After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

Chapter 146 The Substitute Fox 1

Chu Xinyao was escorted back to her room by the crowd, with She Mo following closely behind. After everyone returned, he closed the door and even dragged Hu Yi inside.

Chu Xinyao sat in the chair, sulking, pouting and puffing out her cheeks. It seemed she wouldn't be coaxed anytime soon.

Shemo did not immediately comfort Chu Xinyao. Instead, he had someone bring over another chair and gestured for Hu Yi to sit down.

His gaze was sharp, but he asked calmly, "Fox One, right? Since you are a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and have cultivated an inner core, do you know any forbidden techniques?"

Upon hearing Shemo mention forbidden techniques, the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense, and everyone's eyes turned to Hu Yi.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, once a glorious clan, became extinct hundreds of years ago, and the reason for its extinction was this forbidden technique.

Fox One sat in the chair, glancing at Chu Xinyao from time to time. She seemed to still be sulking and didn't want to see them. Hearing Snake Ink's question, he was taken aback at first, then slowly nodded, admitting that he did indeed know the forbidden techniques.

Tiger Roar, whose temper was the most fiery, could no longer contain himself. He said urgently, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and use it on Yao Yao!"

Shemo reached out to stop Huxiao. He slowly took a sip of his flower tea and then asked unhurriedly, "Tell me, what conditions do you want for me to use forbidden magic on Yao?"

With a gentle smile, He Yu handed Hu Yi a cup of flower tea and said, "Here, have some tea, don't be so nervous."

Fox One was somewhat flattered, not expecting that among these high-level experts there would be such a gentle orc. He took the teacup, took a small sip, and felt the aroma of the flower tea spread on his tongue, which eased his tension somewhat.

"The forbidden technique is a secret art of my clan, and it was the cause of our clan's destruction a hundred years ago. It involves my life, and I was unwilling to use it, but..." Fox One slowly spoke, his eyes revealing determination, "But if it is for Xin Yao, I am willing to try. However, I need you to agree to one condition."

Snake Ink raised an eyebrow, signaling Fox One to continue.

"I need your assurance that what happened today will not be revealed to anyone. Also, I need your full protection to ensure that I don't offer my inner core and use forbidden techniques. Moreover, once the forbidden techniques are used, they will consume a lot of my energy, and I don't want to be harassed by others because of this." Although Fox One's voice was not loud, it was full of determination.

He looked at Yu Paopao, and indeed did not want to be harassed and abused by Jiao Xi'er anymore.

"Don't worry, I know how powerful the forbidden magic is, and I will protect you." Fish Bubble replied.

Having received Yu Paopao's assurance, Fox One then looked at She Mo, who held the most authority.

She Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "On behalf of Chu Xinyao's first beast husband, I assure you that what happened today will not be leaked."

Although Hu Xiao was impatient, he understood the importance of the situation, and he nodded heavily to show his support.

He Yu and Yu Zijing nodded in agreement. She Mo was the first beast husband, and his decisions were often important decisions for the entire family, except for Chu Xinyao.

Although Chu Xinyao was still sulking, her attention was inevitably drawn to the conversation among the group.

What are these people talking about?

What forbidden technique? Why did everyone's attitude change 180 degrees the moment Fox took out its inner core?

They didn't object to her even offering to be her beastly husband.

Seeing that the group had already made their decision, she said with dissatisfaction, "What are you all talking about? Why is it that none of you object to him becoming my beast husband? And shouldn't my opinion be sought before he becomes my beast husband?"

She Mo turned around to face Chu Xinyao, his gaze softening. "Yao, Fox One's forbidden technique is extremely important to you. We did this for your safety." His voice was low, trying to soothe Chu Xinyao's emotions.

"So what?" Even for her safety, she didn't want to have another beastly husband for no reason.

Hu Xiao walked over and said, "Yao Yao, we know this is sudden for you, but we are doing this for your own good. Fox One's forbidden magic can protect you, and we don't want you to get hurt."

Chu Xinyao was filled with anger. She felt slighted and even abandoned. "Do you think I'm a burden and don't want to protect me, so you just use some random forbidden technique to protect me? If that's the case, what's the point of us being together?"

Chu Xinyao grew angrier the more she thought about it. Wasn't it just because they thought she was weak? She was also working very hard to become stronger, and she had already mastered the skills that Long Tingting had taught her.

She didn't understand why these beastly husbands, who usually treated her so well, would suddenly make such a request.

He Yu and Yu Zijing, who had gathered around, both looked at him with concern.

"Xin'er, it's not like that," He Yu quickly explained, not wanting her to misunderstand his decision.

"Yu'er," Yu Zijing pulled Chu Xinyao's hand and pressed it against her chest. "Our sincerity towards you is as clear as day and night. Don't you understand? Why do you say such hurtful things to us?"

Chu Xinyao pouted and said aggrievedly, "I didn't want to either, but isn't this what you mean by doing this?" Her voice grew softer and softer, and a tear fell down her cheek.

“Yu’er,” Yu Zijing said, heartbroken at the sight of Chu Xinyao’s tears. “The inner core of the nine-tailed fox, combined with the forbidden technique, is an extremely powerful and mysterious secret technique, also known as the substitution technique.”

"A substitution technique?" A look of doubt flashed in Chu Xinyao's eyes.

"Yes, that's why my clan was nearly wiped out." The fox nodded, and seeing Chu Xinyao looking over, smiled at her. "Once each member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan offers their inner core to another and uses forbidden magic, their life is linked to that person's. If the other person is injured, the Nine-Tailed Fox will bear the brunt of the injury. If the other person suffers a fatal blow, the Nine-Tailed Fox will also bear it for them. Even if the Nine-Tailed Fox dies, they will leave a glimmer of hope for the recipient."

As Chu Xinyao listened to Hu Yi's explanation, her anger gradually subsided, replaced by a complex emotion. She had never imagined that Hu Yi had made such a difficult decision to say it so easily.

She looked at Fox One and saw the determination in his eyes, which filled her with guilt.

Snake Ink also came over, his eyes serious. "Yao, Fox One is willing to use the substitution technique for you, which shows that his love for you is sincere, selfless, and does not care about gains or losses, or even his own safety. That's why we agreed to let him become your beast husband."

Hu Xiao and the others nodded in agreement.

Yu Zijing held Chu Xinyao's hand and said softly, "Of course, we also have our own selfish reasons. We all hope that you can be safe. When you gave birth to Xiaoyulong, we were really scared."

Chu Xinyao looked at Hu Yi, then shook her head, "Hu Yi, this isn't fair to you!"
