Noticing the extraordinary changes in herself, Lin Ying walked to the mirror and looked at the reflection. She was stunned to find a pair of fox ears on her head, and turned her head to check her rear.
The clothes that usually covered part of her butt were now unnaturally bulging. Lin Ying reached in and pulled out a fluffy, furry tail from her pants, her face full of confusion.
"Why have I turned into a fox?"
Looking at her slightly altered face, Lin Ying could feel the corners of her eyes lifting slightly. What should have accentuated a dignified and simple look suddenly inexplicably became a bit more charming, and she could sense that something about her had become peculiar.
She couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange, only that an endless surge of power was flowing through her.
Lin Ying frowned and extended her arm, lifting the decorative table at the door with one hand. The hundreds of pounds seemed as light as a badminton racket to her now.
"Crash—"
The antique vase on the table shattered on the floor. Lin Ying, clearly not in her normal state, paid no attention to it. Instead, she leaped up in excitement, moving through the house with the agility of an ancient martial arts hero, ending up in the kitchen.
Seeing the high-priced, metallic-surfaced fridge composed of three parts, Lin Ying lifted it with both arms, sending it crashing into the ceiling. Still not satisfied, she headed towards the gym area in the house.
"......"
Ansheng was hiding on the leather sofa, with a pillow on his head, stealthily observing the situation.
"It has begun, it has begun, our fox lady has started demolishing the house. The excitement level is through the roof."
Hearing the rumbling from the gym, Ansheng commented with an astonished exclamation.
Ever since Lin Ying got the injection, Ansheng had noticed something off about her mood.
Usually, Lin Ying showed little emotional fluctuation, not exactly frowning but neither smiling.
Her demeanor was always calm, like a serious and dignified elite at a negotiation table.
However.
After the Spirit Particle Potion injection, Lin Ying's lips curled upward, clearly showing her excitement.
The excitement level of a fox is very high, and its destructive power when ripping up a house can't even be compared to that of a husky.
Given enough time, a fox could even dig up the foundation and build a nest underground...
Ansheng didn't engage in such behavior because, well, playing with a phone is more fun than digging. He had dug enough in his past life.
"Click—"
Lin Bingyun entered with groceries, seeing the previously grounded table now standing upright, and the Qing Dynasty vase shattered on the floor, its water and flowers splattering everywhere. She was stunned.
She glanced around, noticing the custom shoe cabinet had moved, the fruit basket on the kitchen island toppled, and the combined refrigerators were now crookedly collapsed.
Subtly.
Lin Bingyun even noticed the washer-dryer combo seemed to be in a different spot.
"Master Fox, you....."
While surveying the "battlefield," Lin Bingyun saw the little fox Master nestled in the sofa gap with a pillow on its head.
"Listen, the sound of the fox...."
Ansheng noticed Lin Bingyun's gaze and with a look of amazement, said, "Lin Ying is tearing up the house over there!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bingyun listened carefully and seemed to really hear some strange chanting sounds.
"Miss... is tearing up the house?" Lin Bingyun was stunned.
"Master Fox! I feel the power!" Lin Ying came out of the gym, her original single tail now doubled with excitement.
Lin Ying leaped over twenty meters onto the sofa, cuddling against Master Fox.
"Yingyingying—" Ansheng was full of horror.
"Ying?" Lin Ying let out a soft murmur, tilting her head slightly to look at Master Fox.
"Ying!" Ansheng responded.
After transforming into a fox, Lin Ying naturally mastered the fox language and engaged in perfect fox-to-fox communication with Ansheng.
Lin Bingyun stood there, dumbfounded, her panic resembling that of an inexperienced young girl.
"Big...."
"The lady.... has turned into a fox and is demolishing the house!"
......
The chaos in the Phoenix City District lasted for half an hour until the effect of the Spirit Particle Potion wore off, and Lin Ying returned to normal, falling asleep on the sofa. Only then did Ansheng, Lin Bingyun, and the other servants let out a sigh of relief.
Although Lin Ying fell asleep.
The house now looked like a war zone.
The sofa replaced the chandelier, hanging from the ceiling, with the washing machine precariously perched atop the television.
Ansheng spent a long time wondering how the thin television could support the washing machine.
Not to mention the ridiculous sight of the square fireplace being tilted into a rhomboid on the island.
"I'm very sorry the lady was out of control tonight," Lin Bingyun profusely apologized while taking Ansheng back to school.
"It's okay, go back and take care of Sister Lin Fu, okay? You can drop me off here." Ansheng wiped his little fox face.
"Alright."
As Lin Bingyun returned Ansheng to school, there wasn't a hint of helplessness, only deep excitement.
Preliminary estimates of Lin Ying demolishing the house suggested about two million in damages, over four hundred thousand for the island alone, the fridge area took over three hundred thousand, gym equipment losses around sixteen thousand, and the sofa another fourteen thousand.
But in Lin Bingyun's eyes, it was totally worth it.
She hadn't seen the lady so lively and cheerful for half a year.
The amount of money lost, although significant, was less than Lin Ying's half-day annual income.
As long as the lady is happy.
......
Watching Lin Bingyun leave.
Ansheng patted the saddlebag on his chest; there was still a bottle of Spirit Particle Potion inside.
His original plan had been to inject it into Ah Qing's backside, but after witnessing Lin Ying's house-demolishing prowess.
Ansheng decided it would be wise to hold off. Ah Qing's destructive abilities were already remarkable enough without enhancement, and injecting her could reduce the academy to rubble in half an hour?
"Better ask Wang Qiqi tomorrow what the deal is with these peculiar potions and whether I got a dud."
Ansheng felt these potions were harmless, but it would be best to seek professional guidance on their use to avoid a beastly outburst like Lin Ying's tonight.
Ansheng checked the time, 4:30 a.m., just right for him to return home for a nap.
With a natural expression, he strolled leisurely back to the girls' dormitory.
Arriving at the dorm entrance, he saw the dorm matron.
The dorm matron glanced at Ansheng and no longer bothered herself with what appeared to be a misbehaving Spirit Beast fox. She took a deep breath, facing the dormitory, and boomed with a thunderous shout:
"Fourth Year, Agriculture Class, Yu Xueqing!"
"Yu Xueqing!"
"The teacher at the Animal Science School next door needs your help. His student's chickens were gulped by a python at midnight!"
"Agriculture Class Yu Xueqing, next door...."
The second call rang out, and all the students in the dorm stuck their heads out in surprise.
"Who? Who's the wild hero?"
"Where, where's the Xu Xian?"
Ah Qing sat up from bed, dumbfounded: "Huh?"
