“Bang!” With a loud crash, the car shook slightly.
Mu Cheng opened her eyes and stared sharply ahead.
A white fox was standing majestically on the hood of the car, its deep blue eyes fixed on Mu Cheng inside.
The fox’s fur was snow-white, without the slightest impurity. Behind it were several long tails, all standing upright at the moment. They swayed arrogantly as if they were alive.
Mu Cheng counted carefully.
This thing had eight tails.
This…
Could it be the nine-tailed fox everyone kept talking about in her previous life?
No—more accurately, it was a nine-tailed fox that had already cultivated eight tails.
In her previous life, about a hundred miles outside the Jiangcheng Base there was a city called Mu County. Tens of thousands of zombies had gathered there, and all of them obeyed their Zombie King.
Some people claimed they had once seen the Zombie King of Mu County from afar. Judging by its appearance, it was a corpse-mutated human, and beside it was a white nine-tailed fox with eight tails.
Both the corpse-mutant and the nine-tailed fox were extremely powerful. Almost none of the ability users who entered Mu County came back alive.
Knowing that such a powerful Zombie King existed, Cheng Jiang, the city lord, naturally remained extremely cautious. He sent several teams with weapons to Mu County, intending to wipe out all the zombies in the city in one sweep.
But every team that went… never returned.
In her previous life, Mu Cheng had been hung on the city wall precisely because the zombies from Mu County suddenly launched an attack on the Jiangcheng Base.
Mu Cheng frowned deeply and stared fixedly at the nine-tailed fox.
This one must be that same fox. Even if the world had fallen into chaos, it was impossible for several eight-tailed foxes to appear at once.
The nine-tailed fox stared at Mu Cheng with its deep blue eyes, examining her carefully, as if trying to see straight through her.
After staring for a long time, the fox stepped forward two steps and then lifted its paw.
Smash!
The windshield shattered instantly.
Shattered!!!
This was bulletproof glass. She had spent a lot of money to replace it. When verifying the installation, the auto shop staff had even smashed the glass hard with a hammer to prove it was genuine.
Yet the bulletproof glass that a hammer couldn’t even leave a scratch on… shattered like paper in front of the nine-tailed fox.
Tang Nuo, who had just come out of the building, happened to see the fox smash the glass and walk step by step toward Mu Cheng inside the car. His expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously shouted:
“Xiao Jiu, you’re not allowed to hurt her!”
“Awuu!”
Hearing Tang Nuo’s voice, the nine-tailed fox stopped approaching Mu Cheng. It let out a howl and quickly pounced toward Tang Nuo.
Mu Cheng jumped out of the car and raised her gun, aiming at the fox. Before she could fire, the fox had already reached Tang Nuo.
However, the fox didn’t attack him.
Instead, it behaved like a well-behaved puppy, staying obediently by Tang Nuo’s feet and rubbing its head against his legs.
What was going on?
Seeing this scene, Mu Cheng was stunned.
Tang Nuo crouched down and gently stroked Xiao Jiu’s head. Then he spoke in a tone so cold that even Mu Cheng, who was standing far away, felt a chill.
“Xiao Jiu, remember this. You are not allowed to hurt Xiao Cheng. Otherwise, I will kill you.”
“Awuu!”
Xiao Jiu cried out and actually nodded its head in a very human-like manner.
Well…
It truly was a spirit-awakened nine-tailed fox.
But why would it listen to Tang Nuo? Why was it so obedient in front of him?
Tang Nuo patted the fox’s head again, stood up, and walked toward Mu Cheng.
“Xiao Cheng, what are your plans from now on? I want you to come back to the capital with me. Your aunt, uncle, and elder brother are all in the capital, and the main forces are there as well. The capital should be the safest place right now.”
