Fu Li Lao Ye is expensive—don’t let him get hurt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu Li! Mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing hugged the little fox tightly, sat down on a small stool, and rested her chin on An Sheng’s head, muttering gloomily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei both froze; Yu Zhenghong looked utterly baffled: “Xiao Qing, what do you mean by—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing says the fox is hers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, both Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei wore expressions of utter incomprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind whether that insane watch—capable of flying to heaven like a god, priced at four million—is real or fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei had already verified: the fox’s jacket and pet collar were genuine, brand-new items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A joint-venture car was parked in front of that fox!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing couldn’t even afford to touch those things in person, let alone buy them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s Xiao An. He’s the one I raised.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing hugged An Sheng tightly: “Dad, don’t you remember when I just came back a while ago and asked you about foxes? I was asking for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said Fu Li Lao Ye can’t be kept, that foreign devil fox spirits are evil and shouldn’t be believed in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.?! ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong’s eyes widened—he suddenly recalled something from half a month ago. Xiao Qing really had asked him about fox spirits back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Yu Xueqing’s confession, the living room of the self-built house fell into an eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei couldn’t help speaking: “Xiao Qing—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing puffed out her cheeks, opened her Moments feed, and held it up to her mother’s face—row after row of photos showed her intimately with the little fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t doubt you, Xiao Qing,” Chen Peipei said, not glancing at the phone but locking eyes with her daughter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m asking you—where did the things on Fu Li Lao Ye—no, Xiao An—come from? That jacket of his was made from an ultra-expensive leather bag.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t stop you from keeping any pet you like, but you must promise to tell me honestly where Xiao An’s belongings came from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei spoke rapidly, her tone already edged with urgency and accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, keep the pet if you like! But where did Xiao An’s luxury items come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t even say they’re fake—if the craftsmanship matches the real thing, the price can’t be low!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei feared her daughter had done something foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing shook her head: “This morning, Xiao An was completely bare. But when I heard Dad was coming over for lunch, I secretly hid him on the third floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao An said he slipped out while we were eating to take a dump, then met an auntie—and suddenly he was like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing didn’t hide anything—she told her parents every detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reporting to the Public Security Bureau was no longer a minor matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Yu Xueqing didn’t want to waste public resources out of fear and hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She naturally didn’t blame Xiao An for running off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, she was just afraid her father would scold her—and worse, that he’d send Xiao An to a breeding farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she chose to confess outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An auntie put those on him?” Chen Peipei stared at Xiao Qing, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked from Xiao Qing to the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox was pure white, flawless, with jet-black, glossy nose and upturned eyes—his appearance was simply peerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that’s what you say,” Chen Peipei shook her head. “Ask Xiao An if he can find that auntie—we’ll return everything right away. Those items are far too valuable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei knew her daughter had the strange gift of communicating with animals, so she spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qing—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the mother and daughter now openly discussing the matter and clarifying the full story, Yu Zhenghong paused, then asked Yu Xueqing several crucial questions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you picked up the fox, did you check if your Bazi  matched his?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could he bring you misfortune? What aspects could he enhance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, most importantly—does that white Fu Li have a birth date and address? I want to—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Yu Zhenghong could finish, the fox, who had been sitting quietly in Yu Xueqing’s lap, suddenly wriggled free, landed on the floor, and launched a rocket-headbutt straight into Yu Zhenghong’s crotch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old thief! Stop your yapping!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng, who had been enjoying his caretaker’s affection and savoring Yu Xueqing’s soft food, flew into rage the moment he heard the old man spreading superstition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I enhance what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I enhance nothing—I specifically curse males and love smashing superstitious old men!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old thief! Yell! Yell louder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng rammed his forehead into Yu Zhenghong’s crotch again, knocking the old man onto the fabric sofa, then leapt up and followed with a fox-carrot charge, delivering a second impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fox tail whip—its white tip forming a full moon—slapped across Yu Zhenghong’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying ying ying ying—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox’s furious yelps and Yu Zhenghong’s muffled, tearful screams echoed through the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qing—don’t come pull us apart! Don’t risk damaging the fox’s things—I can’t afford to pay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch—the fox’s paws have gold on them—pain—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peipei looked at Yu Xueqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing opened her mouth, then closed it, speaking timidly: “Xiao An—he’s extremely human-like. He seems to know Dad was just talking badly about him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong spent the entire time clutching his crotch and dodging, never once thinking of fighting back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a wild, vengeful temperament—clearly a domestic silver fox breed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Taoist tradition, he’d be a true Fox Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from cultural taboos, the real reason Yu Zhenghong dared not retaliate was his fear of damaging the fox’s luxury items—two footprints on his pants were better than paying tens of thousands in compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only the fox would take off his “immortality amulet,” Yu Zhenghong believed he could easily overpower him with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that’s what Yu Zhenghong thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But An Sheng was also holding back, careful not to damage the borrowed items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng didn’t know their prices, but they were borrowed—any scratch or dent would be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying! Ying ying—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng snorted in disdain, turned, and scampered straight to Yu Xueqing, climbing up her clothes to perch on her shoulder, glaring fiercely at Yu Zhenghong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking logic to these superstitious old men was pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a top-tier state-level fox—I hit him, so what? You expect a fox to pay you medical bills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft! Do you even have a face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s wish came true: summoning her courage, she drew Frost’s Sorrow, took the white fox’s plush paw in front of her superstitious father, and declared boldly: “The white fox is mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Power +1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Two punches and the old man’s already cowed?” Two lines of text suddenly appeared in An Sheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading them, An Sheng felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’d known the old man was so easy to beat, I wouldn’t have gone through all that indirect saving-the-country nonsense—I should’ve kicked his bell right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was just what An Sheng assumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real reason was Yu Xueqing’s brave confrontation with Yu Zhenghong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing was a good girl—extremely good, so obedient that Yu Zhenghong couldn’t help worrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t praise—on the contrary, Yu Zhenghong deeply disliked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What passed for “extremely well-behaved” was really just a lack of will, a lack of ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely Yu Xueqing’s firm stance that made Yu Zhenghong choose to yield—he didn’t want to crush her spirit; he wanted her to truly grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requesting monthly votes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0d2bd6e64d421109b228af05933139714448c7a9a46dcb1c771fdd5cc100454a","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-17","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-15",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
