Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

From the moment Roland picked up the pendant to the moment the system absorbed the Golden Fox bloodline, only a few seconds had passed.

All the people saw was Roland, her tail wagging, howling like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, a red light flowed from the pendant and entered Roland's palm.

This terrified everyone.

Ms. Tree flicked out a vine, knocking the pendant off Roland's hand.

The pendant fell to the floor with a crisp sound; the blood-red gemstone on it had faded and turned into a piece of transparent glass.

Ms. Shu's face turned ugly, and she cursed angrily.

"Damn it, what kind of magical trap is this? How come so many of us didn't notice it!"

She looked up at Roland, her gaze nervously sweeping over Roland.

"Miss Roland, how are you feeling right now? Is there anything unusual?"

Roland quickly waved her hand to calm everyone down.

"Don't panic, this isn't a magic trap, and I wasn't hurt at all!"

She scratched her cheek and pointed to the pendant on the ground.

"This thing seems to be made from the bloodline of the Golden Fox. It resonated with me and just purified my bloodline."

Now it was the nightingale's turn to cry out in surprise.

"What are you talking about? How could you possibly be a member of the Golden Fox royal family?"

Roland couldn't think of a good excuse for a moment.

After all, the system's skills are just that unreasonable.

She had no choice but to use the same words Coco the cat had used before, and shook the fox ears on her head.

"Didn't Coco the cat say before that I was triggered by a magical item and regressed to my ancestral nature? Maybe I had a golden fox as an ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, the nightingale felt utterly bewildered.

She's recently been reading "Southern Springtime Encounters: How to Pet a Kemono Girl's Tail? The Perfect Choice During the Breeding Season!"

According to the book, the Golden Fox Royal Family are the purest and noblest of the foxes.

Moreover, this fox-eared girl also possesses a special talent for dual cultivation.

How could such a powerful bloodline possibly be atavistic?

The nightingale hesitated, then could only speak tactfully.

"Miss Roland, your ancestral bloodline is at most that of an ordinary fox girl with golden fur."

"Don't be fooled by the fox girl we took in a few days ago. Royal bloodlines don't appear so easily."

Ms. Tree stepped forward and nodded in agreement with Nightingale's words.

"Miss Nightingale is right."

"The bloodline of the Golden Fox royal family is far stronger than that of humans. If you truly possess such blood, you would have been born with a fox tail."

"Miss Roland, please come here and give me a thorough examination."

Left with no other choice, Roland had to come to the tree lady.

Ms. Tree is now 2.2 meters tall. When Roland stands in front of her, she can only barely reach her ample breasts with her head.

Ms. Shu had to bend over to get a medical checkup.

Then, a pair of delicate hands stroked Roland's fox tail, groping upwards along the tail until they reached inside her skirt.

The nightingale quickly stopped her.

"Ms. Tree, what are you doing!"

The Tree Lady's hair transformed into a vine, blocking the nightingale, and she answered in a serious voice.

"This is a checkup, a proper physical examination."

She continued to stroke Roland's back, her hands radiating magical light.

Five minutes later, she withdrew her hands, her face grave.

Nightingale glanced at Roland's slightly flushed face, then shifted her gaze to Lady Tree.

"Ms. Shu, did your examination reveal any important information?"

She emphasized the word "inspect" with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

Ms. Tree didn't notice Nightingale's tone; instead, she stared wide-eyed at Roland in disbelief.

To be precise, it was looking at Roland's fluffy golden tail behind her.

"Miss Roland... I can't identify the type, but your bloodline strength is currently very high."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you really are now a member of the Golden Fox royal family."

"What?!"

The crowd gasped in surprise, and even the two Sisters of Thorn, who had been sent to protect Roland, let out short, cute sounds.

After a moment's thought, Ms. Tree asked everyone outside the core members of the church to leave.

Then he turned around and said with a serious expression.

"Miss Roland, I have some very unmagical news to tell you, so please be prepared."

Roland swallowed hard, feeling a little uneasy.

She just upgraded her transformation skill in the system, why does it seem like she's facing a major disaster?

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm ready."

Ms. Shu nodded, looked around, and saw that everyone around her was someone she could trust.

She spoke.

"Miss Roland, you now not only possess the bloodline of the Golden Fox royal family, but you are also pure-blooded, the purest of all."

"Even if the existing Golden Fox came, it would have to call you 'ancestor'."

Seeing Roland's blank expression, Ms. Tree's voice became somewhat hoarse.

"In other words, you're not even human anymore, you're a purebred beastman, the golden fox among golden foxes."

Roland was shocked and couldn't help but stretch out her tail, grab it, and look her up and down.

Holy crap, the system's capabilities are terrifying; it's even changed the species.

No wonder the effect is so powerful.

From the very beginning, she felt her physical fitness was constantly improving.

This is a free skill upgrade, awesome!

Roland was secretly pleased, but looking at the serious-looking crowd, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Isn't this a good thing? Doesn't having a pure bloodline mean you have good talent?"

Why do you all look so gloomy?

The nightingale smiled bitterly.

"Miss Roland, this is the Empire, and you are an imperial noble."

"The imperial nobility does not accept orcs from other places. You will be isolated. If you cause a public opinion storm, you may even be stripped of your noble title."

Roland shrugged indifferently.

Regardless of the fox tail, as long as she accumulates enough faith points, she can activate the skill to retract it.

Even if they can't take it back, who would believe that Roland is a pure-blooded beastman?

Unless there is some extremely high-ranking person who can use this as an excuse to fight Roland to the bitter end.

What kind of boring person is this... huh?

As if she had thought of something, Roland's neck, like a malfunctioning machine, slowly turned her head.

She looked at the pendant gift on the floor.

Nightingale added as appropriate.

"I suspect that Bizan deliberately gave you this pendant as a gift because he noticed your golden fox lineage."

"I'm afraid he'll make a big deal out of this, and we'll be in a very passive position."

"Damn it!" Roland's expression turned indignant.

"This is bigger than a tiger's head. No wonder he was so arrogant and domineering during the negotiations, looking down on everyone with his head held high."

"So you thought I was a golden fox?"

"Sigh, now I really am the Golden Fox. But Nightingale, you don't need to worry too much."

Roland clapped her hands, squatted down to pick up the pendant from the floor, glanced at the now-transparent gem, and comforted everyone.

"Don't worry, I can retract my fox ears and tail."

"You can think of it as a kind of transformation magic. Once I spend some time learning it, I'll be able to transform back."

Nightingale, Jenny, and Coco the cat all cast questioning glances at them, with expressions that said, "I don't believe this isn't magic."

Only Ms. Tree and Renee showed a hint of understanding.

This must be another of Roland's special talents.

That's true, turning into a fox isn't as scary as "Lauren's Milk".

But where did Miss Roland get so many strange abilities? It's really intriguing.
