I, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch, Have a Dad Who's Only Eighteen

The youngest and most doted-on member of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, Bai Jiujiu,

was nine thousand years old this year, and it was time for her to undergo her tribulation.

“What even is a tribulation? Does it come with tasty tangyou baba?”

The fluffy white ball, round as a little puffball, munched on the delicacies her big brother had brought back from the human world, grease all over her mouth.

“After you undergo your tribulation, you'll reach maturity...”

Her old dad droned on with a long lecture...

The chubby puffball looked down at her belly.

“I'm not going. I'm perfectly happy like this! A tribulation? Not even a dog would...”

“There's freshly cooked tangyou baba in the human world, with bubbling brown sugar syrup. Just take a bite...”

“...I'll go! If even a dog won't go, then I'll go! Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, don't miss me too much. I'm off to eat... I mean, undergo my tribulation!”

The human world.

“Where's my fur? I stayed in my original form for nine thousand years, and I transform as soon as I come to the human world?”

The chubby puffball stared at her short arms and legs, lost in thought...

Trying to figure out which direction the tangyou baba she'd just smelled was in!

“Want some? I'll buy you some!”

“This Jiujiu is nine thousand years old. I don't take handouts!”

“Just help me out and keep me company while I eat. Your share is your payment!”

“Fine. I'll save you after I finish eating!”

Si Mohan never imagined that he'd only bought tangyou baba for the little creature because he found the way she drooled over it amusing, and that she would show an incredible power and risk her life to save him!

From then on, a little figure was always there to protect him!

“Baba, baba...”

The little fox repaid Si Mohan for a meal of tangyou baba with one of her tails. From then on, he was the nine-thousand-year-old's “little sidekick” Baba, and the chubby puffball's forever “Daddy”!
