I don’t see anything special about it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Wang Qiqi’s guidance, An Sheng had toured the classroom buildings and experimental fields, and before he knew it, arrived at the dormitory opposite the cafeteria. An Sheng scrutinized the layout of the girls’ dorm with a gossiping expression, occasionally poking and tapping the furniture with his little paws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls’ dorm layout was extremely simple: four custom-made wardrobes stood on either side of the entrance; further inside, four lacquered solid-wood bunk beds were visible. The lower bunks served as desks and bookshelves, while the upper bunks were for sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further inside was a large balcony, with a full-length mirror mounted on the wall, two washbasins fixed onto a marble countertop, and across from the sink stood the toilet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four-person dorm appeared to be about thirty square meters. Since An Sheng had no dorm experience, he couldn’t judge whether thirty square meters was large or small—he could only say the dorm conditions were passable, with all necessary items present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But An Sheng was very dissatisfied with the bunk beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students sleep on the top tier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re making things hard for me, An!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you know Master Fuli’s legs and arms are short? You’re forcing me to jump up to bed—are you trying to scare me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is Master Fuli doing?” Wang Qiqi peered into the dorm from the doorway, glancing at Lin Ying, then at Master Fuli, who was pushing a chair back and forth, her expression slightly odd as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Fuli is inspecting the dorm conditions. From past experience, he returns home at night to sleep with Yu Xueqing,” Lin Ying said, looking at Master Fuli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your way of getting along is truly harmonious,” Wang Qiqi muttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Master Fuli really like Yu Xueqing so much that he came all the way from afar to Changancheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying fell silent briefly, then glanced sideways at Wang Qiqi and said coolly, “It’s less about liking and more about a certain compatibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Ying had never interacted with Yu Xueqing, they both lived in the village of Zhangxizhen—some things could be learned by asking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Yu Xueqing had been livestreaming constantly, and Lin Ying would watch during her free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing seemed naturally endowed with a certain affinity, able to coexist peacefully with animals—even when animals didn’t speak, she understood their thoughts and intentions perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s presence was like that of a Bo Le: she made others feel as if they had found a kindred spirit, or perhaps a profound unspoken understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no surprise that Master Fuli loved to kiss Yu Xueqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Got beaten up by a fox?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Master Fuli was touring the campus facilities and critiquing everything as “un-foxlike,” in the panda conservation base behind the Nongxue Academy, a panda wearing khaki suspenders sat beside a stream, staring in shock at Jin Qianbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does that even make sense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a leopard! Sure, you get robbed by bears, tigers, and wolf packs in the forest—but how could you possibly get beaten by a fox?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The khaki panda looked utterly bewildered and even humanly scratched behind his ear, as if verifying whether this was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That fox belonging to Xia Dong is very much like you—both are human-society-specialized types, but his level of specialization is clearly higher than yours,” Jin Qianbao said, waving a paw as he comfortably lay down on the panda’s bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He grabbed a whole tree and swung it at me, all while yelling insults in human speech—tell me, is that not absurd?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The khaki panda pondered for a moment, then asked Jin Qianbao, “Are you suggesting we team up and go reclaim your honor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his round eyes held a trace of caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Sichuan-Chongqing pandas who clocked in daily for performances, the Qinling pandas didn’t have fixed schedules—but neither did they get food and drinks delivered by humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All pandas in the Qinling Conservation Area had to fend for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent all year chasing bamboo across the mountains, or, when starving, diving into rivers to catch fish and drink broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The khaki panda felt sympathy and outrage over Jin Qianbao’s plight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But going into the city to fight? No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I worked so hard just to get my official position—if I caused trouble in the city and the inspectors came, they’d confiscate my salary card for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the inspectors’ sour faces, the khaki panda’s cheeks visibly twisted with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the lumberjacks in charge of violence in the [Pest and Disease Control Expert Group] were terrifying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the inspectors who controlled evaluations and audits were the real gods—if they caught any violation, they truly would confiscate your salary card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not that bored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Qianbao looked at the giant panda with a disgusted expression. “I came to you to tell you about the fox. His partner is a student at the Nongxue Academy. For the next year, except during statutory holidays, that fox will be wandering around your territory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve tested his strength—he nearly turned my leopard head into a steamed bun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep your underlings in check, so there’s no unnecessary conflict.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fuli has already been registered in the system, meaning he passed the safety assessment. Even though we’re not in the same system, there’s no need to treat him with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory of the new Nongxue Academy belongs to the khaki panda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Qianbao came over just to give a heads-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry! Fat Cat here is a very mature cat now—I never judge things by social status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human-society-specialized panda grinned and immediately replied to Jin Qianbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Territory? Who cares about territory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting over it just means control rights—and with my high salary and salary card, I could buy an island!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can also tell the fox about Qinling matters—he’s a complicated character; maybe he can solve it,” Jin Qianbao added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qinling” is just two characters, but it covers 400,000 square kilometers, stretching over 1,600 kilometers from east to west, and ranging from dozens to hundreds of kilometers in width.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Changancheng doesn’t manage the entire Qinling mountain range alone, the lumberjacks and forest rangers under Changancheng’s jurisdiction cover a vast area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a vast wilderness, it’s no surprise that strange and rare spiritual beasts emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or rather, over the past six months, there have been several abnormal animal migrations in the Qinling direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something predatory—a spiritual beast overlord—must have emerged within Qinling to trigger such disturbances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But forest rangers, using cameras and drone aerial surveys, have found no trace of that spiritual beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Qianbao cannot leave the city at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The khaki panda’s primary duty is ensuring the safety of the research institute and university students—he cannot wander off either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, until the source of the disturbance is found, neither of them can leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I understand what you mean,” Fat Cat nodded knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll say everything I can, and if I can’t say it outright, I’ll mention it casually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just want me to list the unruly spiritual beasts and drop hints to the fox now and then, so he has somewhere to vent his energy, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1204,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1faa21995867fec35ad5367ac513211b3cdbc6436d6f0a6db04268a945086f9e","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-270","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-268",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
