"The host's mission this time is... um... to protect the personal safety of the female lead, Yin Mengmeng!" Yuanbao said with a conflicted expression.
"Protect the female lead Yin Mengmeng's personal safety? Yuanbao, are you sure you haven't made a mistake with this mission?" Xu Nian almost slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
It's important to understand that personal safety is a broad concept that encompasses many aspects.
An individual's life, health, freedom of movement, residence, personality, and reputation all fall under the scope of personal safety.
This task is practically asking her to be Yin Mengmeng's 24-hour personal nanny.
“Host, there’s a time limit here. You must protect Yin Mengmeng until she dies of old age.” Yuanbao said, then carefully looked up.
Sure enough, Xu Nian looked over with a murderous gaze.
For the sake of his own roast suckling pig, and for the sake of future roast suckling pigs, Yuanbao immediately added before Xu Nian could threaten him: "Host, this mission also awards one million points."
"One million!" Xu Nian's expression brightened. Protecting Yin Mengmeng was nothing; she could do it.
One million points would make her work herself to the bone.
"Yuanbao, next time there's something good, tell us sooner." Xu Nian patted Yuanbao's head with a smile.
"I will, host." Yuanbao nodded vigorously, gaining a new understanding of Xu Nian's greed for money.
"Good girl." A bright smile bloomed on Xu Nian's stern face.
The little white fox, who was eating a chicken leg, stared wide-eyed.
It didn't understand why Xu Nian was suddenly laughing so happily, but that didn't stop it from having the selfish desire to possess her.
Unfortunately, it is currently in its infancy and can do nothing but cultivate and recover its strength.
Xu Nian noticed that the little white fox was staring at her blankly, and a mischievous thought arose in her mind. She reached out and took the chicken leg from the little white fox's mouth.
"Waaah!" The little white fox looked at its paws, then at the chicken leg in Xu Nian's hand, its bright eyes widening.
Its incredulous expression made Xu Nian laugh. She held the chicken leg in front of the little white fox and teased, "Want some? Wag your tail and show me!"
"..." Is this woman teasing it like a puppy?
The little white fox also had its pride; it would rather go hungry than lose face.
It snorted and turned its head away, ignoring Xu Nian.
Its tail is tucked under its rear end to prevent it from having its own ideas.
Even a tiny fox, no bigger than the palm of your hand, can be incredibly adorable and endearing when it acts haughty.
Yuanbao couldn't take it anymore and pleaded, "Host, the little white fox is still a baby. Please have mercy and give the child some food!"
"It's not like I'm starving you." Xu Nian's smile faded.
Having lost the will to tease, he put the chicken leg and the little white fox aside.
Suddenly losing its warm embrace, the little white fox stiffened. It mechanically turned its head and saw Xu Nian's serious profile.
Its indifference made the little white fox so anxious that it immediately started whimpering, its tail wagging rapidly behind it.
"Host, the little white fox is getting anxious." Yuanbao stood on his hind legs, staring at the little white fox as if it were a novel species.
"It seems to understand me. Yuanbao, are you sure it's just an ordinary fox?" Xu Nian said to Yuanbao in her mind, then looked at the little white fox with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"What does the host mean?" Yuanbao turned his head in confusion.
"Yuanbao, look where the male lead, Mo Xuanfeng, is!" Xu Nian tapped her fingers on the table, her gaze on the little white fox carrying a strange light.
"Host, you suspect that the little white fox is the male protagonist who failed his tribulation?" Yuanbao's expression turned sour.
Could it be that it was just unlucky enough to have a male lead fall from the sky and land on it?
Yuanbao's paws trembled as it began searching for information about the little white fox. When it saw the dazzling male protagonist symbol, its heart sank completely.
"Host, you guessed right." Yuanbao looked at Xu Nian with a mournful face.
"Oh!" Xu Nian raised her hand and picked up the little white fox again.
In her hands, the little white fox swung its tail wildly and let out joyful whimpers.
That ingratiating demeanor was completely unlike the cunning fox demon king in the story.
Calling it a fox cub is less accurate than calling it a clingy puppy.
Xu Nian wasn't particularly interested in a fox, but knowing it was the male protagonist, she couldn't just abandon it, so she decided to keep it as a pet.
Xu Nian tossed the little white fox aside, stuffed the chicken leg back into its mouth, and closed her eyes to rest.
Actually, it's about adapting to the original body's Taoist cultivation methods.
Once the roast suckling pig was ready in the kitchen, the waiter brought it over.
Then the waiter was shocked again, pointing at Yuanbao eating roast suckling pig and speechless.
They feed chickens to foxes and roast suckling pigs to piglets, but they themselves eat vegetarian noodles. Humans live worse lives than pigs.
Xu Nian's attire made the waiter dare not say anything more.
The animals that accompany a Taoist priest are unlikely to be ordinary animals.
They're being fed so well.
That little fox and that little pig must be the Taoist priest's pet demons.
Yuanbao ate the roast suckling pig with relish. Although he knew that the little white fox was the male lead, he still remembered his previous promise and shared half of the roast suckling pig with the little white fox.
The little white fox, who had just eaten a roast chicken, was indifferent to the roast suckling pig. It glanced at half of the roast suckling pig and then looked away.
For the little white fox, nothing and no one but Xu Nian could capture its entire attention.
Damn it, why did it turn into infancy?
If he still had his previous strength, he could have taken her into his arms and done whatever he wanted with her.
Thinking of this, the little white fox's eyes sparkled with a dazzling light.
