"Woof...."
The Fennec Fox who claimed to be the Great King of Foxes stopped its racket after Master Fox struck it, covering the intensely painful crown of its head and letting out a whimper.
Though the Fennec Fox's size was only that of a slipper, its voice was comparable to an air raid alarm.
"Close your yap first, soon the master will come back to handle you."
Ansheng, holding a straight tree branch, retracted the branch he had just swung, emulating a martial artist sheathing a sword, and performed an impressively stylish sword flourish.
"Woof woof woof——"
But the Fennec Fox, beaten with the stick, wasn't as docile as other spirit beasts. As the pain in the crown of its head slightly subsided, it opened its mouth wide and let out ear-piercing barks towards Ansheng.
The Fennec Fox spoke out angrily, constantly interrupting Ansheng's speech and preventing him from interacting with the Wang couple.
Ansheng frowned, looking at the Fennec Fox.
"Whimper-whimper-whimper! Woof woof woof——"
"I'll give you one chance."
"Whimper-whimper-whimper——"
"Huh, pah——" Ansheng spat directly into the Fennec Fox's throat, causing the Fox King to feel a foreign sensation in its throat, instinctively swallowing, but then instantly gagging and retching as it realized.
"Arguing is one thing, but there's no need to open your mouth so wide." Ansheng sneered in disdain, waved his hand, and paid no more heed to the Fennec Fox as he took a couple steps into the living room.
Lin Bingyun recorded the whole process of Master Fox punishing evil with her phone.
Ansheng's gaze swept across the transformed Wang Ya and the couple kneeling on the ground, crying their eyes out.
"You, Wang something, right, lift your head and move it closer to me; Master, I'll show you a great treasure."
Seeing where Master Fox was pointing, Wang Lei instinctively knelt and shuffled forward a couple of steps.
"Right, right, this is the spot."
Master Fox gauged the position, swiftly raised the branch in his hand, and struck Wang Lei's head with an even but not overly hard blow.
"Thunk——"
The sound of a cranial echo reverberated in the living room, Wang Lei's eyes flipped, letting out a scream of pain and clutching his head.
"Bold Wang Lei, Master sees everything clearly. Do I not know why the Fennec Fox is tangled with you?"
Master Fox kicked out, sending Wang Lei rolling to the floor, and then swung the big stick onto his rear.
"Wang Ya, come here, turn your dad over!" Ansheng beckoned Wang Ya, who had been standing by with a wooden expression, to use her scorpion pincers and flip her father's body over.
After delivering the same twenty strikes to Wang Lei's front side, Master Fox finally set down the branch.
[Master Fox sees with keen insight, detecting Wang Lei's wish insincerity and lies. During the development of the fox breeding industry, he frequently tossed sick foxes outside to fend for themselves to save costs, while incoming Red Foxes bullied local foxes. Master Fox stood up for Xia Country's northern foxes!]
[Wish Power +1]
"Huh?"
Seeing the wish list prompt, Ansheng was momentarily stunned, instinctively glancing at Wang Ya's mother.
"You... bring your head over here too."
Qiao Yu, who had been sobbing uncontrollably and attempting to persuade Master Fox not to strike, was shocked but knew that this talking white fox was a true deity, not daring to defy Master Fox's orders.
Qiao Yu, with a face full of fear, cried out, lamenting her husband for engaging in leather business.
"Thunk——"
Master Fox struck again, a flash of gold light suddenly emerging in his mind.
[Master Fox's attention to detail, uncovering the former leader behind the illegal wild animal smuggling ring, Qiao Yu, they committed grave misdeeds disrupting the ecosystem, introducing foreign species to share Xia Country's spirit beast resources....]
[Wish Power +2]
Ansheng: "........"
There really is? I just said it casually.
Turns out, really earned Wish Power from the strikes.
Seeing the Wish Power Value credited, Ansheng was silent for a moment, sitting on the second-floor living room sofa of the villa, he began speaking:
"Let's lay everything out and talk about it! I know about your past animal smuggling activities, you understand why the loud-mouthed fox is tangled with you."
Aside from what happened to Wang Ya, the feud between Wang Lei and Qiao Yu, and the Fennec Fox was actually quite simple.
The Fennec Fox was smuggled in by the Wang couple from abroad to Xia Country to sell as a pet, but it eventually ended up in Wang Ya's hands and became her pet.
Spirit beasts differ from one another.
The Fennec Fox, though a spirit beast, is a textbook-standard [human society specialized spirit beast].
Simply put, the Fennec Fox's evolution path was towards the fox humanoid type, its own power was quite weak.
Without any unexpected changes, the Fennec Fox would only be Wang Ya's pet as a spirit beast.
But as another incident happened, Wang Ya's body inexplicably transformed, allowing the Fennec Fox to turn the tables, using Wang Ya to become the ruler here.
The mutated Wang Ya, although deformed in shape, possesses significant power, especially in defense, she fears no confrontation with tons-heavy foes.
But she encountered Master Fox.
Master Fox, armed with high attack, speed, and health attributes, crushed Wang Ya into despair.
She couldn't even touch him, nevermind retaliate.
Using Wang Ya's mutation, the Fennec Fox spread rumors at the Forest Fox Breeding Farm, persuading the couple to believe their daughter was cursed by the Fox Immortal and punished for their actions.
The Fennec Fox took advantage of Wang Ya's strength to act arrogantly, leveraging her power.
From various wish details in the Fox Kingdom, Ansheng pieced together the true story of the Wang family's conflicts and vendettas.
But this also raised a question.
The mutation that happened to Wang Ya was unrelated to the Fennec Fox or the Wang couple. So how did she become like this?
Qiao Yu wished to Master Fox, hoping her daughter could return.
The reason behind Wang Ya's mutation relates to Wish Power Value, or else Ansheng wouldn't go to such lengths to gather all parties in the villa, intending to piece together the truth through verbal exchanges.
The Fennec Fox, able to control Wang Ya, clearly knows something but would never divulge it to Wang Lei, seeking revenge for their couple having smuggled it.
Therefore.
Ansheng, right off the bat, made the Fennec Fox shut up and then viciously beat Wang Lei and Qiao Yu.
......
With Master Fox revealing the secret of the Fox Kingdom's backstory of wealth,
the villa fell into a brief silence, regardless of the Wang couple or the Fennec Fox, they all covered their hurting parts without speaking.
The Wang couple were beneficiaries,
while the smuggled-in Fennec Fox was also a beneficiary of the illegal earnings.
It, they, and the hotel staff were all vested interests, hiding this matter.
How much is a fur fox worth?
What is the starting price of a rare exotic pet? Thousands, tens of thousands.
And rare creatures with good behavior, many buyers offered hundreds of thousands or millions, even some rare creatures aren't enough to buy just a few but need a whole group.
Because some creatures are social, buying just a few would make survival difficult.
The Wang couple, along with hotel staff, originally specialized in smuggling pets, and the Forest Fox Breeding Farm might not have been their main business at all, just one of their ways to launder illegal earnings.
"Speak up! Earlier, one of you was stubbornly arguing, and the other two were praying for divine intervention to save their daughter, why don't any of you speak now?"
"If you don't say anything, I'm going to call the police!"
"Send you two to jail to pick up soap, and send you to live in the commune with the woodcutters." Ansheng scoured the surroundings with a fierce look, slapping the sofa arm and shouting angrily.
"?"
Lin Bingyun was taken aback at these words, can we really call the police for matters like this?
