"Yip!"
Ansheng wagged his big tail, sneakily crouched in front of the villa gate of Lin Ying’s house, peeking into the garden.
After confirming there was no one in the garden, Ansheng climbed along the design of the bronze gate, leaping onto the lawn inside the garden.
"With my current skills, it’s a waste not to star in a fantasy drama in Hengdian or Studio City."
Ansheng hummed a little tune, humming and fiddling with the balcony door of the villa, entering Lin Ying’s house.
The air conditioning inside the villa wasn’t as chilly as before, maintaining around a comfortable twenty-five to twenty-six degrees.
Ansheng wandered around the first floor, receiving caresses from the maids, and went upstairs holding a chicken leg.
Ansheng wasn’t too worried about being noticed by the maids when visiting Lin Ying’s house, just that his way of entering was too magical, he worried about scaring them.
A fox can squeeze through the door crack if needed.
But Ansheng was accustomed to climbing in and didn’t want to squeeze.
"Yip yip yip!"
Ansheng found Lin Ying in the sunroom, she was lounging on a reclined single sofa feigning sleep.
The sunroom was slightly warmer than the villa, but not by much, possibly due to special glass layers in the sunroom making the sunlight gentle.
Ansheng placed the chicken leg on the fruit tray on the table, then jumped onto the single sofa and nudged Lin Ying.
"Sorry, Master Fox, the doctor said I need more sun and exercise for my womb coldness..."
Lin Ying awoke from her pretend sleep, opened her eyes, and seeing the little fox next to her, she shook her slightly groggy head, making some space.
Lin Ying sat cross-legged at the edge of the sofa, facing Master Fox and spoke.
"Can sunbathing relieve womb coldness?"
The little fox froze, the knowledge Lin Ying mentioned clearly touched a blind spot in the knowledge of a single dog.
Seeming to see Ansheng’s confusion, Lin Ying said:
"It can quickly relieve pain, strictly speaking, sunbathing should be part of body conditioning..."
Hearing Lin Ying’s words, Ansheng glanced with a slightly strange expression towards his home.
With Ah Qing’s ability to lift a gas canister with one hand, she probably doesn’t need these kinds of knowledge, right?
"Did Master Fox come over for the crocodile matter and the Gao Feng Consulting Company issue?"
While Lin Ying knew Master Fox was a dangerous Spirit Beast, she was relatively relaxed facing him, just that her facial expression was somewhat emotionless due to medication suppressing her emotions.
"Yip yip!"
Ansheng nodded, indeed curious about matters related to Spirit Beasts.
Especially after overhearing a conversation between Grandmaster Lin and Lin Ying, Ansheng understood that while the world he was in was similar to his previous life, there were subtle differences.
The existence of Spirit Beasts is secret, but not exactly top secret information.
"Concerning Spirit Beasts, there’s no difference from what Grandmaster said, their emergence is merely a cycle in our Blue Planet’s lifecycle."
Lin Ying thought for a moment and said: "But I need more time to understand the details about Spirit Beasts."
"I only just made contact with those people last night, there are some things that need to be addressed gradually."
"But from the known and clear information, the existence of Spirit Beasts is considered a strategic resource, and the researchers are taking three directions in their studies on Spirit Beasts."
"One is the ancestral method, the Spirit Beast emergence cycle has occurred more than once on the Blue Planet, and ancestors have studied and achieved results on Spirit Beasts before."
"The second type of research belongs to the genetic discipline, but unfortunately, I haven’t encountered it, only heard its name."
"The third category of research, according to those people’s descriptions, should be categorized under botany and zoology."
Lin Ying paused, as if organizing her words.
"The mutation of Spirit Beasts is gradual, currently confirmed that the earliest Spirit Beasts appeared last century, at that time, Spirit Beasts only had changes in fur color and intelligence, not much destructive power, nor Overlord Level Spirit Beasts."
"The definition of an Overlord Spirit Beast is the strongest Spirit Beast in a given area, Spirit Beasts naturally repel each other, or put differently, an Overlord Level Spirit Beast has an extremely strong territorial sense."
"Once an Overlord Level Spirit Beast emerges in a certain area, all Spirit Beasts in the whole area would migrate outward."
Lin Ying looked at Master Fox seriously and said: "Currently, the intelligence I can gather is only this much, your existence, Master Fox... very likely means you are the Overlord Spirit Beast of Changxi Town, Shuopo Ridge, and Skinny Dog Creek."
Ansheng: "........"
Although what you said makes sense, I feel it’s slightly unreasonable.
The Overlord Level Spirit Beast of our village should be that pure black King Cobra hunting mice in Shuopo Ridge.
If so... did I end up sending Changxi Town’s Guardian Spirit Beast to jail in the mountains?
Indeed.
Ansheng was willing to call the cobra the Guardian Spirit Beast.
That King Cobra has no animosity toward humans, in fact, it avoids human activity and foraging.
Yet when it encountered an outsider fox, the King Cobra fiercely attacked, continuing its assault even after being beaten by the fox, showing no fear.
According to Lin Ying’s theory.
Ansheng seemed to understand why that King Cobra was gritting its teeth in hatred towards him.
It is Changxi Town’s Overlord Spirit Beast.
In facing an invading Spirit Beast, it, as Changxi Town’s Overlord Spirit Beast, naturally must defend its territory.
"So, was it beaten for nothing?" Ansheng’s face displayed a puzzled fox-like expression.
"But isn’t that King Cobra way too weak? I feel no difference between squashing it and squashing other snacks."
"No wait...... there’s no essential difference between squashing a crocodile and the King Cobra either."
"Hold on, if that’s the case, could the Skinny Dog Creek Wild Boar invasion be somewhat related to the King Cobra moving house from Changxi Town?"
"Yip yip yip....." Ansheng silently murmured, emitting a series of soft yips from his mouth.
Overlord Spirit Beasts have a strong territorial sense.
And the King Cobra’s relocation happened to move beside the Skinny Dog Creek Wild Boar’s home, as the overlord of Skinny Dog Creek, it’s normal for the boar to occasionally patrol its territory’s border to prevent the King Cobra’s intrusion.
Oops... this makes my brain tickle.
"Master Fox, please rest assured, soon I should be able to get comprehensive information, by then, I’ll be able to figure out how the researchers handle Spirit Beasts and prepare a foolproof anti-imprisonment strategy for you."
Lin Ying assured Ansheng, although she hadn’t directly encountered the Spirit Beast research institutes, she could tell from those people’s tones.
Spirit Beasts are considered strategic assets, requiring cautious research, fearing that a Spirit Beast may become despondent and start a hunger strike, killing itself.
Master Fox’s safety is not an issue.
However, Lin Ying remembered Master Fox having previously compared living in a zoo to staying in jail with bunk beds.
He likely doesn’t enjoy living in a group dormitory.
"By the way..... besides the Spirit Beast institute, I’ve also checked the Gao Feng Consulting Company matter." Lin Ying spoke calmly with an expressionless face: "Gao Feng ate shit."
"Yip?"
Ansheng’s expression stiffened, tilting his fox head to stare intently at Lin Ying’s rosy lips.
Sister Lin Fu... what did you just say?
"Gao Feng ate shit." Lin Ying couldn’t understand the fox’s previous puzzled murmurs but could see the strong sense of doubt in the fox’s tilted head.
"I was released early in the morning."
"But since Master Fox made a special visit to Gao Feng Consulting Company last night, I went there after getting out of the security bureau this morning."
"I saw him eating shit with my own eyes."
Lin Ying remained calm, her face expressionless, her long, thick black hair styled in a rich layered bun at the back of her head, coupled with her emotionless, indifferent look offered by medication.
Even as a married woman, it didn’t affect her cold, intellectual beauty.
The words ’ate shit’.
Can appear anywhere, but they absolutely shouldn’t come from Lin Ying’s mouth.
Ansheng raised a small paw, scratching his ear, and looked at Sister Lin Fu’s face.
"He had it all over his face and puked at the gate."
"He slipped on the vomit, fell down the stairs, and walked away instead of driving."
"I recorded a video." Lin Ying stood up to grab her phone from the table, squatted down by the sofa, and played the recorded video for Master Fox.
Ansheng: "......."
Sister, please stop.
In our understanding, Sister Lin Fu should be as fragile as a porcelain doll like Lin Daiyu, brooding and melancholic.
