Leng Yuhan and Leng Yan walked into the closet and did not see the little fox on the bed. Leng Yuhan frowned and a cold look appeared on his face.
“Where did the sly little fox hide?” Leng Yuhan looked around in the secret room but did not see the little fox. He frowned and said, “Little fox, you can’t run out of this secret room. If you don’t come out, just hide in a corner today and starve!”
Leng Yan glanced at Leng Yuhan and shook his head somewhat helplessly. Second Brother was never someone who cared about such little matters, why is he bickering with a fox now?
The little fox was caught by Second Brother, and it was inevitable to be afraid in an unfamiliar environment. Hiding when they were not paying attention was just a sign of fear.
The little fox hid under the cabinet when its ears moved. The adulterer threatens me with food? Hmph, then I’ll just starve. Don’t try to trick me to come out, I rather starve than to let you take out half of my blood.
The little fox’s head was buried in its fluffy back, and its black eyes were misty.
Master, when can you come out? I’m so scared, so scared that a lot of my blood will be taken.
The little fox thought of Feng Lingran again. Is the battle over? Feng Lingran was so invincible on the battlefield, he wouldn’t be injured, right? If he returned to the barracks and found that I’m missing, would he look for me?
Thinking about it, the little fox’s nose was a little runny, and dug its head into the hair on its back. Four fluffy tails covered its head like blankets, and tears came out. No one could see it, but its body was shaking slightly. Feng Lingran must have thought that I hadn’t returned to the barracks, and would never think that I was caught by the adulterer. Feng Lingran would probably not look for me!
After who knows how long.
The little fox lifted its head from its tail and blinked its eyes. When it woke up, it was hungry.
After a while.
The little fox was unbearably hungry, so it poked its fluffy head out from under the cabinet. Its round eyes glanced around, but it didn’t see the adulterer’s ugly face. So, it crawled out of the cabinet quietly.
The little fox sniffed, sneaked into the inner room, and saw the beautiful woman sitting on a stool. She was holding a needle and thread in her hand, repairing a blue robe. On the table next to the beautiful woman, there was a piece of meatloaf, with a seductive scent. The little fox swallowed her saliva.
The beautiful woman repaired her robe. After sewing the last stitch, she turned around and saw a little white fox that was snow-white. She was surprised and followed the little fox’s gaze to see the meat pie on the table. The beautiful woman smiled.
“Little spirit fox, are you hungry?” The beautiful woman’s voice was very soft. She put down the robe and brought the meat pie on the table to the little fox, “Go ahead and eat!”
The little fox was not afraid of people and was not courteous to the beautiful women. It was really hungry, so it opened its mouth and ate.
After eating a piece of meatloaf, the little fox was full. When it was about to turn around to leave, it suddenly felt a cool air on its back, as if a pair of cold poisonous hands were about to grab it.
The little fox jumped, without thinking, into the arms of the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman looked at the little fox in her arms, hugged it with a smile, and saw Leng Yuhan coming in. She said gently, “Little Han, why don’t you take a little more rest? It’s not dawn yet.”
“Greetings, Mother,” said Leng Yuhan as he bowed.
The smile on the beautiful woman’s face faded. She shook her head and said, “Kyushu City has been breached. I am no longer the owner of the city. Just call me mom!”
“Mom.” Leng Yuhan saw that the beautiful woman seemed to have aged, and he was secretly sad. He thought about his two younger brothers who were still in Feng Lingran’s hands. Although his mother said nothing, she was very worried.
Leng Yuhan’s eyes fell on the little fox in the arms of the beautiful woman, and he sneered in his heart. This sly little fox thought that I can’t do anything if it hid in Mom’s arms?
“Mom, you just recovered, so don’t tire yourself out. Let me handle this little fox!”
Leng Yuhan reached out to take the little fox in the arms of the beautiful woman.
*Squeak…*
The little fox seemed to be frightened, and it panicked in the arms of the beautiful woman.
Leng Yuhan grabbed the little fox’s body, but was bitten by the little fox. Blood ran down his fingers.
“Little Han.” The beautiful woman yelled as a concerned look appeared on his face.
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” Leng Yuhan glared at the little fox, “Although this is a spirit fox, it has a sharp and pointy mouth, so it’s a spirit fox that could harm others. Mom, please don’t hold this biting spirit fox anymore.”
Say it!
Leng Yuhan held the little fox in his hand.
The beautiful woman had a lingering fear. When she saw Leng Yuhan grabbing the little fox and raised it in the air, the little fox’s claws kept frantically moving around in the air. The white fur on its back was also scratched and wrinkled by Leng Yuhan. A panicked look appeared on its face.
The beautiful woman couldn’t bear it, “Little Han, this spirit fox saved my life, don’t hurt it.”
The little fox turned her head, looked towards the beautiful woman, and saw that the beautiful woman was looking at it tenderly. She did not blame it for scratching Leng Yuhan. The little fox was moved and suddenly felt warmth surrounding it.
“Mom, rest assured. I won’t hurt it.”
After Leng Yuhan finished speaking, he put the little fox in his arms and carried it out of the room.
The adulterer was full of lies. When the little fox opened its mouth and was about to bite Leng Yuhan, he pinched the fox’s mouth.
Leng Yuhan had a cold look, “Little fox, you are very brave. You’ll see how I’ll teach you a lesson.”
He was almost crushing its mouth with great strength. The little fox’s mouth was hurting. Anger appeared in its black eyes, it raised its claws and scratched hard against Leng Yuhan’s hands. Angered appeared in Leng Yuhan’s eyes as his arm gripped on the little fox’s body, while his empty hand grasped the paw that the little fox used to scratch.
At this moment, a violet ray flashed and hit Leng Yuhan’s body, and he frowned fiercely.
The little fox’s mouth was pulled out of Leng Yuhan’s hand, biting the big hand that was grabbing it. Seeing that Leng Yuhan was glaring at it, the little fox laughed out loud. It ran along his arm and climbed on Leng Yuhan’s shoulder.
The little fox gave Leng Yuhan a slap.
This slap was a pay back for digging traps and catching it, and even selling her into the brothel.
The little fox gave Leng Yuhan another slap.
This slap was a pay back for taking its blood to save his mother, and for wanting to take half of its blood to serve as a blood elixir.
Leng Yuhan’s face was covered with the little fox’s claw, and his expression completely turned unsightly. If his eyes could kill someone, Leng Yuhan’s eyes could kill the little fox ten thousand times now.
Damn little fox, not only did it learn finger arts, but also learned about acupoints? It really is a sly small beast.
The little fox saw Leng Yuhan’s murderous complexion and was satisfied.
Adulterer, don’t you know how to tap on the acupuncture points? How does it feel to be tapped? Is it nice?
The little fox showed its sharp canine teeth, facing the side of Leng Yuhan’s face, and it seemed to want to destroy half his face.
“Little beast, you dare to bite my face? When I break through this acupoint, I will crush you into thousands of pieces,” said Leng Yuhan in anger.
Thousands of pieces?
Who are you lying to?
Don’t forget, you still need to take me to Feng Lingran in exchange for your two brothers!
The little fox’s sharp canine teeth moved to Leng Yuhan’s pointy nose bridge. Seeing Leng Yuhan’s eyes almost becoming cross-eyed and revealing a rare look of panic, the little fox was satisfied in its heart.
Adulterer, so you can be afraid too!
The little fox’s canine teeth dug into Leng Yuhan’s nose bridge. With a little bit of force, it could penetrate his nose bridge, just enough to make a hole in his nose bridge and leave a mark.
Hahaha…
Leng Yuhan felt that sharp canine teeth stabbed on the bridge of his nose, and his heart trembled. It didn’t matter if it bit him elsewhere, but this was his face. If this sinister and mean little fox really bit his nose, how would he go out and meet people in the future?
The little beast’s desire for revenge was too strong.
“Little fox, there are some things you should consider before you make a move. You slander me and I’ll destroy you.”
Come! Let’s hurt each other!
The little fox’s canine teeth pierced into Leng Yuhan’s nose, and when it heard his low growl, the little fox was relieved.
Suddenly.
The little fox’s body was grabbed by a big hand and dragged. It raised its fluffy head and saw Leng Yan’s handsome face.
Leng Yan glanced at Leng Yuhan’s bleeding nose and bruised face, and reached out to unlock Leng Yuhan’s acupuncture points.
“Little beast, I will kill you.”
Leng Yuhan was completely furious, so he reached for the little fox in Leng Yan’s arms, and he seemed to want to slice it into thousands of pieces.
Leng Yan held the little fox and took a step back, avoiding Leng Yuhan’s hand.
“Second Brother, don’t cause trouble.”
“Big Brother, give me the little fox, it’s really abominable.” It slapped him twice and also broke the bridge of his nose, so he couldn’t be blamed for having the intention to take revenge.
“It’s really abominable for biting your nose. Then again, you caught it, cut its forelimbs, and took its blood. To it, aren’t you more abominable?” Leng Yan also did not expect that one day, he would speak for a little fox. However, seeing that little fox’s round eyes, like the beautiful young man, Leng Yan couldn’t bear to see Leng Yuhan bullying it so much.
That beautiful young man saved his life, and this little fox saved his mother’s life.
In any case, Leng Yuhan should not treat this little fox so.
The little fox looked at Leng Yan, Well said! It hated Leng Yuhan very much now.
Leng Yuhan looked at Leng Yan inconceivably, he seemed very surprised that Leng Yan would speak for a little fox like this.
“Well, that’s the end of this matter. Feng Lingran will come here soon. Let’s take the little fox out and exchange it with Feng Lingran!”
Leng Yuhan heard the words and was shocked. The brothers had a tacit understanding. Leng Yuhan knew that Feng Lingran must not come here; he could not let his father and mother be captured by Feng Lingran and become prisoners.
Leng Yuhan took out a piece of parchment from his sleeve, covered the injured bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice, “Big Brother, once this spirit fox has reached Feng Lingran’s hands, there is no possibility of getting it back. Other than the fireweed, only its blood could cure the plague. If Second and Third Brother also contracted the plague, but we let go of this spirit fox…”
After a moment.
The little fox looked at the large porcelain bowl, its claws were held by Leng Yuhan. Leng Yan held a dagger and cut its forelimb. This time, blood flowed much faster than the last time.
The little fox heard Leng Yan saying over its head to not be afraid; he would not kill it. There was a sneer in the corner of the little fox’s mouth. Both of their surnames is cold [1]… they are really brothers…
[1] In Chinese, the original text “Leng (冷)” is cold. The Author also connected their surname with cold-blooded in this context.
