Behind the scenes, Su Jiu was discussing countermeasures with several powerful demons in the academy.

"A curse of the original sin level transcends the limitations of time and space and cannot be cured by external forces. The only way is to guide Xiaojing to come into contact with it herself."

"I'll figure out a way to do this."

"Well, with his current immense power, it's impossible for the Demon Serpent's curse to control or harm him," Su Jiu said, seemingly unconcerned about these things.

"Well, as long as the demon snake doesn't get close, it'll be fine. If all else fails, I'll just take Jing with me," Qiongqi said.

“It’s none of your business to worry about this. He’s my disciple,” Su Jiu said.

Two figures walked over.

A young girl in a fiery red princess dress, though petite, exuded a regal air.

The other was a strange man dressed like a clown from a comedy circus.

"Fire Phoenix, Red Devil, you've arrived."

"I came here to pick up Qin Jing and take her to the Americas Secret Realm, but I never expected something like this to happen," said the girl with long, fiery hair. She was the creator of the Americas Secret Realm, and the fire spirits did indeed resemble her somewhat.

"Hehehe, the Demon Serpent has really done something interesting," the Red Devil said with a laugh.

"Hey, I didn't agree to that," Qiongqi said to Huofeng.

"When have I ever needed your permission to do anything? Besides, I'm looking for humans, so as long as they agree, that's fine. But we can't have a proper conversation like this now," the girl said nonchalantly.

"The way to break a curse since ancient times has always been to deny the purpose of the curse. If the curse loses its original purpose, it ceases to exist."

A curse must have conditions, so let's use those conditions to break it. The curse is 'loneliness,' so let's offer 'care.' Thus, in the legends of humanity's triumph over evil, there is often love, courage, and hope. After the curse is broken, let him come see me." The Fire Phoenix waved its hand, walked out of the hall, transformed into a giant bird that blotted out the sky, and left the Penglai World.

"Thank you, Fire Phoenix," Su Jiu said gratefully.

“Then I’ll stay. I find what the Demon Serpent likes to do very interesting, but I’d be happy if it could be cracked,” Red Devil said with a smile.

"How about it? Want to make a bet?" Su Jiu asked Red Devil.

After that, Su Jiu and the girls took the giant fox back to their dormitory.

The big fox was lying on the blanket, with a book in front of it.

"Woo-woo." Every time he made that sound.

Youyou then turned a new page for him.

Seeing this, the girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Section 257, Chapter 73: Daily Life in the Dormitory

"Are you sure you don't need to send any maids over? Are you sure it's okay for just a few young girls like you to take care of him? If this continues, Xiao Jing will become more and more beastly. It will be very difficult for him then," Su Jiu asked.

“It’s alright, after all, we’ve always received care from Xiaojing, so let’s just consider this a return gift,” Alice said.

“Yes, this is a rare experience. I never expected that the mature Qin Jing could have such a cute side.” Mo Mo said with a smile.

"Beastly desires!!" Upon hearing this, the whale immediately jumped up and hugged the big fox's leg, excitedly shouting, "Xiao Jing! Hug me, unleash your beastly desires, and torture me to your heart's content! Ahh!"

The big fox glanced at the blue-haired girl with disdain, then pinned her down beneath him, letting her struggle to keep her from bothering him. He was now one of the strongest in the entire Yokai Academy.

"Breathe...breathe...this play is a bit too wild." The whale's limbs thrashed about, then it convulsed for a moment and remained motionless.

"Breathe with your gills, you stupid mermaid! And come out and cook!" Alice yelled.

"Yes... glug glug." The whale, which summoned water and breathed through its gills, was dragged out from under the big fox and obediently went to the kitchen to cook. Now, only she could handle such a large family dining together.

"Speaking of which, with Xiaojing's current figure, how big must her appetite be?" Wang Zi suddenly remembered a serious question.

Like a bolt from the blue, a flash of lightning seemed to strike the little lion's ahoge (cowlick). The little lion clenched his fists, prepared himself, tears welling in his eyes, but still said, "I've decided! I'll make sure Xiao Jing is full before I eat!"

"Seba, you're shedding tears of blood."

"No need to exaggerate like that. Xiaojing's special admission scholarship will be provided to you. It's enough for you to squander until graduation. If you use it sparingly, you might even be able to retire after graduation," Su Jiu said with a smile.

"Ah, it seems like everything has turned upside down now." During dinner, Wangzi looked at the big fox and sighed.

"Come on, Xiaojing, eat!"

Seba, drooling uncontrollably, held a plate bigger than her head in one hand and used the other to pick up meat and feed the big fox. Because its teeth were very sharp, chopsticks could easily be bitten off, so she used steel tongs. The big fox opened its mouth like a dog eating, picked up the meat and chewed it, with crumbs falling all over the ground.

“Let’s give him a big plate and let him eat,” Alice said.

“No, I’d better take care of Xiaojing.” Seba shook her head and continued her work, treating feeding her friend as her mission.

The big fox resisted the instinctive urge to lick the girl, paused, and rubbed its fluffy tail against the girl's face to express its gratitude.

Fortunately, the big fox's appetite was not as large as its size, and it was full in no time.

Before Seba's drooling becomes a river, he can finally return to the dinner table and enjoy a hearty meal.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room, sitting on the floor with their backs to the large fox, watching TV. Many programs were broadcasting news about the Tiger God Festival, with the hosts introducing the contestants and showing highlights from previous competitions.

Then the screen showed a group photo of the winning team on the high platform after their victory, but instead of the delicate-looking boy, there was a huge fox in the photo.

"Alright, alright, let your older sister take you to take a bath!" Momo reached out and grabbed the big fox's tail, dragging him towards the bathroom.

"Wait! Senior Momo, it's my right to scrub Xiaojing's back!" Seba stepped forward and said.

"Seba, you still need me to scrub your back!" Alice said irritably.

“It’s when I’m honest with my brothers and we get to know each other better!” Jill said.

"Big sister, I want to come too!" Wang Zigao raised his hand and said.

Whale had already taken out a change of clothes from the room and was heading towards the bathroom.

"So it turned into everyone bathing together..." Wang Zi said helplessly.

“Thankfully, the bath here is big enough,” Alice said.

"Well, that's because I had the foresight to think that if humans came to this world, they would definitely want to build a harem. If it were Japan, they would also have to buy a few beast-eared slaves, while in China, they would sign an equal contract or something. How wonderful, having so many beauties to bathe with you, it's an extravagant life like a wine pool and a meat forest!"

"Woo-woo~!" The big fox, soaking in the hot spring, enjoyed the temperature and let out a comfortable woof.

“Youyou wants to play in the big pool too!” said the white-haired girl sitting in the small bathtub.

"Youyou, be patient! Don't come any closer, or the hot spring will freeze over," Su Jiu said.

As night fell and everyone went to sleep, the big fox, being too large, was unable to return to its room to rest, so it could only lie on the blanket in the living room.

Youyou didn't find it troublesome at all, so she simply leaned against the big fox and fell asleep on his fluffy tail.

The weather has been getting warmer lately, and it's very comfortable to have Youyou by my side to cool me down. If I feel cold, I can just hug the big fox's fluffy tail. Not only the tail, but the whole body is also soft and cuddly, making it very comfortable to sleep in.

After transforming into a large fox, its tastes seemed to change as well.

When Su Jiu, who had just returned, saw Qin Jing like this, he laughed and teased him with fried tofu. Qin Jing opened his mouth to take a bite, but the fried tofu fell into his spatial dimension and then appeared out of Su Jiu's mouth.

Seeing Su Jiu taunting him with a fried tofu in her mouth, the monster fox pounced on her, intending to bite the tofu off along with her mouth.

Su Jiu teleported to another location in an instant, smugly mocking the monster fox, which angered the fox so much that it turned around and lay on the ground, ignoring her for a long time.

Even if he becomes one of them, it seems he still can't bring himself to like Su Jiu's appearance.

Over the course of a few days, the girls got along quite well with Qin Jing, who had transformed into a giant fox. Despite the many inconveniences, they overcame them all because they genuinely wanted what was best for each other.

Su Jiu told Jing and Momo how to break the curse. "You did a great job. The snake's curse must have conditions. He said he wanted to see Qin Jing ostracized and abandoned by her own kind, companions, and family, so we have to prove his curse wrong."

Section 258, Chapter 74: After the Monster Returns Home

After these days of effort, Qin Jing did not feel the pain of being ostracized by her peers. Therefore, the curse seemed to have lessened, at least her intelligence and memory did not show any significant decline.

However, the girls have to admit that their animalistic instincts are growing stronger. Qin Jing, who could at first calm down and read a book, no longer does.

It's not that I don't want to read, but when I put the book down for him, he sometimes suddenly looks puzzled.

Yes, I've forgotten some words, or I recognize the word but can no longer understand it properly.

How painful must this be for a book-loving teenager?

The girls found it hard to imagine, but seeing the sadness in his eyes always made their hearts ache.

"If we go home, Xiaojing will get better, right?" the girls asked.

“Yes, let him go home and receive the love of his family, he will definitely get better! Trust me, and trust Xiaojing too,” Su Jiu replied with a smile.

"Yes!" The girls nodded emphatically.

"Then I'll go pack Xiaojing's luggage."

"I'll help too."

"Then I'll go prepare some snacks."

The girls got busy one by one.

For the sake of the boy, they all endured it, not saying they wanted to go with him, but doing everything they could for him.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to take Xiaojing away. I'll leave this place to you."

After finishing her conversation with the girls, Su Jiu opened a spatial portal and returned to her office. Her subordinate demons were already waiting there.

"Sending Xiaojing home is such a headache. I'm afraid I'm going to get a terrible scolding," Su Jiu sighed as she walked out of the portal.

“Lord Su Jiu, leave these trivial matters to Black Fox and Dai Dai.” At this moment, Black Fox and Dai Dai, who had once served as agents under Su Jiu, stepped forward.

"Sigh... Well, the likable ones are always the stars, and the bad cops are always the managers. That's just fate. Once he's back to normal, I'll get him a lot more work and make a fortune," Dai Dai sighed, resignedly saying.

“No, you may all step back. Leave this matter to me. I started everything, and I brought this child into this world, so naturally I should be responsible for him,” Su Jiu said softly.

"If I could, I really wouldn't want his most beloved family to be sad, but it's fate. This is the only way. We must make the snake's curse fall off completely so that Qin Jing can break the curse and recover."

After that, Qin Jing was sent back to the Qin family. Qin's parents and Xiao Kui saw a big dog that looked like a bear in their house, and they felt very close to it.

"Teacher Su Jiu, is this a bear you brought? It looks so familiar," Qin's father asked.

"No, it's a dog, isn't it?" Qin Ma asked doubtfully.

"No, this is Xiao Jing." Su Jiu replied with a dignified and gentle smile that was approachable yet not frivolous.

"Hahaha! It's Xiao Jing! No wonder you looked so familiar. Xiao Jing?" Qin's father replied with a hearty laugh.

"Xiao Jing! Your Xiao Jing!!" Qin Ma stepped forward and hugged the big fox.

"You mean this is... Xiao Jing?" Qin's father looked at the giant beast in front of him in disbelief.

"Woo woo..." The monstrous fox lay on the ground, keeping its body as low as possible, afraid to move too much, lest it frighten its family.

He's like the giant beetle in Kafka's story, feeling guilty for causing trouble for his family, yet longing for their care, afraid of hurting them, and terrified of being abandoned by them.

"Yes, because of an unexpected situation, he needs your help to recover," Su Jiu said, bowing apologetically.

"Nini?" Xiao Kui stepped forward and met the fox monster's eyes.

Xiao Kui reached out and cupped the monster's face in her hands, examining it closely.

"Waaah..." The monster looked at the little girl in front of him. His memory had deteriorated a lot. Not only could he not understand books, but sometimes he couldn't even understand some of the words his companions said. He could only understand what they were saying by half listening and half guessing. How was he supposed to get along with his family like this?

Suddenly, Xiao Kui opened her mouth, revealing her fangs, and lunged at the monster to bite.

The big fox instinctively dodged, swinging its large tail to block, and Xiao Kui was sent flying.

The fox monster quickly used its other tail to wrap Xiao Kui up and put her back on the ground.

"Ptooey, ptooey." After being put down, Xiao Kui couldn't bite anything except for a mouthful of fox fur; the monster's fur was just too thick.

"It's definitely Nini!" Xiao Kui said confidently to her parents after spitting out the fur in her mouth. The only thing that could make her have such a strong appetite was her favorite Nini.

"Don't try to confirm this by tasting it!" Qin's parents complained, but after hearing their daughter's words, they accepted the identity of the fox monster in front of them.

"Xiao Jing, my son..."

"What happened to make you suffer like this?"

"Ow..."

Qin's parents hugged the monster's head together. The last time the child came home, he was so small that they could wrap their arms around him. Now he had grown so big that even with all their arms outstretched, they couldn't hug him anymore.

The fox monster closed its eyes, feeling the warmth of its family, and softly called out.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Dad will definitely protect you! No matter what happens, we can always get through it together as a family!" Qin's father said, patting the fox on the back.

"Yes, don't worry, no matter what happens, you'll always be your mother's son," Qin's mother said, hugging the fox.

After that, with Su Jiu's help, the Qin family cleared out a space specifically for Qin Jing to rest. The furniture was put away, and the entire living room became much more spacious.
