"By the way, speaking of school return, when are you planning to go back to school?"
Mo Yiqing glanced at the dorm group chat where Lingren was spewing some nonsense. Without leaving a trace, he rolled his eyes and turned to Ah Qing beside him in bed and said, "I remember our school doesn't allow pets. When school starts, should we keep Xiaolan at the house I rent?"
"School return time, huh?"
After pondering for a moment, Ah Qing said, "I should be going back around the 24th or 25th, right? If it's too late, I'll have to fight with students from other schools for tickets..."
"As for Xiaolan, even though I'll miss him, I plan to leave him with my parents. They both adore him. Especially my dad... he's practically enshrined Xiaolan as a God of Wealth in the shrine."
"What? You're not taking me to school with you? Leaving Ansheng at home like a stay-behind child?" Ansheng looked at Ah Qing in disbelief, "You..."
"It's okay, Xiaolan. There's Mid-Autumn Festival in September, and National Day in October; I'll come back often." Seeing the little fox start to whine, Ah Qing said helplessly:
"Our school can't keep pets, and although the Animal Academy next door can, if we move him there temporarily, the little animals quickly become piglets...it's not really ideal either."
At the Animal Academy, animals can be kept, but the ones raised there tend to have a tendency of becoming pig-like.
Senior students walk by, feeding the small animals, then juniors feel sorry for them and feed them again, and then actual experiment group members and owners come to feed them once more.
Or some herbivorous animals might sneak over to the Agriculture Institute next door to munch.
Eating nine meals a day is actually putting it lightly.
If Ah Qing left Xiaolan at the Animal Academy, she genuinely worried those classmates would feed the little fox ten to twenty pounds of food a day.
With the habits of the Animal Academy students, they could definitely do something so outrageous.
"Fine, if you're not taking me, you're not taking me! It's not like Ansheng needs a ticket to board a train or plane anyway."
"A true man born in this world shouldn't have to show documents wherever he goes, right? Ansheng will book a flight to your school tomorrow night, and take a big dump on your principal's office desk!"
Ansheng snorted coldly, turned his head, and leaned against Mo Yiqing's arm, kicking Ah Qing's arm, his face full of displeasure and reluctance.
"Xiaolan, don't be mad. Come here; let me clean your ears nicely, okay?"
Ah Qing, with a face full of black lines, pressed the little fox down and began to sweet-talk and soothe it.
"Mew mew mew—"
The cotton swab moved in the ear, causing the fur on the ear to sway gently. The little fox, who had been pouting, gradually closed its eyes, showing a pleasant expression on its cheeks, and making endless whimpering sounds.
"A massage... that's something only Ah Qing can do!"
"Add two hundred more minutes for me, and deduct the money from Bai Tao's two hundred for tomorrow."
...
The next morning.
Ah Qing woke up Xiaolan to go out for a meal supplement. As for bringing the little fox to school... there's no way, it's not allowed at school.
Even if she did bring Xiaolan, renting a room especially for him doesn't feel right.
Ah Qing felt it wouldn't be good, as foxes naturally enjoy wandering around the streets. Forcing him to stay in a room would be worse than leaving him in Jiule City, where he at least has his foxy friends to play with.
"Going out for tea? Take me with you! I'll be right there after going to the restroom."
Seeing Ah Qing mention going for tea, Mo Yiqing didn't care about the discomfort in his stomach and rushed to the toilet to get rid of last night's toxins before joining in the fun.
"Are you... sure you're okay? You've been in there all night." Ah Qing looked at Momo with some concern.
"What's there to be not okay about? At worst, I'll just get an IV," Mo Yiqing scoffed.
"Even a dog would jump up scolding," Ansheng secretly muttered to himself.
"Today, I'll have my dad cover me at the tea stand for a while!"
Seeing Mo Yiqing's condition, Ah Qing couldn't help but worry and insisted on taking her to the hospital.
Ah Qing didn't plan to livestream from the tea competition scene today; she's seen all there is to stream over the past couple of days.
The tea competition is a carnival for tea farmers, merchants, enthusiasts, and local aid organizations, who wish for official tea competitions every day.
But for most, it's just a chance to enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Once you've seen the competition area and direct sales area, you've seen it all.
Unless someone's looking to start a business in this field, two days are enough to sample all the teas.
Therefore, today's plan for Ah Qing was to take the livestream audience on a tour of Pet Paradise, and also maybe take them to see some anglers.
Those anglers who sit all day with a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of water, and a fishing rod.
Ah Qing doesn't know these people, but Yu Zhenghong does!
He knows where the skunk anglers are.
Going to those places and dropping the 'Threaded Steel Fishing Master' title will surely get respect from the anglers.
Only thing is.
Between tea and livestreaming, Ah Qing thought her priority should be taking Momo to the emergency room.
"Drive your car, I'm swollen..." Mo Yiqing said, full of black lines, "I'm afraid a few bumps will make me crack."
The Hellcat, although nice, emphasizes fun more than practicality. Its suspension and seats, while better than racing bucket seats, are still quite firm.
...
Ah Qing helped Mo Yiqing out, boarded her homemade stewed fish head electric car, and set off.
But what Ansheng didn't know was that shortly after they left.
A large golden lizard peeked sneakily out of Su Qiyuan's house, perched on the fence wall, looking around the road's situation below.
Jin Wanlin glanced at Uncle Jinlong and said, a bit speechless, "Does doing this really make sense?"
"Hmph! That Master Fox is so strong; he must be doping during training. Otherwise, how could he wield that damned sledgehammer?" Uncle Jinlong muttered in displeasure, "I won't be satisfied until I find out what injections and powders that fox is using! I won't give up here!"
Jin Wanlin's mouth twitched slightly, face full of black lines.
The fungal beast issue may have been settled with Master Fox hammering it down hard, turning the parasitic beast into a mere grandson.
But the situation in Jiule City isn't over.
The poacher group sponsored by the Longevity Club still lurks within Jiule City.
Though the White Snake is dead and they can't complete their mission, these people carry weapons, making them a significant threat.
Master Fox was busy beating up the parasitic beast and forgot to take care of the poacher members as well.
"Let me see... huh?"
Uncle Jinlong, climbing up Ah Qing's fence wall to the self-built house, tried to discover the secret behind Master Fox's robust muscles.
However.
Upon entering the house, he was shocked by what he saw.
A large pitch-black cockroach was perched on a bug spray bottle, raising its hand to press the nozzle and letting the spray out.
That cockroach was enjoying itself, feasting on the insecticide from the nozzle full-faced.
"Sizzle?"
The black-bodied cockroach seemed to notice an intruder from the doorway and slowly turned around, revealing explosive muscles on its abdomen.
"Eh?" Uncle Jinlong was dumbfounded, "Damn, such a strong cockroach, what hormones is it on?"
And you say there's no doping? Your house's cockroaches are mutated!"
