Safety Bureau logistics personnel followed Wang Qiqi up to Lin She’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone formed a circle, surrounding Lin She.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin She lay flat, expressionless, as if it would resist nothing no matter what they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Qiqi, bring me a tactical dagger! Fu Li Lao Ye’s going to cut Lin She’s lazy nap short!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng thought for a moment, borrowed the dagger from Wang Qiqi, ready to give Lin She’s lazy nap two cuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang wang wang! Wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing someone prying open its hind leg, Lin She instinctively opened its eyes and saw the black blade gleaming with cold light—its lazy nap turned icy, as if sweat had broken out on its forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She scrambled to its feet, bowed its front legs in a submissive kneel, and let out a string of dog-like barks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m wrong! I truly am wrong—I shouldn’t have hidden Fu Li Lao Ye’s treasure herb. It was my greed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She knew its bell had been damaged and could no longer display male dominance before Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though it had been badly hurt, at least it still had its bell holder left to keep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fu Li Lao Ye’s expression, as if he planned to uproot Lin She’s entire basket, Lin She panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the dream of dominance and its masculinity, it decisively chose the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point of becoming a dominant? Isn’t it just to better enjoy the females?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She had very high intelligence and understood simple, obvious truths—it wouldn’t sacrifice the big for the small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang wang wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She, now standing again, looked at the fully armed Safety Bureau logistics staff and called out to Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, Lin She says for you all to step back—it will lead us to something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, only Fu Li Lao Ye had full-channel translation ability; he relayed Lin She’s words, and afterward An Sheng turned to Wang Qiqi and said: “This thing’s IQ must be high—it even cursed my mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi looked from the upright Fu Li Lao Ye, who reached only to her waist, to the Alaskan-sized Lin She, her expression turning strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Lin She had high intelligence, Wang Qiqi couldn’t yet make a scientifically rigorous judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin She’s life was truly tough: one day, it kicked the crotch of a Garrison-level Jin Qianbao, then insulted the Garrison-level Fu Li Lao Ye—and all it got was two of its bells shattered, not death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were a human, it’d be like being run over twice by two overloaded hundred-ton trucks and only ending up with a broken bone, no major injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lin She, out of selfishness, viciously tore innocent creatures to shreds. Fu Li Lao Ye, hearing of this at dusk, raised his hammer of justice and struck—Lin She’s mind awakened to humanity, realizing a musk deer should not be so selfish.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Wish Power +3】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Total Wish Power: 20】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin She hung its head in dejection, a flash of golden light suddenly pierced An Sheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the situation was:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans good, spirit beast bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Li Lao Ye’s giant hammer was perfectly fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She limped, leading Fu Li Lao Ye and the others into a coal mine shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-neglected mine shaft had support beams rotting with mold; some showed visible insect damage. Even without looking, one could feel the danger of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi signaled, ordering everyone to stay put—only she and Fu Li Lao Ye would enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing over a hundred meters into the shaft, they reached its dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abandoned shaft continuously leaked water, clearly showing signs of collapse; at its lowest point, a pool of water gathered, and within it stood a plant faintly glowing with starlike luminescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin She nudged the plant, barking repeatedly, saying something to Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit plant? How could there be a spirit plant here?” Wang Qiqi stared at the glowing plant, her face clearly showing shock, disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the era of spiritual energy revival, organisms with simpler structures were more easily affected, absorbing spiritual particles and undergoing incredible evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human technology currently cannot harvest free-floating spiritual particles from the air. All spiritual particle medicines or products are derived from artificially cultivated spirit plants, then concentrated and reused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, like the Longevity Club, they hunt spirit beasts, extract their essence, then use the leftovers to cultivate spirit plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit plant growth conditions are extremely demanding—even after generations of selective breeding to produce varieties that rapidly absorb free-floating spiritual particles, they still require massive human care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see a spirit plant growing straight out of a rock crevice, Wang Qiqi was stunned, then her heart surged with excitement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a new… new species! A completely new species that drastically reduces cultivation costs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fu Li Lao Ye! Three bottles—no, we’re willing to offer five bottles of spiritual particle medicine in exchange!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi, beaming with excitement, told An Sheng; as a Nongke Academy student, she knew exactly how valuable this spirit plant was for research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit plants are all delicate—if this plant’s hardiness could be transplanted into fast-absorbing spirit plants, the cost savings would be enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qiqi had never seen anything this hardy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—she meant something with real research value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wang Qiqi’s reaction, An Sheng looked again at the speaking Lin She, his expression turning strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing had immense research value—enough for Wang Qiqi to offer five bottles of spiritual particle medicine, enough to let Yu Xueqing transform into a fox-woman five times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to Lin She’s account, such treasure herbs frequently appeared in batches in the Qinling Mountains and surrounding areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including this one, still immature, Lin She had already acquired six spirit plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its reason for attacking surveyors was simple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t want humans to discover the treasure herbs—or damage the geology and cause the abandoned mine to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f06d5b87839448ad4c5a322bcc4ec2ea3a8da073fe4bf0292d5fa91e872f16f2","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-322","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-320",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
