Wang Ya and her team had been conducting archaeological work north of the Qinling Mountains until the end of the semester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When summer vacation arrived, the group agreed to travel to TS City north of the Qinling Mountains to chase the trend and eat spicy hotpot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the way, Wang Ya’s car sank into a pit, and inside they encountered some absurd things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, we were all panicked at the time, because we’d never seen anything like that—and when the ruin’s traps attacked us, we fled, leaving Beina behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recounting the ruin’s events, Wang Ya pulled a box from the pocket of her nightdress, placed it on the table, wore a look of helplessness and sorrow, and pushed it toward Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three years have passed—Beina may already be a dried corpse. But if possible, I hope Fu Li Lao Ye, when sending people to excavate the site, can recover Beina’s remains and return them to her homeland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While recounting the ruin’s events, Wang Ya showed little emotional change and even offered to guide Fu Li Lao Ye to the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was merely an act of softness and flattery toward male foxes. Wang Ya herself felt deep reverence and aversion toward the ruin; had it not been for the request of a powerful male fox, she would never have mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the original group of five, when her car fell into the pit, Wang Ya had actually stood still, preparing to call for emergency help—she never entered the ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a native of Changancheng, she knew well that illegal archaeology was tomb raiding, and tomb raiding carried a minimum three-year sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling the Public Security Bureau and Fire Department, and notifying her school advisor, was the best course of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their friend Beina Pasitore, the Italian exchange student, walked at the front and was engulfed by a thick mist spewing from the metal walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, green patterns on the ground twisted and writhed, bursting upward and shooting out particles resembling plant seeds or pebbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya instinctively raised her arm to block it—her wrist was struck—and everyone fled in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not report it to the police or inform their teachers; instead, they rushed home to notify their parents first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who hung out together belonged to similar circles; if a foreign student died, it could be dismissed as an accident—or escalated into a diplomatic incident, depending on how it was handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Ya returned home, before she could tell her parents about the incident, her own transformation occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From later accounts, it seemed at least one of the four who escaped had informed their parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beina’s death was quietly suppressed, and for three years, not a ripple stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the best solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Wang Ya’s recovery, Beina’s matter should now be closed—let Beina return to her homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Ya pull out a brocade box and push it toward him, An Sheng froze, opened it, and saw a green ornament inside, resembling a jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the cause of my transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya looked at Fu Li Lao Ye and sighed: “Now, aside from Xiao Hua and her friends, everything involving spiritual power fills me with dread. I believe entrusting it to Fu Li Lao Ye will ensure the most proper and beneficial handling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Li Lao Ye ≈ Woodcutter = Anquan Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving this pebble to Fu Li Lao Ye was equivalent to handing it over to the state without needing to appear in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ya felt this was all she could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hand over the ruin and its artifacts to the state, and let the state’s specialists return Beina’s remains to Italy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… this is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the emerald gemstone, its base wrapped in metal, only its top exposed, An Sheng fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng raised his hand to close the brocade box, nodded slightly, and prepared to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding ling ling—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ring and vibration came from An Sheng’s saddlebag, cutting off his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Who’s calling me this late?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone was calling, An Sheng paused mid-sentence, pulled out his phone, and saw the caller ID: [Wang Qiqi].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? It’s past two in the morning—why are you calling me now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng answered the call and spoke to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s happened, Fu Li Lao Ye—where are you? I need your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi’s voice was heavy and weary: “We were on patrol investigating a wild beast attack, got ambushed—Jin Qianbao was badly injured. He’s being rushed back to the institute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Qiqi spoke, she glanced at Jin Qianbao, curled up like a boiled shrimp, clutching his groin with his tail, arms wrapped around his knees, rolling back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did a spiritual beast beat Jin Qianbao to a pulp?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where? Where? Give me the address—I’m heading there right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wang Qiqi’s words, An Sheng first froze, then his fox face broke into a look of wild delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was absolutely perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiritual beast that could take down Jin Qianbao—when I go and smash its head, won’t I get [Virtue +6]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m heading back to Changancheng—come to Drum Tower! We need to prepare some equipment, then take an armed helicopter there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi informed Fu Li Lao Ye of the arrangements and the rendezvous point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual beast that defeated Jin Qianbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an ordinary spiritual beast, nor a human society-specialized one, but another type—currently termed by research institutions as [Group-Specific Specialization].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spiritual beasts possess far superior physicality compared to their kind, yet fall far short of the strength of regular spiritual beasts at the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they possess one extraordinary trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A one-trick pony type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the prototype of chemical adhesive, which originated from a marine organism’s secretion—its species could spray the substance to block predators and buy time to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during spiritualization, most of their evolution occurred in their secretion sacs, turning them into creatures that could spit out a single glob that glued enemies to the ground, then suffocated them by absorbing water and expanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi and Jin Qianbao were investigating a serious wild animal attack case on the outskirts of Changancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the true culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a Lin She—a [Group-Specific Specialization] spiritual beast capable of spraying hallucinogenic musk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the location was a mining area, surrounded by mountains with excellent air tightness—Jin Qianbao inhaled it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin She unleashed its Nine Heavens Thunder Kick, directly stomping Jin Qianbao’s rear end, and twisted his still-unused… everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Woodcutters who knew the Lin She’s tactics had already devised a capture protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they needed was Wang Qiqi’s partner, using a helicopter’s rotor wind to disperse the hallucinogenic mist—it would be rendered useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Qianbao held Wang Qiqi back and told her to summon Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Jin Qianbao was massive, fearsome in appearance, and a carnivorous spiritual beast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His temperament was actually very calm, even friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin She had kicked his lips crooked—how could Jin Qianbao swallow this humiliation? He must summon Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Li Lao Ye doesn’t waste words when he sees a spiritual beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t matter where you’re from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, I smash you with a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether there’s virtue or not—I decide for myself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9b9a503b49538543b9956850fd71e53b871255c48bbdd8dd74d8d07a874a463e","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-318","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-316",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
