Chapter 229: Settlement and So Spicy

"Fat ones sent to the mountains, thin ones sent to the garden."

"Five hundred yuan."

After leaving the Forestry Bureau, Aqing's wallet had gained four thousand yuan in bonus money.

But Aqing's thoughts were clearly not on the bonus from the Forestry Bureau; her eyes were fixed on Xiang Xiaoan, who lay on her lap, acting cute and silly.

The foxes shown in short videos before were mostly imported pets, not native foxes.

Aqing had originally thought Xiang Xiaoan was just fat because he was greedy and loved cola.

But today, Aqing had seen with her own eyes the famous fat, broad-bodied Xia State red fox.

Xiang Xiaoan's girth was clearly less than that of the opposing Xia State red fox—perhaps because he was just an adult, and his physical development hadn't fully caught up. But everything else was identical, especially those pointed ears.

"Don't stare. No exaggeration, no lies—purely authentic Xia North Asian albino red fox, with Beijing household registration." An Sheng grinned, lifting his little foot to nudge Aqing.

"Hehe, you're too late to realize now. Do you know what crime you've committed? You kidnapped Guo Er. Your only way out is to resist to the end and keep it secret."

"Go! Go fetch me a cold cola!"

Aqing might have guessed her status as Guo Er.

But An Sheng didn't care much—he figured if he revealed his Guo Er status, Aqing would show up the next day in a maid outfit and raise his food allowance by two hundred yuan.

Impossible.

His food allowance would stay exactly the same. Who knew? If Aqing found out he was a protected animal, she might cut his cola rations and force him to exercise.

"Xiang Xiaoan!"

Aqing, sitting in the front passenger seat, looked at the fat, broad-bodied Xiang Xiaoan and spoke seriously:

"Starting tomorrow, to ensure your health and your fox life, I'm cutting your daily cola from 150 milliliters to 100 milliliters, your pork belly from eight pieces to four, increasing lean meat, adding more vegetables, extra fruit and meat jerky, and increasing exercise time."

"Are you updating Earth OL here? I just thought about it in my head, and you actually implemented it?" An Sheng's expression changed instantly as he protested.

Thirty-nine degrees Celsius.

I work outdoors every day, and my cola has been cut from six hundred milliliters to one hundred fifty—that's one can, I drink half, Aqing drinks half.

Speak up! You're just greedy—you're using the excuse of saving my life to cut my cold cola!

An Sheng rose up in rebellion, overthrowing Aqing's tyranny.

…………

Before An Sheng revealed his identity,

Aqing would soften at the sight of the little fox's cute begging and let him drink cola.

But now it's different—the little fox is Guo Er, a threatened or endangered species. Kill one, and the entire family lineage could be erased.

For Xiang Xiaoan's health and his lineage's sake,

Aqing planned to gradually reduce cola, add green, healthy plants, transition him to Sprite with lower sugar, and ultimately wean him off entirely.

She wouldn't give him any drinks.

He couldn't swipe her bank card, could he?

Aqing silently praised her own cleverness and marveled at her luck and responsibility.

She picked up a polar fox by the roadside, and after raising it, it turned into a Xia South Asian albino red fox—what luck.

But she had no intention of surrendering him; they had lived side by side, slept in the same bed, for nearly two months and had grown attached.

Surrendering him was out of the question.

But Aqing felt she had an obligation to contribute to wildlife conservation.

That meant pushing Xiang Xiaoan to exercise, secretly taking him into the forest to breed, making an extraordinary contribution to the future Xia South Asian red fox population!

When she had money, she'd donate generously to nature conservation—or secretly build him a little fox harem in the forest.

She'd claim every little fox for him.

Hmm! Work hard! Aqing thought to herself.

…………

As Aqing brought the little fox home, bathed him, and lay on the bed, the day passed.

That night, Mo Yiqing slept with her rear end raised the entire time.

No choice—too much spicy heat had swollen her buttocks.

As usual, she woke up sweating profusely; Mo Yiqing had suffered dearly from the chili peppers.

"Xiao'an, you must work hard to strengthen your body—you can't let laziness wipe out your entire clan; the entire family's household registration rests on you." In her dream, Yu Xueqing gazed at the plump fox with a cola in one paw and a skewer of fried snacks in the other, earnestly urging him to exercise—she had already prepared a harem to give to the little fox.

【Wish achieved: Xiang Xiaoan must get fit.】

"Huh?"

Around 2: 0 a. ., An Sheng, just returned home after eating late-night snacks, looked at his wish list and saw three black lines faintly appear on his cheek as he muttered:

"Can't you, in your dreams, wish for me to have it better—get a luxury car, arrange a private jet? Why can't you dream of something ambitious?"

"Exercise? What foxes exercise? Being fat and broad-bodied is what wins Sister's tips, don't you get it?"

An Sheng grumbled about Aqing's dream, then settled into the perfect little nest he'd made between Aqing and Mo Yiqing, ready to sleep.

But before sleeping, An Sheng opened his wish list to check the records.

He'd been busy scamming tips and then visiting the Forestry Bureau.

He hadn't had time to check the wish power from the hyena incident today.

【One land nurtures one people. Foreign devils invade Xia Dong's land, attempting to kidnap the spirit beasts nurtured by Xia Dong's soil. Fu Li Lao Ye waves his hand, summoning the spirit beast army to crush the devils' plot, carving out a grand villa right inside their asses. Your ferocity proves your integrity—you live up to the name of Lao Ye.】

【Wish power +3】

【Wish power +2】

"Huh? Are they splitting the settlement?" An Sheng stared at the wish power total and the detailed description, momentarily stunned, murmuring to himself.

An Sheng tapped to open the wish power details.

【Wish power +3】—as expected, from me brutally beating the hyena and sending him to jail.

And 【Wish power +2】 came from the poaching gang.

According to the details, one of the poachers had seen Fu Li's grandeur, been terrified, and confessed something to the Anquan Bureau—something beneficial to Xia Dong's homeland, hence 【Wish power +2】.

"One incident, five wish power total—that's pretty comfortable." Seeing the wish power settlement, An Sheng smiled. Based on past experience, if he pushed harder, he'd reach four-tailed level soon.

Then he'd get new changes.

He just didn't know what he'd turn into.

"Aaah—"

An Sheng had just been imagining what changes he'd get when he reached four tails.

Suddenly, Aqing in the next bed jolted awake, eyes wide, face filled with terror.

Aqing gasped for breath, staring at Xiang Xiaoan beside her.

An Sheng and Mo Yiqing were both startled awake by Aqing's sudden scream.

"Ugh, sleeping on my stomach hurts my chest." Mo Yiqing rubbed her chest, half-mumbling as she looked at Aqing, wide-eyed beside her: "Nightmare?"

"Mm."

Aqing calmed herself slightly, speaking with lingering fear:

"I dreamed Xiang Xiaoan had lots of little foxes with other foxes."

"I couldn't handle them all."

"They whimpered, licking your crease—I couldn't stop them."

"They kept saying 'Ha si ha si,' something about 'so spicy'—it was terrifying! Xiang Xiaoan, just have three or five litters, don't have too many—I can't take care of them all!"

"Huh?" Mo Yiqing blinked: "What's this got to do with me?"

An Sheng's lip twitched; he said nothing: "..."
