My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Joey immediately sat up and took a few deep breaths.

Heaven knows that although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually surging with excitement inside.

Why are his legs so smooth and delicate, without a single hair?

Is this how fox spirits in Liaozhai seduce scholars?

"Baozi, calm down."

"I'm calm."

Joey exhaled and picked up the cup next to her to moisten her throat, but her hand started shaking as soon as she picked it up.

The system laughed within Joey's consciousness.

"Baozi, do you look calm?"

"..."

As a result, Hua Ran curled up her legs in front of Qiao Yi and patted them.

"My lady, how about trying a lap pillow?"

"puff!"

Joey tilted her head and sprayed water on Joe's face.

Qiao Dawan shouted.

"Ugh! I knew I shouldn't have squatted here to listen, it's disgusting!"

Qiao Yi rolled her eyes at Qiao Dawan, "Who told you to squat here and listen? After the partition is finished, this is my bedroom. Go back to my dad's room! What are you doing, kid, looking around and listening to all this!"

When Hua Ran saw Qiao Yi get out of bed, he quickly followed suit, without wearing shoes.

With her swaying gait and her fox tail and ears, Qiao Yi felt unable to take her eyes off Hua Ran.

If the previous flower dye had an allure value of 100.

So now it's... one million.

"Good heavens, I really am. Honey, is it really that serious to use a lap pillow?"

"He smells so good; the lotus fragrance was mixed with some other spices."

Hua Ran sat directly on the table.

"My lady, tell me, if I seduce that female water ghost like this, will she take the bait?"

Qiao Yi raised her hand and stuck a talisman on Hua Ran's head.

Hua Ran threw a little tantrum.

"Don't take pictures of me like that, it makes me look bad. I made sure I looked my best while you were asleep."

"The talisman is to prevent the water ghost from knowing that you are a fox."

Joey then grabbed the pants and threw them at Hua Ran.

"Put on your pants and shoes. You have to walk to the river. What's the point of going barefoot?"

Hua Ran pouted, "I won't look good or be alluring then. What if the female water ghost doesn't come up?"

Joey held a teacup, her back to Hua Ran.

He said, "That looks good too."

"Hmm... Really? By the way, my wife, do you not want my legs to be shown to others?"

Joey was about to say that she wasn't from this world.

In their world, both men and women can wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts.

Hua Ran then said, "My lady, I didn't intend to show it to anyone else~ I just wanted to test my charm... My lady, how do you think I look good?"

"How come..."

Joey suddenly couldn't continue.

He coughed once while taking a sip of water.

The system said in Qiao Yi's mind, "Baby, the system detected that your body temperature has risen, with the highest temperature at the tips of your ears~"

Joey immediately covered one of her ears.

He then said to Hua Ran, "Anyway, all you need to do is walk properly, dress neatly, and carry my talisman to lure that female water ghost up. You don't need to do anything else."

Hua Ran had already noticed his wife's predicament.

He wanted to go up and say something more.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and my whole body felt dizzy.

He stumbled forward and was about to fall to the ground when Qiao Yi quickly pulled him into her arms.

"Flower dyeing!"

"Ah... I twisted my ankle by accident, so I lost my balance."

Hua Ran pursed his lips; he desperately needed a large amount of yang energy to open up his limbs and bones.

Otherwise, he will be unable to move, and his body will become pale and weak.

But he couldn't tell his wife any of this.

The only option is to deceive the wife first.

Qiao Yi then picked Hua Ran up by the waist and sat her on the bed.

"I told you to put on your shoes, but you wouldn't listen. What happened? You twisted your ankle, and you still went to seduce female water ghosts?"

"Humph!"

Hua Ran nudged Qiao Yi, and the two went out after dinner. Inugami looked at the door and muttered something.

"Showing off and being vulgar."

Hua Ran laughed instead of being in a hurry after hearing this.

She even grabbed Joey, who was about to argue back.

"I'm a fox, I can flaunt my charms without restraint, can you? You unloved puppy~"

Inugami's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

But Hua Ran had already pulled Qiao Yi away.

When they arrived at the river, Joey hid first, while Hua Ran, wearing a cloak and hood, strolled along the riverbank.

He would look up at the moon for a while, and then squat down to look at the withered little flowers and grass.

She is as swift as a rabbit in motion and as still as a virgin at rest.

Joey was mesmerized by what she saw.

Before long, bubbles began to appear on the calm river surface.

But it was just something peeking out from under the nose.

Hua Ran clearly noticed this, so he simply sat on the grass, hugged his knees, and fanned his face with one hand.

"It's so hot and humid. My wife asked me to meet her here, why aren't you here yet?"

He was saying it on purpose for the guys in the river to hear.

"Ugh, it's so stuffy~"

Hua Ran pulled open her collar again.

It even collapsed onto the grass.

The system commented, "His pandering to popular tastes is actually quite convincing."

"What is commonplace is also refined. Look, there are even more of those things popping up in the river."

A woman's head emerged from the river.

But soon, she disappeared.

Hua Ran also missed the woman for a moment, but when he stood up, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Hua Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, while Qiao Yi clenched her fists.

Because a woman floated above Hua Ran's back in a riding posture.

She was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

He looks no different from an ordinary person, but his eyes only have whites.

A trail of water stretched behind it, leading straight to the riverbed.

Joey knew that it was the female water ghost.

She wanted to leave, but the system stopped her.

“Baozi, don’t be impulsive. Look, Hua Ran hasn’t done anything impulsive. That female water ghost couldn’t have seen the talisman you set. She’s just using her usual methods to harm men. Besides, if you disturb her rashly, she will follow the waterline back into the river. If you try to catch her again, you’ll have to burn the river dry.”

Qiao Yi took a deep breath and said, "I wasn't impulsive. I was just afraid that Hua Ran would be scared."

"But the fact is they don't have it."

Qiao Yi scoffed, her eyes never leaving Hua Ran.

After a while, Hua Ran muttered to herself, "If my wife isn't coming to find me... then I... I'll just go back..."

He started walking back.

By the time I reached the main road, it was already late at night.

A female drunkard was swaying along when, by sheer coincidence, she was staring at Hua Ran with lustful intent.

She rubbed her hands together and came to Hua Ran.

"Little handsome boy...aren't you afraid of danger coming home so late? How about I take you home? Hehe, let me touch your soft little hands..."

The next moment, she felt her face was a little wet, and when she touched it, her fingers were stained red.

"This...this is blood?!"

Looking up, she saw a disheveled woman with no eyes, her tears of blood, floating on Hua Ran's back.

Only the shadow of one person remained on the ground.

The woman immediately understood.

Her teeth started chattering.
