Fox Has No Malicious Intent

[Streamer, streamer, my fox seems to play dead every time it takes a bath. The problem is, I only bathe it twice a year...]

[Streamer, I love small animals, and that's why I studied veterinary science. But... when small animals see me, they tremble. Is there a way to improve this?]

After streaming the spectacle at the Fox Immortal Temple, Ah Qing's livestream naturally shifted to the occult and pet care Q&A session.

Lines of comments scrolled across the screen, leaving Ah Qing overwhelmed.

"A fox doesn't like to bathe and plays dead during bath time?" Ah Qing saw the comment and looked at Xiaolan with a puzzled expression.

"Are there... foxes that don't like bathing?"

"If you bathe them less, as long as they don't get stressed, then washing five or six times a day guarantees desensitization..." Ansheng confidently gave advice, but the commenter soon added a crucial piece of information.

[I'm currently studying abroad in Ahmei, and my little baby at home is a Fennec Fox...]

"...Get a turkey leg and smack it into the Fennec Fox's bowl! Make sure it clangs!"

After reading the comment, Ansheng couldn't help but roll his eyes dramatically, letting out a sharp sound.

What kind of fox is a Fennec Fox?

Generations have lived in the desert; eight generations of ancestors never even saw a bath basin. If you bring a tub of water, the Fennec Fox thinks an apocalyptic flood is catching up.

If it doesn't scratch you a few times, that buddy definitely counts as a moral role model in the fox community. Give it some bath sand, and the Fennec Fox will jump in and scrub itself with its paws.

"I know the vet's problem!"

"I've encountered it at the Agricultural Research Institute. Because you work at an animal hospital, you've been tainted with the pheromones that pets secrete when scared. Other small animals, when they smell those scents, think you're a murderer."

Ah Qing translated the fox's chatter and concurrently solved the vet friend's puzzle.

The vet's workplace probably often deals with large carnivorous animals.

Being able to make those big fellas cry, if other small animals aren't directly scared to death, they're already quite brave.

At the School of Animal Science, such cases are occasionally seen. Ever since the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord resided there, any time it used the dormitory ladies' restroom, the animals in the School of Animal Science skulked around the dormitory, tiptoeing in fear.

Afraid to awaken the tigress in the dormitory.

[Miracle Doctor! After I sprayed weed killer, the cats in the cat café all came to rub against my feet... So satisfying!]

"Glad it helped you..." Ah Qing smiled and responded to the comment, then glanced at the village road and said:

"The Fox Half-Immortal's consultation session is over! Xiaolan has to attend a meeting tonight, so see you tomorrow night."

While answering audience questions, she unknowingly walked out of the Fox Immortal Temple and was near Lin Ying's family.

Ah Qing knew Huhu had business tonight, so she ended the consultation stream early.

"I need to go home to tidy up, remember to come back early and don't wander off, got it?"

"It's holiday season, and many unfamiliar dogs and other exotic pets have come to the village, be careful of them ambushing you!"

Ah Qing put the little fox down, tapped Huhu's nose with her fingertip, and reminded it.

"I'm just at Lin Ying's house, having a meeting with Shasha. Remember to leave a gap on the windowsill for me..."

Affectionately interacting with Ah Qing briefly, Ansheng turned and ran towards Lin Ying's family, not forgetting to turn back and seriously remind Ah Qing.

Ah Qing would definitely leave the door open, but Ansheng was wary of Old Deng and Chen Peipei.

Who knows if they'd think that having the window open in winter lets in cold wind and would thus close it.

"Welcome, Master Fuli..."

Ansheng humming a tune, arrived at his exclusive front door, lifted his little fox face, and the smart lock system issued a welcoming sound to open the door.

Walking past the garden and swimming pool, Ansheng wiped his feet on the door mat and pushed against the sliding door.

"Master Fuli is here? In the kitchen, salmon's being sliced to prepare for midnight snacks..."

Shasha lounged on the living room sofa, wearing Lin Ying's nightgown which seemed perfectly fitting, legs crossed on the sofa, surrounded by empty snack bags, while the TV in front continued playing an unknown documentary.

"Hmm? Where's Lin Ying and the others?"

Curiously gazing around the house, Ansheng asked Shasha.

Even nearing ten-thirty at night, no matter how busy, work should be done, right?

"Seems like attending some commercial banquet? I just heard the maid mention briefly about the Aerial Iron Riders gear being updated by the low-altitude economic development and security bureau."

Shasha shrugged and said: "All I understand is, Lin Ying went out to eat and forgot about us."

Jiule City, thanks to Master Fuli and the Spirit Beast Gang, has now been designated a Spirit Particle Experimental City.

Some new equipment and certain regulations will be implemented and validated in Jiule City before gradually promoting them nationwide. If any accidents or harmful loopholes arise...

Master Fuli and the Spirit Beast Gang can be the first to exploit the flaws of conniving merchants.

The development of Aerial Iron Riders originated from the Lin Ying Company, hence her participation in the security bureau's new equipment installation ceremony.

In the evening, Lin Ying, under the title of Xia Dong Commerce Association chairperson, hosted a banquet mainly to support policies promoting low-altitude economic development.

Lin Ying's work isn't particularly busy, yet plenty of tasks require her presence or leading role.

"Hmm... since Lin Ying isn't available, that's that. I thought we'd eat midnight snacks together tonight."

After listening to Shasha, Ansheng understood what Lin Ying was busy with, sighing deeply, strangely feeling a sense of an "empty nest little fox" vibe.

"Did you bring everything? I plan on loading the new version of the Life Blueprint today..."

Ansheng called out to Shasha, entering the sunny room on the second floor.

"Everything's naturally with me..."

Upon hearing this, Shasha reached out, rummaging around her chest briefly, pulling out a sealed vial.

"...." Seeing this, a few lines appeared on Ansheng's face:

"Is that... some sort of Hundred Treasures Pouch?"

"What can I do! Humans' clothing designs are strange, either having no pockets or pockets so shallow they're practically useless..."

"Thinking it over, it's safest here." Upon hearing this, Shasha couldn't help but grumble.

Shasha dared not store such crucial items as perfect cells in a backpack, but instead carried them on her person.

Yet women's clothing often lacks pockets. Initially, Shasha considered having her stomach as a storage spot.

However, fearing Master Fuli's cleanliness, she discarded the theoretically safest but most likely to provoke anger option.

"..."

Ansheng sketched with suspicion at Shasha's chest for a good moment, retrieving his gaze, feeling like she might whip out a box of snacks from within at any moment.

"Forget it, I won't watch. Teach me how to merge the perfect cells, will you?"

"Once the Life Blueprint System is updated, I'll get the security bureau to boost your performance and share any... treasures I recently found with you."

"Treasures..." Shasha responded without fully grasping Master Fuli's implication. But after reconsideration, she widened her eyes in stunned surprise:

"You... found Lord Miracle's legacy?"

"In a sense, that shouldn't be categorized as property." Ansheng remarked with a nuanced expression.

"Ah? Then... what else could it be?"

"Maybe your Great-Grandma or Great-Grandpa?"
