How could they be strolling a National Class Two animal down the street?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Illegally keeping a nationally protected animal—even if no harm comes to it—carries a minimum fine of thirty to fifty thousand if caught; if harm occurs during breeding, the minimum sentence is one year in prison with a one-year reprieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summer North subspecies: albino red fox.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing’s face showed surprise; she instinctively reached out and pinched Xiao An’s belly, then said to the receptionist:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be mistaken. Even if he isn’t a purebred Arctic fox, he should be a North American albino red fox or some other subspecies—how could he possibly be a Xia Nation red fox, let alone the Summer North subspecies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you’re wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Ren and Tang You looked at the little fox; their eyes revealed different expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Ren was filled with awe; in Tang You’s eyes, occasional flashes of an indescribable longing appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... she misidentified him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist glanced at the four of them, paused, then deliberately forgot her earlier involuntary exclamation and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not all white foxes are Arctic foxes. Arctic foxes, to adapt to Arctic climates, have ears that aren’t perfectly triangular but rather rounded and thick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, we can rule out him being an Arctic fox. And from his well-proportioned facial structure and body shape, we can also rule out those little pseudo-fox species. He must belong to the red fox family—the most widely distributed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After regaining her composure, the receptionist didn’t want to invite trouble; she followed Mo Yiqing’s lead and began explaining how to identify foxes, instead of continuing to point at An Sheng and declare him a National Class Two animal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although there are nearly fifty subspecies of red foxes, only a few are primarily bred.\" The receptionist looked at An Sheng and said: \"As an albino individual, it’s hard to identify him by fur color alone, but red foxes differ in their snouts—their muzzles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve probably had little exposure to foxes, so you might not notice, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that foreign red foxes have longer muzzles, giving them a rougher, coarser appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After narrowing down the regions, the main distribution areas for Xia Nation red foxes are Summer South, Summer North, and Northeast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summer South red foxes are delicate; the Summer North subspecies largely follows the same lineage, with the only difference being that the colder climate of Summer North causes them to accumulate more fat. In short, the Summer North subspecies is fatter and larger; the Northeast subspecies rivals a Husky in size.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the receptionist gestured to identify An Sheng’s features, then pinched his belly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng looked at the approaching hand, lifted his head proudly, raised his front paw, and placed it on the receptionist’s wrist, pressing her hand firmly back onto the counter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you now know I’m a National Class Two animal, I won’t hide it anymore: thirty minutes of petting costs fifty. I accept cash and WeChat Pay. Of course, I don’t currently support Huabei payments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng wore an expression of admiration and cooed to the receptionist: \"You have good taste. As a reward, V me fifty yuan before you start petting me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing, Mo Yiqing, Ling Ren, and Tang You all stared at An Sheng, following the receptionist’s guidance as they examined the National Class Two animal—from his face to the pads of his paws, leaving nothing unobserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts proved:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything the receptionist said was perfectly accurate—Xiao An’s traits matched the Summer North subspecies red fox flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to the receptionist’s explanation, Mo Yiqing slightly narrowed her eyes and glanced at the receptionist’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fox farm breeder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she had extensive contact with foxes, shouldn’t she have only encountered commercial foxes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she could recite the precise characteristics of Xia Nation National Class Two animals and other protected foxes from abroad—including even pseudo-fox species—as if listing them from memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the farm had transformed into a fox behavior breeding research institute three years ago, how many foxes could it possibly have collected in just three years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing keenly sensed that the receptionist’s knowledge of foxes was unusually broad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if pressed to say exactly what felt off, Mo Yiqing couldn’t pinpoint it right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get the feeling that receptionist is weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the newly booked presidential suite, Mo Yiqing tossed her bag onto a chair, lay down on the sofa, and stretched out long and slow before speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She could detail the traits of dozens of fox species living in Asia, Europe, and North America, and even pseudo-fox members, speaking as fluently as if reciting facts—far more knowledgeable than most fox researchers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Yu Xueqing, it’s your turn to speak.\" Mo Yiqing extended her swan-like neck, staring intently at Yu Xueqing, who was patting the little fox in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What should I say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing blinked, then looked at Mo Yiqing with serious expression: \"I’ve consulted an expert. Xiao An’s father is a deadbeat fox—he sneaked into the breeding farm and impregnated several little fox girls. Xiao An has a birth certificate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing: \".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Xueqing’s deadpan reply, and hearing her say something so absurd:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Mo Yiqing suddenly pictured Chen Zhiyu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing hadn’t guessed wrong—after Yu Xueqing learned Xiao An might be a protected animal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the only animal expert she trusted was Chen Zhiyu. Earlier, while fishing on Changping Mountain, Yu Xueqing had secretly asked Chen Zhiyu for advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t ask—just insist: Xiao An’s father is a deadbeat fox who went to the Changping Mountain Fox Paradise and ruled it like an emperor, impregnating dozens of foxes in one night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao An is an accidental byproduct; his ownership belongs to the Changping Mountain Pet Paradise—no one else has a claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s also why:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the receptionist revealed Xiao An’s identity, Yu Xueqing wasn’t panicked at all—she even had the leisure to listen to the receptionist’s fox knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because behind Yu Xueqing stood another big sister offering off-stage guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fox Grandfather San.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo Yiqing spoke to Yu Xueqing, Tang You plopped down beside her, staring at An Sheng with a mystical expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather Hu San, I, Tang You, your disciple, humbly beg you to save me from suffering and help me overcome this life-or-death crisis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just once—I swear it’s the last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to experience the thrill of ten consecutive pulls and get every skin and emote.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang You opened her clasped hands, revealing her phone—on the screen was clearly the King of Glory x Pesticide gacha interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmmm\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng’s face turned serious; he kicked out his little foot and pressed it against Tang You’s cheek, pushing her face away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! I won’t help you anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would be harming you.
