A passing photographer was exploring a corner of the Firefly Comic Exhibition. While crouching to tie his shoelaces, he suddenly spotted an adorable spirit disguised as a Nine-Tailed Fox Beast Girl with white, twin-tailed hair!
All those moe elents instantly burned away every stray thought in the photographer's mind, leaving him with only one crude, though not vulgar, idea: SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!
Only then did he notice another person standing next to the white-haired little girl. His gaze slowly traveled upwards, taking in black pants, a black cloth shirt, and then...
Damn! What a fierce-looking Jingju painted face!
And with twin tails, too! Why would a grown man wear twin tails? Wouldn't being bald be better? Give back my twin-tail fantasy!
The photographer had resolved to sneak a photo no matter what. However, the Painted Face Person's gaze was so sharp it made the photographer's heart pound with panic, and he didn't dare lift his cara.
After staring the photographer into a hasty retreat, Ren Suo lowered his head and gently touched the Little Nine-Tailed Fox's small head. Her ears perked up; they were warm to the touch. When Ren Suo's hand pressed down, they would imdiately bounce back—clearly her real ears.
So, does she have human ears too? The thought suddenly surfaced in Ren Suo's mind.
But the Little Nine-Tailed Fox's hair was dense, completely covering the sides of her head, so Ren Suo couldn't see if she had human ears. He was resolved, however, not to delve into this matter. Whether she had them or not, Ren Suo felt it would be peculiar.
It's fine that they're covered, Ren Suo thought, touching the little girl's fox ears. She visibly enjoyed his touch, her face beaming with delight.
"...Little Jiu?" Ren Suo asked tentatively.
The little girl blinked, nodded her small head, then lifted it high and said to Ren Suo, "Although you're not Big Sister... Big Brother is fine, too. Big Brother, you were super cool in that fight just now!"
Ren Suo smiled sheepishly, not ntioning that it had actually been a stage play. He asked, "How did you recognize ?"
The little girl poked Ren Suo's pocket. "Big Sister's cup! Big Sister often drinks the white liquid from the cup! It has a very warm scent!"
Ren Suo suddenly recalled that in *Midnight Walker*, the Little Nine-Tailed Fox had once served as a mascot at the Ghost Stall. Back then, the Little Nine-Tailed Fox had played with the Pure White Mini Holy Grail as if it were a toy and would naturally rember the 'sensation' of the Pure White Mini Holy Grail.
Ren Suo believed that the Little Nine-Tailed Fox could discern the "Pure White Mini Holy Grail," just as the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade could accurately recognize the "Goddess Jade Pendant." Perhaps it was a special Talent of monsters to rember the sensation of unique treasures?
Then, the ga's hint for Ren Suo to equip the "Pure White Mini Holy Grail" beca crystal clear—it was so the Little Nine-Tailed Fox could recognize him!
Ren Suo reviewed his actions at the comic exhibition. First, he perford in a stage play. Then, in the ga, he used rit Points to direct the crowd's attention using the play's foreshadowing. This triggered a human herd effect, causing more and more people to watch the stage play.
At that ti, the Little Nine-Tailed Fox might have co to the vicinity of the stage out of curiosity or due to the flow of people.
In the Little Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes, Ren Suo wouldn't look much different from others. But because Ren Suo was carrying the "Pure White Mini Holy Grail," the Little Nine-Tailed Fox could imdiately identify him, successfully making the connection!
"Big Brother... are you, like Big Sister, also part of Little Jiu's family?" Little Jiu pursed her lips, her small hands gripping Ren Suo's pants tightly. Her big eyes were slightly moist, as if she would cry if Ren Suo said no.
Having sorted out the cause and effect, Ren Suo knew he had been clearly maneuvered by the ga. He sighed softly, squatted down, and hugged Little Jiu.
Little Jiu's body was so soft, and her tails were so comfortable to touch. However, Ren Suo was in a state of 100% Determination Value. He had not a trace of vulgar thoughts in his heart, only noble ideas. "Yes."
Little Jiu's tears turned to laughter. She hugged Ren Suo tightly and whispered in his ear with a soft, sweet voice, "Big Brother, Little Jiu ca to find you to play as promised... But, Little Jiu doesn't have ti to play now... Big Brother, will you... will you still protect Little Jiu?"
"Of course, I will," Ren Suo said boldly. "As long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer the slightest harm!"
Little Jiu clapped her hands excitedly but then grew a bit nervous. "Then let's hurry, Big Brother! I've been here for so long; they'll catch up soon."
Ren Suo's heart skipped a beat. "Who are they?"
"Very an people! They want to steal my Clothing. They chased from the ground to the sky, and from the sky to a ship, never giving up. I hate them..." Little Jiu said worriedly. "If I don't have this Clothing, I won't be able to beco like that big sister..."
The white outfit Little Jiu was currently wearing was very cute. However, compared to her ears and nine tails, it just looked like ordinary children's wear.
"You an, you're able to transform into a human because of this Clothing?" Ren Suo blinked, already inclined to believe her. It had only been a little over a month since *Midnight Walker*. For the Little Nine-Tailed Fox to transform into a human in such a short ti, there must have been so external help.
Little Jiu nodded, spun around happily, and asked, "Pretty, isn't it?"
A passing young woman caught sight of this scene and instantly felt dizzy, as if her nose were about to bleed.
"Pretty," Ren Suo nodded. But with his Determination Value at 100%, he wasn't going to be easily swayed by cuteness. "But where did you get this Clothing?"
Little Jiu tilted her head. "Hmm? I got it from a very—desolate place!"
"A desolate place?"
"Yes, there was a lot of sand, and no one around! It's very, very far from the city!"
Could Little Jiu have really found Heaven and Earth Treasures in the wild? But why was she being hunted?
Who were those people called Pallbearers in the ga, in reality?
At that mont, Little Jiu tugged at Ren Suo's trousers, a hint of fear on her face as she said, "Hurry, let's go! They're going to find out I'm here! I can't stay in the sa place for too long, or they'll catch up and eat !"
Dismissing these thoughts from his mind, Ren Suo knew there was only one thing he needed to do now. He picked up Little Jiu and headed to his chosen battleground—the won's restroom.
Ren Suo found that this ga always had a strong connection to restrooms, which was in terrible taste. Of course, Ren Suo would never admit it was his own spontaneous idea during his initial gaplay to choose the won's restroom as a battleground.
Arriving outside the won's restroom on one side of the Comic Exhibition, Ren Suo said to Little Jiu, "You hide in the stall furthest inside, and don't co out unless I call for you."
Little Jiu trusted him completely. She nodded, and with her nine little tails swaying, she tiptoed into the won's restroom.
Ren Suo positioned himself not far from the won's restroom, awaiting the Pallbearers' arrival. Just then, he felt a stirring in his heart and patted his other trouser pocket.
The pocket, which should have been empty, now contained a white feather.
Unlike the "Pure White Mini Holy Grail," this feather seed quite ordinary on the outside, so Ren Suo confidently took it out to examine it.
On the surface, the white feather looked like any common goose feather—soft and pure white.
However, when held in his hand, Ren Suo could feel the surging power within it. He felt as though his body beca lighter yet also seed to swell, as if there were a large balloon inside him.
If he burst the balloon within him, he could unleash imnse kinetic energy, allowing him to bridge vast distances in a single step.
This was the prop, the "Mage's Death-Defying Feather," that 'Past Ren Suo' had equipped the Rebel with in the ga. Therefore, the current Ren Suo had naturally received the True Form of the prop.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ren Suo rembered how to use this prop. His complexion instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He stood there dumbly for a good while. Then, he suddenly noticed an adjacent store selling ani character outfits and rchandise. The paleness on his face gradually faded, replaced by an expression of helplessness.
He sighed, walked into the ani rchandise store, and bought an outfit belonging to so unknown ani character.
A red trench coat.
