Chapter 67 Hu Li's New Life
In any case, Yu Sheng now understands why Hu Li can shoot out his tail.
He didn't know what other demon foxes in the world were like, but it was clear that Hu Li's lineage had taken the path of the Super Beast Armor when it was passed down...
Now, the fox girl was sitting across from the dining table, clumsily holding a pair of chopsticks and quickly shoveling the food in the bowl into her mouth.
It was just the simplest noodles with some vegetable leaves, sliced ham, and two fried eggs, but Hu Li ate it as if it were the most exquisite delicacy in the world. His eating manner was not beautiful at all - but he enjoyed it very much.
Strictly speaking, this was the first hot meal she had eaten in all these years - although the biscuits and instant noodles that Yu Sheng had brought her before were also very good, sitting at a safe dining table and eating steaming food in a bowl like this was a completely different feeling.
"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot if you don't have enough," Yu Sheng looked at Hu Li, who had almost finished a bowl of food in the blink of an eye, with a little pity, and gently touched her hand, "That's not how you hold the chopsticks, look at me."
Hu Li raised his eyes from the edge of the bowl and glanced at Yu Sheng's right hand. Then, while chewing the fried egg, he adjusted his chopstick holding posture awkwardly.
She learns quickly.
"My benefactor, am I eating too fast..." After finishing a bowl of noodles, Hu Li raised her head a little embarrassedly. She saw that Yu Sheng had only eaten half of the noodles in his bowl, and there was a bowl in front of Irene next to him, and the food in it was not touched at all. "I... always feel that if I don't eat quickly, it might be gone someday."
"It's okay, you will get used to it slowly. Anyway, with your physique, eating a few meals a day won't affect your health," Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing, "If it's not enough, I'll get you some more."
"Uh-huh."
Before Yu Sheng stood up, Irene, who was sitting at the table, spoke up: "Let her eat my bowl first."
The little doll used both hands to push the bowl in front of him in front of Hu Li.
Hu Li said thank you and didn't ask why a portion of food was placed in front of a puppet that couldn't eat. He lowered his head and began to eat quickly.
After dinner, Yu Sheng discovered that the dishes and chopsticks used by Hu Li hardly needed to be washed - they were licked so hard that you could even see your reflection in them...
After cleaning up the kitchen, Yu Sheng changed into clothes for going out.
He found a set of his own clothes and jacket for Hu Li - to be honest, they didn't fit well. Yu Sheng was much taller than the fox girl, and his clothes were loose on her no matter how he adjusted them.
Pajamas can be made do with a few sizes difference, but it is not so easy to make do with clothes for going out. In the end, Yu Sheng had to use a lot of hidden pins and makeshift needlework to make his clothes fit Hu Li stably without looking too out of place.
But even so, it would definitely be quite strange for a girl who is about 1.6 meters tall to walk outside wearing obviously inappropriate men's clothes, but fortunately - Hu Li's good looks make up for this problem.
Facts have proved that having a pretty face really can allow you to do whatever you want, and the fox demon's face is indeed pretty, which makes her look like a pretty girl with a slightly weird taste in clothes when she walks outside.
While Yu Sheng was busy adjusting Hu Li's clothes, Ai Lin sat cross-legged on top of the shoe cabinet next to him, supporting her chin with her hands and watching the fun. When Yu Sheng was almost done, she couldn't help but mutter, "Hu Li, you said you can 'put away' your ears and tail, but why can't you change your height? And the clothes on you - I 'changed' all these clothes myself, can't your fox demon 'change' ability do the same?"
"A powerful demon fox can do it!" Hu Li immediately defended his tribe. "My father said that a powerful demon fox can even become as tall as a mountain in the blink of an eye! Running in the mountains and forests, there will be thousands of law enforcement immortals chasing behind them. If caught, they can be sentenced to more than 500 years. But I can't do it! I only learned how to refine my ears and tail..."
Irene listened in a daze with a rather strange expression: "Uh, well, this doesn't sound like something to be proud of... Hey, you're speaking more fluently now, aren't you?"
Hu Li narrowed his eyes immediately, looking very happy: "I've gotten used to it after talking about it for a while."
Irene's gaze turned to Yu Sheng again. No one knew what was going on in her mind. She suddenly said, "You two should go out together..."
"Of course," Yu Sheng nodded. "She has no clothes, shoes or anything. It's impossible for her to go out to buy things alone. I must have gone with her."
Irene propped her chin up with her hands: "I want to go out, too."
Yu Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He finally understood what this puppet had been thinking about from time to time since he got up in the morning. But this caught him off guard: "You? How did you get out? A living puppet over 60 centimeters tall walking around the streets? How many people must you have scared!"
"You hold me," Irene said confidently, "I'm pretending."
Yu Sheng didn't react for a moment: "How did you pretend?"
Irene collapsed directly, her hands and feet drooping at the joints, and she opened her eyes as if she was dying with her eyes open.
Even the highlights in the eyes are gone.
Her voice echoed in Yu Sheng and Hu Li's minds: "Look, this is much more ordinary. There are so many dolls in a doll shop. If you throw me in like this, I can be placed in the window for a whole day without anyone noticing..."
Yu Sheng was stunned and immediately amazed by Irene's creativity.
But he felt even more uncomfortable: "Does it look a bit abnormal for a grown man like me to go out shopping with a three-point doll in my arms..."
The light in Irene's eyes instantly returned, and the next second she jumped up from the shoe cabinet and pounced on Yu Sheng's head: "You didn't think it was abnormal when you carried me to a foreign land to fight monsters, right? Why didn't you even want to take me out after the fight? Believe it or not, I will bite your head with my teeth marks - I won't let you put on a Band-Aid!"
Yu Sheng immediately frantically dealt with the puppet that was waving its claws and fangs at his head. After finally taking it off, he threw it directly to Hu Li who was standing there in a daze: "Okay, okay, I'll take you out, but you have to let her hold you."
Irene was immediately satisfied - she just wanted to go out, as long as she could go out, it didn't matter who held her.
In fact she didn't even mind being hauled out in a suitcase that she could unzip and peek out of.
She hasn't seen the outside world for a long, long time.
"It's just that your painting is a bit troublesome," Yu Sheng frowned, looking at the picture frame behind Irene. Because of the frame, Hu Li had to hold the doll's body in a very awkward position, and also avoid the frame blocking the view. "It's eye-catching, but more importantly, it's in the way."
"Then take it down and carry it separately?" Irene reached out and took down the picture frame behind her. "Just don't put it too far away."
Hu Li nodded, and without saying a word, he took the picture frame of the puppet. Then, a bunch of tails appeared behind him, and he stuffed the picture frame into one of the tails.
Yu Sheng finally couldn't help it this time. He realized that the process of Hu Li hiding things in his tail seemed different from what he had imagined at the beginning: "...How did you stuff it in there?! Could it be that it is a special storage space?!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hu Li blinked his eyes, then turned around belatedly and stretched out his tail. He explained in detail to Yu Sheng for the first time: "This one is for storage, these two are for keeping warm when sleeping, and these few can be used as quilts and can also be used to grab things flexibly. In addition to storage, the others can be used in fights..."
Yu Sheng's expression was dull: "...You mean launch it?"
"right."
"Are these all the results of 'refining'?"
"right."
Yu Sheng thought about it and could only sigh that the fox demon was truly magical.
Much more magical than the human body.
…
Special Service Bureau Second Brigade, Song Cheng walked into the office more than twenty minutes later than usual today.
Almost the next second after he sat down at his desk, the monitor on the desk lit up, and the cold and stern face of Baili Qing, director of the Secret Service, which seemed to never change, appeared on the screen.
"It looks like you've already been to the 'train'," Baili Qing's calm voice came from the speaker next to him, "Did it go well?"
"Yes, but nothing went wrong," Song Cheng was not surprised by the director's sudden contact. He just shook his head a little embarrassedly. "The structure of the carriage of today's 'train' is more complicated than usual. When I returned to the real world, I found that I had missed my stop."
"What was the result of the communication with passenger No. 22?" Baili Qing asked directly.
"... Director, something seems to be wrong," Song Cheng immediately adjusted his sitting position, leaning forward slightly, "Regarding No. 66 Wutong Road, the passenger's answer was 'there is no such station' - although this is unusual, it is not outrageous. The most wrong thing is that when I asked about 'Night Valley'..."
He paused, his expression becoming unusually serious: “Passenger No. 22 replied that the stop had been cancelled.”
It was the first time he saw such obvious surprise on Baili Qing's face.
He had always thought that the director's face was frozen.
"This is the first time this answer has appeared," Song Cheng carefully observed the changes in Baili Qing's expression, "Look..."
"Immediately arrange for the divers to carry out a deep dive." Baili Qing said quickly.
