Chapter 243 Depressed
Tu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, completely unable to accept it. In just one day, his emotions had been completely controlled by her, and he had sulked more times than in the previous eight hundred years combined.
He worried about her and was nervous for her all night, but she only saw him as a strange beast that could transform.
The eight-tailed fox was in great pain, but the fairy was completely unaware and was still sending a message to Jiang Ming: "The little white fox is my friend, please don't try to assassinate him again."
Jiang Ming: "Understood."
Shen Yao did not reply.
A short while later, Jiang Ming sent her another message: "Shi Bao misses you."
Shen Yao: "It's so late, is Shi Bao asleep? Have Shi Bao contact me tomorrow."
Jiang Ming: "Okay, Shi Bao has a lot of homework this morning. I'll contact you tomorrow at noon."
Shen Yao: "Is Shi Bao's workload even heavier than before? Could you lighten his load a bit and not tire him out?"
Jiang Ming: "I couldn't persuade him. Shi Bao wants to master the cultivation technique as soon as possible, so he came to you."
Shen Yao felt guilty, but quickly turned her guilt into anger, which she directed at Jiang Ming: "Look at the mess you've made! Why did you steal my son?"
Jiang Ming was in a good mood. He hadn't expected that Shen Yao would contact him again after she left and talk to him so much. Afraid of ruining the hard-won harmony, he wrote and deleted the message. Just when Shen Yao thought he wouldn't reply, he sent a message: "Don't worry, I will take good care of our child."
Shen Yao was used to his delusions and had no energy to scold him. She asked about Shi Bao's daily life, then told Jiang Ming that she was going to sleep and ended the chat.
Tu Xiaoxiao put away his fox ears and silently felt sad. These two actually started chatting. Give us back our child. Ha, what a pair of parents who love their child so much.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, rolled over onto his stomach on the bed, buried his head in the soft pillow, closed his eyes, and forced himself to clear his mind.
Shen Yao put away the communication token and woke him up: "Jiang Ming shouldn't send any more assassins, you should go back now."
Tu Xiaoxiao's voice was muffled: "I'm tired, I don't want to move."
Shen Yao thought for a moment. He had survived an assassination attempt tonight and had been through so much with her, so he must be tired. She patted the bed and said, "Then you should just turn into a little white fox and sleep on the pillow like you did the last two nights."
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Tu Xiaoxiao didn't want to become a little white fox at all, and he never wanted to become a little white fox again, so he simply stopped talking and pretended to be asleep.
The fairy couldn't wake him up, so she gave up. Anyway, the bed was big enough, and she was very sleepy. She casually cast a cleansing spell, relaxed her body, lay down on the edge of the bed, and fell asleep instantly.
Tu Xiaoxiao listened to Shen Yao's even breathing for a while, then sat up with a sullen face. Her beautiful fox eyes narrowed into vertical slits as she stared intently at Shen Yao's face.
He approached almost silently, made sure she was asleep, and then locked his gaze on her lips.
He leaned down at her like a thief, his heart pounding in his chest.
Desire kept brainwashing him: 'Anyway, you treat me like a pet, so it's not unreasonable for a pet to kiss its master...'
Driven by his delusions, he moved closer and closer, finally kissing the red lips he had been eyeing for so long. Inhaling the primrose scent on her cheeks that he loved, his fox ears and tail couldn't help but pop out again.
His eyes were glazed over, and he parted his lips slightly, extending his tongue to tentatively lick her soft lips, trying to awaken the same desire within her, to delve deeper...
The fairy seemed to feel unwell in her dream, her closed eyes and brows furrowing together. The fox who had stolen a kiss immediately moved away half a foot, observing her with trepidation, hoping she would wake up and discover something, yet also very afraid.
Shen Yao simply turned her face away, wiped her mouth, pouted, and drifted back to sleep.
The fox tail involuntarily stretched towards Shen Yao, and the bristling fox fur brought Tu Xiaoxiao back to his senses. For the first time, he felt that his fox tail was so annoying!
He angrily grabbed his tail and beat it up, then tucked in his fox ears and tail, rolled to the other side of the bed, lay down for a while, but still couldn't sleep, so he went to sit by the window and let the cold wind blow on him.
The bright moon hangs high, its light gradually changing. Time seems to pass slowly, yet the night goes by quickly.
The sun rises without warning, directly taking the moon's place.
The warm morning light shone on Tu Xiaoxiao, while the handsome young man, bathed in golden sunlight, had a face full of gloom.
He turned his head to look at the bed; the carefree blockhead slept soundly all night.
Even in his sleep, he kept saying, "Nine-tailed fox... good girl... don't run away..."
'Ha.' Tu Xiaoxiao chuckled self-deprecatingly for a long time: 'It's not enough for her to treat me, the eight-tailed fox ancestor, as a pet; she wants the nine-tailed fox lord too.'
I feel so wronged.
Shen Yao woke up from her dream with great reluctance, staring at the ceiling as she savored the memory, and lay in bed not wanting to get up.
Tu Xiaoxiao stood by the bed and asked mischievously, "What sweet dream did you have?"
Shen Yao tried to see a nine-tailed fox in the ceiling, and without thinking, she said, "I dreamed of a super well-behaved nine-tailed fox that became my spirit pet. Later, it was scared away by a poisonous snake, and I chased after it for a long time."
Tu Xiaoxiao's lips curled down, and she kicked the bed leg hard: "Get up!"
'Why are you so fierce?' Shen Yao looked at him unhappily, noticing that his fox ears were gone: 'Huh? Where did your beautiful fox ears go?'
"What? You want to see?" Tu Xiaoxiao sneered, "Heh, I won't let you see!"
"Fine, I won't look then." Shen Yao turned over and sat on the edge of the bed to put on her shoes, taking a moment to glare at him: "What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Why are you being so fierce?"
……
When Shen Yao signed the contract with Hua Yi, two elders from the Hua family were also present, and Shen Yao was prepared for the Hua family to ask for a high price.
Unexpectedly, the elders of the Hua family said, "Last night, Miss Shen paid a good price, and we have decided to give you half of the management rights of Zui Hongyan for a period of one year."
Shen Yao was unhappy about this and questioned Hua Yi, "A year? Isn't that going back on your word? Or are you afraid I can't afford the price?"
Hua Yi explained, "Second Uncle means that if Zui Hongyan's profits are not as good as before within a year, according to your rules, then half of the management rights will be taken back."
"If the profits exceed those of the past, then naturally we will follow your rules from now on."
Shen Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Drunken Beauty's previous income mainly came from wine money and redemption fees, right?"
Hua Yi: "The cost of listening to music and watching dance in a private room is quite considerable."
Since ancient times, brothels and gambling dens have been the most profitable businesses. Shen Yao is confident that if Zui Hongyan changes to another industry, she can support those low-level cultivators, but the income will definitely not be as good as running a brothel. She can't keep using the Ten Perfect Stones to make up for it, after all, Zui Hongyan won't only be open for one year.
Seeing her deep in thought, Uncle Hua said kindly, "There's no rush. Miss Shen, think it over before you decide. I heard that Miss Shen's father is also in Longyuan City. Could you invite him out for a meeting?"
Tu Xiaoxiao declined on her behalf, saying, "Second Uncle Hua, Senior Huo is currently busy and it is inconvenient for him to meet with you."
"Hehehe." Uncle Hua's amiable expression remained unchanged, but his tone became somewhat sharp: "Xiaoxiao and Miss Shen have a good relationship. Tell your uncle the truth, who wants this half of the management rights, her or the Tu family?"
