Sorry, I forgot to let you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu apologetically opened the cage and released the white-furred little fox inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Xiao Bai? What kind of strange name is that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six-Tailed Void Fox wanted to complain, but she had to act as an “ordinary fox” and couldn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only roll her eyes at Lin Muyu, then gracefully jumped out of the cage, sat on the ground, and elegantly licked her fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Damn human, actually leaving this fox to be neglected in a cage all night!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Bai, let me pet you~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu reached out toward the little fox. The somewhat tsundere Xiao Bai instinctively wanted to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, her body disobediently pressed against Lin Muyu’s soft hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What’s happening? This fox’s body won’t obey?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully recalling the events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she remember that Xinlian had cast a spell on her, making her sign a master-pet contract with Lin Muyu, so she was now a fox with an owner…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How tragic QAQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think that she, a void fox who had roamed the cultivation world for so many years, had ever suffered such grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only been loyal to Her Majesty, the Empress of the demon race, but now she had become the pet beast of a small Qi Refining stage cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So unwilling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Damn Xinlian, ahhhhh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void fox could now only rage helplessly in her heart, looking out the window with somewhat melancholy eyes, constantly muttering complaints in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Your Majesty the Empress, now that I am a fox with an owner, I hope you can take care of yourself.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the contract, she could no longer do anything to harm Lin Muyu, she couldn’t even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant her dream of demon race revival was interrupted again, and they had even lost herself as a great general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh? Xiao Bai is unhappy? Could it be because I didn’t let you out last night? Come into my arms! I’ll comfort you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu very naturally took the little fox into her embrace, while frantically rubbing her and saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Bai, you feel so good to touch~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bai also went from initial rejection to gradually falling under Lin Muyu’s comfortable technique, her body becoming soft and relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After petting for a while, Lin Muyu seemed to think of something and asked somewhat excitedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Bai, can you really transform into a fox girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what her unreliable master said was still quite reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said she would use her as a body pillow, and really did use her as a body pillow…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“! Meow meow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six-Tailed Void Fox directly played dumb, looking at Lin Muyu with eyes that feigned innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Muyu seemed to see through something, her eyes full of suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do foxes make sounds like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeak squeak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Xiao Bai, you can understand what I’m saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bai quickly shook her head, indicating that she couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“? You really can understand what I’m saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I already indicated I can’t speak, how does she still think I can talk?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Bai fox looked at Lin Muyu’s extremely aggressive gaze, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Bai, quickly transform into a fox girl for me to see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although extremely unwilling, she still involuntarily chanted the incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiao Bai fox’s body immediately emitted a white light. After the white light dissipated, a cute white-haired fox-eared girl was sitting duck-style on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore only a slightly transparent pale white veil dress, very alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her tsundere gaze naturally carried seductive charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow wow, so cute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the petite and adorable fox-eared girl, Lin Muyu didn’t have many lewd thoughts in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she focused her gaze on the 6 large fluffy tails behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They must feel very soft to touch~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s face turned slightly red, her gaze obsessed, as she stepped closer to Xiao Bai fox’s big tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bai looked at this extremely aggressive gaze. She, a great cultivator of the demon race, was actually somewhat afraid and shrank back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… don’t come over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was considered a great cultivator of the fox race, she couldn’t use any of her cultivation against Lin Muyu and could only be at her mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knock knock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, knocking sounds came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior sister, why is there a stranger’s voice in your room?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Su Wanqing?! Xiao Bai, quickly change back and go hide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, Lin Muyu felt like she had been caught cheating and wanted to hide Xiao Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Bai helplessly spread her hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Transformation has a time limit, I can’t change back right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Then what should we do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu was slightly anxious. After all, how could she explain to Su Wanqing that such a cute fox-eared girl had appeared out of nowhere in her room…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around the empty room, Lin Muyu finally realized there was nowhere to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was becoming increasingly panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, why should I be afraid? This is a gift from Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu’s mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, Su Wanqing and I are just fellow disciples, it shouldn’t matter if she knows…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bit of wishful thinking, Lin Muyu nervously opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, cold light flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqing immediately drew her Frost Sword and pointed it at the fox-eared girl, frowning tightly, asking Lin Muyu in an ice-cold tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox-eared girl looked at the frost sword before her without panic, instead looking at Lin Muyu with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t hurt her, but her master seemed very afraid of this little girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Put down your sword first, I think I can explain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Oh no, why did she draw her sword? I seem to have forgotten that cultivators aren’t very tolerant of the demon race…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Xiao Bai, I will definitely save you!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Muyu wiped her cold sweat and said weakly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","e0a7157ed773e03d80c5615429452103a0ddb2aa91d4dc94585614f779198078","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-41","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-39",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
