"Stubborn girl!"
"Sixth Master, you helped us during the Ghost Festival, and you even helped us with the snake coffin matter..."
“That’s different!” Chang Huaiyuan interrupted.
He rubbed his forehead with one hand, as if he had a headache. He sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth!"
"Even if Kui Kui survives this calamity, he will have to repay this borrowed destiny sooner or later. The road ahead will only be more treacherous."
"Dying early and being reincarnated sooner means less suffering, what's wrong with that? Why put yourself through this?"
A glint of light flashed in Old Lady Wang's eyes, and she suddenly looked up and said, "Sixth Master, so the snake coffin can really save Kui Kui, right?"
Chang Huaiyuan frowned, his gaze fixed on Old Lady Wang.
He wanted to say something more, but after a long while, it all turned into a sigh.
"Can."
"Sweetie, this is the last time I'm warning you. Whether you listen or not, I won't say it again."
"In my Liu Xian family, the snake coffin represents evil and a curse. Using evil to combat evil will come at a price."
"It could be Kui Kui, it could be her closest relative, or it could be you. Someone has to bear this sin."
Grandma Wang said solemnly, “I know. All living beings suffer, and living is a form of spiritual practice. I am not afraid, my daughter and son-in-law are not afraid, and neither is Kui Kui.”
She kowtowed and pleaded, "Please, Master Chang, request a coffin!"
“I will ask the head of the family for permission to lift the coffin.”
After Chang Huaiyuan finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
Hu Meier helped Old Lady Wang up and said softly, "Sweetie, although we don't accept incense offerings from Kui Kui, we see her kowtowing to us every day."
“We will not give up on saving lives if we can. Otherwise, we would not lend a helping hand every year during the Ghost Festival. It’s just that what we consider good is different from what you consider good.”
"You're absolutely right about one thing: living is a form of spiritual practice. Don't be angry with Lao Chang; he's doing it for your own good."
"Of course not!"
Hu Meier smiled slightly, her beauty captivating and enchanting.
She slowly turned her slender hand, and a palm-sized white furry tail appeared in her hand, with a red string on top, like a pendant.
She said calmly, "The child is innocent; let Kui'er take care of him."
Grandma Wang exclaimed in shock, "This...this is a fox spirit cutting off its tail!"
Each time a fox spirit undergoes a tribulation, it grows an extra tail, with nine tails being the maximum.
However, there was a difficult hurdle in the ninth tail's tribulation.
That means that to complete the mission, one of the tails must be sacrificed.
The only way to break this is for the other party to express a wish such as "I hope you can achieve perfect cultivation" or "become a nine-tailed fairy fox".
Most uninformed people will only ask the fox spirit for help without considering the fox spirit's cultivation.
Therefore, nine-tailed foxes are extremely rare.
This severed tail was broken off when Hu Meier was undergoing the Nine-Tailed Tribulation.
Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; those who touch them will surely die. Phoenixes have hollow necks; those who offend them will surely perish.
Like both of these, the fox's tail is the essence of its entire being.
Wearing it will usually frighten ghosts and monsters so much that they will turn around and run away.
The snake spirits inside the snake coffin were naturally no exception.
Grandma Wang shook her head and refused, saying, "This is too valuable, I cannot accept it."
Hu Meier rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "It's not for you, it's for Kui'er."
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled broadly and said, "Kui'er is back."
Ignoring Old Lady Wang, she waved her hand, the door suddenly opened, and she walked directly to Kui Kui, swaying her hips.
This was the first time Kui Kui had met Hu Meier, but seeing that she came from his grandmother's ancestral hall, he immediately guessed her identity.
Kui Kui immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, saying, "Kui Kui greets Grandma Hu San."
Hu Meier smiled, her eyes narrowed, "Look at how clever you are! No wonder your grandma dotes on you so much. I like you too. Get up!"
As she spoke, Kui Kui felt a gentle force lift her up and drive away the chill from her body.
"This is a gift from your third grandmother to mark our first meeting."
Kui Kui took Hu Meier's severed tail with both hands and gently stroked it.
The smooth and soft touch pleased her.
She quickly replied, "Thank you, Third Grandma. It's so beautiful, I love it."
"No! Kui Kui, give it back right now, it's your third grandma's tail!"
Hu Meier glared at Old Lady Wang with some displeasure, but her gaze softened when it fell on Kui Kui again.
"Don't listen to your maternal grandmother. It was given to you by your third maternal grandmother, so just keep it. Besides, you can't reattach the severed tail to your third maternal grandmother. Wouldn't it be better to give it to Kui'er?"
Kui Kui frowned slightly, and Hu Meier assumed she was hesitating about whose opinion to listen to, and was about to say something more.
Unexpectedly, Kui Kui touched her severed tail with a pained expression and said, "Third Grandma, does it hurt a lot to lose your tail? Don't worry, you're so beautiful and powerful, you'll definitely grow a new tail!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a soft white light suddenly appeared around Hu Meier's body.
Immediately afterwards, eight tails stretched out from behind her, spreading out to the left and right in four directions.
A brand new white tail slowly grew out from it.
