Ji Zuodao felt uneasy under Dog Master's gaze, and the "righteous indignation" on his face was about to crumble, so he simply raised his leg and kicked Dog Master in the butt.

"What are you looking at! Can't you see my aunt is here? Don't you have any manners?"

"Hurry up, bring out the tea! The best tea! Get out that jar I've been keeping at the bottom of my trunk... uh, that unopened box on top of the cabinet!"

After kicking Dog Master, he instantly switched to "obedient junior" mode, rubbing his hands together, bowing, and smiling obsequiously at the Empress:

"Your Majesty, please have a seat. The conditions are simple, please bear with us."

After settling the Empress in, he darted over to Qiqi, who was still rummaging through the wardrobe with her little bottom sticking out, squatted down, put on a serious face, and spoke in a tone as solemn as if he were investigating a case:

"Don't worry, Qiqi, I'll help you look! It's definitely inside the house. I'll dig three feet into the ground to find it! Which scoundrel dares to steal my sister's money? If I catch him, I'll make him..."

Before he could finish speaking, he looked down and met Qiqi's raised face.

The little girl's eyes were red-rimmed, and tears clung to her long eyelashes, threatening to fall. Her nose twitched with anxiety and guilt.

Her little hands unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, looking utterly wronged, as if to say, "I lost the money my brother gave me, I'm so useless..."

Ji Zuo said: "..."

His next string of indignant and harsh words suddenly caught in his throat.

Oh shit……

Ji Zuodao silently raised his hand and covered his chest.

Ji Zuodao, you fucking deserve to die.

Dog Master was kicked. He pouted and was about to bar his teeth and say something back when he finally caught a glimpse of the red figure that had silently followed Ji Zuodao into the house.

When he saw who it was, Dog's shiny black fur bristled from the tip of his tail to the top of his head!

Holy crap?!

What's this woman doing here?!

"Dog Lord~"

The empress, barefoot, leaned against the doorframe, her red dress like fire, her figure graceful and alluring. Her peach blossom eyes gazed at her with a smile, their allure captivating.

"Still as charming as ever."

"No! Please don't!"

Dog shuddered, its neck instantly retracting, and its four paws subtly shifting back half a step. It forced a complex expression of both fawning and wariness onto its face.

"I don't deserve to be called 'Master' by you!"

This woman...

This woman is not someone to be trifled with!

Dog's thoughts were instantly pulled back to a certain unpleasant afternoon.

It's really nothing serious—

It was just that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, it wandered to the back mountain, took a good look at the smooth and lustrous jade steps at the entrance of the goddess's cave, and suddenly felt the urge to urinate surge up. It couldn't hold it in and lifted its leg to urinate.

It's no big deal!

But the empress wouldn't let it go and came to its door demanding an apology.

Damn it! Before becoming a dog, you can't pee or poop anywhere, and now that you're a dog, you can't even pee whenever you want?

Then wasn't this dog's service for nothing?!

Back then, Dog was young and hot-blooded; when his dog temper flared, he stubbornly retorted:

"I'm hot-tempered, what's it to you?!"

I thought it was just a minor, harmless argument that would be over soon.

Unexpectedly...

The Empress's heart is smaller than the stitches on that red dress she's wearing! And she holds grudges!

She turned around and bribed that ungrateful little bastard Ji Zuodao with a plate of fragrant and sweet flower cakes!

Ji Zuodao trotted up to it, calling it "Dog Master" repeatedly, which made it dizzy and confused. Then he chugled several jars of strong liquor mixed with drugs down its throat!

After it's completely drunk and passed out...

When I woke up again, the dog was no longer there.

It was personally packed up by that little bastard Ji Zuodao and sent to the Empress's fox den!

There are also more than a dozen young fox spirits who have just transformed into human form, and whose eyes are full of passion!

This is not finished.

The empress somehow obtained a wooden board, wrote a line of large characters in cinnabar, and stuck it upright at the entrance of the fox den.

The handwriting was beautiful, but the content was shocking:

"A strong, muscular black dog, well-endowed, skilled in bed, and experienced."

"Refer a friend and get a 50% discount! ❤"

Then, the woman started making phone calls!

"Third Aunt, yes, yes, I have a great project here... Come on, bring your daughter along, it's a rare opportunity!"

"Sixth Aunt! Oh, you've finally arrived! I saved you a good seat! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Big Cousin! Stop dawdling! If you're any later, you won't get a turn!"

……

Good guy!

In just one hour, the Empress managed to call all her relatives, cousins, and other family members using only a mobile phone!

Outside the fox den, foxes of all shapes and sizes, some in human form and some not, lined up in a long queue, their green eyes fixed on the trembling creature inside...

Those few days...

It's a memory I can't bear to look back on.

When it shakily and unsteadily emerged from the fox den, leaning against the wall, it felt as if its body had been hollowed out and its soul had left its body.

The empress was squatting under the shade of a tree by the door, slowly counting a wad of banknotes in her hand. Hearing the noise, she raised her enchanting face, her peach blossom eyes curving into a smile, her red lips parting slightly, her tone utterly nonchalant:

"Oh, you're out now?"

"anger……"

Is it still doing well?

Dog's legs went weak and he almost collapsed back down.

Oh shit……

That woman is a real beast!

They're worse than dogs!

While the dog master and the empress were catching up, Ji Zuodao's eyes darted around furtively to the left and right.

good chance!

He quickly turned his back, blocking the view of the Empress and the Dog Lord with his body, and like a thief, he reached into his pocket and swiftly pulled out the blue purse embroidered with a little duck.

He twisted the bag open with his fingertips and without hesitation stuffed the original amount, including interest, back into the bag.

That's the rule in the underworld: if you win, you get double the amount back.

It's bulging and feels solid to the touch.

After doing all this, he quickly clutched the purse in his hand, then pretended nothing had happened, stuck out his buttocks, and scurried his head under the bed.

"Oh dear! There's so much dust under this bed..."

He grumbled under his breath, rummaging aimlessly in the dusty corner, making noises as if he were "searching hard."

A few seconds later, he suddenly yelled and pulled his head out from under the bed.

With a nose covered in dust, he held the little blue pouch high:

"Found it! Qiqi! Look! Isn't this it!"

Qiqi turned her head at the sound, her big, innocent eyes widened instantly, her little mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she ran over to him.

She took the purse, examined it from all angles, and then opened it to feel its thickness. Her little face was filled with confusion and surprise.

"It's my little duckling... but why has it gotten so fat?"

"Hey! You just don't understand!"

Ji Zuodao slapped his thigh and began to improvise, his expression mysterious yet confident, as if to say, "I've been there, brother."

"This purse, just like a person, has a spirit! You're usually well-behaved, don't cry or make a fuss, and even work hard on your homework, so it thinks you're a good owner, and when it's happy, it... um, it has puppies! Money makes money, you know?"

He spoke with increasing conviction, almost convincing himself of his own point:

"So you see, not only did we find it, we even have more! What does that mean? It means our Qiqi is a good girl, even our wallets are biased towards you!"

Qiqi was confused by this mysterious yet kind explanation, but she understood the two points: "I have more money" and "I am a good child".

The little girl immediately stopped crying and started laughing. Her big eyes sparkled with undisguised admiration for Ji Zuodao, and she grabbed his clothes and shook them.

"Brother is so amazing! I looked for it so many times and couldn't find it, but you found it right away! Brother is the best!"

Those eyes, pure and trusting, were filled with a child's most sincere admiration for his "omnipotent older brother."

Ji Zuodao felt a burning sensation from that gaze.

He dared not look into Qiqi's clear, bright eyes; the smile on his lips froze, and his gaze began to wander.

Damn it, my conscience hurts so much.

Just as he was feeling extremely uncomfortable, his gaze darting around, trying to find something else to change the subject—

His gaze inadvertently swept across the doorway.

Then, it froze.

Beside him, Dog Master was tilting his head and looking at him with disdain.

That look in his eyes clearly said: Keep acting, keep acting. You can only fool a three-year-old with this act.

Meanwhile, the little fox on the ground, which the empress had casually placed aside and which was still listless, also opened its eyelids.

It's as if it's saying—Damn it, when it comes to being inhuman, Ji Zuodao is the real expert.

The Empress was standing with her arms crossed, her captivating peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and a half-smile playing on her red lips as her gaze lingered on Ji Zuodao.
