Feng Yin's story continues.
"When the little fox had cultivated hard and produced its second tail, it had grown very powerful and increasingly beautiful... To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, or perhaps to hide its strength, it knew intuitively how to withdraw the extra tail and retain only one just like a regular fox while out in the world. Although it was still much more beautiful than its peers, it did not attract too much attention..."
"After all, rare and unusual things always arouse people's covetousness. If it didn't withdraw the extra tails, everyone who saw it would want to capture it."
Feng Ying looked at him with bright eyes.
Very beautiful, two tails that can be concealed; more beautiful than others of the same kind.
Key-word: Beautiful!
The tail can be withdrawn...
But how to withdraw the tail?
Self-taught, that's hinting without hinting, right!
