Sitting down beside the bed with the nine-tailed fox in hand, Jun Shutong made a reassuring gesture to the old lady and Yi, and the two nodded and left.
"Sister, do you still remember your parents?"
“Also, do you know where you come from?”
When his mind returned, the Nine-Tailed Fox's thoughts fell into memories when he heard his "sister" asking about his parents.
Two months ago, her parents told her that their time was running out and they would be leaving soon. They could no longer pamper her and she would have to rely on herself for everything.
In order for her to survive, the couple used their spiritual power to transform her into a human form in advance.
The spiritual energy in Tianxing Continent is thin, and it is very difficult for the mysterious beasts to cultivate into human form.
Even a spiritual beast like the nine-tailed white fox would need at least a thousand years to transform. If it had poor aptitude, the transformation would take even longer.
According to the age of the Nine-tailed Fox in terms of the mysterious beast, she is still a baby cub. Letting her transform prematurely will inevitably affect her mind, so even if she transforms into a human form, she will not be able to speak.
If it weren't for the systematic potion, it would take at least another five hundred years for her to speak.
The first time she wore human clothes, the first time she walked out of the Mysterious Beast Forest, and the first time she ate delicious food all made the Nine-tailed Fox curious about the outside world.
With the speed of a mysterious beast, the nine-tailed white fox quickly sneaked into the human city. Because she could not speak and had never dealt with humans, she was tempted by a meat bun and knocked unconscious by the slave-catching team, and then sold to an auction house.
"I, I don't have any parents. They are gone."
"I'm all alone now, woo woo."
Thinking of his parents abandoning him, the nine-tailed white fox couldn't help but shed tears. Due to his identity as a fox, he hesitated several times and finally did not say anything.
She didn't say anything, and Jun Shutong didn't ask. He already knew that she was an orphan, so he would just protect her from now on.
The room was quickly cleaned up, and after the maids left, the nine-tailed white fox immediately stood up and knelt in front of Jun Shutong.
"Thank you for saving me, Miss."
"You are my savior. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
"Your name is Yingying?"
"Yes, Miss, my last name is Hu, you can just call me Yingying."
"If you don't like it, you can just give it a name."
"No need, Yingying is very good."
"Since you have no family, follow me from now on and make this place your home."
"Thank you, Miss."
Jun Shutong helped her up and patted her hands.
You won’t say, I really want to say, this smooth touch feels so comfortable.
[Wow, this little hand is so soft and smooth, even better than my mother's.]
I don't know what skincare products I use, but I'll have to use them regularly when I grow up.
[Host, she didn't use any skincare products. Fox fur is naturally soft and delicate, so even if it were to transform into human skin, it would be better than an average person's.]
【Oh, so that's how it is! 】
"Sister, do you want to live in the same yard with me, or continue to live in this room?"
Jun Shutong asked this out of selfish motives. His mother and grandmother had said that people of unknown origin could not be brought home. Since he had brought them home, he had to keep them under his watch.
Although nothing wrong has been discovered with the nine-tailed fox so far, there is no guarantee that it won't harbor bad intentions in the future.
"Miss, if your yard still has room for me, I would like to live with you and I can protect you."
"Protect me?"
Jun Shutong raised his little head: "Sister, do you know martial arts?"
"Yes, Miss, I remember everything now. I learned martial arts when I was little, and I could easily beat two people."
Jun Shutong became excited: "That's great, sister, you can live in the same yard with me, and let me see your skills when you have time."
"Yes, miss."
"But please don't call me sister anymore. You are the master and I am the servant. Just call me by my name."
Well!
Jun Shutong didn't expect that the mysterious beasts in this alien continent were so polite.
Little did people know that the Nine-tailed White Fox had been infused with spiritual power from her parents, as well as a system of super-powerful potions. Now, the Nine-tailed White Fox, in terms of intelligence and physical strength, far surpassed that of an adult.
"Okay, from now on I'll call you Yingying."
As he was speaking, Jun Shutong had already brought Yingying to his own courtyard.
"This yard has always been occupied by Xia Xue and I. Now that you're here, you can live outside like Xia Xue, and I'll live inside."
"Yes, she is Xia Xue."
After Jun Shutong finished speaking, he pointed at Xia Xue who was pouring tea next to him.
"From now on, you will be colleagues. You must help each other and not be half-hearted. Do you understand?"
Xia Xue replied with a smile: "Yes, Miss."
Yingying stood there, stunned for a second, then imitated Xia Xue and bowed, saying, "Yes, Miss."
Although she imitates the girl very well, one can still see her childishness and inexperience with the world at a glance.
Even though he transformed into a human form, he is still a baby after all.
"Yingying, when Miss talks about colleagues, you can understand them as colleagues, or sisters. In short, they are people just like us."
With Xia Xue's explanation, Jun Shutong no longer explained too much. In the future, she would take in more people and explain to each of them. She didn't want to live such a tiring life.
"Oh, by the way, there's a three-tailed red fox living with me. It's probably out playing right now. It'll come back when it's hungry."
Sure enough, the moment Yingying heard the three-tailed red fox, her expression unconsciously revealed surprise.
You know, the three-tailed red fox is rarer than the nine-tailed white fox. Even in the Mystical Beast Forest, there are only a few of them.
