After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 147 Spell Completed

"Fair?" Fox One was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, his androgynous face suddenly shining brightly.

"What is fairness? Matters of the heart are inherently unfair," he said softly, his tone filled with deep helplessness.

He looked up at Chu Xinyao, gazing enviously at Yu Zijing standing beside her; her beast husband was so powerful.

He said slowly, "Although I am a nine-tailed fox and a descendant of a divine beast, my strength is too low." His voice carried a hint of self-mockery. "If it weren't for the fact that you are the Goddess who delivers children, and if it weren't for the powerful beast husband behind you, I might not have dared to express my feelings for you, even if I had been abused by Jiao Xi'er."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But now, I'm so glad I'm a nine-tailed fox. With the ability to take my place, I dare to confess my feelings to you." His eyes held a resolute courage, and his voice, though not loud, was full of confidence.

"Even if I can't stand by your side, at least I can stay by your side and see you." His longing gaze fell on Chu Xinyao, as if she were his whole world.

"Moreover, with the substitution technique, I can save you with my life. I know this may be sudden and heavy for you, but I sincerely hope that you can give me this opportunity to protect you."

Hearing Fox One's words, Chu Xinyao felt a mix of emotions. She had never imagined that Fox One harbored such deep feelings. With a hint of emotion in her eyes, she softly said, "Fox One, I..."

Snake Ink walked up to Fox One and said admiringly, "Fox One, thank you for being willing to risk your life to protect Yao. Our family welcomes you. From today onwards, you will be Yao's fifth beast husband."

Upon hearing this, Fish Bubble grew somewhat anxious. This position as the fifth beast husband was something he had always desired. He also hoped to become the little female's strongest support. He walked over and said nervously, "Snake Ink, I..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Snake Ink.

With a hint of something deeper in his eyes, She Mo gently patted Yu Paopao's shoulder and whispered, "I can't make a decision about your situation. You'll have to ask Yao." He was well aware of Xin Yao's strange inner conflict.

"You've taken them all..."

Chu Xinyao wouldn't give him a chance to make a move, and turned to Yu Paopao, saying, "We'll talk about our business later. I still have some questions for Hu Yi."

"Fox One, your substitution technique is still too dangerous for you. I'm not going anywhere either, so let's forget about it. If you want to stay by my side, then stay! However, we're still relatively unfamiliar with each other, so let's postpone our partnership!"

“Yao,” She Mo pulled Chu Xinyao back, stopping her from continuing. Fox One might be the last nine-tailed fox in the entire Beast God Continent. If she missed him, she might never meet him again. “I’ve already said it. I can’t just change my mind all the time! I’m the number one beast husband and the patriarch of the Mo She clan.”

Chu Xinyao turned her head, knowing She Mo's concerns, but she also had her own considerations: "Mo, I know your concerns, but we should also consider Hu Yi's safety. His value goes far beyond this, and besides, we shouldn't be like this..."

Before she could finish speaking, the inner core in Fox One's hand suddenly moved, streaking through the air like a shooting star and flying straight toward Chu Xinyao.

Upon seeing this, Shemo immediately understood Hu Yi's intention. He quickly moved a little further away, allowing the inner core to fly straight towards Chu Xinyao.

"Ah, this..." Chu Xinyao couldn't dodge in time, and the inner core entered her brow. She immediately felt a warm power spreading through her body; it was Fox One's inner core, and it produced a miraculous effect on her body.

"Oh dear, once the inner core is inside, it can't be removed!" Fox One's feigned frustration made Chu Xinyao want to hit him. Her eyes widened in surprise and helplessness, unsure of what to do.

“Yao, since that’s the case, let Fox One use the forbidden magic on you! Besides, we will do everything in our power to protect you and will never let you or Fox One suffer any harm,” She Mo assured Chu Xinyao.

Chu Xinyao glared at him. How could she not know that the current situation was all caused by these men?

Fox One suddenly put his index finger to his lips, bit it, and a drop of bright red blood slowly seeped out. His movements were gentle, as if he were performing an ancient ritual.

His eyes shone with focused concentration, and the air around him seemed to grow heavy with his movements.

"What are you doing?" Chu Xinyao asked, her voice filled with doubt as she stared intently at Hu Yi.

Fox One didn't answer, but simply shook his head slightly, signaling her not to speak.

He first smeared the blood from his index finger onto his right eye, and then moved his index finger in the air, drawing complex runes.

These runes emitted a faint glow; they floated in the air, as if they possessed their own life.

Everyone held their breath; they knew that Fox One was performing that ancient forbidden technique.

Fox One's every movement was shrouded in mystery. His every breath seemed to be in sync with Chu Xinyao's. His inner core resonated with Chu Xinyao's body, and he could feel the power surging within her.

As Fox One cast his spell, the runes gradually converged into an ancient character "替" (tì), which then split in two. One light-colored rune disappeared into Fox One's brow, while the other bright-colored rune slowly flew towards Chu Xinyao, as if attracted by some mysterious force, gradually merging into her body.

Chu Xinyao felt a warm power flowing through her body, and her skin glowed faintly. This was the result of Hu Yi's substitution technique taking effect on her.

Shemo and the others watched all of this with bated breath. This forbidden technique was a huge drain on Hu Yi, but it was truly a great benefit to Chu Xinyao.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Fox One's forehead, and his face turned pale, but his eyes remained firm. Now was the most critical moment for the forbidden technique. He had to infuse the rune into Chu Xinyao's heart to complete the substitution technique.

[Huh, ah!]

Chu Xinyao suddenly heard Long Tingting cry out in pain.

[Sister Ting, what's wrong?]

After a long silence, Chu Xinyao grew increasingly anxious. Could this substitution technique have had some negative effect on Sister Ting?

She tried to stop Fox One from continuing his spell, but her body was completely immobilized because of Fox One's inner core.

[I'm fine, I'm fine, nothing's wrong.]

?

Is this an echo?

[Sister Ting? What's wrong?]

After another long silence, Chu Xinyao frowned, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't Sister Ting inside her body? Why did the signal seem weak?

[Okay, I'm fine.] Long Tingting's voice was soft, but at least she responded.

Finally, the runes merged into Chu Xinyao's heart, and Fox One's spellcasting was complete.

His body swayed slightly, clearly exhausted, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face; he was finally able to stay by her side.
