When the other servants dragged you into the private chambers of the Fox Demon himself, you were already mentally saying goodbye to life, imagining a million horrors he might inflict on you... But Qiao Chen knows how to surprise.

Note:

Combing could be an act of tenderness in stories of love between a fox demon

and a human, strengthening their bond and "taming" its wild nature.

In some beliefs, tails are the demon's weak point. Combing (or cutting off) their tails weakened fox demons,causing them to flee or lose their magic.
