"This is what they call 'an eye for an eye, when will it end'! A loaf can't choke a person as much as a grenade..."
Seeing what was happening in the rearview mirror, Ansheng's cheeks showed a comfortable expression as he said, "This isn't like Xia Country where guns are banned. Packing heat is the real deal!"
"Ten thousand bucks, one village, one arms dealer, and one infantry regiment every three days—that fits my worldview."
Although Ansheng didn't want to meddle in other people's business, the actions of these natives really made him uncomfortable; he felt like jumping in and giving each of them a kick in the behind.
Can't you guys lose without running away?
A whole village and no one can be an idea king? He provides the booze, you bring the bottle, and Uncle next door offers a torn rag. Can't that be hand-made into a Molotov cocktail?
"Master Fuli is kind-hearted—"
Lin Ying looked at Master Fuli, raised her thumb straight up, and praised the little fox's kindness fiercely.
"Hoo...you have no idea how uncomfortable I've been here these days. It's not just acclimatization, I feel completely out of sync in worldview with them..."
The little fox climbed onto Lin Ying's shoulder, raised a paw, pointed at the people in the Defense Base, and with a face full of sorrow, complained bitterly.
Originally thinking of breaking into the landowner's lair and blazing a trail, Wish Power would have gone crazy +++.
Yet every one of them chickened out like a grandson, and when asked about anything, there was always only one response:
"Master Fuli is right; I have some maids (US dollars) here, please accept them with a smile."
Foreign land isn't fun at all. Here, ordering takeout needs air shipping; the shipping fee costs more than the takeout itself.
The internet speed is like it's dragged to the crotch level; even swiping short videos can freeze as if it's back to the 3G era.
"And then there's that charlatan; as soon as he sees me, he kneels on the ground wanting to erect a statue and build a temple for me, and drag a bunch of people over to worship."
"It made my fox numb; if there's time to kneel, why not just V me 50...?"
Lin Ying held Fuli in her arms, smiling gently, as she teased the fox's belly fur agreeing with the little fox:
"They are really so bad, just talking away without any real action."
"Soon, we'll head back, and I'll take Master Fuli to eat McDonald's ice cream."
This is probably Master Fuli's first time abroad, and in a remote country no less. Even if not filled with resentment and nowhere to vent, it's still a nightmare for obsessive-compulsives.
Encountering extraordinary things, he wants to rant, but there's not even one person to initiate back and forth banter, and no one comes to pet Huhu at night.
Now with Lin Ying here, Ansheng can finally let out all the pent-up rants from inside.
After teasing the belly, the little fox turned around and willingly exposed its solid back.
"By the way..."
Nesting on Lin Ying's lap enjoying a moment, Ansheng seemed to remember something, ran back to the bus, and after a while came back out calling Lin Wanying onto the bus.
"I'll be leaving soon, this thing is staying with you..."
Ansheng jumped onto the tabletop, raised a paw and patted the bottle neck on the table saying:
"Inside is Huhu Essence, you can use it to command the adjudicator Noren."
"...Huhu Essence?"
Lin Wanying looked at the bottle on the table, full of confusion, then looked at Master Fuli: "So...Master Fuli, are you planning to develop Noren as an underling? Then infiltrate the Mayflower organization and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"
"No..."
Ansheng said very sternly, "The only thing you need to do is call them out again and beat them soundly for me, don't send me souvenirs, and collect intelligence on the Mayflower organization for me."
Ansheng actually had no real interest in the Mayflower.
But Earl, that bastard, still owes him Wish Power without settling, so Ansheng plans to find the code-named Earl's real identity, Lucy No.6, through Noren, and leave two plum blossom paw prints on her butt.
"Oh, alright..." Lin Wanying hugged the scream bottle, nodded seriously and saluted: "Got it, mission accomplished!"
"Alright then, come visit Xia Dong anytime, and Ansheng will take you for a ride on Orca at sea."
Ansheng stood up full of joy, hugged Lin Wanying and bid farewell.
"Hmm...In January, I might go back for a wedding, and I'll visit Master Fuli then..." Lin Wanying also bid farewell to Master Fuli.
"Okay..."
Ansheng got off the bus, wiped his feet at the door, and nested in Lin Ying's arms waiting for the plane.
The transport plane heading to the capital of Naga Country arrived from the horizon and landed at the base.
Master Fuli was on his way home.
Before boarding the plane, Lin Qi called out to Ansheng, looked at him and said:
"I was so busy pretending to be poor just now, I forgot to tell you, the Mayflower organization can't extend its reach to Xia Country, but the most terrifying ability of a cult organization isn't their strength, but their number..."
Lin Qi shrugged saying: "Lots of them doesn't necessarily mean lots of power, but they surely can gossip and stir up trouble."
"Be careful they don't sneak to your house behind your back and file a complaint to your parents that you were biting folks outside..."
"?" Ansheng looked at Lin Qi with a confused expression.
"Come at us sneaky, huh? Call them over, if they can enter our Xia Dong territory, I'll be this ↓!"
Ansheng spat, face dark, "Ask if they're planning to skip Christmas. One day, I'll send a festive King of the Universe right at them."
"Not quite, not quite..." Lin Qi waved his hand, saying it won't go as far as wiping out families, it's just a reminder to Master Fuli about Mayflower's lowest trick.
Can't win now, but in thirty years, he'll incite his son to secretly throw firecrackers into your latrine.
Or incite his godfather's grandson to pull the elastic of his underwear and snap at your window glass.
"Alright, if they make any moves, even if I have trouble pooping, I'll blame them."
Ansheng waved off disdainfully, the fox tail swished behind him, and he nestled atop Lin Ying's shoulder waiting for the plane.
"Does Master Fuli like this type? No wonder my seduction hasn't progressed at all..."
Watching the plane leave, the Little Angel who hadn't spoken, just silently observed, spoke out a speculation while glancing at his own flat chest.
"Mm?"
Lin Qi turned slightly, glanced at the Little Angel, and without any reserve kicked him away:
"Seduce your mom indeed!"
"That's our Lin Clan's Sacred Beast, show some respect! Who wants to be relatives with your kind of psycho!"
...
Boarding the transport plane, heading to Naga Country Airport, transferring to international flights direct to Xia Country's Imperial Capital.
After a dozen hours of flight, Master Fuli returned to the gates of Xinxing Agricultural Science College.
It was evening now, icy winter wind cutting through; the campus at night had no activity, even the Spirit Beasts each found dormitories to boot-kick the doors, slipping in for some classmates' heating.
"Please be advised that dorm 3017's Brother Lei wrote a love letter to his girlfriend admitting his crime of fascination with white silk after a ten-minute cold war with her!"
As Master Fuli just arrived home, took a deep breath, enjoying the pleasant environment, a sudden roar laden with incredible content erupted from the third floor of the boys dormitory.
"Uh....."
Lin Ying paused for a moment upon hearing it, subconsciously looking in the direction of the boys dormitory.
"No wonder it's the College of Agriculture, lively every single day!" Ansheng also heard the shout, but he didn't show surprise, instead, his expression lightened up, he chuckled.
