Chapter 78 Torture

Lin Xuan wanted to try all kinds of drinks and alcoholic beverages, since they were all free, and she figured she might as well drink them.

Lin Mo shook his head. Whenever he saw his younger sister like this, he was afraid that someone would lure her away with a lollipop.

Lin Mo looked down at the Nine-Tailed Snowball, who was completely exhausted and lifeless from being petted by him. He would interrogate her when they got home.

"..."

Nine-Tailed Fox had a bad feeling, like a thorn in its side.

The extended Lincoln drove all the way back to Qingtu residential area.

At a restaurant near the neighborhood, Li Qi treated Lin Mo to a welcome dinner. The meal was a great success, and after a few rounds of drinks, they finished two cases of beer before heading home.

Unable to resist Li Qi and Pang Hu's enthusiasm, Lin Mo also drank a few bottles of beer, but his current physique was perfectly capable of handling this amount of alcohol.

After drinking two beers, Xia Luoluo was already quite drunk and insisted on clinging to Ye Zimo, wanting to go home with her.

Ye Zimo had no choice but to hand her over to Xiao Ju, who would temporarily keep her in the guest room.

After seeing off his two troublesome friends, Lin Mo took Lin Xuan and Nine-Tailed Snowball home, closed the door, escorted Lin Xuan back to her bedroom, and then took Nine-Tailed Snowball to his own room.

The Nine-Tails, still recovering its strength, lay lazily on the ground, raising its head to reveal Lin Mo's serious and earnest face reflected in its golden pupils.

You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can be used against you in court. Bah, you have no right to remain silent... Lin Mo stared intently at Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be treated severely."

"...Young man, what do you want me to say? Would I, a great demon who has lived for a thousand years, bully your sister?"

Nine-Tails rolled its eyes speechlessly.

"Did you sleep with Lin Xuan?"

Lin Mo asked seriously.

"... "

Nine-Tails tilted its head and fell silent.

Silence equals consent!

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. It's alright, it's alright. If we keep this cat's size, even if we sleep together, nothing will happen, right?

"I was forced into it. To me, humans are just lower animals. Do you know how painful it is to sleep with a lower animal?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox roared, indicating that it was the victim and that Lin Xuan was the culprit.

"???"

Sleeping with my sister is beneath you, you stinky fox?

Lin Mo felt like he was about to roar out loud too.

"Then...then...aside from sleeping, you didn't do anything to my sister, did you?"

Lin Mo felt his heart was about to jump to 250 beats per minute. Asking the Nine-Tailed Fox to protect his younger sister felt like inviting a wolf into the house.

"It's not about what I did to her, you should ask what she did to me. That unreasonable human female not only wants to sleep with me, but also wants to take a bath with me. But I've kept my promise and protected her 24 hours a day."

"Sleep! Shower! 24 hours a day!"

Lin Mo covered his head and wanted to bang his head against the fragile wall.

Damn it! How could he not have considered that Lin Xuan used to bathe, sleep, and eat with the cat?

Lin Xuan is not just a cat lover; she treats Snowball like family.

There's a bathtub at home, and she especially loves to take a bath with snowballs.

Taking a bath is one of Lin Xuan's favorite things to do.

"I know you're thinking all sorts of strange things, but don't overthink it. While we nine-tailed foxes are often amorous, I only like foxes and have no interest in human females. If it weren't for keeping my promise, I would have abandoned your sister long ago."

Realizing that Lin Mo's emotions were about to spiral out of control, Nine-Tailed Snowball placed its fluffy paws on Lin Mo's knees. "I see you all the same way you see Snowball—just as pets."

Lin Mo froze instantly.

Is that so?

Was I overthinking it?

Wait, a pet?! How dare you treat my sister like a human pet?! Unacceptable!

Lin Mo grabbed the nine-tailed fox by the neck and began shaking its fluffy, round cat body.

"Meow~ I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I, a great demon, have been seen naked by lowly humans to keep my promise without complaining. What more do you want from me?"

Nine-Tailed Snowball's cat face displayed an unusually rich array of expressions.

Lin Mo and Jiuwei had a deep discussion for most of the night. After confirming that Lin Xuan and Jiuwei only had physical contact and no deeper communication, Lin Mo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging in suspense like an old father finally settled down.

To avoid being deceived by Nine-Tailed Fox, Lin Mo even went next door to ask Ye Zimo.

"Zimo, is it true that nine-tailed foxes can only fall in love with foxes?"

Ye Zimo stroked her chin: "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

"I'm just curious, I want to know, and I'm collecting material for my comics."

Lin Mo couldn't express his protective feelings, so he could only use comics as a cover.

Do you think you could fall in love with a dog?

Ye Zimo suddenly asked a question.

Lin Mo immediately shook his head: "No."

"That makes sense. In the eyes of the Nine-Tails, humans and they are completely different creatures. How can there be love between different creatures?"

Ye Zimo said calmly.

"Huh? But I've read many stories, especially in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, where fox spirits are said to seduce humans and even transform into human form."

Lin Mo said this with an air of seriousness.

"It's not impossible that what you said is true. In ancient times, there were indeed many monsters that needed to find food, so they disguised themselves and transformed into human form. Male foxes ate human hearts, and female foxes ate human essences. But they only saw humans as food and did not develop feelings. The so-called fox demon lovers are just a beautiful fantasy of humans."

Ye Zimo put down the comic book in her hand and looked at Lin Mo calmly.

"Do you like the Nine-Tailed Fox? I advise you not to waste your feelings. That great demon has no interest in humans."

"That puts my mind at ease."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Since that was the case, he was no longer worried that his sister would suffer a loss.

But out of caution, he pressed further: "Aren't there any exceptions?"

"Of course there are. Just like there are all sorts of oddballs among you humans, such as fetishists and necrophiliacs. The demon race also has lovers, but it's rare, maybe one in a million. Judging from the appearance, the Nine-Tailed Fox doesn't have any of these hobbies. It even looks down on humans."

Ye Zimo touched her chin, looked at Lin Mo, and felt that something was wrong with him, very wrong. Could it be that he had really fallen in love with the fox demon?

"Haha, that's good, that's good."

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief again.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked, "Do vampires and foxes only see humans as food?"

Ye Zimo rubbed her forehead with one hand: "Although many vampires are unwilling to admit it, vampires and humans are essentially of the same origin. Vampires drink blood to maintain their lives, not necessarily to feed on humans."

Lin Mo nodded slightly, which put his mind at ease.

At least in Ye Ziming's eyes, she wasn't a kitten or a puppy.

At this moment, Nine-Tails, realizing that Lin Xuan's guardian had returned, was finally able to sneak out.

It couldn't wait to jump off the windowsill, even though it was on the 8th floor.

It needs to go out for some fresh air; it's not a homebody fox.

Chapter 79 Communication

The next day, Lin Xuan got up and started looking for Snowball.

"Brother, where's Snowball?"

"Go to school first. Snowball went out to play and will be back in a while."

Lin Mo said calmly, "After all, the contract is still there, and the Nine-Tailed Fox will fulfill its promise."

For the past month, Lin Mo and Ye Zimo have been away, so Lin Xuan used the money Lin Mo gave her to buy a bicycle and rode it to the nursing school by herself, gradually becoming more independent.

Lin Mo had to choose between Ye Zimo's luxury car and Lin Xuan's bicycle, and ultimately chose the bicycle her sister had bought.

He reprimanded Lin Xuan and sent her to the back row: "You really have no self-awareness at all."

"I thought my brother was going to ride in Sister Zimo's car."

Lin Xuan pursed her lips, but still smiled happily and hugged Lin Mo's waist.

Lin Mo shook his head. "When will you stop causing me any trouble?"

"Oh, I've been very good lately. I've been going to school, buying groceries, cooking, not going shopping, not meeting people I met online, not opening the door to strangers, and taking good care of Snowball. Haven't you noticed? Snowball has gotten even fatter."

Lin Xuan muttered to herself, not understanding why she was such a worry, even though she was already so sensible that it was heartbreaking.

"Did I tell you not to let Snowball sleep with you, and not to take a bath with Snowball? If you do that, Snowball will look down on you. Cats are very proud."

"Huh? Now that you mention it, I feel the same way. Snowball always looks at me with disdain, as if I'm the cat that poops everywhere. Do you think Snowball has lost its mind?"

Lin Xuan recalled Xueqiu's expression and felt that Xueqiu had never behaved like this before. Since being found after going missing, Xueqiu had become more and more self-aware and even rolled its eyes.

"Snowball pooped everywhere?"

Lin Mo asked curiously.

"No, it's just that I don't like taking baths."

Lin Xuan said.

Lin Mo imagined the scene of Snowball being dragged to take a bath by Lin Xuan. In the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was like a pet insisting on giving its owner a bath, which was indeed hard to accept.

Forget it, as long as my sister is happy, why should I care about Kurama's feelings?
