Bai Hao knew this fox's flirtatious nature and wasn't really going to hold it against him, but he wouldn't hesitate to teach him a lesson. Pure Fox Scarlet's seductive arts were useless against him.

After recovering, Qin Nan heated up some dumplings for Chunhu Fei. He stopped causing trouble and, having been so busy, became hungry. He finished both large plates of dumplings before comfortably leaning back in his chair.

"Have you thought it through?" Bai Hao waited for him to finish eating before getting down to business.

Chunhu Fei stretched lazily, her eyebrows curving and a smile playing on her lips.

"Of course, I still prefer to wander freely in the world, and I have no intention of going back to rebuild any country."

"Don't you like being a ruler?"

"Heh, why don't you go back and become the chief of the Bai Ze clan?"

"...That makes sense."

Chunhu Fei watched Qin Nan clearing the dishes in the kitchen, propping her head up with one hand and resting her elbow on the table, smiling at him.

Qin Nan noticed the gaze and turned his head to receive a flirtatious wink. He was taken aback for a moment, then asked bluntly, "Are you using seduction on me?"

Chunhu Fei was taken aback. "How did you manage to ask that?"

"Huh? Can't I ask?"

Bai Hao laughed and said, "His seductive arts are different. It's not easy for him to stay sober, let alone break free from his control and ask him this question."

"Old fox, don't waste your energy. He's attracted to you because he likes good looks, but that doesn't mean he's swayed by your charms."

Chunhu Fei asked, puzzled, "Why? What's so special about Xiao Momo? Is this his talent?"

Bai Hao remained silent and did not answer, but Qin Nan guessed what was going on.

Before he changed bodies, he was captured by Helian Jun. Later, Bai Hao set up a protective array on him and even saved his life when they went to the Outer Heaven.

He was unconscious for so long that Bai Hao must have done something to him, which is why he wasn't affected.

He felt that Chunhu Fei's behavior was a bit strange. Although she was very charming and alluring, she always seemed to be superficial. Her every move and word was not from the heart.

Chunhu Fei returned to normal, his expression slightly cold and his eyes deep and unfathomable. His deliberate femininity was gone, giving him an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Only now did Qin Nan realize that Chunhu Fei looked completely pleasing to the eye and didn't make him feel so awkward or uncomfortable.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

"Alas, what a pity, you black-hearted beast got such a good deal. Such a virtuous and lovely beast, you should keep it for yourself."

"Aren't you someone who can flit from flower to flower without a single petal clinging to you? Why are you lovesick?"

Chunhu Fei got up and walked to the sofa to lie down, her body as supple as if boneless, stretching out her waist.

"Sometimes I also feel a little...bored."

"Boring? There are 365 people in a year, and you can date 365 different people. How could you be boring?"

"Hmph, so what? I've never actually slept with anyone. I just gave those men and women a beautiful dream. They can dream of whatever they want. They don't love me; they love the image of me in their imagination."

"Hmm, Red Thread Killer, your ability to sever people's red threads is more effective than the Meng Po soup. Who could possibly fall for you after meeting you? Even if the Old Man of the Moon's red thread is made of steel, you'll still be able to break it."

"How can you blame me? They're delusional, wanting to obtain so-called perfect love. But nothing in this world is perfect. If they can't learn to accept reality and only fantasize about their dream lover, they deserve to grow old alone."

"It's truly a blessing for Bai Muqiu to know you; he'll never have to worry about not having any business opportunities with you."

"Of course! If I hadn't met Mu Qiu later than that old dragon, he would definitely be the most precious beast in my heart, and I would definitely hide him away and enjoy him all to myself every day."

"Very good, I've recorded that. Remember to be careful with your words in the future."

Bai Hao waved his phone, and Chunhu Fei was shocked for a moment. She gritted her teeth and lay down on the sofa, becoming as lazy as a salted fish.

"Anyway, it's not like I haven't been beaten up by Long Chengxiu before. He's not a dragon that kills beasts indiscriminately. Saying a few words won't kill me."

You couples are all getting married and raising kids, and look at your pregnant belly, it's growing so fast! It's obvious you've been bullying little Momo a lot!

“We are a legally married couple, so how can you say we’re bullying each other? We’re just doing our job.”

"Ha, I don't believe you for a second! You heartless beast, you scheming boy! You're clearly just after Xiao Mo Mo's body!"

"Oh, so what? My partner can do whatever he wants. You, a single beast, can only rely on your own two hands, right?"

"Hiss—after all these years, you've become so shameless, spouting filthy nonsense! You've changed! You really have changed! You've become even more ruthless! Even more shameless!"

"Bottom line? Bottom lines are for beasts with bottom lines. Do you have one?"

Chunhu Fei raised her hand to stroke her chin, and thought seriously for a moment, "It seems not!"

Qin Nan wiped his hands speechlessly. Listening to the conversation between the two, he had no desire to get involved; the car was going too fast and the incident happened too suddenly.

Qin Nan took the Pregnancy Fruit from Bai Hao's arms, carried it upstairs to her room, nourished it with divine power, and then slept while holding it.

Qin Nan went upstairs, and Chunhu Fei also sat up, her expression becoming more serious.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

Chunhu Fei frowned slightly, "I don't know how to describe it, it's like an invisible and intangible... energy, the word 'human' is very suitable."

I encountered a living person surrounded by ghostly energy. He possessed all the characteristics of a living person, so you could say he was a living person. However, he was also dead; his life was not normal.

I was curious, so I looked into it. He said his ghostly aura came from his ghost husband from a ghost marriage, and I did see that the ghostly aura on the memorial tablet was consistent with the one on his body.

But I don't know how to describe that feeling. He gave me a feeling of unfathomable depth. I even felt that my charm had no effect on him, yet his reaction was flawless.

Bai Ze, what do you know?

Bai Hao closed his eyes and used his innate divine power to sense the person Chun Hu Fei had mentioned.

After a long pause, he shook his head. "There's nothing strange about it, but I only know everything from the perspective of an observer. The changes and feelings of being in the midst of it are very vague to me."

Perhaps your feeling is correct; there's another possibility, which I don't know, and that is the concealment of heavenly secrets.

"No, that can't be right, can it? To shield one's heavenly secrets means that, apart from the Six Paths, one is born for some kind of opportunity or sacrifice, just like Mo... But, but he is human... human skin? Or a transformed soul?"

"It's hard to say, anything is possible. Bai Ze's talent comes from the Heavenly Dao, and he is constrained by it. If the secrets of Heaven are unpredictable, then it is not a matter of fate."

Zhu Jiuyin came and said he saw a change, a bad change, originating from the underworld.

"Uh, really? I've run into this by sheer coincidence?"

“It’s possible, or it’s possible you’re overthinking it, but with things like this, it’s better to miss out than let go.” Bai Hao got up and rummaged through the cupboard.

What are you going to do?

"Get some incense and paper money, find a ghost messenger to deliver a message, and let the underworld investigate."

"Oh, alright then, I won't worry about it."

Chunhu Fei relaxed on the sofa, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, turned up the TV volume that Bai Hao had turned down, and enjoyed eating the fruits and watching the program.
