Chapter 499

Not to mention, who knows if this was the final form? If three more tails appeared later, she would collapse on the spot.

Time to run!

Just as she was thinking this and planning to retreat, she realized that after this transformation, the nine-tailed white fox did not launch an offensive against the two, and even its hostility had faded quite a bit.

The opponent was just looking at the two, scrutinizing and observing them.

"You are not citizens of Inazuma?!"

Finally, the nine-tailed Moon Fox spoke.

Its silver-white radiance caused space to constantly distort, and the surrounding time and space gradually became chaotic.

"It seems we can communicate?"

Lumine's heart relaxed; as long as they could communicate, it was fine.

Before she could speak, Paimon explained immediately, "We were entrusted by the shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine to come and purify the polluted Twelve Divine Generals barrier..."

Seeming worried it wouldn't believe them, Paimon added, "Before coming here, we already purified three places; if you don't believe us, you can go ask the other three, eh, what were their names... what was it again?"

Lumine: "..."

The nine-tailed Moon Fox nodded slightly, "I can sense the aura of Gouzhen and the others from you; what you say should be true."

"That's really great."

Lumine and Paimon immediately relaxed; the shrine maiden's rumors said Taiyin had a gentle temperament, and they thought they had been lied to again, but it turned out to be true.

Thinking about it this way, the previous three-tailed and six-tailed states should have been autonomous defense mechanisms in a dormant state.

That made sense; otherwise, how could Taiyin in its normal form allow the barrier to be eroded by the Abyss?

"Then, the purification of the barrier here?" Paimon asked tentatively.

"I will be responsible for the purification; it was a bother for you to wake me from my slumber."

The nine-tailed Moon Fox's tone was gentle, mixed with an ethereal voice, extremely pleasant to the ear.

"No, no, no, this little thing is nothing." Paimon waved her hand modestly.

"???"

Lumine was full of question marks; I haven't even spoken yet, why are you making decisions for me? It's not you who's fighting, standing there talking doesn't hurt your back, right?

She originally thought she was shameless enough, who would have thought there was always someone more shameless.

Facing Lumine's death stare, Paimon remained oblivious, still boasting about the process of coming here.

1.7 "Alright, alright, stop talking."

Unable to listen any longer, Lumine finally couldn't help but interrupt her.

"Why, I wasn't wrong at all."

Paimon put her hands on her hips with a confident face; she didn't know who she learned this action from.

The nine-tailed Moon Fox's gaze revealed a smile; it could see that the two had a very good relationship, playing and joking without any restraint.

After a long while, Lumine realized there was a third person watching them, coughed lightly, turned around, and said.

"Pardon the spectacle; since the commission is complete, we should go back and report the situation to the shrine maiden."

Paimon added, "And the reward!"

The nine-tailed Moon Fox nodded gently, watching the backs of the two as they turned to leave, and intended to clean up the polluted barrier.

But suddenly, as if it had received some kind of decree, it pricked up its ears and tilted its head as if listening...
