Speaking of which...

Youdao's peeping gaze has been there from the very beginning, and the little wolf cub has been paying attention to it for a long time.

He dodged, and a second later, the frightened cry of some small animal came from behind the sacred cherry tree.

When Xin Yan and Mei Wu followed the sound of the call, they saw a small pink fox, which was taken out from behind the tree by the wolf cub.

It could be seen that the little fox was still trying to struggle, with its four short legs flapping in the air.

It's a pity that the back of its fate has been tightly strangled by the ferocious big bad wolf. No matter how hard it resists, it's all in vain.

thump...

After coming back and releasing the little fox on the ground, the free little fox just wanted to run away, but what stood in front of it were two curious little lolita.

Among them, the one in red clothes is okay, and the look in his eyes is pure novelty.

But the other one with green hair had those vertical snake eyes that already made the little fox tremble, not to mention that it always felt the other person, licked its lips towards itself, and its throat moved several times.

"Whew...wow..." With no way to escape, the little fox could only curl up in a ball on the spot, cover its eyes with its tail, and let out a cry that was about to burst into tears.

Fortunately.

Justice may be late but not absent.

"You guys!"

Vivian picked up the two little lolita one by one from behind and took them away from the little fox. The remaining black wolf also moved aside helplessly under the look of the little girl.

After finishing all this, the little girl squatted down next to the curled up little fox. Vivian gently stroked and comforted her, and said apologetically: "Little guy, it's okay. They just acted a little rudely, but in fact

There’s no harm in it, don’t be afraid.”

With a comfortable touch and a soft voice, the little fox finally slowly raised his head and looked at the human who had rescued him. The first thing he noticed was the fox mask fastened to Vivian's waist.

"Hey!" As if he had found a relative, the little fox dove directly into Vivian's arms, burrowing in as hard as he could to vent all the fright he had just received.

Although Vivian was startled by the little fox's movements at first, she soon accompanied the little fox and let him cuddle as much as he wanted.

After a while, the little fox regained his composure and began to communicate with the little girl in "whispering" under the guidance of Vivian.

"Huh!? It turns out you are...from the Yae Clan..."

"But the original Sakura...is like this...I understand..."

When he said that he was a fox demon from the "eightfold clan", the little fox's face was full of pride, but then when Vivian asked about another originally forbidden monster, the expression on the little fox's face darkened.

It seems to have been alone since its birth.

Suddenly, the little fox seemed to have thought of a good idea. After it ran around Vivian excitedly, light bloomed from the little fox's body, and a magatama-shaped brand appeared in front of Vivian.

"This is..."

Vivian hadn't understood it yet, but the system prompt sounded in the mind of the little wolf cub next to her.

[Ding, the forbidden monster "Nine-tailed Demon Fox" has sent you a "Connection Contract", do you accept it? 】

Liao Zixuan: "..."

Blanch!?

Now Feng Aotian won't even act for a while, right? Where's the Water God? There are two taboo monsters in your Thousand Islands, and now they are about to be abducted. Think of a way to save them!

The little wolf cub was still complaining wildly in his heart, but the next moment something even more outrageous happened.

[Ding, you have chosen to refuse]

...?

Facing the little fox's eyes full of expectation and hope, Vivian shook her head after understanding. Instead of accepting the magatama symbolizing the contract, she returned it to the little fox.

After the light faded and the natal magatama returned to the body, the little fox lowered its ears and drooped its head, looking extremely disappointed and aggrieved.

Because Vivian rejected it.

But soon.

"Huh?" the little fox called out in confusion.

Because it saw that the human girl whom it was particularly close to made a strange move after clearly rejecting it. She took off the fox mask pinned to her waist and hung it on her body.

The mask will transform into different forms depending on the holder. When it is on the little fox, it turns into a small bell hanging in front of her neck.

"Well... now it's back to its original owner!" Vivian clapped her hands with satisfaction as she looked at the little fox whose attention was drawn away by the little bell and started playing with it.

When the little fox came closer, Vivian rubbed the little fox's head.

"You are only affected by temporary emotions now. I feel that whenever you have to make a major decision, you should not be impulsive. This is the same for me, so little guy, try not to rely on others and use your own power first.

Eyes, go see the world."

"If you feel lonely, try to make new friends. Did you know that your ancestors once became partners with humans and built this island single-handedly? Humans also built this island to commemorate it.

The shrine has been worshiped and worshiped for generations, and now the important responsibility of protecting the island and everyone has been passed on to you... Come on, little guy, we all still have a long way to go."

The little fox was confused when he was just born. Because of his confusion, he was timid. However, through Vivian's words, when he understood his mission and responsibility, he had a goal to move forward, as well as courage and strength.

The fox wind chime tied around its neck also seems to be happy for the little fox's transformation. The breeze blows, and the crisp sound of the bell seems to be whispering. The pages of old poems have been turned, and new songs are being written.

Uh-huh!

The little fox nodded heavily, feeling ashamed that he had been so hasty and thought of relying on others.

No matter how many expressions there are, it is not as good as actions. It just does what it says. Since it wants to take the first step to make friends, humans are still a little ahead of it, so let’s start by making friends with monsters.

And right now, aren’t there exactly three?

Seeing the little fox taking the initiative to walk towards the little wolf cub and Xinyan and Snake who had returned to their monster forms, Vivian chose to leave quietly and leave the place to the monsters themselves.

The little girl believes that both Xiao Hei, Xin Yan, and the new member Mei Wu are good and kind friends. They will definitely be able to teach the little fox a lot of things and help it grow up quickly.

Little wolf cub: "Little sister, you know why they can transform, but you can't?"

The little fox shook his head, looking forward to it.

Little wolf cub: "Look at this, take out the natal magatama you just gave to the human sister and give it to me to play with. Uncle will... ahem, brother will teach you how to transform, okay?"

....

Xin Yan: "Can you... know how to lay eggs?"

Little Fox:"..."

...

Mei Wu: "Are you... afraid of the heat?"
