The legend of the Nine Tails originated in China, but no one talks about it. The Nine-tailed Fox was once the wife of Xia Yu, the first king of the Xia Dynasty.
According to wild history, when Xia Yu passed through Mount Tu to control the water, he heard a white fox singing, so he got married in Mount Tu, and really established Xia with the help of Nine Tails.
