So the next day, after breakfast, she went up the mountain with Huang Fugui and Bawang. Xiao Lingfeng didn't need her for chores at home. Standing there walking back and forth was quite a nuisance.

You might as well find something to do yourself.

"Because of the cold weather and the heavy snowfall, the mountains were covered in a blanket of white. Huang Fugui led Jian Ning, speeding along the mountain road at breakneck speed."

The Overlord was just as fast as it. Despite its large size, it was also very agile; that's the benefit of cultivation.

Since there was no one on the mountain, Jian Ning followed Huang Fugui on its sword, flying all the way to a ravine halfway up the mountain. Only then did it stop, lowering its head and sniffing around.

"What's wrong? Is that fox around here?"

Jian Ning dismounted from the Ruoshui Sword and looked around. The location was good. The cold wind couldn't reach her. The snow on the ground wasn't very thick, but she couldn't see any signs of animal activity.

It must be nearby; I can smell it, but there's no entrance here, and I can't find where it is.

Huang Fugui circled the mountain hollow twice before suddenly looking up at the cliff face. Jian Ning, with her sharp eyes, spotted what appeared to be a cave entrance behind a large tree on the cliff, and leaped up.

"Fugui, come up, this is it." The cave entrance wasn't large, and was mostly hidden by big trees. Huang Fugui, who was below, couldn't see this place, so he was overlooked.

"I knew it, this guy really knows how to pick a spot."

"You wait downstairs, Overlord. My master and I will go in and check. If that fox runs out, catch it and kill it, it's alright."

No sooner had Huang Fugui finished speaking than a snow-white fox darted out of the cave with incredible speed.

If Jian Ning hadn't kept her attention focused on the cave entrance, she might not have noticed it had escaped.

With a flick of his wrist, a large fishing net flew out.

The net caught the fox perfectly. It struggled desperately, but the net only tightened around it.

It started howling in a panic. Judging from its voice, it was probably still a minor.

Jian Ning retrieved the fishing net. This wasn't an ordinary fishing net; it was a yellow-grade spiritual artifact. So, for a fox that wasn't even a spirit beast, once caught in the net, escape was impossible.

"Hehe, no matter how clever you are, you can't escape my master's grasp."

Huang Fugui swaggered over, his head bobbing. He was using the fox-riding-tiger-power tactic quite well; usually, this fox was too fast and knew the terrain well.

Its white fur blends perfectly with the snow, allowing it to escape Huang Fugui's claws countless times. This had driven the dog to despair, but today, with its owner's help, catching it was a piece of cake.

Jian Ning lifted the fishing net closer and finally saw what the fox inside looked like. It looked no different from an ordinary fox, except that its fur was exceptionally soft and shiny white.

And it does indeed have one and a half tails behind it. It's unclear whether this is a mutation or, as Huang Fugui said, a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Its wet, dark eyes looked at Jian Ning and let out two pitiful cries. Jian Ning's heart immediately softened. She had absolutely no resistance to these fluffy little animals.

"I'm letting you out, but you can't run around. Otherwise, if Huang Fugui catches you, I can't control what he does to you."

The fox blinked its big eyes and nodded, seemingly understanding, which delighted Jian Ning. With a gentle flick of her wrist, she retrieved the fishing net.

The fox didn't run away as expected. It timidly approached Jian Ning and rubbed against her leg a couple of times. It seemed quite affectionate.

Huang Fugui didn't care whether it was cute or not. He jumped over in a flash and slapped the little fox to the ground with one paw.

She said angrily, "You cunning fox, you've been quite good at running us around these past few days. Now that my master is here, you're acting all innocent. You've really got a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

The fox let out two pitiful cries, showing none of the cunning that Huang Fugui had described.

"Alright, Fugui, why did you catch it? I think it's mutated, even though it has one and a half tails. It's probably not a nine-tailed celestial fox."

There wasn't a trace of spiritual energy emanating from it. The spiritual energy in this world is so thin; do you think this is the cultivation world? Let's let it go.

"No, Master, you don't know, it has innate supernatural abilities. Otherwise, how could it have escaped last time?"

"Oh, I know that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's innate ability is charm. Can you show me how to use it, little guy?" Although Jian Ning asked this, she didn't really believe Huang Fugui's words.

To everyone's surprise, the little fox let out a soft cry, as if in response. With a swift movement, the fox vanished, and in its place appeared a beautiful woman in ancient attire, exceptionally beautiful.

Her eyes sparkled, her cheeks were like peach blossoms. Every smile and frown had a unique charm.

If a man without self-control saw this, he would definitely pounce on him immediately.

"See, Master, I wasn't wrong, was I? It does have supernatural powers, and you still don't believe me?"

Huang Fugui swiped at her with his claws, and the beautiful woman vanished instantly, leaving only the little fox looking at them with an innocent expression.

“That’s good. If you have nowhere to go, come with me.” Jian Ning bent down and picked up the little fox. It obediently stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Jian Ning’s hand, indicating its agreement.

“Master, I brought you here not so you could take it under your wing.”

Besides lying, what other skills does it have? I sought it out because it had a resurrection fruit in its mouth. When I caught it, it hid it.

This Resurrection Fruit is a rare treasure even in the cultivation world, especially effective for spirit beasts and divine beasts. That's why Huang Fugui kept pursuing it.

"Do you really have the fruit that Fugui mentioned? Where did you find it? Is there only one?" Jian Ning asked gently, looking down at the little fox in her arms.

"Yes, but I don't want to give it to this bad cat; it scratches me so badly."

The little fox suddenly lowered its head and bit Jian Ning's finger, and a contract pattern slowly formed in the air.

They then entered Jian Ning's and the little fox's bodies respectively. Then, a childish, sweet voice appeared in Jian Ning's mind.

"You really are a nine-tailed celestial fox!" The moment the contract was successfully signed, the little fox's identity information immediately appeared in Jian Ning's mind.

'It's hard for her to believe. What's wrong with this world? Is it connected to the cultivation world? Otherwise, how could the cubs of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox appear here?'
