Snow Moon's face turned a little red.
A bit of sweat formed on her forehead.
What is this?
Knowing her real name, it seemed highly likely that they also knew about the existence of DMG?
The Yaoguai King... is that powerful?
The pressure on Snow Moon was immense.
In her eyes, everything seemed to darken, and those slightly opened eyes were the only thing she could see clearly.
Poof.
Suddenly, all that pressure vanished.
Snow Moon found herself back in the splendid and magnificent palace with the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King, whose eyes were gently closed.
The Thousand Tails was smiling.
"Enough teasing, come with me."
"Huh!?"
Snow Moon was startled.
Her body floated in mid-air, as if she were drifting on water.
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King circled around her, as if observing someone whom they wanted as a disciple.
"You're quite pretty in real life too~"
"In real life... Ah !?"
A hand playfully swatted her backside.
Snow Moon's face turned as red as a ripe gac fruit as she stared at the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
She was utterly embarrassed. Thousand Tails merely chuckled, then approached and gently lifted her chin.
"Let's go."
The sound of dripping water echoed.
Snow Moon, still confused, saw her feet transform into water, flowing down onto the floor.
She looked at the Thousand Tails, and her body was also turning into water, streaming down.
Her water was naturally colored, but the Thousand Tails's liquid had a light pink hue.
In an instant, both of them had transformed into flowing water, cascading through the intricate patterns of fox tails etched into the floor of the Grand Hall.
Two Yaoguai Generals watched this scene without any surprise, continuing their guard duty.
One of them, who had been staring at the Thousand Tails unabashedly, was the Golden Monkey.
The Golden Dog noticed and spoke up.
"Consider yourself lucky to be a Yaoguai General tasked with protecting the lord; otherwise, anyone else staring at them for so long would have already had their eyes gouged out."
"What do you know!?" retorted the Golden Monkey. "Thousand Tails is truly a peerless beauty. Am I not allowed to admire her?"
The Golden Monkey seemed to make a resolution.
"I will definitely focus on training, becoming a Yaoguai King to stand by her side."
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Give up on that dream. You lack the prerequisite condition," the Golden Dog laughed and shook his head.
"What are you talking about? What condition? Don't you think I have the potential to become a Yaoguai King? Want to fight? Hah!"
The beastly nature of the Golden Monkey flared up.
The Golden Dog just shook his head.
"It's one thing to have power, but the prerequisite for catching the lord's attention is something you won't have in your lifetime."
"Why won't I have it my entire life? What is it?"
The Golden Dog pointed two fingers at the Golden Monkey’s eyes."The power to change the future."
The Golden Monkey was speechless.
"The fact that the Thousand Tails could lead the Yaoguais is partly because of their own strength and partly due to their abilities."
"The left eye sees the past, the right eye predicts the future. With this ability, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King can lead the Yaoguais to their most prosperous era, avoiding all dangers."
"So what does that have to do with me wanting to pursue the lord!?" The Golden Monkey irritably glared at the Golden Dog.
"You are too boring for the lord."
Huh?
The Golden Monkey was visibly stunned.
The Golden Dog pulled out a piece of paper.
"This is the paper the lord gave me yesterday, telling me to open and read it when you mentioned wanting to become a Yaoguai King."
The Golden Dog unfolded the paper and handed it directly to the Golden Monkey.
The writing was very beautiful, very clear.
Only, the content was somewhat at odds with the handwriting.
"If that monkey keeps using those eyes to look at me like that, he won’t survive the Festival to become a Yaoguai King."
The Golden Monkey started sweating.
"Our conversation, the lord already knew since yesterday."
The Golden Dog continued smoking.
"That's also why the Thousand Tails is still single, even though other Yaoguai Kings have also brought gifts to propose alliances with them."
"I still don't understand, what do you mean?" The Golden Monkey was curious.
"Let me tell you an old tale."
"Long ago, there were twin sisters, the elder could see the future, the younger could see the past."
"The younger lived a full, happy life, while the elder sister committed suicide at a very young age."
"Let me ask you, why?"
"The elder... saw a bad future?" The Golden Monkey scratched his head.
The Golden Dog shook his head.
"The future has both good and bad. If she committed suicide just because of a bad future, it wouldn't be quite right."
"The strength of these twins was immense, so strong that the elder sister saw a long and vast future entirely."
"She could see everything that would happen, no different from a divine spirit."
"But... The more she looked into the future, the more bleak she became."
"Because... nothing was exciting anymore."
"Everything that happened had been pre-determined."
"A surprise gift would no longer be surprising."
"A chance encounter was already known."
"Every death of her loved ones had a set date."
"She gradually lost interest in life."
"At some point, she felt indifferent to everything; nothing excited her anymore."
"Suddenly, she had a thought."
"If I die, the future I see will completely change."
"Isn't that very interesting?"
The Golden Monkey shivered a bit.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"It's just a fairy tale from my homeland." The Golden Dog smiled."Consider what makes the Thousand Tails different from the girl in that story."
The Golden Monkey pondered deeply.
Finally, he spoke.
"You mean the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King feels extremely bored?"
"That was in the past." The Golden Dog brushed his hands together.
"Previously, unless the Thousand Tails met the Heavenly Demon In Black, she wouldn't smile at all."
"The palace doctor diagnosed his condition as the 'seeing the future sickness,' a name given based on that fairy tale."
"Those who foresee the future often find everything dull, losing interest in everything."
"For those with a mild ability to predict, it's less likely to fall into this condition, but if you can see everything in the future, this sickness is quite common."
"For you, or for those other aspiring Yaoguai Kings. With just one glance, the Thousand Tails has already seen the entirety of life if the lord lived with you."
"The lord wasn't interested from the start, you never had a chance."
"Love begins with many things, but the first feeling must be of interest."
"You randomly meet someone, they leave an impression on you, you feel intrigued."
"Only from there do you start to learn about them."
"The reason many people end up with scoundrels is the same. The first step, those scoundrels made them feel interesting."
"I'm not even sure if you would truly love the lord in the future, but you have leave the lord with no interest."
"The sense of intrigue is partly created by curiosity, a sense of mystery."
"For the Thousand Tails lord, that feeling is completely absent because of her eyes..."
The Golden Monkey listened intently, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed, each word from the Golden Dog cutting painfully, leaving him breathless.
"So, if you want a chance, at least you must have the ability to change the future."
"Only then will you be a mystery in the eyes of the Thousand Tails lord."
The Golden Monkey was completely defeated by the Golden Dog’s words.
He fell silent.
The Golden Dog patted him on the shoulder.
"Come on, my friend, you just chose the wrong person to pursue."
