I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

She looked at the nine-tailed fox behind the old man and continued to ask:

"Tushan?"

"I am from the Tushan lineage. However, that is all in the past and not worth mentioning."

The old woman opened her eyes, her clear gaze hardly befitting her frail and aged appearance.

"Compared to my pointless past, you two distinguished guests have come from afar and must be tired. I have already had the food prepared, please take your seats."

"Qinghuai, help me up."

The red-clad Wolper, called Qinghuai, immediately went over to help the old man.

"Quickly, you two, please take your seats. The food won't taste good if it gets cold. Xiao Chuyu, don't just stand there, quickly greet the guests."

The old woman kept calling out to the group.

"Oh, Grandma's coming right now."

The blue-clothed fox responded softly, and gently placed the box from daytime aside.

"gentlemen?"

During the day, one looks up at the sunset.

"Ah."

Whether a nine-tailed fox is a one-tailed fox or not, it has little to do with Xi.

I'm just passing through and need to stay overnight; nothing bad will happen.

The old man sat in the main seat, and then the fox-woman in red sat down to his right.

Xi sat to the left of the old man, with Bai Zhou, who was always by her side.

"Please try this, both of you. These are freshly picked bamboo shoots this afternoon; they're very tender."

The old woman seemed very happy, perhaps because it was a rare occasion for her to have guests at home.

"...Indeed, it's very fresh."

Xi picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, tasted it, and gave it a satisfactory review.

"Little guest, would you like some meat? How about a feathered leg? These are all from our own feathered beasts, they're very delicious."

"Oh, thank you for your help. I can do it myself. Please eat too..."

"That won't do. There's no way we'll let our guests eat by themselves. Alright, little guest, come on over!"

"Well……"

The blue-clothed fox Chuyu sat down next to Bai Zhou and kept feeding him, seemingly enjoying it very much.

"I'm back, Grandma! Oh, they've already started eating."

The little fox girl who went to park her car quickly walked into the house. When she saw the people who were already seated, her smiling face immediately fell.

"San'er, quickly wash your hands and take a seat. Don't keep the guests waiting."

The red-clad fox spirit, Qinghuai, warned her younger sister.

"Oh, please make yourselves at home, don't worry about me, I'll be right back."

The little fox girl ran off happily in the blink of an eye.

"This is my youngest sister, Shuangyue. She is mischievous, so please forgive her."

Although the old woman said this, her words were full of doting affection.

"The child is very cute."

Xi didn't care. Compared to the innocent and carefree child who knew nothing, she cared more about the guy who kept fawning over the little devil.

"The guest is right, the children are absolutely adorable."

Chu Yu, seemingly struck by something, wholeheartedly agreed with Xi's remarks with a broad smile.

That being said, please stop putting food in my bowl. My husband is already building up his anger!

As the sun rose higher and higher during the day, Bai looked down at his bowl, which was overflowing with food...

"Sir, we've been out for so long and must be tired from the journey. Please eat some more vegetables to nourish your body."

"Well……"

Xi paused for a moment, then ate the food that Bai Zhou had put in her bowl without expression.

That wretched brat! He suddenly wrapped his arm around her tail! How dare he!

Back to the Thirty-Eight Strange Foxes

"I'm back. Sorry to keep you waiting."

The youngest of the three fox spirits, Shuangyue, took her seat.

The tiny creature sat on the chair, and from the daytime, only half of its small face and its large, fluffy fox ears could be seen.

The little fox girl is very cute.

The fox spirit is annoying.

Bai Zhou reluctantly accepted Chu Yu's feeding.

However, every time Bai Zhou was fed vegetables by Yu Jia, he would feel his tail tighten.

Although the little trick temporarily diverted the man's anger, if things continued like this, he would have to go buy bone-healing ointment.

"Sister Chuyu, you don't need to trouble yourself, you haven't eaten yet."

It's better to just refuse quickly.

"Ugh... I'm being rejected, San'er, I, as the host, am being rejected by the guest... Ugh..."

She was on the verge of tears, as graceful as a willow in the breeze.

"Ah...no, no..."

"I... I'm full, Sister Chuyu, it's none of your business..."

Daylight has never been good at dealing with this type of woman.

And my tail hurts so much.

"That's good. I thought the little guest didn't like you."

Chu Yu reverted to her gentle, smiling self and finally started eating.

"call……"

My tail... feels good now.

However, I was indeed full.

Bai Zhou patted his full belly, then looked up and saw three pairs of fox eyes staring at him.

The eldest sister, Qinghuai, has a pair of golden eyes, a pretty face, long white hair, a proud temperament, and a crimson robe, giving her the appearance of a peony beauty.

The second daughter, Chuyu, had a pair of pale silver eyes, beautiful sideburns, and a light blue dress. She was gentle and graceful, with the appearance of a beautiful lotus flower, but she was larger than her sisters, making it hard to look away from her.

The youngest daughter, Shuangxue, has heterochromatic eyes of gold and silver. She is a tiny fox cub with an adorable face, and she is chewing her food with her mouth puffed out.

Why is everyone looking at him?

During the day, he looked away in confusion and focused intently on watching the sunset.

"..."

Xi was not in a good mood, and even though the old woman had prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, she did not have the leisure to enjoy them to the fullest.

Therefore, Xi only touched her chopsticks a few times as a courtesy, tasted a few bites of the dishes, and praised their deliciousness before stopping.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Noticing Bai Zhou's gaze, Xi turned her head to look at him.

Weren't you enjoying your meal just now?

"Why aren't you eating, sir? Are you tired from the journey?"

"Retract your tail," Bai Zhou asked with concern, looking up at him.

The old woman also asked with concern:

"But the food didn't suit the guests' tastes? Why did they only eat this much?"

"I've had my fill. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Haha, it's just some simple home-style dishes. I'm sorry for not being a good host."

"But... cough cough..."

The old woman started coughing, and Qinghuai quickly took care of her.

"Grandma, please speak slowly, there's no rush."

"Okay, okay, it's all over now."

Once she had caught her breath, the old woman gently patted her granddaughter's hand, indicating that she didn't need to panic.

"Please excuse my frail body, my guests. I am nearing the end."

"Grandma!"

Upon hearing the old woman's words, the three sisters stared at her in unison, complaining that her words were so hurtful.

"Haha."

The old woman didn't care at all. She looked at the sunset, then turned her head to carefully examine the daytime.

"Good boy, a good boy... cough cough."

"Guest, may I take my leave? My health is no longer what it used to be."

The old woman's voice was a little hoarse. Although she was happy to have guests, her body did not allow her to have any drastic emotional changes.

"Naturally, physical health is more important than anything else."
