Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

"In terms of worldly matters, Kyoto's education is quite good."

What's more, Fox has some decent connections both inside and outside the circle.

Lu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "You seem to care a lot about this doll."

Chen Ruoan gazed at the figure traversing the mountains and fields and smiled, "A little girl who is stubborn enough, unwilling to cause trouble for others, and will not give up on herself is cute enough and likable enough."

"She can do her best, but the rest of the good fortune is up to that half-baked fox spirit."

As Lu Jin was listening to the fox's words, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

The signal was poor in the mountains, and it took him a lot of effort to hear the report from his family members.

The investigation into the assassination is clearly not going as planned. The perpetrators are from an internationally notorious criminal organization, and the "evil" they believe in is very likely a special kind of virus.

Members of the "list" are ranked according to the amount of virus in their bodies, with subordinates having absolute obedience to superiors. This insurmountable hierarchical system remained unchanged for hundreds of years until ten years ago when a member broke the shackles of the hierarchy, successfully defected, and returned to the East.

This case clearly planted a seed of unease in the minds of those at the top of the "list," so they were willing to do anything to find Lu's granddaughter-in-law and then kill her.

What troubled Lu Jin was that the virus in her granddaughter-in-law's body had characteristics similar to a retrovirus, capable of inserting its own DNA into the DNA of human cells, becoming part of the human genome, and being passed down from generation to generation.

In other words, Lu Linglong is also susceptible to being drawn by "evil" or becoming a target of assassination by the "list".

The abnormalities and special abilities of the members of the "List" originate from the symptoms caused by viral infection, which are fundamentally different from the traditional Qi cultivation and alchemy systems.

The supernatural beings' vigilance and screening of the "list" members were almost hellishly difficult, which was one of the important reasons why the assassin was able to easily bypass the Lu family's sight and successfully infiltrate the Lu family mansion.

"One bad thing after another."

With the enemy in the shadows and us in the open, and being an international force, Lu Jinzhen had no way to make a move.

He still needed to personally coordinate with "Na Du Tong" and strengthen the defenses against his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. After thinking it over, Lu Jin even had an ominous premonition that a full-scale war was about to break out.

"Brother An, please take care of Linglong for me for a few days. The Lu family is probably going to be busy lately."

With numerous family affairs to manage, and being of a "flawless" nature, he was reluctant to ask for help easily.

But elders taking care of younger generations is a perfectly normal thing in family relationships, so Lu Jin spoke of it without any reservations.

"That's possible, but I need to go to Baiyun Temple."

“That’s easy. Just have Linglong switch allegiance. Besides, Kyoto has good educational resources and is a stable place. The Lu family has enough influence to handle everything.”

Lu Jin patted Chen Ruoan on the shoulder: "Once we get through this special period, I'll treat you to some fancy chicken later."

"What kind of chicken?" Chen Ruoan asked.

"The new stores you opened during the years you disappeared were KFC."

"What the heck?" Chen Ruoan fell into deep thought. It turned out that as early as the year 2000, the old man who liked to cook chicken had opened a shop in China.

In her previous life, Chen Ruoan's family lived in a small, not-so-wealthy county town. As far as she could remember, they opened their first Kende Chicken restaurant in 02.

For him at the time, the fried chicken, hamburgers, fries and all kinds of desserts displayed in the transparent cabinet were almost his dream. He would envy the co-branded figurines that some of his classmates got from eating chicken nuggets.

Chen Ruoan's family was not wealthy. Even when she went to high school in the city, her living expenses could only cover the Tuesday discount promotions at no-name burger shops, where she could buy two burgers for seven yuan.

After college, my memories of Kentucky Fried Chicken turned into various dramatic scam stories on QQ and WeChat, and that damned phrase, "Today is Crazy Thursday, V me for fifty."

"You're too kind. We're practically family. Your great-granddaughter is my great-granddaughter. How could I possibly abandon Linglong's safety?"

People are really strange. They spend thousands to eat at a luxurious buffet, but it seems that they can't compare to the fifty yuan of Original Recipe Chicken they got from their brother. Are people just parrots or freeloaders at heart?

"make a deal!"

The two old men hit it off immediately and began making arrangements for their respective matters.

Xia He's home is in Manyun Village, Xiangyang, Hubei Province, and her family is not well-off.

At that time, human traffickers were rampant, and human trafficking was common. It took the fox a lot of persuasion to convince the Xia couple.

Their daughter is in fourth grade and will be going away to study. The two of them are reluctant to part with her, but when they think of Kyoto, their reluctance quickly disappears.

Applying for temporary enrollment in Kyoto requires a series of documents, and for ordinary families, getting into a good school is extremely difficult. Yet this young man solved it with just a few words. I really don't know what kind of family he comes from.

"Brother Fox." Staying with Chen Ruoan, Xia He didn't need an umbrella and obediently followed behind: "What should we do if the teacher wants to see the parents?"

“I’ll arrange it,” the fox replied. “Also, the way you call me ‘Brother Fox’ sounds really strange.”

For Chen Ruoan, the word "brother" only felt right when it came from his sister Chen Yiqing in his past life. When others called him that, he always associated it with the affected "giegie," the infatuation and worship in fan culture, or the classic opening line of emotional scams…

"Then what should we call him? Brother Fox, Brother Tanuki?" Xia He presented a series of options: "Brother Fox?"

Ok?

Fox Bro, he's interesting.

···

In Kyoto, Chen Ruoan stood on the street and looked out. The elementary school was gently enclosed by a light beige wall, with a few patches of tender green ivy climbing on top, swaying gently in the wind. The school gate was a clean, silver-gray iron fence, next to which stood a square school sign that read "Kyoto Red Star Elementary School".

Several rows of tall sycamore trees were planted around the road, their branches and leaves providing shade. The roadside was quiet, with only the occasional sound of bicycle bells.

During recess, Chen Ruoan heard the rhythm of "Young Eagles Take Flight." Students doing calisthenics on the playground were wearing blue and white school uniforms with red scarves around their necks.

Although she had heard about "Young Pioneers" in books and on television, Chen Ruoan had never worn a red scarf.

Lu Jin, who was traveling with me, sighed, "Without realizing it, my childhood is so far away. We didn't have these things back then."

The fox thought, not necessarily.

Despite differences in regional development and family circumstances, everything Chen Ruoan saw during her campus visit continued to evoke old memories.

For example, the running track in the elementary school playground was made of cinders, which made a "rustling" sound when you stepped on it.

At the other end of the playground stands a sky-blue metal slide. In the southeast corner of the wall, there are circles of small, round pits of varying depths, which the boys dug out specifically for playing marbles.

Hopscotch squares were drawn on the cement floor. Some of the white chalk lines were very faint, while others had been secretly redrawn by someone. Small shoe prints were imprinted in the squares, and the traces of hopping on one foot were still very clear.

Chen Ruoan swung on a swing beside the playground, the faint scent of locust blossoms mingling with the dusty smell of the field carried on the breeze. The music from the music room drifted out: "Let's row our oars~ Our little boat pushes through the waves~"

"How old are you? Still playing these games?" Lu Jin sat down on the swing next to him.

Chen Ruoan hummed a lullaby as her body swayed with the swing. Sometimes her vision was very close to the sky, and sometimes it was very far away. The wind was gentle, the sunlight was soft, and everything became very quiet.

"strangeness."

"It's even more peaceful than when I was in the snow-capped mountains."

"Huh?" Lu Jin asked, puzzled.

"Old Lu, go back to the school administration office and get my enrollment paperwork done at the same time."

Lu Jin heard an utterly absurd request and nearly fell off the swing. She knew this fox wanted to experience youthful energy, but starting from elementary school was a bit too childish.

"Stop fooling around."

"No trouble."

The fox's change in mindset is based on the idea that "some people spend their whole lives healing from their childhood, while others spend their whole lives being healed by their childhood." This era is very close to the fox's memories of its past life; in other words, it's no different from being reborn.

Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns; however, a fox can still have vivid experiences of the past.

"Old Lu, if I started from the first grade, I would be Linglong's personal bodyguard." The fox offered a reason that Lu Jin couldn't refuse at all.

"Hmm—can you handle your schoolwork?"

Chen Ruoan replied proudly, "Who do you think you are? Before junior high, it was no problem at all!"

Fox struggled in junior high; physics and chemistry were particularly difficult, to the point that his combined grades in both subjects were below the passing mark.

"What do you look like? You look like a first-year student now, an absolute repeater."

"It's okay, I'll attack in the form of a cute little boy."

Swish!

Chen Ruoan transformed, his body shrinking to half its original size, becoming a beautifully sculpted little boy with bright, golden almond eyes, a slightly upturned nose, and delicate, pink lips.

Black is a cold and austere color, but when worn by his small body, it doesn't look sharp at all. He has a soft and childlike charm all over him, and he is as cute as a delicate little porcelain doll.

"Fine, I give up!" Lu Jin shrugged, got up and walked towards the school administration office: "I'll talk to the principal first, and we can complete the rest of the procedures later."

Chen Ruoan waved and changed his address: "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

"Huh?" Lu Jin froze. Hearing this, it seems like I've actually made a profit!

···

School was over at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Students walked out of the school gate one after another. Chen Ruoan tiptoed along the narrow stone edge of the flower bed, his arms outstretched like a little sparrow spreading its wings, his steps wobbling as he maintained his balance.

The parents who came to pick up their children dispersed, and the fox saw three suspicious boys at the corner of the alley, making a deal like underground members of the Communist Party.

"Win! Win! You have to win! Villain card, please, I want Gao Qiu!"

"I want Golden Lotus! Give me Golden Lotus!"

"After you two remove the cards, are you really going to give me the instant noodles?"

The two children prayed loudly, gripping the "Xiaowaneng" packaging bag with both hands. They opened it with a "rip," but dared not look at the gift card inside. They covered it with their hands, peeking out only a corner of it.

"Damn it, it's the Twin-Tailed Scorpion's Treasure-Removing Technique again

"Mine is Yang Chun..."

The card was lost, and the two boys lost their dreams. For the sake of a villain card, they secretly used their allowance to buy a month's worth of instant noodles.

"Can I eat now?" The chubby boy named Zang Long raised his hand to indicate. I really don't understand what's wrong with these guys. Why are they not eating perfectly good instant noodles but instead collecting Water Margin cards?

Chen Ruoan leaned forward.

He also collected Water Margin cards. Among students, there was a legend that collecting all 108 heroes could earn him 1,000 yuan, but even as he grew up, he and his friends never managed to collect them all.

"Looking back now, it's clear that children's interests and beliefs are truly pure."

If the shamans who practice "divine masks" can grasp this group, they might be able to put on some novel performances.

Chen Ruoan picked up the card that had been ruthlessly discarded. A strange copper bell sound drifted through the gradually deserted alley. The three boys heard the strange sound, and the light in their pupils gradually faded. They froze on the spot like soulless puppets.

After the sound of the copper bell, came the "putt-putt" sound from the motorcycle exhaust pipe.

Chen Ruoan saw a motorcycle rapidly approaching from the street, with two people on the back and one on the back. The person on the back reached out a rough hand and suddenly grabbed his arm. He was forcibly pulled onto the motorcycle and sandwiched between the two people. He was abducted in an instant.

"Big brother, I've caught the best-looking one. If Master Han doesn't like him, we can still resell him for a good price! If he's from a rich family, that'll be even better; we can extort a good amount of money from him!"

"Hey!" the motorcyclist laughed. "You're a smart kid, I was afraid you'd grabbed the wrong one. The kid looks good, he'll be useful. Let Master Han take a look, maybe we can give him a surprise."
