Chapter 314: The Fennec Foxes' Repayment
However, due to the aftereffects of the fattening drugs given to her by the fur traders, the mother fennec fox has completely lost her memory and does not remember her five cubs. During these days of daily interactions to lose weight, she has treated the five fennec fox cubs as her friends.
And Sheriff Black Serval took on the task of teaching the little foxes how to hunt.
The black serval rubbed Xu Ying's palm with its pointed ears: [You're welcome.]
[I feel a great sense of accomplishment leading these children.]
The little sand cat had already climbed up Xu Ying's shoulders to the top of her head, and was excitedly stepping on her breast: "Webmaster! My long jump has improved! Big manul's fur is super soft!"
As he was about to demonstrate it on the spot, the black serval grabbed his tail with its claw.
A muffled "bang" sound was heard in the distance - it turned out that the sleepy caracal turned over, and its round body was stuck between the tree branches.
It was not in a hurry and yawned in this posture, revealing its two iconic little canine teeth, with its furry front paws dangling in the air.
Xu Ying walked over with a smile to rescue the adorable big furry ball, followed closely by two "supervisors", one black and one yellow.

When Xu Ying pushed open the iron door of the rescue station, before she had time to adapt to the dimness inside, she was overwhelmed by the warm yellow wave coming towards her.
The shelter, which had been a bit empty after the expansion, was now covered with warm yellow fur balls.
Except for the five little fennec fox cubs, all the fennec foxes that successfully lost weight are here!
It's like stirring up a fox's den.
More than thirty pairs of triangular ears stood up, and the round black eyes looked like a cluster of stars that suddenly lit up in the dim room.
[Webmaster Xiao Xu!!!]
The army of fennec foxes came like flowing honey, their furry heads rubbing against her trouser legs, and their fluffy tails swept across her hiking boots, making a rustling sound.
"You." Before she finished her words, the fennec foxes rushed over chattering.
Fox Xiaowu used his head to push her calves forward, while the other three grabbed her trouser legs and dragged her to an open space where a food bowl was placed.
These stainless steel food bowls were distributed by Xu Ying when he customized fat-reducing meals for overweight fennec foxes. Each one is engraved with their name.
When Xu Ying staggered to a stop, he discovered that each food bowl was filled with golden sand, gleaming with tiny lights in the setting sun.
Xu Ying was stunned. "Did you guys mine all this gold sand in the desert?"
[Look, sister!] Fox Sibao stood up, his paw pads slapping the largest food bowl. [The dry riverbed in the north of the desert! We dug for three days!]
The other kids immediately added in a flurry: [There are some under the poplar trees, too!]
[There are also cracks in the rocks!]
When Xu Ying squatted down, the feeling of the fur rubbing against the back of her hand made her nose sore.
Three months ago, these fennec foxes were fed by illegal fur traders until they were as round as balls and even gasped when turning over. Now they are panning for gold in the desert day and night for her.
She was about to speak when she suddenly felt the hem of her clothes sink - the fox was holding a struggling sand lizard in its mouth and stuffing it into her palm like a treasure.
[Webmaster Xiao Xu, in addition to the gold, we have also prepared a sumptuous dinner for you!]
Xu Ying's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Wait! This is not necessary"
It's too late.
The food bowl area instantly turned into a scene of moving fennec foxes "repaying their gratitude": some were dragging beetle shells with a crackling sound, some were pushing half a scorpion tail together, and the most outrageous one was the fox Erniu, who had a dried jerboa corpse on his head, with his little chest puffed up high.
"Stop! Everyone stop!"
Xu Ying tried to intercept the "gift" in a hurry, but three cricket legs were still stuffed into his sleeves.
She pinched her brows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I accept the gold, but these" - pointing to the two dung beetles fighting on her shoe, "but the delicious meal you sent, I really appreciate your kindness."
"My dears, keep this for yourselves. Thank you for your hard work in panning for gold~"
The foxes suddenly became quiet.
Fox Xiaowu rubbed her wrist with his drooping ear: [Sister, don’t you like it?]
The other fur balls immediately let out hurt "chirp" sounds, and a few grains of golden sand in one of the food bowls slipped out due to the sighs.
"It's not that I don't like it!" Xu Ying quickly rubbed the little guy's head, "Yes..."
She suddenly caught sight of the pet weight loss records piled in the corner, and an idea struck her: "How about saving these high-protein snacks for the kids who need to gain weight?"
The foxes were in an uproar.
[I want to gain weight!]
[I am two taels lighter than Fox Sibao!]
[My medical checkup sheet says:]
As they were arguing, a greedy fox named Sibao secretly stuffed the scorpion's tail into his mouth.
Xu Ying smiled and bent down to rub the heads of the little guys. Suddenly, he heard a low cough.
She looked up and saw Qi Xiao standing at the edge of the food bowl area. His tall figure stood out among the furry surroundings.
The man was still wearing a neat black work suit, his muscle lines faintly visible under the tight fabric, and there was no expression on his cold face.
But at this moment, two fennec foxes were squatting on his shoulders, and three were surrounding his feet, one of which was trying to climb onto his Martin boots.
The cutest thing is that Qi Xiao, who is always serious, is holding a mini food shovel in his hand and is clumsily helping the little ones sort out the pile of gold sand.
"You're finally back."
Qi Xiao looked up at her, his deep voice carrying a hint of relief.
He was surrounded by five or six fennec foxes, and a rare hint of helplessness appeared on his usually stern face.
Fox Erniu hung on his shoulder, his little claws grabbing his collar, trying to stuff a wriggling sandworm into his collar;
Fox Sansan and Fox Moyu bit his trouser legs from the left and right, trying to drag him to the food bowl area;
The boldest fox even jumped on his head, and its fluffy tail swept across his nose, causing him to sneeze.
"Boss Qi? Why are you here?"
Xu Ying blinked and tried hard to suppress her smile.
Qi Xiao raised his eyes to look at her, his voice helpless and gentle: "Of course, the soldiers you brought out asked them to help."
He stretched out his hand to grab the fox boss on his head, but the little guy dodged nimbly and sat down on his palm instead, shaking his big ears proudly.
Xu Ying burst out laughing and walked over to help him out: "Alright, alright, stop messing around."
She reached out and rubbed Fox Boss's head, "Brother Qi Xiao is not your toy."
The fox boss made a "chirp" sound and jumped down from Qi Xiao's hand reluctantly, but in the blink of an eye, he and the other fur balls surrounded Xu Ying, chattering and asking for credit.
[elder sister!]
Fox Xiaowu rolled to her feet and held up a miniature food bowl filled with gold nuggets as if offering a treasure. "I dug the most!"
The other little guys immediately started to make noises in dissatisfaction. The furry balls pushed and shoved each other, and some of them rolled directly to Qi Xiao's feet.
Qi Xiao bent down to help the fallen fox cub up, but the other three took the opportunity to climb onto his arms.
He had to maintain a half-squatting position, like a Christmas tree hung with plush ornaments.
