Fox Has No Malicious Intent
Chapter 883 - 879: New Nightlife
"There's actually a letter inside, that's rare..."
Ah Qing saw the letter in the delivery box and showed a slightly surprised expression. The last time she saw a handwritten letter, she had to trace back to elementary school, a certain homework assignment.
"Feina... if I remember correctly, this name should belong to the land jellyfish, right?"
Standing behind the little fox, Momo glanced at the letter's content and immediately showed a puzzled expression.
In her mind, she pictured a huge blue jellyfish much larger than Feina. The jellyfish lay sideways on the ground, holding a lottery ticket with a dumbfounded look, scratching its backside with its tentacles, watching TV, and checking the lottery numbers to see if it won.
In Momo's impression, Jellyfish Lady only did three things all day: buy lottery tickets, watch ball games, and sneak into the supermarket to buy snacks.
If the daughter is like this, then Jellyfish Lady's mother must be an enhanced version of Jellyfish Lady.
"Hmm... it's her mom who wrote the letter, saying she's grateful I took in her daughter and even taught her how to get rich betting on the lottery."
Ansheng joked, asking Ah Qing to come over and take out the honey inside, so they could brew a pot of water back in the dormitory to taste its sweetness.
While Ansheng was speaking, she poked her head out to look at the long, narrow package under the cart.
"This is what I asked my family to prepare..." Tang You noticed Huhu looking at the long package and immediately smiled, touching the little fox's back.
"I noticed that little fox doesn't like wandering around the dormitory in winter, so I asked my grandpa to help, ask someone to shear the wool from our sheep and weave it into a carpet."
"That way, Huhu won't have cold feet."
Some areas of Chang'an have centralized heating, but unfortunately, the Xiqi District isn't included. At the Agricultural Research Institute, students rely either on righteousness or heating for warmth.
But the air conditioner, despite its strong wind, cannot make the tile floors warm like underfloor heating.
Therefore, to repay Hu San Ta Ye's previous help with gold and red rewards.
Tang You asked her grandpa to shear the sheep, considering the family has enough space for the sheep to snuggle up with the floor heating.
"Why does this wool carpet look a bit dark..."
Seeing Tang You open the box and pull out the wool carpet from inside, Ansheng's mouth twitched slightly.
The wool carpet was pure white, but mixed with some black wool.
At first glance, Ansheng inexplicably visualized a balding Doran sheep in front of her, smoking.
"Black wool? Maybe... grandpa sheared brother's pet Doran sheep as well?"
"No problem, brother's Doran sheep has top-grade wool and improves the quality."
Tang You looked pensive and said.
The family sheep are all clean white, so if there's black wool, it's definitely from a Doran sheep.
Doran sheep has Siamese cat coloring, grandpa might have casually sheared it along with the others.
"No wonder..."
Ansheng sighed, trailed her hind legs across the wool carpet for sure as Tang You said, the carpet was of very high quality and felt great underfoot.
...
After eating at the cafeteria, Ansheng sat on the cart following Ah Qing back to the dormitory to lay the carpet.
Along the way, passing Spirit Beasts from the Qinling Department stopped and saluted Master Fuli and Ah Qing, addressing them as "Big Bro" and "Big Sis" respectively.
Ah Qing awkwardly responded, nudged the little fox saying, "Xiaolan... if you have a chance, tell them to stop calling us that, it's so embarrassing..."
"Ah Qing, trust me, that's literally the most normal thing they can say."
While the elevator ascended, Ansheng looked at Ah Qing confidently, "I banned certain words. Next, you'll hear terms like 'Adoptive Mother,' 'Super Invincible Thunder Queen,' and so on..."
"Of course, if Ah Qing you like them, I could go over and... huh?"
Ansheng flashed a mischievous fox smile, but before she could finish her banter, Ah Qing blushed and instinctively reached out to pinch the little fox's mouth.
"No... that's definitely no good."
Ah Qing shook her head like a rattle-drum, feeling creeped out by the 'Queen' moniker.
"Big Sis is fine..." Ah Qing muttered.
After helping the little fox lay the carpet in the dormitory, covering the bed and activity area, it was around 8 pm, the start of nightlife.
Ansheng hopped onto Tang You's desk with a satisfied look, ready to command like a cyber emperor, headshot action starring Lord Fox Immortal VS Cyber Immortal.
Only.
Just as Ansheng got on the desk, Tang You pressed escape, exited the game, and looked at the others in the dorm.
"Where are we going tonight?"
"How about an adventure in the fields?" Tang You eagerly proposed.
"That works. The parks are boring anyway, let's run 20 kilometers in the fields tonight, then grab some late-night snacks!" Momo added to tonight's plan while looking at Ah Qing.
As the four chatted away, they took out their sneakers and windbreakers, starting to change gear.
"Where... are you guys heading?"
Seeing Ah Qing and the others change clothes, Ansheng looked a bit astonished.
Usually, this time was when Momo moaned in bed, craving midnight snacks, first overcoming Lingren, then dragging Ah Qing down the rabbit hole, and finally the two setting out with a car to scout for food.
Driving nearby to find something or traveling an hour to visit a trendy shop.
"We're going parkour, Xiaolan want to join?" Ah Qing cheekily invited the little fox.
Since there are still spiritual particles from Spirit Beasts inside, entering a spiritualized state isn't difficult.
But once spiritualized, adapting to the body was the challenge. At night, Ah Qing and the others formed a habit of exercising via parkour while spiritualized.
That elevated feeling, like flying, and the active sensations within the muscle tissues, incredibly fun.
Though Ah Qing couldn't fully transform into Fuli, while spiritualized, her senses became sharp, even vaguely sensing things she couldn't quite describe.
"Are you all living the healthy life now? In your twenties, start with night runs, I beg you all, Ansheng says, if bored, play games or visit Sister Ju's bar to experience human diversity."
Upon hearing about 20-kilometer warm-up runs and something involving aerial parkour, Ansheng's face showed an expression of fox-induced disappointment.
Way too healthy.
This lifestyle wasn't fitting for a fox building winter reserves.
"Join us!" Ah Qing urged as she grabbed the little fox's hand.
"......" Ansheng stayed grounded, her toe pads blooming like plum blossoms against the table surface, with a look of disdain she turned to Ah Qing, "Even though... fox also wants to enjoy running with Ah Qing in the fields, drinking Northwestern winter wind, but I've a meeting at nine, can't go out."
"Old Li should be at school now, I'm heading over to wash my teacup and warm the kettle, discuss some confidential matters..."
"Bye-bye..."
Ansheng's tail coiled around the bedpost, squatted on the table, waving at Ah Qing showing regret.
"We won't make you run, we'll carry you..." Momo chuckled, looking at the little fox.
Meanwhile, from outside the window, came a loud coo.
"Is Master Fuli here? Come out! Wang Ya is about to transform into a vacuum cleaner..." Xiao Hua shouted.
"Are you really going to that meeting? Didn't you just host a seminar?" Ah Qing called out from the balcony, popping her head out, looking at the Fennec Fox downstairs, dressed warmly, driving a remote control car.
"Yes, it's about the trip." Ansheng nodded at Ah Qing, "If you're worried, feel free to come along, nothing terribly confidential will be discussed."
"Old Li's pretty easygoing..."
