The little fox raised her head, her heterochromatic eyes glinting with a fierce light. She bared her teeth and glared at him menacingly, trying to scare him off and stop him from asking so many questions.
However, she failed. All she saw in her brother's eyes was an almost cold calmness.
Rong Lan: "???" Doubting her fox life. What was going on? Wasn't she fierce enough?
Could it be that subconsciously, she thought of him as her partner, so she just couldn't be fierce with him?
What she didn't know was that Chu Hengyuan was just slow to react for a moment. Since he knew she was his little wife, no matter how menacingly she showed her teeth, he only found her cute. For a moment, he forgot that he should play along and pretend to be scared.
But it was obviously too late to pretend once he realized it. He could only maintain his calm demeanor. "Is it because Lanlan is a powerful fortune - teller that she knows you? Can fortune - tellers communicate with spirits? She left in such a hurry. Could she be dealing with something in the metaphysical world?"
Rong Lan: "..." Her brother's imagination was far more vivid than she had expected.
Moreover, she learned this excuse. She could use it when she returned to her human body and went home. If he asked why he couldn't reach her, she could say that she had gone deep into the mountains to exorcise demons and the phone signal was poor.
Chu Hengyuan, who deliberately threw this excuse to the little fox, kept his good deed a secret. Then he continued to tease the little fox. "It's okay if you don't want to admit that you're a fox spirit. Anyway, in my eyes, you're not an ordinary little fox. If you're not an ordinary fox, you probably won't starve to death without roast chicken, right?"
Rong Lan: "???" Not starve to death without roast chicken? Her brother's thought was very dangerous.
She slapped his hand with her paw, scrunched up her fox face, and let out an angry growl at him, trying to threaten him that if he didn't fill her up with roast chicken, she would sneak into his room in the middle of the night and eat him like a roast chicken.
It was the first time Chu Hengyuan heard the little fox make a sound. This time, he reacted quickly. He leaned back slightly, pretending to be startled, and his tone became colder. "Are you threatening me?"
Rong Lan rubbed his hand with her sharp claws, showing him with actions that she was indeed threatening him. Her claws were very sharp, sharp enough to cut through a human's throat.
Chu Hengyuan was not willing to give in. He reached out and took away the roast chicken in front of the little fox.
Rong Lan: "???" Was her brother that brave?
No way! She estimated that she would have to maintain this form for another two or three days. It would be very painful not to have anything to eat for the next two or three days. Since he had already decided that she was not an ordinary fox, don't blame her for being rude.
Just as Chu Hengyuan put the roast chicken on the coffee table, a blurry shadow flashed in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a furry creature pouncing towards him. He was startled and almost fought back.
Fortunately, he saw the little fox's beautiful heterochromatic eyes in time.
The little fox, whose roast chicken had been confiscated, was extremely angry. She pushed off with her hind legs, leaped forward, and pounced on Chu Hengyuan. She pressed her two front paws on his neck and stared at him menacingly.
Chu Hengyuan stared at the bristling little fox, raised his eyebrows, and was not the least bit flustered. "Do you want to hurt me?"
Rong Lan showed him with actions - yes.
Chu Hengyuan didn't resist. There was a hint of a confident smile in his eyes. "You wouldn't dare."
Rong Lan: "???" Why did he think so? If it were another monster controlling his artery, there was a ninety - percent chance that he would bleed to death on the spot.
Her brother's self - preservation awareness was still too weak. This wouldn't do. Later, when she took him home, what if they met some evil monsters? It seemed that she had to train his reaction to danger.
The little fox pressed her paws on the man's neck a bit harder, giving him enough pressure without hurting him.
"You wouldn't dare to kill me, because I have a backer." Chu Hengyuan's eyes were tinged with a smile. "If I get hurt, how are you going to explain it to Lanlan?"
Rong Lan tilted her head. It was obvious that he meant that she was his backer.
The feeling of being relied on made the fox quite comfortable. Rong Lan suddenly thought that it was okay for her to skip one or two meals of roast chicken.
"Meow~" The little ragdoll cat tilted its head and watched its daddy and mommy. Daddy was half - lying on the sofa, and mommy was stepping on daddy. They were playing around, and it seemed that they both forgot that mommy's tail still had the gauze on.
Hearing the little ragdoll cat's meow, Rong Lan turned to look at the cat. However, besides the cute little ragdoll cat sitting obediently, she also saw her own tail wrapped like a mummy.
She immediately lost the desire to threaten Chu Hengyuan. She silently got off him, turned around, and pointed her tail at him, wanting him to remove the gauze from her tail.
Her ears had recovered so well. Her tail should be no different. She couldn't wait to see the fur grow back on her tail.
Chu Hengyuan understood what the little fox meant.
He first put the plate of roast chicken in front of her, then picked up the scissors. "I won't fight you for food, Fairy Fox."
Fairy Fox? Rong Lan turned to look at him. Why did he think she was a fairy fox?
"Am I wrong?" Sensing the little fox's confused gaze, Chu Hengyuan smiled at her. "Your aura is not like that of a monster. It's like those immortals in white robes floating in the air that I've seen on TV. So I'm right, aren't I? You're a fairy fox."
Rong Lan twitched her ears and proudly turned her head away. She was completely pleased. Although she hadn't become a fairy fox yet, being regarded as one was still a happy thing for the fox.
The little fox's happiness was very simple. Seeing those upright fox ears, Chu Hengyuan shook his head and laughed. It seemed that his flattery had hit the mark? The little fox liked being called a fairy fox?
"Fairy Fox, do you know where my wife is? Since Fairy Fox is so powerful, you must know the answer to such a simple question, right?" Chu Hengyuan pretended to be respectful.
Rong Lan, who was being called "Fairy Fox" one after another, almost lifted her tail to the sky. But Chu Hengyuan was clearly putting her on a pedestal. If she said she didn't know, wouldn't her status in his mind plummet?
But she couldn't answer either. Once she spoke, she would be exposed.
"Is Fairy Fox not willing to answer? It seems that I haven't taken good care of Fairy Fox. For such a small thing, Fairy Fox is not willing to tell me." Seeing that the little fox didn't say a word, Chu Hengyuan made up an excuse for himself.
Rong Lan, who was dizzy with joy from being called "Fairy Fox", proudly let out a grunt as a response to Chu Hengyuan's words.
"It seems that I'm right." Chu Hengyuan held back his laughter. "Fairy Fox's tail has recovered very well. You can turn around and take a look."
