Seeing Mu Tianyuan speechless, the fox shook its head and tail, walking around on Mu Tianyuan's leg. Then it jumped onto Mu Tianyuan's shoulder and said, "Hey, what do you say we do now? It's almost dark. We can't just sit here forever, can we?"
"That's a good question you asked. I also want to know what I should do now," Mu Tianyuan replied helplessly to the fox's question. This question was asked too well. He had no idea what to do next. Then Mu Tianyuan turned his head to look at the fox standing on his shoulder and asked, "By the way, what did you mean by 'assist me' just now?"
"Right! I almost forgot if you didn't mention it!" Hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, the fox suddenly looked enlightened, then the fox jumped back onto his leg from Mu Tianyuan's shoulder. Then, it fumbled in its fur with its front paws and somehow magically pulled out a cell phone. What's even more amazing is that although the fox's paws were only resting on it, the cell phone was as steady as if she were holding it in her hand, not falling at all. Seeing the cell phone, Mu Tianyuan was immediately a little surprised and said, "Holy cow, this phone looks familiar. If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be my phone, right?"
"Good eyes!" The fox gestured at Mu Tianyuan with its other paw. Although it was just a gesture, Mu Tianyuan understood the fox's meaning. This creature was giving him a thumbs-up, but unfortunately, although the fox's paws seemed capable of holding things, they couldn't perform the complex action of a thumbs-up.
And then the fox's words proved that Mu Tianyuan was not mistaken. He heard the fox say, with a hint of annoyance, "It's really troublesome to even give a thumbs-up. When do you think I can evolve hands?"
"You can still evolve?" Mu Tianyuan asked, taking the phone from the fox's paw, somewhat surprised. The fox jumped back onto Mu Tianyuan's shoulder again and said, "Who knows. Since I can talk, maybe I'll evolve one day. I see in stories, animals that become spirits can talk and then turn into human form, right? Maybe I'll turn into human form one day."
"Didn't you not know if you were a spirit at first?" Mu Tianyuan muttered casually as he fiddled with his phone to turn it back on. However, Mu Tianyuan had clearly forgotten the truth he learned earlier. He saw the fox wagging its tail and saying self-righteously, "I don't know if I've become a spirit, but we can assume I have, right? As for turning into human form, this fox life should at least have some dreams, right? Anyway, it's free to say, maybe it will come true one day?"
"You have a point." Mu Tianyuan pondered for a moment and nodded seriously. Then Mu Tianyuan said in some confusion, "Speaking of which, why is this phone turning on so slowly?"
"Who knows!" The fox glanced at the phone that was struggling to turn on and wagged its tail, answering. Mu Tianyuan had just asked casually, and he didn't know if this magical fox beside him would know, so he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary at hearing this answer. Instead, he turned to look at the fox on his shoulder with some confusion and asked, "By the way, I have a question. Why is this phone mine but it's on you?"
"I find that your focus is different from ordinary people. I thought you would ask where I got the phone from," the fox muttered, looking at Mu Tianyuan's face with some surprise. The little fox thought that a normal person should first ask how I could take out a phone, right? But why does he care about why the phone is on me?
And to this point, Mu Tianyuan calmly replied, "You can talk, so it's strange that you have storage space or something."
"Wow! You know that too!" The fox exclaimed in surprise, looking at Mu Tianyuan, and Mu Tianyuan also exclaimed in surprise, "You really do?"
"Hmm, yes!" The fox nodded very readily. Seeing the fox nod, Mu Tianyuan immediately threw down his phone excitedly and grabbed the suitcase beside him, saying, "Then help me put the suitcase away first?"
Fox: "...What are you thinking?"
"Don't you have storage space or something?" Mu Tianyuan replied self-righteously, while the fox rolled its eyes and said, "That's not for putting luggage, okay! Besides, my storage space is limited. Although I don't quite understand what's going on, I know it can only hold half of my weight in stuff!"
"Tch, it can only hold so little?" Mu Tianyuan muttered with a hint of disappointment after hearing this limitation. He had been hoping this fox could help him carry his luggage. Who knew the capacity was only that small? Looking at the fox's body length, from head to tail, it probably wasn't even fifty centimeters long, so the storage space couldn't hold much.
"You have pockets on your pants, why haven't I seen you put the suitcase in there?!" Mu Tianyuan's attitude seemed to provoke the fox. The little fox immediately started snarling at Mu Tianyuan.
"Is that the same?" Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes and replied to the little fox's words. Pockets are found on almost every pair of pants now, but how can that compare to high-end storage space?
"My storage space is just like your pant pocket in nature! At most, things just won't fall out!" The little fox rolled its eyes and replied. Hearing the little fox's words, Li Junyang said he was even more disappointed with storage space. Damn it, so this stuff that's written about being so amazing in novels is just a pocket! If that's the case, then what's the point?
Just then, Mu Tianyuan's phone, after a series of arduous efforts, finally turned on. However, what happened next was a bit beyond Mu Tianyuan's understanding. The phone magically disappeared! Originally, Mu Tianyuan was thinking of calling home, but the receipt was actually gone! Before Mu Tianyuan could figure out what was going on, he felt a buzzing in his head, and then inexplicably a lot of messy things appeared. Before Mu Tianyuan could figure out what they were, his eyes went black and he fainted.
After who knows how long, Mu Tianyuan felt something wet yet warm licking his face incessantly. Not only that, Mu Tianyuan also felt something constantly tapping his face. When Mu Tianyuan reopened his eyes, he saw the little fox licking his face while repeatedly tapping him with its paw. Seeing this, Mu Tianyuan waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, don't tap..."
"Oh, you're finally awake." The little fox saw Mu Tianyuan wake up, immediately stopped its actions, and then squatted on Mu Tianyuan's body, looking at him. Mu Tianyuan sat up while holding the little fox, then looked around and sighed, "This isn't a dream, is it?"
"Yes, it's not a dream." The little fox wagged its tail and replied, then looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "I think you should have gained something just now?"
"Well, I feel like there are some inexplicable things in my head. In short, I can feel them but I can't explain them," Mu Tianyuan said, frowning and recalling, while nodding. The little fox nodded after hearing him. "That's right!"
"What's right?" Mu Tianyuan asked, looking at the little fox in confusion. The little fox's tone was serious: "That is the inheritance of the Daoist Myriad Beast Sect!"
"Inheritance of the Daoist Myriad Beast Sect? That name is quite earthy." Mu Tianyuan muttered, then said with some curiosity, "So what exactly did it inherit to me?"
"Well, because your inheritance isn't complete, you received a inheritance of 'All Things Have Spirits'." The little fox replied, staring at Mu Tianyuan with a serious face. Mu Tianyuan, hearing this, immediately said excitedly, "Then what the heck is this 'All Things Have Spirits'? No, what kind of thing is it? No, in short, what does it do!"
This seems to be something amazing! Mu Tianyuan said he really wanted to know!
"Don't get too excited, listen to me!" Seeing Mu Tianyuan's excited look, the little fox quickly tried to calm him down. After waiting for Mu Tianyuan to be less excited, the little fox said, "All things in this world are made of spiritual energy..."
"Then can I control this spiritual energy or something?" Although Mu Tianyuan had indeed calmed down a little, he couldn't wait to ask after hearing the little fox's words.
"Of course not! I said, can you stop interrupting? Are you going to listen or not? If you don't listen, I won't say anymore!" The little fox immediately splashed cold water on this guy's head. How could Mu Tianyuan have any objections? This seemed to concern his golden finger, so of course he had to listen carefully. Therefore, Mu Tianyuan immediately sat up straight and looked at the little fox, saying, "Please speak, please speak."
Then Mu Tianyuan assumed a listening posture and looked very seriously at the little fox. If his teachers at school back then knew about this, they would probably go crazy. This guy was never that serious in class, yet now he was listening so seriously to a fox talk. Did this mean they were not even as good as a fox?
Seeing Mu Tianyuan's serious attitude, the little fox nodded in satisfaction, then wagged its tail and said seriously, "This 'All Things Have Spirits' basically lets you understand and fluently communicate with various animals."
"Mhmm!" Mu Tianyuan nodded immediately, then looked at the little fox expectantly. After looking at the little fox for a while, Mu Tianyuan said expectantly, "What's next?"
"That's it, there's nothing after that!" The little fox's reply was completely justified, but when Mu Tianyuan heard the little fox's words, he immediately jumped up: "What?! That's all?!"
