Netizens on Bilibili all said pet foxes have dog hardware and cat software.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They combine the destructive power and endurance of dogs with the nosiness and curiosity of cats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d already prepared myself mentally, expecting to replace all my underwear, socks, and shoes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Xiao’an never wrecked anything—even after raising him, our house lost all its dog holes, and even previously faulty door locks returned to normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing spoke slowly, sharing her joyful experience raising a fox with other pet owners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xiao’an came home, Yu Xueqing only had to handle three meals a day, plus baths and massages—she never worried about anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, her little scarf-like fox would bring back things from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food, drinks, jewelry, accessories—even yesterday, it brought home two hundred yuan and a bottle of liquor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing scanned the QR code on the newly sealed bottle of baijiu; the retail price was nearly four hundred yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you did the math properly, excluding snacks and extra meals, Yu Xueqing had actually earned four million yuan in accessories and two hundred yuan in cash from the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she dared not speak publicly about the watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Yu Xueqing’s story, both Qiu Lingling and the others at the camp wore expressions of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent money recklessly on their pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s pet made money for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked it up a month ago; now, a month later, she could stand right outside the tea house luring customers, bringing in thousands of yuan in morning earnings—and sometimes even bringing back cash from outside as pocket money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Lingling stared, mouth agape, her forehead clearly inscribed with: “I don’t understand, but I’m profoundly shaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Lingling looked at the white fox, then at her own cream-colored Tushong, Abai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aowu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her owner’s slightly angry call, Abai tucked his tail, slunk to the corner, and offered a sly, Samoyed-like grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tushong, really, isn’t all bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that its guarding skills are exceptional, and it loves smashing rare, absurdly expensive exotic pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, it smashed a blue-tongued skink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the pet hospital intervened in time; otherwise, that three-ten-thousand-yuan blue-tongued skink would’ve been lying in Qiu Lingling’s arms with its coffin lid on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other Tushong guarding skills, Qiu Lingling didn’t know much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her Tushong Abai? When the soy sauce bottle runs out and you toss it in the trash, Abai will later retrieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then carefully carry it back to its original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any object stays in the house for more than three days, Abai treats it as a family member and guards it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Qiu Lingling’s fondness for Abai’s timid, sneaky expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she’d have thrown this messy creature out long ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uhh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abai grinned toothlessly, tiptoeing closer to his little mistress and rubbing against her thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Lingling swatted his head, unimpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abai didn’t care at all—he kept rubbing against her thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew, I’m exhausted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone at the camp was admiring Yu Xueqing’s little fox,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Lang panted heavily, drenched in sweat, carrying his sheep back to camp on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheep, weighing over 130 jin, had its four hooves tied together with rope, and Song Lang carried it straight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheep’s already vacant face now wore a vacant, dumb expression as it bleated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Lang tossed the fat sheep onto the grass and collapsed onto his camping chair, grabbing a cola and gulping it down in big swallows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheep’s legs were bound, so it couldn’t run—but it still wriggled to hide behind Yu Xueqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing, meeting Song Lang for the first time, stared in shock as he returned with the sheep, then subtly elbowed Qiu Lingling beside her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That big brother… is he always this intense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrestling a sheep down on the grass, tying its legs with rope, then carrying it back to camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing had never in her life met anyone so fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean Brother Song? That’s normal,” Qiu Lingling said, as if it were routine:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Song is a martial arts instructor at the gym, and he teaches the Advanced Green Fitness class. His physical strength isn’t surprising at all—though his hobby is a bit odd.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has a huge crush on fluffy sheep—he dreams of riding one like a sheep knight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The instructor of the Advanced Green Fitness class!” Yu Xueqing’s eyes widened, and she sucked in a sharp breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought a wealthy man would be right beside me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Fitness scores are tied to the college entrance exam; even though universities don’t force students to train at youth centers, Green Fitness remains an exam subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless you’re a genius, you can’t graduate smoothly without passing Green Fitness—it’s an unavoidable core subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Fitness education was launched five years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Qing was in her second year of high school, at one of the most critical junctures of her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong and Chen Peipei enrolled Yu Xueqing in an off-campus Green Fitness enhancement class to boost her score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each student in the Green Fitness enhancement class paid 3,800 yuan per month, not including meals and accommodation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One student: 3,800 yuan. Ten students: 38,000 yuan. One hundred students: 380,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing looked at Song Lang with envy. Running tutoring and enhancement classes—wasn’t that just another kind of modern landlord?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collecting tuition every month, he easily earned millions a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“. If money were that easy to make, it’d be great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yu Xueqing and Qiu Lingling talk about him, Song Lang, having caught his breath, waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The boss makes the money—what’s that got to do with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a poor worker.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no, I forgot we were going out to eat today for the Winter Solstice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was out all afternoon and only got back around nine to update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the update is late,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still boldly beg for monthly votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, dear readers, have a happy Winter Solstice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Chapter ends)\u003C\u002Fp>",1185,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c5bdee9c6cd493b994e254f428e7e08f192f30c990f05b8f65d48983bb686f58","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-53","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-51",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
