"Get out, get out, I, Ansheng, am not a pig. Where do you think I could just pull out so many pearls....."
Tricking Momo over, the little fox rolled its eyes without mercy, pushing away her delicate face.
The glamorous big river clam had its shell cracked, leaving only three pearls on it. What could I, Ansheng, do?
Getting strange and rare treasures—Ansheng definitely has to send some to Lin Ying, but Sister Lin Fu gave so much that Ansheng feels embarrassed to take any more from her.
As for Ah Qing, of course, I have to give her some too. Someone like Ah Qing, who looks after my diet and routine, and also plays with me—such a great caretaker is hard to find even with a lantern.
And the last pearl, giving it to Momo seems fine too.
But after giving some to Ah Qing and Momo, it doesn't feel right not to bring anything for Tang You and Lingren.
After all.....
Tang You invites me online every day, and Lingren's music note collection is top-notch mental nourishment.
The problem is.....
That colorful big river clam really has no more pearls.
"Ah Qing! Hurry, your little fox just rolled its eyes at me."
Momo covered her cheek, face full of exaggeration, pointing at the little fox, pretending to be very aggrieved, and complained to Ah Qing.
"Haha..."
Ah Qing chuckled twice, put her hand on the little fox's belly to tickle it, and said with a straight face: "That's not okay! Auntie Momo often brings you snacks. If you annoy Auntie Momo, be careful she might hold your little forehead with one hand and eat a chicken leg in front of you..."
"Or, she might rub a big chicken leg in front of your nose without letting you eat it, better go appease Auntie."
"Squeak～"
The little fox kicked its legs, tilted its head, and performed a pretend-to-die act in Ah Qing's arms for Auntie Momo.
"Oh dear... Momo is so strong, punched me, Master Fuli, into oblivion."
"I, Master Fuli, am willing to call you the strongest..."
Momo looked at Ah Qing with a puzzled expression.
Ah Qing laughed and said: "The little fox says that Auntie Momo's great kindness cannot be repaid, so it's pretending to be dead as a performance for you....."
"Oh boy! Showing off talents!" Momo rolled her eyes and commented.
Meanwhile in the livestreaming room, some pets accompanying their owners to watch the livestream gasped when they saw this scene, squeaking and chatting excitedly.
This woman is so strong!
She managed to make Master Fuli expose its belly just by speaking, worthy of being a core leader of the Master Fuli gang, such combat power is terrifying!
......
Amidst the laughter and banter.
A bang sounded, and in the sky, fireworks bloomed, lighting up the grassland, but Ah Qing ignored the rowdy audience in the livestream who tried to coax her into the wrestling ring for a challenge match with strongmen.
Ah Qing admitted that she had a big appetite and the strength of an ox.
She might do okay arm-wrestling.
But wrestling requires skills; how could she win against professionals?
Ignoring the boos from the streaming room, Ah Qing clasped her hands in front of the fireworks, closed her eyes, and started wishing:
"I hope for family happiness and success in everything….."
"Also, may Xiaolan's little fox live longer, two or three decades is okay, but four or five decades would be even better."
[Wishing for Fox Xiaolan to live long and peacefully, avoiding accidents, and being happy every day. ——Yu Xueqing saw the splendid fireworks and silently wished upon the heavens and immortals for her little fox's safety and health.]
[Wish fulfilled: Long live the Fox King Fuli!]
While watching the fireworks, Ansheng suddenly noticed her wish list glowing and realized her housemates were all acting girlish and making wishes. Ansheng, with a slightly mischievous expression, secretly opened her wish list.
The first thing she saw was Ah Qing's wish.
However, upon clearly understanding Ah Qing's wish fulfillment condition, Ansheng's lips twitched, turning to look at Ah Qing, who was wishing with her eyes closed, feeling a bit flustered.
"Isn't there some sort of role confusion between us?"
"Foxes are supposed to act cute, who wishes for a fox to live long and dominate the martial world? No fox can handle such pressure....."
Ansheng snarked, mentally swiping through the wish list to see others' wishes.
Momo's wish was very simple, just hoping to become prettier, and... hoping her stress ball would feel even better, so she can squeeze it more comfortably.
Tang You's wish was even simpler; she hoped to acquire the latest Prism Tank from Xia Country.
Lingren's wish was very fitting; she hoped that the roommates could get along well, without any disputes, and give her a big hug every day just like they do for the fox.
"......Though having four girls in a dorm can create over ten group chats."
"But, I think you can be at ease." Ansheng, upon seeing Lingren's wish, couldn't help but comment:
"Our dorm is famous for being a model dorm where everyone comes home from the fields and just passes out....."
"But your wish for frequent hugs is quite hard to realize, considering..... Momo knows well the peculiar traits of our dorm room, which typically consists of geniuses in their fields."
With the firework's glow and Ansheng's playful banter with Master Fuli, the night at Spring Mountain Grassland drew to a close.
Tang You called her brother, wanting to ask if he had time, since she'd been drinking with friends and shouldn't drive home herself, but Tang Lian's phone couldn't be reached, making it seem like he'd disappeared.
Tang You rolled her eyes and had to find a ride through a driving service app.
"Mua～"
Everyone headed back to the dorm, stowing away the big orange cat in the SUV. Tang You's vehicle was spacious enough for the Medicine Spring Mountain Lord to nestle into the trunk. Ah Qing, slightly tipsy, played with the little fox in her hand.
Ah Qing buried her face into the little fox's belly, blowing air with her mouth to make 'ppp' noises.
"Haha.... stop it, it's so ticklish!" The little fox kicked its little legs, squeaking in joy.
However.
The joyful atmosphere in the garage paused with the ring of Tang You's phone.
Seeing an unfamiliar caller ID, Tang You hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone: "Hello? Hello...."
"Boss, hi! I'm the driver from the driving service, I might be a bit delayed for another ten minutes here. There's a traffic accident, multiple lanes are blocked, and the traffic police are scratching their heads over assigning responsibility...."
"If you're okay with it, I'll continue heading over," the driver said to Tang You in an exaggerated tone.
"A traffic accident with undetermined responsibility?" Tang You raised her eyebrows in disbelief: "Is it a multi-car collision or something?"
"No, it's a compact car with an out-of-town license plate that climbed onto the body of a tank, traffic police beside it scratching their heads!" the driver enthusiastically explained:
"Seems to be quite the big deal, don't doubt it, boss—when I arrive, I'll show you some pictures."
Tang You: "......"
