Foxes Can’t Be Trusted

“ARGHHHHH!!”

Dohwi stomped on Daebum’s back, scowling fiercely.

“Quiet. I said be quiet.”

The man’s weak body felt like his spine would snap at any moment if Dohwi applied any more pressure. As Dohwi pressed down harder, Daebum whimpered and shook his head in terror.

“P-Please, spare me! Spare me!”

“Shut up. Who said I was going to kill you?”

“Oh, sir... Please. I’m training to become a nine-tailed fox, following in the footsteps of my shaman aunt.”

As Daebum pleaded, rubbing his hands together, Dohwi looked down thoughtfully at his prone back.

“I have no interest in that beautiful lady... I’m dedicating myself to becoming a monk....”

This fox instantly realized from Dohwi’s fleeting glances that he deeply cherished Sohwa. Of course, the thick scent of Dohwi on her also played a part.

“I know you two are already together, and I, I would never...!”

“You should have left this mountain if you knew that.”

“ACK!!!”
