Upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, Ayumi and the others, who were already frightened by the little fox's bared teeth, instinctively retreated two more steps. Conan, being a good child, naturally couldn't just watch Mu Tianyuan scare his companions. Immediately, Conan said, "Don't listen to Brother Xiao Mu; he's just teasing you."

It was unclear whether Conan had extraordinary prestige among these little rascals or if the three rascals were simply lighthearted, but upon hearing Conan's words, the three rascals instantly lost their fear. In a few quick steps, they gathered in front of Mu Tianyuan, peering at the little fox, demanding a hug. To their earnest request, Mu Tianyuan, without a second thought, refused.

What kind of joke was that? To Mu Tianyuan, the little fox was a companion, the most important person in the world. If Conan and the little fox fell into the water together and Mu Tianyuan had to save one, he would absolutely, without hesitation, choose to save the little fox. How could he let these three bratty kids touch her indiscriminately?

Hearing Mu Tianyuan's refusal, the three little rascals immediately looked disappointed. Mu Tianyuan knew that if he didn't give an explanation to fool them, it would be a bit too unkind. So he looked at the three little rascals and said, "It's not that big brother is stingy. Look, the little fox is still mad at you because you treated her like a puppy."

No sooner had Mu Tianyuan finished speaking than the little fox immediately cooperated by baring her teeth at the little rascals. Unfortunately, the little fox was a cute creature. The first time she bared her teeth, it was unexpected and worked, but afterwards, the intimidation effect was gone. Instead, it almost made the three little rascals melt with cuteness, and even Conan, who considered himself an adult, was adorable-faced...

Seeing the three little rascals' starry eyes, the little fox said with a hint of depression, "Why do I feel like it had the opposite effect...?"

"Because you're so cute..." Mu Tianyuan also realized that it didn't seem to have achieved the desired effect and replied somewhat helplessly. When the little fox heard Mu Tianyuan shifting the blame to her, her two round, watery eyes immediately turned into crescent shapes...

To divert the attention of these little rascals, Mu Tianyuan took out a few bottles of drinks from the bag he was carrying and handed them to the little rascals. After the little rascals thanked him, they introduced themselves to each other. After chatting casually for a few sentences, Mu Tianyuan learned that the little rascals planned to go treasure hunting next. Mu Tianyuan didn't take it seriously and just smiled, "Treasure hunting? Are you planning to go back to that art museum and look again?"

But Genta, the little fat boy, heard Mu Tianyuan's words and shook his head seriously. Then he confidently shouted, "We're going to find our own treasure."

"That's right!" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also nodded very seriously.

Looking at his energetic three little companions, Conan rolled his dead-fish eyes and chuckled twice. "Damn it, why does I, a dignified high school detective, have to play treasure hunting with these little rascals?!"

Perhaps because Mu Tianyuan gave these little rascals drinks, these three little rascals chirped and chattered about their plan to find treasure and become rich, regardless of whether Mu Tianyuan wanted to know. Mu Tianyuan smiled and nodded, then said, "Treasure hunting isn't a simple matter. First, you need to know where the treasure is, right? Otherwise, are you just going to dig anywhere?"

Originally, Mu Tianyuan was just teasing the children, but unexpectedly, Genta actually pulled out a piece of paper and said smugly, "We have a treasure map!"

"That's right, that's right, Genta just picked it up!" Little loli Ayumi nodded vigorously, while Mitsuhiko beside them also said, "So we're going treasure hunting!"

Conan: "Hehe..." I'll say it again, why in the world do I have to go treasure hunting with these little rascals?!

"Mm-hmm, there's a treasure map," Mu Tianyuan still didn't take it seriously, just smiled and nodded in response. Genta, perhaps to prove that he indeed had a treasure map, directly handed the paper in his hand to Mu Tianyuan and said, "Big brother, look, this is the treasure map I picked up!"

Mu Tianyuan was also idle and playing with the children. Seeing Genta giving him his treasured map, he first put the little fox back on his shoulder, then took the map and casually looked at it. On the paper, from top to bottom, were several drawings that looked like a child's doodles. They were nothing more than a tower, a moon, clouds, an inverted triangle, an umbrella, stars, a rectangle with a bar in the middle, and finally a fish at the very bottom. The only slightly different thing was the three letters "ORO" written next to the rectangle.

After seeing the things on this paper, Mu Tianyuan first froze, then smiled and returned the treasure map to Genta, saying, "So, do you know where to find the treasure?" Although Mu Tianyuan didn't think this was a real treasure map, he saw their eager expressions and couldn't dampen their enthusiasm, could he? So he simply went along with their words.

"Big brother, does this first drawing look like Tokyo Tower?" Genta pointed at the first drawing on the paper and asked Mu Tianyuan. Mu Tianyuan looked at it for a couple of seconds, then very sincerely shook his head and said, "Can't tell!"

"Uh..." Genta was stunned when he heard Mu Tianyuan's words, then looked at Mu Tianyuan with a disgusted expression and said, "Big brother, you can't even tell what this is?"

"That's right, that's right, Big brother, you can't even tell what this is?" Ayumi also looked at Mu Tianyuan with disdain from the side.

"Hehe..." Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes when he saw Genta and Ayumi's expressions. Damn it, with those weird drawings, the fact that I can even roughly guess what they are means my imagination is rich. But if I can tell what that kind of doodle is, then there's something wrong with me!

"According to our deduction, this should be Tokyo Tower. Maybe the treasure is buried there, so we're going to Tokyo Tower now." Genta pointed at the thing on the paper that was supposedly Tokyo Tower and said seriously to Mu Tianyuan, while Conan, on the side, rolled his dead-fish eyes and chuckled twice again. Damn it, "according to your deduction" my foot! This was clearly my deduction! Who taught you this habit of stealing credit whenever you open your mouth?! Does Uncle Wang next door know you do this?!

"Oh, you're so amazing, big brother completely can't understand it." Mu Tianyuan pretended to be impressed and nodded. "Alright, whatever you say."

Upon hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, Genta immediately said proudly, "Of course, we're the Detective Boys!"

Conan: "Hehe..."

Mu Tianyuan naturally knew what kind of group these little rascals were. "Detective Boys," translated, wasn't it "Death-Seeking Boys"? But Mu Tianyuan didn't complain. He just smiled and nodded, "Alright, Detective Boys, hurry up and create miracles!"

"Yes!" Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, being children, truly didn't hear any dismissiveness in Mu Tianyuan's words. Instead, they collectively shouted with full confidence. Then, Ayumi looked at Mu Tianyuan and said, "Big brother, do you want to come treasure hunting with us?"

"Uh, I won't go. I still have to go home and do homework." Faced with little loli Ayumi's request to team up and dig for treasure, Mu Tianyuan refused without a second thought. Did they really think he was as free as Kudo? Instead of fooling around with these kids, wouldn't it be better for him to chat with the little fox, or watch the little fox perform a five-minute roasted chicken show for him? Why did he have to play a treasure hunt game based on what clearly looked like a drawing from some elementary school kid?

Upon hearing that Mu Tianyuan had to go home and do homework and couldn't play house with them, Ayumi and the others were a bit disappointed. However, they didn't try to force Mu Tianyuan to go with them, after all, he had homework to do, which was important, right?

Only Conan, on the side, rolled his eyes and looked at Mu Tianyuan with disdain. Damn it, this guy is truly shameless, actually fooling children. "Going home to do homework" my foot. They don't know you, but I do! When have you ever done homework since you started school?!

After sending the little rascals to the train station, Mu Tianyuan took the little fox and leisurely walked towards home. As they walked, Mu Tianyuan said to the little fox, "Remember, from now on, when you see those few bratty kids, stay far away. Those bratty kids are all trouble."

"They're just a few little brats, what's the big deal?" The little fox flicked its tail and replied nonchalantly. Mu Tianyuan, however, said seriously, "No, you don't understand how troublesome those bratty kids are. They're always causing trouble and constantly finding new ways to court death. This isn't just an exaggeration; they genuinely head straight for death. To be honest, if they weren't Conan's attached accessories, they would absolutely be dead. What's more crucial is that they never learn their lesson after courting death each time, and then they find a new way to boldly forge ahead. We don't have their ability to turn every misfortune into a blessing, so it's best to avoid them in the future."

"Bratty kids are all like that," the little fox replied nonchalantly. Mu Tianyuan shook his head and corrected, "No, they're different. They are extremely bratty, practically the pandas of the bratty kid world. They've invented new ways of being bratty."

"Alright, I know. Don't worry, I'm too lazy to bother with those little brats," the little fox said. Seeing Mu Tianyuan emphasize this so seriously, she immediately nodded, indicating that she remembered. Then, the little fox looked at Mu Tianyuan seriously and said, "Oh, right, do you remember the bet we made earlier? Do all the roasted chickens belong to me now?"

"Uh..." Mu Tianyuan was stunned when he heard the little fox's words, then said with a tearful face, "...Can you leave me a chicken leg?"

The little fox chuckled, "No!"
