In the alley.
He Xie leaned tightly against the wall, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings for nearly an hour.
Seeing that there was no unusual movement around him, he relaxed his tense nerves a little.
Then he went forward, picked up the fluffy fox tail from the ground, and examined it carefully in his hand.
It has a fluffy and soft texture.
It is snow-white in color.
It has a faint, pleasant fragrance.
It just doesn't look very fresh, giving off a lifeless feeling.
So...
The fox spirit we just saw was actually just a clone created from one of her tails.
Or perhaps the main body just used a biological skill to sever its tail and escape?
He Xie was guessing what was going on in his mind.
At this moment, a system notification popped up.
【Nine-Tailed Fox's Tail】: The life vessel of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, now devoid of life force, its only remaining use is as a raw material for women's luxury goods.
He Xie quickly glanced at the contents above, his mind racing.
The life vessel of a fox spirit?
So it seems that the fox spirit really did manage to escape by cutting off her tail.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the effect of her biological skill "living in place of the dead".
Thinking of this, He Xie couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
No wonder humans are Earth rats in this modern world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Other ancient races have so many overpowered biological skills that seem like cheat codes, while humans have none at all.
Over time, the gap widened significantly.
Therefore, if the human race doesn't get attacked, then who will?
......
Harmony Street, starting point: the orphanage.
When He Xie returned home, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.
He composed himself and was about to knock on the door when it suddenly creaked open.
Then, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties came out from inside.
Upon seeing He Xie outside the door, the beautiful woman paused for a moment, then spoke in a sharp and sarcastic tone:
"You little rascal, you finally decided to come back?"
"Hello, Aunt Liu."
He Xie didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly but politely reply with this.
Seeing him smiling and being so easy to talk to, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a strange look on her face, and she felt a little incredulous.
This little rascal used to talk back to me all the time, how come he's become so docile now?
Ha, he must have been beaten up quite a bit in society.
Thinking about it, Liu Yan habitually rolled her eyes at the little rascal and said with an annoyed look, "The food is all in the pot. If you get hungry later, just heat it up yourself."
After saying that, he walked past the little rascal and out of the yard, not knowing what he was going to do so late at night.
Watching Liu Yan's receding figure, He Xie smiled helplessly, thinking that the sharp-tongued and mean-spirited adoptive mother in his memory was actually just a little tsundere with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Before he even got close to his home, he was already standing by the window, gazing into the distance, patiently waiting for him to return and knock on the orphanage door.
Then, pretending to be going out on errands, come out to greet yourself who has been away from home for a long time.
Unfortunately, these arrogant little actions could not escape the perception of a higher being.
After watching his adoptive mother walk away.
He Xie walked into the house with a curious expression, looking around as he went.
It's very spacious and large; it's a grand mansion.
The only downside was that the walls looked a bit worn and the furniture was quite basic.
Overall, they looked quite poor.
"Da da da da da..."
Just as He Xie was about to walk into the living room, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from around the corner ahead.
The next second, a sturdy little girl rushed out and delivered a long-lost Barbarian Charge, slamming into his thigh with a bang.
Then he reached out and hugged his thigh, his face filled with excitement as he looked up and roared like a dragon:
"Brother Crab, I miss you so much!"
The sound was so loud that He Xie's eardrums were ringing and his scalp felt numb.
This is his third younger sister, a five-year-old girl named Li Muke.
Why are you yelling so loudly!
He Xie reached out and poked his ear, then scolded his third sister with a displeased expression.
The third sister ignored his reprimand and continued to shout at the top of her lungs, "Brother Crab, where's the lollipop you promised to buy me?"
He Xie had no recollection of this at all.
Seeing that her third sister was still young, she casually brushed her off, saying, "I forgot, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
To everyone's surprise, the third sister's face immediately fell upon hearing this.
Li Muke: (??v_v??) Hmph!
He Xie looked down and saw that, good heavens, this little girl was angry.
Thinking it over, he immediately smiled and coaxed, "Little Mu Ke, be good and don't be naughty. Brother Xie will definitely buy you a lollipop tomorrow."
"Big liar! Big liar! Big liar!!!"
"You promised to buy me a lollipop tomorrow last time! The time before that! And the time before that too! Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid you can just fool?!"
"Hmph, I don't care! If you don't buy me a lollipop, I'll cause trouble, trouble, trouble!!!"
My third sister got angry, and you couldn't coax her into it.
Seeing this, He Xie looked innocent and said, "When have I ever lied to you? I've always said I'd buy you a lollipop tomorrow."
"But use your brain and think about it carefully, is today tomorrow?"
"That's obviously not the case!"
"Today is today, and tomorrow is tomorrow; they are different."
"I'll definitely buy you a lollipop tomorrow, no kidding!"
Is today today?
Is tomorrow really tomorrow?
The third sister frowned upon hearing this, her dull mind momentarily unable to process it.
Seeing this, He Xie continued to intensify his persuasion, saying:
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I'll definitely buy you lollipops next time, and I'll buy you really, really big ones so you can eat your fill."
"Really?!"
The third sister opened her big, bright eyes wide, and became very excited.
He Xie said sincerely, "Really, I'm not lying to you."
"Brother Crab is so good to me, I like Brother Crab the most."
The third sister was completely fooled and clung to the big liar's leg, beaming with joy.
He Xie was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking to himself that children are so easy to fool, and he would fool ten more of them!
Just as he was having a great time, a sharp girl's voice suddenly came from ahead.
"He Xie, you're a real dog! You even lied to a child, you're not human!"
The familiar girlish voice, the familiar disrespectful way of calling her by her first name—without even looking, I knew it must be my second younger sister, Gu Xinyao, who's in fifth grade.
He Xie looked at the ten-year-old girl who had just run out of the room and scolded her with an annoyed expression:
"I'm telling you, you idiot Yao, you're toxic! You're always calling me He Xie without any respect, do you think it would kill you to call me 'brother'?"
Upon hearing this, the second younger sister immediately pouted and said with a resentful look, "You're so sickly, you can't even beat me. You should call me 'older sister' instead."
"Hehe, you're always just being cheeky."
He Xie rolled his eyes at his second sister, too lazy to pay attention to this disrespectful elementary school student.
He then turned and walked away, relying on his memory to get to his room.
They stopped in front of the door after a short while.
The door was closed, but not locked.
Without thinking much, He Xie simply turned the handle and pushed open the door.
Then, what came into his view was a beautiful young woman sitting on the edge of the bed, lifting her leg to take off her stockings. The stockings were only half off, hanging on her fair feet and dangling back and forth...
"Brother, don't you know that you need to knock before entering someone's room?"
The older sister, Zhao Keying, took off the stockings hanging from her little feet and stared intently at He Xie.
He Xie's lips twitched as he said, "This seems to be my room..."
"Oh, it seems so. Never mind then."
Zhao Keying smiled, her beautiful eyes crinkling, then picked up the stockings, got up, and left, returning the room to its rightful owner.
As she passed by He Xie, she accidentally dropped one of the stockings she was holding.
Seeing this, He Xie reminded her, "Sis, one of your stockings fell off."
"I'm too lazy to go back and pick it up. Can you take it and put it in the washing machine for me later?"
After saying that, Zhao Keying had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped and turned back to add, "Brother, don't use it for anything weird."
He Xie glanced at the stocking on the ground.
He said expressionlessly:
"According to relevant experts, women's feet are generally seven times smellier than men's, especially when wearing stockings. So don't worry, I have absolutely no interest in your stockings."
"Go to hell, I hope you stink to death."
Zhao Keying angrily threw the last pair of stockings in her hand at He Xie, then turned and walked away quickly, not wanting to see this clueless younger brother again.
[Contrast value from Zhao Keying +300.]
"This can even collect contrast values?"
He Xie stared blankly at the numerical notification that popped up deep in his mind, feeling utterly speechless.
He wondered just how lecherous and perverted he was in his sister's eyes that he could collect as many as 300 points of contrast value just because of the sentence "Women's stockings smell bad, I'm not interested".
