The night was deep, and the barbecue party ended.
The members of the study group with Ah Qing and friends returned to the dormitory to rest, preparing to continue at six in the morning tomorrow.
"Miaomiao... maybe you should release the peregrine falcon back to nature and let the Forestry Bureau handle it. I'm afraid you won't be able to manage..."
Ah Qing looked at Miaomiao, who was already wearing a pair of mouse ears as a headband, and advised with subtle expression.
It had only been less than three hours, and Ah Qing already felt that Miaomiao was nearly tamed by the peregrine falcon.
Ah Qing thought that if Miaomiao didn't release the peregrine falcon back into the wild, in no time at all, Miaomiao might end up helping the falcon hatch its eggs.
"It's just a matter of shame, I was never afraid of poverty, why would I be afraid of this now?"
Miaomiao gritted her teeth and said, "Now with the help of Big Brother National One, I want to see which beast dares to steal my intimate clothing!"
"Under National One, Big Brother is invincible, with or above National One, my falcon brother will definitely go one-for-one!"
"Whoosh~" The peregrine falcon puffed out its chest mischievously, raised its wings with a teachable look, and patted Miaomiao's shoulder.
"Well... I'm heading back now; I have to get up early for class tomorrow!" Miaomiao hugged the peregrine falcon, said goodbye to Ah Qing, and prepared to return to the dorm to take a bath and sleep.
"That might lead to tenosynovitis, periarthritis, or perhaps cervical spondylosis..."
Ah Qing waved goodbye to Miaomiao, looked at Momo and the others with a sigh, and began to rant.
The peregrine falcon wasn't heavy, but the one Miaomiao had didn't like to fly much and preferred to ride on people.
"You're criticizing others; why don't you look at what's hanging on your head."
Momo started making fun of Ah Qing.
Ah Qing was wearing a hooded down jacket today; half of the fox lay in the hood while Huhu's belly rested on Ah Qing's head, waving its little hands in contentment.
"Xiaolan? Xiaolan is different; he's only about ten pounds, easy to carry."
Ah Qing raised both hands, pinched the little fox paws dangling beside her face, and waved at Momo.
"Whee~" Ansheng squealed happily and looked at Momo, letting out a crisp mewing sound:
"How can the two things be the same! An I not only takes a bath every day, clean and hygienic, I've never minded that Ah Qing hasn't washed her hair in two days, so how could she possibly mind An I's weight?"
Ansheng spoke with justified confidence.
Before moving into the girls' dormitory, Ansheng always thought washing hair every three days was quite normal for girls.
But the reality was that some lazy ones would let their hair hang loose for three days after washing it, then wear it in a bun for another three days. In extreme cases, they could even hide under a hat for three more days, then go to a salon for a wash and repeat the cycle.
"By the way, Xiaolan, I have a new friend to introduce you to."
Returning to the dormitory, Ah Qing, after bathing the little fox, hurried back while Ansheng watched with a curious expression as she opened a square package.
Ah Qing's eyes sparkled as she took out a downward-blowing automatic hand dryer, placing it in front of Ansheng.
"... Spare me, even if you lent all the money to your cousin, you wouldn't need to buy me a hand dryer!" Ansheng rolled his eyes and playfully slapped Ah Qing's head with a paw:
"Stop looking at life hacks; if you don't want to use a hairdryer on my fur, just buy a pet-specific dryer!"
"Um..." Ah Qing whimpered pathetically, holding her forehead: "You're still small, so I thought a hand dryer might work..."
Ansheng contemplated, walked a few steps in the bathroom, then shook off the water in front of Ah Qing.
"Ptooey ptooey..." Ah Qing, splattered by the water, muttered with a pout and took out her phone to request a return.
"If you don't like it, just say so! No need to launch personal attacks, you bad fox."
...
On the private jet at Chang'an Airport
"Master, we've arrived in Chang'an City, and the Fox Immortal will begin his teachings tonight."
Lord Lü respectfully informed the master, who was sitting cross-legged on the airplane sofa.
"You can just say the plane is landing and I need to buckle up; no need to beat around the bush." Lu Tiannan's left head opened its eyes, glanced at Lord Lü, and said: "Xiaocai, did you prepare all the gifts I asked for?"
"Reporting to Master, everything is in place, though it might not arrive until the evening. We won't be disrespectful."
Lord Lü sat back in the sofa, secured his seatbelt, and replied.
"I spit! I, a Daoist of Guixu, have always been gifted by others, never the one giving gifts, especially not to a junior with 'Fox' in their name!"
"Ignoring protocol, asking me to visit instead; who exactly is being rude now?"
Lu Tiannan hadn't spoken yet, but his twin head on the right burst into a furious tirade at Lord Lü, and also criticized Lu Tiannan at the same time.
"We must not be rude when visiting, regardless of whether they are or aren't..."
Lu Tiannan let out a hearty laugh, widened his tiger eyes, knocked his head against the demonic head, emitting a sinister chuckle, and flicked his tongue up and down as if to lick the right head.
The right head, full of disgust, strained its neck as far away as possible.
"If I can get rid of you, it doesn't matter how insane the other side is, I'd still pay a visit——"
Lu Tiannan, like a lunatic, disgusted the dog head on the right into silence, returned to normal, adjusted his robes indifferently.
This stupid dog head was just looking for trouble, trying to provoke Lord Lü's perception of the Fox Immortal.
A being like Master Fuli, in a Security Bureau system, would be equivalent to a district Defender, or a flying firefighter ready at any moment.
How could an old man like himself, with no official position, expect Master Fuli to come himself?
It wouldn't be reasonable or logical; that stupid dog head was just nitpicking.
"Idiot..."
The right head snorted, ceased speaking, and closed its eyes dismissively.
The two were completely integrated, sharing organs, with no possibility of separation. Even if decapitated, a new head would grow back in no time.
It harbored deep resentment and loathing for Lu Tiannan's stubbornness, not understanding why it had the misfortune to grow on such a jerk.
The Longevity Club was much better, always talking about benefits and profit rather than cultivation.
"Calling me an idiot, who's the idiot?" Lu Tiannan shot a sidelong glance at the right head skeptically.
But the right head remained silent until Lu Tiannan disembarked, taking out an e-cigarette, puffing without exhaling, seemingly trying to suffocate himself. The right head's face turned a bit flushed, forced to open its mouth.
"Phew——"
The right head, like a smokestack, was busy exhaling smoke, barely having time to speak, turning the Maybach cabin into a hazy white in no time.
The driver had no choice but to open the window, which made the car look like it was on fire, emitting smoke crazily.
"......"
Lord Lü, full of helplessness, transferred two thousand to Driver Xiao Li on WeChat: "Just drop us off at the entrance of Xinxing Agricultural Science College, wait at the foot of the mountain, and don't come up without permission, or... the hidden sentries might capture you."
Cultivators were all gathering at the ecological base, summoned by Master Fuli for a convention.
Or rather, Master Fuli was holding a lecture, broadening horizons for the younger cultivators.
