"I'm ashamed of my own logical ability compared to Lanlan's," Chu Hengyuan said as he casually buttoned up his pajamas. "Alright, I'm really dressed this time. Lanlan, open your eyes." With that, he picked up the gold - rimmed glasses on the bedside table and put them on.
This time, Rong Lan was smarter. She didn't open her eyes immediately. Instead, she waved her hand to call Chu Hengyuan over. When he stood in front of her, she reached out and felt the pajamas on his body. Only then did she open her eyes, and the little fox let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Hengyuan didn't expect that the little girl would start not to trust him. He really wanted to ruffle the curly fox ears on top of her head. "Lanlan, I just thought, are you deliberately staying here to let me act like a hooligan?"
Rong Lan: "???"
The little fox's fox ears stood on end in surprise. "Why do you say that?"
She didn't even know she had the guts for that.
"If not, you could just close the room door and stay in the living room. I could just go out of the room to find my clothes by myself," he said. He had thought of this way, but if he did so, he wouldn't have the chance to tease his little girl, so he buried this idea deep in his heart.
Rong Lan tilted her head. It seemed so. This was a suite. As long as she stayed in the living room, even if he was completely naked in the room, she wouldn't see it.
She slapped Chu Hengyuan's arm with one paw and snorted. "You must have thought of this long ago! But you deliberately didn't tell me!"
The little girl didn't use much strength. Chu Hengyuan didn't feel any pain from the slap. He held back his laughter and said, "I thought Lanlan did it on purpose. After all, with Lanlan's strong logical ability, it's hard to believe you didn't think of this."
Rong Lan: "..."
She was so startled by his action of opening the door that her mind went blank. She really didn't think of such a simple thing for a moment.
"I—" Just as she was about to explain, her phone suddenly rang.
Rong Lan was stunned for a moment. She quickly walked to the bed and picked up the phone she had just thrown on the bed. She thought it was Bai Rongran who had something important to tell her. Unexpectedly, the call was from Si Mo.
She swiped the phone screen, raised the phone to her ear and said, "Hello—"
"Little fox, is there anyone else around you? I have something very important to tell you, but this thing can't be heard by anyone except you," Si Mo paused. "Not even Chu Hengyuan."
Hearing Si Mo's urgent tone, Rong Lan glanced at Chu Hengyuan who was standing not far away tidying his clothes. "Go ahead. Brother is not around me."
Chu Hengyuan stopped in his tracks and looked at the little girl in disbelief. She didn't show the slightest sign of guilt. Could his Lanlan lie so naturally now?
Rong Lan stuck out her tongue at Chu Hengyuan.
She dared to answer Si Mo like this because she didn't turn on the speaker. With the distance between her and Chu Hengyuan, Chu Hengyuan couldn't hear what Si Mo was saying at all.
Although Chu Hengyuan didn't know what secret Rong Lan was listening to, he was a perfect gentleman and didn't go over to be a busybody. Instead, he walked a little farther away.
Si Mo took a deep breath. "I saw another fox again."
Rong Lan: "???" What did it mean to see another fox again?
Could it be that what she feared most had come true? The person she least wanted to see now...
Was she here?
Seeing the little girl's fox ears stand on end, Chu Hengyuan shook his head helplessly. He simply took a towel and walked out of the living room to let her make the call in peace.
Watching Chu Hengyuan walk away, Rong Lan's mind still couldn't turn around. "Where... did you see her?"
Si Mo: "On the street. I was bored and went out for a stroll, thinking of finding a place with sufficient spiritual power to practice. I just passed by that fox."
"You just passed by her?!" Rong Lan was shocked. "Didn't she find you special?"
"Probably not. I deliberately restrained my non - human aura when I went out," Si Mo recalled the fox he had seen not long ago. "That fox looks quite similar to you. Could she be the one who comes to pick you up?"
Rong Lan shook her head firmly and paced around the bed anxiously. "I don't think so."
"Then is she your enemy? I planted a mark on her. I can find her anytime. If she is your enemy, I'll help you kill her," Si Mo said casually.
He said this because that fox gave him a very bad feeling. There was almost no merit on her, which was in sharp contrast to the little fox surrounded by the light of merit. If he had met that fox at the beginning, he would rather starve than be friends with that fox.
Moreover, Rong Lan's cultivation hadn't fully recovered yet. If that fox was really her enemy, Rong Lan might not be able to defeat her. It would be better for him to help Rong Lan get rid of that fox.
"Forget it. Wait until I return to the country. You take me to meet her. Maybe she's not a fox I know," Rong Lan took three deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
She had just dreamed of her aunt an hour ago and heard from her aunt that Qing Zhi was missing. Fate couldn't be so cruel to her, could it? Did Qing Zhi really come to this world? But it was wrong. How did Qing Zhi come here? She shouldn't have that ability.
"Okay. When will you be able to return to the country?" Si Mo was very curious whether the suddenly - appeared fox had anything to do with Rong Lan.
"Probably in two or three days," Rong Lan said. The matter here seemed to be resolved, but there were still some follow - up tasks.
"I'll wait for you to come back before I take action."
After chatting about the strange fox, Si Mo hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Si Mo wandered on the street for half an hour. Finally, he still felt uneasy. He found an empty place, set up a formation and prepared to open the ghost gate.
Since there were originally no spirits in this world, the King of Hell in the underworld should be the one with the highest power, who mastered the general development process of this world.
He had to talk to the King of Hell to see if the King of Hell knew why a fox had broken into this world. He and the little fox had been staying in this world peacefully, but they couldn't guarantee that a fox with zero merit wouldn't cause trouble. Once that fox had bad intentions, this world would be in chaos in no time. After all, it was too easy to do bad things with magic.
After Rong Lan hung up the phone, she immediately pulled Chu Hengyuan to go to sleep. It was already three or four o'clock in the morning. If they didn't go to sleep, they would be listless during the day, which was not okay.
Moreover, she was used to practicing while sleeping. She had to practice as much as possible. If the fox Si Mo saw was her younger sister Qing Zhi...
She had to at least make sure that she wouldn't lose in a fight.
The little fox was so stimulated that she practiced while sleeping, secretly practiced while eating, and even practiced silently while sitting in the car, for fear that she would be at a disadvantage if she confronted Qing Zhi.
