Chapter 42 Fox Bai Qianqian Gets Jealous

"Hmm." Hu Bai lowered his eyes. Although he and Nan Zhisui had cleared up the misunderstanding, five years was too long, and there was still a sense of unfamiliarity between them, making it not so natural for them to get along.

Fox White paused slightly. "It's right that you have your own secrets. I wouldn't have been angry even if you hadn't told me. But since you told me... I'm very happy."

Having learned his lesson from not speaking up before, Hu Bai now understands that when communicating with the female master, it's important to express his thoughts and emotions appropriately.

He's really happy now.

Fox White and Fox Abandoned slept in the bedding, while Little Snake Yang and Little Wolf Cub curled up in the corner of the bedding.

Nan Zhisui took out a sleeping bag and slept on the other side of the fire.

Fox White lay on the ground covered with blankets, gazing leisurely in the direction of Nan Zhisui.

"My lady, are you asleep?"

Nan Zhisui turned around in her sleeping bag and looked at him. "Are the babies all asleep?"

"Ah."

Fox White apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before because I couldn't distinguish the truth. I haven't been very nice to you these past few days since you came to Stone Village."

“It’s okay, I was wrong too,” Nan Zhisui said.

In the darkness, Nan Zhisui's eyes shone brightly. Especially now that Nan Zhisui could activate her supernatural ability to draw starlight from the moon at any time, her beast ears grew out, her tail emerged, and her eyes gained night vision.

She could see Fox White clearly, and Fox White could see her clearly as well.

Fox White was a little nervous. He mustered his courage and asked again:

"Then, do you like me even the slightest bit?"

Fox White waited anxiously for her answer.

However, he heard Nan Zhisui's even breathing.

She actually fell asleep.

……

Nan Zhisui had another dream.

In her dream, she returned to this familiar space once again.

There are seven totems in the seven directions of the space. Six of them are still totems emitting black smoke, but the direction of the fox totem is gradually becoming brighter.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" Nan Zhisui walked through this dark space, feeling inexplicably afraid.

A snow-white fox totem gently appeared beside her, illuminating a small patch of the path beneath her feet.

Nan Zhisui reached out and touched the snow-white fox totem, and the totem and the small green leaves on it gently interacted with her.

"Thank you." Nan Zhisui smiled, pursing her lips.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a mermaid totem suddenly appeared in front of her from one direction. On the black mermaid totem was a small, tender-looking leaf.

The black mermaid totem was emitting black smoke and looked extremely angry!
Nan Zhisui turned and ran, the black mermaid totem giving chase!
The snow-white fox totem tried to protect Nan Zhisui, but when the sea turned beneath Nan Zhisui's feet, the fox totem could no longer move and could only anxiously wait on the shore.

Nan Zhisui swam hard, she swam with all her might, she swam and swam.

A black mermaid totem suddenly appeared in front of her and dragged her into the sea!

……

When Nan Zhisui woke up the next day, this time she had a slight memory of her dream.

She seemed to dream of foxes, mermaids, and the sea.
She couldn't recall the more detailed information.

It shouldn't be important.

The flood receded.

Nan Zhisui returned to Shicun with her family.

After the flood, the village was in a bit of a mess, and everyone was taking a headcount.

"Have you heard? The neighbor's fox cub was swept away by the flood!"

"My God, this flood is really bad. I'm afraid that little brat won't make it."

"Why is it raining so heavily during the rainy season? There's even been flooding."

"Who can say for sure?"

Then someone shouted, "Has anyone seen anyone from the Fox Purple family or the village chief Fox Heart's family?"

Has anyone seen it?

"No, I haven't seen any of Hu Zi or Hu Xin's family. That's strange."

When Nan Zhisui appeared with Hu Bai and the others, they heard someone shout, "Hu Bai's family is back!"

"The Fox White family is back!"

"The Fox White family has returned, but the Fox Heart and Fox Purple families haven't. None of their adult beastmen are back, only the cubs!"

"What happened? Could something have gone wrong?"

"Wait a little longer. Maybe they're hiding high up and coming back late." Fox White coughed weakly as he asked the villagers, trying to find out more information.

"Do you need any help?"

Seeing that Fox White was so weak and of no use, the orcs of Stone Village gave up. "No need, no need. You've been caught in the rain too. Go back and rest."

Nan Zhisui whispered to Hu Bai, "They haven't found anything. Let's see if the little one from the Hu Zi family knows anything."

Fox White whispered to Nan Zhisui with a smile, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if they find out, they won't be able to find us. Let's go back to the cave first."

Back in the cave, it was indeed filled with mud from the flood. Nan Zhisui frowned at the sight.

"This cave is remote and damp, and it's easy for it to flood when it rains. It's too dangerous and we can't live in it at all."

Fox Abandoned grasped Nan Zhisui's hand and looked up at her nervously. "Mother. If you don't like it here, how about Father and I find another cave to live in together? We're sure we can find a suitable cave."

They'll do anything as long as their mother doesn't abandon them. But their mother absolutely mustn't despise them, she mustn't abandon them.

Nan Zhisui hesitated.

Fox White lowered his eyes and asked her, "Can you tell me what you're thinking?"

Nan Zhisui glanced at Hu Bai, then at Hu Qi, and cleared her throat. She said, "I'm thinking, since Stone Village isn't good to you anyway, and you're not happy living there, why don't you... come with me?"

Nan Zhisui, fearing their rejection, quickly explained, "Although I am currently homeless and not entirely sure what I am supposed to do or what tasks I need to perform, I will do my best to take care of you and shoulder the responsibilities of being a female!"

"Fox White, Aqi... say something! Are you willing to come with me?"

The more Nan Zhisui talked, the more afraid she became of their rejection, and the more nervous she became.

Fox White burst out laughing.

Fox Abandoned couldn't help but chuckle.

The little fox tugged at Nan Zhisui's sleeve, its eyes sparkling, looking both adorable and cute.

"Of course it's great. Aqi has been so happy these days."

Whether they live in a cave or outside, Aqi feels at ease as long as he's with his mother.

Wherever Mother goes, Aqi will go! I only beg Mother not to abandon Aqi again.

Nan Zhisui patted Xiao Aqi's head, "No, no, Hu Qi is so good, Mother won't abandon you."

Fox White also smiled and said, "You are my mistress, so there's nothing to hesitate about in following you."

This time, she really didn't abandon them.

*
The cave was full of mud, and one person couldn't clean it all up.

Moreover, Hu Bai had an injury to his waist and abdomen, and Nan Zhisui couldn't bear to let Hu Bai overwork himself.

So, Nan Zhisui circled around the cave entrance and brought back four young fox-beastmen to clean the cave for them.

The four young orcs were full of energy!
"Nan Zhisui, are you cleaning this cave?"

"Correct."

"Does the animal skin mat need to be washed too?"

"Correct."

"Don't worry, we will definitely help you clean the cave."

Nan Zhisui smiled and said, "Okay."

Fox White frowned slightly. He looked at Nan Zhisui, and then at the four young fox beastmen.

A sour smell wafted over. Fox Abandoned quickly took the little snake and went to play elsewhere.

Before long, thanks to the efforts of the four young male orcs, the Fox White family's cave was cleaned up and made exceptionally bright!

Nan Zhisui took out four Isatis root plants and handed them to them: "These four plants are medicines that can treat colds and coughs. If you don't believe me, you can take them and ask a shaman. This is your reward for your work!"

The four fox-orcs had flushed cheeks. They all said:

"We don't need your medicine. We're happy to be of help."

"That's right, Nan Zhisui. If you're ever willing to accept a new beast husband, remember to consider me."

"Me too. I'm strong and healthy, and I work very hard."

"And me too, please remember me!"

After saying that, the four male fox-like beastmen, with Fox White's murderous gaze, left with the medicine.

When Nan Zhisui brought back the animal skin skirts that the fox beastmen had washed and dried, carrying a wooden bucket, she saw Hu Bai staring at her with a sour look.

She couldn't help but chuckle and playfully pinched his high, straight nose. "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Nan Zhisui explained to him in a good mood, "My exchange of witchcraft for their labor is an equal exchange, which will make things easier for both of us."

Nan Zhisui added, "Fox White, I only want their labor force; I have no interest in them."
