Chapter 129
If it weren't for those unexpected events, if they had all been well from the start, perhaps they would be living happily now.
Even the worst of people yearn for love; in fact, they crave genuine feelings more than those who are emotionally abundant, for such feelings are rare and distant to them.
...
Yu Xunge still didn't know that Yu Xunhuan had this preference; otherwise, she would have found a way to persuade Su Yitong to stop smoking. She was afraid it would make Yu Xunhuan feel too good.
Early in the morning, she was startled awake by a shadow filling the entire room—a vivid image of Tulan.
Unlike her usual gentle and adorable self, Tulan was radiating an intense aura. Her dragon-like eyes were ignited by icy blue dragon flames, which extended to the corners of her eyes, burning fiercely without any wind, as if some magical force was swirling and colliding within. Each scale of the dragon shimmered with a magical glow.
Instinctively, Yu Xunge teleported outside the room, landing on the floor in her pajamas.
The next moment, Tulan's laughter echoed through the room.
Yu Xunge: "..."
After spending some time giving Tulan a good thrashing, she began to pack her bag, preparing for her departure to Yuehu City the next day. She needed to deal with the Hufflepuff matters before the battle with the Jiao Long on September 1st.
In recent days, she had learned the customs and etiquette of the Yuehu clan, even mastering some magical runes as per Hufflepuff's requirements. She had memorized the map of Yuehu City and planned her escape routes. She had prepared tools for carrying books and even a ladder for climbing up and down to retrieve them.
Tulan, flying nearby with an ice cream cone, asked, "Where are you going?"
Yu Xunge replied, "Yuehu City. Do you know where that is?"
Tulan responded, "The main city of the Yuehu clan?"
"That's right. If all goes well, I should be back tomorrow night."
"And if it doesn't go well?"
Yu Xunge didn't want to jinx herself with phrases like "I'll hurry back for dinner" or "It'll be fine, who do you think I am?" She wouldn't say a word of that!
Yu Xunge: "Haha, well... it's hard to say."
Tulan thought Yu Xunge lacked confidence. Although she didn't know what dangers awaited in Yuehu City, she decided to encourage her friend: "Don't worry! Everything will be fine! You’re my friend, after all! Go ahead, and I’ll wait for you to come back and have dinner with me!"
Just as Yu Xunge reached out to signal her to stop talking, Tulan had already finished her encouragement...
She silently withdrew her hand.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
**Chapter 155: Running Away with the Ball**
On the morning of August 29th, Yu Xunge was restocking the vending machine on the rooftop when her phone began to vibrate incessantly.
Yu Xunge: ?
She had already deleted irrelevant contacts, muted family and gaming groups, and most people who needed her usually reached out through private messages in the game. Who could it be?
Upon opening it, she found a new group chat with only her, Yu Qingshan, and Yi Qiuguo. The two had even changed their nicknames again.
**[Qiuguo Doesn’t Want It]:** @Yu Xunge, your dad and I are leaving for a while. Can you check in on the house every few days?
**[Yu Xunge]:** Where are you going?
**[Qingshan Didn’t Expect That]:** South.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Are you going south to have a baby? It must be really hot there now.
**[Qiuguo Doesn’t Want It]:** Had a dream about the baby last night. The child said it wanted to see the south.
Yu Xunge: "..." Are they really running away with a baby?!
No need to ask; these two were definitely trying to escape to the north to avoid Yu Xunhuan, and they were even trying to keep it from her.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Does my brother know?
**[Qingshan Didn’t Expect That]:** He’s busy. Don’t tell him. If he asks, just say we ran into some trouble and looked sad and haggard, so we borrowed some money from you to go on a trip.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Okay.
**[Qiuguo Doesn’t Want It]:** Yeah, borrowed some money from you to go on a trip.
**[Yu Xunge]:** 1
**[Qiuguo Doesn’t Want It]:** …
**[Qingshan Didn’t Expect That]:** …
**[Yu Xunge]:** ?
Feigning ignorance, Yu Xunge immediately reported to Yu Xunhuan.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Did you upset Mom and Dad? They said they’re going south and told me not to tell you. Do you not want a little brother or sister?
**[Yu Xunge]:** Mom is only a month into this pregnancy; it’s a delicate time. Please be understanding.
After stoking the fire for Yu Xunhuan, Yu Xunge put her phone away and was about to crawl under the bed when she heard the notification sound for a private message...
What a day!!
Yu Xunge lay on the carpet and opened the private message, discovering it was from Zhao Shuying.
It had been five days since she informed Zhao Shuying about the vice city lord's news. During this time, she had also heard a lot of rumors while communicating with the lone wolves in the training camp. For instance, players were advised not to go to Zelan recently, and even if they did, they should avoid entering the main city and towns.
**[Zhao Shuying]:** Your information is accurate and came at a crucial time. Thank you for helping us avoid a large-scale ambush. The higher-ups are preparing a reward for you.
**[Zhao Shuying]:** Feel free to share any news you receive in the future, even if it turns out to be wrong. You don’t need to worry; confirming the authenticity of the information is our job, and we are the ones making the decisions. All responsibility lies with the Special Affairs Bureau.
**[Yu Xunge]:** I’m glad to help. Do you have a way to discern the truth of the information over there?
**[Zhao Shuying]:** Some require us to see the information firsthand, some need us to interact with related items, and some can only be used three times a day. Each has its pros and cons.
**[Yu Xunge]:** I see.
**[Zhao Shuying]:** If you know any talented individuals in this area, please help us connect.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Sure, I’ll keep an eye out.
Baozi would never join the Special Affairs Bureau; she was someone who thrived on excitement and defied authority, and her not-so-straightforward methods wouldn’t suit the Bureau.
But she wasn’t sure if the other party would be willing to cooperate with her on their own terms, only when needed...
Maybe one day, when she met Baozi in her true identity, she could ask her about it.
Yu Xunge lay on the ground for a while longer.
Tulan poked her head over the edge of the bed: "What are you doing?"
Yu Xunge replied, "I just feel like I forgot something..."
Ah! Xiao Liang! Oh no... I forgot about you again!
Yu Xunge smacked her thigh in frustration!!
Wait for me to come back; this time, I will definitely find you!
I promise!
Tulan, using her paw, pulled out a piece of potato chip and popped it into her mouth, watching Yu Xunge dramatically act out her inner turmoil on the floor.
Yu Xunge could no longer hold back: "How many times do I have to say not to eat potato chips on the bed!"
Tulan rolled over on the bed, pretending not to hear.
Yu Xunge took a deep breath: "You wait until I come back, and I’ll deal with you then!"
With that, she crawled under the bed and transformed into a six-tailed moon fox.
Tulan caught a glimpse of several fluffy white tails peeking out from under the bed and reached out to grab them, but missed.
...
Yu Xunge had a translator given to her by Hufflepuff tucked behind her ear. This translator was more discreet, directly translating the other person's words into sounds that reached her ear.
In addition, she wore a veil that covered half her face, exquisite enough to meet the aesthetic standards of the moon foxes, with a color and thickness that perfectly concealed her mouth.
She moved her gray tails behind her, as if she had a few extra fingers, easily maneuvering each one.
When fully extended, her tails were longer than her upper body, and when relaxed, they dragged on the ground. To avoid getting them dirty, most moon foxes would keep their tails slightly raised.
Her outfit today was all purchased by Hufflepuff, said to be a specialty of the moon fox clan, made from moon silk. It was opaque yet quite beautiful...
Though the pants were a bit odd, with a hole in the back, the fabric around the hole was elastic, allowing her tails to flow out without exposing anything.
In her past life, she had seen and even killed moon foxes, but the most she had ever encountered had only three tails, adorned with fox ears and whiskers.
The six-tailed moon fox, however, bore no trace of fox-like features. For moon foxes, tails symbolized power, while ears and whiskers represented beastly traits and inferiority.
The information on her fabricated profile was also aligned with her six-tailed identity; she was now a level 54 six-tailed moon fox named **Frost Embroidery**.
As she passed by the alchemy shop, she exchanged a glance with Hufflepuff, who was sitting by the window.
Yu Xunge's expression was stern, but the six tails behind her swayed slightly, a silent greeting.
Though this face seemed somewhat unfamiliar, the clothes on this moon fox were prepared by her. More importantly, the arrogant demeanor and the aura that drew attention...
There was no doubt that the little rascal was still around. Hufflepuff averted his gaze and turned a page in his book.
The three main cities of the moon fox clan were far from the three main cities of the undead clan. Yu Xunge spent 85 gold coins to teleport to Yuehu City.
As she walked along the road, apart from the moon fox royalty adorned with runes on their faces, all the moon foxes with fewer tails than hers bowed to her—some even came close to sniff her ears.
