Digital fanart based in the novel Heaven Official's Blessing. Xie Lian wears the half-crying, half-smiling mask and holds the blade Fang Xin in the midst of a desolate field with scattered broken weapons. Right behind him, a giant gold cross fox with nine tails stands with raised hackles, wearing a white smiling fox mask. The sky is dark with smoke from a big fire in the background.

Prompt: Mystery

Xie Lian arrived to the ruined battlefield in search of resentful souls and found nothing but a single fox spirit that had already devoured them all. The jiuweihu wore a mask that Xie Lian understood it as a sign of subservience.

What a pity, but it'd do.

This piece was vaguely inspired by the first arc of the c-novel Bai Yao Pu. A soldier boy saves an ash fox from death, and they become friends. Years later, the fox sacrifices his tail to save the now grown general from execution, and eats the spirits of all his victims to spare him from karma.

Bai Yao Pu has a donghua and a manhua.
