Not far away, the boy frowned slightly.
He briefly listed his own property.
More than a dozen industrial chains, more than thirty companies of all sizes, and countless investments... well, that should be enough to support her.
...
...
The sight of Wu Yue's bright eyes reminded the white fox of the cool yet bright moonlight emerging from the deep darkness of the night.
Even if you beat the white fox to death, you wouldn't believe that such a proud and free-spirited girl actually loves money.
It blinked, then asked uncertainly, "So, does that mean if I pay you, you'd be willing to help me find people?"
“That’s a different price.” Wu Yue nodded, her expression slightly serious. “What I mean is, I usually start at one million. But since you’re not exactly wealthy, I’ll give you a discount.”
The white fox patted its belly, revealing a card hidden beneath its fur...
Well, this beautiful young fox transformed into a maid, and she didn't earn much money at Qi Lan's house. After all, the master provided room and board, and since she hadn't joined for the salary, she didn't ask for much.
Looking back now, it's true what they say: you only realize how little money you have when you need it.
Wu Yue offered a discount, and the white fox was overjoyed, her eyes filled with hope: "What kind of discount?"
"99% off." The girl released the withered branch from her palm, and the pale golden light dissipated and vanished without a trace.
The white fox clutched its belly fur, its expression indescribable: "It would have been better not to offer this discount at all..."
“Brother, you need to understand, you’re the one begging me now.” Even knowing so much, and while the white fox Aruo wasn’t exactly a bad fox, Wu Yue’s desire to avenge Yan Chiyu hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
"yes--!"
The white fox Aruo suddenly knelt down, her paws on the ground, her back bent, her expression respectful yet complex: "Please, sir, lend me your assistance."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he shakily pulled out his bank card from his fur and handed it over with trembling paws.
I'm so reluctant to leave... I'm so reluctant to leave...
But for Qi Lan's long-cherished wish, it had to do this.
"I have a question." Wu Yue pinched the bank card between two fingers and stuffed it into her pocket without hesitation. Even though the white fox looked reluctant and pained, Wu Yue still didn't respond.
"Please ask." The white fox gritted its teeth, trying to appear as if it were very willing, much like a sycophantic minister beside a king, wishing it could reach out and lift the hem of his robe.
"Everyone's saying the manor caught fire because you secretly drank that night and accidentally released foxfire. Is that true?" If foxfire killed everyone in the manor, then this is a terrible sin.
Demons, spirits, and souls, once tainted with evil karma, are extremely difficult to cleanse. It's not something that can be solved by saving a hundred chickens.
The white fox was lost in memories. "Actually, Qi Lan's mind was becoming increasingly confused and weak. I often advised her to let her daughter and grandson come back to see her, but she refused. She always had a cold and disgusted look on her face... That day, the manor held a small banquet, just her, me, and two chefs."
That day was her birthday, which is why she celebrated so enthusiastically. Perhaps she was emotionally exhausted after all these years, because Qi Lan set herself on fire in her room…
"The word 'mentally exhausted' is quite fitting," the girl said thoughtfully, rubbing her chin.
The white fox, puzzled, said, "Thank you."
It took a deep breath and said, "But I did exhale some foxfire because I drank too much. I'm sorry, I didn't know it would happen... Although I wasn't the mastermind, I was an accomplice."
It murmured softly, full of self-reproach.
"How about we save another thousand chickens?" the girl suggested, tilting her head slightly.
arctic fox:"???"
