Under the hot sun, a cyan flash quickly pa.s.ses across people’s eyes. Old Mr. Hong shakes, trying to make a tough decision between telling the secret and saving the villagers’ lives, and then, he sees the small cyan fox on the top of the wall.

　　The fox with cyan fur must be the nine-tailed fox king. Old Mr. Hong, who is in his seventies and eighties, doesn’t know how he can remember this sentence, which was said by an old man in Tao’s Village when he was a child.

　　Hong, who has been painting foxes all his life, knows about special pigment, but he never thought he would see a cyan fox in his lifetime. He also suspected before, “Is there really any cyan fox being the king in this world?”

　　Hong’s two hands are trembling. Sakurako Asada follows his eyes. She sees a small cyan fox, standing in the low wall of Hong’s home. From far and near, the ochre mud wall, the blue and high sky over its head, and the green distant mountains behind it, form an ink painting of Huaxia style that Nihonese love most… But these colors are not comparable with the cyan of the fox’s fur. With the sun around it, its cyan looks so transparent and pure, just like the fine silk. And its eyes seem to be communicating with people directly.

　　Sakurako Asada holds her breath. She has never seen such a beautiful fox, especially the legendary king in the Country of Green Mountains. Is it really a coincidence that the fox appears in this village?

　　The little cyan fox nods slightly, being indifferent. For this moment, it is not as poor as Lin Luoran saw it in the underground world, and not as an imp as he was at Lin’s family. The fox looks cool and n.o.ble. The Terran like Sakurako Asada, in its eyes, is a gra.s.s of the earth and a piece of clay at the foot, which is not worth trampling or looking at.

　　The appearance of the fox is strange. The three Nihonese men left in the yard pull out their Katanas.

　　“Back off!” Sakurako Asada suppresses the joy of the heart.

　　“Mr. Hong, you are not needed now.” Sakurako Asada bows to him. This fox is drawn out by this Huaxia old man deliberately pretending to be silly, “You are not needed,” she said very politely, but in fact, she has the intention to kill him. The fox has shown up, naturally, they no longer need this stubborn old man.

　　Just then, the cyan fox gives a sneer and jumps off the wall.

　　Sakurako Asada pauses, “catch it!”
