There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

As he spoke, Situ Wanli's expression became somewhat subtle.

Seemingly unsure how to describe what he was about to announce, he deliberated for a while before choosing the word "deal".

Everyone who was about to get up and leave stopped in their tracks.

They wanted to see what rare and unusual items the owner of Qianlong Hall had found that made him act so mysterious, and how he could sell them for a good price while the distinguished guests were gathered.

As everyone looked around, they saw Situ Wanli clap his hands lightly twice.

A maid from the Hidden Dragon Hall stepped forward, her movements as if she were carrying some priceless treasure, drawing everyone's attention. They saw that she was carrying...

A fox?

It does look like a very cute and lively fox, but it is still just a fox. Is it really necessary to treat it like a rare treasure?

Most of the people were slightly taken aback, and some were puzzled.

Han Fei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, staring at the fox through the curtain for a few more moments, muttering to himself:

This fox looks kind of familiar.

It seems...where have I seen it before?

When Jiang Mo saw the fox, his expression changed slightly, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he did not dare to draw any conclusions for the time being.

"That fox is actually a spirit beast."

A slightly breathless voice rang in his ear as Yan Lingji leaned close to Jiang Mo's ear, confirming his thoughts.

Some loose strands of hair fell down, making Jiang Mo's neck a little itchy.

He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, only to find that Yan Lingji and Zi Nu were still locked in a stalemate, perhaps because they were not in a position to go all out.

However, it is naturally difficult for each of them to maintain their original appearance.

If the scene were described in even slightly more detail, it would most likely fail to pass censorship, leaving one only to sigh with nostalgia for the days when spring clothes were thin and flimsy...

One glance was all it took for Jiang Mo to understand why Lu Ziqiao had made that classic statement.

No wonder he was my mentor in my early life; he has such a unique perspective!

Even though Jiang Mo was very interested in the rare spirit beast, he couldn't help but look away from the magnificent scenery before him until he heard Situ Wanli's next words:

"This fox cub was raised by a very important nobleman of the Hidden Dragon Hall."

As his gaze swept over the people present today, Situ Wanli couldn't help but secretly wonder which one would win the favor of that important person, and a hint of envy rose in his heart.

An important benefactor...

Interesting. Even as the Ninth Young Master, I'm afraid I don't deserve the weight of that title.

Han Fei sat down at the table again and keenly noticed the key words that Situ Wanli unconsciously emphasized.

He raised his hand to refill his glass, a multitude of names flashing through his mind.

In this South Korean city of Xinzheng, who are the people who hold such a high status?

Before Han Fei could get a definite answer, Situ Wanli continued, "That noble person wants to entrust someone to raise this fox cub for a period of time, and promises to do his best to fulfill one request in return."

A request in return?

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become a little interested. The reward could be big or small, but given the other party's status as an important figure in the Hidden Dragon Hall, what he could do was far beyond what ordinary people could do.

This promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and that is no exaggeration.

"Then what conditions must be met to raise this white fox? It can't be that we have to feed it dragon liver and phoenix marrow all day long!"

Some frivolous voices came over.

But it was Jing Ke who, faced with this rather novel matter, couldn't help but speak up with a grin.

"To my shame, it's not up to me to decide who will raise it; it depends on the fox cub's own opinion."

As he said this, Situ Wanli raised his hand as if to hug the white fox.

But just as his hand reached out to the maid, the fluffy tail swept over, leaving a white afterimage, and snapped Situ Wanli's hand away.

The slightly sideways glance seemed to carry a hint of human disdain.

"Look, I have no say in this at all. I can only let this fox make its own decisions. I can't force it in the slightest."

Situ Wanli shrugged, feigning helplessness.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but smile, becoming even more curious about who the seemingly intelligent white fox would choose to feed it.

I was also curious about who was lucky enough to receive that noble person's promise.

Without Situ Wanli giving any instructions, the white fox jumped down from the maid's arms and landed lightly on the ground.

With rather elegant steps, it dashed out without hesitation.

It rushed into the private room of Xinzi Pavilion, jumped directly onto Jiang Mo's lap, stuck out its tongue, and rubbed its head against Jiang Mo's face.

It's like a dog that has finally waited for its owner to come home.

Foxes are canines, no problem.

Chapter 15 Young Master, if you have any needs, please feel free to come to me.

Huhuhu~

The pink tongue licked back and forth on Jiang Mo's face. The intelligent white fox stood up on its hind legs, its front paws already on Jiang Mo's body, trying hard to burrow into his arms.

They were incredibly enthusiastic.

This white fox is by no means small or delicate.

Thanks to Jiang Mo's strong physique and his current level of internal strength, he can subconsciously use his internal energy to resist external forces.

Otherwise, caught off guard, he would definitely have been tackled to the ground by now.

Jiang Mo was a little confused, unable to react to the enthusiasm shown by the white fox, wondering how he had been chosen.

Just now, when I saw the fox slap away Situ Wanli's hand and jump down on its own, it was quite aloof.

The first steps it took after landing were quite light and elegant, like a cat that isn't very affectionate but thinks it's the master.

Jiang Mo glanced at it but didn't pay much attention to it.

With Yan Lingji, a cat that's always hissing, already at home, Jiang Mo had no intention of going to great lengths to raise another one.

He was somewhat curious about the nobleman whose true identity was unknown, but he didn't necessarily need to find out more.

Instead of racking your brains to please a fox, it's better to watch a show.

In any case, we have basically achieved all the goals of this trip.

Thinking this, Jiang Mo turned his head slightly, focusing most of his attention on the battle between Yan Lingji and Zi Nu.

Unexpectedly, after pacing around in circles for a couple of steps, the white fox ran straight towards him.

Gone was that aloof and indifferent demeanor; the way it wagged its tail so loudly made Jiang Mo wonder if this guy was a husky in a fox fur.

"It seems the deal has been finalized."

Situ Wanli, who was in charge, obviously did not expect things to develop this way, and was clearly stunned for a moment before he remembered to continue speaking.

"what the hell?"

"Is this what you call a choice? Brother Situ, are you kidding us? This joke is anything but funny!"

"There's something fishy going on here! There's definitely something fishy going on!!"

The other participants in the YiBao conference hadn't even figured out how to attract the white fox to their side when the selection process ended.

Immediately, complaints and discontent arose one after another.

Situ Wanli was also embarrassed.

What others may not know is that he personally and carefully served the white fox for half a day, knowing how delicate and difficult that creature was to please.

Needless to say, food and drinks were provided.

Even when it comes to hugging, he only allows young girls to do it, and they have to be quite attractive.

Anyone else who dares to reach out will either get their hands slapped away with a tail like Situ Wanli did, or even have their face scratched.

Such a fox cub would naturally not be raised by an ordinary person.

Even though those who could become distinguished guests of the Hidden Dragon Hall and attend this Treasure Exchange Conference were not ordinary people, Situ Wanli felt that the fox must have hesitated for a long time before making a choice.

Unexpectedly, it was so decisive.

You could even say they can't wait.

Not to mention the other distinguished guests who felt there was something fishy going on, Situ Wanli couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: We're saying that even if it's pre-arranged, can't you at least cover it up a little?

But things have already come to this, what can he do?

Situ Wanli could only try his best to appease everyone and maintain order at the exchange fair, allowing everyone to leave in an orderly manner.

As for the Xinzi Pavilion, it was naturally left until the very end.

Not only because they were originally ranked last, but also because Situ Wanli was still worried about the white fox and wanted to give them a few more instructions.

"Dong Dong~"

"Come in."

After two slow knocks, a rather indifferent response came from inside. Situ Wanli pushed the door open and entered, followed by a maid who carefully carried a brocade box containing a jade coral vase.

As soon as he entered, Situ Wanli couldn't help but be slightly startled again.

The Yi Bao Conference had already ended, and all the distinguished guests had left. Even if they had matters to discuss, they would not remain in those private rooms.

Instead, they specially invited the person to the Qianlong Hall for entertainment.

The space here is much more spacious. Not to mention three people, even ten people could gather in the room without feeling crowded, and there would be no need to argue about seating arrangements.

From a rational point of view, that is indeed the case.

But the three people inside were ignoring the spacious room and insisted on squeezing together tightly, which looked rather odd...

envy!

After all, this scene was quite different from squeezing onto the subway. There were no strangers with strange smells surrounding you from all sides. Yan Lingji and Zi Nu, who were sitting on either side of Jiang Mo, were both exceptionally beautiful women in the world.
