"Ugh, these are?" Xia Jinhai asked upon seeing the foxfire beasts. This is his first encounter with these fiery cubs.
"They are my foxfire beasts," Shen Yuan told the beta. He remembered that he couldn't disclose that these were minor spirits born from his tails, so he had to improvise a believable explanation.
"I made them by combining my illusion and flame," Shen Yuan lied without blinking his eyes.
The little foxes who heard this looked at Shen Yuan as if they understood his words, and they made a cackling noise.
"Ack-ack-ack-ackawoooo!" It's always fun to see their high and mighty master lying through his teeth in front of mortal humans. Not even the great spirits in the spirit realm have the chance to see the nine-tailed celestial fox spirit looking this desperate.
"These little shits…" Shen Yuan threw a deathly glare, and the five naughty foxfire beasts scampered to Yanyan for shelter.
