Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

"What's wrong, Ayu?"

His voice still carried a heavy sleepiness as he rubbed his eyes and looked at Ran Cang.

Ran Cang pointed to the two foxes on the ground and said in surprise, "Look, they seem to have made up."

Her face beamed with a delighted smile, and her eyes sparkled.

Sui Si looked in the direction Ran Cang pointed and saw two foxes seemingly leaning against each other affectionately.

The red fox stuck out its tongue and stretched it towards the white fox's head, but the white fox disdainfully pushed the red fox's head away with its paw.

The little fox was no longer as wary as before, and instead started wagging its tail.

The red fox nestled against the white fox's body, letting out joyful calls.

"This... is really strange."

Sui Si rubbed his eyes, looking puzzled.

He looked at the two foxes, his eyes filled with surprise.

Ran Cang excitedly jumped off the bed and ran to the two foxes.

"Great! They've finally made up! Now we have two foxes!"

Her face was filled with a happy smile.

She knelt down and gently stroked the fox, which squinted its eyes in comfort under her touch.

The white fox dodged Ran Cang's hand and ran to Sui Si's side, rubbing against his trouser leg.

After watching the fox's adorable antics for a while, Sui Si finally gave in and picked it up, then tried to pet it using Ran Cang's technique.

Seeing Ran Cang's happy expression, Sui Si couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, since they get along so well, let's bring this white fox along too."

Ran Cang jumped for joy, "Yay! Master is the best!"

Ran Cang was happily teasing the red fox when a sudden doubt flashed through his mind. He snapped back to reality and blurted out:

"its not right!"

At this moment, Sui Si was sitting comfortably on the edge of the bed, his fingers gently running through the soft fur of the white fox.

The white fox squinted its eyes and made a comfortable purring sound in its throat.

Startled by Ran Cang's sudden shout, Sui Si raised his eyes, his sleepy eyes filled with a hint of confusion, and lazily replied:

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

Ran Cang frowned, his eyes full of inquiry, pacing back and forth as he analyzed the situation:

“Master, think about it. Those people went to great lengths to snatch this fox before, and that woman protected it so resolutely. But now she handed the fox over to us so easily. This is not normal.”

Perhaps there's some unspeakable secret hidden here?

As Ran Cang spoke, his gaze fell on the two foxes.

The two little guys, who were enjoying being petted, seemed to sense the suspicious atmosphere. Their movements froze, their bodies stiffened, and their originally stretched fur stood up slightly.

Sui Si gently shook his head, his face displaying an all-knowing expression, and slowly spoke:

“Ayu.”

In such a small place, those people are nothing more than bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.

The woman was so frightened that she lost her composure; in her eyes, the fox had become a troublesome threat that could explode at any moment.

I merely tentatively said that I would protect her and the fox, and she hurriedly shoved the fox into our hands.

I'm certain that if you go looking for her again tomorrow morning, she'll be gone without a trace.

Ran Cang suddenly realized and replied in a drawn-out tone, "Oh, I see."

I thought there was some more complicated reason.

Sui Si looked at Ran Cang, his curiosity piqued, and asked with a smile:

"Cang'er, I'm curious, when you were adventuring alone before, how did you deal with this kind of thing?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Cang puffed out his chest instantly, his face radiating confidence, and loudly proclaimed:

"My fists are hard!"

In the past, if anyone bullied me or tried to take something I cared about, I wouldn't hesitate to throw a punch and beat them so badly they'd run away in terror. After that, they'd avoid me like the plague!

Upon hearing this, Sui Si's lips twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, he waved his hand helplessly.

"...Alright, alright, all you know how to do is solve problems with your fists."

Go to sleep with your red fox; we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow.

Ran Cang replied crisply, "Yes, Master."

She hopped and skipped back to the bedside, clutching the white fox.

He had just closed his eyes when, as if struck by something, he snapped them open, swiftly scooped the red fox from his arms, and said urgently:

"Honey, don't go to sleep yet. There's something important I can't figure out."

The red fox, who had been nestled comfortably in her arms, was instantly jolted awake by the disturbance. Its ears drooped, and it looked at her with a helpless expression, as if complaining about the sudden interruption.

"..."

Ran Cang frowned, muttering to himself, his tone full of confusion:

Did my brother just hug you?!

But didn't he always say he didn't like these small animals? Why is he being so special to this one?

She pursed her lips, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

"Could it be that it really has the power of a fox spirit and has bewitched my brother?"

Upon hearing this, the red fox's half-closed eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief, as if shocked by this outrageous guess:

“…?…!”

It never imagined that Ran Cang's imagination could be so bizarre; the idea was simply too terrifying.

Red Fox was speechless, but Ran Cang became more and more excited as he spoke, completely absorbed in his own imagination.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the dappled windowpanes.

Sui Si walked out of the room, full of energy, carrying the white fox. She immediately spotted Ran Cang and the listless red fox in her arms.

Sui Si raised an eyebrow and asked with concern:

"You two, didn't sleep well last night?"

Look at how listless he is, as if all his energy has been drained away.

Upon hearing this, Ran Cang subconsciously looked down and met the red fox's gaze. The moment their eyes met, the two of them and the fox seemed to be electrocuted and hurriedly looked away.

Ran Cang chuckled twice, his laughter clearly unnatural, and stammered as he replied:

"Yes...yes, I don't know what happened, I tossed and turned all night, my mind was a mess, and I just couldn't fall asleep, hehehe."

The red fox also listlessly swayed its tail, as if cooperating with Ran Cang's lie.

Looking at the strange appearance of the man and the fox, Sui Si began to have doubts and thought to himself:

I'm not a three-year-old. Do you think I can't see through their clumsy attempt to cover it up?

It's really baffling; I have no idea what they're up to.

Sui Si looked at Ran Cang's appearance, smiled helplessly, and shook his head.

After Ran Cang finished packing, Sui Si led the horse while Ran Cang carefully carried the fox, and together they left the inn.

Just as Sui Si had predicted, the woman named Ling'er had already disappeared without a trace. The innkeeper also said that he saw her leave in a hurry in the early morning, and that she had even paid for her room in advance.

On the way to the competition venue, Ran Cang kept muttering to himself:

"Master, why did Ling'er suddenly leave?"

She handed the fox over to us so easily; I always felt something was amiss.

Sui Si patiently explained:

"Human nature is complex. Perhaps she has her own difficulties, or perhaps she already knows that the fox will be safer with us."

Ah Yu, not everything in this world can be fully understood.

The red fox kept nuzzling the white fox with its head, but the white fox aloofly pushed it away.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ran Cang remarked, "Hey, this is quite similar to how I interact with my master."

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the competition venue was located.

The mountain road is winding and rugged, with lush forests on both sides, and occasionally a few clear birdsongs can be heard.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.

Sui Si and Ran Cang walked slowly along the mountain path, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered a group of people. The leader was a few young disciples dressed in gorgeous clothes, clearly from a prestigious sect. Behind them were a group of followers, all of whom looked arrogant.

Ran Cang immediately recognized that several of them were the men in black who had tried to snatch the white fox at the inn last night.

"Hey, isn't this the guy who meddled in other people's business last night?"
