Dual Cultivation God Returns

"...!", however, their gazes quickly went to the cute little fox sitting on his shoulder.

"Haha, everyone, meet Fen Baihu. An Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox, and a genuine Mythical Beast", he introduced the newcomer with a smile.

"S-So cute!", before Fen Baihu had the chance to proudly introduce herself as well, Gong Cui and Wu Mengqi ran up to Wu Long with shining eyes.

"C-Can I cuddle it?", Gong Cui then turned to Wu Long with a pleading look on her face as he lightly laughed, while Fen Baihu froze from shock.

He turned to the fox sitting on his shoulder, who first revealed even more shock that he was actually asking her whether it was okay, and then hesitation.

\'I-is this part of our pact too?\', she then thought as the terms of their agreement were not very clear to her yet.

The very idea of being in a Soul Pact with a human was something new to her, so she did not know what he actually wanted from her.

She then reluctantly nodded and he chuckled, nodding to Gong Cui who exclaimed with joy and hugged the fluffy little fox.

"Wai-... you can\'t just-...", Fen Baihu spoke up as she still was emotionally preparing, and Gong Cui froze for a moment, and then turned to look at the fox in her arms that looked at herself.

"I-it can talk?", Gong Cui said with astonishment, with the other ladies that came closer as well, revealing similar reactions.

"Haha, she can, Cui\'er", Wu Long slightly corrected the way to address Fen Baihu, as Gong Cui\'s eyes filled with even more shining wonder and excitement.

"S-Soooo cuuute!!!", she then started cuddling the fox as the latter was baffled how talking made her cuter than before.

"M-me too! I wanna cuddle her too!", Wu Mengqi exclaimed, and after a few moments received the fox into her embrace.

There were also expressions full of adoration on the faces of Hua Ziyan, Song Lingfei, Luo Mingyu, Yu Huan, and Cao Mei who surrounded the fox.

"H-how am I cute?! I am-... Ah~ ....! Y-you dare treat-... aha~ th-this actually feels pretty-... I mean unhand me!", Fen Baihu was struggling to keep her dignified attitude, as occasional rub behind the ear or under the chin by the hands of the beauties actually felt quite comfortable.

Even the usually more reserved Shen Min, Feng Yi and Bi Rui eventually joined the others in at least touching the fox.

Xue Bing, when she finally approached revealed a fascination with the soft pink pads on the little fox\'s legs, silently touching them with not much change in her expression, while Nie Xiwang simply stood close, occasionally glancing in that direction.

The only ones standing completely to the side were Ye Ling, Sui Luxiao, Cao Xiang, Wei Lan, and Lian Zhiqiu.

The latter four were not much interested in the fox, though they understood from Wu Long\'s words that it was a powerful being so they studied Fen Baihu from where they stood with their eyes.

Ye Ling, on the other hand, knew full well the extent of how extraordinary that fox was, and thus even more flabbergasted at what she was seeing.

"Don\'t worry, we\'ve made a Soul Pact", Wu Long spoke with a reassuring smile as he arrived near her.

"Haha... you never cease to surprise me, I knew you were someone who would go far when I met you... but I never imagined the person you would become will so far surpass even my wildest imagination", she first made a slightly shocked laugh, still struggling to process what was before her eyes, and then shook her head with a wry smile.

"It is not like I could have accomplished all that if you did not arrive to save me back then, Ling\'er. My path would have ended there and then", he chuckled, not intending to undermine his own achievements, but at the same time did not making any attempts at dismissing the roles of other people at various points in his life.

She made a soft and gentle smile as he looked at her, a smile that spoke without words and he smiled in return.

"Well then, Fen Baihu, let\'s start introducing you properly now", he then turned forward again to where the fox disappeared into a cloud of mist and a beauty with fox ears and eight tails reappeared in front of Wu Long.

"Khm", she cleared her throat into her small and delicate fist, slightly blushing as the scenery Wu Long saw just before was of her completely surrendering to the cuddling and fondling of the beauties.

"Eh? Y-you can transform?", Wu Mengqi spoke for all of the Dao Family who slightly widened their eyes at the sight.

"Of course I can transform, I am an Eight-Tailed Celestial Fox", Fen Baihu spoke with a bit of pride returning into her voice.

"Mm, Celestial Foxes are Mythical Beasts with incredibly mysterious and even incomprehensible powers, that are known for being in a state between dream and reality, and thus can freely change their form.

That said, they have only one true form for each tail they have, all others being an illusion.

Both appearances you saw of her were her true forms.

The one you saw before was her original appearance when she had only one tail, and the appearance you see now is the one she obtained when she got her second tail" Wu Long nodded, adding an explanation.

"Eight tails, does it mean that someday Fairy Fen Baihu can grow a ninth one?", Hua Ziyan asked, going from the information he gave, as Fen Baihu revealed a look full of coveting and ambition. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"Haha, generally, all Fox species that grow multiple tails as they evolve only grow up to eight tails. But there indeed is a myth that once a Fox grows a ninth tail it will evolve from a Mythical Beast and become a Legendary Beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox, a being that can be compared to True Phoenix and True Dragon"

Wu Long chuckled as he explained.

"Heh, though there are those that insist that the Nine Tailed Fox is its own species and it is impossible for us to evolve to become one, someday, I will...", Fen Baihu snorted with derision toward the nay-sayers who question the validity of the ability of a Fox to evolve to that level. "Haha, although a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox would likely be incredibly powerful, your current powers are already miraculous enough for us humans", Wu Long chuckled, adding "After all, none of us humans have the ability to create a whole World of our own"

"C-Creating a world?!", Gong Cui exclaimed with shock, and though the others were silent their faces expressed no less surprise, with the exception of Xue Bing whose face remained neutral throughout the conversation.

Fen Baihu revealed a proud look as she heard his praise and saw the reactions of the beauties.

"Mm, it is actually one of the reasons I was so determined to become allies. Fen Baihu, if you will...", Wu Long nodded with a smile, and then turned to the fox beauty, and their surroundings changed, as they stood atop a mountain, green forests, lakes and rivers spreading far and wide.

However, there were cracks going through the earth and stretching up across the sky, looking quite bizzare, in the far distance.

"...!", Wu Long\'s ladies widened their eyes as they felt the completely different climate, atmosphere, and saw the scenery.

"...!", however, Fen Baihu\'s expression changed as she looked at Song Lingfei, the space around whom was changing back and forth between the ruins of the Cloud Piercing Sect and this World.

"T-The Grand Void Eagle\'s bloodline...!", the fox spoke with astonishment, but the next moment Wu Long\'s figure appeared before her, sliding in between her and Song Lingfei.

"Easy, she\'s my woman", Wu Long\'s eyes revealed a sharp and dangerous look as the greedy light in Fen Baihu\'s eyes subsided and she shrank back in fear.

This instantly made his beauties realize that they stood in the presence of a Mythical Beast, however harmless she looked.

"S-sorry, i-it was just an instinct", Fen Baihu slightly meekly apologized, her fox ears leaning down as her tails curled.

"As long as it is not repeated. I will give you a lot of leeway and consideration, and will tolerate a lot of things, but not a thought of harm toward them", he spoke with a slightly cold tone, not glossing over the matter, which told her that this was a clear red line for him.

"I got it", she nodded with a look of self-reflection, marking down the first hard rule of this alliance of interests in her head.

"Mm, good", he said returning to a more neutral tone, and then turned to Song Lingfei who looked a bit apprehensive.

"Sorry if this moment scared you. Don\'t resist, and relax, your bloodline resisted on instinct", he gently told her, and she concentrated, the space around her stabilizing.

As Wu Long saw that, and saw the expression of the beauty with azure-color hair ease into a relaxed one, he sighed and turned back to Fen Baihu who was still standing with lowered ears and curled tails, looking down.

"Alright, it was something I should have expected, so there\'s my fault in not discussing this ahead as well. We\'ll set the ground rules from both sides properly later. For now, relax and don\'t be so scared, I am not mad anymore", he told the fox beauty who finally breathed a sigh of slight relief.

"Mm, I should have known that your Dao Family is precious to you, I will reflect", she nodded, understanding her slip up.

"It is good that you know now. For now, why don\'t you introduce your World?", he nodded with a slight smile and she cleared her throat, coming to the edge of a cliff from which the scenery opened up far and wide.

"This is one of my Eight Mystic Realms, the first one I had, and the only one which is relatively stable at the moment", she proudly introduced the world around them to the beauties.

"You see, Celestial Foxes are able to conjure their own Worlds within which they can freely manipulate reality. And though it comes with certain restrictions, their powers are pretty extensive.

They are also able to project their Realms outward, transforming part of the outside world into a borderline-zone, and thus use it as offense", Wu Long explained to the shocked ladies.

"Their powers are ethereal and not exactly corporeal though, so as long as you have a strong Soul and know how to use it well, you can resist the borderline zone\'s influence to an extent.

This world, her core world, unlike the seven others, is very real, and exists in a dimension created by Fen Baihu\'s cultivation. However her powers are more restricted here as it is no longer a dream realm, but a separate plane of existence", he then added.

The atmosphere slightly lightened up, though there was still a little bit of lingering awkwardness in the air. The beauties started examining the world around them, gradually becoming immersed in the excitement of witnessing such a miraculous sight.

This scene might get some to feel a bit negative toward her, but you have to remember that she is a Mythical Beast and not a human.

Plus it is only her introduction chapters, so her character still has a lot of progression. One chap today because it was a busy day ^^"

But it is l quite long so I hope that it makes up for that

Thank you very much for reading and your support everyone!!!
