No problem. Later, I’ll ask the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog to help—fill the smugglers’ trenches with chemical adhesive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you’re asking for comfort, that’s out of the question. You’re covered in chemical adhesive—what if it transfers to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m famously known for earning my meals through my looks. If I lost my fur, wouldn’t the elegant, fluffy Master Fuli turn into a solid rat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aowu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai seemed to sense Fox Brother’s disdain and instantly grew pitiful again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog’s arrangement, Hailinglong’s subordinates, dressed in chemical suits and wearing gloves, approached with small knives, slicing open the adhesive film on Bai’s body and scraping the unhardened glue inside into buckets using scrapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One property of the adhesive is that it swells upon contact with water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than two liters of adhesive, applied to Bai and left to react with seawater over time, yielded nearly thirteen pounds of diluted adhesive after the subordinates worked for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai’s fur was chewed-looking—once-flowing white hair now stood stiffly, as if glued with hair gel; from a distance, one might mistake him for a relative of the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your relative?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai, now mobile and transformed, An Sheng glanced at the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog and muttered sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting a dog this far cleaned is our limit. Go home, shave off all the fur, scrub it with running water and steel wool, and it’ll return to normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog sat with one leg crossed, grinning at the pitiful dog, explaining the situation to everyone present through a translation speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing he’d have to be shaved, the big white dog froze in place, instinctively clamping his legs shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog turned his gaze to Lin Ying and said, \"By the way, Lin Dong, there’s something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Lin Ying frowned at the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our act of bravery has no reward,\" the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog shifted slightly, speaking with a joking tone. \"We’ve been waiting on the shore for half a month, and the credit we earned got snatched away by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those people were just delivery mules. Lin Dong, you know what ‘delivery mule’ means, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While helping Bai smooth his fur, information arrived from the shipyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the six, the two boatmen knew nothing—they thought it was just another ordinary tax-free business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four were delivery mules, paid to transport goods from Point A to Point B within a set time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mules knew about spiritual beasts, so when they spotted Bai, they immediately used the cargo in the hold to try selling him to their employer for a bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s their goal? Is it worth it?\" Lin Ying asked the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog, who held the intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing \"delivery mule,\" Lin Ying immediately realized the matter was large—only an organized, premeditated operation could involve mules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were certainly more than one group of delivery mules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normally, it’s not worth it. Spiritual beasts aren’t unique to Xia Country—there are plenty elsewhere, like in the Amazon rainforest. But according to what the mules revealed, that spiritual beast is a snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pure white, golden-eyed little snake,\" said the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog, smiling strangely at Lin Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People often say the Xia Dong region is superstitious, but given your past studies abroad, Lin Dong, you should know this, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a biological standpoint, a snake is a reptile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from a mystical perspective, the snake symbolizes wisdom and rebirth, as well as temptation and evil, and also healing and medicine. Most notably, every medical school’s emblem features a snake entwined with a staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That object is commonly called the Rod of Asclepius; at first glance, it may seem sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its deeper meaning is that of a god of medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The symbol of that medical god is the snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a person from Xia Country says the Xia Dong people are superstitious, the Xia Dong people might have no rebuttal—after all, some regions in Xia Country truly reject all feudal superstitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if a foreigner says the Xia Dong people are superstitious, they might jump up and curse him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, yes, we’re superstitious—whose president takes an oath while holding a Bible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whose homes avoid the numbers 6 and 13?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who? Do you know? Don’t you know? Come here—I’ll show you the most famous temple in the Xia Dong region: the Martyrs’ Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods of the Xia Dong region all have historical prototypes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"White Snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the Gold-Rimmed Hedgehog name the spiritual beast’s species, Lin Ying’s expression turned to sudden understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a snake, it’s entirely possible to attract bandits with Jiaoxing  psychology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—it’s a 【Snake】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A symbol of wisdom, rebirth, healing, medicine, and luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If its existence were exposed, attracting extreme superstitious individuals wouldn’t be unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are others behind this? Ew,\" An Sheng’s face showed clear disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng sensed this could earn him Wish Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the first time, he expressed simple, blunt disgust toward an opportunity that could earn Wish Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is it so hard for my little fox to earn Wish Points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, I climbed mountains and dove into seas—now I’m being turned into a glue target?
