Chapter 176 Fox Tail
"very good."
The Ice Queen nodded with satisfaction, and with a slight wave of her hand, the Heart of the Water God in Liu Bai's hand flew towards her.
Then she looked at Liu Bai again and found that he was looking at her eagerly while holding a sip of milkshake.
"If you want any reward or anything else, just tell me."
The Ice Queen nodded slightly to Liu Bai.
Hearing the words of the Ice Queen, Liu Bai immediately showed an aggrieved expression on his face, and then he rushed to the throne and hugged her cold long legs.
"Your Majesty! The little pigeon bullied me!"
Liu Bai hugged the cold and hard thighs and cried.
"Oh, so you're here to complain. How did she bully you?"
The voice of the Ice Queen came from behind.
Liu Bai then raised his head in confusion and found that there was only an ice sculpture on the throne that looked similar to the Ice Queen, and he was holding the long legs of the ice sculpture.
Turning back, Liu Bai discovered that the Ice Queen had been sitting on an ice chair floating in the air, floating above the hall and looking down at him.
"Then how did she bully you?"
The Ice Queen asked Liu Bai who had just reacted.
"She worked together with my girl to win my money..."
Liu Bai said weakly.
"I see. The reward you want is for her to return the Mora that won you?"
The Ice Queen played with the Heart of the Water God in one hand and spoke with a little understanding.
"…Forget it, it's just a few Mora."
"But speaking of rewards, Your Majesty, I do have a question that has been bothering me for a long time and I just can't remember it."
Liu Bai shook his head. Losing to Mora wouldn't make him sad for long.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Even if I can't answer them for you, there will always be someone who can answer them throughout the winter."
The Ice Queen said this with great conviction.
Or maybe she felt that Liu Bai couldn't ask any questions that were too profound.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your grace."
"Actually, this is what happened. When I went to Xumi before, I saw a fennec fox with huge ears, but it could actually speak human language..."
"My head has been confused since then. I can't remember what a fox's cry sounds like. Your Majesty, can you help me solve this puzzle?"
Liu Bai explained to the Ice Queen.
He couldn't figure out how to induce others to speak, so he always asked questions directly.
If others are unaware of the seriousness of the matter and are prepared, the success rate should be quite high.
"Fox... There is a kind of snow fox on the snowfield..."
The Ice Queen murmured softly upon hearing this.
In fact, just like gods from other countries, as the goddess of ice, she seldom leaves winter. Apart from the snow fox she mentioned, she hasn't seen other kinds of foxes for a long time.
"Is this the reward you want?"
"Let me think about it, is it the cry of a fox..."
The Ice Queen said as she recalled a little.
"Well, I remember now. It's probably like this..."
Soon, the Ice Queen recalled the fox's cry.
Hum!
The next moment, she imitated the cry of a fox.
The sound is very similar to the real animal calls, and there is no trace of imitation at all.
The fox's cry is rather sharp, like a scream, and it should be a sound made when it is emotionally excited. However, this is the only sound that the Ice Queen remembers.
"How is it, can you remember it?"
The Ice Queen acted like a teacher and after giving Liu Bai the answer, she asked him if he could remember it.
“…That’s right.”
Liu Bai did not answer, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers as soon as he realized what was happening.
"?"
The Ice Queen, who was sitting on the ice chair, first reacted by feeling something hit her butt.
She stood up in the air, and a plush, fluffy, pure white snow fox tail stretched out from behind her. The amount of hair on the tail was astonishingly high.
That seems to be the tail of the rarest kind of snow fox in winter. This kind of snow fox is characterized by its fluffy tail hair that can cover its entire body so that it can hide in the snow, but because this cannot cover the smell and avoid natural enemies, its number has been on the verge of extinction.
In addition to the big tail, the Ice Queen also grew two snow-white fox ears on her head.
Compared to Nashida's cat ears, they are bigger, thicker, and more fluffy, and seem to feel better.
"Hey, this is the reward I want."
Looking at the Ice Queen who had become cuter, Liu Bai couldn't help but smile foolishly.
Normally she was so cold and stern, but now she looked so adorable.
Holding the inexplicably extra fox tail in one hand, the Ice Queen looked down at Liu Bai, who was touching his head and grinning.
Taking a deep breath, the Ice Queen held her big tail in one hand and picked up the Heart of the Water God with the other.
call out--
Snapped!
"Ow—!"
With Liu Bai's scream, the Heart of the Water God that hit his forehead was bounced back and fell back into the hands of the Ice Queen.
[↑Bronze Head: Reduces 20% head damage]
When Liu Bai came back to his senses with his hands on his forehead, he found that a cold current was sweeping over, exactly the same as the last time he obtained the Heart of the Ice God, mixed with a large number of sharp ice cones.
Then, Liu Bai disappeared with a whoosh in the cold current.
After confirming that Liu Bai had left the Winter Palace, the Ice Queen slowly descended from the air and waved her hand to disperse the ice sculptures on the throne.
Looking at her big tail, the Ice Queen fell into deep thought.
Affected by the emotion, the snow fox ears on her head drooped involuntarily.
How can she face people like this!
It seems that I should not call an executive meeting until I change back...
……
Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.
"Hi, Brother Zhongli, and my dear allies, good morning."
At the table between Zhongli and Ruoli who were playing chess, Liu Bai appeared out of nowhere and sat down on the chessboard, greeting the two of them.
"…What are you doing? I almost won!"
Ruoli was silent for a while, then her big tail stood up like a dragon tree behind her, and she shouted at Liu Bai with her teeth and claws bared in anger.
"?"
Only then did Liu Bai notice that he was actually sitting on a Go board.
Strange... Is there such a chess in Teyvat? I've never seen it before...
"Ahem, don't panic, I'll heal you."
Coming down from the table, Liu Bai coughed lightly, then rearranged the chess pieces.
Since Ruoli said she was going to win, Liu Bai directly helped her place the four black chess pieces together.
This way, she only needs to play one more piece to complete the five-piece line and win.
"Oh oh! It's my turn, it's my turn!"
Ruoli's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up a black piece and placed it on the position Liu Bai had placed it.
Five pieces in a line, she wins!
"...Ruotu, you are the white piece in this game."
Zhong Li, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and gave a reminder.
"?"
Ruoli raised her head and looked at Liu Bai, who was also confused.
"I strangle you!"
Then Ruoli pounced on him and pinched Liu Bai's neck fiercely.
"I'm dying, I'm wrong. I'll give you a gift..."
Liu Bai begged for mercy quickly.
My +14 neck seems unable to withstand her pinching...
"…This is a nutritional milkshake I bought at Fontaine. It is said to be very delicious. I couldn't bear to drink it, so I gave it to you, my ally."
After Ruoli let go of him, Liu Bai took out a bottle of milkshake and handed it to her.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhongli, you also have a share."
Then Liu Bai took out another bottle of milkshake, walked over and stuffed it into Zhongli's hand.
