from his extraordinary appearance to his demeanor. Her enchanting eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint, cold smile graced her lips.

“This human... is quite interesting.”
