Fall: Rebirth

Inside the Bishui Palace, the dinner was still going on, with laughter and joy filling the entire courtyard.

At this time, on the roof, Zi Yu, Takizawa and Ling Han were hiding here, quietly watching the excitement in the yard.

"Where did Master go?" Ling Han frowned slightly and whispered. He looked around but could not see Ye You.

"Maybe he is busy with something." Zi Yu replied calmly, his eyes always on the yard.

"Master has been very busy these days, and there is nothing I can do to help." Ling Han lowered his head slightly, a hint of self-blame and inferiority in his tone.

He knew that as a god, Ye You naturally had a lot of things to deal with, but he felt that he was too weak to share the pressure for Ye You.

Seeing this, Zi Yu gently patted Ling Han's shoulder and consoled him with a smile, "Don't think too much. Sometimes the Gods like to be alone and don't need us to follow them all the time. You just need to practice well."

Ling Han nodded slightly, and the self-blame in his heart was slightly relieved. He knew that Zi Yu was right. As a god, Ye You naturally had many things to face alone.

After a moment of silence, Ling Han spoke again, his voice a little cautious: "Master... is she always so cold and indifferent?"

When Zi Yu heard this, a smile appeared on her face. She shook her head and sighed, "As the Lord of the Underworld, the Goddess naturally needs to be indifferent. But in fact, she is only indifferent on the surface."

Ling Han raised his head in confusion and looked at Zi Yu.

Zi Yu smiled slightly and explained, "The Goddess is actually very kind-hearted. She treats us very well. Although she looks cold, she is very protective. If anyone dares to bully us, she will punish them severely. So, you don't need to be afraid."

After hearing this, Ling Han's eyes flashed with surprise. In fact, these days, he has always known that Ye You is not as cold and ruthless as she looks, but he still gets timid when he sees her cold eyes.

He secretly made up his mind to practice hard and become an excellent disciple so as not to disappoint Ye You. Perhaps, she would not be so indifferent.

"Zi Yu, how did you meet the God?" Takizawa's face was full of curiosity. He turned his head and stared at Zi Yu and asked.

"Yeah, I want to know too." Ling Han agreed, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

“You don’t know much about the fox clan yet, right?” Zi Yu looked at Ling Han, blinked gently, and asked softly.

Ling Han shook his head in bewilderment.

Zi Yu spoke calmly, "Foxes are divided into nine levels. In the world of the fox clan, the nine-tailed one is the most respected, so the highest level is the nine-tailed celestial fox, which is also the fox clan with the highest cultivation and the strongest magic power, and its fur is white. The second level is the eight-tailed holy fox, which is purple. The third level is the seven-tailed hidden fox, which is yellow. The fourth level is the six-tailed fairy fox, which is blue. The fifth level is the five-tailed black fox, which is black. The sixth level is the four-tailed yang fox, which is red. The seventh level is the three-tailed spirit fox, which is green. The eighth level is the two-tailed ghost fox, which is gray. The ninth level is the one-tailed heart fox, which is cyan."

"There are so many kinds?" An expression of disbelief flashed across Ling Han's face, his mouth opened wide.

Takizawa also listened attentively without saying a word.

Zi Yu nodded gently and continued, "It takes at least a thousand years to cultivate from a one-tailed heart fox to a nine-tailed celestial fox, and then from a celestial fox to a human form. Starting from the heart fox, there will be a catastrophe every hundred years. If you can survive it successfully, you will grow a new tail. Many foxes unfortunately interrupted their cultivation or died after they had three tails. It is basically not easy to cultivate to five tails or more."

"So dangerous?" Takizawa was shocked, his mouth slightly open and his brows slightly furrowed.

Zi Yu's thoughts were pulled back to the past, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"I was originally an eight-tailed holy fox in the fox clan. There has always been a legend in the fox clan that once every hundred years, a fox will worship the moon. When a gifted purple fox bathes in the moonlight, it will be blessed by God and grow a ninth tail. On the night of the fox worshiping the moon, I happened to have a fight with a nine-tailed white fox. She is a nine-tailed fox, so I was naturally no match for her. Although I was defeated, I would never admit defeat. At that time, the God happened to pass by and witnessed it all. When she saw that I would not admit defeat, her purple fox fur happened to close her eyes. In the end, she took me in as her spiritual pet." Zi Yu's eyes couldn't help but drift into the distance, as if these things were vivid in her mind.

"Then what happened next? How did you become the Ten-Tails?" As Ling Han spoke, his eyes were fixed on Zi Yu, as if he wanted to get the answer immediately.

Zi Yu smiled gently and continued, "Later, the God brought me back and personally guided me in my cultivation. With the help of the God, I finally cultivated a ninth tail, and my strength improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the nine-tailed white fox. Later, in order to show my uniqueness, the God personally asked the Ancestral God to grant me a tenth tail. From then on, I became a unique existence in the fox clan, the only ten-tailed divine fox. This divine tail also contains the powerful divine power bestowed by the Ancestral God. It is not only my pride, but also the key to my victory over powerful enemies."

"Wow, Ziyu, you are so amazing!" Ling Han looked at everything in front of him, with surprise and admiration on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Zi Yu smiled slightly and responded modestly: "This is all due to the God's teaching. If the God hadn't taught me these spells, how could I be where I am today?"

Takizawa echoed, "Yeah, I also feel very lucky. If I hadn't met the God, I'm afraid I would still be trapped in the abyss of the underworld."

Zi Yu nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Ling Han and said seriously, "Ling Han, I know you have rarely seen the Divine Master recently and you know very little about her, so you are a little afraid of her. But in fact, the Divine Master is really easy to get along with. Since you can become a disciple of the Death God Temple, you will also have more opportunities to learn. Believe me, the Divine Master will definitely become an excellent master."

After hearing this, Ling Han nodded vigorously to show that he understood, and replied solemnly: "I understand."

At this moment, a ball of black mist suddenly appeared in the air, like a burning black flame, quickly flying towards where Ling Han was.

Then, the black fog stopped in front of Ling Han, and Ye You's figure slowly emerged from the darkness like a ghost.

"Why did you three come to the roof instead of staying in the yard?" Ye You asked softly with her hands behind her back and a slightly raised face. Her voice was like the sound of nature, but with a hint of coldness.

As soon as Ling Han saw Ye You's figure, he stood up happily, but accidentally slipped and almost fell from the roof.

Seeing this, Ye You didn't show much expression on his face. He just waved his fingers lightly, and suddenly a powerful force appeared beside Ling Han, like an invisible hand dragging him and sending him back to the ground steadily.

Ziying and Qingli happened to see this scene. Ziying couldn't help but take a few steps forward, looked up at the roof and said, "What's wrong with you people in the Death God Temple? You all like to lie on other people's roofs. What if you accidentally collapse my roof?"

Ye You heard this and glanced at Ziying from above, but did not speak. She disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Ziying the next moment, with her hands behind her back, looking at Ziying with an indifferent expression, frightening Ziying so much that he took a step back.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's the matter? The Water God seems to be very dissatisfied with our Temple of the Death?" Ye You looked at Ziying with cold eyes and asked in a cold voice.

"I dare not, I dare not." Ziying waved his hands hurriedly, then turned around and returned to his seat.

At this time, Zi Yu and Takizawa also slowly flew down from the roof. Their movements were clean and neat, and there was no sound when they landed.

Ye You looked at Ziying's dejected look and couldn't help but sneer, then returned to his seat.

“I didn’t expect that the Water God is so afraid of Master.” Ling Han whispered in Zi Yu’s ear.

"That's right. If the God is angry, even the Ancestral God will have to give in." Zi Yu's tone carried a hint of pride.

Ling Han heard this, nodded, and then quickly returned to his seat.

The banquet was still going on, and the whole yard was filled with laughter and joy...
