Chapter 1: Little Human, I Hear You... (1)

Footsteps could be heard in the middle of the night. In the remote area of Qingqiu, seeing men in hiking uniforms around wasn't out of place at all.

Pain spread throughout his body and the intense pain caused him to heave for breath.

Zhao Yichen had no idea what time it was, but given how dark the place was, he assumed that it was around midnight. The coldness of the night seeped through his bloody clothes, as his feet sunk into the mud, fully aware that he was being dragged while he struggled to keep his consciousness.

He could taste the metallic blood in his mouth as he took a deep breath. His sides were aching terribly, no doubt that they managed to break his ribs.

He could hear the laughter of the men who had kidnapped him as they dragged his badly beaten body through the forest in the middle of nowhere. He just got back from the States a week ago and he couldn't believe his luck when the car he was in was hijacked along the way.

Ha. Zhao Yichen had no doubt that this was arranged by his second uncle and his other cousins. To think that they would target him as soon as he stepped back into Jiang City.

Were they really that desperate to eliminate their competition for the succession of the next heir of the family?

Ah, he was about to die miserably anyway. What was the point in wondering who the perpetrator of this crime against him was?

His whole body was aching and Zhao Yichen was sure that his right shoulder had been dislocated after a week of full torture in the hands of these men.

"Don't worry, Fourth Master. We are about to arrive at our destination soon." Zhao Yichen heard one of his kidnappers say with a malicious tone in his voice.

"If you were really that smart as some people claim you to be, you shouldn't have come back to Jiang City and offend our boss." Another one followed with laughter. There was no doubt that they were truly looking down on him.

Zhao Yichen sneered in his heart and cursed his second uncle and his devious cousins to the heavens. Wasn't it enough that they instigated and killed his father twenty years ago and now they want to kill him too?

It wasn't like he wasn't aware of the danger that awaits his return when he decided to come back from abroad. But with his ailing grandfather's delicate condition, how could he ignore the old man's wish?

He had decided to come a week early before his estimated arrival but who would have thought that there was a rat in his group who dared to sell the information of his whereabouts.

There were only a few people who knew that he would come early. This only happened because he lowered his guard and trusted the wrong person, but who could it be?

Zhao Yichen didn't have many followers, in fact, he only had a couple of men serving under him. He had treated everyone with respect and equally so for someone to betray him like this, what could be the reason?

Still, Zhao Yichen swore that if there was a chance that he survived today, he would make them pay for their sins and betrayal. However, with his right eye swollen, he could barely see where they were going and he didn't have enough strength to even lift a finger.

His whole body ached so much that he was at the point of almost losing his consciousness anytime soon. This was the first time he was subjected to this kind of torture and he briefly wondered if this was the same thing they had done to his father decades ago. His father's remains were never found and he was presumed dead by everyone since his disappearance.

"We are here." He heard one of them say before his whole body was thrown forward. Zhao Yichen grunted but refused to admit defeat as his eyes flashed with determination and defiance.

He refused to accept that he would die like this. Never like this. Not until he claimed justice for his father's death.

"Fourth Master, you can only blame yourself for being stupid." They laughed at him. "Do you really think that the Old Master is still capable of protecting you? Aren't you just stupid?"

Zhao Yichen pressed his lips into a thin line, forcing himself to sit up. His eyes burned with intense hate and despair. He knew, of course. He also knew the danger that awaited his return. It was just that he didn't expect someone close to him would betray him and sell him to his enemies.

"It's alright, Fourth Master. You won't have to suffer for too long. Our master was quite pleased already." Zhao Yichen heard before a single gunshot could be heard, breaking the silence of the night.

His body dropped on the ground as he started to bleed to death. The four men who kidnapped him seemed pleased with the current state as they casually sat on the boulders surrounding the ground he slumped on.

Their constant chatter and laughter reached his ears, but their voices started to tune down as his consciousness started to slip from his grasp.

To die like this… he couldn't accept it at all! There were so many things he had yet to accomplish. He cannot die just yet!

'If there're any deities out there who could hear me, please help me this once. I'll give everything that I have in return!' He screamed in his head, knowing that it was impossible. There couldn't be anyone who could save him from death anymore.

'Little human, I hear you…' A voice of a woman echoed in mind, which made Zhao Yichen wonder that he was losing his mind. 'I'm not a deity. At least, not yet, but I can help you…"

'Tell me you agree, Contractor and I shall grant your wish.' The woman's voice had a seductive tone lacing it. It was like she was just next to him, whispering sweet words right in his ear.

This my first time writing a fantasy romance, so forgive me if there would be hiccups along the way as I am used on writing contemporary romance. However, if you're here expecting for sappy romance scene, this novel might not be your cup of tea. Regardless, please give my book a try and see if you would like it.

Chapter 2: Little Human, I Hear You... (2)

Not a deity, she said, but did Zhao Yichen have any other choice at the moment? The possibility of entering a contract with a demon crossed his mind but what else could he do to save himself in this situation?

'I agree.' Zhao Yichen replied mentally. 'So please, save me.'

Since it had already turned out this way, he could only accept the consequences of his action by making a deal with the devil.

A sinister laughter was followed, as if she was deeply pleased with his answer.

"Then bleed more for me, my sweet human and I shall grant you your wish."

F*ck. What did she mean he had to bleed more? Couldn't she see that he was already dying from blood loss? She was really a devil, wasn't she?

As his blood seeped into the ground below him, the ancient seal, where he happened to lie on started to crack. An earthquake followed, startling the four men who kidnapped Zhao Yichen. They struggled to keep standing and held onto the boulders for support.

"What's going on?! Why's the ground shaking?"

This wasn't the first time they were here. In fact, they were already accustomed to the mountainous terrain as people rarely came to this place. Many travelers were lost here, unable to return home. That was why it was normal to see dead bodies and skeletons in this area.

What better place to hide Zhao Yichen's remains? This place was perfect.

A gust of wind followed, with the blurry fog, they could hardly see a fox spirit emerging from the ground where Zhao Yichen's limp body lies. Zhao Yichen struggled to open his eyes but with his remaining energy finally depleted, he allowed himself to succumb into the darkness.

So in the end, he would die? He shouldn't have put his faith in a demon. How naive he was to fall under such a trick again? Shouldn't he have learned his lesson the first time he was betrayed, leading him into this situation?

As if weeping for his impending death, the dark sky allowed the heavy rain to pour down, drenching everyone and everything in its wake.

On the other side of the Qingqiu mountain, the fox spirit possessed the dead body of an eighteen year old woman who was pushed to death by her cousins. Her eyes suddenly opened and the fox spirit found herself lying on some rock below the cliff.

How many centuries had it been since she was sealed by those hateful members of the Li family? The fox spirit wasn't sure, but she didn't want to think of the past at this moment.

Her legs were fractured, even her right arm was broken. Using the faint magic the fox spirit had left, she healed the wounds and injuries of her host. This body will do for now. So long as this body wouldn't reject her, there shouldn't be any problem with her mingling with humans.

She slowly stood up and looked at the clothes she was wearing as she tried to delve into the memories of the poor girl who had recently lost her life. Suddenly, foreign memories that didn't belong to her flooded her mind. The fox spirit then realized that the world this woman lived in was far from the life she had in the past.

The dead woman's name was Shen Minyao. As the rain soaked her entire body wet, a sinister smile crossed on the lips of the gentle girl who was considered by everyone as trash.

Ah, this girl was so stupid. How can she allow other people to bully her, leading to her death? The fox spirit thought. Since she had now possessed Shen Minyao's body, she would make sure to get even with all the people who hurt and bullied the girl in the past.

Thankfully, Shen Minyao's body was untouched and because she had just breathed her last breath before the fox spirit possessed her body, it was easier for the fox to ingrain herself into this human body. The fox had a snippet of how to live in this modern world and was curious to see it with her own eyes.

'Interesting,' she chuckled inwardly. 'It seems like this old lady needs to learn more about this world.'

However, before anything else, she should return to that place to save the human who made the contract with her. She might not be a benevolent spirit like the other mountain guardians, but since the man released her from the seal, she owed him her freedom.

"Ah, I probably should head back to my new Contractor." She mumbled to herself, a little surprised that Shen Minyao had a nice voice.

"Well then. Let's see if this body could keep up with my pace." Shen Minyao flexed her right hand until long nails were unsheathed. A foxy smile crossed her lips and she leaped from one branch to another, making her way back to the place where her fox spirit was sealed.

When she returned, she saw the same four men hovering over Zhao Yichen's half dead body, trying to see if he was truly dead this time.

"He's dead right? Boss won't be pleased if we don't make sure he's dead."

"Well, we can just put another bullet through his head to make sure." The other one laughed, kicking the side of Zhao Yichen's body but the latter didn't respond. His eyes were blank, slowly slipping to his death.

"Now, now. I can't allow you to do that to my Contractor." The fox spirit in Shen Minyao's body said, revealing her presence to the four men.

The four men were confused to see a young woman here and couldn't understand what she was saying. Was she one of those who lost their minds and went crazy because they couldn't find the way out of Mountain Qingqiu?
