The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Then, Lan Yunyan began to introduce other beasts to Yin Lingling.

Her eyes were first attracted by a soft silver light. It was a nine-tailed fox cub, now one year old. It was curled up safely among the ancient branches, sleeping soundly, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with it.

The moonlight shone through the sparse gaps in the leaves onto her body, casting a faint silver glow on her soft hair.

Lan Yunyan's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and she whispered softly, "Sound Elf, I will call you Sakura from now on. I hope you can be as gorgeous as the cherry blossoms, and yet carry a bit of purity that is untainted by dust."

"Okay, thank you, Master." Sakura's voice was clear and sweet, like a mountain spring, carrying a hint of newborn joy and curiosity about the unknown world.

Her body shook slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if she was full of anticipation for this new name.

Lan Yunyan reached out and gently stroked Xiaoying's hair. Her gaze turned to the little fox in the tree again, her eyes full of doting: "Xiaoying, look at that little creature sleeping in the tree. It's the cub of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. I call her Little Nine. Although she is young, she has already shown the signs of a demon fox. She will become a great one in the future.

Also, the sword next to me has a sword spirit called Liuli, and it's a powerful being."

After saying that, Lan Yunyan called out softly, "Mengli, come here."

Following Lan Yunyan's call, a little girl in blue slowly appeared. Her eyes were clear and moving, like morning dew, exuding a tranquil and mysterious aura.

"Mengli, this is the sound elf." Lan Yunyan introduced.

The sound elf smiled and greeted Mengli, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart. It was as if they had known each other for a long time, or that there was some special connection between them.

"Nice to meet you, Sound Elf." Mengli's voice was as sweet as the sound of nature. "Your name is Xiaoying, right? Welcome to join our big family."

Just as they were talking, a slight rustling sound broke the silence around them. It turned out that Xiaojiu in the tree slowly woke up.

He slowly opened his bright eyes, which were like two rising stars, sparkling with curiosity and innocence. When his eyes fell on Sakura, the hair on his body instantly stood up.

Its eyes were fixed on Xiaoying, full of vigilance. This strange creature exuded a unique light and aura, which made Xiaojiu feel uneasy instinctively.

It keenly realized that this newly emerged creature might threaten its position in Lan Yunyan's heart.

Xiaojiu's nine little tails were stretched straight, and its body was slightly arched, making a posture ready to attack at any time. It stared at Xiaoying closely and made a low whining sound in its throat, as if warning Xiaoying not to come near.

However, Sakura was completely oblivious to Nine's reaction, still radiating her own light as she looked around curiously.

Seeing Sakura's nonchalant expression, Xiaojiu's anger grew even stronger. He felt that Sakura was deliberately provoking him, so he couldn't hold it back any longer and suddenly pounced on Sakura. He waved his little claws, trying to attack Sakura.

Sakura was startled by Xiaojiu's sudden attack and dodged quickly, but Xiaojiu was extremely fast and kept chasing Sakura, launching round after round of attacks.

Just as Xiaojiu and Xiaoying were engaged in a fierce fight, Lan Yunyan rushed forward to stop them. She dashed forward and stood in front of Xiaoying. Seeing Lan Yunyan protecting Xiaoying, Xiaojiu felt even more wronged and angry. He stopped attacking and stood not far away, tears glistening in his eyes.

Lan Yunyan looked at the aggrieved yet stubborn cub, Xiaojiu, and felt a surge of pity. She slowly squatted down and gently held Xiaojiu in her arms.

"Xiaojiu, don't be angry." Lan Yunyan's voice was as gentle as water, as if it could soothe any anxieties. She gently stroked Xiaojiu's furry little head, and the soft touch made Xiaojiu's emotions calm down a little.

Lan Yunyan moved closer to Xiaojiu and rubbed her cheek against its little face. "You are my most beloved Xiaojiu. No one can replace your place in my heart. Xiaoying is just our new friend. You can play together and keep me company in the future."

Her fingers gently slid along Xiaojiu's back, feeling her slightly trembling body. "Be good, Xiaojiu, you're the most sensible one. Don't be so unhappy just because Xiaoying showed up. You have your cuteness, and Xiaoying has her own uniqueness. You're both unique."

Lan Yunyan took out Xiaojiu's favorite spiritual fruit from the space and placed it in front of Xiaojiu.

"Look, this is your favorite spiritual fruit. Don't be angry, let's share it, okay?"

Xiaojiu looked at the spiritual fruit, the tears in her eyes gradually dissipated, and her little nose twitched slightly.

Lan Yunyan continued to coax Xiaojiu in a soft voice. With Lan Yunyan's gentle comfort, Xiaojiu finally calmed down completely.

It stretched out its little tongue and licked Lan Yunyan's fingers, and its nine little tails also began to wag gently.

Lan Yunyan looked at Xiaojiu's changes and smiled with satisfaction. She knew that Xiaojiu no longer resisted Xiaoyin's presence.

Lan Yunyan gently put Xiaojiu down. Xiaojiu stood on the ground, looking at Xiaoying from time to time. Although there was still a hint of vigilance, he no longer had the previous hostility.

Sakura seemed to have sensed the change in Xiaojiu's attitude, and it slowly floated towards Xiaojiu, emitting a soft light.

Xiaojiu looked at Xiaoying who was approaching, and his little claws moved slightly, but he did not make any attacking movements.

Lan Yunyan looked at them with a smile and encouraged them, "Xiaojiu, Xiaoying is our friend. You can play together in the future."

Sakura circled around Xiaojiu and then stopped in front of it. Xiaojiu tilted its head and looked at Sakura curiously. Gradually, Xiaojiu's tail gently wagged.

Lan Yunyan was filled with joy when she saw this scene. She knew that harmonious coexistence among partners was very important on this challenging adventure.
