Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Before He Wanglan closed his eyes to cultivate, he saw the little fox running into the house, its fluffy tail swishing. He glanced at the furry tail again, and his hand itched to touch it.

He didn't close his eyes and enter a meditative state until the other person's figure disappeared through the door.

Jiang Heng ran into the house and looked around at its layout. There were only two rooms in the small house. He rushed into the right room and found it to be a study, but it was covered in a layer of dust, and his paws had left a trail of footprints on the floor, indicating that the original owner of this body didn't usually come in here.

886 quickly pulled out its DSLR and took ten consecutive photos of the little footprints. Ahhh, so cute!! I really want to snuggle up to my host!!

Jiang Heng leaped onto the table and reached out her claws to grab the notebooks on the bookshelf.

The height of the bookshelf and the table, as well as the distance between them, seemed to have been designed specifically for the original owner of this body; he reached them without much effort. He placed the books on the table and began to examine them—they were basic cultivation techniques for demons?

He can read the language of demons, which means the original owner of this body could also read it, implying that someone taught him, most likely the original owner's parents. However, he has no memory of this...

"Tongtong, the original owner was most likely not abandoned; something must have happened to his parents."

Jiang Heng shared her analysis with 886, and her thoughts became increasingly clear. But now was not the time to dwell on this, since he lacked that part of his memory.

He jumped off the table and ran into another room. The room was simply furnished, with only a wooden bed for adults to sleep on, a small cabinet at the head of the bed, a low couch by the window, and a small table in front of the couch.

Jiang Heng walked to the bedside and tried to open the cabinet, but couldn't. He stood up and tried to insert his left hand into the gap, but that also failed.

Well, I've tried my best. It's time to give up. It's too much to ask of a little fox.

Moreover, judging from the cleanliness of the cabinet and the tiny teeth marks on the edges, the original owner of this body probably tried it many times...

Shaking its tail, Jiang Heng continued searching the room, hoping to find some clues, but found nothing and ended up covered in dust.

Finally, Jiang Heng ran into the study, put the monster cultivation manual on her head, and then skipped back to her room, curled up on the couch, and began to study it seriously.

The most important thing now is to learn how to harness demonic power and try to free up my hands as soon as possible!

886 also joined in to look, but was dizzy from all the scribbles. This wasn't something it should be looking at, so it turned back to the corner and happily started watching the TV series it hadn't finished watching in the previous world.

Jiang Heng was pulled out of his study mode by a strong feeling of hunger; even 886 could hear the rumbling in his stomach.

He jumped onto the windowsill, pried open a corner of the window, and saw that it was already dark outside.

It was because the lamps hanging in the four corners of the room had a built-in array that would automatically light up when it got dark that Jiang Heng hadn't noticed the time. Rubbing his still-protesting stomach, he ran into the yard and circled the unknown tree in the corner a few times.

In his memory, the original owner always ate the fruit from this tree as his staple food. He ate fruit all day long, and he wondered if this was one of the reasons why he was so small.

When He Wanglan opened his eyes, he saw the little fox leaping to the middle of the tree trunk. Since there was nothing to hold onto, he could only hug the trunk with all four limbs and climb upwards to pupate.

[...]

Crane-winged Lan looked up at the tree, and there it was...

He pulled a root from the soil; the root extended and reached towards the branch, curled up a fruit, and pulled it off, about to pull it back. He glanced at the little fox still struggling to climb upwards, hesitated for a moment, and then extended the fruit towards it.

Jiang Heng was holding onto the tree trunk, stopping to catch his breath, when a fruit appeared before him. Following the slender roots wrapped around it, he saw the dark blue petals nod at him, shake the fruit, and then pull it back down.

Jiang Heng slid down from the tree and ran to the crane-eye. Staring at the red fruit the size of an adult's fist, she swallowed hard and tentatively raised her paw to take it.

Crane-winged lily stopped teasing him and loosened the roots that were wrapped around it.

"Little flower fairy, you're so kind!"

Jiang Heng grabbed it and popped it into her mouth.

Crane-winged Lan observed him from the side, its roots quietly wrapping around his claws. As the spiritual fruit was consumed, Jiang Heng's demonic power fluctuated, showing an upward trend.

It really is a Spirit Gathering Fruit.

He loosened the roots, tapped Jiang Heng's ear, and when she looked over, he pointed to the tree and then to himself.

"Do you want it? Then take it yourself. Can I have another one? One isn't enough."

Jiang Heng rubbed her stomach; the fruit made her feel warm and comfortable after eating it.

[You can only eat one Spirit Gathering Fruit at a time.]

Crane-winged Lan regrown its roots and embedded itself in a fruit, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy within. Once it finished absorbing the energy, the aching core that had been throbbing from expending too much demonic power was greatly relieved.

[Could it be that you have the life force in your blood because you've eaten too much of this fruit?]

Spirit Gathering Fruits are hard to come by and can fetch astronomical prices at auctions, let alone owning an entire one. This little fox's background is probably not simple.

Unfortunately, Jiang Heng could not hear his voice, nor could she answer his questions.

Seeing that the other person didn't intend to give her another fruit, Jiang Heng looked up at the branch and felt tired even before climbing.

He lay down beside the Strelitzia repens, gazing at it longingly, his paw pads occasionally nudging its leaves.

"I'm so hungry, please get me another one, please."

He Wanglan was a little worried about how to tell the little fox that he shouldn't eat too many Spirit Gathering Fruits, especially since he hadn't yet learned to control his demonic power.

Seeing that feigning pitifulness was useless, Jiang Heng decided to rely on herself. She stood up, ran to the tree, and lunged upwards again, but just as she reached mid-air, she was caught by roots flying from behind and hung in mid-air.

"Put me down!"

Jiang Heng flailed his limbs in the air, trying to get down, but He Wanglan tied him up, climbed out of the flowerpot, took him into the room, and pressed him onto the bed.

Just as Jiang Heng got up, he pressed her down again, repeating this three or four times until Jiang Heng was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the bed.

"Okay, okay, I won't eat anymore."

If we continue like this, the one we just ate will be completely digested.

The leaf peeked out and rubbed his ear.

[That's correct.]

As the crane flower withdrew its leaves and was about to retreat back into the flowerpot, Jiang Heng raised her paw, grabbed the flower branch, and pressed it onto her belly.

"We need to sleep together."

The closer he got, the clearer the floral scent became, and the turbulent power of his bloodline calmed down slightly, making him feel more comfortable.

He Wanglan struggled to get up, but Jiang Heng's soft paw pads pressed directly onto his branch. Beneath her was a warm belly, and the whole flower was nestled in fine downy fur, which was quite comfortable.

[...]

[Alright, you're already being so cutesy...]

Crane-flower swayed the petals, adjusted to a more comfortable angle, and began to close her eyes and concentrate.
