The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

The fox demon strode forward gracefully, its nine tails unfurling behind it. Every step it took created tiny ripples in space. "It seems the bloodline memory is beginning to awaken." It narrowed its eyes, its gaze lingering on Chu Mo, and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. "However, I didn't expect that you would find a Taoist partner with the blood of a true dragon. This is... unexpectedly suitable."

Chu Mo gripped the Guhong Sword tightly and protected the little fox behind him calmly.

The cracks on the sword had healed by now, and a faint dragon pattern was visible. "What do you want to do?"

Mo You chuckled and his body suddenly twisted and changed.

After the black fog dissipated, a beautiful woman whose gender was difficult to tell appeared in her place.

A black robe embroidered with dark patterns outlines his slender figure, with strange red lines dotted at the corners of his eyes and a crescent-shaped jade pendant hanging on his left ear.

"Don't be nervous." It waved its hand lazily, and the jade pendant swayed gently with the movement. "If I really wanted to take her life, I wouldn't have used the dual cultivation method to help you last night. You know..." It gave Chu Mo a meaningful look, "That's the secret of the Qingqiu royal family, the 'Spirit Fox Attracting Phoenix Art'."

The little fox poked its head out from behind Chu Mo, its ears erected alertly: "Help us? That technique... is yours..."

"That's right." Mo You raised the corner of his lips, revealing a somewhat evil smile, "That dual cultivation technique was originally prepared for you. I just didn't expect..." His eyes swept between the two of them, and suddenly his smile deepened, "By chance, it actually made a beautiful thing happen. A true dragon and a celestial fox, it's a beautiful story."

Chu Mo frowned, his knuckles turning white from gripping the sword so tightly: "What is your purpose?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mo You sighed, his expression suddenly becoming solemn. He raised his hand and removed the crescent jade pendant from his left ear. The moment the pendant left his body, it transformed into the seal of the Qingqiu royal family.

"Seventeen years ago, the Qingqiu Fox Clan suffered a great disaster." Its voice deepened, carrying a hint of pain from reminiscence. "The demonic cultivators and rebels attacked the imperial city. As a guardian, I risked my life to send the newborn princess away..." At this point, it suddenly lifted its sleeves, revealing the hideous demonic patterns on its arms. "But because of this, I was corroded by the demonic energy and became what I am today..."

The little fox shuddered all over, and those broken memories gradually became clear: the flames rising into the sky, the blood-stained hem of her mother's skirt, and... a black figure who stuffed her into the teleportation array.

"In order to protect the princess," Mo You continued, a pure golden halo condensed from his fingertips, "I extracted the purest Sky Fox blood from the princess' body to cover up her aura. All these years, I have been waiting for the princess to come of age..."

"So...you are..." The little fox's voice trembled slightly, and its four fox tails unconsciously wrapped around Chu Mo's arm.

"I am the guardian of Qingqiu. I held you in my arms when you were a child." Mo You smiled gently, and the red lines at the corners of his eyes softened a little. "Remember? You always liked to pull my tail to ask for candied fruit." The halo in his hand slowly drifted towards the little fox. "This is the part of your bloodline that you are missing. Now that you have come of age, it is time to return it to its rightful owner."

Chu Mo stood in front of the little fox cautiously: "Why should I trust you?"

Mo You smiled nonchalantly, "If I wanted to harm her, last night when you were practicing together would have been the best time." He looked at the little fox, his eyes suddenly softening, "Princess, do you still remember the evening primrose in Qingqiu?"

The little fox's pupils shrank slightly, and a memory suddenly emerged. Evening primroses swayed in the moonlight, and his mother's gentle smile...

"Mother..." She took a step forward unconsciously.

Chu Mo grabbed her hand and said, "Be careful, there might be a trap."

Mo You shook his head and suddenly knelt on one knee: "Princess, if you don't believe me, I can swear a blood oath." He bit his fingertip and drew a complex rune in the air, "I will use my soul as a bond. If you have the intention to harm me, my soul will be shattered immediately."

The rune lit up with a dazzling red light and then sank into Mo You's brow.

The little fox looked at Chu Mo with a questioning look in his eyes. Chu Mo pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

"What should I...do?" the little fox asked in a low voice.

Mo You smiled with satisfaction: "It's very simple, just accept it." The ball of light in his hand slowly floated towards the little fox, "But before that..."

It suddenly turned to Chu Mo: "Boy, I'll lend you a drop of my blood."

Without waiting for Chu Mo to react, Mo You raised his finger and a drop of blood with golden light flew out from Chu Mo's heart.

================================================== ===========================

"You!" Chu Mo was about to attack, but he saw the drop of blood merge with the golden light ball, turning into an exquisite bell and falling into the little fox's hand.

"This is..." The little fox looked at the bell curiously, which was engraved with intricate patterns.

"The Heart Bell." Mo You explained, "Using the blood of a true dragon's heart, it can keep you two connected." It gave Chu Mo a meaningful look and said, "It can be considered... a gift from me to the newlyweds."

The little fox blushed again and stole a glance at Chu Mo. Chu Mo coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears felt slightly hot.

"Okay, it's getting late." Mo You suddenly became serious, "Princess, please sit cross-legged."

As the little fox took over the golden ball of light, the entire stone chamber began to vibrate violently. In the dazzling light, Mo You's figure gradually became transparent.

"Mo You!" The little fox tried to catch it in panic.

"Don't worry." Mo You smiled gently, "I met with an accident a long time ago. What you see now is the remnant soul that should not exist. Now that its mission is completed, it should dissipate." It looked at Chu Mo, "Boy, take good care of her."

The last wisp of black smoke dissipated into the air. The little fox's fourth tail solidified completely, and the shadow of the fifth tail loomed. The golden pattern on her forehead became clearer, and her spiritual power surged.

Chu Mo was about to step forward when his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, the secret realm is about to collapse!"

The roof of the stone chamber began to crumble, and huge rocks fell one after another. Chu Mo picked up the little fox and the Solitary Red Sword turned into a stream of light, splitting a path.

“Hold me!”
