Chapter 197: The Little Dan Spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox Is Super Good at Complimenting (1)

Yuyu stared at Song Chuyi blankly.

"You've known all along..."

That he wanted to leave this world together with Song Chuyi.

Yuyu indeed had no memory of Ning Xiuping, but the obsessive persistence that pierced through the torrents of time led him to walk the same path as in the previous world.

His wealth came from his genius-level designs.

From the moment he met his wife that night, the plan took root in his heart.

He wanted to spend eternity with his wife, never to be apart.

Song Chuyi softly responded, "I know. I understand you completely."

He knew him too well.

And he also understood Yuyu’s obsessive, almost unhealthy love.

But... someone could get hurt.

Interdimensional travel was already defying the natural order. Even the system required immense energy.

Not to mention someone like Yuyu, who didn’t rely on the system’s energy.

The universe never tolerated outsiders. They had their own rules of operation.

And rules were constraints.

If forced, the consequences ranged from memory loss to complete annihilation.

How could he stand to let that happen?

"We will meet again," Song Chuyi kissed Yuyu's ear, "I know it’s always you."

Though each world’s antagonist had no memory of the previous one, Song Chuyi knew it was always Yuyu.

It had never changed.

Even though he still didn’t understand what kind of deal he had made with the main system, he would find out one day.

Yuyu’s eyes reddened slightly. "Darling, don’t be sad."

He slowly let go of Song Chuyi’s hand.

"I understand."

Yuyu slowly closed his eyes.

The wind gradually stopped.

Song Chuyi heard Xiaotong's familiar notification sound.

"Mission completed."

In his final moments, the two personalities of Dan Yue and Yuyu finally merged together.

Song Chuyi kissed him on the lips.

Dan Yue's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he struggled to open his eyes and look at Song Chuyi.

He was smiling, brightly, dazzling, and scorchingly warm.

Dan Yue slowly curled his lips in a smile, and with that smile, he left this world.

————

When Song Chuyi opened his eyes once more, he felt an intense heat all over his body.

It was as if fire was burning him.

The scarlet flames danced through the air, and Song Chuyi felt unbearably hot, so he jumped out.

"It's so hot!"

As soon as he spoke, he saw a nine-tailed fox with fur like flames in front of him.

It was incredibly beautiful, and its fox eyes seemed to speak as they gazed at him.

"Dan Spirit?"

The nine-tailed fox spoke.

Song Chuyi's first reaction was that this wasn't the modern world.

He would have to deal with more strange things!

But when he looked up again, he saw a television not far away.

What’s going on here?

Before Song Chuyi could get the backstory from Xiaotong, the nine-tailed fox slowly lay down.

"What is your name?"

Its voice carried a lazy languor that made him feel a bone-deep tingling.

Song Chuyi felt a momentary dizziness and obediently said his name.

The nine-tailed fox chuckled, "Since you were born from my hands, I am your master."

Song Chuyi: ...

He came to his senses, realizing that the fox had likely used a charm spell on him.

"Xiaotong, Xiaotong, why isn't the villain a human this time?"

Indeed, this nine-tailed fox was the villain of this world.

Although he didn't know its name yet, the soul aura wouldn't lie.

Xiaotong: "The villain of this world, unable to transform into a human form through cultivation, killed all humans, leaving only non-human creatures behind."

Song Chuyi: "Sure enough, that twisted feeling is back."

Xiaotong: "Host, you completed the mission in the last world quite well, we obtained a lot of energy!"

"I'm sending you the story background!"

Song Chuyi responded, and soon received the story background.

As Xiaotong said, the antagonist, Hu Jiutian, the nine-tailed fox, who couldn't transform into human form for so long, faced ostracism, suppression, and abuse. He eventually went rogue and killed all the humans.

Not just humans, but also the demons who had already taken human form.

This world is one where humans and demons coexist.

This all started five hundred years ago when the resurgence of spiritual energy transformed the tech-driven society into what it is today.

Humans weren’t entirely against demons, but only if they could take human form.

Any demon unable to transform into human form faced extermination by humans.

To humans, any demon stuck in beast form remained savage and uncontrollable. Only by transforming into human form could they gain human approval.

In this world, there are specialized demon management bureaus where every demon that takes human form gets registered and assigned jobs.

Those unable to take human form were outcasts, easy targets for anyone to bully.

People here aren’t your average humans; they practice swordsmanship, talisman arts, alchemy, and more, all while advancing technology.

In short, this was a world where modern technology and cultivation coexisted.

It was the first time Song Chuyi had encountered such a plane, which piqued his curiosity.

As he organized the story background, Hu Jiutian was also observing this newly born Dan Spirit.

Following the spiritual energy revival, animals and plants began gaining intelligence and evolving into demons.

However, inanimate objects like a Dan furnace had never been known to gain spiritual intelligence. The one before his eyes was the first.

Given it came from his hands, calling him "master" made perfect sense.

Hu Jiutian idly thought as he used his claws to play with a small ball on the ground.

But this newborn Dan Spirit appeared somewhat dim-witted.

"Song Chuyi," Hu Jiutian called, pulling Song Chuyi back from his thoughts.

Song Chuyi came to his senses and looked at him.

Hu Jiutian tossed the small ball he had been holding in his claw to Song Chuyi.

Song Chuyi, now just a spiritual body, watched the ball pass through him and fall into the Dan furnace.

"Tsk."

Hu Jiutian clicked his tongue, his nine tails lazily swaying behind him.

Song Chuyi bent down to look at the small ball resting at the bottom of the cauldron.

"Do you want me to toss this little ball for you to play with?"

Hu Jiutian: "Call me master."

Song Chuyi: "But right now I'm in human form, and you're a nine-tailed fox," he said confidently. "So if anyone should be called master, you should call me master."

Hu Jiutian hated when others mentioned his inability to transform into human form, and he despised when other demons bragged about their ability to shapeshift in front of him.

Song Chuyi's words struck a nerve, causing his nine tails, which had been hanging down, to shoot up and thrash wildly behind him.

"Say that one more time."

Song Chuyi repeated it.

Hu Jiutian shot to his feet, his sharp claws digging into the ground as his intimidating aura surged toward Song Chuyi.

As he picked up the small ball with his spiritual energy, Song Chuyi added, "But you're actually quite handsome."

Hu Jiutian's movements paused.

Handsome? Me? In this form? Handsome?
