The foxes in the cave shivered and started singing the previous song again.
"Ying ying ao~
"Ying ying ao~
"Ying ying ying ying ao~"
The song, as always, gave them courage!
But amidst the gale and pouring rain by the entrance, an Ancient Immortal walked in, wearing a robe.
They frowned, enduring the interference of the song, but were delighted, uttering strange words, eyes gleaming as they rushed over, grabbing the loudest singing fox and swaggering away.
...
In the dining hall, Black Claw held its fat head, tears streaming down.
It rembered!
It rembered everything!
The mories from its bloodline, the mories about this song…
Back then, this song had briefly helped the foxes, scaring away the Ancient Immortals who ca to seize them.
But it didn't take long before the Ancient Immortals weren't afraid anymore!
They would listen to the foxes' song outside the cave, judging how many foxes were inside!
They would rush into the cave, using the song's volu as a asure, to capture the strongest fox!
This song had given the foxes brief hope but ultimately could not change their tragic fate.
"Ao…"
Black Claw wailed, tears flowing wildly, and dove into its master's embrace.
The vast dining hall, one fox disciple after another, either rembered sothing or was overwheld with emotion, began to cry.
In an instant, the entire dining hall was filled with the sound of foxes crying.
Bai Mo hugged Black Claw, hurriedly patting its back.
"Alright, alright, have you rembered? Have a good cry.
"These mories in your bloodline have nothing to do with your current selves.
"You belong to the surviving bloodline!
"Stop crying!"
The disciples continued to cry, Bai Mo thought for a mont and decisively spoke.
"Extra al! Tomorrow, we'll have an extra al, eat reed flower bananas!"
The hall was still filled with sobbing sounds.
Bai Mo considered the warehouse's supplies.
"Extra snacks! Tomorrow, we'll have extra snacks and distribute crystal persimmon cakes to everyone!"
So disciples in the hall had lifted their heads, looking towards the master, their eyes bright.
So disciples continued to cry, unable to stop their tears.
Bai Mo considered the recent two-day yield from the dicine field, scanning the hall with Divine Sense to check the disciples' health.
"We'll have extra als and snacks for three consecutive days!"
The foxes' food intake on Fox Mountain was already large, having extra als for three days would make the disciples gain another round of weight.
"We can't add any more, eating too much is not good for the body!"
Upon hearing this, the hall quieted down.
Black Claw in Bai Mo's embrace raised its head, wiped away tears, and looked at its master.
It didn't know why, but hearing the master announce extra als reduced its sadness by thirty percent! Listening to extra snacks reduced its sadness by another twenty percent! Hearing about three consecutive days of extra als, its sadness mysteriously disappeared, not knowing where it went.
It even wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back... In this situation, laughing would ruin the atmosphere!
...
In an instant, the three days of extra als on Fox Mountain had passed.
In the current world, three days had also passed.
Whoosh...
The taxi raced down the road.
Inside the car, Bai Mo held White Toe, touching its neck and belly.
"Really gained another round of weight?"
White Toe furrowed its brow, also touched its own belly, touched its shoulder… Had it gained weight? Really? It didn't feel it!
"Ying ying ying?"
Bai Mo sighed, scanning its internals with Divine Sense again to confirm… Healthy and unhard.
"Then that's good."
The song was no longer sung by the foxes. The choir disbanded automatically. Since the song incident, the biggest impact on Fox Mountain was that all disciples had extra als for three days to heal psychological wounds… and gained weight!
Outside, the temperature was very high, above thirty degrees. Inside the car, the air conditioning was set very low, making it sowhat chilly.
The car's radio was broadcasting the latest news from the Committee again.
"Upon investigation, the wanted criminal Quan Boya from Giant Food Mountain has arrived in West State City.
"Please all citizens be vigilant…"
The taxi driver, sitting in the front, snorted coldly.
"What Quan Boya, we in West State City are not afraid at all.
"Heh heh.
"As long as the Committee is here, let them co, they'll never return."
Bai Mo casually agreed.
The taxi driver, seemingly with natural professional skills, opened a floodgate of conversation.
"I heard recently, the Committee has been pretty harsh on criminals.
"After capturing them, they first cut off two little fingers.
"Heh heh heh.
"Actually, it's good to be harsh, harshness can subdue the criminals and allow us common people to live our lives in peace."
Bai Mo sat in the back, nodding.
"You're right."
At the traffic lights, the driver braked.
The middle-aged man turned around to look at the rear seat, mysteriously whispering.
"Do you know why they cut off those little fingers?"
Bai Mo shook his head.
"Why?"
The middle-aged man lowered his voice.
"I've heard… in West State City, there's an alchemy big boss, those fingers were cut off and used for alchemy."
The man looked full of belief, pursing his lips, furrowing his brows, as if he knew an incredible secret.
Bai Mo then pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling quite speechless.
How did such ridiculous rumors spread?
Not only are the college students spreading it, but even the taxi drivers believe it?
Could it be that the entire West State City has already heard the rumors?
Who exactly is responsible for framing him?
...
Screech!
The taxi stopped, and Bai Mo got out holding White Toe, arriving at the entrance of the Golden Emperor Hotel.
There he saw Master Chong, dressed in a bright, colorful short-sleeve shirt and wearing oversized sunglasses, grinning as he ca out from the hotel lobby to greet them.
"Hehehe, Xiaomo, hurry up and co in!"
He took Bai Mo's hand, leading him into the lobby and all the way to a private room.
The old man was quite happy.
"Last ti our al was interrupted, and the manager here felt really bad, so he gave a bottle of Romanée-Conti and two deer steaks.
"Let's just eat them and put the manager's mind at ease."
Bai Mo, holding White Toe, smirked as he noticed the bulging pockets of the old man's pants.
"Master Chong, your pocket..."
Master Chong chuckled.
"Oh, what a coincidence!
"I just closed a deal today and happened to give away an Immortal Insect as well, so I'm celebrating too!"
The hotel corridors weren't busy, with the occasional food cart being pushed by.
Bai Mo and Master Chong walked on the heavy carpet, chatting as they went.
"It's strange, where did their manager go?
"Why isn't he coming to greet us?
"This is quite disrespectful."
Just as they wondered, they turned a corner.
They saw the sa manager as last ti, accompanying another group of guests, grinning and bowing.
That other group consisted of several girls, chatting and laughing.
Bai Mo recognized two of them.
One was Su Yaoyao, who ca alone today without the Peacock Red Treasure.
The other was wearing a chiffon long dress and a designer watch, exuding an aura of wealth, none other than the young rich lady, Yang Wan!
The scene beca instantly awkward.
Bai Mo remained silent.
Yang Wan was also stunned and fell into silence.
Yang Wan's group of girlfriends were quite perceptive and imdiately shut their mouths.
The hotel manager looked at Master Chong, then at Yang Wan, and chose to keep silent as well.
Su Yaoyao stepped forward, smiling as she gently touched Bai Mo's arm.
"Expert Bai Mo, Master Chong, what brings you two here?
"Oh right, Expert Bai Mo, aren't you Yang Wan's classmate?
"I heard you two had so quarrel before?
"Hahaha."
She chuckled, then turned back to tug on Yang Wan.
"Now that we have the chance, why not have a al and a drink with Expert Bai Mo?"
Bai Mo frowned, catching the subtle look in Su Yaoyao's eyes!
Oh?
He imdiately understood what Su Yaoyao ant.
Su Yaoyao wanted to make peace!
After all, Yang Wan's father was the chairman of the committee in Dongguo City, quite wealthy, and having a grudge was no benefit.
Bai Mo didn't really care but wasn't keen to get involved with Yang Wan either and was about to decline…
when Yang Wan, after a mont of stunned silence, spoke smilingly.
"Expert Bai Mo, good afternoon."
She glanced at her friends around her.
"Actually, my mom and I have visited Expert Bai Mo's ho.
"The environnt isn't great, just a small shabby room of a few dozen square ters, quite tough conditions.
"No wonder Expert Bai Mo is always so petty and unforgiving.
"As for dining together, let's not.
"I'm not quite used to it.
"Expert Bai Mo is in Sequence Nine, isn't he?
"Sequence Nine is just too impressive, I'm scared!
"Besides, under my dad there are only a few hundred Sequence Nines!"
Her group of friends burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, that is sothing to be scared of indeed."
"Wanwan, you nearly scared to death, hahaha."
"Sister Yaoyao, let's quickly go."
The atmosphere froze instantly.
The hotel manager shrank to the side, as if trying to rge into the wall, not daring to breathe.
Master Chong's face darkened, his hands trembling slightly!
Yang Wan saw this, but she just sneered, uncaring... she knew Master Chong, just an old rogue of Sequence Nine.
Bai Mo didn't want to escalate the situation, he simply held down the snarling White Toe in his arms, contemplating whether to "accidentally" let it loose, letting the Immortal Beast lose control for once…
Suddenly, he sensed sothing and glanced at the ceiling… there was a presence of Giant Food Mountain upstairs?
And a faint hostility was locked on Yang Wan!
If that's the case, it seed soone else might get even for him?
Su Yaoyao frowned, giving Yang Wan a cold look.
She hadn't expected that the daughter of Chairman Yang could be so spoiled? So brainless?
She walked toward Bai Mo, her face full of apology.
"Sorry about her, just ignore her.
"Today, let treat you to a al!"
With that, she directly grabbed Bai Mo's hand and led him and Master Chong away straight away!
Leaving Yang Wan's group still giggling behind.
"Sister Yaoyao, are you just leaving like that? Hahaha."
"Up to you, then."
"Wanwan, let's head upstairs!"
