As he spoke, he threw the removed gauze into the trash can.
Rong Lan turned around. Sure enough, just as he said, her tail had recovered remarkably well, even better than her ears. However, only the wound had healed; the fox fur hadn't grown back yet, making her tail look bald and ugly.
She circled around her tail, her mind filled with thoughts of how to hide it. Looking at such an ugly tail for too long would easily make her depressed. After all, she could avoid seeing her fox ears as long as she didn't look in the mirror, but her tail was right there whenever she turned her head.
Or... not hide it? Anyway, her brother thought she was a fox fairy. As a powerful fox fairy, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to grow fox fur overnight.
Chu Hengyuan had no idea that the little fox was going to let things slide. So, after just one night's sleep, when he woke up and went to the second bedroom to check on the little fox, he saw a fluffy fox tail. He was startled and almost suspected that the little fox had secretly tampered with his memory.
The little fox's tail had been bald last night, but in just one night, the fox fur on the tail had grown long and beautiful.
Rong Lan had spent the whole night practicing hard to get such a beautiful fox tail. She was sleeping soundly and had no idea that the person who respectfully called her "Fox Fairy Lady" had secretly touched her fox tail before going to work.
When Rong Lan woke up and turned to see her fluffy fox tail, she stretched out her paw to hug it. She rubbed her face against the tip of the tail lovingly, her eyes filled with tears of emotion. "My tail is finally back."
The little ragdoll cat lying beside her curiously stretched out its paw to touch its mother's big tail. "Meow~"
Rong Lan let little Amber touch it and asked with a smile, "Little Amber, do you think my tail is beautiful?"
"Meow~"
"Good! I've understood your compliment! To reward you, little Amber, for telling the truth, I'll take you to hide all the dried fish at home in your private cat territory. When brother comes home tonight and can't find the dried fish, he'll buy more. Then you'll have endless dried fish."
"Meow~"
That night, Chu Hengyuan wanted to open a packet of dried fish as a snack for Amber. However, when he reached up to the top of the fridge, he found nothing.
Chu Hengyuan: "???"
Where were the dried fish he had put on top of the fridge?
Could the two little guys have eaten all the dried fish at home?
No. To show his respect for the Fox Fairy Lady, he had left two roasted chickens for the little fox. With two roasted chickens, the little fox couldn't have been eyeing Amber's dried fish.
He took off his apron and walked into the living room. A cat and a fox were obediently curled up on the sofa watching TV. He walked up to them and blocked their view. "Amber, did you eat all the eight packets of dried fish left at home today?"
"Meow~" Daddy was so silly. How could it, a single cat, have eaten so many packets of dried fish?
"You mean you didn't eat the dried fish? If you didn't eat them, where did the dried fish at home go? It can't be that the Fox Fairy Lady ate them, right?" Chu Hengyuan glanced at the little fox, who was already looking guilty. "The Fox Fairy Lady has noble morals and would never steal dried fish."
Rong Lan waved her tail and lowered her head guiltily.
She really hadn't stolen the dried fish, and neither had little Amber. But they had hidden the dried fish under the bed in the second bedroom.
Did brother remember exactly how many packets of dried fish were left at home?
Then did brother know about the dried fish Amber had hidden before?
Chu Hengyuan reached out and rubbed the little ragdoll cat's head. "Go and find the dried fish obediently, or you won't get any dried fish for the next eight days."
However, Chu Amber, relying on its backer, ignored Chu Hengyuan.
Chu Hengyuan wasn't the kind of lenient father who spoiled his children. Even though he could go downstairs to buy another packet of dried fish, he didn't. That night, he only opened a can of cat food for the little ragdoll cat.
Little Amber, who didn't get to eat the dried fish, wasn't angry because it had a backer.
At around one o'clock that night, Chu Hengyuan tiptoed out of his room and pressed the remote control.
The lights in the living room came on.
The cat and the fox were startled and turned their heads in unison.
Chu Hengyuan glanced at the dried fish in Amber's bowl and raised his eyebrows leisurely. "Sure enough, you two had hidden the dried fish at home."
When he told Amber that it wouldn't get any dried fish for the next eight days, the little look of arrogance on Amber's face made him sure that the two little guys would cause trouble at night.
Sure enough—
He had come out just in time. There was still half a packet of dried fish in Amber's bowl.
"This is both human and material evidence, isn't it?" He smiled and walked closer, crouching in front of the two little guys.
Caught red - handed, Rong Lan turned her head and stared at the air, avoiding his gaze guiltily.
"Meow!" The little ragdoll cat was very brave. Relying on its mother, it glared fiercely at daddy.
Chu Hengyuan first stroked the little ragdoll cat's head and then reached out to touch the guilty little fox. "The Fox Fairy Lady isn't practicing at night but is leading Amber to steal food?"
Rong Lan waved her tail and didn't intend to answer him.
How could this be considered stealing? She just thought little Amber was hungry, so she opened a packet of dried fish for it as a midnight snack. She had overcome great fear to carry the dried fish with little Amber to the dark living room and open it.
Fortunately, they hadn't eaten the dried fish in the second bedroom. Otherwise, with her brother's intelligence, he would surely have guessed that the remaining dried fish were in the second bedroom. Being caught this time was unexpected, but at least the remaining dried fish were safe.
"Forget it." Chu Hengyuan had only come out to catch them because it was fun. He didn't intend to argue with them. "Go to sleep early after you finish this packet of dried fish. Don't eat any more. Understand?"
Seeing that its dried fish were safe, the little ragdoll cat softened its attitude. "Meow~"
Chu Hengyuan shook his head helplessly. "Good night."
"Meow~"
Chu Hengyuan knew that the two little guys could see in the dark, but he still worried that they might bump into something in the dark. Before going back to his room to sleep, he still left the remote control for them. He didn't turn off the living room lights and told the all - powerful Fox Fairy Lady to turn off the lights for him before going back to sleep.
Rong Lan wanted to pretend she didn't understand, but leaving the lights on would waste electricity. She had no choice but to deign to poke the remote control with her fox paw and then ran back to the second bedroom with the full little Amber.
After practicing all night again, when Rong Lan woke up during the day, she first called Si Mo on the tablet and then told the little ragdoll cat, which never left her side, "Little Amber, I have to go out. I'll be back before brother gets off work. You stay at home obediently, okay?"
Her cultivation had recovered very well, and she had to secretly go to the hospital to check on Bai Ronglan's body.
The little ragdoll cat tilted its head. "Meow~"
"You're so good."
Afraid of scaring the cat, Rong Lan didn't use the teleportation spell directly in front of little Amber. Instead, she first created an illusion so that little Amber would see the scene of her opening the door and going out normally. Then she used the invisibility spell and the teleportation spell together and headed straight for the address of the private hospital given by Si Mo.
