[Honkai: Star Rail] How Can a Doglike Half-Demon Reasonably Go Berserk at the Divine Foresight Office?

[Also known as How Can a Half-Demon Fox Spirit Prove She Isn’t a Foxian?] [Main story complete. Currently collecting ideas for extra chapters.]

[Paragraph comments are open.] [Check out my upcoming story, [Genshin Impact] The Matriarch’s Spoils, on my author page. A transmigrated matriarch heroine, paired with a Dragon Lord who becomes her spoils of war after being stranded in the desert.]

The funny version:

How can a half-demon fox spirit prove she isn’t a Foxian?

Caught red-handed by Jing Yuan in a secret room of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Yu Linglong says:

Transform, bare her teeth, argue, and charge straight into someone.

“Who the hell is a Foxian from the Xianzhou? I’m a half-demon from the Su clan of Xuanyuan Hill!”

Then she nearly kills the white-haired general, who looks like a cat, with a headbutt.

Of course, this also catches the eye of Lan, who happens to be bored on a business trip and looking at the surveillance feeds. They notice their very patient housecat of a lion has apparently died for a split second.

From then on, the Aeon of the Hunt’s happy family gains a mutated Foxian who loves charging into people and whose attacks really hurt, while the lion-cat gets tougher and tougher, until even being rammed by Hoolay can’t make him budge.

Yu Linglong, whom nobody even noticed arguing: I told you, I’m not a Foxian, I’m a half-demon!

The serious… never mind, I can’t be serious version:

After transmigrating to Japan for who knows how many years, Yu Linglong finally discovers that she’s in a world with Aika, but not Onmyoji. Then, with a tremendous bang, the Four-Soul Jewel blasts her into Fanghu Xianzhou, who knows how many worlds away.

After finally learning Japanese with the System’s help, Yu Linglong says: WTF, screw you.

Forced to become a spoil of war and adopted under the Luofu general’s watchful eye, Yu Linglong takes advantage of her demon blood boiling to legally go wild, while learning to adapt to her new world.

Fortunately, a half-demon’s lifespan is long. But that catlike general seems to be taking things a little too far.

“No way. Absolutely not. I’m not carrying you to work on my back!”

“Why not?” Jing Yuan tilts his head and pouts.

“You always carry me around by the scruff when you take me for walks!”

That’s not the same thing! All nine of Yu Linglong’s tails puff up! She absolutely, absolutely will not let this ridiculously affectionate, handsome man get the better of her! Absolutely not!

“Just eat your shrimp dumplings!”

The fox picks up a shrimp dumpling with her chopsticks and stuffs it into his mouth, then turns and runs. Jing Yuan is left sitting at the table, continuing to eat at his leisure.

Hey, it’s better not to provoke your girlfriend.

Notes:

1. The heroine first transmigrated as Aika, the child of Tamamo-no-Mae, then transmigrated a second time. In this story, Tamamo-no-Mae isn’t the big sister from Onmyoji, but a fusion with the traditional stories from next door. She combines the identities of Daji, Tamamo-no-Mae, and Queen Huayang of Ban Zu Wang, and is a white-faced, golden-furred, nine-tailed fox born at the dawn of the world.

2. From the start, she’s a spoil of war in the Battle of Fanghu. Her pairing is with Jing Yuan, and their love life is all about charging into each other. OOC warnings.

3. The heroine is the Hunt and Wind. She has an extremely laid-back attitude, and being a coward doesn’t stop her from charging into people. She has a System, and spends most of the early story in fox form, being raised by Jing Yuan.

4. The heroine constantly mistypes and goes on a mosaic-covered rampage. She doesn’t mean to, but she can’t control it. Jing Yuan will also go wild later on, due to the comparatively mild side effects of being Mara-Struck.
