After years of experience, it has established breeding systems for red foxes, white foxes, black foxes, and Finnish Arctic foxes, with a current inventory of up to four hundred thousand individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Annual profit exceeds forty million, integrating breeding with sustainable reproduction. Business professionals are welcome to purchase raw materials or finished products during harvest season.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the car’s map, the final destination of Aqing and the others—Fox Kingdom Park—was directly marked with a large fox farming symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Aqing was stunned and quickly covered the little fox’s eyes and ears, then began searching for information about Fox Kingdom Park on Baidu. Three years ago, it was indeed a large fox farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to Baidu and YinFu’s descriptions, the owner of the Lin District Fox Farm later apparently took up Buddhism, so he directly transformed the farm into a tourist attraction, applied for a national-level breeding and conservation license, and collected all kinds of foxes from around the world into the “Fox Kingdom” for research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main research focus is on breeding and behavior, as well as promoting knowledge and content about fox conservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aqing’s destination was correct; it was just that the car’s map hadn’t been updated and was still using an old version, hence labeling the “Fox Kingdom” as a farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, are we still going?” asked Moyi Qing, sitting in the driver’s seat, looking utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should be able to go. I saw on YinFu that the Lin District Fox Farm has been transformed—the owner has dedicated his profits to fox conservation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Aqing said: “Let’s go take a look. If it’s too scary for foxes, we’ll leave bad reviews on their YinFu shop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.” Moyi Qing looked around at the others, confirmed their agreement, and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Annual revenue of forty million, believes in Buddhism, transformed.” An Sheng’s expression turned strange: “A large-scale breeding operation that peaked with four hundred thousand foxes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on my experience navigating society, the farm owner probably didn’t take up Buddhism.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More likely, those Arctic foxes from the West Coast, those fox bros, pointed guns at the owner’s head and forced him to start playing Sony games with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about the Lin District Fox Farm, An Sheng felt a strange unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buffs there were stacked to the max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hundred thousand foxes in large-scale breeding, right next to a fox fur processing plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fox breeding cycles aren’t short; it’s not hard to imagine that among four hundred thousand foxes, one might become a spirit beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t know the actual situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely sensed something was off, so he made a guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng simply couldn’t understand what could possibly make a company with over forty million in annual revenue suddenly transform into a tourist attraction and research institute—just because the owner suddenly took up Buddhism?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he personally took up Buddhism, it wasn’t as if all the shareholders had too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they all took up Buddhism, how could the local district or county government just let a major taxpayer walk away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aqing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we visit, be careful—not to pet An Mou ’s tail. Otherwise, I feel it’ll damage my reputation as the mighty Lord Fuli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’d better have a Guardian-level fox. Otherwise, An Mou  guarantees that before we check out—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every single fox, one by one, must address me as ‘Master!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his spare time, An Sheng sometimes lurked in the WeChat group “Furries Gathering Place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he learned about spirit beasts, the more he understood a profound truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class structure of spirit beast society is a father-son hierarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t become their father, they’ll turn around and become yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Are you even an adult, Xiao An?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aqing, what did the little fox say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said he’s going to bite the other little fox’s neck to assert his little fox dominance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“6”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than thirty kilometers away, and they didn’t even pass through the Never-Night City’s tourist zone; after twenty minutes, they arrived at a hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hotel was less than fifteen stories tall, but its building stretched extremely long—it took several minutes to walk from one end to the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the hotel hung a sign: “Xi’an Lin District Fox Kingdom Grand Hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyi Qing glanced at the sign, then walked straight to the front desk and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a suite. By the way, I heard you have a fox leather processing plant here, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist, who had been smiling professionally, suddenly turned pale when she heard Moyi Qing mention fox leather. She quickly whispered: “Shh, shh, shh—guest, you can’t say things like that here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was, was. What is, is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re a fox research institute now. We no longer produce any fox-related goods—only forest spirits and fluffy little cuties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that really necessary? Can’t I even ask?” Moyi Qing muttered to Aqing, Lingren, and Tang You beside him, seeing the receptionist’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist, who was processing An Sheng’s ID for check-in, sighed bitterly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know—we used to raise foxes. Then, one day, the boss suddenly woke up and said he was done. Within a month, he tore down every leather factory and breeding facility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only later did we learn he’d suddenly taken up Buddhism and refused to run any business involving killing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, whenever he hears ‘fox leather,’ he flies into a rage. Last month, he beat up a guest who came asking about fox leather products.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boss is still in detention,” the receptionist said with a wry smile. “Six bottles of whiskey—he smashed them all over the guy’s head. It was terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though we shouldn’t say this, the boss’s wife told us: if any guest asks about fox leather products, we must explain clearly, to prevent further conflicts at the hotel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the receptionist’s words, Aqing wasn’t frightened—she sighed in relief and pulled the little fox from her backpack, placing it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew—if you were still doing fox leather here, I wouldn’t dare let Xiao An stick his head out. I’d be terrified you’d snatch him away,” Aqing said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! Xia Beihu subspecies—albino red fox!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Aqing take out the fox, the receptionist glanced casually. Since the farm had stopped breeding and switched to tourism, fox enthusiasts kept showing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many tourists brought foxes to visit—but when the receptionist clearly saw Aqing’s fox, her eyes widened, and she blurted out: “Holy shit!” and sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a real National Grade Two, sis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“National Grade Two!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moyi Qing, Lingren, and Tang You froze, staring in disbelief at Aqing, then at the little fox on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really is a protective spirit?” Tang You whispered softly to the little fox. “No wonder it’s so strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","af4162a9a11d41b17de9ccce77d798bdc3a302f7a2eba78923309508d33a6a60","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-291","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-289",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
