Flourishing Offspring, Fox Talk Gathering

"My name is Su Bai." Su Bai's expression remained calm as he gave a slight cupped-fist salute toward the peerless figure at the courtyard gate.

His tone carried just the right amount of courteous distance, making him look entirely like someone meeting her for the first time.

"Could this be Senior Nine Tails, whom my master mentioned before?"

Upon hearing this, Nine Tails let out a string of silvery, bell-like laughter, her voice soft and bewitching to the bone.

Yet it also carried an open, forthright ease. "Hehe, that's right. Senior Lu Jiu and I share the bond of half-master and half-disciple. By seniority, we may simply associate as peers. Just call me 'Nine Tails'; there is no need to be so distant with 'Senior.'"

Back in the Buddhist Kingdom, Nine Tails had once borne the reputation of the "Buddhist Kingdom's Number One Pearl." The splendor of her beauty and the matchlessness of her grace had long since become legend.

And the one before her now was not Devil Master Lu Jiu.

He was the Devil Master's Personal Disciple. Naturally, she shed three parts of the fear she held toward Devil Master Lu Jiu, gaining instead the composure and radiant charm befitting a great Spirit Transformation cultivator.

With every frown and smile, brilliance flowed around her. She was even more vivid and alive than the rumors described, her radiance beyond compare.

"Su Bai, Senior Lu Jiu specifically sent me a message, asking me to show you around this Buddhist capital properly and make sure you do not waste this journey."

Nine Tails' beautiful eyes, as though they could speak, swept over Su Bai as she extended the invitation with a warm smile.

"I see that you have already settled in. Why don't I take you around Great Thunderclap City now?
