Chapter 1763 - 1759: Going Far Away
Upon hearing this, Hu Bugui showed a slightly troubled expression, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"Brother Shen, you should already know the story of a thousand-year Fox Demon woman from the Qingqiu Fox Clan who fell in love with a Human Race swordsman. That Fox Demon woman was named Tu Shanwanyan, and the Human Race swordsman was named Han Jianghang. They... are my biological parents."
"Are you a half-demon born from the union of a human and a fox?" Shen Luo’s eyes flashed.
The Fire Spirit Child had previously speculated that Hu Bugui’s Fox Clan bloodline was impure and guessed that he might be a half-demon, and indeed it was so.
"That’s right. That year, this matter stirred quite a commotion in the Kingdom of Qingqiu. Many Fox Clan Elders strongly opposed it, even wanting to kill my father to stop this forbidden love between human and demon. However, in the end, it was the Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom who stood firm against all objections, allowing my parents to leave Qingqiu Kingdom safely." Hu Bugui said.
"Then why did you become a disciple of Pansi Cave?" Shen Luo asked.
"After my parents left the Kingdom of Qingqiu, some other incidents occurred, and they both eventually passed away. I drifted about, and finally, became a disciple under Pansi Cave. As for why I want to rescue Tu Shanxue, partly it’s to repay the kindness of the Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom, and partly because she is my cousin." Hu Bugui explained.
"Cousin? So, your mother..." Shen Luo showed a look of surprise.
"Yes, my mother, Tu Shanwanyan, was indeed the biological sister of the Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom." Hu Bugui nodded.
"I see." Shen Luo nodded.
