After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Innate ability.

Charm: All creatures have a preference rate of at least 10% towards it.

Intelligent: Logical thinking and learning ability improved by 10% (equivalent to the IQ of a nine-year-old child today).

Favorability rating: 55% (Close friend).

Fun fact: In ancient times, the nine-tailed fox was an auspicious beast, and an extremely auspicious one at that. However, in a certain fan fiction of "Journey to the West," a fox demon named Su Daji caused trouble everywhere and ruined the Shang Dynasty's fate. That's when the image of the nine-tailed fox began to change, and they became demons and evil beasts.

Chen Shimei and the Wise Wolf Holo are in the same category as the nine-tailed fox.

Zhou Yan placed his hand on the transparent plastic lid of the pet carrier.

The little fox Su Xiaowan, who was sleeping in the pet carrier, twitched and slowly raised her slender head. Zhou Yan saw a pair of bright eyes. When their eyes met, the corners of the eyes slightly curved up, revealing a kind of inhuman, yet perceptible charm.

Damn, I love this kind of sassy yet innocent fox.

I bought it!

Zhou Yan pointed at Su Xiaowan and shouted.

"Boss, how much is this fox?"

The young female boss glanced at it, and her expression immediately changed.

"Um, guest..."

The young woman was perplexed.

"These foxes are not easy to raise. They are very wild, possessive of their food, hold grudges, and like to bite. Someone wanted to buy one before, but it was bitten by this fox and bled profusely as soon as it was taken out."

Zhou Yan opened the pet carrier and stretched out his hand.

The fox in the pet carrier pressed down, then leaped up and landed on Zhou Yan's chest.

Zhou Yan hugged the fox. As a fellow auspicious beast, the fox, being a Bai Ze, immediately licked Zhou Yan's chin with its small, pink tongue.

Zhou Yan hugged and stroked the fox fur.

It has to be said that this fox truly lives up to its reputation as a spirit beast that has awakened 1% of its power; it smells wonderful and feels comfortable to touch.

Zhou Yan turned to look at the young woman, who was dumbfounded.

You should know that ever since we bought this fox, it has always had a haughty and disdainful attitude, even towards the young woman who feeds it daily.

Why do women suddenly throw themselves at any man they see these days?

Are you all such sluts when you see a man you like?

Zhou Yan pointed to Su Xiaowan, who was rubbing her fluffy head against his chest.

"how much is it?"

The young woman hesitated.

"This fox, if you want it, take it for two thousand."

Zhou Yan: "..."

I was careless. Where would an ordinary student like me get two thousand yuan for pocket money?

Chapter Ten: Domesticated Little Fox

What if I don't have money?

Stealing Su Xiaowan?

Or should I run outside and borrow money from the driver?

Zhou Yan placed the little white fox in the pet carrier and whispered.

"Wait a minute, little guy, I'm going to get some money."

The little white fox was weak and pitifully whimpering.

Zhou Yan saw a very subtle cartoon-style speech bubble appear next to the fox's head, which read:

"Don't abandon me, or I can escape later?"

Why are Bai Ze's abilities so strange?

The properties bar is one thing, but why is it that the fox's speech isn't directly understood, but rather conveyed through a dialog box?

Zhou Yan patted the fox's head.

"I'll be right back, wait for me."

Zhou Yan ran out of the pet store. Just now, when he passed by several pet stores, he saw a welfare lottery shop mixed in with them.

Zhou Yan glanced at it and walked away. This time, Zhou Yan walked into the lottery shop and went to the display case to look at some small lottery games displayed in the glass case.

These small lottery games offer instant payouts, with the potential winnings ranging from 50 to 20 yuan. Zhou Yan had tried them before, spending over thirty yuan but only winning five yuan.

Compared to lotteries that pay out millions or tens of millions only once in a while, these smaller lottery games have a relatively high winning rate. As for whether you can break even...

Of course, all of this applies to normal people. As soon as Zhou Yan's eyes fell on these small lottery tickets, he saw words like "Cannot win", "Win five yuan", and "Win twenty yuan" written next to them.

Zhou Yan's gaze swept over the small lottery tickets.

Standing before a lottery ticket for a small lottery game called "Kicking the Ball," Zhou Yan suddenly looked up, pointed at the ticket, and said...

"I want this one, how much?"

The shop owner, who was playing on his phone, glanced at the lottery ticket Zhou Yan was pointing to.

"ten bucks."

Zhou Yan took out a banknote and slapped it on the glass cabinet.

The shop owner took out the small lottery ticket that Zhou Yan wanted from his phone.

Zhou Yan carefully scraped it open, then pretended to shout excitedly.

"Holy crap, five thousand!"

Zhou Yan handed the lottery ticket to the shop owner, who was playing on his phone. The shop owner glanced at the ticket, paused for a moment, and then looked at it more closely.

Half a minute later.

Zhou Yan walked out of the lottery shop with a big smile on his face.

As they went outside, a cute little girl with a bewildered expression walked towards them.

Zhou Yan slightly stepped aside, preparing to make way, but as he got closer, for some reason, the little girl leaned against him.

Normally, helping the elderly and children is a common and normal thing, so Zhou Yan didn't think much of it. After the little girl leaned against Zhou Yan, he grabbed her. Before he could get a firm grip, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she bit Zhou Yan's hand.

Holy crap!

Zhou Yan was jolted by the pain and quickly pushed the child away.

The child fell to the ground. Zhou Yan raised his hand and saw two rows of teeth marks on it, the deepest of which was bleeding.

The child who had been pushed to the ground by Zhou Yan got up and cried pitifully at Zhou Yan.

"I'm so hungry."

Zhou Yan shook his hand and said angrily.

"Go eat if you're hungry, why are you biting me?!"

The child got up, ignoring the dust covering his body, and shouted with his mouth open.

"Hungry, hungry, food..."

The child ran towards Zhou Yan with outstretched arms, but after only two steps, a slender, fair hand suddenly appeared from the side as if it had materialized, and grabbed the little girl's body.

After this gesture, a beautiful woman with long hair and an elegant demeanor, dressed in a cheongsam, walked out.

The child who had just bitten Zhou Yan struggled a few times in the beauty's hands. The beauty then held the little girl with her other hand and bowed her head to Zhou Yan apologetically.

"I'm sorry, my child has a mental problem. He'll eat anything when he's hungry. He bit you just now. We weren't watching him properly."

Zhou Yan brought his hand, which was in much less pain, to his chest, grabbed it with his other hand, and his expression darkened considerably.

Something's not right.

After Zhou Yan saw the cheongsam-clad beauty suddenly appear, he opened her attribute panel and got this result.

Name:? ? ?

age:???

height:???

weight:? ? ?

The little girl is the same; all her attribute fields are filled with question marks.

After all, it was only the first day that Zhou Yan had obtained Bai Ze's abilities, and he didn't know what was going on with this strange and unpredictable situation, but one thing was certain.

These two women are not normal; they are very likely awakened beings.

"nothing?"

Zhou Yan turned around.

"You'd better keep an eye on your child."

Zhou Yan went to the pet shop where Su Xiaowan worked.

The woman in the cheongsam watched Zhou Yan walk away. After Zhou Yan entered the pet shop, the middle-aged man in sportswear walked up to the woman in the cheongsam and stopped beside her.

Qiongqi looked in the direction the woman in the cheongsam was looking and asked.

"Why didn't the Taotie eat the child?"

The woman in the cheongsam chuckled.

"There's only one possibility why Xiaoqing didn't eat the person all at once: she couldn't eat them."

Qiongqi's facial muscles twitched.

Something that even a gluttonous beast wouldn't be able to eat...

This place is a bit scary.

Qiongqi, the woman in the cheongsam, and the little girl quickly left the street.

……

Outside the street.

Zhou Yan carried a fox to the passenger side door of a black luxury car, opened the door, and got in.

The driver in the driver's seat looked at the fox in Zhou Yan's arms in surprise.

"You came here to buy a pet?"

Zhou Yan grabbed the little fox's paw and waved it at the driver.

"Isn't it cute?"

driver:"……"

Perhaps it's a generation gap; the driver didn't understand why Zhou Yan, who had just experienced the transformation of Qiongqi, would turn around and buy a pet.

Going to a mental hospital is more normal than buying a pet, isn't it?

Fortunately, Zhou Yan didn't cause any more trouble after that, and the driver safely took him home.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Yan opened the door and went into his house. The first thing he did was give the little fox a bath, washing away the bloodstains and other filth, and then drying it with a hairdryer.

After doing all this, Zhou Yan carried the little fox to his own dining room, took out a bowl, poured a glass of pure milk into the bowl, and placed it in front of the little fox, Su Xiaowan.

Su Xiaowan lowered her head and licked the milk.

Zhou Yan got up and opened the refrigerator next to him, intending to find some food to fill his stomach. To his disappointment, there was not much cooked meat in the refrigerator, only two apples left that he could make do with.

Zhou Yan took out two apples, took a bite of one of them, and turned around. As he turned around, he saw the little fox that had been licking its mother's milk earlier raising its head, its two translucent and crystal-clear eyes looking at him pitifully.

A string of text floated out from beside the fox.

"I want to eat an apple."

Zhou Yan smiled and took a bite of the other untouched apple.
