"They're biological parents, so... what should I call them?"
Yu Zhenghong looked puzzled, pointed at himself, and asked Ah Qing.
"If Fuli is Master Fuli, then for Master Fuli's biological parents... should I call Fox Mother the Blessed Mother of Salvation? Fox Father the Venerable Fu Sheng of Rescue?"
Yu Zhenghong pondered deeply and asked Ah Qing about the titles he had just come up with impulsively.
The intelligence of Master Fuli is evident to all. He can charm away luxury cars starting from half a million, and later snatch back tens of thousands' worth of computers.
If Master Fuli is so effective, then the Fox Father and Fox Mother who gave birth to him must have the power to make things happen with their words.
Don't you think they deserve a thick stick of sandalwood incense, to properly show respect to the elders?
"Mom..."
Ah Qing froze for a moment and then immediately turned to the bathroom, shouting loudly.
"Hey! Why are you calling your mom!"
Yu Zhenghong interrupted Ah Qing's spell, giving Ah Qing a displeased look, and said: "I'm just trying to get an opinion from Master Fuli's parents. After all, we'll be living under the same roof as family."
"I can't just call them Fluffy or Lucky, right?"
Old Deng righteously retorted, casting a disdainful and scornful look at Ah Qing, as if to say: You don't understand.
Ah Qing came home very late last night, so Old Deng and Chen Peipei didn't see Fox Father and Fox Mother. But they heard Ah Qing mention earlier that the little fox's parents will come to Xia Dong to celebrate the New Year with the little fox.
"Hmm?"
Ah Qing was puzzled and looked at Fox Father and Fox Mother, showing a questioning expression.
Do you... have names?
"Squeak!"
Fox Mother shook her head vigorously, then naturally looked at Ah Qing and said.
"We don't have official names, but the servants in the temple usually call us Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma."
"If your dad likes that, he can follow along. I'll make sure the old monks pay him a salary."
"Ah Qing, what did the two Fu Xian say?" Yu Zhenghong continued to roll his money without stopping, but looked on with curiosity as Ah Qing engaged in conversation with the foxes.
"Nothing... nothing much, Fox Mother said they don't have official names. When living in the temple villa, the maids used to call them Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma."
"Fox Mother said, if you want, you can learn from the maids and call them Great-Grandma."
Ah Qing translated for his dad, but as soon as he said it, Yu Zhenghong, seated at the tea table on the sofa, froze up completely, staring at the three foxes and him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Temple? Villa? Maids?"
"Yeah, Fox Father and Fox Mother seem to be Sacred Beasts. The Ancient Temple allocated land to build them a courtyard for deep meditation, with two shifts of maids."
"...." Yu Zhenghong was deep in thought, wondering if he had stumbled upon some great fortune.
Otherwise, why does everything he worships become so effective?
"Dad, let's talk later. I need to take the little fox to my cousin's place to become Great-Grandpa..."
"I'm afraid if I'm late, it'll delay the auspicious timing."
While Yu Zhenghong was contemplating, Ah Qing was already at the door changing shoes, holding the little fox out the door, and hopped onto the family's car named "Chopped Pepper Fish Head."
With the endurance of "Chopped Pepper Fish Head," today's journey might be a bit challenging.
But the old pickup was a manual, and Ah Qing really found it difficult to drive.
"Xiaolan, come cast a spell. Let's see the mystic power of the electric car from the Mystic Sect!"
Ah Qing sat in the driver's seat, eyes sparkling as she looked at the sleepy little fox.
"...Without range anxiety, does this car really have essence?"
Ansheng yawned, raised his paw, and touched the "Chopped Pepper Fish Head's" steering wheel, spreading assimilation.
The original two-seater small electric car had its co-driver's seat gradually dissolve into the floor, increasing cabin space so that the three foxes can move around inside.
The speedometer's numbers also changed from an initial speed of a hundred to a maximum of three hundred.
Ah Qing stepped on the accelerator, and for the first time, experienced the ultimate thrust on her family's "Chopped Pepper Fish Head."
"Squeak..." An electric motor whined, and "Chopped Pepper Fish Head" entered into autopilot mode, speeding towards the outskirts of the village.
Once at the city center, "Chopped Pepper Fish Head" turned and headed towards the West Lake Villa District.
"Huh?"
Upon entering the West Lake District, Ansheng sensed something and looked out the window towards a convenience store, showing a face of surprise and called to Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, I seem to see your grandfather loitering on the street..."
"Grandfather?"
Ah Qing was taken aback, following the direction the little fox pointed.
She saw, at five in the morning, in front of a convenience store, a burly middle-aged man in a riding jacket, about forty to fifty years old with salt-and-pepper hair, holding a plastic bag and standing by the trash can, lighting a cigarette with joy.
Beside the street, a row of motorcycles were parked, with exhaust pipes faintly steaming.
Although the facial wrinkles had disappeared, the middle-aged man was obviously Chen Yang, Ah Qing's grandfather...
"Hiss..." Ah Qing's eyes widened and took a deep breath, saying to the little fox: "Grandpa... still rides motorcycles?"
"Your grandfather's retirement life is quite wild." Ansheng said with a full face of glee.
Due to being tens of meters away, Ah Qing couldn't hear the laughter over there, but Ansheng could hear clearly.
Ah Qing's grandfather participated in a mountain race last night, competing with a team from the neighboring city, seemingly winning a lot of money for living expenses.
Chen Yang returned with a major victory, celebrating with team friends serving drinks and even bought hundred-yuan cigarettes called Tian Ye.
"...Grandpa's hobbies are quite dangerous! Almost ninety years old and still riding in a metal cage."
Ah Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, feeling apprehensive about the reliability of motorcycles.
Momo's friend lost a basket due to a motorcycle accident, almost leading to a complete mishap, was fresh in her mind.
But as the red light turned green, with the car behind constantly honking, Ah Qing withdrew her gaze, intending to talk to her grandfather about safety during dinner.
Once inside the West Lake Villa, Ah Qing followed the navigation address given by Lin Ying to the depths of the villa area, and saw the brightly lit villa of Lin Kui.
Lin Kui's villa was nothing special, it was simply a villa with a huge vacuum fish tank.
"Xiaolan... The atmosphere inside feels a bit odd!" Ah Qing had just gotten out of the car and saw people in cream-colored long garments with red vests and red gold pleated skirts, seemingly part of the bridesmaids group, standing in the courtyard.
Their faces were solemn, looking forward as an older woman in a qipao lectured them with a bee microphone.
"Do the job for the pay! Rules, principles, ethics. Ensure the best experience for the employer, got it? If the bride or groom is dissatisfied, the daily salary of eight thousand turns to eight hundred!"
Ah Qing showed a curious expression, sidestepping the strange group of forty to fifty bridesmaids, making her way to the villa.
Just as she was about to walk through the villa courtyard, surprised voices came from inside.
"Great-Grandpa, Ah Qing, you're here..."
Lin Kui, dressed in a wedding gown with black hair draped over her shoulders, ran out from inside, smiled as she greeted Ansheng and Ah Qing: "Quick, come inside and have a seat."
"I saw you from the second floor just now, and immediately came out to greet Great-Grandpa..."
"Sister Kui, who are those..." With three foxes in her arms, Ah Qing was led into the house by Lin Kui while asking about the charging bridesmaids in the courtyard.
"Oh, you're talking about those bridesmaids!"
"My family has a bit of money, and all my friends happen to be either wealthy ladies or people with ulterior motives. I don't want any mishaps or discontent during the most important moment of my life..."
"Rather than owing favors or taking risks, I prefer hiring a professional bridesmaids group to keep the atmosphere lively."
Lin Kui said with a matter-of-fact tone, sharing her innermost thoughts.
"Avoid having people whispering in your ear all day long."
