The male supporting character was actually myself.

"I see." He smiled slightly, stopping the little white cat from finding tools to stop the bleeding and treat its wounds.

Once the two form a bond, under the protagonist's halo, Ye Xuan can draw power from the Nine-Tailed Fox if he harms him, until he drains the Nine-Tailed Fox dry; and if Ye Xuan dies unexpectedly, the Nine-Tailed Fox's golden core will suffer fatal damage due to the bond.

Unable to resist the protagonist's halo, Jiang Chen unleashed his ultimate move—taking advantage of Ye Xuan's tearing and absorbing the power of the golden core, he forcibly severed the connection with the golden core within his own body, forcing it out.

"The golden core of a ten-thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox!"

A huge golden core, as bright as the sun, flew out of Jiang Chen's body. Ye Xuan was overjoyed and rushed forward, wanting to swallow it in one gulp!

Having lost its nine tails and golden core, the ten-thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox is nothing but a useless shell, barely clinging to life for long; there's no need to linger in battle. Obtaining its golden core will grant me its full power, at which point dominating the demon race will be my for the taking!

"Jiang Chen!"

In the instant the unexpected happened, Yan Mingyue followed Jiang Chen's instructions to put on her equipment. When she rushed back as fast as she could, she saw this scene and was filled with rage. Her almond-shaped eyes glared, wishing she could tear Ye Xuan to pieces.

The golden core spun rapidly as it left the body, quickly merging into the fallen nine-tailed fox. Then, with a soft sound, both disappeared.

"Ye Xuan, I'll kill you!" Seeing Jiang Chen fall into a pool of blood, his life hanging in the balance, Yan Mingyue picked up the demon-hunting machine gun that the little white cat had prepared and started firing at the white fox.

She had only one thought in her mind—to kill Ye Xuan, extract his demon core, and feed it to Jiang Chen. As long as he had enough demonic energy to nourish him, he would definitely get better!

Ye Xuan was surprised that someone hadn't been put into the protective shield, and even more surprised that she had a full set of demon-hunting equipment.

The combat suit she wore could isolate demonic power, so unless a physical attack using demonic power was used to move mountains and overturn seas, it couldn't hurt her in the slightest.

However, Yan Mingyue gave him no chance to retaliate. She threw a demon-catching net that fell from the sky and enveloped Ye Xuan, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Awooo! Ah! Ah!" A barrage of demon-hunting bullets pounded into his body, causing Ye Xuan to writhe on the ground in pain.

Yan Mingyue exuded a powerful spiritual energy as she stepped forward with a dagger and cleaved open the trembling body of Ye Xuan. Although it was her first time killing a demon and extracting its core, she was in a state of extreme anger and wanted to save her beloved demon, so she didn't have time to think. In less than five seconds, she dug out a huge demon core.

"Jiang Chen, how are you?" She ran over with her hands covered in blood and picked up her beloved demon from the pool of blood. Crying, she tried to shove the demon core into his mouth, "Swallow it quickly, you can still get better!"

Jiang Chen grabbed her hand and took the demon core away. He forced a smile and said weakly, "It's no use. I was fatally injured just now. In order to save my soul, I gave up my demon body. From now on, I have no demon power and can only rely on you to protect me."

"You... what did you say?" Large tears rolled down Yan Mingyue's face as she searched his body for wounds. When she discovered that Jiang Chen was clean and fair-skinned, except for being very weak, and that she had forcibly touched him, she suddenly realized what she had done and her face turned red. "You... you've turned into a human?"

"Yes, I just became human and you touched me all over and made me lose my innocence. You have to take responsibility. Mingyue, please guide me for the rest of my life."

"I will definitely protect you!" Yan Mingyue cried and laughed as she hugged him tightly.

The little white cat wiped away its tears and breathed a sigh of relief. "Host, the world of the Fallen Chosen One mission has entered a free development phase. Don't worry, I can help you if you can't beat your wife in the future!"

................................................

postscript.

The atmosphere of spring is even stronger. On Lingqiu Mountain, where various flowers are in full bloom, the sound of a flute can be faintly heard in the wind, making it feel very relaxed and pleasant.

"My lord, this is the incantation for the substitution technique that I found on the rock wall. As long as you memorize it, I can try to substitute my demonic power for yours!" The fox shadow presented the copied manual with utmost loyalty. "The demon race is already discussing relocation, and we cannot do without you, my lord!"

Having completely severed his demon core and abandoned his demon body to become human, Jiang Chen leisurely reclined on his throne, waving his hand impatiently and saying, "I've managed the demon race for so many years, can't I retire, take a break, and have a romance?"

Replacement or similar methods are useless.

I have completely chosen human form and can never turn back into a fairy.

Mingyue and the others have already gone back to negotiate with the higher-ups in human society. Once the Fairy Guild Hall is established, you will need to become the new Nine-Tailed Fox to keep those restless demons and greedy, ambitious humans in check.

I will formulate some general development directions and legal regulations; as for the specifics of management, that's your responsibility to consider.

Jiang Chen didn't take the manual. Instead, he put a pill in Fox Shadow's hand. "Do you remember what I said? Each demon can only take one pill made from a demon core in its lifetime."

This was made from Ye Xuan's inner core. If you swallow it, you will become the new Nine-Tailed Fox.

My nine tails and golden core were refined into a spatial world, which has now become the new home of the fairies. After you become the nine tails, you need to consider which type of magic you should focus on learning.

Whether humans and demons can achieve a delicate balance depends on you, Fox Shadow, you must never forget your original intentions!

Upon hearing that the master was now only in human form and could no longer become a demon with a lifespan as long as heaven, Fox Shadow felt endless sorrow in his heart. He could only kneel down and thank the master for the medicine, vowing to spend the rest of his life repaying the master for the great cause of peace that the master had accomplished with his life's demon power.

Six months later.

The Fairy Guild was officially established, and corresponding branch guilds were set up in various cities.

Fairies who do not wish to interact with humans live deep within the fairy world; those who prefer the human world undergo a series of training and assessments before being registered by the guild and entering city life.

Jiang Chen represented the demon race; Yan Mingyue represented humanity. Under the witness of high-ranking members of human society, the two sides reached an agreement on five principles for peaceful coexistence.

The Fairy Guild is recruiting humans and fairies with spiritual power. Those who pass the assessment can become peacekeepers.

Human society provides specialized training to help fairies who want to live in the city learn life skills;

The guild will provide registered fairies with a considerable amount of start-up capital;

Fairies will provide technical assistance to humans when needed. For example, when disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, torrential rains, floods, and wildfires occur, fairies skilled in magic will help humans quickly quell the disasters.

Whether it's a fairy hunting humans or a human hunting fairies, anyone who doesn't obtain the Guild's consent will become a wanted criminal jointly pursued by both worlds.

With the cooperation of Jiang Chen and Yan Mingyue, the two races finally achieved a delicate balance.

Although occasionally fairies or humans might try to cause trouble, under the new Nine-Tailed Fox's iron-fisted policies, they were completely overturned before they could even make a move.

"Phew, life is still as carefree as this." Jiang Chen lay on the balcony of the clubhouse, watching the shimmering sea. A giant fairy bear carried little fairies as they flew around, and the shadows of dragons occasionally flashed across the water. A squirrel spirit with a fluffy tail squatted on a treetop playing its flute.

Yan Mingyue nestled beside him, peeled a grape, and brought it to his lips. "This is all thanks to you. After all, it was all your demonic power that created this fairy world."

"No, half the credit goes to my wife." Jiang Chen smiled slightly as he held the beauty in his arms. "If you hadn't killed Ye Xuan in time, the Fairy Guild Hall probably wouldn't have been built so smoothly."

Let's settle down in the fairy world after we've trained a new saintess.

I specially built a secret base; you'll love it!

The little white cat shook its fur while playing the game and muttered softly, "Hmm, another mission world with a perfect ending. I can brag about it on the forum! As expected, my host is the best!"

如影随形

"Squeak!"

The door was closed, shutting out all outside noise.

The bright red candles cast a soft, ambiguous glow over the entire room.

"Please sit down." Han Ying leaned back on the couch, resting his right hand on his chin as he looked the handsome young mortal up and down.

The years I've lived through have been so long that I've almost forgotten what it felt like when I first gained consciousness, and I'm really not sure if he's the one I've been waiting for.

Jiang Chen sat down on the carved wooden chair next to the bed, looking at her with an expressionless gaze, and began to explain, "My plan..."

"Shh!" Han Ying smiled charmingly, placed her slender white index finger in front of her delicate, bright red lips, and whispered, "No need for further words, I will soon know your plan."

Having said that, she parted her red lips slightly and blew out a gentle breeze.

The red candles began to flicker, the pink gauze in the room swayed slightly, and a faint red smoke seemed to permeate the air.

"What is this?" Jiang Chen felt a slight dizziness and immediately became alert. However, the ethereal dizziness was fleeting. When he looked at the beauty lying on the couch again, everything was exactly the same as before.

Han Ying patted the bed, her soft, boneless fingers gently beckoning, "Little brother, sit over here, I have something to ask you."

When she beckoned Jiang Chen with her finger, his heart raced involuntarily, and he seemed to be somewhat mesmerized. He stood up and, in a daze, walked over and sat down next to her.

"Relax, we have plenty of time." Han Ying smiled and stood up, revealing a section of her fair and tender arm, like a lotus root, beneath her wide red brocade robe.

She placed her hands, which carried a faint fragrance, on his shoulders.

Jiang Chen, whose mind was a little dazed, suddenly realized—this was an illusion!

The little white cat that had been perched on my shoulder, constantly complaining about being afraid of ghosts, had disappeared.

When were you dragged in?

I didn't feel anything at all!

What is the Spirit King trying to do? Is he testing him?

As he was thinking, the arms that reached up brushed against his back and made him feel a little itchy, so Jiang Chen unconsciously sat up straighter.

"It's a pity that you're just a living soul, young man. I've never seen a real person or felt the sensation of a body before," Han Ying sighed softly in his ear.

The fragrance enveloped him, making him appear somewhat dazed.

Soft, delicate hands gently placed on Jiang Chen's temples, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over. He felt his body being gently pulled and pulled onto the bed.

Han Ying leaned down, pressed her snow-white forehead against the other's forehead, closed her eyes, and entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless bubbles floated in the void as she carefully observed them, pushing aside unimportant memories.

"Pop!" A bubble was popped, and Han Ying instantly stood in a spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated bedroom, where Jiang Chen was sitting at the table, writing something seriously.

She walked barefoot on the floor, feeling a touch she had never experienced before, and walked behind him to examine closely the marks left by the pen on the paper.

"Hmm, so this is your plan? It seems pretty good..."

Having quickly grasped Jiang Chen's plan to resolve the Gates of Hell, she left without lingering to find the next bubble.

"boom!"

Another one was punctured, and she stood in the center of the room, scrutinizing the face of the adult male sitting on the sofa.

It was obvious that he did not look like a young mortal; it was the same soul with two bodies.

"What are you thinking about?" Han Ying walked to his side, carefully looking at his handsome features, and bent down slightly to touch his forehead.

This is a beautiful dream.

The sky was deep blue, yet twinkled with stars, and the two sat facing each other, enveloped in a hazy, pale purple mist.

Han Ying was suddenly touched by this scene. She flew into the dream and slowly opened her eyes, only to see a handsome young man gazing into her eyes with a smile.

"What are you looking at?"

A captivating and magnetic voice rang in her ears, and Jiang Chen, cupping her cheek in her right hand, smiled faintly, "Look at you."

Her cheeks flushed for no apparent reason, and she pressed for an answer: "Does it look good?"

"nice!"

"Do you like it?" Han Ying leaned slightly, bringing the two closer together, and the light pink embroidery under the red brocade robe was faintly visible.

Looking directly into her almond-shaped eyes, Jiang Chen nodded and replied earnestly, "I like it, I like it very much!"

"Hmph!" Han Ying twisted her body and leaned back, her red brocade robe covering her graceful figure even more tightly. "Lust at first sight!"

Jiang Chen sat upright and said seriously, "I call this love at first sight. It started with your looks, I was captivated by your talent, and I remained loyal to your character. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for you out of millions of souls?"

"Really?" The blush on her cheeks turned her ears pink, and her voice involuntarily lowered. "You've been single all these years and never been attracted to anyone?"
