Chapter 289: Ding! Next Stop: Fox Farm

“Hehehe, Xiao’an, are you happy? There are so many little foxes here~”

Yu Xueqing stroked the little fox’s head, smiling happily at him.

As a little fox, An Sheng had no friends in the modern city; ordinary pets people kept were on the fox’s menu, not the other way around.

An Sheng’s only friends were humans, and humans mostly just craved his fluffiness and softness.

Yu Xueqing never imagined there could be something like a Fox Kingdom in Changancheng.

At four hundred per person, the cost was already very high for Yu Xueqing. Though her audio account now had six hundred thousand followers, all those followers had grown this month, and the tips wouldn’t be paid out until next month at the earliest.

Followers don’t bring money—only product sales and ads do.

Yu Xueqing hadn’t received a single ad deal or any contract offers so far.

Her live-streaming tips this month, after taxes, would net her ninety thousand yuan.

But she planned to pay Mo Mo seventy thousand yuan back—Mo Mo had genuinely spent over a hundred thousand to boost her rankings.

The rest would go to An Sheng’s salary and to buy the livestreaming equipment for Yun Tai.

All her product sales revenue went to her parents, to save for her dowry.

After all, in Zhangxizhen, the custom was that the dowry was double the bride price—you had to prepare early, in case the groom’s side pulled a loan-and-all-in move.

Even though Yu Xueqing’s account had taken off, she was still completely broke.

“What’s so special about foxes?” An Sheng, perched on Yu Xueqing’s shoulder, grumbled:

“If you want to see foxes, why not just look in the mirror? Miss Zhiyu’s house has hundreds of my doppelgängers!”

As An Sheng spoke, he suddenly froze, his lips twitching as he stared at Yu Xueqing.

Oh right! Didn’t you forget something?

But since you didn’t ask, I won’t say anything.

…………

The four people and the fox chattered together, finalizing their travel itinerary: Yu Xueqing would buy tickets and book entry for tomorrow, Mo Shengjie would cover tonight’s accommodation and dinner, Tang You would handle snacks for shopping, and Ling Ren would pay for the park attractions.

They negotiated quickly, with the efficiency of seasoned workers—each task was assigned and scheduled within minutes.

Mo Shengjie made one phone call, and less than half an hour later,

his cousin Mo Shengjie pulled up to campus in a new energy vehicle with temporary plates.

“Hey! Ah Jie, we’re over here!”

Mo Shengjie spotted the car with temporary plates, walked out from the dorm area, and waved at it.

“I don’t know why, but every time I see Mo Mo’s boyfriend, I get this feeling—he might be the type to steal my C-cup panties and wear them at night.”

As Mo Shengjie stepped out of the car, grinning to greet Mo Mo, Ling Ren, standing under the eaves, muttered to Yu Xueqing and Tang You.

To Ling Ren, Mo Shengjie always looked like a fellow townsman from Wan Zhai Ma Tou.

“He’s not bad—looks refined, dresses well, like a star straight out of a drama,” Yu Xueqing said, glancing at Mo Shengjie.

Everyone knew Mo Shengjie well—he wasn’t from their school, but he showed up almost every week at the New Agricultural Academy to wait for Mo Mo.

Their impression of him: rich, a perfect match for Mo Mo, and quite handsome.

So when they saw him approaching, they didn’t interrupt the couple’s chat.

But Yu Xueqing, Ling Ren, and Tang You didn’t know that Mo Mo’s relationship with him was only surface-deep.

“Pull your underwear up a bit—your purple panties are showing.”

Mo Mo kept a cheerful smile on her face, but nearly growled: “Cousin, you’re so flashy!”

“No problem—I’m not afraid of people seeing. I’m a straight man, I don’t mind showing off,” Mo Shengjie said, glancing back at his butt, unconcerned. “By the way, I bought the car—insurance, plates, registration—all totaled forty-three thousand. Transfer it to me, or I’ll have to sleep on the street tonight.”

“Transferring money’s easy, but cousin, please, for the love of god, pull your West Coast underwear up—don’t let my classmates see you looking like this,” Mo Mo snapped.

Though Mo Mo called Mo Shengjie “cousin,” they had no blood relation.

Their fathers had sworn brotherhood over chicken blood and yellow paper.

“Fine. But remember to earn money—I’ve gone broke buying bags and clothes,” Mo Shengjie sighed. “Hanfu here is crazy expensive—especially custom-woven fabric. Just a few pieces of cloth cost me over ten thousand.”

“Which pieces?”

“The silk breeches and the belly wrap.”

“Fine. I’ll transfer you ten thousand—buy some summer and winter clothes. I’ll find time to do photo shoots with you,” Mo Mo said, her eyelid twitching as she barely suppressed the urge to elbow him, forcing a calm expression.

“Yay!” Mo Shengjie’s eyes lit up instantly. “Thank you, Big Sister Mo Mo! Next time you need something like this, don’t forget me!”

“Scram!”

“Got it!”

After finishing with Mo Shengjie, Mo Mo took her car keys and turned back toward the dorm, smiling apologetically.

“Ahahaha… we haven’t seen each other in a while, and Ah Jie just dragged me into endless chitchat. But don’t worry—I’m not the type to forget my sisters for a guy. I sent him straight home to scratch his crotch.”

Mo Mo shook the keys, showing off Mo Shengjie’s “gift” to everyone.

“Let’s go—first check into the hotel, then head to the Fox Kingdom.”

“Aren’t you dropping off your boyfriend first?” Tang You asked, glancing at Mo Shengjie. “It’s hard to hail a cab around here, and the panda—”

“No need,” Mo Mo waved dismissively. “He’s currently flag-raising in his pants—I’m afraid you’ll get blinded. Let him walk back.”

“By the way, Yu Xueqing, send me the address—these electric cars have point-to-point autonomous driving. Let’s try it.”

“Oh, sure.” Yu Xueqing sent the Fox Kingdom’s address to Mo Mo via WeChat.

Mo Mo connected her phone to the car’s system and sent the address to the navigation.

“Ding! Destination planned. Departing from Qinling Ecological Reserve, destination: 23 kilometers away—Fox Fur and Fox Meat Farm.”

“Huh?”

An Sheng, who had been curled up in Yu Xueqing’s arms, about to nap, suddenly lifted his head in shock, staring at the car’s screen.

“???”

The four dorm mates, upon hearing the navigation’s announcement, all froze in surprise.

Wasn’t the address Yu Xueqing gave the Fox Kingdom?

How did it become a fox farm?

It even listed for sale: fox fur, fox meat, fox baskets, and bones.

“Ah—don’t look, Xiao’an! You can’t look!” Yu Xueqing immediately covered An Sheng’s eyes.

“Close your eyes for a moment—there must be some mistake. I’m not planning to skin you.”
