Chapter 2, Incarnation

Miwa took a glance and immediately realized that this woman had been disfigured by someone before being killed and disposed of here. It is unclear whom she had offended to warrant such a ruthless act against a beauty.

The beautiful woman pressed her forehead in pain and said resentfully, "You always resort to this trick! Hmph! I wonder how Sizhu manages to discipline you." However, despite her words, her expression clearly softened.

As Miwa stumbled and crawled outside, she muttered, "How excessive of the lady!" At this point, she secretly glanced at the sky, noticing that there were no dark clouds or thunder. She couldn't help but feel relieved and added, "How could they bully me, a little child, like this?" Looking at the sky once more, still seeing no signs of thunder, Miwa resentfully declared, "One day, I will take revenge! I will chop those two old foxes into pieces!"

At this moment, the beautiful woman said, "Sizhu, keep a close eye on Miwa and make sure it stays away from my children. My children are still too young and have not even transformed yet. They absolutely must not come into contact with anything foul, or it will ruin their foundation!" Upon saying this, she glared at Miwa with resentment and angrily added, "Miwa is simply too detestable; it forces me to waste a great deal of energy every day just to prevent my children from drooling! Hmph, I really want to skin it and make a hat to wear!"

Suddenly! Miwa's movements came to a halt! A bolt of lightning coursed from its head to its feet, causing Miwa's body to convulse, while thunder and fire enveloped its small form, intermittently producing crackling explosions

The more it thought about it, the more it felt that this idea was simply wonderful. Thus, it happily ran forward. After running for a while, it suddenly noticed a figure lying in the grass.

Then, Miwa sat down on the ground with a thud, gasping for breath. When it stood up, it was greatly startled and shouted, "No, no, no!" The word 'no' eventually turned into a series of high-pitched screams of 'ah, ah, ah!' However, despite its cries, it could not stop the changes happening to its body. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a woman

The bewildered child jumped beside a small stream and looked at the reflection in the water. Unable to help it, tears streamed down: "Wow! Return my fur! I do not want to become a bald fox!"

Upon seeing this, Miwa couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful woman, what a pity, what a pity!"

Miwa glared at the two of them with resentment, cursing inwardly: "Pretending!"

The mist from the big-eyed doll still spreads like a disaster. It trembles desperately, yet its mind is racing with thoughts: this trick really works! Every time I use this trick, heh heh, she just can't handle it.

At that moment, a refined male voice said: "Is the enchanting girl here to abduct the little treasures again? Come, Snow Princess, throw it over here, this time I will definitely not let it go!"

The little girl cautiously darted over, carefully burrowing herself beside the person. After observing for a while and seeing that she did not move, she extended her head and jumped in front of her

The sound came from a distance, yet it seemed to be right beside her ear. Upon hearing it, Shizhu did not scold Miwa any longer; instead, she quickly grabbed it and ran swiftly towards the depths of the valley

Miwa immediately shouted loudly upon hearing this: "We are of the same root, why must you peel off my skin!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was struck heavily on the forehead. Sizhu's voice coldly echoed: "Isn't your talent impressive? Isn't it remarkable?" At this, Miwa instantly forgot his fear, nodding repeatedly, looking as if he recognized true worth, standing tall and proud.

When it shouted "I chop! I chop! I chop chop chop! ! !" a sudden thunderbolt struck down from the dark cloud, hitting it right on the head

After a while, it got back up from the ground and shook its body. With this movement, almost in an instant, the layer of dark fur on its surface all fell rapidly to the ground. A red, fleshy fox appeared in view

Si Zhu let out a sound of surprise, loosening her grip, causing Mi Wa to fall to the ground with a thud. The fall left it dazed and disoriented. After a while, once it managed to clear its head, Mi Wa immediately stood up excitedly, patted its chest, and said: "Great Elder, you need not worry about this; Mi Wa will definitely return thriving and successful."

The woman hiding on the ground, even though Miwa is accustomed to the beauty of women, cannot help but think that she is indeed an exceptionally beautiful woman. However, this woman has several knife wounds, each about an inch long, on one side of her face, and furthermore, she has become a corpse

This person, who had just been dirtied all over by Miwa, is the fastidious and handsome Si Zhu. Si Zhu was grinning as he stared at Miwa, and for some reason, upon seeing his smile, Miwa's body began to tremble.

It halted its movements, its claws incessantly slashing downward, making chopping motions, with an expression of deep hatred on its face. Being overly serious, it failed to notice that a dark cloud had already gathered above its head

The elder shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Sizhu, it is time for Miwa to descend the mountain for her trials once again"

After a considerable amount of time, it finally shook its head, shook off the water droplets from its body, and crawled onto the shore. However, this allowed it to regain its true nature as a snow fox: it was finally clean.

After half a day, it actually moved a little, and then a voice murmured from its mouth: "What the heck! Is it not okay to say a word like that? How petty!"

The mournful cries of the lost child were long and loud, echoing endlessly. Amidst these cries, the voice of the elder sounded relieved: "At last, we can enjoy a moment of peace!" The excited voice of Shizhu chimed in: "Yes, yes, I am so happy, sob, I have been waiting for this for fifty years!" At this point, he added with resentment: "This time, the experience must not be too comfortable for it!"

Ah—help!—" Amidst the continuous screams, the lost child broke through layers of clouds, plummeting straight down to the valley thousands of meters below. It flailed its arms and legs, struggling to grasp something, but to no avail.

Neither of the two adults paid any attention to it. The elder looked at Sizhu and slowly said, "This little fellow is both foolish and self-righteous; you have had a hard time these past years." Upon hearing his kind words of comfort, Sizhu's eyes nearly turned red.

After a while, the thunder and lightning disappeared, and Miwa lay on the ground, barely breathing, her entire body covered in black fur. To the naked eye, she appeared to be a fully cooked fox, and faintly, there seemed to be a whiff of meat aroma.

Finally, a loud "bang" of a splash echoed. The dazed Miwa fell into the pool of water.

Si Zhu hammered another nail into it and said resentfully, "If I don't teach you a good lesson in this life, I, Si Zhu, will turn into a female fox!" Upon hearing this, Mi Wa squinted her eyes into little stars, thinking how interesting it would be if Brother Si Zhu really turned into a female fox. Her face was filled with longing, which only made Si Zhu even more furious.

At this moment, the Grand Elder finally turned his gaze to the top of its head and said, "Hmm, the time is almost up, the Lost Child can go now." After saying this, he kicked with his foot, striking the Lost Child in the abdomen. Then, with a heavy toss, the Lost Child flew out of the vast Fox Valley amidst piercing screams, heading straight down the mountain.

After crying for a while, the little girl sniffed her red nose and thought resentfully: "If they don't compensate, then so be it. Anyway, I will soon become a human. Once I grow up, I will run around naked! I will bring shame to all the vixens in the world! Let them all be unable to hold their heads high!"

While murmuring "what a pity," Miwa said softly, "Given how beautiful and pitiful you are, let me bury you." Although she said burying was the task at hand, it was not an easy one. She had been bound by magic and could only use a sword that had fallen to the ground to dig. After much effort, she finally managed to dig a hole. Miwa placed the young girl in the pit.

As soon as Miwa heard this sound, it silently lamented. Sure enough, the beautiful woman tossed it aside, and Miwa kicked its four legs, twisting its body in mid-air, preparing to flee in panic. Unexpectedly, a large hand accurately grasped the scruff of its neck, turning its face around to face the smiling self.

He lifted its tail and swung it fiercely in the air a few times. With his movements, Miwa excitedly shouted. Just as the atmosphere was lively, an old man's voice sounded: "Sizhu, bring Miwa over here."

Before long, he appeared in a stone cave. Upon seeing an old man with white hair and a white beard, Sizhu saluted and said, "I have met the Grand Elder." The Grand Elder nodded, glanced at the confused child being held upside down by Sizhu, and noticed its big eyes rolling curiously at him

Both Si Zhu and Mi Wa were taken aback. The Grand Elder glanced at Mi Wa and said gently, "It was originally supposed to be a while longer. However, I calculated that a good opportunity will soon arise. So after some thought, I decided to let it descend the mountain ahead of time."

Meanwhile, a phrase emerged in my mind: "The trial of transformation begins!"
