Seeing Yuyu's curiosity, Ansheng began to talk about how he met Ah Qing.
Their encounter was just a wonderful twist of fate, as they both found each other pleasing to the eye.
At this point.
Ansheng solemnly declared that at first, he didn't actually have this ability. He couldn't speak human language, and even opening a can of Coke required assistance from a tool.
His meeting with Ah Qing was fate, not some calculated move to make her his meal ticket.
"...envies Ah Qing, who can go home during holidays and find a talking spirit fox."
Yuyu looked enviously, stretching out her arm to gently rub Master Fuli's paw.
"Initially, I couldn't speak human words. According to the Security Bureau's internal description, I belong to the 'Socially Specialized Spirit Beast', evolving to adapt to human society."
"When I grow a bit older, there's a chance I can turn into a fox-eared young boy."
Ansheng laughed heartily, speaking fluently in fox language, looking at Lingren with a teasing expression:
"When I really change, don't say you want me to change back."
In Ah Qing's dormitory, it was often Lingren who would call for Ansheng to change, followed closely by Momo.
"Pfft..."
Lingren, who was teased by Master Fuli, was too embarrassed to say anything, while the Golden Leopard and Wang Qiqi, who were eating melon and watching the show, couldn't help but let out a "pfft" sound.
The Golden Leopard turned around, using both paws to cover its mouth to keep from laughing too loudly.
Change?
Master Fuli had already been able to change, even scaring Miyel from the neighboring country almost to the point of wetting herself.
But the unusual behavior of the Golden Leopard and Wang Qiqi didn't catch the attention of Momo and the others, as they were deeply immersed in the exploration of the fox's new ability to speak human words.
…
"Mmm... The thing you're asking about, I'm afraid it's really hard for me to explain to you. In the wild, spirit beasts are fierce, and the chance of getting one for free is close to zero."
"Generally speaking, it's done with a rocket launcher." Ansheng waved his hand, signaling Yuyu not to think too much about it. The probability of capturing a wild spirit beast is not zero, but the chances are akin to a poor student getting into Qingbei.
"If you don't believe it, go outside now, I'll tell the guys out there to bring you a newly spiritualized wild fox, and you can give it a try."
"Really?" Yuyu looked disbelieving, yet for some undisclosed reasons, she wanted to try.
Seeing this, Ansheng could only give the word, then watch Yuyu walk from the listening room to the conference room to tame the fox.
Under everyone's gaze, Yuyu confidently pushed open the door and stepped outside.
A moment later.
Yuyu walked back in, shrugged helplessly, and said:
"Alright! What Xiaolan said was so true, taming spirit beasts is really hard. In two minutes, I was bitten thirteen times by wild foxes, got peed on, and my calf was gnawed like the Qin King circling the pillar..."
"In the future, if it's not a fox certified by Xiaolan, I don't think I'll touch any of them."
As Yuyu spoke, she turned around, exposing the fox that was biting her butt and wouldn't let go.
"....."
Momo stood silently, subconsciously looking at the elegant little fox sitting on the table.
"Spirit beasts are like that. They mainly focus on driving away wild people and wild beasts. For humans to tame a fox, there's a lot to consider."
Ansheng lifted a paw and slapped the fox on the crown of its head, startling the fox into letting go and scampering under the sofa, peeking out with a face full of grievance looking at Master Fuli.
She touches my head.
I won't let her touch it, she then turns to touch my butt, biting her behind is reasonable, right?
Why am I getting slapped on the head?
Due to Wang Qiqi's presence, Momo and the others actually had countless questions but did not speak up, merely shared a KFC snack with Wang Qiqi... No, it should be said, with the Golden Leopard.
Wang Qiqi was sent off by Master Fuli to work on Lu Tiannan's medical records and right-hand identity files.
Lu Tiannan's matter is of great importance, requiring an immediate arrangement for Spiritual Particles lessons for him, and instructing Old Li to order the Security Bureau to search for clues related to 'Primitive Cells'.
Leaving the Security Bureau, it was around eleven at night.
"This Security Bureau is quite outrageous..."
Returning to her car, Momo sat in the driver's seat, glancing back at the ecological base, looking at Ansheng sitting on her lap, exclaimed: "They actually let a monkey sit in front of a computer to handle registrations for us."
Momo complained to Master Fuli about the bizarre scene she just witnessed in the archives room.
She is gradually accepting the revival of Spiritual Particles and the spirit beasts.
But neither Ansheng nor Wang Qiqi disclosed much, only following necessary confidentiality regulations and solving certain doubts without going too deep into conversation.
"You shouldn't underestimate that monkey, it's quite the go-getter in the ecological base."
Ansheng stood on Momo's lap, pointed out the car window: "Look outside..."
Momo and the others looked to see a monkey leisurely heading to the parking lot, taking out car keys and unlocking a Mercedes-Benz, pulling out a sign:
"[Headed to town, thirty-one seats, full departure.]"
The monkey held up the sign in the base to attract customers, and once five passengers were on board, he drove down the mountain.
"Isn't this overloaded?" Momo asked the little fox with a wide-eyed look.
"Fits five, no problem," Ansheng chuckled and turned to Momo, "That's what the traffic law says!"
"Most spirit beasts are very dangerous, but those who've tasted the Security Bureau's violent fists, though still spirit beasts, have a high pursuit of life's quality. They overdo humans, even pandas have come out to work, seen that?"
"If you guys are interested, once we meet ambitious spirit beasts, I can introduce you."
"Then... it's settled."
Momo stroked the little fox's head, yet as she started the vehicle, she raised a question she had wanted to ask but hadn't because of outsiders:
"You mentioned once, you said you weren't deliberately hiding anything from me."
"But are you planning not to tell Ah Qing? It seems very wrong, like a scumbag among humans."
The fox is still the same as before, only can now speak, but nothing else changed.
Momo didn't avoid saying what she always wanted to.
The little fox might have her own reasons.
But in terms of sentiment, Ah Qing is the one who treats the little fox best in the College of Agriculture.
Even when busy, Ah Qing would take time to bathe, feed, and massage the little fox.
If the little fox is hiding such an important matter from Ah Qing and deceiving her, it's too much.
Momo feels indignant for Ah Qing.
To hide such a big matter from the one who's best to you...
".... Why can't I say anything?"
Resting on the armrest, Ansheng paused for a moment, then replied: "Your favorite thing is sitting cross-legged on the bed weighing a stress ball, but you're not doing it for love, but because you dislike bras hanging loose feeling heavy..."
The little fox spoke, Momo froze, staring wide-eyed at the little fox with a startled look, said:
"... It's half a cup, don't talk nonsense."
Ansheng didn't reply, instead looked at Lingren sitting in the passenger seat.
"I... I did nothing, don't falsely accuse me of tarnishing a girl's purity." Lingren was in a fluster, covering her chest, blushing from neck to ears.
"You have a pump, your milk cap is inflatable." Ansheng commented on Lingren, then glanced at Yuyu sitting in the back:
"As for Yuyu....."
"Shameless little fox shut up, don't speak..." Yuyu hurriedly reached out to pinch the fox's mouth.
"....."
With her mouth pinched shut, the little fox looked helplessly at Momo, muffledly saying:
"I said, it's really not my intention to hide anything from you, you guys treat me really well, I adore your feeding and petting too...."
"But you're unguarded against the fox, if I were to tell you I can speak, wouldn't it lead us to ruin?"
"Now that you all know, naturally I won't hide it from Ah Qing, but I need your help to help me say it."
The fox sighed, glancing at the car, as the three girls in the vehicle were all flushed red; Momo even turned on the electric car's air conditioning, unzipping her jacket to cool off.
She only feels acutely embarrassed now, vaguely understanding why Xiaolan was unwilling to speak.
It's not that he didn't want to speak.
It's simply that they rendered him speechless.
