Wasn’t I worried you’d end up in Tilanqiao for enlightenment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it’s fine! If I see any Forestry Bureau vehicle dare enter the village, I’ll go straight next door and tie up those two spy-playing spouses without a second thought!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox shook its head, happily chirping to Yu Xueqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason I didn’t help in the livestream before was that An Sheng feared Yu Xueqing might end up in jail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing Guo Er home, according to the Wild Animal Protection Law, carries a minimum fine of tens of thousands; if you injure or cause Guo Er’s death, you’ll face criminal charges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng wasn’t afraid of the Forestry Bureau’s big cages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he worried he’d get Yu Xueqing dragged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, two hostages live next door—anytime the Forestry Bureau shows up with a cage, tomorrow’s file on the mayor’s desk will read: 【Forestry Bureau’s Reckless Action Led to Armed Bandit Fox Taking Hostages】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox’s defiant words, machine-translated into Yu Xueqing’s mind, became a soft whisper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm—Master feeds me well every day; Foxie now has strength. Foxie can help Master hunt on screen too! Eat well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll hunt, eat, and sleep together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fox Bao, don’t be so blunt,” Yu Xueqing said, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really do like you, but your daily food cost is actually low—I can squeeze out a year’s worth just by working hard during a summer month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m touched, but I feel ashamed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just pork from the market for eight yuan, yet Foxie treats it like meat snatched from the wild at life-or-death risk against beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashamed, Yu Xueqing firmly picked up her fox, sat on the electric cart, closed the door, and drove straight to the city’s barbecue stall without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss! Two skewers of chicken kidneys, no seasoning. Add two more skewers of shrimp and chicken legs—same, no seasoning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And a bowl of rice noodle soup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with guilt, Yu Xueqing rushed to the night market and treated her fox to a feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s skewers and noodle soup: 53 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing let out a muffled groan, too afraid to speak—night market prices hit like thunderclaps, inflicting real financial damage on this broke college student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The university cafeteria’s fried rice is still the best deal—eight yuan for a huge plate that fills you up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Yu Xueqing returned home, walked inside to take a shower, then planned to cuddle the fox and binge-watch a drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng walked to the flowerbed, lifted his hind leg, and a smooth, cylindrical stream of urine sprayed onto the lone sapling growing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feels better when it’s a steady stream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng glanced back, saw the smooth, even stream, nodded in satisfaction—after days of struggling with the sprinkler, it finally felt right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively shook off, then added a small bottle of diluted, unfertilized organic liquid to the flowerbed, preventing potential burn to the growing seedling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea seedling, once just a green sprout, was now over ten centimeters tall, growing unnaturally fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, with only a tiny green shoot, An Sheng couldn’t tell what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as it grew, its shape clearly suggested a shrub tea seedling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—even Old Man would never dare plant a tree in his yard as an ornamental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a tree tea plant truly grew, it might dig up his ancestral home’s foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng returned inside, lay on the sofa, and sipped a cold cola Yu Xueqing had just bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His little hand, restless, scrolled through the music platform on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? You say… you’re Xiao An’s friend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao An, your friend says they’re looking for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the sound of a hairdryer, Yu Xueqing, who had been drying her hair in the bathroom, opened the door and called out to the fox outside, who was watching a movie commentary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My friend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng froze—Yu Xueqing was in the bathroom, wasn’t she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could any friend of mine visit me from inside the bathroom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be those twin-bunned sprites, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frr—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Xueqing opened the bathroom door, the hairdryer’s hum mixed with a hiss—a jet-black King Cobra slithered out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to thank me, you two have fun! I still need to dry my hair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a bathrobe, Yu Xueqing crouched down, cheerfully telling the King Cobra: “Get along well—Xiao An doesn’t have many friends; I’d appreciate you looking out for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frr!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King Cobra, nearly six meters long with a blocky head, wore a cold, aloof expression—but upon hearing Yu Xueqing’s words, it gave an almost imperceptible nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“??? ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng, slumped on the sofa leaning against the cushion, stared wide-eyed at the King Cobra, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! Where the hell did this black bastard come from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing! Use some sense! This thing is the world’s most venomous snake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng capped the cola, his expression wary, staring at the black bastard he’d beaten twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frr—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King Cobra slithered through the house, coiled up the corner of the dining table, facing the white fox directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frr!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King Cobra shook its head, then raised its entire upper body straight, its head topped with a rice spoon—resembling a giant pointing arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re saying… I should go with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox frowned, chirping at the King Cobra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But between the fox and the King Cobra, even their species were utterly dissimilar—they couldn’t understand each other’s language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, An Sheng could vaguely guess the King Cobra’s intent from its posture and movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Frr!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King Cobra repeated the arrow gesture several times, then “frr”ed twice at An Sheng, as if urging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng took a step forward—the King Cobra slid off the dining table, slithered toward the windowsill, then reared up and peered out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though An Sheng didn’t know why the King Cobra had come specifically today, he still agreed, chirping to Yu Xueqing in the bathroom:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing, I’m going out—leave the door open. It’s too hot to sleep outside in summer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And use some sense! You let a King Cobra knock on the window? Aren’t you afraid of being bitten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng spoke with exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing, usually timid around people, showed zero fear of bizarre animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, this King Cobra doesn’t attack humans—if it wanted to, it could strangle someone to death like a python, even without using venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A King Cobra’s constriction isn’t something to joke about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want a snack when you get back? Sure, I’ll prepare some,” Yu Xueqing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox slapped its face with a paw, chirped, and followed the King Cobra’s pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng had originally planned to lie in Yu Xueqing’s lap, watch a drama, check his wish list, and add two wish points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I’ll wait till later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see what this black bastard, whom I dumped on the mountain, wants now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng followed the King Cobra up the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen, sitting on the porch cooling off with a notebook in hand, saw a thick, jet-black snake, as wide as a sewer pipe, slither past his gate, followed by the nimble steps of Fu Li Lao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked one after the other into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Saying they’re not gangsters? Look at that intimidating march—they could be heading out to kill someone, and I’d believe it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Chen muttered a complaint and stopped caring about the affairs of protected animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t dare report them to the Public Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared Fu Li Lao Ye might escape and flip his ancestral home right over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Request Monthly Votes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f019a54b82adab7e5789afcd0cc4fc58871a96e47bb540d8faa4bcbb2b76d04b","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-85","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-83",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
