Chapter 302

"."

In the second-floor living room of the villa, after a long silence, Wang Lei spoke up:

"Fox Immortal..."

"You are right. Everything was caused by our pet smuggling; it was our blindness that offended the Spirit Fox Envoy. I, Wang Lei, am willing to accept the Fox Immortal's punishment—please have pity on my daughter..."

"Besides the smuggling..."

As Wang Lei began to recount, Qiao Yu subconsciously pulled on her husband.

But Wang Lei glared fiercely at Qiao Yu:

"What time is it now to still be talking about money, money, money! Is it useful for us to leave all our money to Xiao Ya? Is the research institute we spent hundreds of millions to build useful? My poor daughter doesn't even have a human form anymore!"

Wang Lei let out an angry roar. Over three years, he had spent countless sums of money and tried countless folk remedies, only to be met with the fennec fox's heartless mockery, repeating that same sentence over and over again.

"Those... are all things you deserve. These are all curses from the Fox Immortal. You can only watch helplessly as Wang Ya walks ahead of you. How sad and lamentable, to have a child in your old age but be unable to hold onto her..."

The fennec fox was like a nightmare. Wang Lei had suspected more than once that the fennec fox was causing trouble and wanted to get rid of it.

But those methods were useless. Wang Ya would always stand in front of the fennec fox, using her already mutated body to block all bullets and blades, while erupting with a terror akin to a demon god descending upon the world...

The fennec fox styled itself as the 'Spirit Fox Envoy,' a spiritual creature personally enlightened by the Fox Immortal.

When one thing after another—all the things that science could not explain clearly—were placed before his eyes, no matter how unwilling he was to believe it in his heart, Wang Lei had to face the matter of the 【Fox Immortal's Curse】 that the fennec fox spoke of.

Now.

The Fox Immortal was right in front of him. Wang Lei didn't want to care whether it was the Fox Immortal before him who cursed his daughter, or some other Fox Immortal who cursed her.

He just wanted his daughter to return to being a normal person, even if it meant turning out all his wealth and his past foundations.

He was already over sixty now and didn't have many years left to live; his only obsession was Wang Ya.

"Besides smuggling pets..."

"We also raised foxes for fur. In the process, to save costs, we threw sick foxes into the mountains—some died of illness, others were lucky enough to survive. The fur foxes raised artificially were all plump and strong..."

"They encroached on the ecology of the native red foxes. District leaders investigated this matter thoroughly, but... I secretly used some methods to pin the blame on those legitimate public welfare organizations for releasing animals for blessings..."

Wang Lei recounted the mistakes he had committed one by one. Some things he did knowing they were wrong, because it saved money.

A fur fox only cost two or three hundred, while the cost of treating their illnesses could far exceed the price of the fox itself. For those small fur foxes, once they were found to be sick, they were thrown away directly.

Because small fur foxes didn't even have the value of their fur; skinning them was purely a waste of labor.

"And I shouldn't have been superstitious, superstitious about the matter of soaking nine hundred and ninety-nine fox penises in wine..."

"???"

An Sheng had originally been listening with a calm face, and he didn't have much of a reaction to what Wang Lei said. They ran farms and leather processing plants—if they didn't kill foxes, could one expect them to worship the foxes instead?

Only.

The matter of nine hundred and ninety-nine fox penises really shocked An Sheng directly.

"You bastard, I have never seen such a pervert. 128 penises is already outrageous, but you actually prepared 999 of them to soak in wine—no wonder you have low sperm count."

An Sheng cursed in his heart, raised his hand, and directly interrupted Wang Lei's speech:

"Enough! The Master has no interest in hearing about your rotten business of soaking fox penises in wine—talk about your daughter!"

"Sss-sss-sss." Seeing Lord Fuli look toward her side, the half-human, half-scorpion Wang Ya let out a hissing sound.

She tilted her head and looked at Lord Fuli, as if wondering why he was looking at her without speaking.

"Xiao Ya..."

Wang Lei subconsciously looked at his daughter, then turned back to Lord Fuli and said: "She... although she also used that dirty money, I can guarantee that she truly knew nothing about these things the whole time. It was us who forced her to spend that dirty money with knives..."

When the matter involved Wang Ya, Wang Lei was silent for a long time before stammering out a sentence.

An Sheng: "."

A fine "forced with knives," but those things were completely different from what I care about.

"You speak."

An Sheng looked at Qiao Yu and said.

"Xiao Ya... before the incident, Xiao Ya was always a student of excellent character and learning, studying archaeology at Northwest University. Our expectation for her was that she would be able to pass the civil service exam in the future and serve the motherland, rather than doing evil like us."

Qiao Yu seemed to realize something, feeling that the Fox Immortal before her who could speak human language might not be the Fox Immortal who cursed her daughter.

Therefore, when Qiao Yu spoke of Wang Ya, besides her life story, she spent a lot of ink on Wang Ya's good character and future plans.

When Qiao Yu praised her daughter, she would secretly observe Lord Fuli's expression after every sentence, using it to judge whether her words were a bit exaggerated.

"Your daughter is quite good. I'll say hello to the Leshan Giant Buddha another day and let it go out to beg for alms; your daughter can just sit on top of it."

An Sheng rolled his eyes, but he keenly sensed one thing from Qiao Yu's narrative.

Wang Ya was a sophomore in the archaeology department at Northwest University.

In his past life, the archaeology department was probably like those unpopular majors in history, with a relatively low admission score.

But in this life, the archaeology major was very particular.

The cutting-edge achievements in the basic application of spirit particles all stemmed from the efforts of archaeologists.

With one strike of their Luoyang shovel, they might dig up documents that could advance spirit particle science.

Wang Ya was a sophomore in archaeology.

And she was studying in Chang'an—Chang'an was known for having more people underground than above ground.

Fine!

Although the truth was not yet clear, one could vaguely guess what had happened to Wang Ya.

"Ahem..."

An Sheng jumped off the sofa, grasped a branch leaning against it, and walked toward the Fennec Fox King.

"!?"

Seeing Lord Fuli approaching with a big stick, a hideous smile appeared on the fennec fox's cheeks:

"Brother Fuli~ You... you are well!"

The Fox King, whose home had already been raided, was now completely numb.

Its strongest reliance had temporarily lost control, and its bank card password had been extracted.

Moreover, looking at that manic fox, it clearly wanted to resolve the matter Wang Ya encountered; how could the fennec fox possibly be willing to let go of its greatest reliance?

The fennec fox unleashed its 'Fox Charm' ability.

"What? You call me brother?"

Arriving in front of the fennec fox, An Sheng seemed completely immune to the fox's flirtatiousness, and with a face full of exaggerated shock and deep disappointment, he said:

"Kid! I am so disappointed in you! You actually aren't even willing to call me Daddy! Eat the big stick!"

"Thump—"

"Awoo! Woof woof woof—your mother!" The fennec fox was furious: "I'm such a cute fox, and you can actually bring yourself to do this? Do you still have any humanity?"

"Shut your mouth! If I ask and you don't answer, Lord Fuli is going to eat 'Fox Joy' sashimi!"

"'Fox Joy' sashimi?" The fennec fox was stunned.

Lord Fuli picked up the butterfly knife on the table, looked at the fennec fox with a serious face, and said: "Yes! 'Fox Joy'!"
