Chapter 2, The Nine-Tailed Fox

"Magic... magic beasts?" Qin Xihai took a moment to respond, "Are you all magic beasts?"

The nine-tailed fox understood this statement, and he elegantly nodded his head, flicking his nine fluffy tails, scattering some fox fur in the air: "I noticed you haven't woken up for a long time and were hungry, so I went to get something to eat, but unexpectedly, this group of rascals actually caused a commotion"

The earth-shattering roar shook even the leaves of the distant trees, nearly causing Qin Xi's eardrums to burst, successfully awakening her frayed senses from the brink of madness

Qin Xi opened his eyes and saw a gigantic nine-tailed fox gracefully stepping out of the forest, exuding a regal aura. All the beasts, upon seeing it, retreated in unison, displaying profound reverence.

In that year, Fan Jin was awakened by a slap after passing the imperial examination, which demonstrates that violence can indeed be remarkably effective in addressing sudden mental health crises

The Beast Forest of the Vanka Continent

"Don't eat me..." Looking at the seemingly gentle and harmless face of the fox, Qin Xi still trembled

Forget it, I still prefer flying rabbit meat

These dozens of beasts surrounded Qin Xi, their towering bodies casting shadows that blocked the scorching sunlight. The noise grew louder, and the conversations became increasingly strange: "Look, she has two eyes! One nose and a mouth!"

This profound sorrow, this pain, this sadness... Qin Xi almost thought he was watching the 8 o'clock romantic drama "The Unfinished Love Between Human and Fox"

The giant bear named Obsidian simply could not hold on any longer, collapsing to the ground, biting its own paw, and struggling not to laugh out loud. A Jin and A Yin's heads were tightly entangled together, trembling incessantly. Other magical beasts, unable to contain themselves, hurried into the forest, followed by a series of roars.

The Golden-eyed Two-headed Snake quickly explained: "She had been lying there for so long that I thought she wouldn't move. When I saw her wake up, I found it curious and amusing, and couldn't help but call out... I didn't expect her to be so timid... You know I love gossiping in my spare time..."

Now her life and death are no longer in her own hands, only dependent on how she will die

Qin Xi recalled the few time-travel novels he had read and quickly began to climb up the pole: "I have lost my memory, I seek the help of the Fox King."

Qin Xi finally understood the feelings of the animals waiting at the restaurant entrance for diners to choose them

Qin listened carefully to his gentle tone and friendly demeanor, feeling a bit braver: "May I ask, where is this place?"

Damn it! I just stepped away to have some lunch and you all turned this place into such a mess? The fox looks beautiful, but speaks in an exceptionally rude manner. He turned around and shouted at the two-headed snake, "Ayin, you fool, what are you doing with that cage? Hurry up and take it down!"

It evokes the legendary nine-tailed fox that captivates the heart.

"Who said I wanted to eat you?" The fox was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Qin Xi's face, which was filled with extreme fear, and then suddenly realized as he turned his head and shouted at the beast group, "Shuang Leng! Hei Yao! A Jin! A Yin! You bastards, get out here! Why are you scaring her? Look at how scared she is! Don't you know to wait a little longer for me? You even called everyone to watch! Are you looking for death?"

"Daughter, I am your father!" shouted the Nine-Tailed Beast

It does not matter whether one lives or dies, please make a decision quickly

Is human flesh delicious

Qin Xi has no concept of how many years he has been cultivating; the only question she cares about is: "Then what about me? Who am I? Why am I here?"

The Nine-Tails emphatically asserted once again: "Indeed, I am your father!"

No matter how many justifications are made, ultimately none of this is their fault; everyone is innocent. It is Qin who is timid and frightens himself.

The black bear trembled slightly: "No, I just saw her fall, so I wanted to help her up"

Not very good, somewhat sour, and the resistance is quite strong, making it difficult to handle

The fox named Jiuwei, after listening to the defense, ultimately ruled that several beasts were not guilty and released them. He turned to Qin Xi and tried to soften his voice as much as possible: "Please stop pinching yourself, it will hurt. Let me explain first."

The silver-eyed two-headed snake slithered on the ground: "The nine-tailed leader, she rushed into the thorns by herself. I was also afraid she would get hurt, so I confined her in a cage"

In despair, a proud and clear voice of reprimand came from afar: "You bunch of guys, get lost! Are you bored and have nothing to do? Or do you want to encroach upon my nine-tailed possessions?"

The silver-eyed two-headed snake obediently lowered its head, reciting incantations from its mouth. The green vine cage surrounding Qin Xi quickly disbanded, burrowing into the ground, and soon disappeared from sight

Would you like to give it a try

... ...

The monsters behind knew the wicked nature of the nine-tailed fox and were stifling their laughter to the point of almost injuring themselves. Qin Xi had never encountered such a situation before and was momentarily flustered, awkwardly trying to comfort, "Perhaps if you say something, I might remember."

"Oh no—" the fox suddenly cried out sadly, startling Qin Xi. He rubbed his eyes with his paw, his tone extremely mournful, "How could you forget me? How could you?"

The overwhelming fear made the sound of her heartbeat grow louder, almost bursting from her chest. Qin Xi's spirit finally collapsed completely; she was too weak to cry or scream, only wishing to be free from the torment of waiting.

The White Dragon stiffened for a moment: "No, I just saw her awake, so I wanted to say hello"

The nine-tailed fox endured her nagging for a long time, and finally could not help but slap the ground with its paw, howling in anger: "Shut up! Let me speak first!"

Ah, how is that possible! You guys really lack insight; humans are much taller than her, and they smell quite different.

Qin Xi slowly regained his breath and, seeing that the fox before him did not seem to harbor any ill intentions and was not particularly fierce, mustered his courage to greet, "Hello..."

The fox approached Qin Xi, lowered its head, extended its paw to gently touch her head, examined her for a moment, and softly said: "So it turns out you have blue eyes"

The Nine-Tails, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment. When it raised its head again, a cunning glint appeared in its eyes: "Have you forgotten who you are?"

The beast can speak... The beast can speak... Qin Xi was almost driven to madness

Father ... ... Father ... ... Father ... ... Father ... ... The divine thunder of the Nine Heavens rumbled down, striking Qin Xi with a crisp exterior and a tender interior. She stood in the wind, tongue-tied and disoriented, feeling as if her entire being was enchanted and surreal, as if she could see colorful bubbles dancing all around, only to burst one by one, never to return to her senses.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, upon hearing this, proudly boasted: "I am the Fox King who has cultivated for over ten thousand years, the leader of the beast tribe in this western forest"

Upon seeing Qin Xi, who fell silent, Jiu Wei spoke with satisfaction: "Now this is more like it. No one is going to eat you, so why are you so tense?"

Why is there only hair on the head? The body is hairless, it should be human

Qin Xi completely failed to hear what he was saying, this series of intense stimuli was overwhelming for an ordinary person's nerves, and she was desperately trying to escape reality: "No... this is a dream, a scientific exploration, a survival test, the filming of the fourth installment of The Lord of the Rings, a live version of Harry Potter, a television prank, it is..."

His fur is silver, without a single stray hair, shimmering under the sunlight. His eyes are golden, resembling the most brilliant gold, and that exquisite beauty, crafted by nature itself, is enough to transcend the aesthetic boundaries of all races
