Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife

Chapter 6 - I Will Smite You

At a nearby region, prior to the incident.

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 into a High God, the pride of his clan, the Celestial Fox clan's Sovereign Lord, received his lightning strike tribulation, the trial which every immortal and godly being must undergo in order to soar higher in the ranks of heavenly deities. However, instead of completing his ascension, Bai Qingyue descended to earth.

To add insult to injury, in the process of this apparent failure, one of his nine tails had evaporated. It would take another 1,000 years for his tail to grow back again.

He awoke to find himself covered in his own blood and collapsed in a clump of grass in a fox form, the immense pain of the lightning strike tribulation still reverberating through his body. So damaged was he from this experience, that he laid helplessly in the dirt, unable to make his limbs so much as twitch.

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

An infamous demon hunter by the name of Zhou Shang just happened to be passing by after wiping out a Weasel Demon in a nearby village. As the senior hunter trotted on his steed across the barren hills, he came across the form of a fox laying still among the grass, apparently dead.

Zhou Shang dismounted and approached the animal slowly, 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 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 outmaneuver even the most skilled demon hunters.

Zhou Shang unclasped the binding of the saddlebag upon his horse and reached inside, taking from within a pair of jade bangles. They weren't just any jade bangles though. These trinkets were runed with powerful charms, capable of sealing the powers of demons, even ones of the highest ranking.

He grabbed the Fox Demon, slipping a bangle over each of its paws, just to be on the safe side, and got back on his horse. He gave the steed a hard kick and rode swiftly towards the nearest Taoist Monastery. While passing by that very same monastery earlier in his travels, he had noticed a sign posted on their warrant board seeking Demon Hunters. It had asked that any live specimens, or corpses of demonic entities, be brought to Ever Eclipse monastery for the monks to use in the learning and betterment of their spells. A negotiable price made the offer all the more tempting.

"I will make a quick buck with you." Zhou Shang declared with satisfaction as he gave the hindquarters of the 'dead' Fox Demon a few slaps.

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

Meanwhile, the "fox demon", Bai Qingyue, gnashed his fangs with fury. It goes without saying that he 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.

Worse yet, he had dared to slap his behind!

His behind!

In order to truly understand the horror of this scenario, one would have to know that Bai Qingyue had been alive for over ten thousand years. He was the pearl of his tribe, the leader of the clan. His strength immeasurable, his nobility unquestioned. In fact, as Sovereign Lord, there were very few entities 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 Heavenly Realm.

That's right. He was no mere Fox Demon.

He was a true nine tailed Celestial Fox from the Heavenly 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, had managed to ascend to immortality and join the ranks of immortals and gods alike.

Those immortal humans were sages, full of wisdom and dignity. They had truly given him a positive impression of their society, yet here he was, with this buffoon who mistook him not only for a mere 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 against the unsuspecting Demon Hunter while glaring daggers at the man's back.
