Chapter 40: I Think I Can Explain…
***
The morning sunlight filtered through the thin window paper, casting a warm glow on Lin Muyu’s adorable face, cozy and comfortable.
“Mm, that was a really good sleep.” Lin Muyu crawled out of bed and stretched lazily.
Last night she had briefly suffered from insomnia due to not being used to the new environment, but the comfortable feeling in Xinlian’s embrace still helped her fall asleep quickly.
A whimpering sound came from not far away.
“Wuu wuu…”
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Lin Muyu’s heart tightened.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around the small room.
Xinlian had left at some point, leaving only a faint lingering fragrance by the bedside.
The sound was coming from near the table.
Lin Muyu looked closely and saw a small white fox pawing at a cage with its claws, staring at her with a resentful expression.
“!”
“Xiao Bai! Sorry, I forgot to let you out.”
Lin Muyu apologetically opened the cage and released the white-furred little fox inside.
‘Xiao Bai? What kind of strange name is that.’
The Six-Tailed Void Fox wanted to complain, but she had to act as an “ordinary fox” and couldn’t speak.
She could only roll her eyes at Lin Muyu, then gracefully jumped out of the cage, sat on the ground, and elegantly licked her fur.
‘Damn human, actually leaving this fox to be neglected in a cage all night!’
“Xiao Bai, let me pet you~”
Lin Muyu reached out toward the little fox. The somewhat tsundere Xiao Bai instinctively wanted to dodge.
But for some reason, her body disobediently pressed against Lin Muyu’s soft hand.
‘What’s happening? This fox’s body won’t obey?’
After carefully recalling the events.
Only then did she remember that Xinlian had cast a spell on her, making her sign a master-pet contract with Lin Muyu, so she was now a fox with an owner…
How tragic QAQ.
To think that she, a void fox who had roamed the cultivation world for so many years, had ever suffered such grievance.
She had only been loyal to Her Majesty, the Empress of the demon race, but now she had become the pet beast of a small Qi Refining stage cultivator.
So unwilling!
‘Damn Xinlian, ahhhhh.’
The void fox could now only rage helplessly in her heart, looking out the window with somewhat melancholy eyes, constantly muttering complaints in her mind.
‘Your Majesty the Empress, now that I am a fox with an owner, I hope you can take care of yourself.’
Due to the contract, she could no longer do anything to harm Lin Muyu, she couldn’t even think about it.
This meant her dream of demon race revival was interrupted again, and they had even lost herself as a great general.
“Eh? Xiao Bai is unhappy? Could it be because I didn’t let you out last night? Come into my arms! I’ll comfort you.”
Lin Muyu very naturally took the little fox into her embrace, while frantically rubbing her and saying:
“Xiao Bai, you feel so good to touch~”
Xiao Bai also went from initial rejection to gradually falling under Lin Muyu’s comfortable technique, her body becoming soft and relaxed.
After petting for a while, Lin Muyu seemed to think of something and asked somewhat excitedly:
“Xiao Bai, can you really transform into a fox girl?”
After all, what her unreliable master said was still quite reliable.
She said she would use her as a body pillow, and really did use her as a body pillow…
“! Meow meow?”
The Six-Tailed Void Fox directly played dumb, looking at Lin Muyu with eyes that feigned innocence.
However, Lin Muyu seemed to see through something, her eyes full of suspicion.
“Do foxes make sounds like that?”
“Squeak squeak?”
“…Xiao Bai, you can understand what I’m saying?”
Xiao Bai quickly shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t understand.
“? You really can understand what I’m saying?”
Lin Muyu’s eyes immediately lit up.
‘I already indicated I can’t speak, how does she still think I can talk?’
The Xiao Bai fox looked at Lin Muyu’s extremely aggressive gaze, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
“Xiao Bai, quickly transform into a fox girl for me to see!”
“!”
Although extremely unwilling, she still involuntarily chanted the incantation.
The Xiao Bai fox’s body immediately emitted a white light. After the white light dissipated, a cute white-haired fox-eared girl was sitting duck-style on the ground.
She wore only a slightly transparent pale white veil dress, very alluring.
Even her tsundere gaze naturally carried seductive charm.
“Wow wow, so cute!”
Looking at the petite and adorable fox-eared girl, Lin Muyu didn’t have many lewd thoughts in her mind.
Instead, she focused her gaze on the 6 large fluffy tails behind her.
“They must feel very soft to touch~”
Lin Muyu’s face turned slightly red, her gaze obsessed, as she stepped closer to Xiao Bai fox’s big tails.
Xiao Bai looked at this extremely aggressive gaze. She, a great cultivator of the demon race, was actually somewhat afraid and shrank back.
“You… don’t come over here.”
Although she was considered a great cultivator of the fox race, she couldn’t use any of her cultivation against Lin Muyu and could only be at her mercy.
“Knock knock.”
Suddenly, knocking sounds came from outside the door.
“Junior sister, why is there a stranger’s voice in your room?”
“It’s Su Wanqing?! Xiao Bai, quickly change back and go hide!”
Somehow, Lin Muyu felt like she had been caught cheating and wanted to hide Xiao Bai.
But Xiao Bai helplessly spread her hands and said:
“Transformation has a time limit, I can’t change back right now.”
“…Then what should we do!”
Lin Muyu was slightly anxious. After all, how could she explain to Su Wanqing that such a cute fox-eared girl had appeared out of nowhere in her room…
Looking around the empty room, Lin Muyu finally realized there was nowhere to hide.
Just as she was becoming increasingly panicked.
“Wait, why should I be afraid? This is a gift from Master!”
Lin Muyu’s mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“Besides, Su Wanqing and I are just fellow disciples, it shouldn’t matter if she knows…”
With a bit of wishful thinking, Lin Muyu nervously opened the door.
In an instant, cold light flashed.
Su Wanqing immediately drew her Frost Sword and pointed it at the fox-eared girl, frowning tightly, asking Lin Muyu in an ice-cold tone:
“Who is she?”
The fox-eared girl looked at the frost sword before her without panic, instead looking at Lin Muyu with a strange expression.
A small Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t hurt her, but her master seemed very afraid of this little girl?
“Put down your sword first, I think I can explain!”
‘Oh no, why did she draw her sword? I seem to have forgotten that cultivators aren’t very tolerant of the demon race…’
‘Xiao Bai, I will definitely save you!’
Lin Muyu wiped her cold sweat and said weakly:
“…Alright.”
