She Was Serious

To be honest, before the official confirmation, Yin Yunze never expected that Lord of Du Mountain would actually be a tigress.

However, upon closer reflection, Yin Yunze realized that the information the fox clan had given her did not actually record Lord of Du Mountain's gender.

I did mention it briefly; for the past three hundred years, Lord of Du Mountain has always appeared before outsiders in his original form, never revealing his human form after Transformation.

Unlike most demons who take on a more convenient human form after entering the Transformation Stage, Lord of Du Mountain has never been seen in human form.

If they had truly known Lord of Du Mountain's human form, this blunder wouldn't have happened.

Compared to the tiger form, the gender of the human form is relatively easier to distinguish.

However, as an Orthodox God beast that reached its peak upon its debut, no one with a death wish would dare to investigate this matter.

Neither his physique nor Lord of Du Mountain's bandit-like behavior—which constantly demanded Yin Yunze become her wife—showed any of the characteristics one might expect.

Okay, Yin Yunze realized that she had fallen into a cognitive trap.

Come to think of it, can you really apply the behavior of a human woman to a tigress?

In comparison to other monsters, Lord of Du Mountain could be considered rather delicate in his speech.

However, in tiger form, the rough tiger's roar effectively masked this fact.

It can only be said that Yin Yunze misjudged the situation due to preconceived notions.

"So what if Benshan is a tigress!"

Upon hearing this, Lord of Du Mountain, forgetting his anger at Yin Yunze for outnumbering him, immediately retorted, "Aren't you a female fox too? Hmm, two female foxes at that! If you, a female fox, can be that Lady Qingnü, why can't I be a mountain lord!"

Upon hearing Lord of Du Mountain's somewhat off-topic rebuttal, the mortal was at a loss for words.

After all, it would be quite difficult to make Lord of Du Mountain understand that what they were saying was not the same thing.

Reaching out, he poked the waist of the divine body, and the mortal body laughed, "Tell me, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, the divine body was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

If Lord of Du Mountain is male, then even if the divine body castrates him, it wouldn't feel there's any problem.

After all, it coveted its own body and was preparing to take action, so the divine body sensed that it was destined to die.

But if it were a tigress, it would have been just empty talk, and she would have gotten a good beating.

Upon closer reflection, even the divine body felt that Lord of Du Mountain was rather unlucky.

If I had taken human form, this unfortunate thing wouldn't have happened!

Thinking this, the divine body also became somewhat curious and asked, "Lord of Du Mountain, why don't you transform into human form?"

"No!" Lord of Du Mountain shook his head in strong resistance, saying, "I don't want to transform into human form!"

Fortunately, it was still in the appearance of a tiger, and even though it was female, it didn't affect the divine body's behavior that much.

Grasping the flagpole of the Demon-Summoning Banner, the deity pressed the tip against Lord of Du Mountain's neck and said, "Lord of Du Mountain, you have no right to refuse! You should understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain,' right? If you don't behave, I'll drag you out and parade you through the streets!"

"You! You bad fox! You bad fox! You bad fox!"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, Lord of Du Mountain immediately flew into a rage.

If the dignified Lord of Du Mountain were really dragged out and paraded through the streets by Yin Yunze, she would have no face to show her face here anymore.

In particular, Lord of Du Mountain had just boasted to his newly recruited group of henchmen. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was about to be paraded through the streets. The thought of being pointed at and gossiped about by his underlings made Lord of Du Mountain want to die!

"----I'll change!"

As Lord of Du Mountain gritted her teeth and agreed, her elephant-like body began to shrink rapidly.

Then, as they watched Lord of Du Mountain's body shrink smaller and smaller, the gazes of both the divine and mortal beings became somewhat subtle.

Unlike the imposing giant winged tiger of its prototype, the prototype of Lord of Du Mountain is actually a little girl who looks no more than eight years old.

The Vajra Rope did not disappear because of Lord of Du Mountain's Transformation; on the contrary, it became even more tightly wrapped around him as Lord of Du Mountain's size decreased.

The Vajra rope that originally bound Lord of Du Mountain's elephant-like form was now tightly binding Lord of Du Mountain's petite body, making her look like a large caterpillar with a human head.

The human form of Lord of Du Mountain had long, black hair that reached his waist, and a small, exquisitely sculpted face, except for his small, red nose, which somewhat disrupted the overall harmony.

What is most striking are her slightly amber eyes.

At this moment, a few tears glistened in his amber eyes as he looked up at the divine and mortal bodies, saying, "You wicked fox! Go ahead and laugh! My mighty body, after Transformation, is so frail—"

Silently watching Lord of Du Mountain with his eyes brimming with tears, the divine body felt that, apart from those two small tiger teeth, there was absolutely no way to connect him with Lord of Du Mountain.

At the same time, the divine body also understood why no one had ever seen Lord of Du Mountain in human form.

After all, Lord of Du Mountain was so averse to his petite human form that he naturally wouldn't let outsiders see it.

Moreover, even if it were such a coincidence that someone saw it...

Who would have thought that the true form of this eight-year-old girl would be the giant, elephant-like Lord of Du Mountain?

"This guy's eight years old?"

Seeing the divine body remain silent, the mortal body poked her waist again and laughed, "You're abusing children!"

"You hit harder, didn't you!" he retorted irritably, then whispered, "What do we do now?"

After all, Lord of Du Mountain wasn't an evil god, and the conflict arose because Yin Yunze thought Lord of Du Mountain was going to force himself on her.

As a result, after giving Lord of Du Mountain a sound beating, they discovered that beneath the terrifying tiger's skin was an eight-year-old girl.

Unlike the custom-designed appearance of those Seeking Bestowal Transformation, monsters like Lord of Du Mountain are those who have entered the Transformation Stage Transformation a proper manner.

Her apparent age when she was in human form is unknown, unless it's a special preference.

Otherwise, it's either related to biological age or psychological age.

In other words, although he may be three or four hundred years old, Lord of Du Mountain could very well be a child with the mind of a few years old!

Considering Lord of Du Mountain's winged tiger-like appearance, the divine body could only guess that it was probably related to her bloodline.

Perhaps it was because of that ancient bloodline that Lord of Du Mountain's body matured, but his mental development lagged behind.

Furthermore, as the rumors suggest, Lord of Du Mountain has always stayed in her Du Mountain. Apart from occasionally going out to rob the local Land God and forcing others to be her lackeys for her amusement, there's been no news of her having any other social interactions.

You suggested just killing him, but I really can't bring myself to do it to his divine body.

After all, once the misunderstanding was cleared up, there was actually no irreconcilable deep-seated hatred between the two sides.

Moreover, Yin Yunze also had to consider the reactions of the other Orthodox God after killing Du Lord of Du Mountain.

If killing other Orthodox God would provoke their hostility...

Killing Lord of Du Mountain would cause a panic and upheaval among the Orthodox God, making everyone feel insecure.

However, letting it go like that made the divine body feel even more uneasy.

After all, this is truly a case of letting a tiger return to the mountains.

This Lord of Du Mountain is quite troublesome. It was because he underestimated Yin Yunze this time and was not on guard at the beginning. Later, Yin Yunze used the Demon-Summoning Banner to restrict him and also found a mortal body to hide underground.

That's how they captured Lord of Du Mountain, seemingly so easily.

But if it's the next time, and Lord of Du Mountain is on guard, it won't be so easy.

After all, highly maneuverable flying units have always been difficult opponents to deal with.

However, if one were to actually do something to this Lord of Du Mountain, his overly immature human form would make things difficult for the divine body.

"Now that things have come to this, let's just go with the flow!" Sensing the dilemma arising from the divine body's slightly higher moral standards, the mortal body shrugged and said, "If you're shy, I'll do it!"

He knelt down in front of Lord of Du Mountain, and the mortal body reached out a finger and poked Lord of Du Mountain's little face.

In response, Lord of Du Mountain let out a soft "Ah!" and prepared to bite Yin Yunze's finger.

After Yin Yunze easily dodged him, Lord of Du Mountain said fiercely, "You wicked fox! What do you want to do!"

"What am I supposed to do? That is indeed a question." Looking at Lord of Du Mountain, Yin Yunze chuckled, "In any case, you can't deny one thing now: you are my prey, aren't you?"

"You!" Lord of Du Mountain's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this. "You wicked fox! You want to eat me? You, you, you, this is going too far! I possess the bloodline of the High Antiquity mythical beast Wind and Thunder Wing-Shaking Tiger! And you only think about eating me!"

Before this, Lord of Du Mountain was truly unafraid of what Yin Yunze might do to her.

The fact that the two could still communicate properly indicates that Yin Yunze did not intend to kill her.

Moreover, Lord of Du Mountain never actually did anything to Yin Yunze from beginning to end.

Instead, it was Yin Yunze who inexplicably struck first, punching her in the nose.

Whether they are both Orthodox God or both mythical beasts.

Lord of Du Mountain didn't think Yin Yunze would actually do anything to her.

After all, even if Lord of Du Mountain wins this time, she still won't really do anything to Yin Yunze.

There are not many exotic beasts left in this world. If you finally encounter one, you should support each other and grow together.

However, Yin Yunze specifically pointed out that Lord of Du Mountain was the prey, making Lord of Du Mountain realize that Yin Yunze's thoughts might be very different from hers.

After all, the word "prey" wouldn't be used when dealing with one's own kind.

"I never said I wanted to eat you!"

Hearing Lord of Du Mountain's words, Yin Yunze was speechless. She simply wanted Lord of Du Mountain to feel that she was in a vulnerable position.

However, when Lord of Du Mountain mentioned this, Yin Yunze asked curiously, "So, are you tasty? I heard that ordinary tigers aren't very tasty!"

"I'm not like ordinary tigers! I must taste good, right?! No, I'm absolutely delicious!"

As he spoke, Lord of Du Mountain twisted his caterpillar-like body.

If Yin Yunze wasn't mistaken, she seemed to be proudly puffing out her chest.

"So, if the Transformation body is too immature, will it affect normal intelligence?"

Yin Yunze could only conclude that Lord of Du Mountain's performance was as described.

Of course, Yin Yunze was unaware that Lord of Du Mountain acted this way entirely because of her identity Nine-Tailed Fox.

After all, as a mythical beast, Lord of Du Mountain naturally looked down on other ordinary wild animals that had transformed into monsters.

In her daily interactions with ordinary monsters, she always maintained the airs of a mythical beast.

Judging from his Transformation appearance, Lord of Du Mountain is nothing more than an immature child.

How many children that age aren't playful?

However, Lord of Du Mountain hadn't found anyone like him to play with before.

Even other Orthodox God, in Lord of Du Mountain's eyes, are not qualified to play with her.

But Yin Yunze is different from ordinary monsters. As Nine-Tailed Fox, Yin Yunze is also a mythical beast.

Moreover, it is Nine-Tailed Fox, a creature of extraordinary status among mythical beasts.

Furthermore, regardless of the process, the result was that Yin Yunze defeated her and captured her.

Therefore, in front of Yin Yunze, who had defeated his own kind, Lord of Du Mountain naturally didn't need to put on airs as a beastly mountain lord.

Without having to think about whether it's appropriate to say something, you can naturally say whatever you want.

Even adults often speak in a childish way without thinking.

Unable to resist rolling his eyes, Yin Yunze said irritably, "So, what you're saying is that you want me to eat you up?"

"No, no— Qingnü, please don't eat me!" Looking at Yin Yunze, Lord of Du Mountain finally lowered his head slightly. "How about this, I don't want you to be my wife anymore! I'll be your wife, and have your children—"

"No way!" Looking at the little brat in front of him, Yin Yunze really couldn't hold back anymore. "You, how come all you can think about is having babies? Besides, we're both women, how are we supposed to have babies!"

"Yes, I can!" Looking at Yin Yunze, Lord of Du Mountain said very seriously, "As long as you give me a trace of your bloodline and soul, I can have a child for you! Qingnü, would you like your child to look more like you or more like me?"

---- Immortal Method, isn't it amazing!

After silently making a complaint, Yin Yunze realized that Lord of Du Mountain was actually very serious about having children.

However, Yin Yunze had absolutely no interest in this.

"I don't want children!"

"Qingnü! How could you think like that!"

Upon hearing this, Lord of Du Mountain looked at Yin Yunze in shock and said, "You must know, there are very few beasts like us left in this world! If we don't have more children, our ancestral bloodline will end with us!"

For a fleeting moment, Yin Yunze thought he was encountering some kind of feudal remnant, and couldn't help but say, "----What kind of feudal old fogey are you---- Okay, I almost fell for your act; you really are a several-hundred-year-old grandmother----"

Unlike Lord of Du Mountain, Yin Yunze has no ancestral bloodline.

Or rather, after becoming like this, Yin Yunze no longer has any ancestral blood in her; she is the first generation.

Therefore, Yin Yunze didn't care at all about the shame that not continuing the bloodline would bring to his ancestors.

"I am indeed over four hundred years old."

Upon hearing this, Lord of Du Mountain nodded, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed with delight, "I've got it! Actually, if you could give me more bloodline and soul essence, I could give birth to two at once! One like you, and one like me! That would be perfect!"

Seeing Lord of Du Mountain's serious expression, Yin Yunze was utterly speechless.

So, what sins have I committed to deserve this? Having to discuss how many children to have with an old woman who looks after an eight-year-old?
