Feeling wronged, Fox's Assistance walked to the kitchen and carefully pushed open the door with his paws.
At the dining table, Reiko had already brought the Five Tigers Retreat to continue eating. However, compared to Reiko who was calmly ignoring Fox's Assistance, the Five Tigers Retreat who had relaxed after the matter was resolved were eating with their cheeks puffed out as they peeked at the fox who had snuck in.
Fox's Assistance was holding a broken glass heart. After smelling the delicious smell of stewed chicken in the air, he immediately revealed his true colors. His fox face was drooling with desire.
The Five Tigers Retreat paused. When My Lord was still alive, Fox's Assistance had actually taken good care of them. After My Lord left, Fox's Assistance even came to visit them and promised to find a suitable successor for them. However, because he and his brothers kept asking him about My Lord's whereabouts, he didn't dare to come again.
Seeing Fox's Assistance's pitiful look, the Five Tigers Retreat couldn't bear to see him like this. They observed Reiko's expression and carefully picked up a piece of chicken breast and handed it to Fox's Assistance.
Hu Zhizhu's eyes lit up. He said thank you in a small voice, and then he swallowed the meat and bones into his stomach with a crunching sound.
During this time, Reiko didn't say anything. The Five Tigers Retreat continued to pick up a few more pieces. Seeing that he didn't eat much and had given all of it to Fox's Assistance, Reiko helplessly blocked his chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Eat more. You eat so little. Even the little tiger eats more than you. No wonder people think that I'm abusing you!"
The Five Tigers Retreat was stunned.
Fox's Assistance immediately realized that she was talking about him. He flattered, "Aiya, Lord Xia Mu, I already said that the inquisitor framed you. No one would say that." After that, he looked at the Five Tigers Retreat with a serious face. "Lord Xia Mu is right. Five Tigers Retreat, you're too thin. You should eat more to nourish yourself."
"…" The Five Tigers Retreat opened their mouths. They didn't know what to say to the thick-skinned Fox's Assistance. They could only nod and say in a barely audible voice, "I understand."
Seeing that he was eating obediently, Reiko gave him some more meat. Then she put down her chopsticks and looked at Fox's Assistance, who was smacking his lips with envy, "Let's go.
"Ah?"
"Don't you have something to say?" As she spoke, Lingzi bent down to pick him up and hold him in her arms. She looked at Wu Hutui, who was in a daze, and said, "Go and have a rest after eating. I'll clean up the dishes later."
"Mm, okay." The Five Tigers Retreat responded. However, the moment she turned around, he said, "Wait! Mr. Fox's Assistance … "
Fox's Assistance froze. Was he still going to ask? What should he do? If he asked, should he say something? Did Lord Xia Mu mention it in front of the Five Tigers Retreat?
"I …" The Five Tigers Retreat's leader opened his mouth, but he happened to meet Reiko's gentle and bright eyes. He immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say. "No, nothing. I'll make tea for you!"
Fox Protector immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Lingzi glanced at him doubtfully and ordered, "Don't worry. You can do it after you finish the meal!"
"Mm …"
The Five Tigers Retreat stared blankly as her figure disappeared behind the door. He sighed deeply. Was he unable to speak in front of her anymore?
Just as he was feeling down, the Five Tigers Retreat suddenly heard Fox's Assistance's voice outside the room.
When the words "contract" and "mission" entered his ears intermittently, he could still barely maintain his composure. However, when he suddenly heard the words "Lord Sumino", Fox's Assistance's voice came to an abrupt halt with a stern "shut up".
The Five Tigers Retreat's chopsticks fell on the table with a clatter.
…
Outside the room, a minute ago.
Fox's Assistance obediently leaned on Reiko's arm. He was relieved that the Five Tigers Retreat didn't ask about Lord Sumino. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, why haven't you signed a contract with the Fu Mourning God? How are you going to complete your mission?"
"Nothing!"
"Mm …" Feeling like he was being bullied again, Fox's Assistance lowered his head in grievance. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't just give in like this. He raised his head and said with a look that said, "It's all thanks to me this time. I remembered that Lord Sumino had reported me before …"
"Shut up!" Reiko tightened her grip and sharply interrupted him. She turned to look in the direction of the kitchen and then lowered her voice. "Let's talk in the room."
"Huh?" Fox's Assistance was stunned.
This reaction … Did the Five Tigers Retreat not know about it? Fox's Assistance's heart skipped a beat. Things had become troublesome like this. He hung his head dejectedly again. "Sorry, Lord Xia Mu. I understand."
Reiko led Fox's Assistance into the "master's room". As soon as they entered the room, Fox's Assistance's gaze fell on the two motionless Tai Dao.
Were they still in their original state and hadn't been activated? That shouldn't be the case. Even if they didn't sign a contract, the moment the God's Inquisitor stepped into This Pill, these Fu Mourning God should've been activated. A powerful sword seed like the Tai Dao should've been able to return to its human form! What's going on?
Just as Fox's Assistance's mind was filled with question marks, a fresh fragrance suddenly wafted into his moist nose. He abruptly snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at the pink pastry placed in front of him.
Seeing that he was only looking at the pastry without eating, Reiko, who was casually sitting cross-legged, asked curiously, "You don't like it?"
Yesterday at the House of Ten Thousand, he clearly saw the God's Inquisitor buy this pastry for a Fu Mourning God with a fox. That fox looked quite happy eating it. Could it be that they weren't of the same breed?
"Lord Xia Mu … Why did you suddenly …" Fox's Assistance asked blankly.
"Isn't it all thanks to you remembering Senior Cheng Ye's report that things weren't so bad? This is your reward. "Reiko took a bite of the cherry blossom pastry and instantly frowned. Tsk, it's too sweet!
Fox's Assistance's small eyes welled up with tears. He said emotionally, "My Lord … You're the best!"
He wanted to pounce on her but was stopped in time by Reiko's finger on his forehead. "Hey ~ Don't make me throw you out. Sit properly! If there's anything else, let's talk while we eat! "
"Sob sob sob …" Fox's Assistance pretended to cry because of her heartlessness. He peeked at her reaction through the gap between his paws … As expected, the girl didn't even look at him. She was minding her own business and looking at the cherry blossom pastry. Sob … Alright, after interacting with her twice, he slowly figured out her personality. Although she was always so cold to him, her heart was softer than anyone else's. He couldn't help but smile.
"Because the Infernal Realm finished the AI in advance, I'm actually here today to explain the mission to my Lord."
The Infernal Realm was in charge of the advanced technology and dealing with the souls of the dead. Naturally, the Government of the Hour was in charge of the small world.
Fox's Assistance waved his paw and a stack of information appeared out of thin air. "Lord Xia Mu, this is the information on the small world you're in for this mission. I've collected all the useful information. Take a good look before you go on the mission! "
Reiko looked at Fox's Assistance with a complicated expression as she looked at the thick stack of information. Every time she thought that he was a cowardly and irresponsible little rascal, he would change her impression of him … Although he couldn't maintain it for long, she couldn't bear to scold him.
Lingzi raised her hand and gently rubbed his head. Then, she took over the materials and started to read them.
The setting was basically the same as the modern world, but the society was controlled by seven kings chosen by the slate called "Drexton." There were ordinary people and superpowered people.
The information on the small world was very detailed, including the background and things to take note of. It was obvious that the creator had put in a lot of effort to collect this information.
When she looked at it, Fox explained some of the more important places in detail. "The Infernal Technical Department has confirmed that there are two souls in this small world. One of them, who has been staying in a place called Town Mucho for a long time, has been locked. You only need to find the other party and use the AI capture function in front of him to catch him back. This is relatively simple. The other one's whereabouts are constantly changing and can't be captured. You will need to find him after you arrive. The flow of time is different on both sides. The other side is faster, so it's okay to spend more time. Please ensure your own safety. This Pill has a teleportation circle, and the AI has already set the teleportation location to Town Mucho. The Five Tigers Retreat should know how to use it … Oh right! "Fox's Assistance had to remind her again." Are you going to bring the Five Tigers Retreat with you? This small world has a bug like superpower, so it's quite dangerous. However, if there's a fully trained Five Tigers Retreat, it shouldn't be a problem. The premise is that you have to quickly sign a contract with him so that he can unleash his power. "
"Contract?" Reiko was stunned. She had been so focused on taking care of the Five Tigers Retreat that she had forgotten about this. Moreover … "You didn't tell me how to sign a contract last time, did you?"
"Uh … I think so …" Fox's Assistance smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to tell her that he had thought that she would quickly gain the recognition of the Fu Mourning God and have the Fu Mourning God sign a contract with her. Who knew … Of course, it wasn't the Lord Xia Mu's fault. He should have known that the Five Tigers Retreat would be able to maintain its human form after taking This Pill. The other Fu Mourning Gods would also be affected by it.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Reiko knocked on the ground and urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Okay!" Fox's Assistance came back to his senses. His golden eyes spun twice as he explained, "There are two ways to sign a contract with a Fu Mourning God. The first way is to directly use your spiritual energy to lock onto the other party's spiritual energy and force them to sign a contract … My Lord, don't look at me like that, I'm scared! Hiss … Why is it suddenly so cold! "Fox's Assistance cowered into a ball as he spoke.
He was really serious for no more than three seconds. Lingzi glared at him. This kind of method sounded very bad. Only a crazy interrogator would use it! Of course, there were one or two people in this world whose brains were filled with cement.
"Alright, the second way is for the Fu Mourning God to sign a contract with you. If the other party is willing to sign a contract with you, you will feel it."
This rule was actually revised by the Government of the Hour to protect the Fu Mourning God after many cases of God Inquisitors abusing knives.
Fox's Assistance didn't say it out loud. From the beginning, he had hoped that Reiko would use the second way … for the sake of the Fu Mourning God who had been hurt, for the sake of the Lord Xia Mu.
Would the Fu Mourning God sign a contract with her?
Reiko fell silent. The Five Tigers Retreat's reluctant faces kept flashing through her mind. Finally, she said, "We'll talk about the contract later. I'll go on this mission alone!"
