“Wu.” The little fox clambered at his clothes.

Duan Yue’s lips could not help but reveal a faint smile.

That instant, the iciness pervading his eyes dissipated.

“Sigh.” He sighed as he picked up the little fox and set it on his shoulder. He patted it and said, “Chestnut, if Qiaoqiao saw how cute you look right now, she definitely won’t like you anymore.”

Chestnut ruffled his clothes and pointed at the sky and at the ground with its paw in protest.

“Tsk, isn’t it just advancing to eight tails? Yet you can’t transform anymore and even lost the ability to speak.”

“Wu, wu!!” The little fox was totally pissed.?This unreliable master was actually disdaining him? So infuriating!

So it was his fault?

If this master of his didn’t just suddenly start absorbing this whatever demon emperor’s bloodline out of nowhere, would he have advanced to become an eight-tailed heavenly fox?

“Chestnut, thank you for being here with me.” Duan Yue said softly while stroking the little fox’s glossy fur.

The little fox snuggled against his neck, but then it suddenly smacked his head and whimpered at him again while pointing up at the sky.

“Speak human language.” Duan Yue calmly pulled away its claw and gave it a look of distaste.

The little fox: …

Wait until I finish advancing into an eight-tailed heavenly fox. I will definitely blab in your ears every day, bothering you so much that you can’t sleep!

Fairy Huanghe had a restless sleep.

It wasn’t until noon the next day that she woke up with a start. She rolled off the bed and landed on her feet.

“Yo, you’re awake now. Hurry up and wash up, and then come down to eat lunch.”

A female voice that drifted in from the window startled her.

After washing and dressing, Huanghe headed down. She quickly hurried over upon seeing the people in the inn’s lobby.

Huanghe bowed toward Qiao Mu and the others in embarrassment. “I, I’ve made a spectacle yesterday.”

“Alright, sit down and eat.” Qiao Mu pointed next to her, gesturing for Fairy Huanghe to sit down.

After sitting down uneasily, Fairy Huanghe started explaining, “Little Savior, I…”

However, Qiao Mu broke her off.

“We already know your situation.”

The Shuntian Prefecture was big, but even if their people couldn’t infiltrate the official mansion, right now they had Dunzhu, an informer of the highest rank.

With enough purpose, there wasn’t anything they couldn’t uncover.

Qiao Mu did not expect Passionless Palace’s palace master to be part of Heavenly Fate.

At the beginning, she only suspected Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord Geng Pengcheng of colluding with Heavenly Fate. She didn’t expect that his wife too was connected to this heretical Heavenly Fate organization.

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together.

Fairy Huanghe looked at Qiao Mu gratefully. “Thank you so much for yesterday.”

“I didn’t help much.” Qiao Mu served her a bowl of rice. “Do you have any plans for the future?”

Fairy Huanghe shook her head cluelessly.

“Let me offer you a suggestion.” Miss Qiao deadpanned, “You can pay two years’ worth of boarding fees and come along with us for now.”

Everyone: !

…

“Cough. Cough, cough, cough.” Dao Wuji choked on a mouthful of soup.

Qiao Mu swept him a glance and turned to ask Mo Lian, “Hubby, did you collect fees?”

A certain crown prince who spoiled Qiaoqiao into having this habit of collecting fees silently twitched his mouth. He shook his head. “No, I didn’t.”

Qiao Mu gave him a look of disapproval that lamented at his huge loss. She turned to say to the Little Despot and Dao Wuji, “Pay up then.”
