Chapter 1153

At the time, Lin Cheng was far away, but up close, this blue fox was undoubtedly the perfect pet—its appearance alone was beyond reproach.

"Everyone's here? That's wonderful!" Xiao Hong affectionately licked the fur of some adult blue foxes; whether cats or foxes, it was always the higher-ranking who licked the lower-ranking, to show affection.

Even more surprisingly, Yun Shang was among the blue foxes—two pink foxes stood out sharply amid the blue ones.

Isn't Lu Lan City still under lockdown?

How did she get out?

"What are you doing here? Aren't you keeping company with your lover?" Lin Cheng walked up to Yun Shang to speak.

"He only cares for Rong Rong—he doesn't love me at all. I've returned to the blue fox territory and plan to lead my people to find a more suitable place to live," Yun Shang replied coldly, her tone of disgust clearly indicating she didn't want to mention Yun Mo.

"Perfect. Xiao Hong has something to discuss with you, and luckily, I can provide you with a suitable habitat. What do you say?"

Lin Cheng automatically narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Unfortunately, to Yun Shang, that smile looked exactly like Yun Mo's second deceitful face—she immediately grew wary and bluntly refused.

"No. I'll decide where my blue fox clan settles. No outsider has a say."

"Really?" Lin Cheng's face still wore a smile.

"The place I offer has no predators—it's a haven where your blue fox clan can live happily and healthily!"

Yun Shang hesitated.

What if Lin Cheng was telling the truth?

Right now, the blue fox clan truly needed such a predator-free place where they could breed and thrive in peace.

"Talk it over with Xiao Hong. I'll go check out other areas." Lin Cheng had spotted a blue fox eating a yellow fruit as big as a child's arm.

Such a large fruit was rare—was this some alternate-world version of a giant cucumber?

Perhaps because Lin Cheng came with Xiao Hong, or perhaps because he radiated a natural aura that made creatures feel at ease, his approach didn't disturb the eating fox.

As he drew closer, he realized the yellow fruit the blue fox was gnawing wasn't a cucumber he knew—inside the thin yellow rind was a mass of white, fluffy fibers, and within those fibers were countless brown seeds the size of a thumb.

· ·······Requesting flowers····· ·····

Though the yellow fruit was as large as a child's arm, its rind was paper-thin.

The white fluffy fibers inside were sparse, but the seeds packed within were countless.

The blue foxes ate only the seeds—savoring them with great delight, growing more energetic the more they ate, unable to stop.

Was this what the blue foxes considered "melon seeds"?

And even addictive?

Lin Cheng didn't want to dig deeper—he turned around and found two pink foxes standing right before him, staring at each other, awkwardly silent.

One was Yun Shang, slightly embarrassed—she had flatly rejected Lin Cheng's offer earlier, but now, after hearing from her sister about the paradise he possessed, she deeply regretted it.

Now, under her sister's guidance, she had come back to negotiate again about the blue foxes' future home.

Xiao Hong broke the silence first.

"Lin Cheng, are you interested in the kudou?"

"Huh?"

"The yellow fruit you were just looking at—we blue foxes only eat the seeds. Though bitter, they make us exhilarated and suppress hunger. One kudou fruit can keep a blue fox full for a whole day."
