Staff members from the [Fox Kingdom] gradually emerged from the villa.
Their characteristics varied widely, in height, size, and demeanor, but the one thing they shared was the dazed expression on their faces, with several large lumps on their heads, as if they were soulless.
Master Fox's entrance was full of shock— a white four-tailed fox speaking human language, wielding a butterfly knife.
The first thing he said: "I've got leverage on you. If you don't listen to me, I'll report you to the Security Bureau to have you executed."
"I don't need you to believe me, but if you try to run and I catch you, I'll 'fly a kite' with you."
At first, they had no idea what flying a kite was.
They thought it meant tying someone to a kite and letting it fly up to the sky.
They consulted the Fox Immortal for clarification.
The answer they received was a silent smile; he said it was a form of punishment from coastal gangs.
And Master Fox's reply also made this wildlife smuggling group aware of something.
The Fox Immortal they met...
He was very much up-to-date, with significant influence both on the light and dark sides of society.
Good heavens!
We only used to deal with small animals, while you engaged in the forbidden trade of firearms.
They were all scared witless, including the self-proclaimed fennec fox king, who was stunned by the pictures of Master Fox's circle of influence.
A large white werewolf stood, riding a speedboat across the night sea, shouldering an anti-tank rocket launcher with English inscriptions, firing, as the tail flame in the photo almost burned the phone's camera lens.
The caption for the social media post read: [It's a pity Master Fox went north for study, otherwise, he would love these new big fireworks.]
Master Fox left from Xia Dong, but the saga of the Longevity Club's poaching team wasn't over.
Under the operations by Feng Wenyu and Old Lady Hedgehog,
it was said a box was sourced from Treasure Island, half of it going to island gambling dens and gangs, and Old Lady taking two pieces from the half.
Once those anti-tank devices arrived, Old Lady took some, while Ah Bai and the Golden Lion took some to clear out the poaching gang.
Those attempting escape within the country were all wiped out with none left behind.
If there weren't regulations against familial punishment, Feng Wenyu's temperament might have led to the massacre of entire families.
Of course, Ansheng wasn't about to explain why Ah Bai could use a rocket launcher to blast a boat.
In the eyes of the smugglers, the Fox Immortal they encountered was undoubtedly a desperate outlaw.
That was American-made anti-tank equipment! Not some homemade specialty.
The employees, including shareholders coming out of the meeting, all looked at Master Fox with eyes full of fear.
They merely smuggled small animals.
Never had they encountered such outlaws, or rather, outlaws in fox form.
Unbelievable.
The Fox Immortal wasn't sitting in a temple, but instead on a yacht, with a rocket launcher in one arm and wealth and beauty in the other.
It's a sign of societal decay, moral corruption!
...
"I'm going to sleep. It's now 4:35. Can you have the [Fox Kingdom] area cleaned up by 9:30 in the morning?"
Ansheng standing at the villa gate, directing Lin Bingyun to reverse the car to the front, planning to pack up the fennec fox's collection of dangerous items.
Ansheng looked at the fennec fox and asked.
"Just surround it with a construction archaeology barrier, and then let the foxes dig underground. Wang Lei originally wanted to solidify around the farm, but hitting a sealing brick with a shovel stopped him."
The fennec fox said dejectedly.
The surroundings of the Forest Fox Breeding Farm were muddy and consisted of forest land, making it inconvenient for large trucks to enter and exit. Wang Lei previously attempted to build a parking lot, but no matter where he dug, he always found strange things.
Wang Lei pretended nothing happened, didn't report it, and dropped the idea of building a large parking lot.
Once reported, it would follow a process, and the surrounding land would be closed, allowing entry for archaeological teams.
Digging up ancient tombs in the [Fox Kingdom] wasn't that difficult.
Of course.
It was too late for that now, so metal panels would be brought to fence off the damage caused by Master Fox. Later, they could combine the two issues to erase traces left by Master Fox and match the previous excuses.
With Wang Ya in his hands, Master Fox effectively held Wang Lei's lifeline.
Whatever he said was law.
Wang Lei would only obey unconditionally, activating his network to assist Master Fox.
"Just get it sorted so as not to delay my visit to the Fox Kingdom with Ah Qing tomorrow."
Ansheng nodded lightly and added, "By the way, there's one more thing I need to ask you."
"Since you know the Woodcutter, I assume you know their duties? I'm just wondering if there's anyone like you who can evade the Woodcutter's searches?"
"There is."
The fennec fox replied without hesitation: "The Woodcutter and Forest Ranger manage broadly. You won't see them in Drum Tower and nearby areas, but there are plenty in the suburbs."
"Shrews need to eat too. There are plenty of small animals in the Chang'an suburbs. Shrews and weasels can't find any food there and are even considered food themselves."
"Oh? Are there any particularly vicious ones? Preferably those with grand ambitions, like killing and arson, seeking to conquer cities or villages, or like you, trying to turn humans into subordinates."
"......." The fennec fox paused, gave Master Fox a once-over, and in a ghostly tone replied:
"I only mind my own small patch, focused on avenging Wang Lei's family over anything else. But I can ask the Red Kestrel, crows, and cuckoos for you."
"Using the sky to relay messages?" Ansheng instinctively glanced at the sky, then back at the fennec fox:
"Manage things well here, and for a month, I guarantee you twenty days without seeing Wang Ya."
"If not managed, then you'll be caged with her."
The fennec fox's face twisted, the pain almost visibly etched onto its little face: "......"
Lin Bingyun went in and out of the villa, carrying heaps of cold weapons and crossbow arrows, directly emptying the fennec fox's collection. She also tossed Wang Lei's 999 liquor onto the car.
After Lin Bingyun finished, she opened a cold cola to nourish Master Fox.
"Take me back to the hotel! Oh, recruit some trustworthy accountants, manage the accounts here, and make sure their dirty money gets invested in ecological restoration and native animal research."
Before parting with Lin Bingyun, Ansheng, as if recalling something, reminded her.
"Alright," Lin Bingyun agreed with a smile.
...…
Back at the hotel, Ansheng was quite self-disciplined, grabbing a room card, taking a shower next door to Ah Qing and her friends, cleaning his small feet, and using the dryer before returning to his room.
"A wall-mounted hairdryer is indeed more comfortable than having foxes dry it themselves."
Standing under an automatic hand dryer, Ansheng shook himself dry, wearing a proud look as if he had accomplished something remarkable, stretching his legs to sneak back into the suite from the windowsill.
"Ah Qing, stop sleeping, I've already prepared breakfast waiting for you to get up and eat."
"Of course, if you're wondering where breakfast is, I can only say it's at the breakfast shop. After all, you can't expect the fox to actually cook you some dishes, right!"
Lying between Ah Qing and Momo, Ansheng rose and fell, pressing down his own nest until it was soft before spreading out all fours and teasing Ah Qing, ready to take a nap.
