Chapter 5: Becomes a Pet and is Taken Home
"Huh?" Ye Nanxiao discovered that his hand had turned into a fluffy white claw, and his original soul guide bracelet had thoughtfully shrunk and was now worn on his right claw.
"Awooo?" Ye Nanxiao realized that his voice had changed too, and all he could say was "Awooo? Awooo?"
"Tsk tsk, Xiao'er, it seems you'd better stay a soul beast. ♘♞ ➅➈ş𝐇𝔲𝓧.ⒸＯм 🍮🎄" Xue Di's gloating voice rang out.
"Stop laughing, Snow Empress, think of a way to change me back!" Ye Nanxiao said helplessly to Snow Empress in his spiritual sea.
"Hmm~" Xue Di put on a serious thinking look, then shook her head calmly and said, "I don't know."
Ye Nanxiao, who was eagerly anticipating Xue Di's solution, had a crossroads appear on his forehead. "If I could beat you, I'd make you sing 'Conquer'," Ye Nanxiao thought viciously.
Xue Di suddenly approached Ye Nanxiao, her long, snow-white hair reaching her waist, and her loose-fitting sky-blue robes. Xue Di particularly liked this kind of clothing, but now, within Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea, her beautiful figure could make countless male beasts' blood boil, and her long, snow-white legs were dazzling.
"Xiao'er, you're being naughty. What do you want to do to your older sister?" The closer Xue Di and Ye Nanxiao merged, the more Ye Nanxiao's memories became known to Xue Di, including Ye Nanxiao's fondness for older women.
Ye Nanxiao felt his face flush rapidly, and to avoid embarrassment, he flew directly out of the Sea of Spirit.
The little snow fox limped around, familiarizing itself with its body, leaving footprints of varying depths in the snow.
"Nine tails on my butt are so heavy!" Ye Nanxiao thought in despair.
After a day of activity, Ye Nanxiao finally became familiar with the body of the little snow fox. Apart from being unable to speak, he could still use his soul skills. He didn't want to think about physical skills. Looking at his short claws, Ye Nanxiao thought they posed no threat and sighed, "Woo~".
"The reason must be that I accidentally triggered that scroll. Since it's a bloodline contract, then someone needs to sign it." Ye Nanxiao hugged his own tail, pondering his fox life.
Due to the blood pact issue, Ye Nanxiao urgently needs to find a contractor.
"But this is the far north. Let alone people, even spirit beasts are rare. Are we going to go back and ask Old Bai for a signature?"
"Snow Empress, Sister Snow, please help me!" Ye Nanxiao prostrated himself before Snow Empress within his spiritual sea.
Xue Di recently saw some of Ye Nanxiao's memories from his past life. However, Xue Di, who did not know much about the human world, did not realize that it was another world. At this moment, her sky-blue cheongsam made Ye Nanxiao dare not look directly at her. Her exquisite curves were perfectly outlined by the cheongsam. In particular, Xue Di had tied her hair into a ponytail, which made her even more attractive to Ye Nanxiao.
"I can lift a corner of the seal to use the power within my origin, briefly tearing open space to send you out of the far north? However, I don't know where you will go, but the backlash afterward will be quite severe. Are you sure?" the Snow Empress said calmly.
"Alright, I'm off!" Ye Nanxiao said excitedly.
With Xue Di protecting him, Ye Nanxiao felt that he should be safe.
Snow Empress appeared beside Ye Nanxiao in spirit form, her rich soul power gathering in her hands. With a forceful wave of her hand, a dense blue soul power tore open a small opening in space, just enough for Ye Nanxiao, who had transformed into a little snow fox, to pass through. Snow Empress picked up Ye Nanxiao and threw him into the spatial rift, then transformed into a stream of light and merged into Ye Nanxiao's body.
"If I could beat you, you'd be singing 'Conquer' for me!" Ye Nanxiao thought.
"Hmm?" Xue Di stared at Ye Nanxiao with her beautiful eyes and wiggled her fingers.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Ye Nanxiao admitted defeat once again.
In a quiet alleyway in a town, a small blue crack appeared out of thin air, and a little snow fox jumped out. However, it immediately lay down after landing, as the spatial jump consumed Ye Nanxiao's stamina and caused the backlash that the Snow Emperor had mentioned.
"My body feels weak, my soul power is completely depleted, and my head hurts terribly. How long will this backlash last?" Ye Nanxiao asked weakly.
"With me here, you won't die," the Snow Emperor said calmly.
"The soul tool is unusable, I need to find a place to get something to eat quickly." Ye Nanxiao crawled with difficulty.
Ye Nanxiao is now a snow fox and cannot use the soul tool bracelet. Starving, Ye Nanxiao barely crawled to an old wooden door, gathered his strength, and banged his head on the door, making a faint sound.
"I hope I don't just starve to death like this," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself, speechless.
However, such a faint sound did not attract the attention of the people inside the door, and Ye Nanxiao was unable to meditate, so he just lay there and felt the passage of time.
As darkness fell, lights were lit in every household. Ye Nanxiao gradually fell into a coma. Just as Xue Di was about to intervene, a petite figure walked in from the entrance of the alley.
A girl dressed in civilian clothes walked up to the wooden door, looked at the little snow fox lying at the door, and her big pink eyes instantly showed affection.
The snow fox that Ye Nanxiao transformed into had a snow-white body, nine fluffy tails, and a faint blue line under each eye. Its body was curled up, with its nine tails covering itself. Such an appearance could instantly shatter the heart of any girl.
The girl carefully picked up the snow fox, gently stroking its head. Feeling the snow fox's coldness, her eyes filled with heartache. She held the snow fox in her arms, pushed open the wooden door, and went inside.
Ye Nanxiao felt someone pouring water into his mouth. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a girl holding him in her arms.
The girl had long, wavy blonde hair cascading down her back. She had delicate features, snow-white skin, and eyes like clear water, suggesting how beautiful she would be in the future.
Ye Nanxiao swallowed hard. What was that saying again? There are three good things about lolis. Ugh, I'm getting off topic. What is this little beauty doing hugging me? Has she taken a liking to me?
"You are a snow fox now, aren't you?" The Snow Empress's voice rang in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"Aww?" Raising its paw, little beauty, how old are you?
"Ah, the little snow fox greeted me! Mom, look!" the blonde little beauty said excitedly to a middle-aged woman.
"Nannan, slow down. The snow fox has just woken up. Don't hurt it," the middle-aged woman said to Jiang Nannan with a kind expression.
Ye Nanxiao's smile gradually disappeared, and he slowly lowered his raised hand.
"What's this pretty girl's name again? Nan Nan?"
The blonde, also known as Nan Nan, could she be Jiang Nan Nan from the Shrek Seven Devils? Or is she just a little girl now?
When Jiang Nannan was too young to attend Shrek Academy, the story hadn't even begun.
"Fortunately, there's still time. It's going to be the same path I know. I need to get rid of my snow fox form as soon as possible," Ye Nanxiao thought.
Jiang Nannan excitedly picked up Ye Nanxiao and, seeing his pink paw pads, rubbed her face against his little paws.
"Ouch~" Little girl, watch out, I might hurt you.
Wait a minute? Where are my claws, which are comparable to the Infinity Blade?
A moment later, Ye Nanxiao discovered that Jiang Nannan had cut off all the nails that had just sprouted on his fox paws. Now he was just a mascot. Immediately, his fox head drooped, and he let out a mournful "Awoo~".
Jiang Nannan saw Ye Nanxiao raise his paw and look at it, then lower his fox head and let out a mournful cry. Her mood immediately plummeted, and she said softly, "Little snow fox, are you upset that I cut your nails? Mommy said it's not good for your nails to be too long. I cut them for you, so please don't be angry, okay?"
Jiang Nannan grew up relying on her mother. Although their life was difficult, it was full of warmth. Jiang Nannan was also sensible from a young age and helped with the family's work early on. As a result, she had no friends among her peers and was very lonely. When she returned home, she had to pretend to be happy so as not to worry her mother.
Seeing Jiang Nannan's sad appearance, Ye Nanxiao couldn't bear it. He "chirped" and hugged Jiang Nannan's pretty face with his two little fox paws, rubbing his fox head against hers.
Seeing how affectionate Ye Nanxiao was towards her, Jiang Nannan's sadness vanished, and she began to play with the little snow fox.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Jiang Jia naturally understood the bitterness in Jiang Nannan's heart. Unfortunately, her own health was deteriorating and she felt sorry for Nannan. Jiang Jia wiped away her tears imperceptibly.
Jiang Nannan, whose attention was entirely focused on Ye Nanxiao, did not notice her mother Jiang Jia's actions, but Ye Nanxiao, who was constantly looking around, saw everything clearly.
"Every family has its own troubles," Ye Nanxiao sighed inwardly. "I'll just focus on my cultivation here and help others in the future. That will be a way of repaying Jiang Nannan's kindness."
"Oh right, I can't just stay for free, I still have a storage soul tool on me." Ye Nanxiao tried to take the storage bracelet off his claw.
Jiang Nannan noticed a small ring on Ye Nanxiao's paw and asked curiously, "Little Snow Fox, are you trying to remove that ring?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded and extended his claws toward Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan reached out and removed the Soul Guidance Bracelet. The moment she removed it, the Soul Guidance Bracelet returned to its original size.
"This is a storage soul tool," Jiang Jia said after taking a look.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Jiang Jia curiously, but he didn't expect Jiang Jia to recognize it as a storage soul tool at a glance. He thought Jiang Jia would think it was just an ordinary bracelet.
"Here you go." Jiang Nannan placed the bracelet in front of Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao squatted on the ground and pushed the bracelet toward Jiang Nannan with his claws.
"You're giving me this bracelet?" Jiang Nannan asked, tilting her head slightly.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, pointed to the bracelet, then to the ceiling, then to himself, and then his nine tails wrapped around him as he lay down on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Xue Di asked.
"Sign language, do you even understand sign language? I can't speak, this is my rent." Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
"I thought you'd been hanging out with Lao Bai too much." Xue Di covered her mouth, trying not to laugh out loud.
"What's in here?" Jiang Nannan asked curiously.
"Nannan, show it to Mom." Jiang Jia said, propping herself up.
Jiang Nannan quickly ran over and handed the bracelet to Jiang Jia.
"Nannan, this snow fox is very clever. Just now, it probably meant that it wanted to stay with us, so it gave us this bracelet and probably recognized us as its owner." Jiang Jia said, holding the bracelet.
"So that means the little snow fox will be with me from now on!" Jiang Nannan said happily.
Jiang Jia gently stroked Jiang Nannan's face, her soul power flowing into the bracelet.
The gold soul coins and some clothes that were in the bracelet appeared on the ground.
Jiang Nannan covered her mouth with her small hand to prevent herself from exclaiming, and turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, her eyes shining even brighter.
"Is it intelligent?" Jiang Jia muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly. She turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, but the fox was no longer there.
I'm thirsty, where's the water bottle?
Ye Nanxiao saw a kettle on a table, climbed onto the table, stood on his feet, and picked up a cup from the side to pour water.
Feeling two gazes on him, Ye Nanxiao turned around and found that both the big one and the little one were looking at him.
"Huh?" Ye Nanxiao stretched out his paw and waved, then poured two more glasses of water, gesturing for people to enter.
"Interesting, let's observe for a while longer." Jiang Jia smiled after thinking for a while.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly shivered. It felt like he was being told he was about to leave work but his boss was watching him from behind.
From then on, Ye Nanxiao took care of Jiang Jia during the day and played with Jiang Nannan at night. Seeing how intelligent Ye Nanxiao was, the Jiang family mother and daughter were overjoyed. Jiang Nannan always thought that Ye Nanxiao was a lucky charm sent by heaven to save the mother and daughter.
Jiang Nannan was also very happy. The situation at home had improved a lot, and she no longer had to worry about her mother so much when she went to help out at the store every day.
Furthermore, Jiang Nannan discovered that Ye Nanxiao had a special skill: wood carving.
One night, Ye Nanxiao couldn't sleep. Before going to bed, Jiang Nannan kissed him, and he was excited all night.
"I just stole Jiang Nannan's first kiss like that??" Ye Nanxiao covered the fox's head with his two fox paws and pulled at his ears.
"She's still a little girl, Xiao'er, you should be more careful," Xue Di said to Ye Nanxiao while flipping through a comic book. Ever since Xue Di read a part of Ye Nanxiao's memories, she has become obsessed with the popular culture of her previous life on Earth, especially comics. This makes Ye Nanxiao feel like a homebody every time he sees Xue Di.
Then the snow fox spent the whole night carving a wooden sculpture with its claws. When Jiang Nannan woke up the next day, she was overjoyed to see a wooden sculpture of herself that was three times the height of a small snow fox on the head of her bed. She hugged the little snow fox and kissed it passionately, almost causing Ye Nanxiao to have a stroke.
Xue Di hadn't expected Ye Nanxiao to have this skill. After seeing the lifelike wood carving, she had a wish.
At Xue Di's insistence, Ye Nanxiao spent a whole day carving wooden sculptures of beautiful girls. As a result, Jiang Nannan took them all to a shop and sold them to an older woman, thus increasing her income. Xue Di was sulking about this all day.
However, seeing Jiang Nannan's smiling face, Xue Di's pent-up anger naturally dissipated. She simply asked Ye Nanxiao to carve twice as many beautiful girl wood carvings every day. At first, she also had the idea of carving beautiful boys, but after carving his original appearance and name on them, Jiang Nannan refused to sell them and started calling Ye Nanxiao "Xiao'er," which made Ye Nanxiao feel ashamed and give up the idea.
Ye Nanxiao's status in the Jiang family has risen accordingly, now ranking third. Jiang Jia jokingly says that she should set up a memorial tablet for Ye Nanxiao and make him a true mascot.
