Chapter 256: Finding the Fox: Hu Liena's Soul Beast Contract

The Nine-Tailed Fox Baisong thought for a long time, but could not recall the Fairy Queen's name.

He had heard the Fairy Queen's name before, but it had been too long, and people did not usually call each other by name, so the name had slowly faded from his memory.

For gods with a God Position, if their true name is called, the deity can hear it, and some curses are cast using names; therefore, in general situations, they are addressed by their God Position and their true names are not called.

Only gods who are very familiar with each other will share their names.

After the Nine-Tailed Fox Baisong became a god, he had also known the Fairy Queen; because they both belonged to the forest, he had known the Fairy Queen's name in the past, but he had never called it.

In fact, if they had shared their names, the Nine-Tailed Fox could have called the Fairy Queen's name before he fell, and the Fairy Queen would have known what had happened. Unfortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox Baisong was too arrogant and did not call the Fairy Queen's name even until his death.

So many years had passed, and the Nine-Tailed Fox felt that he knew the Fairy Queen's name and was very familiar with it, but when it reached his lips, he just could not say it.

"Master Jerry, a god's name is very important. You should have felt this; when others call your name in prayer, you can know it. But some curses can be cast by using a god's item combined with the god's name. To avoid curses, only familiar gods will share their names with each other, just in case they need to pass information to one another."

"So names have this function as well; I truly hadn't discovered that before."

Jerry had heard the content of others' prayers before; at first, he didn't know why he could hear them, but it turned out to be because of this Rule.

"You tell me the Fairy Queen's name; it's fine. Even if she finds out, I will explain it to her."

Although the Nine-Tailed Fox had explained, Jerry still wanted to know the Fairy Queen's name.

"This... this... I have forgotten the Fairy Queen's name. I only remember that the Fairy Queen's name is very long and also a tongue-twister."

The Nine-Tailed Fox did not dare to meet Jerry's gaze and said, looking aggrieved.

After all that, explaining so much to me, it turns out you forgot it yourself! You are a god-level powerhouse, at least; how can you not even remember a name?

"Baisong, oh Baisong, you are a god-level powerhouse, and from a race with powerful Spirit Power, yet you can't even remember a name?"

Jerry asked in disbelief. No matter how you put it, it was just a name; how much of a tongue-twister could it be?

"It's not that, Jerry. The Fairy Queen's name has over two hundred characters! It is really hard to remember. Otherwise, when I fell back then, I would have shouted the Fairy Queen's name long ago."

Speaking of this, the Nine-Tailed Fox Baisong felt even more aggrieved. His arrogance back then was one aspect, but another was that he hadn't remembered the Fairy Queen's name. Otherwise, how could he have been worn down to death? He had the time, but he just hadn't remembered it.

The only thing the Nine-Tailed Fox remembered was that the Fairy Queen's name had over two hundred characters, which was why he felt it was familiar before but couldn't say it.

"Over two hundred characters?"

The Fairy Queen's name couldn't be a foreign name, could it! So long!

Looking at the Nine-Tailed Fox's unreliable appearance, Jerry also understood why he was so unlucky.

You can't even remember a name; you deserve your bad luck!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What are your plans next? Are you planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, or to contract with Hu Liena?"

"I suggest it is better not to contract. After contracting, Cultivation will mutually feed back, but you are already god-level; there is nothing to feed back."

"And after contracting you, Hu Liena's effect of accelerating the Cultivation of fox Soul Beasts will also be useless; it is a complete waste."

"After reaching the god-level, the main thing is to comprehend Rules. The Rules you comprehended before the contract cannot be fed back. It would be better to raise newborn Soul Beasts; as they grow, once they comprehend Rules, they can directly feed them back."

Jerry stated the pros and cons of the Summoner contract, letting the Nine-Tailed Fox choose for himself.

It was indeed true; after contracting the Nine-Tailed Fox, strength would indeed double, but one had to plan for the future. Jerry still felt it was best to contract nine newborn foxes; once they grew up, they would be nine god-level powerhouses.

"Alright then, I'll listen to you."

"By the way, draw some blood for me first!"

Jerry had been thinking about the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood for a long time. Since he had gone through the trouble of resurrecting him, he absolutely had to draw plenty.

After all, it was something they had agreed upon before; he didn't expect it to come so soon. The Nine-Tailed Fox was a bit helpless, but he still extended his forelimb to let Jerry draw blood.

After drawing a large tube of blood, he discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood was red with a hint of gold. This blood had not yet fully transformed; in Jerry's view, the Nine-Tailed Fox was a bit of a waste.

In fact, it was mainly because the Nine-Tailed Fox's body had just been resurrected and lacked energy. Transforming the bloodline required a lot of energy, and the Nine-Tailed Fox could neither create clones nor recover in the universe; therefore, he was constantly lacking energy.

However, it was also fine that the bloodline had not yet fully turned into God Blood. Once it did, the difference in life level would be too great, and foxes that had not become gods would not be able to absorb it.

Afterwards, he grabbed a handful of Blood-Building Pills for the Nine-Tailed Fox to consume, letting him recover the lost blood as soon as possible.

He didn't know how many Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pills refined from the Nine-Tailed Fox's bloodline Dabai would need to evolve, but it was better to be prepared.

The Nine-Tailed Fox had a huge body, so a lot of blood could be drawn at once. Setting up a Time Array, Jerry began to refine pills.

All the blood was refined, totaling three hundred Fox Blood Pills.

After finishing the Fox Blood Pills, Jerry brought the Nine-Tailed Fox to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As soon as he arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, Jerry saw Dabai leading three little Emerald Swans causing trouble everywhere.

He pulled them into the Small Courtyard in one go.

Dabai was catching a Rabbit with the three little ones, and then was suddenly moved into the Small Courtyard. At first, she didn't react, but seeing it was Jerry, she immediately rushed over and hugged Jerry.

"Master, I missed you so much!"

"Dabai, you are not allowed to call me Master; call me Brother from now on."

Jerry had said it many times, but Dabai wouldn't listen in the end anyway and still called him Master.

Dabai's eyes always saw Jerry first. After hugging Jerry, she saw a fox following behind him. A kind of Bloodline Suppression came over her, and Dabai trembled a few times.

In the fox race, bloodline ranks are strict; high-level bloodlines naturally carry pressure over low-level bloodlines, which is why she was afraid and trembled when she saw the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Master, this fox is so scary."

"Dabai, don't worry, this fox is one of our own. He is a Nine-Tailed Fox, with one more tail than you, which is why you feel afraid. Look, I brought a different kind of Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pill this time; eat it and see the effect."

Jerry was actually looking forward to Dabai becoming a Nine-Tailed Fox. Baisong was wild, so of course, he was different from one he had raised since she was small.

One, two, three...

After Dabai ate the 20th one, her body began to evolve. She instantly transformed back into her original form, and then her whole body began to glow. A tail quietly grew out, and in an instant, a powerful pressure spread out; this was the evolution succeeding.

Dabai's body size also grew by a factor of one, and the Small Courtyard became crowded. Dabai soon woke up, and then controlled her body to begin transforming; not long after, she turned into a little girl again.

After evolving, Dabai looked around foolishly. When she saw the Nine-Tailed Fox again, she was no longer afraid in her heart; the Bloodline Suppression was gone.

Although she knew that the Fox Blood Pills Jerry refined could help evolve bloodlines, after witnessing it with her own eyes, she was still deeply shocked. Evolving a bloodline was directly changing one's talent.

Jerry let Dabai consolidate for a while, while he went into the forest to find a fox Soul Beast for Hu Liena to contract.

Anyway, with pills in his hand, he didn't need to care about the quality of talent at all, as long as the attributes were different.

Among the fox population, Jerry only found foxes of six attributes: Wind Fox, Fire Fox, Ice Fox, Thunder Fox, Light Fox, and Dark Fox.

Xiaobai is an Illusion Fox; there is not a second one in the Star Dou Forest.

Not to mention the Demon Fox, which went extinct long ago.

The Dark Blood Fox is likely extinct as well.

Even if the Illusion Fox is found, two more are still missing; it is a bit difficult.

However, one could ask the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox; it should understand the fox species.

"There are many types of fox species. Normal foxes include: Gold Fox, Wood Fox, Water Fox, Fire Fox, Earth Fox, Thunder Fox, Light Fox, Dark Fox, and Demon Fox. Then there are the mutated ones: Wind Fox, Ice Fox, Illusion Fox, Silver Fox, Snow Fox, Purple Lightning Flying Fox, and Dark Blood Fox."

"However, I do not know if they are extinct now. Most of them should not be; after all, the Fox Clan is very intelligent. The Demon Fox and Dark Blood Fox are definitely extinct. In ancient times, other races looked down upon our two categories of foxes."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox explained the types of foxes to Jerry. The fox family is quite vast, with so many varieties.

Subsequently, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox introduced the appearance and living habits of each type of fox to Jerry, so that Jerry could search more easily.

After understanding this, Jerry released his divine sense and began to scan all the forests on the continent.

In the direction of the Extreme North, inside the Frozen Forest, Jerry soon saw three types of foxes: Snow Fox, Illusion Fox, and Ice Fox.

There were cubs among both the Snow Foxes and Illusion Foxes. With a single thought, the two cubs disappeared instantly and then appeared in front of Jerry.

Under the suppression of the two Nine-Tailed Foxes, the two cubs lay on the ground shivering.

Now the divine sense began to probe toward the east, to the Green Shade Forest and the Wind Canyon, and finally, the Wind Fox population was found there.

Using the same method, a cub was moved over.

With all nine cubs gathered, Jerry called out to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox with the cubs and returned directly to the Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena had been waiting for a long time. After her martial soul left her body and her Spirit Rings were missing, she did not need to cultivate to stabilize her cultivation, so she had been waiting here for Jerry and the others to return.

Sitting by the window, looking in the direction of the Tribulation Crossing Site, the power of the Heavenly Punishment was immense. Although it could not be seen clearly in Wuhun City, the pressure after the appearance of the Heavenly Punishment could be felt.

However, most people in the Spirit Hall had experienced it twice and were used to it, feeling that it would appear once every so often.

Previously, Hu Liena did not know what this feeling was, but now she finally knew; it was Heavenly Punishment, and she could not help but worry for Jerry in her heart.

Only when she saw Jerry appear before her did her tightly furrowed brows relax.

"Hu Liena, we are back. The contracted Soul Beasts have also been found for you."

As Jerry spoke, he released the nine fox cubs.

The fox cubs that had just been released were a bit frightened, whimpering softly.

Seeing a pile of little foxes, Hu Liena felt they were too cute. Watching them whimper in fear, Hu Liena stepped forward and gathered them all into her arms.

Because Hu Liena had the bloodline of a Demon Fox, they felt very close to her and gradually calmed down in Hu Liena's arms.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's teleportation was clearly slower than Jerry's. By the time it arrived in the courtyard, Hu Liena had already comforted the nine little foxes.

Because of the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and its bloodline pressure, the nine little foxes began to become uneasy again.

"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, withdraw your pressure; you are scaring the little foxes!"

Seeing the little foxes becoming uneasy, Hu Liena did not know the reason and began to comfort them again. Jerry saw it and spoke up directly.

"Very well, I will restrain my aura so these little fellows do not feel it."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said indifferently. It had no good feelings for foxes of other races; after all, among the Soul Beasts that besieged the Demon Fox clan back then, there were foxes of other races.

After the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox restrained its aura, the nine little foxes immediately calmed down.

Seeing that the little foxes were calm, Jerry felt it was time to form the contracts.

With Jerry, the Contract God, personally conducting the contract ceremony, there was no need for intimacy at all; they could be contracted directly.

Contracting the first one, Hu Liena's soul power reached level twenty directly; contracting the second one, her soul power broke through to level thirty; contracting the third one, her soul power broke through to level forty...

Finally, all nine Soul Beasts were contracted, and Hu Liena recovered to the Hundred Level, but her original Hundred Level Spirit Rings were gone and needed to be re-absorbed.

After Hu Liena finished absorbing the Hundred Level God Ring, she felt a bit strange overall.

The first nine Spirit Rings were all white, and the last one was golden.

White Ring Douluo, White Ring Summoner, White Ring God.

In short, it was just a bit strange.

"Hu Liena, this is the Nine-Tailed Fox Blood Pill. Absorb it to first evolve your martial soul into a nine-tailed one."

Regarding the matter of martial soul evolution, Jerry had already mentioned it when choosing the second plan. He did not expect Jerry to act so quickly; the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had only just been resurrected and was already being drained of blood to refine pills. Thinking of her own experience of being drained of blood by Jerry for pills, she could not help but feel a bit of sympathy for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox on the side, it was in good condition and did not look like it had just had its blood drained at all. The bodies of Soul Beasts are indeed more formidable. Based on Hu Liena's understanding of Jerry, he must have drained quite a bit, but the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was still fine; this was impressive.

Hu Liena took the pills and began to refine them on the spot.

The first one, the second one, the third one...

After the fifteenth pill was refined, Hu Liena's martial soul began to evolve.

With her martial soul evolving into the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Hu Liena could now be called a complete Nine-Tailed Demon Fox martial soul Spirit Master.

Ever since the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Baisong left, Hu Liena felt her Spirit Power Control had become even more handy; her original martial soul was indeed better to use.
