The fox shook its head, "I have examined carefully and hoped to find one or two children still alive, even if only the souls of the children, but unfortunately, there were none."
"None?" Chang Tai stood up in a daze. "I must return and report this to my lord. Such a criminal cannot be left unchecked."
"Lord Chang!" The fox reached out to stop him. "Do you think your holy empress will allow your lord to deal with Wei Shu's schemes?"
Chang Tai was taken aback, thinking for a long time before he shook his head slightly.
"Rest assured, I and the Fox Demon will handle the matters of Wei Village. The Yin Corpse Land is not an ordinary place. I ask that you take more precautions after returning. As for the children in the city, without the help of that yellow weasel, it won't be easy for Wei Shu to steal them. We just need to strengthen the patrols in the city and instruct the parents to keep a close watch on their children."
Chang Tai nodded, not saying a word, and staggered out.
Xing Ruyi watched Chang Tai's retreating figure with some concern and said, "Will he be alright? The yellow weasel, Yin Corpse Land, infant jars—these things we heard tonight are beyond his understanding. I'm really worried that he won't be able to accept it all at once. What if he starts questioning this world?"
"Don't worry, your Brother Chang is not that fragile." The fox reached out and pulled Xing Ruyi into an embrace. "After all, he is a well-known head constable in Luoyang City. No matter how bizarre these matters are, they are just a darker aspect of human nature. Compared to the deceit among adults, whether it's demons eating people or people eating people, these are just rare cases. Trust me, among the cases he has handled, there are certainly things even harder for him to accept than this."
"What about Wei Shu's schemes? If he weren't sick, the doctor wouldn't have prescribed such flattering medicine for him, and the yellow weasel wouldn't have harbored such malicious thoughts that led to the deaths of so many innocent children."
"Don't worry; such people will eventually face their reckoning." The fox pointed upwards, its beautiful eyes falling down again. "What should we do? I'm tired! You, lull me to sleep?"
"Dream on!" Xing Ruyi pushed the fox away with her hands on her hips, looking at him. "So when are you going to marry me?"
"Are you so eager to marry me?" The fox stretched out its long arm again and pulled Xing Ruyi back into its embrace, resting its chin on her forehead and smiling at her lips that were pouting in anger.
"You want me to lull you to sleep but don't plan on marrying me anytime soon. What? Do you want to treat me like a free nanny? A wet nurse?" Xing Ruyi poked the fox's chest hard with her hand. "Stinky Fox, you're thinking too beautifully!"
"Fox Demon!" The fox changed from its previous teasing demeanor and became serious, its gaze softening like a pool of water illuminated by the moonlight.
"What are you doing?" Under that gentle gaze, Xing Ruyi's heart began to race uncontrollably.
"I really have thought about marrying you!" The fox said as it leaned down to steal a kiss.
Xing Ruyi felt shy and hesitant, but after thinking it over, she realized that what the fox had just said was somewhat incorrect.
"Hey! Stinky Fox, what do you mean by saying you really thought about marrying me?"
With a strong push, the fox that had been getting closer to her instantly transformed into a puff of white smoke. When the smoke cleared, Xing Ruyi saw only a White Fox lying on the ground, too tired to open its eyes.
Xing Ruyi knew that the fox had definitely gone through a tough battle tonight. It was a sight so disheveled that she had only seen it once before when he brought her into this world.
The words the fox had just spoken flashed through her mind, casually yet revealing a fact to her and Chang Tai.
Millennia-old Ghost stinks; he doesn't want to dirty his clothes anymore!
Xing Ruyi understood that the kind-hearted fox must have done something in the Underworld, and that exhaustion and unpleasant smell were left behind by the Millennia-old Ghost.
Bending down, she gently picked up the fox and placed it beside her on the couch. She leaned down and kissed White Fox on the forehead: “Stinky Fox, even if you play tricks and refuse to marry me, I will cling to you for a lifetime. Don't worry; your life is long, but mine is short. At most, I will cling to you until I'm fifty or sixty years old. By then, with white hair and an ugly appearance, even if you don't drive me away, I will hide myself.”
As she spoke, Xing Ruyi felt a wave of sadness wash over her. Wiping away the tears that were about to fall from her cheeks, she stood up, grabbed the cloak resting in the corner of the bed, opened the door, and walked out.
The previously exhausted fox opened its eyes. It knew that this Fox Demon would not stay home obediently; she would definitely sneak into the Underworld under the cover of night. Wei Shu's scheme was his last outlet for Fox Demon.
Fortunately, Millennia-old Ghost had already been dealt with; otherwise, he would have to sacrifice his sleep to watch over her. Adjusting himself into a comfortable position, his snow-white ears drooped down as he decided to replenish his energy before Xing Ruyi returned from her business.
Just as his eyes closed, he heard a long wail of an infant. The fox activated its divine vision and saw a deep blood-red hue. This blood mist was a symbol of demons. Following the wail, his consciousness arrived in Yin Yuan's room. The baby surprisingly sat upright in the cradle with a serious expression, staring directly westward.
As if sensing the fox's divine vision, Yin Yuan pouted.
“While Wei Shu's schemes have turned demonic, you still have time to play with divine vision here. Stinky Fox, let me tell you, if anything happens to my mother, I don't care if you're an Azure Fox Immortal, I'll still eat you!”
Yin Yuan opened her mouth to reveal two terrifying fangs!
In the bedroom, the fox opened its eyes. In an instant, it teleported to Yin Yuan's room and pulled the still-gaping, fang-baring Yin Yuan into its embrace, without a word, and gave a light knock on his head.
"Why didn't you sense that Wei Shu had turned into a demon earlier?"
"That's nonsense; I just sensed it too," Yin Yuan pouted in grievance.
"As a ghostly infant demon soul, you're really useless!"
"And you’re an ancient deity from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, yet you can't even keep an eye on your own wife!"
"You—" The fox glared angrily.
"What about me? If you can't take care of my mother, I'll just find another father for myself," Yin Yuan said defiantly, crossing his chubby arms and looking provocatively at the fox.
"Forget it! Let's go find the Fox Demon!" The fox started to walk out, but Yin Yuan stubbornly hooked his legs around the cradle. "Wait a minute, I'm still half-naked!"
"Such a hassle!" The fox casually grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Yin Yuan. Yin Yuan frowned in disdain: "This is the bath towel my mother gave me; it's specifically for wiping feet."
The fox felt overwhelmed by the noise in its ears and pulled the cloth up, covering Yin Yuan's face.
