"Huhu is just amazing, check-in successful!"
Yuyu gently stroked the fox's head, smiling broadly as she showed off her selfie with Huhu to Momo: "Among all the little cuties I've seen, our Xiaolan is the cutest!"
"Yes, yes, I am the cutest. You better have makeup remover in your bag later, or don't blame me for ruining your lipstick..."
Ansheng rolled his eyes at this. Unlike Ah Qing, who preferred a bare face, Yuyu wore light makeup, and the foundation and lipstick stains on her cheeks rubbed off onto Ansheng's snow-white fur.
Such lipstick stains are quite difficult to clean without makeup remover oil.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Ansheng let out a soft whimper towards Ah Qing.
"Oh, oh... Remember to come back early, the incident of you running away from home last night needs a good talking to when I get home..."
Ah Qing responded to the little fox with an awkward yet courteous stiff smile on her face.
Ah Qing was too preoccupied to worry about the little fox; she had her own issues to deal with.
Her cousin is getting married at the end of next month, and now her relatives on her mother's side are both celebrating her world record award and, due to the cousin's wedding, indirectly involving her.
There's no pressure to marry, though.
But the pre-engagement questioning has begun, asking her about what kind of guys she likes.
Ah Qing cast a pleading glance towards Chen Peipei.
But Chen Peipei and Yu Zhenghong both maintained a polite smile, gesturing to Ah Qing that they had no solution either.
If your parents get involved with us...
Do you believe they could persuade us to have a third child?
In Xia Dong's post-wedding culture, when it comes to having children, it's either none at all or having twins for good luck, or continuing until there's a son.
Cases like Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei with only one daughter are actually rare in Xia Dong.
Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei were well past the age of having a second child.
But in the eyes of relatives, being in their forties is the prime time to have fun with two kids, otherwise, the house feels somewhat lonely during the New Year.
Better you than me.
Facing Ah Qing's plea for help, Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei politely stepped back and turned to enjoy the scenery.
After greeting, Ansheng jumped off the table onto the restaurant floor, preparing to leave.
And Yuyu didn't stop him, instead happily opened her WeChat, found the "Fursuiting Enthusiasts" group in her folded chats, and posted the selfie with Huhu to show off.
Yuyu: "Successful winter Huhu check-in!"
Leaving Ansheng didn't notice the information on Yuyu's phone screen.
Otherwise, upon seeing this group chat, Ansheng would immediately understand why Yuyu was so passionate and fond of him...
This person, just like Wang Ya, belongs to the Furry Fanatics sect.
Except, Wang Ya's level is like a closed-door disciple.
Yuyu should be just starting out.
......
"Hmm? Didn't they say Old Lin was here? Why haven't I seen him?"
Ansheng, arriving at the holiday resort's forest, looked at Lin Ying with slight surprise as he asked.
Most of the audience was in front of the stage, eating and chatting at the outdoor buffet.
While the Spirit Beasts and Woodcutters, after confirming no danger, gathered in the forest for the big feast exclusive to Spiritual Particles organisms.
"Master Fuli, are you looking for Grandmaster Lin? He just got a call and went abroad."
Lin Ying looked at Master Fuli with some confusion and said, "When Grandmaster Lin left, he was in a hurry, and his face seemed somewhat unusual, but he didn't say anything was the matter..."
Lin Qi was just here, but after receiving a call, he took a team of gene-swap personnel and flew back to America on a private jet.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to mock Old Lin's terrible gaming skills."
Ansheng chuckled. Li Wenkang had given him a new smartphone with updated features. Logging into WeChat, he saw Grandmaster Lin's gaming rank, which, while not the absolute worst, was a series of red losses.
"........"
Lin Ying was stunned, letting out a light laugh: "If you want to find Grandmaster Lin, you can find him on your WeChat list, though, he's usually only online at dawn."
Meanwhile, Lin Bingyun, hearing Lin Ying and Master Fuli's conversation, seemed to remember something, and said to Master Fuli: "Speaking of WeChat friends, I have something to report."
"Early yesterday morning, someone with the WeChat name 'Earl' sent you a friend request, but since I didn't know who it was, I left it pending."
"Earl?"
Ansheng was puzzled and curiously asked, "Why would an information dealer add me on WeChat? Go ahead! The guy with the code name Earl seems pretty wild; he apparently knows something about all the Longevity Club matters."
"Alright." Lin Bingyun nodded lightly and approved the friend request on Master Fuli's phone.
"Lin Ying, let's find a quiet place. I feel a tickle in my brain again."
Ansheng squatted beside Lin Ying, looking up, proudly mentioning his growth.
"Then... let's go to the riverside! No one else will disturb us there."
Lin Ying was surprised, but this time, she didn't show any shocking emotions. Instead, she smiled, as if she didn't find it strange that Master Fuli's power grows after vanquishing demons.
Though curious, she didn't pry, and instead fondly picked up the little fox, placing him on her shoulder.
"Almost forgot to bring the cola..." Ansheng's tail curled up, picking up a bottle of ice-cold cola from the table, happily walking with Lin Ying to the riverbank.
Lin Ying glanced around, found a cut tree stump, brushed off its surface, and placed Master Fuli on top.
"Gulp gulp gulp—"
Ansheng squatted on the stump, raised a hand, tilted the cola can, and poured half of it into his mouth.
Meanwhile, in his mind, he called forth the wish list.
[Physique: 210]
[Wisdom: 48]
[Wish Power: 42]
The engagement at Peace Island was equivalent to Ansheng teaching more than a dozen Spirit Beasts in the mountain forest.
Yet the incident at Peace Island also made Ansheng understand one thing: not all landlords are treasure troves. Some landlords are stingy and don't give up any Wish Power at all.
No Wish Power means they have not done overly bad things in life.
But they still enjoyed a good beating from Master Fuli.
And for this, Ansheng had no solution; he couldn't tell if the landlord had Wish Power until he gave them a beating.
"Why hasn't Earl's wish been settled?" Ansheng glanced at the wish list, muttering in his heart.
Real name Lucy 6 from Earl, she made a wish before he left, asking him to destroy Vimal.
But even though Vimal was destroyed, her wish still hasn't been settled. He wonders what happened.
"Well, forget it, bro! Cash in on wisdom!"
Ansheng muttered a couple of words to himself but didn't care much about Earl's settlement, figuring he could just beat her up another day.
[Wisdom: 48→90]
42 points of Wish Power pumped all at once, the blue aura on the wish list rose, traveling up Master Fuli's spine until it merged into the consciousness space's slightly surreal blue fox statue.
Master Fuli trembled all over, overcome with an indescribable drowsiness and a sense of comfort.
Slowly, Master Fuli sank into slumber.
And the little fox statue, now watered, gradually became solid, growing a second tail.
Even as it transitioned from ghostly to solid, the little fox statue's transformation didn't stop; it continued to change.
The statue became increasingly lifelike.
Suddenly.
The fox statue opened its tightly shut eyes, and the third tail grew out from behind.
An invisible wave emanated from Master Fuli's body, sending ripples through the outside world.
