"Wha...what happened?"
Suddenly, the night around the Fox Kingdom Hotel was filled with the rumbling sound like that of engineering machines, waking all the guests in the hotel. Even in the bedrooms, the panicked whimper of countless foxes could be heard.
'Wow!'
'Oh no! A fight's breaking out, run!'
'Spare us, Your Majesty!'
Ah Qing, waking up from the dream, listened to the foxes' whimpering around her and the sound of dogs barking, along with the unfamiliar roars of other animals, showing a bewildered expression.
"What's...fighting?"
Before Ah Qing could ponder, the service phone by the bed rang, and Mo Yiqing, closest to the window, instinctively answered the call.
"Hello, esteemed presidential suite guest, we're deeply sorry to disturb your rest. Here's the situation: there has been a collapse on the Fox Kingdom grounds, and it appears an ancient tomb is about to surface..."
"We specifically called to advise guests not to leave their rooms to avoid danger. The foundation of the Fox Kingdom Hotel is very solid, with no cavities underground. Please, esteemed guests, don't venture out until the archeology team, security, and firefighters arrive."
Mo Yiqing, utterly perplexed, glanced at the phone, then turned to Ah Qing lying next to him and said:
"The customer service said the rear grounds collapsed, and it seems a new ancient tomb has emerged."
"Looks like our tickets were worth it... Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to stream a live archeological site."
Ah Qing looked at Mo Yiqing with a face full of confusion.
An ancient tomb...
Did it just pop out by itself?
........
After Master Fox and Wang Ya started fighting, Qiao Yu, knowing he couldn't stop them, immediately informed the night duty staff at the Fox Kingdom Hotel and club to do whatever it took to prevent guests from snooping.
If Wang Ya's issue were exposed, Qiao Yu had no idea how cruelly his daughter would be treated.
If he hadn't started the fox breeding farm and committed these years of murderous acts, Wang Ya wouldn't have been cursed by the Fox Immortal and turned into this current malevolent form.
Upon receiving Qiao Yu's notification,
All the staff at the Fox Kingdom Hotel had a jolt in their hearts, hurriedly calling the off-duty employees, notifying all employees to come back and help.
Employees staying at the Fox Kingdom Hotel were already aware of the boss's daughter's situation with Wang Ya.
Or to put it another way,
All the working employees at the Fox Kingdom Hotel used to participate in pet smuggling, bypassing customs to sneak rare pets or protected animals into the Central Plains Region and deliver them nationwide for profit.
Although after a transition they halted past pet business, it couldn't stand being scrutinized.
If Wang Ya was exposed, it would definitely trigger a thorough investigation of the Fox Kingdom by security officers, leading to all past indiscretions being uncovered, thus exposing their hidden, illicit income.
Panic ensued.
Due to Master Fox's actions, the foxes on the villa's second floor were greatly alarmed, while both the senior and junior employees of the Fox Kingdom panicked.
......
[God bless! Miss Wang Ya's matters mustn't come to light, otherwise, our old petty problems will also be exposed! — Fox Kingdom Hotel reception staff, saying, after learning about Miss Wang Ya losing control, that nearly four hundred employees were worried about the exposure of past pet smuggling.]
[Wish fulfilled: Nothing happened.]
"What the heck is happening again, can't you see Master Fox is busy?"
Ansheng, leaping from the Fox Kingdom grounds to pursue Wang Ya in the woods, glanced at the flickering wish list and cursed upon seeing its contents.
"Fine, I was busy dealing with Wang Ya and forgot about dealing with you, right? Smuggling frozen pig trotters, graphics cards, CPUs, wheels was about enough, and you dare to smuggle foreign creatures, not afraid of biological invasion, huh?"
"Smuggling is one thing, but having the guts to wish, I'll deal with Wang Ya first and then come back to finish you off!"
After cursing, Ansheng temporarily had no time to worry about the Fox Kingdom matters.
But when he comes back later, he felt he owed it to all the agricultural practitioners to act as their righteous leader.
During his previous visits to Tea Mountain, he often got bitten on his leg by red imported fire ants, one of the invasive species.
Red fire ants are poisonous; being bitten results in days of stinging and itching, not to mention they're tough to heal, remaining itchy all the while.
Compared to smuggling graphics cards and pig trotters, these people smuggling foreign creatures were guilty of heinous crimes.
"Rumbling——"
Wang Ya, blown away by Master Fox, was deeply embedded in the mountain soil, spewing bright red blood, her carapace showing faint cracks, her human form bruised and battered as if she'd fallen from a speeding train.
After a brief stupor, Wang Ya swung her scorpion tail, struggling to climb out from the ground.
"Take my master's charge!"
Ansheng, arriving timely, saw Wang Ya in the pit struggling to raise her giant pincers and scorpion tail, clinging tightly to the pit's edge as if trying to crawl out.
Master Fox, leaping on the tree canopy, landed heavily on a large tree trunk, exerting a push with his feet, and shot off like a cannonball, waving his tail during the flight to adjust his center of gravity.
With four tails flicking, constantly shifting his center of gravity, Master Fox whirled his body turning into a flash of white light midair, enveloped with unmatched momentum, landing a heavy kick on Wang Ya's face.
"Boom——"
Wang Ya's face met Master Fox's foot; originally deep in the pit, her body sliced through the mountain dirt like a blade, carving a trench dozens of meters long.
The mountain dirt scattered, trees toppled, and fallen leaves soared skyward amidst the fierce winds.
After the kick, when Master Fox landed on the mountain, he clicked his tongue at the terrifying destruction he'd wrought.
"With four tails like this, when I grow a bit more, could I flip an aircraft carrier over?"
"I really look forward to the day I ascend physically and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun god."
Thinking to himself, Ansheng walked over to a big tree, forcibly uprooting it with one claw, then swung it in the air, striking it over Wang Ya's head.
"Thunk——"
The tree hit Wang Ya's head, and the tree in Ansheng's hands snapped in half, while Wang Ya's form, already wedged deep in the pit, was driven three meters deeper into the void.
"Rustling——"
After the strike, Ansheng waited for Wang Ya's head to emerge again to clobber her, intending to tame her, but this time Wang Ya didn't reappear; instead, only a rustling sound of carapace friction came from the pit.
Hearing Wang Ya speak, Ansheng paused in confusion.
In the pit, a scorpion tail cautiously emerged.
Then, Wang Ya backed out, shaking her rump toward Master Fox.
"Huh?"
Ansheng looked at himself, then at Wang Ya already willing to yield, and thought for a moment before breaking off a branch and striking it heavily across her round butt.
"Prosperity is not an option!"
"At least, not for you, you odd scorpion!"
