"Meeting at Drum Tower, right? Got it, I'll get a ride over there immediately."
After hanging up Wang Qiqi's call, Ansheng restrained the smile spreading across his face, turned to Wang Ya and the Fennec Fox and said, "Regarding that ruin, you guys prepare a bit, we'll be heading there in a couple of days."
"For now, I'll take my leave. You heard it, chaos in Chang'an City, Master Fox is needed to restore order, so no time for chit-chat. Let's catch up over tea another day."
Ansheng politely bid farewell, turned around, and leaped off the balcony with Lin Bingyun in his arms.
In a moment, Master Fox disappeared into the night, swiftly heading toward the parking lot.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't finished talking yet!" Seeing Master Fox leap away, the Fennec Fox widened his eyes and shouted toward the Fox Kingdom:
"Didn't you say you wanted Spirit Beast intel?"
"Why don't you ask me then!"
"For heaven's sake, ask me! You just chatted with Wang Ya about graves, boohoo... ask me!"
The entire Fennec Fox froze on the sofa, one paw on the armrest, the other reaching towards the balcony, seemingly trying to hold back something, wearing a face of utter despair.
"Though Master Fox is handsome, don't be sad. Didn't he say he'd be back in a couple of days?"
Wang Ya gently shifted her weight, leaned on the leather sofa arm, showcasing an enraptured expression, and patted the Fennec Fox's shoulder, fully understanding its current feelings.
Such a beautiful male fox!
Judging by his size, he just reached maturity and has a few more months before he's fully grown.
Hmm...
Just turned eighteen, almost twenty.
The presence of Master Fox is deemed an auspicious blessing in their animal circle.
The fluffy and soft touch, with a hint of coarse yet shiny paw pads, Wang Ya could hardly imagine the delight she'd feel with Master Fox stepping on her face, kneading it.
Such an excellent male fox.
No wonder the Fennec Fox likes him; after all, it was love at first sight for her too!
"Hm~"
Seeing Wang Ya cover her face, her ear tips turned red with embarrassment and imagination, a suspicious pink blush appeared on her cheeks. The despair on the Fennec Fox's face turned into deep bewilderment.
"Wang Ya..."
"Hm?"
"Hm, my foot! Please be normal,"
"Am I not? Isn't this normal? I'm even jealous you get to naturally mate with Master Fox!"
"You...oh, you." The Fennec Fox was flabbergasted, "Please focus on your studies, will you? I can handle the ecological foundation affairs!"
At this moment, an excited and incredulous voice was heard.
"Xiaoya!?"
"Is it really Xiaoya waking up?"
From the second floor of the villa came the laughter of a young girl and the shrill scream of a Fennec Fox. Wang Lei and Qiao Yu, busy with the foundation, upon returning home, heard the familiar laughing voice as they opened the door.
Wang Lei and Qiao Yu were taken aback, quickly rushing upstairs to see the girl sitting on the sofa, holding a fox and cuddling.
"It's Xiaoya... she really came back." Wang Lei murmured softly.
"Dad! Mom!"
Holding the Fennec Fox, Wang Ya got up and threw herself into her parents' arms, without saying a word, just hugging them.
"Good to have you back, good to have you back..."
Seeing Wang Ya, Wang Lei deeply exhaled the pent-up air from his chest, his back slouched, showing fatigue and relief on his face, speaking softly.
In less than a moment, Wang Lei fainted directly, startling Wang Ya and Qiao Yu into immediately calling the doctor.
After three years of turmoil, Wang Lei was holding on with just one breath. Seeing Wang Ya unharmed, he exhaled the unwilling fury from his chest. The tension released, fatigue and exhaustion swept over him, causing him to faint.
In those three years, he was exhausted by the Fennec Fox.
......
[The wish of the daughter's return has been fulfilled. It's hard to say if there's a deity watching, but Master Fox heard the injustice in the morning and knocked on doors by night, knocking sense into the stubborn family, establishing an ecological restoration foundation, and keenly entrusting it to capable hands.]
[Wish Power +4]
[Wish Power +3]
[Total Wish Power: 17 points]
"Huh?"
On his way to Chang'an District, Ansheng suddenly felt two golden lights flash through his mind.
Ansheng opened the wish list and saw a notice of gaining two Wish Power Values. Looking at the settlement page with a confused face, he instinctively clicked on the details page.
[Wish Power +4] comes from [The Daughter's Return], the wishes of Qiao Yu and Wang Ya, which belonged to a regular settlement.
The [Wish Power +3] settlement was due to Master Fox's keen insight, allowing Wang Ya to oversee the 'Qinling Fox Ecological Restoration Foundation', resulting in hidden rewards granted by Chang'an City or Qinling.
"I thought there was a bug."
After reading through the details, Ansheng sarcastically grumbled in his heart.
Turns out it was a reward for protecting a region's environment, making Ansheng mistakenly believe it was an unexpected windfall.
"Master Fox... are you sure about the address Wang Qiqi sent us?"
Lin Bingyun, driving, looked at the address displayed on the car navigation and then at the location of the high-rise five hundred meters away. Lin Bingyun paused and questioned Master Fox about the accuracy of the address.
The woodcutter's office location... just standing upright in the city like this?
"I think it's here? See if there's a sign for [Qinling Earth Mineral Group Co., Ltd.] on top."
Ansheng came to his senses, looked at the address displayed on WeChat, and confirmed the location with Lin Bingyun.
"Got it."
Lin Bingyun drove into the underground parking, picked up the phone to finalize the handover with Wang Qiqi.
Wang Qiqi received the call and, wearing her badge, took the elevator straight to the parking lot to meet Master Fox and the others.
"This way!"
Wang Qiqi waved to Master Fox, leading them to the forty-third floor of the building.
"Below the fortieth floor of this building is state enterprise office space, and above the forty-third floor is our woodcutter's area."
"You're always welcome to visit."
Arriving at the forty-third floor, swiping cards to pass the turnstiles, Wang Qiqi headed upstairs again, changing elevators, and directly reaching the forty-eighth floor, opening the door to a hospital.
"Does a hospital need to be this high?"
Seeing the view outside the elevator, Ansheng couldn't help but ridicule Wang Qiqi.
Along the way, with elevator, stairs, then elevator again, Ansheng thought they were heading to some secret location.
"Having a staff hospital is good enough, who cares where it is." Wang Qiqi shrugged.
The upper floors of the Earth Mineral Group building weren't actually the office locations for the woodcutters but were among the several backup bio-chemical research and Security Bureau data centers.
Due to the fitting research, an internal staff hospital was established at the top, providing routine medical care for the employees and Spirit Beasts.
The woodcutters have been injected with various Spirit Particle Potions and other Spirit Particle Potions, and all their records and medical data are top-secret archives, impossible to appear openly in any medical database.
And Ansheng met the Golden Leopard.
It lay flat on an oversized special bed, wearing a baby diaper.
Ansheng: "....."
Golden Leopard: "......"
