How come I was the one being targeted?

"Huohuo, is everything going well?" She moved forward and gently stroked Huohuo's hair as usual, as gently as if she were treating a kitten or puppy.

"Of course! Master Xueyi's maintenance work went smoothly, without any problems!"

Huo Huo really enjoyed the Jackdaw's concern for her, and her soft fox ears trembled slightly with joy. It was a pity that Uncle Tail didn't understand the situation, otherwise he would have wagged his tail like other fox people.

"Tsk, you've made the fox lose face. Aren't you just a pet dog? You happily wag your tail and beg for mercy when I give you some cakes." Uncle Tail complained as usual.

"You say, you say I'm wagging my tail to beg for mercy, but aren't you my tail..."

"Huh? I say, little girl, has your mouth become more and more vicious lately?"

Huo Huo's usual pink-and-black style quickly broke through Tail's defenses. He was about to fly up and take Huo Huo to his death. Fortunately, Jackdaw stopped the two fools in time, "No noise is allowed in the Ten Kings Division. Especially the Hades Messengers must be cautious and careful, otherwise they will have their tongues cut off."

Huo Huo was terrified and immediately kept silent. However, Tail, who had always been unconcerned, shook the green flame and seemed to smell something:

"Why do I smell Bai Jun? Hey, little crow, did you go look for him just now?"

"No."

"No? Impossible! My nose is sharper than a dog's. You must have gone looking for him!" Tail's tone was a little proud, as if he was celebrating his sense of smell surpassing that of a dog. "For example, your hands, your clothes, and the package you're carrying still have the scent of that guy on them."

"Tsk, that's disgusting."

"S-Sorry, Master Jackdaw!"

The jackdaw looked at Tail with disgust, and Huo Huo also realized that something was wrong. After hurriedly apologizing, he ran away holding Tail.

Jackdaw also adjusted his mood and continued walking, pushing open the mottled and heavy door. Behind it was the core of the prison.

Xue Yi stood up from the coffin, moving his nimble body, which had become stiff from maintenance, and gradually restoring its performance to its peak condition. Just as he was about to get up and do a few sets of military boxing to test his hands and feet, he turned around and saw Jackdaw walking in.

"Sister! Are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you." Xue Yi smiled as much as possible, took a step forward, and gently stroked the jackdaw's hair as usual, which was his habit when he was a human.

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..." Jackdaw placed Xue Yi's cold hand against his cheek and looked at her tenderly, "By the way, sister, I won't be with you when you come back to life tomorrow."

"You won't accompany me anymore... Well, I can't trouble you with everything." Even after saying this, Xue Yi's tone was inevitably lost for a while.

"As compensation, let Bai Jun accompany my sister tomorrow!"

"Everything is fine...eh? Really?" Xue Yi widened her eyes. Even her agile body could not hide the joy in her heart.

"Of course! Bai Jun has also agreed..." Jackdaw's voice became weaker and weaker, and the irritability in her heart became stronger and stronger. She didn't know why, but she still forced herself to express the good news to her sister.

Xue Yi did not notice the slight change in Jackdaw's expression, but was immersed in the happiness of being able to be alone with Bai Jun. She was about to ask about the details when a very familiar smell suddenly entered her olfactory system.

Following the smell, her eyes locked onto the package in Jackdaw's hand, "Little sister, what is this? Why can I smell—"

"No, nothing! I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you, sister!"

When this topic was mentioned, Jackdaw's voice suddenly became louder and her expression became visibly panicked. She hugged the packaging bag tightly in her arms and left in a hurry.

Xue Yi looked at her panicked back and couldn't help feeling confused.

Is this an illusion? No, but there is indeed the scent of Bai Jun in that bag...

Chapter 43: The Clouds Cannot Stop

After returning to the Land and Investment Office, the hands of the clock on the wall moved to approximately three o'clock in the afternoon. Bai Jun brewed a pot of hot tea and, in front of the steaming tea bowl, began to methodically deal with the cases left over from the morning.

Lin Yuanchun brewed one pot after another, adding more tea several times. Before he knew it, the tea soup had become bland, and it was getting later and later.

Until the color in the tea bowl completely lost its luster and it was almost time to stop work, Bai Jun tidied up the messy table and said goodbye to his colleagues who passed by him after get off work one by one.

"Thank you for your hard work. Remember to get some rest when you get back."

"See you tomorrow, Qingyan. You look really handsome this afternoon."

"A date?"

"........."

By the time I left the government office, it was already evening. The setting sun at the horizon sank into a bowl of hot tea, like an orange-red flower blooming in the sea of ​​​​cha. Even flowers have their time to wither, and the cool evening breeze blew the petals off, scattering them all over the streets of Changletian.

After the hustle and bustle of the day, Changletian finally got a moment to breathe. The crowded streets seemed much quieter, and a few Xianzhou people could be heard chatting about recent major events on the side of the road.

"Hey, have you heard? That world-famous idol is coming to Luofu for a tour!"

"Big idol? I'm not usually interested in that kind of stuff. Who are you talking about?"

"Don't you know Mockingbird? Doesn't your wife love to listen to her 'Lonely Swing' the most?"

"Oh! It turned out to be her. I've heard her songs before, and they're just average. Not as good as our Xianzhou's."

"Xi...Trouble comes from the mouth, brother. Do you know that some fans are very crazy? If they hear you say that, they will never stop talking!" His friend quickly covered his mouth and asked him to lower his voice. Don't mess with the crazy fan group. This is the bloody lesson summed up by countless people.

Bai Jun bought some dumplings from the dessert shop opposite Changle Tian Plaza and ate them while walking. He stopped at the door and eavesdropped on the conversation of several people without making any noise.

Seeing that they were no longer talking, Bai Jun put away his curiosity and walked towards home.

Bai Jun was walking slowly towards the sunset, eating one dumpling at a time, squinting his eyes in admiration, feeling that the greatest joy in life was just like this. At the same time, the jade sign in his pocket began to ring. In a good mood, he took out the jade sign, took a closer look, and his expression gradually became strange.

Luofu Handsome Man: Are you there?

[Nan Liujing: Not here, and what the hell is your ID? So disgusting...]

Luofu Qiao Langjun: Yesterday, I tried a card-drawing game called "Xianzhou Beauty Guide." The "Luofu Qiao Langjun" character from the limited-edition card felt strangely familiar, so I decided to use it. Besides, when surfing the internet, you always have to use interesting names, right?]

Nan Liujing: I feel like it's not as good as using real names, so what on earth are you looking for me for? Let's get to the point.

[Luofu Handsome Man: I'll have a drink with you tonight!]

[Nan Liujing: Please allow me to refuse. Besides, you've already drunk all the wine in my house, so there's no more.]

Luofu Qiaolangjun: Haha, don't be so heartless. At worst, I can just bring some wine. Besides, I just finally got rid of the pile of trivial matters. I just want to chat with you occasionally to relax.

Bai Jun did not reply to Jing Yuan. He just sighed and threw the plastic bag containing the dumplings into the trash can. Then he turned around and went to the nearest convenience store to pick out one or two bottles of good quality liquor and cocktails.

After hesitating for a while at the cashier, Bai Jun finally bought three more bottles of liquor - a total of four bottles of high-proof liquor and two bottles of cocktails.

The reason is very simple. Although Jing Yuan looks reliable on weekdays, he is actually a drunkard in private. His favorite thing to do in his spare time is to come to his house to drink.

Not to mention that he can drink a lot, he is often not happy until he is drunk. After getting drunk, he will drag him to watch the show and recite poetry together. After that, he will definitely stay in his bed and sleep until noon, forcing Bai Jun to sleep on the floor at night. It is really unacceptable.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

Bai Jun held the box full of wine and thought to himself that he must not let him drink too much this time. Even if he did drink too much, he would definitely kick him out of the house and not let him occupy his bed again.

While complaining, he pushed open the door with one hand, placed the packaging bags of wine and clothes on the floor of the entrance, and changed his coat and shoes.

The Xianzhou is like this. Although the level of the technology tree is quite high, it is still quite old-fashioned in dealing with many customs and things, such as the lights at home... Turn on the power switch in the corridor, and with a click, the whole room gradually becomes bright.

There are clean and bright walls, a neat and clutter-free floor, and in the middle of the living room there is only a sandalwood table for dining and a few chairs.

Next to the edge of the desk was a bookcase, neatly stacked with various books and magazines about weapon casting design, about ten or so in total. The wall on the right was inlaid with gray pipes and connected wall lamps.

Everything was so simple that it was even a little too desolate. It didn't look like the bedroom of a man living alone at all. The only sign that someone lived here was the unfolded bedding on the bed.

Although there was no need to be too particular in treating Jing Yuan, he was a guest after all. Bai Jun made the bed, folded the quilt, and smoothed the sheets. Just as he was wondering whether he should cook something for dinner, there was a series of rapid knocks on the door.

dong dong dong——!

"Here I come. Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate..." Bai Jun complained as he opened the door. When he saw Tingyun standing at the door with a smile, his expression suddenly froze.

Tingyun also raised his head slightly and met his eyes, making the already quiet night even more silent in an instant.

"I hope you are well, benefactor." Tingyun, who was standing outside the door, took out a folding fan and spoke first with a smile.

Boom-!

The door was slammed shut. Bai Jun stood behind the door and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Then he poked his head out from behind the door in disbelief.

The familiar delicate facial features, the usual beautiful tail, and the graceful figure. The only flaw is that the expression is a bit scary.

"What does this mean, benefactor?"

The smile she maintained was showing signs of crumbling, but she still suppressed her anger and spoke expressionlessly.

"Tingyun, why are you... a little annoying today?" Hearing the hint of anger in the other person's voice, Bai Jun swallowed quietly, turned his head back calmly, turned around and prepared to close the door.

But it was obvious that Tingyun would not do as he wished this time. His pair of fair and beautiful hands tightly grasped the door panel that was about to close, and his slender arms burst out with a terrifying strength different from the past.

"Tingyun, stop it! The door will break!"

After feeling that the door was about to be pulled back, Bai Jun was so scared that his face almost turned pale. The key point was that he was afraid of hurting Tingyun's hand, so he didn't dare to use force and could only watch the door of his house being pried open slowly.

"Then just open the door! Why are you avoiding me?" Tingyun's suppressed anger finally exploded at this moment. She wanted to ride on Bai Jun's body and ask her loudly what made her inferior to those women, but before that, she had to open the door first.

"First of all, I'm not avoiding you. Secondly, anyone who sees you now in the middle of the night will be scared and hide in the house!"

"I don't care, just open the door quickly, or I won't leave today!"

Bai Jun tried to complain loudly to stop Tingyun from doing so, but it obviously had the opposite effect. He saw Tingyun's white and slender thighs stretched directly into his room, and then half of her body was about to force its way in.

"Quack, no, stop talking! You're trespassing! According to Article 30 of the Xianzhou Law on Personal Property: Anyone who uses tools to forcibly demolish or illegally enter another citizen's house without authorization will be sentenced to a prison term ranging from 50 to years..."

After this situation developed, Bai Jun was even more afraid to use force, for fear of hurting her. In the end, he could only recite the Xianzhou Laws and Regulations loudly while being invaded into the house.

Puff-!

With a loud bang, the two men fell to the ground at the same time, but this happened to fit someone's thoughts.

"You can't run away, benefactor!"

Ting Yun rushed forward, and without hesitation, he pressed down on Bai Jun with his soft and light body. Like a beast smelling blood, he reached out and pressed his cheek, making him unable to resist. At the same time, his beautiful furry fox tail took the opportunity to wrap tightly around his thigh.

"Good sister, just shake me 8! Have I violated any heavenly law?" Bai Junchao begged for mercy innocently. His limbs were pressed under Tingyun. Any attempt to struggle would inevitably come into contact with her skin. If he touched something he shouldn't touch, he would be doomed!

Seeing his hands being so obedient, Tingyun suddenly became even angrier. Her soft fingers pinched his cheek viciously, "Then tell me! Who was the woman you went shopping with today?"

“Woman!?”

Bai Jun immediately knew that Ting Yun was asking about what happened this afternoon. Although he wanted to refute, he couldn't panic under such circumstances. He pretended to be innocent and said, "Colleagues! We are colleagues! We were just discussing something!"

"Liar! When did Su Shang become your colleague?"

"You know Su Shang!? I really need to explain this to you..."

Under Bai Jun's horrified eyes, Ting Yun's expression gradually collapsed, and his smile became more intoxicated and obsessed: "En Gong, you don't have any desires or demands in your daily life, right? It's better to give it to me than to give it to them! I'm not that bad, am I?"

"One is not enough, right? You want two, right? It doesn't matter, at least I want to be the first in line!" As he said that, Tingyun began to tear off Bai Jun's clothes frantically, and soon tore off half of his shirt.

Bai Jun realized that simple words would not be able to have any effect on Ting Yun right now. Just as he was about to stand up and teach this fox a lesson, a gentle, steady voice with a hint of worry came from outside the door:

"Bai Jun? I heard a lot of commotion over there, and why is there that kid Tingyun's voice... What happened?"

Tingyun and Bai Jun suddenly widened their eyes and looked outside the door with horror.

What is this sound——!?

Chapter 44: A Night Tour of Changletian

On a certain day and night of a certain year, Yukong finished dealing with the affairs of the Tianbo Division early and returned to her home very abnormally. In the past, she rarely left the Tianbo Division. Even if she had nothing to do, she would stay in the division diligently and responsibly. But today was different.

In the "Huang Zhong" resonance system, she met an old friend, or a junior, whom she hadn't seen for more than twenty-four years.

General Sanwu: It's been a while, Sister Yukong. It's been almost twenty years since we last met, right? How have things been lately?

This familiar name brought back many memories for Yukong.

More than 20 years ago, she was the vanguard of Yaoqing's "Qingqiu Army", and I was a pilot of Luofu's "Chuihong Guard". I didn't expect that when they met again, she had become a general of a ship, while I had given up flying... Thinking about it this way, it really seems like a lifetime ago. After all, who could have imagined that the little fox who followed behind me in the past would now become one of the dignified Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow?

I think life is just like this, there will always be some unexpected miracles.

Feixiao was still the same as she remembered, always calling her sister. Even though she had seriously reminded her many times, she still enjoyed doing it. It was obvious that her status did not allow her to have such a conversation with a mere retired pilot... Perhaps in this regard, Feixiao was no different from the past.

But no matter what, it is always good to be able to meet again. After all, the lifespan of these fox people is not as long as that of the people on the fairy boat. They may die early before three hundred years, and there will be no chance for them to meet again. That would be a pity.

She and Feixiao talked and reminisced about the past for a long time. As the sky grew darker, the passion between them did not diminish in the slightest.

[General Sanwu: Judging from what Sister Yukong said... could it be that she's attracted to that boy who's much younger than you?]

[Fengyu Caihong 456: Shh... Feixiao, what nonsense are you talking about! I, I've never said I have any feelings for him... I just occasionally think he's quite qualified as a friend.]

[General Sanwu: Oh~ Then Sister Yukong, can you let me see what that boy looks like? Or tell me his name.]

[Storm Rainbow 456: His name is... Wait, why are you asking this? No, no, I can't tell you.]

[General Sanwu: Ha, you didn't even want to tell me his name, so you just said you're interested in him, right?]

[Wind and Rainbow 456: Feixiao! If you keep doing this, I will ignore you!]

General Sanwu: No, no, no, don't be angry, sister. I didn't say anything. I just think Qingni has grown up. There's no need to keep putting pressure on yourself, sister. You're doing everything well, so try to relax and pursue what you really want.
