"Hey… wait. What's with these tails?!" Huo Ling exclaimed when he saw that his soul has gained nine tails. His face is covered with black lines.

Xiao Hualing turned to him. "Senior Huo, you are so handsome!" she sincerely said. "Ah, wait… those tails… it seems like they are of a fox's? White fox!" she said. "And, you are a fire fox." She added.
