I feel your software needs an update.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Xueqing’s hand nearly shoving itself into his mouth, An Sheng couldn’t help but complain, lifting his hind leg to brace against her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more An Sheng resisted, the more Yu Xueqing became convinced that little An truly couldn’t refuse such generous hospitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing glanced at Bai, who had followed little An back, and asked: “Did you two really not steal anything while you were out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Xueqing spoke to Bai, a strange image suddenly flashed in her mind: herself and Fuli Brother entering the mountains, then spotting a dog gorging itself—its face beaming as it politely invited her and Fuli Brother to join the feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai’s eyes widened in horror; he frantically shook his head at Yu Xueqing’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Bai the dog was so terrified by the forced image intrusion into his mind that he froze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good—no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing looked at little An and exhaled in relief, patting the fox’s belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what did you two get up to? You reek of firecrackers and fireworks—so nasty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she stroked the returning fox, scratching its increasingly plump chin, Yu Xueqing asked with a cheerful grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying ying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng waved his paw, signaling that Yu Xueqing didn’t need to worry about the fox—he was perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget about us—did the fishermen catch any fish yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng turned over, lying on Yu Xueqing’s lap, watching the newly started afternoon livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the livestream, as free gifts and likes piled up, viewership surged rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the host returned, the chat exploded with questions asking if the host had eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The double meaning made An Sheng’s face turn black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fish? No fish caught! Everyone in the stream came to watch fights. This morning alone, over twenty rods exploded—four Shimano, two with English-brand names, and over ten rods from some ‘Tang’ brand monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing little An ask about fish to eat, Yu Xueqing sighed and explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the river made no sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the fish here just ate bait—but today, for some reason, they started eating carbon-fiber rods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From 9:30 a.m., right after An Sheng left, until noon, in less than five hours, over twenty rods exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yu Xueqing didn’t know rod prices well, she guessed Shimano and those English-brand rods must’ve been expensive—when they blew, the fishermen immediately flew into a rage and jumped into the river to fight the fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than five hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four major human-fish battles had already broken out, three ending in human defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only victory? A fitness-obsessed fisherman carried off a fifty-plus-pound black carp—on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literally walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d arrived in an SUV, but after hooking the fish, he hired a driver and carried the fish home himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later fishermen claimed the victor went straight to the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just slung the giant black carp on his back, walking through the crowd like a lone, peerless swordmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His SUV trailed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really happening?” An Sheng blurted, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So your livestream’s nearly thirty thousand real-time viewers—they didn’t come to watch fishing. They came to watch rods explode and fishermen brawl with fish, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is insane—people fighting fish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened on the Changle River would shake An Sheng for a whole year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah! My 13,000-yuan DA!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before An Sheng could recover from the human-fish brawl, a thunderous explosion ripped from the riverbank—a carbon-fiber rod over six meters long shattered into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fisherman, stunned, his sun-baked face already dark, flushed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lunged, leaping onto the stone railing and delivering a brutal elbow strike straight at the fish still bubbling on the water’s surface after snapping his rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Splash—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood of virtual gifts flooded Yu Xueqing’s livestream, viewers screaming for her to zoom in—they wanted to see blood flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s content was so fresh, nearly all viewers had never seen anything like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ooooh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing another man jump into the river, Yu Xueqing rushed her phone to the bank and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t go too far! The village chief just said at lunch—he’ll drain the whole river if someone gets hurt, and treat everyone to sour cabbage fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief Yu Xueqing mentioned was Chen Zhi’s father, the current strongest hunter of the Changping Mountain Chen clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pop pop pop—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A goby over two meters long, weighing well over 130 jin, slammed the fisherman down with a dragon-leap maneuver, gulped down two mouthfuls of river water, then turned to Yu Xueqing and nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t hurt people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their grandmaster, Taigong, had ordered them to play with the fishermen here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fisherman, still red-faced and furious, had no time to strike again—when a hooked pole from the dock yanked him back onto land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a break! That’s a bull-sized goby!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man Chen Zhi had stationed at the dock grinned at the enraged fisherman:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax—it’s just a 13,000-yuan DA. You’re not alone; you’ve already blown two rods this morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wuuuuh…” The fisherman was crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rods aren’t disposable—fishermen buy expensive, high-quality ones for durability and resale value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you patch them after explosion, their resale value plummets to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying ying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng, nestled in Yu Xueqing’s arms, stared blankly at the human-fish battle, then at the livestream flooding with gifts and donations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing—buy me two bottles of cola, and I’ll help you summon more giant fish to humiliate these fishermen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if gifts are cheap, a dime or a penny is still love, right? Viewers love this—I’ll go find two two-hundred-jin monsters to walk around for them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng wasn’t sure if two-hundred-jin fish even existed in the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if not, he could always ask the orca family for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered right, orcas could survive in freshwater for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Yu Xueqing reel in a whale, and the livestream’s spectacle would be beyond anything An Sheng could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0f469c29ebc072af2c84590b8c43bab3c7c10afc384b7a08f97084585153999b","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-227","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-225",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
