After all the relevant matters in Xiacheng and Chuncheng were arranged, Xu Ning began to pack his bags and prepare to embark on his journey home.
On the day of departure, Xu Ning's carriage was stopped by the people who were waiting at the city gate spontaneously as soon as it arrived. They were all holding various local specialties that Xu Ning was familiar with.
"Lord City Lord, you must take time to come back and see us often!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Xu Ning was deeply moved. Standing at the front of the carriage, he waved to the people and said, "Of course! There's no need to see me off. Please keep these specialties for yourselves. I will definitely come back to visit you often, so don't worry too much about me. As long as you can take care of yourselves, you will be making the greatest contribution to the development of Xiacheng!"
Seeing the people gradually disperse, Jiang Yi quickly raised his whip. At the same time, Xu Ning also swiftly got into the carriage.
There was only a clear shout, and the carriage started slowly, moving steadily along the winding mountain road.
Not long after, the carriage, which had been moving at a steady pace, suddenly came to a halt without warning. Then, accompanied by a slight noise, a chubby figure nimbly slipped into the carriage where Xu Ning was.
Xu Ning took a closer look and was overjoyed to find that the fat fox had returned.
She happily stretched out her hands, gently rubbed the fat fox's furry little head, and teased it, "Hey, you little fat boy, you finally decided to come back!"
The fat fox squinted its lively fox eyes comfortably, a happy smile bloomed on its face, and it responded to Xu Ning's intimate gesture like a pet dog.
Back then, when he first tried out the mini-bomb in the tent, there was a deafening bang. The fat fox was so frightened by the sudden explosion that his entire body trembled, his fur standing on end. From then on, he avoided the tent as much as possible.
Since then, the fat fox has been like a wild horse, running into the depths of the forest to play and frolic. If it weren't for the occasional laziness and not wanting to put in the effort to catch prey, it would usually only be seen every now and then.
Now that she had returned, Xu Ning was wondering where the fat fox had gone to play again, when she heard the treasure chest remind her: "Player, take a look under its nails. It has brought you a gift."
"Hmm? A gift?" Hearing this, Xu Ning curiously grabbed the fat fox's front paw and carefully turned it over to examine it. It wouldn't have been a big deal if she hadn't looked, but once she did, she was stunned—there was a tiny piece of glittering, golden gold tightly wedged between the fat fox's clipped nails!!!
"Oh my, my dear, how can you be so amazing!" Xu Ning was so excited that she couldn't help but hold up the fat fox's furry face and kissed it hard. At the same time, she quickly asked the treasure chest in her mind: "Baby, tell me quickly, how far is the gold mine from here?"
"Player, how do you know this must be gold from the gold mine?"
Xu Ning raised her chin proudly and snorted, "Huh, how could I not know this? It seems that I am really lucky! Although this gold mine was not discovered by me personally, since it was found by my little darling fox, doesn't it mean that it belongs to me? There is nothing wrong with this logic, right? Hahahaha..."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Father Xu behind the treasure box was speechless. Neither he nor Mother Xu were arrogant. Where did Xu Ning inherit this from?
"Hurry up and tell me, is the gold mine far away?!" Xu Ning urged.
"Player, the gold mine is just a short distance away from these two hills." The electronic voice of the treasure chest replied to Xu Ning in a serious tone.
"Little Fatty, let's go dig for gold. I'll give you two extra roast chickens tonight! Jiang Yi, stop the car!"
