195: Chapter 195 Stick Out Your Tongue

Two tails?

Mo Zixing took a deep breath, finally stabilizing the two Bloodline powers that were merging within his body.

He stood up, holding the fluffy Hu Jiuying in his arms, and couldn't help but touch those fluffy tails, counting them gently.

One, two... three?

He raised an eyebrow and counted again.

That's right, it was indeed three tails.

Three fluffy tails swept gently behind her, appearing even fluffier and softer than the previous one.

Just then, the Celestial Fox in his arms stirred slightly.

She slowly opened her dewy peach-blossom eyes, looking straight at Mo Zixing, seemingly still a bit dazed.

Upon seeing her current form, Hu Jiuying let out a short gasp and scrambled out of his arms.

She hurriedly grabbed the clothes scattered on the ground, flicked her tails, and darted behind the giant Celestial Fox statue.

Only the tip of a tail was left wiggling outside, betraying her flustered state of mind.

Before long.

A rustling sound of dressing came from behind the statue.

When she came back out, Hu Jiuying had returned to her original appearance as a human girl.

Only a pair of cute fox ears and those tails remained.

She had dressed in a rush; her cheeks were like ripe cherries, blushing all the way from her neck to the tips of her ears.

A few strands of hair were still messily stuck to the side, rising and falling with her breathing.

Perhaps it was because of the [Celestial Fox Bloodline].

Mo Zixing couldn't help but feel that Hu Jiuying looked exceptionally alluring in her current state.

However, he also noticed a faint pink fox-shaped mark on Hu Jiuying's forehead.

It was almost unnoticeable if one didn't look closely.

What was this thing?

With a thought, Mo Zixing pulled up her System information interface in his mind.

He saw that a brand-new white-quality trait had appeared in her Acquired Luck column.

[Soul-Contracting Beast Seal (White): Signed a Divine Soul contract with the master, can receive spiritual power bestowed by the master, with corresponding improvements in cultivation speed and Cultivation Technique power; at the same time, will forcibly obey the master's commands and cannot harm the master.]

There was an additional line of small text below the trait:

[Bound Master: Mo Zixing]

Mo Zixing couldn't help but click his tongue.

He hadn't expected that soul-contracting beast orb to directly make him and Hu Jiuying sign a contract.

He hadn't originally planned to use it here.

Moreover, this Soul-Contracting Beast Seal was indeed different from the beast-taming talismans of the Righteous Path.

The beast-taming talismans of the Righteous Path could only restrain Yao Beasts at best, more like a collaborative effort.

It didn't have this kind of effect that forcibly influenced behavior.

On one side was the soul-devouring sword, and on the other was the Soul-Contracting Beast Seal.

Mo Zixing couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at it this way, he was indeed more like a demonic Cultivator than those demonic Cultivators themselves.

"Mo... Mo Zixing."

Hu Jiuying wagged her tails behind her, only then discovering that the number of her tails had changed, her face full of disbelief:

"What did you do... My tails... How did they become three?"

"I didn't do anything."

Mo Zixing spread his hands:

"It might be because of the ninghong fox core."

"Right, what does it mean when you Celestial Foxes grow more tails?"

"I don't know... Our Celestial Fox Clan has seemingly only ever had one tail for generations."

Hu Jiuying shook her head, her eyes full of confusion:

"However, I did hear from the elders that the first-generation Clan Chief was different from us; only she possessed nine tails."

"Legend has it that back then, she connected her power with a human Cultivator, and only then did they ascend to Immortal Ascension together."

"What a coincidence."

Mo Zixing said casually:

"You are now effectively the Clan Chief of the Celestial Fox Clan, and it just so happens that I, a human Cultivator, am here."

"Perhaps, that is the reason."

As he spoke, he looked up at the giant nine-tailed Celestial Fox statue in front of him.

The statue's forehead was perfectly smooth.

There was no Soul-Contracting Beast Seal.

But for some reason, Mo Zixing always felt that the statue's majestic eyes seemed somewhat familiar.

"I... I seem to have another feeling."

Hu Jiuying gently pressed her chest, seemingly trying hard to sense that connection:

"I feel like there is something connected between you and me."

"You're not wrong about that."

Mo Zixing nodded and said:

"Just a moment ago, while you were still under the influence of the ninghong fox core, you signed a contract with me."

"A contract..."

Hu Jiuying repeated softly, instinctively finding the fox-shaped mark on her forehead.

She felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Signing a contract.

Did that mean that from this moment on, her fate was tied to the man in front of her?

But strangely, deep in her heart, there was no resistance; instead, a sense of peace slowly arose.

Yes.

She was the only one left of the Celestial Fox Clan now.

Being able to follow him was perhaps the best outcome.

Before she could think it through, she heard Mo Zixing's voice ringing in her ears.

"Come here."

As soon as the words fell, she felt an irresistible sense of closeness rise in her heart.

Her body seemed to have a mind of its own; her three tails wagged happily, and her feet moved forward involuntarily.

She walked step by step to Mo Zixing's front.

"Wh... what's going on?"

She widened her eyes, her face full of panic:

"My body isn't listening to me..."

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow.

It seems the effect of this Soul-Contracting Beast Seal was even more interesting than he had imagined.

He looked at the girl in front of him, whose cheeks were flushed red, yet who kept leaning toward him, and couldn't help but smile:

"Stick out your tongue and let me see."
