Chapter 198: The Little Dan Spirit of the Nine-Tailed Fox Really Knows How to Compliment (2)

Humans never find a demon's original form attractive, not even those who have transformed into human form.

The original form of a demon is considered ugly, or even sinister.

This was the first time anyone had ever complimented Hu Jiutian on his appearance.

Before he had cultivated into human form.

Hu Jiutian's nine floating tails slowly lowered.

He lay back down on the carpet, extending his soft pink paw pads.

"Give me the ball."

Song Chuyi used his spiritual energy to toss the small ball over.

Hu Jiutian lifted his front paw and pressed the small ball under his claws.

Finding it boring, he tossed the ball back to Song Chuyi.

Song Chuyi caught it with his spiritual energy and tossed the small ball back to Hu Jiutian.

As Hu Jiutian caught the ball, Song Chuyi floated over and sat down beside him.

"Can I touch your tails?"

"Your tails are so beautiful and fluffy; they must feel really nice to touch."

Hu Jiutian looked up at Song Chuyi.

"I don't think I can. But I can use my spiritual energy."

His palm faced upwards, and a faint white light appeared at his fingertips.

The white light gently touched Hu Jiutian’s closest tail and gave it a little poke.

Hu Jiutian’s white fox tail trembled, and the tips of his ears seemed to turn a little red.

"Don't touch."

Although his tone was firm, his tail disobediently rubbed closer to Song Chuyi.

Song Chuyi noticed this and suppressed his laughter.

"Alright, alright, I won't touch."

Although he agreed, the spiritual energy from his hand thoroughly caressed that tail.

The other eight tails quietly moved closer, as if they also wanted to be touched.

Song Chuyi didn’t play favorites and carefully used his spiritual energy to stroke each tail.

After he had stroked all nine tails, he finally said, "They’re so beautiful."

Hu Jiutian had never received such praise before.

Humans always find their original forms disgusting, if not outright repulsive.

Clearly, those demons who now appear as humans were originally just as ugly in their original forms.

But once they transform into human shape, they seem to be assimilated by humans.

Those demons in human form also strongly dislike those who cannot transform.

This was the first time Hu Jiutian had felt the pleasure of being praised.

It felt like a refreshing stream of water had filled his heart, quenching his thirst.

Suddenly, a knock was heard.

Hu Jiutian stood up and stared intently at the door.

The door was opened quickly, and a man in uniform with "Demon Administration Bureau" written on his chest walked in.

The man looked surprised when he saw Song Chuyi and asked, "You're a cauldron that's taken human form?"

He walked closer quickly, raised his palm, and emitted a white light.

Song Chuyi’s details were quickly logged into the bureau’s database.

"You are the first cauldron to achieve spiritual transformation into human form," the man said with a smile. "Congratulations on your transformation."

"Welcome to the world of humans."

Song Chuyi didn’t expect the Demon Administration Bureau to arrive so quickly. They must have a special way to detect those who had transformed into human shape. If he hadn’t caused any disturbances, there’s no way they would have found him so quickly after appearing less than an hour ago.

"I’m Yu Qing from the Demon Administration Bureau’s First Division."

Yu Qing handed a jade token to Song Chuyi. "Here’s your ID card."

Song Chuyi used his spiritual energy to receive the jade token. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Yu Qing said with a smile. "Looks like we’ll be working together from now on."

"You can only be in a spiritual form right now?"

Song Chuyi nodded.

Yu Qing seemed very experienced in such matters and quickly said, "I’ll assign you to work as an NPC in one of our haunted escape rooms."

"Humans love playing in haunted escape rooms."

"In the human world, you’ll need money to survive—no stealing or taking things by force."

"The fact that you could take human form right away shows you’ve got a lot of potential."

"Don’t mess up your future."

Yu Qing gave a lot of advice and even issued a "Guide to Human Life" to Song Chuyi.

After Yu Qing came in, he didn’t look at Hu Jiutian once, as if the highly conspicuous nine-tailed fox beside him was nothing more than garbage.

He couldn’t be bothered to even glance at him.

After giving his instructions, Yu Qing was about to leave.

At that moment, Song Chuyi suddenly spoke, “Yu Qing, am I the only one who has this identity proof?”

He drifted over to Hu Jiutian’s side and casually stroked his tail.

“My master doesn’t have one?”

Yu Qing turned to look at Song Chuyi, his brows furrowed.

“Your master?”

“Who are you talking about?”

Song Chuyi pointed at Hu Jiutian. “Him.”

Yu Qing’s face darkened, clearly unhappy with Song Chuyi’s words.

“It’s still just an animal.”

Yu Qing’s malice towards unshaped demons almost overflowed.

“Now that you’re in human form, how could you possibly call a demon your master?”

Song Chuyi lazily flicked the identity token back to Yu Qing.

“I don’t like what you’re saying.”

“I can recognize whoever I want as my master.”

Yu Qing held the identity token, his face dark.

“Without that ID, you won’t be able to get a job.”

“Without a job, you can’t earn money to support yourself.”

He tried to threaten Song Chuyi with survival.

Song Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

“But I’m a spirit—no need for food or drink.”

“So why would I need to support myself?”

Yu Qing was stunned.

For a cauldron to become a spirit is rare enough, but for it to take human form is almost unheard of.

Someone who was born in human form was destined to become an absolute powerhouse.

He couldn’t afford to offend a future strong being.

Still... Yu Qing shot a wary glance at the nine-tailed fox sprawled on the floor and clenched the identity token tightly.

"What do you think?"

Song Chuyi smiled and replied, "Give him an identity token."

"Impossible." Yu Qing immediately refused. "Demons that can't transform into humans can't be registered."

Yu Qing took a deep breath. "It's impossible to give him an identity token."

"But I can help you register him as your companion."

"You can freely walk in the human world with him, without worrying about him being expelled."

Song Chuyi thought for two seconds. "Alright."

Yu Qing spread out Song Chuyi's identity token, just about to enter the words "Nine-tailed Fox," when he heard Song Chuyi speak again.

"He's called Hu Jiutian."

Yu Qing was silent for a moment. He changed "Nine-tailed Fox" to "Hu Jiutian," then handed the identity token back to Song Chuyi.

Song Chuyi thanked him and used his spiritual energy to place the identity token around Hu Jiutian's neck.

Yu Qing hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

Two seconds later, he finally couldn't resist.

"You two aren't cut from the same cloth."

Yu Qing had an impression of this nine-tailed fox.

Powerful, but unable to take human form for a long time.

Clearly, he had done too many wrongs and wasn't favored by the heavens, which was why he was bound by the heavens' rules and couldn't transform.

A creature like him would never follow the same path as Song Chuyi, who was blessed by the heavens and born human.
