Chapter 284: I’m Not That Kind of Fox. I Can Slightly Forgive You. Tonight, I’ll Continue Keeping You Company…
“d*mn human, finally you’ve shown your true colors! You actually fooled me into sleeping in your bedroom, and then… and then you did that… d*mn you, you b*stard! You don’t even spare a fox like me! Beastly, no—you’re worse than a beast!”
Xiao Jiu was angrily accusing Bai Feng of his deeds.
“First of all, I’m not a Furry Fanatic,” Bai Feng said, not letting go of Xiao Jiu’s tail. He was petting it while explaining, “I’m only interested in your tail.”
“Second,” he continued, “I was sleeping in a different room last night. I only came here to wake you up.”
“Do you think I’ll believe that?” Xiao Jiu’s anger didn’t waver at all. That human was just too infuriating. He kept defending himself while still holding her tail. “And quickly let go of my tail!”
“No way! You stole my bed last night, so I think I should get some rent,” Bai Feng said, still playing with her tail.
“d*mn human! I—”
Before Xiao Jiu finished, Bai Feng suddenly pulled out three packs of fox food.
“Three packs of fox food.”
“Are you insulting me?”
Xiao Jiu’s body started trembling. This guy was trying to dominate her, and now he wanted to stuff her mouth with three packs of fox food? What kind of fox did he take her for?
“Then five packs?” Bai Feng asked, trying to increase the price.
Xiao Jiu’s trembling stopped. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “I’m not that kind of fox. I am a noble nine-tailed fox!”
“Ten packs?”
Xiao Jiu’s face suddenly looked conflicted. She turned her head slightly and whispered, “…For your sake before, I can forgive you a little.”
“Twenty packs.”
“Ahem! According to what I’ve observed before, you’re probably not that kind of person. Tonight was just a misunderstanding!” Xiao Jiu coughed hurriedly, switching faces faster than flipping a book.
Although she could now shut Xiao Jiu’s mouth, Bai Feng was curious—just how far could he push before she replied? So he kept asking, “What about fifty packs?”
Xiao Jiu suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, she raised her head and said with a righteous look: “Tonight, I’ll continue to sleep with you.”
“…”
So, your moral integrity is worth fifty packs of fox food?
Bai Feng shook his head and decided not to ‘pressure’ Xiao Jiu further: “Forget it. No need for the sleep; let’s settle for twenty packs.”
“W-Why?! That’s a noble nine-tailed fox’s sleeping service! I wouldn’t agree with anyone else!”
“No, I don’t need you to sleep with me.”
“Come on, just think about it~~ My tail really feels very comfortable!” Xiao Jiu said while stretching her tail out, almost wrapping Bai Feng entirely. “Look, I can even enlarge my tail. Anyway, think about it!!”
“Hm…” Bai Feng lying in her fluffy, warm fox tail had to admit—it was really comfortable. “That’s pretty nice. I might consider it.”
Xiao Jiu immediately pressed on: “See, see! For only fifty packs of fox food, you can enjoy this service!”
“But just for one night, that’s still too expensive,” Bai Feng thought for a few seconds, shaking his head regretfully.
“Then… three days! Plus a nap service, how about that?”
“Still a bit pricey.”
Xiao Jiu hesitated a few moments before her face showed a pained expression: “Ugh… five days, really can’t do more!”
“Seven days. And I’ll throw in your favorite fizzly bubbly juice and all sorts of snacks.”
“Uh… well…” Xiao Jiu’s face scrunched in dilemma, just then Bai Feng suddenly tore open a pack of fox food. Its fragrance wafted straight into her nose, causing her stomach to growl loudly.
She swallowed her saliva and closed her eyes: “Deal!”
Bai Feng smiled and nodded: “Good. But to prevent you from backing out, I’ll give you the fifty packs in installments, okay?”
“Yeah, yeah, no problem.”
Xiao Jiu was now completely lost in the aroma of fox food. All she could think about was eating it immediately and happily.
“Here you go.”
Bai Feng chuckled and handed the fox food over. Xiao Jiu couldn’t wait, diving straight in to gobble up her prize.
……
“Eh? Did Little Sister pass?”
Shui Miao Miao quickly cheered up. The faint glow from the Transmission Land had already faded, and a petite figure appeared in the center of it.
She had a pair of long dragon horns, red eyes, and a few dragon scales showing beneath her eyes. Though not large, she radiated an aura of dignity that made people want to bow before her.
“Whoa…”
Shui Miao Miao whispered in awe—sure enough, her guess was correct: Little Sister was definitely more suited to be the Empress of Eastern Continent.
She hadn’t expected that the array master was actually her little sister in disguise, nor did she know where her little sister learned her array techniques.
Once she found out the array master was her little sister, the two worked together to conquer the secret realm and inheritance. Unfortunately, her own strength was lacking, and her mindset was a bit off, leading her to fail at the final trial.
But she wasn’t too disappointed. She’d always known herself well. Participating in the inheritance trial was mostly out of curiosity and maybe a bit of luck.
After failing, she pinned her hopes on her little sister. She even took out her last meatball to help her—though she didn’t dare reveal Bai Feng’s involvement, just told her little sister it was obtained from the secret realm.
Her little sister didn’t let her down, smoothly passing the inheritance exam. She could already imagine her future, shedding her crown and going to find Senior Brother Bai… cough cough!
‘Little Sister is still here. Brain, be good—don’t even think about it!’
She reached out and tapped her head to interrupt her own daydream.
At this moment, the girl at the center of the inheritance land had her eyes return to their original look, and her long dragon horns disappeared.
A faint smile appeared on her face. She quickly walked over to Shui Miao Miao and said, “Thank you, Sixth Sister.”
“It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t even pass the inheritance test,” Shui Miao Miao quickly waved her hands.
The girl shook her head: “But it was the white meatball Sixth Sister gave me that helped me refine my bloodline, so I could pass smoothly.”
At the same time, she was a bit puzzled—this meatball’s scent seemed to be exactly the same as what she smelled on their teacher. No, it was identical. And since Sixth Sister had a very good relationship with the teacher, she thought these white meatballs probably weren’t from the secret realm at all, but made by the teacher.
But she didn’t ask. The effect of these meatballs was just too incredible. For the safety of their teacher, it was better to keep this secret within herself.
“No choice. After all, you are my little sister!” Shui Miao Miao first smiled, then reached out and grabbed the girl’s shoulder, serious as ever: “Little Sister, if you really want to thank me, then improve your cultivation, beat the Black Dragon Chancellor, and replace me as the Empress of Eastern Continent.”
“…Ah, okay.”
The girl’s lips twitched slightly. Like her other siblings, she obviously yearned for that throne. Why did Sixth Sister seem so reluctant?
“Alright, you better disguise yourself quickly, then let’s leave. I’ll protect you for a while. Don’t forget our promise.”
