Chapter 1419: Rifts
"It snuck inside the greenhouse," replied Mo Qiang. She handed the little fox to Yin Fu who tentatively took it. He had no idea how to deal with the thing in his arms. He could raise a child but a rare fox? He could not!
What was more, he had heard some rumours about this thing, which made him nervous. What was this? Where did his wife get this thing from? He wanted to question his wife but before he could do that, he saw Mo Qiang heading to the bathing room.
Seeing that she was gone to take a bath, Yin Fu could only bring the little fox with him to the kitchen.
While Yin Fu was looking for something to feed the little fox, Mo Qiang stripped off her clothes and took a dip in the bathing tub. The warm water eased her tensed nerves and she released a sigh of relief. The entire day she had been working in the greenhouse and had to squat on the ground to sow the seeds that she had collected.
The calves of her legs were now shaking.
However, before she could even enjoy the warm soak, there was a loud yell followed by a bang. Startled, Mo Qiang jumped out of the bed and wrapped her body with a towel before rushing to the kitchen. She looked at the mer who was staring at something in shock and questioned, "What's wrong? Why are you screaming?"
"That—that fox…" Yin Fu pointed at the little fox on the floor and Mo Qiang turned to look at her as well.
What she saw made her nearly pass out. The little fox had actually eaten a vat full of fish and did not even leave a bone behind. It was as if the vat was empty from the beginning.
How did this happen?
Mo Qiang pursed her lips with a frown.
"I did tell you," Xiao An, who had gone offline, could not return when he saw that Mo Qiang had finally gotten into trouble with the little cub. He curled his lips and taunted, "I told you that these things can grow really fast and they need a lot of food for it. They can eat more than five hundred kilograms of meat in a day if they are given access to it. Do you think you get so much meat in a day?"
As soon as he finished speaking Mo Qiang was stunned. She looked at the little thing that was still tilting its head cutely and pursed her lips. It seemed like she was the one who made too much trouble.
She blinked her eyes and then apologised to Xiao An, "I am really sorry. I didn't know that it would be like this."
"Humph, since you have apologised, I will begrudgingly forgive you."
Though Xiao An forgave her, Wen Gui didn't. When he found out that the fish in the vat were eaten by the pearly fox, he was so angry that he blew his top. He pointed at Mo Qiang and scolded her bloody. They did have a lot of food stocked up but with the war on their head and everything going awry, they needed to think things through.
How could Mo Qiang do such a thing as bringing the pearly fox home? Was she trying to make them bankrupt!?
The more Wen Gui spoke, the angrier he became; in the end, Mo Qiang was scolded to the point that she had no choice but to lower her head and promise that she was going to send the little fox away.
Only then did the scoldings stop.
Mo Qiang was only given the time to change her clothes and after that she was not even allowed to drink water. She was kicked out of the house right away, along with the little cub.
She looked down at the whimpering thing and sighed. "It seems like you and I are in a lot of trouble, little one."
The little fox didn't understand what Mo Qiang was saying to her; she simply waved her paw and smiled cheekily at Mo Qiang.
Looking at the cheeky look in the eye of the little fox, Mo Qiang shook her head. She pulled the fox along with her to the small rift in the small forest that was not far from where she lived.
Ever since Mo Qiang started healing this world, the situation around the dimensions started to change and some dimensions even ended up getting combined. This small forest was the same; it ended up being connected to another dimension because of this a lot of creatures snuck out of the rift, which was still healing and headed down to where the Mo family lived.
"Alright," Mo Qiang crouched down and placed the little fox on the ground.
She patted the little thing on the head and then said to her, "You need to go back to your family now. I am sure that they must be looking for you."
Mew?
The little fox turned her head to one side and Mo Qiang's heart was immediately struck by an arrow but when she thought about the two angry mers at home, she could only send the little fox away.
Of course, the little fox didn't want to go. She continued to stare at Mo Qiang with a tearful gaze, which more or less shook Mo Qiang's determination but in the end, Mo Qiang sighed and took out a bag of fish from her space ring and handed it to the little fox. She said to her, "Now, you need to go back and share these good things with your family, alright? We will meet again if there is fate."
Though she knew that the little fox could not understand it, she still spoke soothingly to her and waited for it to comfort it. The little fox finally understood that it had to go back home and turned to leave.
So, when Mo Qiang got to her feet, she thought that she might not see the little one for a long time. However, three days later she realised that she was really wrong!
