Mu Feng didn't say anything further. He pushed open the door to the wooden room, stepped inside, and closed it behind him. The room was sparse, with nothing but a bed occupying the space.
Looking closer, he noticed a light pink nine-tailed fox lying lifelessly on the bed. It had no breath of life or spiritual fluctuations. The fox's body was encased in a magic circle, which upon closer inspection, turned out to be a simple time-freezing formation. Such formations were typically used to preserve magical instruments and treasures, preventing their spirituality from dissipating, and also served to preserve physical bodies.
"This looks like the work of Muxue," Mu Feng muttered to himself. He could tell at a glance that this formation was different from the one outside the wooden house. It was unlikely to have been created by the nine-tailed fox herself.
He stepped forward and gently picked up the fox's body, noticing a deep wound on its back. The scar was so severe that the bone was visible, and the surrounding fur was matted with dried blood.
Mu Feng frowned. This nine-tailed fox had reached the God Transformation Realm during her lifetime. Not only was she immensely powerful, but she also held a dominant presence in this lower realm. How could someone of her stature sustain such a grievous injury?
"Qian, can you determine what caused this wound?" Mu Feng asked. As the elder of the Heavenly Pill Medicine Pavilion, Yan Qian excelled in both alchemy and medicine.
"Young Master~"
Yan Qian materialized, her form emerging from the top-grade soul-nourishing jade hanging at Mu Feng's waist. Having spent several days within the jade, her soul had grown strong and full of vitality, and her physical form had also become more tangible. Yan Qian's figure was alluring, with pronounced curves that made her appear both voluptuous and elegant. Her flesh appeared supple and healthy, exuding a sense of vitality without being overly slender. With her exquisite face, she was a vision of beauty, capable of enchanting anyone.
Yan Qian approached the fox's body and carefully examined the wound. She extended her jade-like hand, enveloping the body in her soul power. After a thorough inspection, she gently returned the fox to its original position.
"Young Master, this nine-tailed fox was injured by a blade. The wound is exceptionally deep, inflicted by someone with immense strength. I also detected traces of violent fire energy lingering on the wound. If this individual is nearby, I could potentially track them using this residual energy."
Mu Feng nodded. While he had gleaned some clues from the wound, Yan Qian's analysis was far more detailed.
She continued, "Young Master, this fox has truly perished. Its life force has dissipated completely, leaving no chance for resurrection. Perhaps I should explain this to Muxue—I believe she will understand."
Over the past few days, Lingxiao and Wang Muxue had grown close, to the point where Wang Muxue now affectionately called her "Auntie."
"There's no need," Mu Feng said firmly, waving his hand. "I told her I would revive her mother, and I intend to keep my promise."
Without further hesitation, Mu Feng commanded, "System, revive this nine-tailed fox."

Mu Feng placed his hand on the fox's body, releasing a stream of golden light that flowed into her. Almost instantly, an immense surge of spiritual energy emanated from the fox, shaking the entire wooden house.
The body, enveloped in radiant light, slowly floated into the air.
Yan Qian stood in awe, watching the scene unfold. She could sense the revival of vitality within the fox's body. As an alchemist, Yan Qian was well aware that resurrection was impossible. While countless methods existed to extend life—some allowing individuals to live through multiple epochs—death was final. Once a being perished, they would inevitably return to the earth.
Yet here was Mu Feng, defying that absolute rule and reviving the dead. It was nothing short of miraculous.
Within the light, the fox's body began to heal. The wound on her back vanished completely, and the blood-soaked fur was replaced by pristine, soft pink fur. Her form became whole once more, as though the injury had never occurred.
Suddenly, a burst of golden light filled the room, and the fox's form shifted. The beastly form of the nine-tailed fox morphed into that of a woman.
She had long pink hair cascading down to her waist, paired with striking black eyes. Her figure was graceful and well-proportioned, with long, slender legs and ample curves. Her boobs, in particular, was extraordinary—plump and full, far surpassing Mu Feng's expectations. In fact, even his own mother, Ru Ringyu, paled slightly in comparison. Her bosom was so large it seemed larger than Mu Feng's head.
More striking than her figure was her snow-white, flawless skin, now fully exposed. She was entirely naked, standing before Mu Feng in her natural form, like a masterpiece carefully crafted by the gods themselves.
As she slowly descended, unconscious, Mu Feng quickly caught her in his arms to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Holding her delicate body, Mu Feng's eyes widened in astonishment. What kind of figure was this?
It was perfection incarnate, flawless in every way. For a moment, he thought to himself, I've truly hit the jackpot this time.
