After Jiuyue's explanation, the elders finally understood the meaning of "Monster".
It was a title acquired later in life and not an innate race; when they first met, Duan Mingyuan worked at a major company in Yunlong City and held a very legitimate citizen identity.
What was even more bizarre was that Mingyuan didn't seem to have a habit of eating humans in his daily life.
"So you falsely accused someone of being a Monster!"
The mother-in-law's face hardened, and she glared at Jiuyue fiercely, frightening the little fox into shrinking her neck.
This was the first time in her fox life that she had seen someone accuse her lover of being a Monster, and that person was her own child. After so many years apart, why did she feel like her child had become somewhat less bright?
"... Because I think Monsters are the most powerful, that's why."
Jiuyue muttered softly.
Thanks to his mother-in-law, Mr. Mingyuan learned for the first time why Jiuyue had spread rumors.
