He's in Heat?

"Chat Group, Bai Tu is a good fox, you can give the group leader position to Bai Tu."

Relying on the faint connection from the Chat Group's invitation link, Bai Tu reached out to the core of the Chat Group.

Moreover, having been raised by Bi Ji for 100 years—fed and cleaned after—his temperament had undoubtedly leaned toward that of a soul beast.

[Negative. This group aims to build a harmonious communication channel and does not possess functions such as group leader or administrator.]

"Bai Tu is a good fox, and he is also your daddy!"

[Negative. The root of the Chat Group is an authority of connection; it has no daddy.]

"Don't you think Bai Tu is very endearing?"

[Reasonable. However, as a member of the Chat Group, if speaking in terms of personification, Bai Tu is a friend of the Chat Group.]

"Then, can friends offer suggestions?"

[Reasonable!]

"Then, Bai Tu is a good fox and can help you distinguish bad guys! You can give this white fox the authority to refuse entry to bad people."

Bai Tu spoke tentatively.

[Reasonable. Member Bai Tu may refuse the entry of invited individuals, but may only refuse once for every three people.]

"Bai Tu is a good fox! To prevent bad people from bullying good people in the group, Bai Tu can mute and blacklist them!"

Bai Tu's eyes lit up; he seemed to have discovered a blind spot!

[Reasonable. Member Bai Tu is granted the authority to mute and blacklist.]

"Bai Tu is a good fox! For the sake of the group's well-being, Bai Tu can kick bad people out!"

Bai Tu smiled like a little fox—no, wait! He was a little fox to begin with!

[Negative! There is a possibility that Bai Tu would act out of personal bias!]

"Bai Tu is a good fox!"

"Then Bai Tu shall have the authority to initiate a vote to kick people!"

[Reasonable. Member Bai Tu is granted the authority to initiate votes. Furthermore, for the sake of Bai Tu's safety, this group will convey this to the members in the name of the Chat Group.]

Bai Tu nodded in satisfaction. Although he wasn't the group leader yet, he was already practically the same thing!

"The Chat Group is Bai Tu's good friend!"

[Reasonable. Bai Tu is the Chat Group's closest member.]

"Little Bai, I will take you to see the Master in a moment. We have encountered a major problem, especially you."

Bi Ji's worried voice pulled Bai Tu back to reality.

"Ying ying~ Bai Tu's tail is very powerful! I'll make the Master give birth later!"

Smack!

Bi Ji's hand lightly patted the bottom of the loose-lipped Bai Tu.

Bi Ji brought Bai Tu easily into a small space within the Lake of Life.

Inside the small space, soul beasts of various shapes and sizes were either crouching or lying down, fast asleep.

In their center, they were surrounding a large, snow-white worm!

Bai Tu looked at it greedily; now that he had a cheat, he suddenly wanted to go out and roam!

One had to know, he hadn't cared when the Blue Silver Empress or Xiao Wu's mother had met with trouble before!

In his heart, he had never considered these disgraces to soul beasts as his own kind!

"Want to eat meat?"

Bi Ji teased him by stroking Bai Tu's little bottom, then stepped into the core area of the small space.

There, only a silver-haired woman was resting with her eyes closed.

"Master!"

Bi Ji knelt on one knee, preparing with a serious expression to recount what she and Bai Tu had just encountered.

But...

"Ah!"

Bi Ji frowned and cried out in pain. Just as she was about to speak, a sharp pain suddenly erupted from her body!

"Bi Ji?"

Gu Yuena flashed in front of Bi Ji, sending a strand of soul power into her body.

"Sister Bi Ji!"

Bai Tu also called out in worry, then immediately asked his good friend, the Chat Group, to see what was going on!

[System Message: As long as your strength has not reached a level where you are safe from all threats in this world, you cannot reveal the existence of the Chat Group to others!]

A system message appeared within the Chat Group.

[Huo Wu: Ugh, ugh, ugh... there are experts still!]

[Hu Liena: Is that little fox Bai Tu? We are all so pitiful~]

[Qian Renxue: That's because you're stupid! You couldn't tell that woman was using you as a pawn!]

"I'm fine."

Bi Ji panted, handing Bai Tu over to Gu Yuena.

"Master, please check if Little Bai's gender is male."

Bi Ji caught her breath before speaking again.

Gu Yuena widened her eyes, several question marks appearing over her head???

Gu Yuena frowned; Bi Ji was usually composed, so something must have happened.

Gu Yuena toyed with Bai Tu like a plaything, tugging at his tail to take a look.

"He has always been male..."

"Could it be that the fox clan's physiological traits are different?"

"Do they change gender at a certain age?"

Gu Yuena looked at Bi Ji.

"Then..."

Bi Ji didn't dare to continue. If that Chat Group was truly as powerful as the members claimed, why did it misjudge Bai Tu's gender?

"Oh my, oh my!"

Bai Tu flipped over and hugged Gu Yuena's jade hand tightly.

"Let me explain!"

"That's my innate talent!"

"I just copied Sister Bi Ji for a moment!"

"My innate talent is amazing! I can give birth to little babies at will!"

"Does Master want to try it?"

Bai Tu's drooping tail lit up with a white glow, as if he would strike Gu Yuena's hand the moment she nodded!

"Is he in heat?"

Gu Yuena offered her own assessment.

"Uh... I think I might know what he's talking about."

Bi Ji helplessly covered her forehead; after all, she had raised Bai Tu for 100 years.

"Little Bai's innate talent is impressive! Can you tell us more about it?"

Bi Ji reached out to take Bai Tu from Gu Yuena's hand, coaxing him gently.

"After reaching ten thousand years, I gained three talents!"

"First, I can copy things!"

"Second, I can make a soul beast give birth on its own!"

"Third, I can make two soul beasts have babies!"

Bai Tu stated his abilities very simply.

"Right, I can demonstrate! Sister, give me some food that boosts soul power!"

Though he called out to Bi Ji, his large eyes were actually fixed on Gu Yuena.

"Heh~"

Gu Yuena chuckled softly, a wisp of colorful divine power flowing from her fingertips.

"Little thing, if you can consume this, this wisp of divine power is enough to increase your cultivation by a thousand years. If you can't, you'll have to sleep soundly for a few years."

Gu Yuena's face turned a shade paler after squeezing out the divine power.

She was already struggling against the erosion of Asura Divine Power, so forcing out this energy was quite taxing.

"Watch this!"

Bai Tu happily slurped up the divine power!

Then, his tail slowly shrank like a punctured balloon...

Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly dilated! She felt the wisp of divine power inside Bai Tu vanish instantly!

And... his cultivation!

11,000!

12,000!

13,000!

18,000!

As Bai Tu's tail completely reverted to its original small size, his cultivation base also stalled at the 18,000-year limit!

"Ying ying~"

Bai Tu let out a milky burp.

"How did you do that?"

Gu Yuena looked at Bai Tu with an excited expression; this was an absorption efficiency of at least eight times!

One had to know that the 1,000-year gap between 17,000 and 18,000 was completely different from the one between 1,000 and 11,000!

"My first innate talent: Replication."

"I can replicate living beings, creations, and concepts at will!"

"Just now, I replicated the concept of my own age limit increasing."

Bai Tu rubbed comfortably against Bi Ji's hand.

Who said that if it wasn't open, it was closed!
