374: Responsibility is the shackle

Xiaobai felt extremely comfortable.

After fusing with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, she felt she had a "bright future," which was completely different from her previously humble origins.

Changing the heavens and earth was nothing more than this.

The Celestial Fox's Qi Sea within her body was powerful and vast, and the Bloodline Power even helped her rewrite her Meridians.

Just by inhaling a mouthful of Spiritual Qi, where previously she would inhale half and leak half, now she could digest seventy percent.

This was the efficiency and space brought by Advanced Bloodline.

Hearing Yinyue's question, Xiaobai proudly raised her head.

She also lifted the three tails behind her butt high up.

Yinyue saw this.

She quickly ran over and lifted her by the scruff of her neck.

And tugged at Xiaobai's tails.

"Ah! Xiaobai, why did you stuff three tails into your butt? Doesn't it hurt? Hurry up and pull them out, how childish!"

As Yinyue spoke, she reached out to pull Xiaobai's tails.

How could Xiaobai's Realm compare to Yinyue's?

Even if she could use the suppression from her Bloodline, she still couldn't suppress the blood relation.

She was in so much pain that she was about to cry.

"Big Sister! Don't pull! These are real! Real tails!"

Jiang Ning was originally watching the spectacle.

He didn't expect Yinyue to actually go through with it.

He rushed over immediately.

"Yinyue, don't pull, don't pull! Real tails, these are Xiaobai's real tails!"

"Huh?"

Yinyue froze for a moment.

She tugged at Xiaobai's tails again.

"They really are!"

Xiaobai was hanging upside down, covering her Face with her front paws in embarrassment.

Her Face was completely ruined by her Big Sister.

Doesn't a fox need Face?!

Yinyue hugged Xiaobai, petting her in her arms, and asked doubtfully, "What happened? Could this be related to the pressure I felt earlier?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ning said, "I brought back some Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox essence blood from outside and gave it to Xiaobai; she just successfully completed the Fusion."

"What?!"

Yinyue was shocked, "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?! The kind of Divine Beast that can undergo Tribulation and achieve Ascension?!"

Hearing this, Xiaobai's recently diminished pride returned. She raised her head, preparing for her sister's shock and praise.

Unexpectedly, the next second, she was suddenly lifted up by her sister, dangling in the air.

Yinyue said regretfully, "Jiang Ning, if you have something this good, you should have come to me! Why give it to this Silly Sweet Girl?! I could trade with you! Sigh, what a waste!"

Xiaobai: ???

She immediately wanted to give Yinyue two "bang bang" punches.

Unfortunately, under the blood relation suppression of her sister, her short little legs kicked twice in the air but ultimately failed to land on Yinyue.

After her frustration subsided.

Yinyue picked Xiaobai up again.

Her words carried satisfaction.

"Then from now on, my Xiaobai will be much more promising than me! Dad and Mom will also be pleased when they find out in the cellar."

"Hmm... wait a minute..." Jiang Ning didn't understand. "Your parents... are in the cellar?"

That's too filial!

"I knew you would misunderstand." Yinyue sighed and said, "When strong cultivators of the Silver Moon Clan who are Rank Three or above die, they refine themselves into Battle Puppets.

In times of clan crisis, these Battle Puppets can be mobilized to fight."

Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

"In that case, your Silver Moon Snow Fox Clan is actually very strong!"

"We're not as strong as you think."

Yinyue said worriedly, "Before me, only the Previous Previous Previous Clan Chief reached the Rank Four Realm, but the Battle Puppet refined after his death is actually quite weak among Rank Four fighters.

After all, it lacks combat consciousness and those Innate Divine Abilities.

It only has Physical Body strength.

Most importantly, once a Battle Puppet is destroyed, it's completely ruined and cannot be salvaged.

It's a consumable item.

Even if there are many remaining Rank Three Battle Puppets, they can't decide much."

Jiang Ning understood.

In the Xuanhuang Domain, if a power wants to be respected, it must have a master of the Nascent Soul Realm.

No matter how many Rank Three experts there are, they are merely fodder for a Nascent Soul expert's wave of the hand.

"Thinking like that," Jiang Ning praised, "you are also the hope of your clan."

"Of course."

Yinyue's eyes held a hint of arrogance. "I was designated as the next Clan Chief from birth. My absorption of Moonlight Essence is the strongest in the clan's history.

The Clan Elders said that in the future, I have a high probability of reaching the Late Nascent Soul Stage, leading the Snow Fox Clan out of our dark Dwelling and allowing us to live under the sun!"

As she spoke, she rubbed Xiaobai's fluffy head and looked down.

Her eyes held tenderness.

"But now we have Xiaobai. Xiaobai has fused with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, and her future achievements are limitless, so..." Yinyue told Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you must work hard."

Xiaobai angrily said, "Big Sister must also work hard!"

Yinyue was delighted.

"Once Xiaobai makes a name for herself on the continent and gives a little back to the Family, I'll be free! The continent is vast, and freedom is what a Spirit Beast should enjoy!"

Jiang Ning suddenly felt that being a Clan Chief was quite difficult.

He remembered that his father was also someone who loved to travel. He had seen many photos of his father before marriage, traveling everywhere.

After getting married, especially after having him, his father rarely traveled anymore.

A person who loved freedom was trapped by his child's "food," "clothing," "shelter," "transportation," and "marriage."

"Responsibility is the true shackles that bind people."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang seems to feel this deeply?" Yinyue said with a smile, "I thought someone constantly traveling like Fellow Daoist Jiang would want to settle down, stay at home, and live a stable life."

"I definitely had that thought."

Jiang Ning gave an awkward laugh.

Shen Jinhuan heard this and grabbed Jiang Ning's hand.

Settle down? Choose me... I'll support whatever you do.

The little girl thought silently to herself.

After all, there were still clan members.

Yinyue didn't stay long and left.

Before leaving, Yinyue told Xiaobai not to show off. Xiaobai currently lacked strength, and Geniuses were easily cut short. Xiaobai needed safety, and Yinyue would keep all of this a secret.

She wouldn't tell anyone.

She was only waiting for the moment Xiaobai returned to the clan.

In the courtyard.

Xiaobai held the warm wine cup and took a sip.

She did not use Spiritual Qi to refine the alcohol.

Soon, she became tipsy.

A pair of light green eyes held moisture.

Xiaobai said sadly, "When we were little, Big Sister always snuck out, and every time she would get beaten by Dad and Mom, and then lectured by the Clan Elders. Now, Big Sister is the kind of fox who, even if you take her out, will quickly return to the clan.

I don't think Big Sister is happy.

She just gave the happiness to me."

Jiang Ning patted the little fox's head and comforted her, "So hurry up and cultivate. Then you can give your Big Sister a long vacation, right?"

"I will!"

Xiaobai said firmly... Just as Jiang Ning and his Family of three were enjoying themselves.

The Tiance Military Prefecture welcomed two distinguished guests.

The Great Family Head and Third Family Head of the Yingtong Merchant Guild secretly arrived at the City under the jurisdiction of the Tiance Military Prefecture.
