Under the moonlight, little tanuki's nine tails danced and her small body landed lightly on ye Chen's shoulder. The illusion Pearl moved with her and in an instant, a light enveloped ye chen and little tanuki.
Ye chen reached out and gently stroked little tanuki's back. That familiar touch, smooth and delicate like a young girl's skin, made him feel like he was in a dream.
It was indeed little tanuki. Little tanuki had not transformed into human form and was still in her tanuki form. She lay comfortably on ye Chen's shoulder and rubbed her head affectionately against ye Chen's neck. She looked up at ye chen and smiled slightly, a touch of gentleness and joy flashing through her clear eyes.
She liked the feeling of being with ye chen. After cultivating in the illusion Pearl for so long, she wanted to come out and see ye chen every day, so she put in extra effort when she cultivated.
