Jiu Baiyun’s gaze at this moment was too unfamiliar—it was a kind of coldness and indifference as if looking down on ants, completely different from his usual self.
Su Zhiyun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back without speaking.
Mainly because she noticed that the Mountain Sparrows behind had fallen into a sluggish state.
Saying anything now would be better left until they were safe.
She no longer looked at the unfamiliar “Jiu Baiyun” on the stretcher, but instead used all her strength to turn all her fear and confusion into the power of sprinting forward.
A Ran and Xiao Mu also felt the change in pressure.
Although they didn’t understand why, seeing Su Zhiyun’s even more desperate appearance, they gritted their teeth and pushed their speed to the limit.
The stretcher at this moment became even more violently jolting.
On the stretcher, the “Yao Fox Demon Venerable” clearly caught a flash of surprise and doubt in Su Zhiyun’s eyes, as well as her eventual effort to forcibly suppress it.
‘Tsk, almost exposed… This mortal woman is indeed alert.’
Yao Fox Demon Venerable snorted inwardly, her tense nerves slightly relaxing.
Fortunately, the chaos of those stupid birds behind her provided cover; otherwise, explaining would have been troublesome.
However, this brief relief was quickly overwhelmed by the intense discomfort coming from her body.
Every jolt of the stretcher, every impact with uneven ground, caused Jiu Baiyun’s limp, uncontrollable fox tail to violently rub and thrash against the rough fabric inside.
That feeling… wasn’t pure pain, nor simple itch…
Hmm, it was like an extreme stimulation mixed with numbness, itch, and stinging pain that penetrated to the bone.
It felt as if countless tiny electric currents and brushes were simultaneously acting on the most sensitive and fragile nerve endings.
“Ugh…”
A muffled groan with a trembling tone almost uncontrollably escaped from Yao Fox Demon Venerable’s throat.
Fortunately, it was covered by the fierce wind and the Mountain Sparrows’ screeching, so Su Zhiyun didn’t notice.
Beads of cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead, her brows tightly furrowed, and her silver-white fox ears trembled slightly from the intense sensory impact.
Yao Fox Demon Venerable gritted her teeth, and her resentment toward Jiu Baiyun instantly reached its peak.
She tried to concentrate her mind, wanting to shift her body slightly to avoid that deadly friction point.
But the Side Effect of “Qi Stillness” was like heavy shackles, making it extremely difficult for her to even move a finger.
The result of forcing a struggle only twisted the tail into an even more awkward angle, making the stimulation surge even more intensely.
This feeling… was simply more unbearable than being directly pummeled by a spell!
The deep blue eyes of Yao Fox Demon Venerable almost spewed tangible anger and shame.
‘I can’t take it anymore! Whoever wants to suffer this, go ahead!’
All she wanted now was to shrink back into her body and block out all perception!
The immense irritation and extreme disgust at her current situation instantly overwhelmed all other considerations.
With a determination almost like seeking relief, she abruptly severed the connection of her own consciousness controlling this body.
That deep, cold blue light receded from her eyes like a tide, returning to Jiu Baiyun’s original dark black.
The moment her consciousness withdrew, Yao Fox Demon Venerable immediately blocked her perception, and the maddening tail friction became distant and blurry.
Yao Fox Demon Venerable also left behind a cold snort filled with anger and contempt in Jiu Baiyun’s mind.
“Hmph! Useless!”
Immediately after, her consciousness sank completely into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, leaving this troublesome and sensitive body, along with the jolting stretcher and annoying tail, entirely to Jiu Baiyun, who had just regained a bit of consciousness and was still in a daze.
“Uh—ah!”
Jiu Baiyun’s consciousness was instantly flooded by violent jolts and piercing chirp sounds.
He let out a muffled groan, feeling like his bones were about to be shaken apart.
Even worse, almost the moment his consciousness returned, that damned fox tail at his coccyx once again clearly conveyed its presence.
It was uncontrollably rubbing and thrashing against the rough fabric inside with every violent rise and fall of the stretcher.
That feeling… was absolutely deadly!
An indescribable electric sensation, mixed with sharp stinging pain and penetrating itch, shot up his spine to the top of his head, causing all his muscles to tense instantly then tremble uncontrollably.
He wanted to move, but couldn’t move at all.
At this, he immediately understood why the Yao Fox Demon Venerable had given up control of the body so quickly, and even cursed him in passing.
‘If it were me, I’d curse too!’
No need to think—that Yao Fox Demon Venerable had definitely blocked all her perception.
No matter how much he cursed, she wouldn’t hear.
This gave Jiu Baiyun a powerless and frustrated feeling, as if he had no outlet for his anger.
“Damn it!”
He had just cursed inwardly when the next moment, Su Zhiyun’s urgent warning sounded from ahead.
“Watch out!”
The scene before Jiu Baiyun swayed violently.
Ahead, Xiao Mu stumbled, and the entire stretcher lurched sharply to one side.
Jiu Baiyun instantly felt like a heavy stone, about to slide off the stretcher.
“Ah!”
A Ran and Xiao Mu both cried out in shock.
Jiu Baiyun almost instinctively tried to reach out and grab something to steady himself.
However, the Side Effect of “Qi Stillness” still lingered; his body remained heavy and numb, and his arms refused to obey.
In desperation, his body gave a sudden lurch, trying to regain balance.
With that lurch, the fox tail that had been swinging more wildly due to the jolts and struggle, as luck would have it, slipped out from under his clothes.
“Whoa!”
Seeing the snow-white fox tail exposed and swinging in the air, Xiao Mu, A Ran, and Su Zhiyun all cried out again.
A Ran, who had been trying to reach out to support Jiu Baiyun, unconsciously placed her extended hand in the path of the fox tail.
The fox tail brushed against A Ran’s arm, and then Jiu Baiyun’s full body weight pressed down.
The stimulation surged up his spine like an electric current, but Jiu Baiyun, already somewhat numb, only managed a short, “Ah.”
But A Ran, feeling the furry hair brush against her arm, couldn’t help but give Jiu Baiyun’s tail a gentle squeeze.
This was no longer simply stimulation due to sensitivity.
An extremely intense sense of shame also surged up.
‘Saying that the tail is equivalent to a private part is not an exaggeration at all!’
‘Having a private part squeezed in front of so many people—anyone would feel extreme shame and a sense of taboo!’
“B-Big Brother Jiu! Your… tail…”
A Ran, as if burned, quickly pulled her hand back.
Her face flushed bright red, and her big eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, her gaze completely glued to the snow-white fox tail that was still unconsciously swaying slightly.
But because A Ran withdrew like that, Jiu Baiyun took the opportunity to roll off the stretcher and land on the ground.
“What are you all standing around for? Help him up! We’re on the run right now!”
Seeing that A Ran and Xiao Mu had both been frozen for a while because of Jiu Baiyun’s snow-white tail, Su Zhiyun immediately shouted with some exasperation.
‘Though, looking at that tail, she also had the urge to reach out and touch it—what was that about?’
