CHAPTER 215: CHAPTER 125 HMM! I’M EASY TO TAKE CARE OF! PLEASE PITY ME, MY LORD!_2

She deliberately created the illusion that she was willing to be kept by him; it was just a matter of whether he had the determination to keep a Fox Demon. Then, when Su Yan, after weighing the pros and cons, still wanted to keep her, she would pretend to consider it and coyly agree to become his pet. Afterwards, once Su Yan thought she had accepted her fate, she would seize an opportunity to bolt in the middle of the night.

That was what Jiu Li was thinking.

However, Su Yan’s response immediately made her composure shatter.

With a look one might give an idiot on his face, Su Yan said with slight amusement, "I wonder who gave you the courage to backstab me. Once the collar is on and the dark room is locked, we’ll see if you can even put up a fight then."

Hearing this, Jiu Li’s expression changed slightly. Then, with stubborn determination, she said, "If that’s how you keep pets, you might as well just kill me."

She was serious with that statement. Living a life worse than a slave, locked in a dark room with a collar on, was not even fit for a dog. It would be better to just die.

Su Yan’s words were initially intended to chastise Jiu Li. Seeing her defiant expression, he knew his purpose was achieved.

He quickly smiled and said, "You don’t need to resist so much. As long as you behave as a pet, I can still grant you a certain amount of freedom."

Then, Su Yan continued, "I remember you saying that as long as you absorb enough Essence, those lost tails can grow back, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Li looked into Su Yan’s eyes and spoke faintly, "So... you mean to feed me Essence?"

"That’s where the value lies in keeping you." Su Yan’s tone was emotionless as he continued, "Now, I’m giving you a chance to regenerate your tail; you’d better seize it. If the Essence you need to regrow your tail is within my tolerance, then I’m willing to keep you and feed you Essence regularly.

"But if it exceeds my tolerance, then I’m sorry. From then on, every time I see you, I will kill you until all your tails are used up.

"Of course, you could leave Luo City and fly far away, ensuring you never meet me again.

"But I believe, being the clever one you are, you’ve also sensed that we seem quite fated to meet, always bumping into each other by coincidence."

Having finished, Su Yan looked at Jiu Li before him, silently waiting for her to speak.

Jiu Li took a deep breath and then said, "Since you’ve put it that way, let’s not waste time. You were going to feed me Essence, right? Then you can start now. Hurry up, don’t waste time."

Jiu Li urged before adding, "It would be best if I could meet your requirements, but even if I can’t, at least I’ll die fully content."

At this moment, she truly had no other choice—either to be kept by Su Yan or to be beaten up by him every time they met. With no room for choice, all she could do was take one step at a time. But to be truthful, she was quite looking forward to Su Yan’s Essence. She remembered the scent from the hospital vividly to this day, and every time she thought about it, her mouth couldn’t stop watering. And now, at last, there was a chance to consume it, and it was Essence within the Legendary Level Category, which was quite exciting.

Thinking about it, Jiu Li’s lips unwittingly grew wet, a glistening line of drool appearing under the lamplight.

Seeing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but express his disgust, "Are you for real? You’re even drooling! Do you have to be so disgusting?"

Hearing Su Yan’s comment, Jiu Li hastily wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and then said, somewhat abashedly, "You’re the disgusting one! Mind your own business!"

"Heh!" Su Yan scoffed twice and then asked, "Weren’t you in a rush to absorb? What’s the procedure?"

"Just stand still, and I will do the rest," she answered.

"Then come on."

Having said that, Su Yan stood still by the bed, waiting for Jiu Li to make her move.

Seeing Su Yan standing motionless before her, Jiu Li’s breathing became rapid. Then she swallowed and said, "I’m going to start absorbing now. If you feel any discomfort, just say so. Don’t suddenly start punching me again."

"Alright, just get on with it," Su Yan urged.

Hearing this, Jiu Li shifted her body and adjusted her position slightly. Then she slowly moved her cherry-red lips towards Su Yan’s head, parted them, and began to absorb the Essence from his body.

Before long, wisp after wisp of white mist started to be drawn out from Su Yan’s head, continuously flowing into Jiu Li’s cherry-red lips.

"Ah... so fragrant..." Jiu Li couldn’t help but moan softly.

Su Yan’s Essence was too fragrant. It was hard for her to maintain control. She had intended to take small sips, lest the stoic man before her feel any discomfort and suddenly lash out. But! At this moment, she really couldn’t hold back anymore!

She abandoned all restraint and concern, opening her cherry-red lips wide, and sucked fiercely without a care for her image. Her entire demeanor seemed intensely greedy as she frantically absorbed Su Yan’s Essence.

On the other side, Su Yan didn’t feel any discomfort. He simply felt a bit of numbness in his head and even found it rather comfortable. Other than that, there were no other sensations.

Four muffled sounds, PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!, echoed in succession. The four tails that Jiu Li had retracted earlier burst out uncontrollably, fully exposing themselves to Su Yan’s view.

Seeing the four tails behind Jiu Li, Su Yan was, for a moment, tempted. He no longer wanted to just keep her but to pluck all four of her tails directly. However, after a bit of thought, he soon restrained himself, thinking that such a kill-the-goose-that-lays-the-golden-eggs approach really wasn’t worthwhile; it truly was unnecessary.

At this moment, Jiu Li was deeply engrossed in absorbing the Essence, her mind clouded with excitement, leaving her utterly unguarded. Her four tails swayed freely in mid-air behind her, constantly tempting Su Yan before her.

PFFT! With a soft sound, a brand new tail suddenly emerged behind Jiu Li, snowy white and lush, radiating with vitality.

"Ah, I can’t go on." Jiu Li suddenly stopped absorbing Su Yan’s Essence, collapsing onto the bed and gasping for air. She looked utterly content, her beautiful eyes glazed with hazy satisfaction.

Having lived as a fox for seventeen years, she had never tasted such delicious Essence before. It was fragrant and pure, incredibly rich, and filled with vitality. After absorbing for only a short while, a new fluffy tail had already grown out behind her. This was truly amazing!

Su Yan looked at the blissful Jiu Li lying on the bed, somewhat disbelieving as he said, "No way... it’s over already? That’s it?"

"Master, Jiu Li can’t go on..." Jiu Li, now sated, spoke much more tenderly than before, even reverting to using honorifics.

Looking at the satisfied Jiu Li on the bed, Su Yan laughed out loud. He had thought that a Fox Demon would be difficult to raise, but it turned out to be this easy? I reckoned I hadn’t even started yet. And you’re done already? A Fox Demon like this? I could raise ten!

Jiu Li could see the contemptuous look in Su Yan’s eyes from the bedside, but she didn’t care. She had decided that from now on, she wanted to be a domesticated fox, just waiting for her master to come and feed her. As for her wild nature? What even is that? Who cares for such a thing!

Su Yan said to Jiu Li, "To think that just by absorbing a little Essence, you can grow a new fox tail. You Fox Demons are quite easy to raise, aren’t you?"

"Yes, Jiu Li is very easy to raise..." Jiu Li cooed, her voice soft and incredibly pleasant, a sound that tugged at the heartstrings.

Looking at Su Yan beside the bed, the more she looked, the more pleasing he appeared to her, thinking that being kept by him wasn’t too bad after all. From now on, she’d be a well-cared-for pet, without worries for food or drink, and, to be optimistic, she even had a Legendary-Level top scholar as a bodyguard. Tsk tsk! This was simply the life of a Fox Immortal!

「Date: June 15, 2021 AD.」

Jiu Li: Lost her dreams, content to become a well-fed, domesticated Fox Demon.

Reason: The ’task’ from her master. Su Daxian was just too generous with his offerings; who could possibly resist?
