The air conditioning was clearly set too high, and combined with the ring light and the heat radiating off Mo Yiqing herself, the temperature felt even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mo Yiqing opened the door, An Sheng immediately felt a wave of heat rush toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing’s bare feet left mist-like footprints on the cool ceramic tiles; her snow-white skin glowed with a faint pink hue, exuding elegance and sensuality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the professional ring light, a low table beside the yoga mat held two smartphones and a DSLR camera of a brand An Sheng didn’t recognize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is off… nine out of ten parts are off!” Even though An Sheng hadn’t stepped inside yet, his sharp fox nose caught a whiff of something wrong:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I could just sleep under the bed tonight—I don’t even need to shower! Sorry to bother you, I’m leaving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the ring light, the DSLR, and Mo Yiqing’s inherent narcissistic charm, An Sheng could already piece together the likely scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably, after finishing her workout, Mo Yiqing noticed how radiant her skin looked—pale with a flush, glowing with moisture—and fell in love with herself again, craving a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox tried to leave, but Mo Yiqing held onto his tiny paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve come all this way—why not come in and sit for a bit? Auntie Mo has lots of tasty snacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing tugged at the fox’s paw. She could see the little fox’s disgusted expression, could see his hind legs and one paw scrabbling at the floor, subtly trying to retreat—but still, she held his paw and patted his rump, urging him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Let me be clear: photos are fine, but as a morally upright fox, I won’t participate in any AV shoots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox spoke with righteous indignation, yet his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the two smartphones on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing had two phones: one for daily use, and another offline storage device where she kept her photos—including some sensual ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox glanced over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Album]: 60,000 photos, 1,000 videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing didn’t notice; she simply slipped on the fox ear clips Yu Xueqing had left behind, one hand braced on the yoga mat near the little fox, the other holding the DSLR.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on! Little fox, smile for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm…” The little fox’s face drooped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you on your period? Doing such vigorous movements—aren’t you afraid of leaks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox mentally grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mo Yiqing finished taking photos and dragged the little fox into the bathroom to bathe, An Sheng’s day ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai drove the large boat speeding across the sea; inside the cabin, besides the dog, were four or five tons of frozen meat and over three hundred pounds of assorted vegetables and fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao sat inside the cabin too, his eyes covered with a black cloth, hugging a velvet nest in which lay a hedgehog, dressed in a nightgown and unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hedgehog grandmother’s nightgown was barely a nightgown—it was essentially two scarves stitched together with staples and tape, hastily assembled for warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai stood on his hind legs and howled like a wolf, the amplified sound echoing across the open sea, where the dogs began howling in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao, still blindfolded by the dogs, arrived at the ocean-view villa. Jinmao Shi had already gathered the monkey troop and other predators to wait there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Jinmao Shi’s odd stare, Bai pushed the blindfolded Lin Hao into the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean villa looked ordinary from the outside, but its highlight was the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire basement was submerged underwater, constructed entirely of high-strength glass, with spotlights installed outside to attract phototactic fish, allowing tourists to observe native marine life up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai turned on the spotlights, illuminating the pitch-black seabed and drawing in the recently traded orcas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai removed Lin Hao’s blindfold. Sensing the sudden bright light, Lin Hao instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes. Once his eyes adjusted to the intense glow of the underwater villa’s spotlights, he finally saw his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw them, the entertainment city prince couldn’t help trembling in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his left was Bai, a white wolf nearly the size of a compact car; to his right was Jinmao Shi, a lion the size of a full-size SUV. Outside the completely transparent glass walls, dozens of killer whales, six to seven meters long, glided past—among them, one measured over ten meters, larger than the entire underwater viewing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai turned to Lin Hao and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hao clearly didn’t understand—but Bai wasn’t speaking to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhi zhi zhi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-edged hedgehog, who had been feigning unconsciousness, suddenly opened its eyes, surveying the underwater villa with a hint of awe. It sat upright, raised a paw to its forehead, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...You can have the city territory if you want. But all this open expansion and troop buildup—aren’t you worried about attracting trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the time the golden-edged hedgehog pretended to be unconscious,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it had already figured out why the fox and the dogs had caused trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dominant force in the city, even though it rarely interfered in daily affairs, every animal in that vast region looked up to the golden-edged hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the fox, nor Jinmao Shi, nor even Bai could command the city’s animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This frustrated the fox’s plan: he couldn’t build an intelligence network in Jule City where, whenever a spirit beast showed its head, he’d rush over with a punch and earn 【Virtue +3】—then leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also prevented Bai from leading his pack of stray dogs to scavenge food in the city, leaving the dogs starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-edged hedgehog didn’t care about those animals—it didn’t operate on An Sheng’s model at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recruited mounts and subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind the scenes, it controlled its minions, building its own entertainment and commercial empire within the human city, enjoying its leisure time—even having human subordinates roll its cigarettes and light them for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your territory is ours now. Fox Boss says if you come looking for trouble, try it—we’ll capsize your boat out at sea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai barked “Wang” to relay Fox Boss’s message to the golden-edged hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t give me that nonsense I don’t understand. Bottom line: we’re taking your territory. You’re also helping feed these starving brothers on Qing’ao Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frozen pig feet and chicken feet, chicken giblets—easy to find. But the vegetables these monkeys eat? We can’t get them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a fine Fox Boss—robbery, and you make it sound righteous!” The golden-edged hedgehog squeaked, its face darkening. “You’re counting on us being unable to beat you, too scared to call the police, and you’ve even exposed our home address, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai nodded as if it were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fox Boss said all their money was earned through immoral means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re now acting on Heaven’s behalf. As long as we don’t hurt humans, the law we follow is the Wildlife Protection Act. If they report us, they’re violating the Criminal Code—we’re not afraid of trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones truly afraid are them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","42699c9a1858325e37419d72b2f54fa4c34a06c9e27974f9bd1a6ec1f431ba78","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-165","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-163",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
