NTFT | Volume 1.6

Having let it slide once, expecting me to do so again would be a mistake. I’m not that foolish.

“First time seeing a guy with a pussy?”

“What, what?!”

“Hey! This fucker’s awake!”

I snapped the cable ties with a surge of strength, feeling the imprints throb painfully. I didn’t want to resort to using force, but I couldn’t just sit back after being knocked out cold. That would be madness.

My patience wasn’t limitless.

“Did you bring enough cash to even look at this precious flower between my legs?”

I stood up and tore off the black bag, savoring the liberation. It felt good to shed the human disguise I had been wearing.

“What, what the hell does this guy look like?!”

They collapsed in shock, hardly able to comprehend. Just shedding my human guise had elicited such a passionate response. It was worth revealing my true form.

“Surprised because I’m too pretty? Eung?”

My true form was now exposed to human eyes. My eyes bloodied red, fangs gleaming white, hair brilliantly silver, and my nine tails fanned out like a peacock’s display.

The true form of a gumiho was unmistakable.

***

Where their earlier bravado had vanished to, I couldn’t tell, but the guys now sat crumpled on the floor, visibly scared. I looked down at them leisurely, my gaze finally settling on a certain body part as I boldly broke the silence.

“How much can you guys usually drink?”

“Drink, drink?”

“Yeah. Alcohol’s deadly to the liver, and not good for you. Oh, do you guys get regular health check-ups? A healthy body means a healthy and tasty liver.”

“Shit! What are you saying?”

Their first reaction was to curse, a clear sign they weren’t taking good care of themselves. Not that I had expected much better.

“It looks like there’s nothing special about your liver…”

I started walking towards them, each step as light as a cloud.

My toes sharpened into claws, and nine luxuriously long tails hovered behind me like Medusa’s hair, fierce and imposing.

“Don’t come any closer! You, monster!”

The fear-stricken fools sensed something sinister and began to crawl away in a desperate escape. Watching them reminded me of the days when I feasted to my heart’s content.

With a twisted joy, I relished in their distorted faces and the screams that split the air as I tore through skin to greedily devour the steaming livers.

Somehow, today seemed like a not-so-bad day to reminisce about those blood-soaked times.

It seemed only fair to personally punish the foolish humans who mocked and mistreated me, pulling out their livers in what could arguably be seen as self-defense.

With a flick of my claw, I ripped their clothes, scratching their skin and drawing blood.

“Ah! Don’t do this!”

“What just cut through me?!”

The fresh scent of spilled blood filled the air, making my mouth water. The terrified expressions of those around only spurred my appetite.

“You guys look so pitiful struggling like that. It’d be less painful if you just told me where your livers are.”

My red eyes heated up as I invoked my Gumiho’s charming powers, beguiling the humans. Their eyes met mine, and soon their pupils dilated with a red ring as their awareness faded.

“My liver is here. Please, enjoy it.”

The charmed man knelt down, ripping open his shirt to expose his belly. Though not the finest specimen, his young, fresh body smelled appetizing.

“So, there’s the liver. Tough guys, huh? You know exactly where it is.”

I swayed my tails as I inspected the exposed abdomen. Even through the skin, I could see exactly where the liver lay.

Gulping,

“This is going to be tasty.”

It had been a while since I felt such a craving.

I’ve been idly sipping strawberry milk for too long, missing the brutally delicious scent of human liver.

I want to eat.

Filling my mouth, grinding it between my teeth,

I need a human liver.

My parched rationality melted sweetly away, focusing all nerves on the liver. My nine tails gently wrapped around the humans, their tongues delicately tasting their bodies.

“Wow, this gives me the creeps. From your actions, I didn’t realize you weren’t biologically human, pretty one.”

Startled?!

This voice…

“You suspicious from the waist down, and what do I find? A proper fox, a liver-eating Gumiho.”

My tails bristled and lunged towards the source of the voice, yet he just looked on with interest, unblinking, as my menacingly sharp tails hovered in front of him. At their tips was the despicable creep behind the kidnapping.

“A midwinter horror special seems out of season. But, I must say, your tails are quite soft like a fox scarf.”

Perfect timing. Mi Hong approached the man with a light step. The nine tails, each with their own will, moved freely around him, interested in the newcomer.

He smiled leisurely, showing no aversion as he let my tails explore him. They brushed against his cheeks, neck, shoulders, and back, binding his upper body.

“Just when I was about to dine… looks like I’ve got three courses now.”

Being found out didn’t bother him. After all, eating them and burning the bodies would turn everything to dust.

“Three courses alone? Aren’t you quite the glutton? Planning on eating those other two as well?”

He casually glanced at the two behind him, still obediently exposing their bellies, and scoffed.

“They’re practically begging to be eaten first, so how can I refuse? I don’t turn away those who come or go.”

With the third tail, he stroked his chin, lightly fluttering his tails. Then, with a low laugh, he slipped his left hand into his pants pocket, leaning slightly.

“I thought it would be about quality, not quantity. But, cheap is what your mouth is.”

“What?”

“You should eat better. Living on strawberry milk all the time, your taste is just as cheap.”

His eyes held no fear, only annoyance and sharp ferocity.

“To think I’d be considered equal to such lowlifes. Disappointing, isn’t it, pretty one? That I’d be valued so lowly. It actually hurts my heart.”

He spoke with a clumsy expression, poking his left chest without restraint. Watching him, I couldn’t help but let out a disdainful laugh.

“Your liver must be flowing with truffle oil, maybe topped with caviar, right? Once split open, all livers look the same. It’d be hard to tell whose is whose. There’s nothing particularly special about your liver. Just eat it and enjoy.”

The best way to enjoy a liver was to tear it out hot and fresh.

I’ve been starving for a long time. This was a good opportunity to fill up generously. The livers of three humans would be enough to keep me well-fed for months.

Despite what he might say about my tastes, I considered myself quite the gourmand and epicure.

Three human livers were a small amount compared to the past.

“So, you’re definitely a Gumiho. Talking openly about eating livers, huh?”

“So? Did you think you were watching some CG or VR experience? You’re not that mindless, I hope. For what you seem to be worth.”

“Face value? Oh, how do you see me. Younger than you thought? I look young, don’t I?”

“You?”

That was the funniest thing I’d heard in the conversation. Whether it was the clothes or hairstyle, at least he looked like he was in his mid-thirties in human years.

Not an ugly face, but not particularly young-looking either.

Especially compared to my several hundred-year-old face, he looked significantly older. What kind of maintenance does he do? Not even a face mask or spa. Clearly, he doesn’t take care of himself.

“Don’t make me laugh. Do you even apply lotion in the morning? Or maybe just smearing dirt would be more your speed.”

I snickered at him, and his eyebrows twitched, soon adopting a slanted stance.

“I don’t like how you’ve been scratching at my pride. What do you think about that, pretty one?”

“Why are you asking me? Do you think I care about your feelings? Maybe your head’s really just a flowerbed? Don’t you understand the situation you’re in?”

My tails approached his shirt, lightly touching the body hidden by the black fabric as if examining his liver. But his body was not bad at all.

It was clear from the way my tails sampled his body that he wasn’t just spouting nonsense.

‘For a human, he’s got quite a decent body.’

A far cry from the other two, his body was top-notch.

Hidden under his clothes was a body sculpted over a long period, apparent even from a brief touch.

His natural physique boasted high-quality muscles, toughened from living a wild life of survival of the fittest, where muscle fibers tore and regenerated through harsh fights, hardening like stone. It was a flawlessly constructed body.

He was clearly different from the humans I had encountered before.

Not just content with his natural gifts, he had built his body into a solid mass of confidence that was not merely boastful.

“Quite passionate eyes you’ve got there. Since earlier, these tails have been playfully teasing. If you want this body so badly, shall I let you have a taste?”

He pulled his hand from his pants pocket and reached for the buttons on his shirt, slowly unbuttoning it down to his chest.

His solidly built muscles were clearly visible.

With each breath, his muscles pulsed, emitting a strong male pheromone.

“Does this look like a meal ready to be devoured?”

“You didn’t have to set the table with such care. I quite like gobbling things down.”

As his shirt opened, my tails entered, playing over his muscles like playing a piano, delighting in the sensation.

“Hmm…”

It was a body too good to just gulp down in one bite. With such a physique, I couldn’t help but wonder what else he was packing below. It was hard not to be curious.

“Since we’ve got a packed lunch now. I’d like to leisurely enjoy your liver after letting it mature a bit. How about that? A little mercy from me.”

“That’s unexpected. I thought you’d pounce and gobble me up right away. It would suit you well, pretty one.”

“Stop bluffing. This human riff-raff.”

My ninth tail wrapped around his neck like an anaconda, tightening around him.

Yet, his expression didn’t change as he gripped the coiling tail. Surprisingly, it was I who flinched from his strength.

“I hate bickering. I only played along because you’re special, pretty one. Maybe it’s time to end this trivial game.”

It was an unbelievable strength. I had felt a strong force even in the car, but this was overpowering. How could a human possess such strength?

This was impossible. I quickly retracted all my tails and showed strong wariness towards him. But his hand snapped forward like a whip, quickly grasping my neck.

“Choke! You, this… dog… shit! Uh!”

“Pretty one. Half-and-half face, decent body, and something special below, it must have been quite enjoyable to feel like the world is between your thighs, huh? Now, how about crying and staying under my crotch? I’ll pay you handsomely. You like money, don’t you?”

“Ugh! You this! Shit! Arm! Ah?!”

Overwhelmed by the force choking my neck, I momentarily halted my power. The two men under the charm spell collapsed, regaining consciousness and falling.

Slightly panicked, I reached out to escape his grip. However, all I could grasp was his leisurely smile, causing me to pause and then suddenly spin around, slamming my head against the wall.

“Don’t you know where this is? This is the VIP room of ‘Medusa’ that I run. I wanted the first time at least to be in my penthouse, but now I’m a bit rushed.”

“You! This, uh! Ugh!”

A threatening bulk was felt beyond his hips, sending a shiver up my spine as my tails puffed up.

“It’s still damp down there. I could just put it in.”

“Shit! Just try it! I’ll kill you!”

“That’s an exciting thought. How about you drown in pleasure with your promiscuous pussy to the point of death? Then I’ll pay you every time I come. Of course, considering you’re a Gumiho, I can also provide livers.”

“What?”

“Money and livers to offer. So, you’ll spread your thighs for me whenever I want, no matter the place.”

Gently enveloping my choked neck, he bit my earlobe painfully.

This damned lawbreaker, what did he just propose to me?

Money and livers?

Ha, this bastard.
