The moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright.
The small grove, a known hotspot for incidents, was eerily silent.
Suddenly, a golden light flickered in the darkness, then vanished.
"Plop."
With a soft sound, Miss Fox broke free from Qin Yu's clutches and collapsed onto the ground.
She curled into a ball, as if transformed into a three-colored dumpling.
As her playful fox ears twitched, a golden imprint dissipated.
Miss Fox, possessing both beauty and wisdom, had been captured by Qin Yu.
"Heh... How does it feel to establish a connection with me?"
Qin Yu chuckled, crouched down, and observed her with great interest.
This was the second time using the Four-Points-Eight-Directions Net, and the effect was quite good.
The first time was for the Traveler sister.
Of course, at that time, the Traveler sister wasn't yet a cat, so it naturally failed.
So, was Miss Fox Spirit Qin Yu's first... companion?
But calling her a companion was actually imprecise.
Because...
Miss Fox had lost her power, and the strength of the two was not equal at all.
Even if something were to happen here, Miss Fox would be unable to resist.
No one would pass by here in the middle of the night.
Is this the legendary situation where screaming at the top of your lungs won't bring anyone to save you?
Thinking of this, a slight curve formed on Qin Yu's lips, a strange sense of pleasure filling his heart.
Sin, sin.
He, a proper person who never felt pleasure, was being corrupted by Great Dream Tree King Madam.
"Onmyōdō? No, this unknown power is more troublesome... What other tricks do you have?"
A bewitching voice rang out, devoid of its usual playfulness and languor.
Miss Fox Spirit propped herself up, her purple eyes fixed intently on Qin Yu.
A connection that could not be severed now existed between her and Qin Yu.
Only now did Miss Fox, who was skilled at manipulating hearts, realize her mistake.
In this hunt, she had misjudged the situation.
She had also misjudged Qin Yu's boldness.
The prey had been the hunter from the very beginning.
Indeed, he dared to lay hands on even gods; what of the Guuji?
And the price of miscalculation was to be completely consumed.
Miss Fox, who should have been sitting on Qin Yu's shoulder, was now beneath him.
In an instant, the tables had turned.
"Am I hearing things? There's still something you don't know... Great Guuji Yae."
Qin Yu watched the shimmering fox spirit with a playful tone.
He deliberately emphasized the words "Guuji Yae."
As everyone knows, smiles don't disappear; they just transfer.
And now, it had transferred to Qin's face.
Seeing Miss Fox flustered brought Qin Yu a surge of elation.
You devious fox, so you have days where you're pinned down too?
"Interesting, are you mocking this Guuji?"
A dangerous glint flashed in Miss Fox's eyes.
Once she transforms back into her human form...
As soon as the words left her mouth, she was lifted up.
Yes, Qin Yu had grabbed her fox tail.
"!"
Miss Fox's body stiffened, and her purple eyes slowly widened.
That place is...
"Quite sensitive, aren't you, Guuji Yae."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, a pleased curve forming on his lips.
A mischievous thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
With that in mind, he leaned close to Miss Fox's ear and whispered:
"That place... hasn't even been touched by Ei, has it?"
Referring to her fluffy fox tail.
But my cute Miss Fox, do you think it's over just like that?
With this thought, Qin Yu held her with one hand and extended the other.
He picked up a piece of fried tofu, and popped it into his mouth.
"Mmm—delicious."
"Want a bite? Nope."
Qin Yu grinned maliciously as he looked at Miss Fox, who had bared her claws.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
To seize the defenseless Guuji Yae and, right in front of her, devour her fried tofu!
My Miss Fox, crying and throwing a tantrum because she could only watch and not eat, boohoohoo, how pathetic.
"Heh... Acting like a sulking child, is that all you've got?"
Miss Fox rolled her eyes and looked at Qin Yu provocatively.
Is that all?
Qin Yu slowly let go of his smile.
As expected of Miss Fox, she's still fighting back calmly even now.
She had calculated that Qin Yu wouldn't do anything.
The Four-Points-Eight-Directions Net established a contract of equals, not one with coercive means.
Certain extreme acts against one's will wouldn't work.
Qin Yu also disdained any form of coercion.
Of course, scenarios like Keke-cat's costume change were different.
"Foxes can't play adult games."
But that didn't stop Qin Yu from retaliating verbally.
"How about... you let me return to human form? We can do something interesting."
Miss Fox's lips curved slightly, her tone seductive.
"?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, contemplating the trap Miss Fox might have laid.
The human and the fox stared at each other, silence between them.
Finally, Qin Yu took out a small prop.
The capture device.
"What do you want to do."
Miss Fox sensed a different aura.
Qin Yu hadn't been swayed by her proposal.
Or had he seen through her intentions?
"Now, hug her."
Qin Yu took out a Raiden Shogun plushie and stuffed it into the fox's arms.
The contract was in effect, and Miss Fox couldn't refuse Qin Yu's request; she embraced it.
She looked quite obedient, adorably so.
"..."
Miss Fox glared at Qin Yu.
"Spread your arms and legs, and hold on tight."
Qin Yu ignored her threatening gaze, having no intention of letting her go.
"..."
Miss Fox embraced the plushie like an octopus.
She looked like a fervent fan showering the Almighty Shogun with adoration.
"Click."
Qin Yu took photos with the capture device, documenting the evidence.
...
After a flurry of activity.
"You wouldn't want these photos to be seen by Ei, would you?"
Qin Yu dangled the photos, smiling.
Trying to threaten him? He had turned the tables.
This is your Achilles' heel, you tsundere fox who holds pride towards the gods.
This time, he had won.
"Little one, you're amazing, this sister admits defeat."
"Let this sister go, and we can get along well from now on, how about it?"
Miss Fox gazed at the photos in Qin Yu's hand, ripples appearing in her bewitching eyes.
Captured by the Four-Points-Eight-Directions Net and now holding evidence against her, she could only comply.
She had been cornered by Qin Yu, with no possibility of a comeback.
On the surface, this seemed to be the case.
However...
It's just too much fun, isn't it?
Little one, your performance truly surprised this sister.
Then, as a reward, she had to respond in kind...
"It would have been better if you had done this earlier."
Qin Yu smiled and brought the fried tofu closer to the little fox.
"Little one, can you feed me?"
Miss Fox's eyes flickered, and she spoke softly.
Qin Yu didn't notice the trap and picked up a piece.
But in doing so, he inevitably had to sit down and move closer to Miss Fox.
"Closer."
Seeing Qin Yu lean down, Miss Fox's lips curved slightly.
She tiptoed and wrapped her arms around Qin Yu's neck.
"Guuji Yae?"
Qin Yu blinked slightly, a bad feeling dawning in his heart.
There's an ambush!
But before he could move away, his body sank.
"...!"
Qin Yu's eyes widened slowly, reflecting the fox-eared woman's joyful smile.
Yae Miko, she had suddenly regained her power?!
"What's wrong, little one... Don't you like this Guuji's posture?"
"We can play adult games."
Yae Miko gently wrapped her arms around Qin Yu, hooking him.
She slowly tilted her head, and while Qin Yu was still stunned, she leaned towards his face.
Just as they were about to make contact.
"Click."
The sound of the capture device echoed, capturing their pose.
From this angle...
Miko was pinned beneath him, seemingly about to be harassed by Qin Yu.
"You!"
Qin Yu finally reacted and quickly stood up.
But it was too late; the evidence had already been recorded.
"Heh... Cute little one."
"You wouldn't want these photos to be seen by Ei, would you?"
Miss Fox, had once again turned the tables.
With each holding leverage over the other, they returned to a standoff.
But their relationship had long since changed, becoming more intimate.
Yae Miko didn't dislike this feeling; on the contrary, she found it exceptionally enjoyable.
She smiled, reveling in the moment.
Qin Yu, feeling slightly tricked, narrowed his eyes, about to do something.
At the very next moment—
"Yu, what are you doing with Miko?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively turned his head.
Beneath the moonlight, a cold and beautiful figure stood still.
Her purple eyes reflected the figures of the two.
The air froze.
It was the Grand Leader of Qin Yu's household!
