Roll...

(Modified)

He was ready to stop here and slip away.

But when his gaze fell behind Su Jiu, he stopped in his tracks.

There, the phantom of a snow-white fox tail was present, while a second fox tail flickered indistinctly.

Unlike before, this phantom seemed much more solid, but it still lacked a certain divine essence, like duckweed without roots, ready to dissipate at any moment.

"This isn't right."

Su Ji stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly.

He crouched down and reached out to grab the illusory tail.

As a result, his hand only grasped emptiness.

"Why is it still illusory?"

Su Ji muttered to himself, an expression of utter perplexity appearing on his face.

Logically speaking, the convergence of spiritual power just now and the power of the imperial bloodline within his body should have been enough to help Su Jiu completely solidify her second tail.

Unless...

A flash of inspiration struck Su Ji's mind.

Unless the channel was wrong!

He slapped his thigh fiercely, a look of sudden realization dawning on his face.

That was it!

The convergence of spiritual power just now had taken the bright and proper main road.

But the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was inherently Yin.

To thoroughly stimulate it, he had to take a different approach and go through the secluded path's profound gate!

Su Ji secretly praised himself for his peerless wisdom.

He looked at the somewhat weakened Su Jiu.

A righteous expression of "Senior Brother is doing this for your own good" appeared on his face.

He bent down, passed his hands behind Su Jiu's knees, and effortlessly lifted her soft body into his arms.

He let Su Jiu lean against his chest.

Su Jiu seemed to sense something, letting out a soft murmur in her sleep.

Su Ji quickly stopped his movements and softly comforted her by her ear.

"Don't be afraid, Junior Sister. Senior Brother will help you break through the final profound gate right now."

Su Jiu's restless squirming actually gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Su Ji no longer hesitated.

Taking a deep breath, the spiritual energy belonging to the [Desolate Meteor Fallen Dragon Art] circulated within his body once again.

This time, he held nothing back.

Su Jiu's eyes, which had originally regained some clarity, were instantly replaced by an incredibly thick layer of shame and indignation.

"Su Ji! You...!"

She struggled desperately.

But Su Ji's arms securely locked her in place, rendering her unable to move.

"Don't move, Junior Sister!"

Without another word, Su Ji directly chose to activate his Destiny.

[A Beauty Like Jade, ...]!

[Effect 2: Can add a two-way binding. Your cultivation improvement and Dao heart comprehension will also feed back to the other party. The other party has a chance to obtain their most urgently needed bottleneck breakthrough (Must be triggered actively, can only be triggered once every seven days).]

Wasn't the most urgently needed bottleneck right now breaking through to the Two-Tail Realm?

Su Ji's voice carried a hint of unquestionable authority.

"If your Qi meridians go awry, at best your cultivation will be completely ruined; at worst, your body will explode and you will die!"

These words were like a basin of ice water poured over her head.

Su Jiu's movements abruptly halted.

Although she felt somewhat uncomfortable, her rationality still remained.

She could feel the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline within her body boiling madly at an unprecedented speed.

How could it be...

It was actually effective...?

She found it somewhat hard to understand.

But that domineering spiritual energy was continuously pouring in through a method she had never imagined.

She felt her cultivation wildly skyrocketing at an unimaginable speed!

This feeling of rising cultivation...

Was simply too intoxicating for a fox!

Su Jiu swayed madly between the temptation of power and her rationality.

In the end, she chose to let Su Ji do as he pleased, merely covering her face with her hands.

Letting out soft, suppressed whimpers.

Feeling Su Jiu's compliant surrender from giving up her struggle, Su Ji felt greatly reassured.

He increased the output of his spiritual energy enhancement.

Boom!

Inside the room, the spiritual energy that had originally calmed down became violent once again.

This time, it formed a massive, wildly spinning vortex of spiritual energy!

The center of the vortex was none other than Su Jiu.

A massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy was forcibly swept into it.

Su Jiu felt as if she was going to be burst open by the spiritual energy.

The phantom fox tail behind her, under the scouring of the spiritual energy vortex, rapidly solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, Su Ji's Glazed Dao Foundation, which was on the verge of shattering, rapidly healed its cracks under the nourishment of this majestic spiritual energy.

On the Dao Foundation, a faint, glass-like luster even began to shimmer.

She felt that a certain shackle within her body had been broken.

Behind her, that incredibly solid, snow-white fox tail suddenly unfurled.

The second tail was complete!

However, before she could recover from the joy of the breakthrough.

She felt that the power wreaking havoc within her body, instead of stopping, became even more violent.

"Su Ji! That's enough! It's already... already enough!"

She felt that her Qi Sea was about to be unable to withstand it.

Yet Su Ji acted as if he hadn't heard her, continuing to do as he pleased.

"Not enough!"

His voice carried a bit of unquestionable dominance.

"Junior Sister, your foundation is unstable. You must properly consolidate it to be able to endure this overwhelming fortune!"

Sure enough.

...

And then, there was no then.

Su Jiu's consciousness completely sank into a sea of chaos.

She could only unconsciously let out broken whimpers.

Who knows how much time passed.

The violent spiritual energy vortex in the room finally slowly subsided.

Su Jiu lay limply on the table, unable to move even a single finger.

As for Su Ji, he stood up, thoroughly satisfied, feeling comfortable all over and his mind clear.

His Glazed Dao Foundation had been completely repaired, and was even a bit tougher than before.

(Deleted)

He stepped forward and gently patted behind Su Jiu.

"Junior Sister, how do you feel?"

Su Jiu didn't even have the strength to lift her head, only letting out a weak protest from her throat.

"If you're done, get lost..."

Su Ji walked to the door, pulled it open, and was just about to leave in a dashing manner.

But the moment one of his feet stepped over the threshold.

He suddenly noticed that something behind Su Jiu seemed a bit off.

Su Ji's smile froze on his face.

He sharply turned his head, his gaze locked dead onto Su Jiu's back.

There, two fox tails were drooping weakly on the ground.

Except, the tip of that second tail, at some unknown point, had actually been dyed with a faint touch of...

Pink.
