Chapter 4174 Invitation
“If anyone in this city knows anything about the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox, it would only be my family. My grandfather entered the Verdant Enchanted Forest back then and I once heard him say that he saw an Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox deep in the Verdant Enchanted Forest.”
He said slowly, adding some tea to Feng Jiu’s cup and some to his own, and continued: “Back then, they risked their lives to enter the depths of the Verdant Enchanted Forest in order to collect a rare medicinal herb. When they were cornered by fierce beasts and had nowhere to go, a small white Nine Tails Spirit Fox appeared. I heard my grandfather say that the Little Nine Tails Spirit Fox jumped onto a tree and called out a few times on the branches. The fierce beasts around them were scared and scattered. It was also because of the Nine Tails Spirit Fox that my grandfather and his men were able to save their lives.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu thoughtfully rubbed his teacup with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking about.
“Does it really have nine tails?” Du Fan asked.
“Yes, ordinary foxes have one tail, but that fox had nine tails. My grandfather was convinced that it was the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox. Moreover, even fierce beasts that were at the level of mythical beasts were afraid of it. There was nothing else but the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox.” w.a.n.g Yu said with certainty.
“The Verdant Enchanted Forest is so vast, it’s not easy to find the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox in the depths of it.” Feng Jiu said, looking at w.a.n.g Yu and asking, “Did your grandfather have a map when he went in?”
w.a.n.g Yu paused for a moment and said, “I don’t know about that. I have to go back and ask my grandfather. Besides, that was ten years ago.”
He then looked at Feng Jiu and the others and asked, “Do you want to catch the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox?”
“Yes.” Feng Jiu smiled and said, “I heard that the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox appeared in the Verdant Enchanted Forest, so I want to catch it and make it my daughter’s contract beast.”
Hearing her casual and confident words, w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t help but say, “As far as I know, this Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox is elusive, and besides my grandfather who saw it back then, I haven’t heard of anyone else seeing it in all these years. After so many years, I don’t know if the Ancient Nine Tails Spirit Fox is still in there.”
“Didn’t you say that your grandfather and his friends met a small spirit fox? It’s only been ten years, so it may not have grown up yet. I think it’s still in the Verdant Enchanted Forest.” Feng Jiu said, looking into the distance.
Seeing this, w.a.n.g Yu said, “Then, why don’t you come back to the w.a.n.g Family with me? I’ll let my grandfather meet you.” He thought about it for a moment and said, “Why don’t you stay in this city for a few more days? Why don’t you stay at my house? If you want to be quiet, I can allocate a quiet courtyard for you to live in, so that no one will disturb you.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyebrows slightly raised, and a faint light flashed in her clear eyes. She looked at him and asked with a smile, “When did you guess our ident.i.ties?”
She had only met him for the second time today, and during this second meeting, he had changed like a person, no longer the same spoiled son image that she had interacted with. Although he had tried his best to act calmly and composedly, the awe in his words and deeds still let her know that he had guessed their ident.i.ties.
As the heir to a n.o.ble family, he should not have been in awe of them, even though they were extraordinary. He could only have guessed their ident.i.ty.
