Come out and receive guests!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the second floor of the villa, the ear fox tilted his head and let out a loud, clear chirp to summon Wang Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has Master Fuli arrived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya, dressed in a home robe, wore light makeup, tied her three-year-uncut hair into a neat ponytail, and smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped out from behind the screen and smiled at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment—I’m brewing tea, it’ll be ready soon. Please make yourselves comfortable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya’s smile was bright yet restrained, radiating sunlight yet steeped in scholarly grace; her brows carried mature charm, yet her face remained youthful and innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a sleeve cover on her left arm to conceal its black luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell are you pretending to be? Who here doesn’t know your true nature?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Ya’s gentle, virtuous demeanor, the ear fox froze, then snapped back to reality and burst into curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you were with me, your laugh was almost as unhinged as a serial killer’s—cackling like a maniac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you playing at, pretending to be a refined lady? Do you even know where the tea canister is? Don’t blow up the tea room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle, poised Wang Ya, radiating the softness of a Jiangnan woman, nearly dropped the ear fox’s jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t say things like that! I’ve always been like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a tea tray in one hand and the freshly brewed aged white tea in the other, Wang Ya walked out of the tea room, sat on the sofa, and served everyone a cup of hot tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya placed the tea before Master Fuli, reached out, and gently clasped his paw, smiling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master Fuli. Without your appearance and help, I might still be lost, trapped inside the tomb guardian’s shell. I wholeheartedly support your ecological restoration plan, and I’ll work hard to correct my past mistakes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she shook his paw, Wang Ya pressed her four fingers together, lightly cradling his small paw, her thumb resting on his forearm, gently stroking his fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the pleasant sensation on his paw, An Sheng’s expression softened, revealing a look of pure delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya’s palm was cool, and when it touched the soft pads of his paw, it brought a refreshing chill; the slight stroke along the back of his fur sent a tingling warmth through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handshake lasted only a moment before releasing; Wang Ya smiled warmly and sat composedly on the single armchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has two sides—Wang Ya’s outward personality has always been that of a cultured, well-mannered young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in her own home, in her private sanctuary, when night fell and silence reigned, Wang Ya would shed her burdens and reveal her unrestrained self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ear fox’s form was far too small; his activity space was almost entirely confined to Wang Ya’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since Wang Ya never guarded her secrets from Xiao Hua, the ear fox learned the hidden truth about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, no one could have imagined Wang Ya harbored such strange habits in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in this formal setting, Master Fuli and his attendant were guests—Wang Ya naturally wouldn’t expose her inner quirks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fuli sneaked into her bedroom at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief pleasantries, Wang Ya picked up the ear fox, who had been hopping around the table, and placed him on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard some things about you, Master Fuli, from Xiao Hua,” Wang Ya began, but Master Fuli interrupted. He looked bewildered and asked: “Xiao Hua… who’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya frowned in confusion, glancing at the ear fox, who scowled and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng looked at the ear fox: “Xiao Hua?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!” The ear fox spat, his face twisted with resentment and displeasure, as if silently protesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya seemed to sense something, but kept her smile unchanged and changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About that ancient tomb—I’m not entirely clear on it. We’d planned to travel to Lingbei before summer vacation, but our car got stuck, and we stumbled upon it by accident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? The ear fox said you were doing dragon-finding, gold-divining, studying winding mountains—one bend, one barrier,” An Sheng said, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe to outsiders it looks that way? But to us archaeology students, even thinking that way would land us in prison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya made a small joke. The ear fox had actually confused the facts—Wang Ya had participated in a Lingbei archaeological excavation during her sophomore year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mixed up two events—who in their right mind goes digging for tombs during summer vacation unless they’re a paid professional?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, my car should still be there—if Master Fuli wants to go, I can guide you. But I can’t explain what’s inside,” Wang Ya recalled, speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because… the objects inside are utterly unfamiliar, unlike anything from any known era.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Its history likely predates even the ‘Dadiwan Site’—this tomb, or perhaps not even a tomb at all, but some unknown structure, may be over ten thousand years old.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya shook her head gently: “When we fell into it, we triggered traps and barely escaped in panic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t know about spirit beasts back then, but now I suspect it might be a relic of a spirit-energy-based civilization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s shaken my worldview.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya, an archaeology major, studied history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that encounter, and the three years of experiences since, had shattered her entire understanding of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth’s strata shift—due to complex tectonic movements, layers rise and sink over millennia, forming the distinct strata known in geology today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That unknown ancient site may have been pushed upward from the depths during tectonic activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Wang Ya couldn’t guarantee its truth—she was merely making a reasonable inference based on her expertise and observations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her speculation were correct,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would prove one thing: an ancient civilization once existed, built upon spirit energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Wang Ya’s account, An Sheng felt the situation had grown far more complex than he’d originally assumed—this wasn’t just a simple ancient tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tomb might not merely contain spirit-grain artifacts and documents—it might very well be an entire relic from the ancient spirit-energy resurgence era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So according to you, we can’t dig it up with a Luoyang spade—we’d need heavy excavators, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Fuli pondered for a long while before asking tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng still had a curiosity for strange things—but if it meant digging up thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of earth, he’d rather go back and enjoy the air conditioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t risk wearing out the pads on his paws just because of a passing curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were truly the case,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’d be better to call Wang Qiqi over and let her lead a civil engineering crew to dig—while he became the contractor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ce59d16d35b49e93cc84f2b619634aef68f36957566bcdf531a55035b4a39327","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-316","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-314",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
