Bai Lixin passed by the group of constables. He didn’t know what Zhang Biao had told them, but the constables who were usually talkative, seemed quiet.
When he passed by, the people looked at him with obvious embarrassment.
Bai Lixin ignored them and went straight into the magistrate’s study.
The case files from yesterday were still unfinished. After a busy day and night, he finally had the time to focus and read the remaining documents.
Approaching the bookshelf, Bai Lixin picked up the files he hadn’t finished yesterday and continued reading.
After reading a few lines, he felt a bit tired.
Deciding to make it easier, hw brought several more files from the bookshelf to his desk. He brewed a pot of Biluochun tea for himself and lit some refreshing incense.
Smelling the refreshing aroma of tea, he yawned and took a sip before opening the case files and flipping through them.
Thin white smoke wafted gently from the incense burner, and the young man resting on the desk yawned again.
Bai Lixin rubbed his eyes in confusion.
Strange, he could stay awake for ten days and nights without any problem. Now it was just one day, why was he so sleepy?
Could it be that he was getting old?
Heavens, no, was he really getting old?
Is the shelf life of gods so short?
Bai Lixin lifted the tea cup and took a gulp.
Suddenly, the cup made a “bang” sound as it landed on the desk.
His heavy robes fell onto the chair.
The young man who had just been lying on the desk disappeared.
Time passed by second by second, then the case files lying on the desk seemed to move on their own.
Then, a furry paw extended from under the files, followed by another, and another.
With a forceful kick, the files covering the creature were pushed aside.
Then it stretched its neck, lifted its four legs, and arched its body into a crescent moon shape before stretching out in a big lazy yawn.
The little fiery-red fox yawned comfortably, then stood up from the desk and looked around blankly.
‘Ah!
Heavens!!!
Why am I a fox again!!!
Aren’t I human?!!!
Help!’

In the live broadcast room
[Hahaha, I can feel God Xin’s shock even through the screen.]
[Stupefied fox.jpg.]
[Fox God Xin: Who am I, where am I, what am I?]
[Hahaha, so embarrassing, it’s both embarrassing and distressing, funny and cute, I can’t handle it.]
———————————-
Bai Lixin stood on the desk for a long time before he was finally forced to accept the reality of becoming a fox again.
He glanced at the pile of clothes on the chair, used all four legs and his teeth to drag the clothes to the wardrobe. It took considerable effort to stuff the clothes inside.
What if someone came in later and saw this pile of clothes on the desk? What if they thought he was an exhibitionist pervert?
Then wouldn’t his reputation be ruined.
After dragging the clothes into the corner, Bai Lixin, who was now a fluffy fox, drooped his head dispiritedly.
Why did he turn into a fox again?
Was it because he stayed up late last night? Bai Lixin seriously thought about the situations in which he had turned into a fox before.
The first time was when he drank too much alcohol (actually, he wasn’t really drunk), and Dijia forcibly turned him into a fox.
The second time was when he fell asleep in the monk’s temple.
The third time was when he fell asleep here.
Could it be?
Could it be that the fox is the true form of this body? So, when he becomes human, it consumes the fox’s power, and when the fox’s power is depleted, he needs to sleep to replenish his strength?
During this process of replenishing strength, he turns into a fox?
Bai Lixin: “…”
In that case, does this mean he can’t stay up late often?
This situation was troublesome.
The fox physique seems quite annoying.
He shook his tail irritably, and a crisp bell sound immediately rang out.
He turned around and found a bell tied to the tip of his big tail.
There was a ribbon threaded through the bell, and the ribbon was wrapped around his tail, even tied into a bow.
Whenever he swayed his tail, the bell would ring.
Bai Lixin sat down and moved his furry tail in front of him. This bell seemed somewhat familiar; wasn’t this Dijia’s staff?
So this little staff was still with him?
He had discovered two nights ago that the bell was missing after leaving the brothel. He had assumed it had returned to Dijia’s side, but it had actually been secretly hidden on his tail. He usually hid his tail when he transformed into a human, so naturally, the bell was hidden along with it.
Bai Lixin stared at the bell for a moment, then lay lethargically on the table like a salted fish, swaying his tail with the bell on it absentmindedly.
‘Little bell, I miss your owner. If only you could lead me to find your master.’
The bell, which had been swaying back and forth, suddenly nodded.
Bai Lixin froze for a moment, then quickly exclaimed, “Ahwo!”
‘Do you know where your master is?’
The bell nodded on its own again.
Bai Lixin’s eyes lit up suddenly, “Awoo awoo!”
‘Really? Then please lead me there quickly.’
After he exclaimed in fox language, the bell behind him suddenly exerted force in a certain direction.
Due to this force, his tail swayed in that direction, and from a distance, it looked like a little fox was playing with its tail.
Bai Lixin immediately jumped off the desk, “Are you saying we should go in this direction?”
The bell shook a few times.
The little fox happily exclaimed, “Ahwoo!” and directly pushed the door open and rushed out.
The servants were cleaning the courtyard when suddenly, a red shadow flashed past them.
“Hey, did you see something run by just now?”
“I didn’t see anything, what was it?”
“I saw a red flash just now.”
“Could it be a big black rat?”
“What are you talking about? Big black rats are black, what I saw just now was clearly red.”
“Then it must be a big red rat. Hurry up and clean, what else could it be? It’s broad daylight, could it be a ghost?”
“Fine, fine.”
Bai Lixin ran far away, but he could still hear the voices from the yamen: “…”
‘You guys are the big red rats!
I am a fox, a beautiful and charming fox!’
The little bell was very efficient. Every time they reached a fork in the road, it would shake the bell and pull Bai Lixin.
So, the fox and the bell embarked on a journey in the vast Qingcheng Town.
The little fox trotted in the alleys, and the bell swayed gracefully on its tail.
They ran for a long time and were finally blocked by a dead-end.
The previously excited little fox instantly felt low-spirited. He shook the bell on his tail and exclaimed, “Ahwoo.”
‘Where’s my husband?
Didn’t we agree that you would take me to find Dijia?!
Could it be that you just wanted to take a stroll on your own?!’
The bell shook vigorously in response.
The next moment, Bai Lixin noticed a transparent ripple-like wave appearing on the dead-end in front of him, almost invisible if you didn’t look closely.
He took a few steps closer and tentatively extended his paw inside.
The next second, his paw didn’t encounter any obstruction on the wall but went through it directly.
It turns out there’s a mechanism here!
Bai Lixin’s drooping ears perked up again. He let out an excited cry and jumped inside with a swift step.
Fanjia was meditating when he suddenly sensed a disturbance in the barrier.
He had just arrived at the barrier and hadn’t steadied himself yet when something red flew in from outside.
He instinctively caught it, and he instantly felt the softness and warmth of the object.
A pleasant bell sound also reached his ears.
Fanjia was momentarily stunned. He lowered his head and saw that it was the little fox.
The little fox obediently nestled in his arms, tilting its head, and looking at him with its big watery eyes, its tail swaying back and forth.
“Why did you turn into a fox again?” Fanjia asked, bewildered.
Little fox: “Aoao~”
‘Husband~ I’ve come to find you!’
Bai Lixin shouted happily, taking advantage of the fact that Fanjia didn’t understand fox language.
“Ahwooao~”
‘But I missed you so much, you smell so good.’
“Ahwoo~”
‘So fragrant, I want to kiss and hug you you.’
What he didn’t notice was that Fanjia’s body stiffened slightly.
“Ahem, ahem,” Fanjia coughed lightly, “Amitabha.”
The little fox nudged Fanjia’s chest with its furry head. “Aoao~”
‘Want to kiss so badly.’
Fanjia: “…”
Maybe it’s better to throw this audacious fox out.
The monk looked down at the innocent and harmless little fox, then glanced at the empty alley outside, and sighed lightly. He carried the little fox back to his meditation room.
Bai Lixin nestled in Fanjia’s arms comfortably, quietly surveying the surroundings.
It was the same layout as the temple on the mountain, with three rooms, and nothing more.
Upon entering the meditation room, Fanjia placed the little fox on a nearby chair. “I’m chanting sutras, benefactor. Please make yourself at home.”
With that, he no longer paid any attention to Bai Lixin and turned to the meditation cushion, kneeling down and chanting the scriptures softly.
After a cup of tea’s time, he heard a fox’s soft call. “Aoao~”
‘Husband, you’re so handsome.’
Fanjia furrowed his brows slightly.
Continue chanting.
After another half a cup of tea’s time, he heard the fox’s soft “aoao” again.
‘My husband can hold his breath for so long, I wonder how long a kiss would last?’
Fanjia pursed his lips.
He continued to chant.
After just two chants, he heard the third cry. “Aoaoao.”
‘But on closer inspection, my husband’s physique is quite good, I can even see his chest muscles through the neckline.’
Fanjia: “…”
Could someone tell him why he could understand fox language all of a sudden?
If he had known what the fox was thinking, he would have just kicked him out of the house!
Hmm, strange, why did he use the term “house”?
Fanjia silently opened his eyes. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He didn’t know when the fox demon had jumped onto the desk, and it was now in front of him. The fox demon now lay lazily on the desk, with its hind legs crossed, one front paw supporting its furry head, and the other front paw placed on its belly.
Its graceful figure surpassed that of most charming young ladies.
Seeing Fanjia looking at it, the little fox even winked at him.
Fanjia: “…”
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, Amitabha!
The fox demon’s crossed legs exchanged positions in mid-air, revealing its white belly. “Ah woo ah woo ah ah ah ah ah.”
‘How about it? Am I charming? Have you already fallen deeply into it and can no longer extricate yourself?
What are you waiting for? Come, hurry up, come on!
Not even eating the meat that’s right in front of your eyes? Husband, are you incapable of doing it?!’
The prayer beads in Fanjia’s hands instantly broke apart, and numerous Bodhi fruits fell to the ground, making a clattering sound as they rolled under the furniture, disappearing into the room.
Fanjia’s hands were trembling slightly. “…”
‘You, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about, demon!’
His face turned livid, and he quickly left.
Seeing the situation, Bai Lixin also jumped down from the desk.
He followed Fanjia out of the meditation room. When he turned his head, he saw the monk’s collar disappearing behind the bedroom door.
Bai Lixin hurriedly followed. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the monk had already taken off his shoes and was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes slightly closed, continuing his meditation.
Bai Lixin didn’t know what was going on with him. He didn’t call out and quietly jumped onto the bed, curled up in Fanjia’s arms, yawned, and closed his eyes to sleep.
He was very sleepy during his time at the yamen, and the excitement of looking for his husband made him forget his weariness. Now that he had found his husband, drowsiness came over him again.
After a long time, Fanjia slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the peacefully sleeping little fox in his arms, and unconsciously touched his own lips.
After a few days, he still remembered the taste of the young man’s lips.
Soft, warm, moist, with a faint floral scent, the fragrance mixed with the taste of blood filled every corner of his mouth like poppies, making him shiver and unable to let go.
The little fox emitted a soft “aoao” sound in its sleep.
‘Husband, I miss you.’
Fanjia’s cheeks blushed uncontrollably.
‘Husband?
Is he calling me?
What does he mean by calling him “husband”?’
The little fox in his arms slept soundly. Unbeknownst to him, Fanjia was also influenced by the fox’s drowsiness and let out a yawn.
Afraid of waking the sleeping fox, he lowered his eyes, adopting a meditation posture, and took a brief rest.
It was unknown how much time had passed when the monk suddenly felt his body grow heavy, and he woke up abruptly.
He looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes widening in shock.
History always repeats itself.
The little fox sleeping in his arms suddenly transformed into a human shape, and was straddling him.
Unlike the last time, this transformation seemed unsuccessful. Although most of it had turned into a human form, he could see the furry tail was still visible.
