[Master Fox, please bless me. I hope Brother Ming can quickly go to prison and retire. He’s already been sentenced once, if he goes to prison again, he can retire and live easily. I really hope Brother Ming can make 20,000 dollars in one run! — The crew member, watching Master Fox sailing on the river, looked at him with hope, wishing for a promotion and a raise.]
[Wish Fulfilled: Promotion and Raise.]
A wish flashed through Ansheng’s mind, but before he finished reading it, another one popped up.
[Matsu, hear my prayer; Master Fox, please bless me. I don’t have big ambitions, I just hope to run a few more tax-free ships, then wash my hands and go back home to build a big house! — The ship owner Ah Ming smoked while looking at the river, his head full of thoughts about Master Fox.]
[Wish Fulfilled: Never Get Imprisoned, or Master Fox Bails Me Out.]
"........"
Ansheng wore a subtle expression, glancing at the two freshly appeared wishes, not knowing what to say.
Do you want me to fish people out from the Public Security Bureau?
Do I look like a citizen to you? When you break the law, it’s under the jurisdiction of criminal law and public security regulations. But when us little foxes commit crimes, we are governed by the Wildlife Law.
We have different laws for sentencing. How do you expect me to fish someone out from the Public Security Bureau?
......
"Woof woof woof——"
The dogs joyfully frolicked on the speedboat, while the little fox stood on the dashboard steering, explaining the points about the speedboat to Tu Song Ah Bai, who was listening with full concentration.
With the recent experience of double-crossing, Ah Bai seemed to see a point of profit growth, eager to learn frame by frame.
As the time approached two o’clock, Tu Song Ah Bai whined softly, feeling a bit embarrassed, and looked towards the little fox with a whimper.
Bro... we should wash up and head home, or else, if the master wakes up and doesn’t see me, I won’t be able to explain.
"Do you usually only stroll for two hours?" the little fox asked Ah Bai.
"Ooh....." Tu Song Ah Bai whimpered twice in response, starting to explain to the little fox.
After they’re full, they usually stroll around the nearby area and then head back home after a bath.
If they often don’t return overnight, they’d be grounded and won’t be able to come out to play in the future.
A day of wild play is a one-time experience, whereas being able to come out and play every day in the future is well clarified by the dogs.
"Good dogs by day, wolves by night, huh?" Ansheng couldn’t help but comment.
Tu Song Ah Bai nodded as if it was natural. It’s not a stray dog, so naturally, there needs to be time management.
"Then let’s head back!"
"But..... what about this guy?" Ansheng’s gaze shifted down from the dashboard to the freaky fish lying in the cabin, looking pensive.
"Forget it... Let’s beat up the scumbag fish first, then ask Lin Ying and Chen Zhiyu if they want it, if so, we’ll drive a cold chain truck back and keep it as an ornamental fish."
Not being able to think it through and without gaining any Wish Power points from the freaky fish, Ansheng called Ah Bai and the other dogs to drag the freaky fish into the shady corner of the pier.
Then...
The dogs vented their grievances and enmities, unleashing a stream on the freaky fish’s face, waking it up.
"Whee whee whee!"
The little fox opened its mouth and forcibly plucked out more than a dozen incredibly hard scales from the freaky fish.
Compared to the nine-meter-long fish, the absence of more than a dozen scales seemed negligible on its body.
Although Ansheng didn’t know what kind of fish it was, its overall appearance resembled a Jin Long fish or silver dragon fish.
Its scales can even resist a speedboat collision, bringing them back as a souvenir for Lin Ying should be great.
"Gah gah..."
The freaky fish, who had been beaten up by the dog pack, no longer had any teasing looks in its eyes, only regret, and deep regret...
Why could land animals in the water move faster than itself, a water creature?
Even though it was awake now, the freaky fish still felt a faint pain in its head and cheeks.
"Whee whee whee!"
With a high-and-mighty attitude, Ansheng walked in front of the scumbag fish, lifted his hind leg slowly and steadily, to return the favor.
"Woof~"
After dealing with the scumbag fish, the dogs greeted each other and then went their separate ways.
With the departure of the dogs, Tu Song Ah Bai’s long wolf snout gradually shortened, transforming back into the stocky build of a long-haired Tu Song similar to a White Wolf.
The straight wagging tail became curly again.
"Woof——"
Tu Song Ah Bai called to the little fox.
"Don’t be ridiculous, expecting me to help you get home...."
Upon hearing Tu Song Ah Bai’s words, three black lines appeared on Ansheng’s little fox face.
Ah Bai said it was a bit too full, worried about making noise on the way back home and asked the fox for a favor.
"Woof——"
Tu Song Ah Bai walked ahead, calling out to the fox holding a plastic bag, motioning towards the market, telling him not to say those words again, or else the owner might wake up soon.
Ansheng helplessly did a favor, throwing the chubby milk-white Tu Song into the second-floor window.
"Oooh——"
Back home, Tu Song Ah Bai turned his head, lying on the windowsill and whimpering at the little fox, clearly very happy, even sticking his tongue out.
Let’s hang out again another day, Brother Fox. In the future, if you need anything in Jiule City, just say the word. We have many wandering brothers in the city.
If anyone disrespects Brother Fox, I’ll have the vagrant brothers take care of them directly!
"Eh?"
Ansheng was initially unimpressed but then recalled his home was in Changxi Town, while the seafood market was in another area of Jiule City, and Tu Song Ah Bai could pass a message over a distance of thirty or forty kilometers.
Perhaps...
Tu Song Ah Bai wasn’t bluffing; he really had many subordinates on the streets.
"Alright! Old Chen always slanders me for mixing with the wrong crowd; I’ll bring him to the seafood market another day to see the scene of the Woof Woof Brigade having a meeting and let him see what real street smarts are."
"My brothers are truly all over the city." Ansheng quipped and started moving, holding a plastic bag towards Lin Ying’s business car.
Ansheng raised his paw and lightly tapped on the car door.
Lin Ying, seated inside, opened the car door, and Ansheng climbed in with the plastic bag and picked up the phone:
[Brought you some local specialties. Just ran into a freaky fish in the river with a really hard head, it could even withstand a speedboat collision at 200 km/h.]
[The fish should still be at the pier, do you want it?]
"A speedboat collision at 200 km/h?" Lin Ying read the words on the screen, slightly stunned, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Fox, speedboat, collision..... How can these words possibly be combined?
Was Master Fox on a stroll with friends, witnessing a battle between fishermen and spirit beasts in the river?
Lin Ying gently shook her head and said, "I currently have no interest in spirit beasts..."
"By the way, Master Fox, do you need some snacks after your walk? We are currently on the famous seafood street."
[Then... buy me some, I eat cooked food.] Ansheng thought for a moment and wrote, then pushed the plastic bag containing the fish scales towards Lin Ying.
Lin Ying was momentarily startled, then opened the thick black plastic bag used for seafood and took out a fish scale inside.
The fish scale was enormous, especially the scales on the tail of the freaky fish, which were the largest on its entire body.
The fish scale Lin Ying pulled out was big enough to use as a small blanket.
Looking at the black base with red borders, Lin Ying couldn’t help but murmur, "This fish... is really huge! How did you catch it, Master Fox?"
Lin Ying glanced at the little fox, only to see it downloading an app similar to an online sales platform and typing keywords like [electric fish machine], [new energy fishing rod], [Fish Catcher] into the search bar.
Lin Ying remained silent for a moment, feeling that the grudge between Master Fox and the freaky fish was not yet settled.
