"......"
In the living room on the second floor of the villa, after a long silence, Wang Lei spoke up:
"Fox Immortal, my lord...."
"You are right, everything is caused by us smuggling pets, it was our ignorance that offended the Spirit Fox Envoy. I, Wang Lei, am willing to accept the punishment from the Fox Immortal, I beg you to have mercy on my daughter..."
"Apart from smuggling..."
As Wang Lei began to speak, Qiao Yu instinctively pulled at her husband.
But Wang Lei glared fiercely at Qiao Yu:
"In times like this, you still think about money! What's the use of leaving all the money to Xiao Ya? What's the use of the research lab we spent over a hundred million on? My poor daughter can't even maintain a human form now!"
Wang Lei's furious roar echoed, as he spent countless money over three years, trying countless folk remedies, but all he got was the merciless mockery of the Fennec Fox, repeating the same words again and again.
"Those... are what you deserve, these are curses from the Fox Immortal, you can only watch helplessly as Wang Ya precedes you, pitiful and lamentable, having a child in old age but unable to hold onto your own child..."
The Fennec Fox was like a nightmare, Wang Lei more than once suspected it was the Fennec Fox causing trouble and wanted to get rid of it.
But those means were all ineffective, Wang Ya would always stand in front of the Fennec Fox, using her mutated body to block bullets and knives, erupting with a terror like the descent of a Demon God.....
The Fennec Fox claimed to be the 'Spirit Fox Envoy', personally enlightened by the Fox Immortal.
When all this happened, with all the science unable to explain the occurrences before him, no matter how reluctant he was to believe, Wang Lei had to face the matter of the "Fox Immortal's curse" as told by the Fennec Fox.
Now.
The Fox Immortal was right in front of him, Wang Lei didn't care if this was the Fox Immortal who cursed his daughter or if it was another Fox Immortal who cursed his daughter.
He just wanted his daughter to return to being a normal person, even if it meant giving up all his wealth and everything he'd built up over the years.
He was already over sixty now, with only a few good years left to live, his only obsession was Wang Ya.
"Apart from smuggling pets...."
"We also bred foxes to harvest their fur, and in the process.... to save costs, we threw sick foxes into the mountains, some died from illness, while others lucky enough to survive did. The artificially bred fur foxes were all fat and strong..."
"They invaded the ecosystem of native red foxes. The district leadership had conducted key investigations on this matter, but.... I secretly used some means to lay the blame onto those legitimate release and blessing charity organizations...."
Wang Lei recounted one mistake after another that he had committed, some of which he knowingly committed because it saved money.
A fur fox only cost two to three hundred, while the cost of treating their illnesses could well exceed the price of a fur fox. For those small fur foxes, upon discovering they were sick, they were directly discarded.
Because small fur foxes had no value even in harvesting, it would be pure waste of labor.
"And I shouldn't have believed the superstition about making wine with 999 fox whips..."
"??? "
Ansheng had been listening calmly all along, not reacting much to what Wang Lei said, in farms and leather processing plants, if they don't kill foxes, who expects them to worship foxes?
It's just.
The matter of the 999 fox whips truly shocked Ansheng.
"What the hell, I, An, have never seen such a pervert, even 128 whips would be going too far, yet you went and brewed wine with 999 whips, no wonder your sperm count is low..."
Ansheng cursed in his mind, raised his hand, and directly interrupted Wang Lei's speech:
"Enough! The master isn't interested in hearing any bullshit about brewing wine with fox whips, talk about your daughter!"
"Rustle rustle....." Seeing Master Fox looking in her direction, the half-human, half-scorpion Wang Ya let out a hissing sound.
She tilted her head, looking at Master Fox, seemingly puzzled why he looked at her without speaking.
"Xiao Ya...."
Wang Lei instinctively looked at his daughter, then turned back to look at Master Fox and said: "She... although she used that dirty money, I can guarantee, she genuinely didn't know about these things the whole time, it was us who forced her with a knife to spend that dirty money...."
When it came to matters concerning Wang Ya, Wang Lei was silent for a while before stammering a sentence.
Ansheng:"......."
Using a knife to force her, but those matters aren't even what I care about.
"You speak."
Ansheng looked towards Qiao Yu and said.
"Xiao Ya.... Xiao Ya was a diligent and excellent student before the accident, studying in the archeology major at Northwest University. We expected her to one day secure a formal position and serve the country, not become like us, doing evil."
Qiao Yu seemed to have realized something, feeling that the Fox Immortal Lord, who could speak human language in front of her, might not be the one who cursed her daughter.
So, when Qiao Yu spoke about Wang Ya, besides her life achievements, she spent a lot of words on Wang Ya's good character and future planning.
Every time Qiao Yu praised her daughter, she would secretly observe Master Fox's expression to judge if her words were exaggerated.
"Your daughter is quite something, next time I'll say hello to the Leshan Giant Buddha, let it go out begging, your daughter can just sit on it."
Ansheng rolled his eyes, but he keenly sensed something from Qiao Yu's account.
Wang Ya was a sophomore in the archeology department at Northwest University.
Archeology, from a previous life's perspective, was like those unpopular majors like history, with probably lower admission scores.
But the archeology major, in this life, had some really significant aspects intertwined with it.
The forefront results of basic applications of Spiritual Particles all originate from the efforts of archaeologists.
A single use of the Luoyang Shovel might unearth documents that could advance spiritual particle science.
Wang Ya was an archeology sophomore.
Moreover, she studied in Chang'an, which is said to have more people underground than above ground.
Alright!
Though the truth wasn't clear, it was vaguely possible to guess what happened to Wang Ya.
"Ahem...."
Ansheng jumped off the sofa, grabbed a branch resting on the sofa, and walked towards the Great King of the Ear Fox.
"!?"
Seeing Master Fox approaching with a big stick, an ugly smile appeared on the Fennec Fox's face:
"Master Fox Brother~ Hello there!"
Facing complete ruin, the King of Foxes was now utterly stunned.
The strongest support temporarily lost control, its bank card passwords were all leaked out.
Moreover, judging by that manic fox, it clearly intended to resolve the issue Wang Ya was facing, how could the Fennec Fox possibly want to let go of its greatest support.
The Fennec Fox deployed its Enchanting Fox ability.
"What? You're calling me brother?"
Facing the Fennec Fox, Ansheng seemed immune to its seductive moves, overly exaggeratedly shocked and disappointed, and said:
"Kid! I'm so disappointed in you! You don't even want to call me dad! Taste the big stick!"
"Dong——"
"Awoo! Woof woof woof——You damn!" The Fennec Fox roared furiously: "I'm such a cute fox, yet you can bear to hit me, do you have any humanity left?"
"Shut your mouth! If you don't answer my questions, Master Fox will turn you into Fox Joy Sashimi!"
"Fox Joy..... Sashimi?" The Fennec Fox was dumbfounded.
Master Fox picked up the Butterfly Knife on the table, looked seriously at the Fennec Fox, and said: "Right! Fox Joy!"
