"If that's the case, then I won't send you to Miaogan Mountain."
"From now on, follow me and properly atone for your misdeeds!"
Yaoyao also understood the utility of the Blood Contract. Generally speaking, spirits and monsters would rather choose death than surrender their Blood Contract. The fact that this fox immortal would readily hand over its Blood Contract proved it wasn't lying; going to Miaogan Mountain was indeed more terrifying than being killed.
With the Blood Contract in her grasp, she wouldn't have to worry about it causing trouble for her parents. Its cultivation was not low; it was even stronger than the Xuan Masters protecting the Gu family. It could perfectly replace her in certain situations to protect her family. This was also why Yaoyao was willing to compromise.
"Thank you, Master!" Seeing that Yaoyao was willing to relent, the Red Fox's anxious heart finally settled. Dragging its exhausted body, it directly activated its mystic arts. A crimson rune quickly condensed on its brow, then, under its control, descended into Yaoyao's hand.
The blood-red rune, like a snowflake, melted into her body upon contact. Yaoyao blinked in novelty. She could sense that she had complete control over the life and death of the Red Fox before her. As long as she willed it, she could make the latter perish at any moment. This experience was incredibly novel, making her quite delighted for a moment.
The Red Fox knew it had been defeated. Its head rested weakly on the ground.
"Stop sighing. It might not be a bad thing for you to follow her!"
Just then, Xuan Jiu walked up to the fox and slowly spoke. In its opinion, it was the fox's good fortune to be able to follow Yaoyao, a fox that had gone astray in its cultivation. After all, with Yaoyao's cultivation, if she truly wanted to, what kind of spirit or monster couldn't she capture? The Red Fox raised its head in surprise upon hearing this. It was astonished that the Black Cat held the little human girl who caught it in such high regard.
A few minutes later, after Yaoyao finished examining the Blood Contract, she also inquired about Hong Jiu's reason for coming. It was called Hong Jiu because it was the ninth in its family, but only it had achieved successful cultivation.
The rest either died of old age or met with accidents; after all, in the mountains and forests, they still had many natural enemies. After it achieved cultivation, it still took its name based on its birth order.
"It was a woman surnamed Yu. She made a wish for me to deal with you."
Hong Jiu, seeing that Yaoyao asked, dared not conceal anything. Speaking of this, it got angry. It wondered how that accursed woman's brain was structured, daring to offend anyone and everyone, yet still managing to live peacefully to this age.
Indeed, its peers were right: cultivating as a Wild God was fast, but the risks were also great. Once it encountered a brainless believer, it would end up like itself now, nearly losing its life. Even if it were allowed to go back and continue, it wouldn't want to.
"Mommy's cousin?" Yaoyao immediately understood the whole situation. She then frowned. She had thought the woman was merely sharp-tongued, but she hadn't expected her to be so malicious.
"I don't like her. You should know what to do, right?" Yaoyao said in a childish voice. If the other party had merely spoken harshly, she wouldn't have cared much, but they had crossed her bottom line. This time, she had sent Hong Jiu to kill her. If it hadn't succeeded, would she try to get revenge on Mommy next time? A fierce glint flashed in Yaoyao's dark, round eyes. She would not allow such a thing to exist.
"Don't worry, Master, I will satisfy you." Hong Jiu quickly assured her upon hearing this. For some reason, despite Yaoyao having a doll-like face, it had a chilling illusion. For Hong Jiu, dealing with the Yu family was nothing strenuous.
After all, everything they currently possessed was thanks to its own doing. As long as it withdrew its assistance, their entire family would completely collapse. Even without today's incident, it would have run off sooner or later; now it was just happening earlier.
"Hehe, then I'll wait for your good news, Little Jiu."
Yaoyao's lips curved into a sweet smile. She glanced at the fox fur in her hand, thinking of finding her Seventh Brother tomorrow to help her make a scarf. Then, she would give it to Mommy as a birthday present, as her birthday wasn't far off.
"This Medicinal Pill is for you. Eat it, and your injuries will heal."
Yaoyao glanced at the somewhat bare and unsightly Hong Jiu, then turned and rummaged through her small pouch for a small pill. This was concocted from many spiritual herbs she had collected. Since Hong Jiu was going to work for her, she naturally couldn't let it drag its injured body, as it might hinder its work.
"Thank you, Master!" Hong Jiu had originally planned to recover slowly, but it hadn't expected to receive a Medicinal Pill. It wasn't afraid that the other party would harm it, as its life was already in Yaoyao's hands; there was no need for such trouble.
Without hesitation, it swallowed the Medicinal Pill. The warm medicinal energy, once dissolved, circulated within its body, as warm as a great sun. Hong Jiu's eyes squinted into crescent moons in comfort. At the same time, brown-red fox fur began to grow on its previously bare body, and within a mere ten breaths, it had recovered to its original appearance.
"What a powerful Medicinal Pill, what incredible means." Hong Jiu looked deeply at Yaoyao. It now somewhat understood the meaning behind what the Black Cat had said. Yaoyao's methods and abilities were far beyond its comprehension.
Perhaps abandoning its identity as a Wild Cultivator and following her would lead to even greater achievements in the future. Thinking of this, it grew even more excited. However, before that, it had to deal with the Yu family's matter to show Yaoyao its capabilities.
"Mhm, mhm, good luck, Little Jiu. I'll wait for your good news at home."
Yaoyao didn't stop it. After Hong Jiu left, she felt a little sleepy and lay back on her bed. The room was quiet, and she soon fell asleep. The next day, she woke up, enjoyed a lovely meal, and then pulled her Seventh Brother into her room. Gu Yu was full of curiosity about his sister's mysterious demeanor, but when she presented the fur to him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Where did this fox fur come from? The color is absolutely perfect!"
Gu Yu's eyes were filled with shock. Although he didn't particularly enjoy such things, his status meant he had seen many luxurious items, so he could naturally distinguish between good and bad. The material before him was undoubtedly top-grade. Where did his sister get this from? Gu Yu's eyes immediately filled with doubt.
"This was sent by the Special Action Group. They said they dealt with a harmful fox demon, and this is its fur."
Of course, Yaoyao wouldn't say that a wild fox had come to harm her, but couldn't win, and was left behind. The reason she attributed it to the Special Action Group was because they would help her cover it up. The result was clear: Gu Yu had no suspicions. He nodded and said, "A fox demon's fur? No wonder it's so rare."
"Mhm, mhm, then, Seventh Brother, can you help me process it?"
Seeing that he didn't ask further, Yaoyao was slightly pleased and then stated her request to have it made into a scarf.
Gu Yu couldn't help but chuckle after hearing her. "I thought it was something big. Your Seventh Brother will handle such a small matter." He didn't ask what his sister needed the scarf for; he knew he would find out when he was supposed to.
"Wow, thank you, Seventh Brother, you're really the best!" Seeing him agree, Yaoyao was so happy she gave him a big bear hug. Since today was leisurely, after Gu Yu agreed to the scarf, he directly took his sister out for a lively outing. Yaoyao, of course, was a hundred, a thousand times willing, and the two immediately hit it off.
However, compared to the lively and carefree siblings, the Yu family was now in complete chaos. Early in the morning, a horrified scream echoed throughout the entire villa.
