Nine-Tailed Demon Fox

"Come back for now!"

Su Wen opened his umbrella, and Hongdou and the Red Mirror immediately turned into red mist and drifted back inside.

"Bzz!"

Just then, a wave of Soul Power came from inside the house.

It was the aura of Hu Liena breaking through.

Su Wen and Ye Yuan'er returned to the house and saw Hu Liena looking thrilled.

"Senior Brother, Nana really broke through! Nana's at level twenty now, and it feels like there's still some of the medicine's power left..."

Hu Liena rushed over excitedly and threw herself into Su Wen's arms. "Senior Brother's treasure is amazing!"

Su Wen was about to pat her hair when someone beside him coughed.

Ye Yuan'er pulled Hu Liena away in displeasure. Under Hu Liena's nervous, bashful gaze, she looked her up and down. "Mm, you really did break through... Wait, your Martial Soul seems to have changed. Nana, show it to me."

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox

Hu Liena summoned her Martial Soul.

The instant the Demon Fox appeared,

nine fluffy tails swayed through the starry sky like blazing orange flames.

They were especially eye-catching.

Liquid-gold divine patterns flowed across every strand of fur.

Ye Yuan'er and Su Wen looked astonished.

Her Martial Soul had actually evolved into a Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!

Hu Liena herself was just as surprised.

When she activated Martial Soul Possession, nine furry tails sprouted from her hips.

Her alluring fox eyes turned a clear amber, and ripples of the Law of Desire flowed through her pupils, making anyone who looked at them feel intoxicated and entranced.

"Senior Brother... Nana feels like she's gotten so much stronger..."

Hu Liena blinked, looking a little bewildered, as if she hadn't expected such a dramatic change.

But mostly, she was delighted.

"The Immortal Herb's effects are that powerful?"

Ye Yuan'er suppressed her shock. That little Fox Spirit was impossibly lucky.

"Immortal Herbs affect different people in different ways. They have a tremendous effect on those with powerful Martial Souls. But for Martial Souls with impure, weak bloodlines, most of the medicinal power goes toward cleansing their bodies, and very little is left to improve their bloodlines."

A faint smile tugged at Su Wen's lips.

He ruffled Hu Liena's hair.

"Nana's Martial Soul is already a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. It's no weaker than Teacher's."

"You can absorb your Spirit Ring too. Then we'll go see Teacher."

"I wonder what her reaction will be."

Hu Liena felt the warmth of his palm.

She couldn't help leaning into it.

Her pink lips parted slightly. "Nana will do as Senior Brother says."

Ye Yuan'er gritted her teeth.

Even without using a Spirit Skill, Hu Liena already radiated an irresistible allure.

And her voice was so soft.

Heh.

What a little Fox Spirit!

They went out to the courtyard.

Su Wen took the fox spirits he had caught in Sunset Forest out of his Soul Tool.

"This thousand-year-old White Fox excels at disguise, seduction, and stealth."

"These two are Red Foxes. They're good at disguise and speed, and they're both suitable for you."

As he spoke, Su Wen showed off his purple Spirit Ring.

He wanted to put Hu Liena at ease.

She had been eating Whale Rubber for a long time.

It was time to see the results.

Hu Liena was indeed startled.

Her surprise didn't last long. She had known for a while what her Senior Brother intended to do.

She gazed at the purple Spirit Ring, her eyes filled with longing and determination.

"Nana wants to be as strong as Senior Brother!"

Hu Liena pointed at the White Fox bound up on the ground. "Senior Brother, can Nana choose this one?"

As she spoke, Hu Liena sneaked a glance at Su Wen, her ears turning faintly red.

She had heard that this White Fox had the ability to charm others.

When Su Wen nodded, Hu Liena went over to the White Fox and took a deep breath. Then she finished it off with her dagger.

A purple Spirit Ring slowly formed above the White Fox's body.

"It's already unusual for someone to have a thousand-year Second Spirit Ring. Now there's another one."

"I wonder what that Grandmaster will make of this."

As Ye Yuan'er watched Hu Liena absorb her Spirit Ring, she thought of an old matter from Spirit Hall.

One person might have been an anomaly. But two... This wouldn't just shock Spirit Hall. The entire continent would probably be in an uproar.

As time passed, Hu Liena neared the end of her Spirit Ring absorption.

Aside from a little pain at the beginning, everything went smoothly.

When her Second Spirit Ring formed, her aura suddenly surged.

"Senior Brother."

Hu Liena's soft voice rang out, carrying a special charm.

As she spoke, she suddenly opened her eyes.

Ripples of the Law of Desire shimmered in her gaze.

Nine furry tails swayed behind her.

Su Wen felt his thoughts stirred for some inexplicable reason.

He furrowed his brow.

Hu Liena approached with confidence.

She placed one of her fox tails into Su Wen's arms.

Her expression was shy, her voice laced with tempting allure.

"Senior Brother, Nana has more tails now, and they're prettier too. Would you like to play with them? Nana's tails are really soft..."

"Bzz!"

Just then, a blast of Soul Power surged over.

The flowers and grass throughout the courtyard swayed in its wake.

Hu Liena's charm immediately broke, and she froze in place.

Her little face turned bright red. Her confidence vanished, leaving only nervousness and bashfulness.

"Aunt Ye, Senior Brother, Nana was only trying to test her Spirit Skill!"

"Thwack!"

Su Wen reached out and flicked her on the forehead.

"Thwack!"

Ye Yuan'er couldn't help flicking her on the left side, too.

Even without using a Spirit Skill, the way she'd acted just now would have been too much for any man to resist.

"Heh, looks like your Spirit Skill is a charm ability."

Hu Liena held her head, her fox ears drooping as she nodded repeatedly. "Nana's Second Spirit Skill is charm. Anyone who sees Nana will lose control of their senses, become consumed by desire, and fall under my control..."

Su Wen caught the important detail: the Spirit Skill didn't even need to be triggered through eye contact.

Wouldn't that make her a veritable femme fatale?

Ye Yuan'er was amazed too. If the girl were placed in the middle of a battlefield,

who knew how many soldiers she could control and turn against their comrades?

Only Soul Masters with exceptionally strong wills and powerful mental strength could resist.

"Senior Brother, Nana's Second Spirit Ring is purple, too."

Hu Liena looked at her Spirit Ring, making sure to show it off to Su Wen.

She was just like Senior Brother now. They could go to the Soul Master Academy together.

"She's actually level twenty-six. It must be the remaining energy from the Immortal Herb!"

Ye Yuan'er could tell what was happening, and Hu Liena grew even more excited.
