Fox Has No Malicious Intent

"Sob sob sob..."

The little fox sat on the back seat reserved for pets, looking longingly back at the Celestial Empress Palace, saying goodbye to it.

The wishing at the Celestial Empress Palace...

All were civilized and polite, with every wish accompanied by a home address and contact information.

With detailed addresses and contact information, Ansheng felt she could do something about it, transforming into the Moonlight Ding-Dong Fox.

Meanwhile, Yu Xueqing was sitting in the passenger seat, communicating with Chen Zhiyu on the other end.

"Oh oh oh... Once you reach the Hailong Reservoir, you'll see several white houses, located there, right? I'll call Sister Zhiyu once I get there later."

Yu Xueqing looked enlightened, placed her phone on the car holder, and directed Mo Yiqing:

"I just asked my sister, and she said the restaurant there is reservation-only, mainly aimed at corporate business receptions."

"Understood... Basically, eating things you're not supposed to eat." Mo Yiqing nodded lightly, indicating understanding.

Hearing the keywords reservation-only and business reception, Mo Yiqing immediately understood the setup.

In simple terms, it's a private club, and those who can go there to spend are usually friends brought by friends; there might also be some flashy activities, or maybe something illegal to eat.

However, Mo Yiqing was not particularly bothered, as they were going there for a proper meal, without any of the flashy stuff.

Mo Yiqing looked at the navigation map display and drove straight to the Hailong Reservoir, over thirty kilometers away.

Upon arriving at the destination, Yu Xueqing called Chen Zhiyu.

Shortly after, Chen Zhiyu appeared on the road, raised her hand, and waved to Yu Xueqing, saying, "Over here, Ah Qing!"

Chen Zhiyu guided Mo Yiqing to turn into the fork leading to the reservoir and into a parking lot.

"It's been a few days since we last met."

Chen Zhiyu smiled at Yu Xueqing, her gaze lingering slightly on the little fox. Ansheng nodded politely to Chen Zhiyu and whimpered in response.

"Sister Zhiyu, look, Xiaolan still remembers you." Yu Xueqing beamed as she lifted the little fox and introduced her friend to Chen Zhiyu:

"This is Momo, Mo Yiqing, my classmate and a very good roommate. This is Sister Zhiyu, whose family runs the Pet Paradise and pet breeding business, with many kinds of adorable little animals."

"Hello."

Mo Yiqing nodded lightly, discreetly greeting Chen Zhiyu, without the previous casual chatter.

"Truly a beautiful girl." Chen Zhiyu was slightly taken aback seeing Mo Yiqing. She, having trained over mountains for years and built a solid body, had friends joke that she resembled the leopard woman from LOL.

However, upon seeing Mo Yiqing, with her wasp waist hidden under a trench coat and the faint lines on her fair skin, Chen Zhiyu couldn't help but marvel.

Maintaining such a figure takes more than just fitness; it requires substantial investment.

"Come here! I've already said hello. Except for the audio room over there, you can visit other parts of this Ecological Park."

Chen Zhiyu led the two to several low houses with sharp-edged roofs, with a few white houses arranged in a diagonal line around a small courtyard.

The wide gutter edges on the sharp-edged roofs formed a structure, presumably featuring some water landscape installation, resembling a feng shui setup.

"Is this... the Ecological Park?"

Chen Zhiyu's introduction left the local Yu Xueqing stunned.

Does our Jiule City... have such a scenic spot?

"It's understandable you don't know. This Ecological Park has no attractions; its primary purpose is to preserve some endangered tree species, so to non-botany enthusiasts, it's just a mountainous area."

"There's nothing worth sightseeing, and the only restaurant worth visiting rarely opens more than a few times a month due to high prices."

Leading the way, Chen Zhiyu couldn't resist complaining about the park's restaurant.

"How can a place barely open a few times a month make a profit?" Yu Xueqing was taken aback by the remark, as Chen Zhiyu's explanation touched on an area unfamiliar to her, leaving her puzzled.

"Owning a place doesn't always mean making cash profits. The boss here is likely a big entrepreneur; this restaurant is obviously for entertaining friends and business associates."

Mo Yiqing swept her eyes over the room's furnishings and said.

Reservation-only private clubs are mostly built by the wealthy to entertain friends and business partners, usually not open to the public.

Some create unique attractions and open to the public, trying to recoup operational costs.

Such private clubs are quite prevalent in Mo Yiqing's home Xia Nan region, where reaching some abandoned docks or desolate mountains, you'd find building clusters, and once inside, you could sit and wait for a meal.

The influence of the fancy activities from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan is also evident in the Xia Nan and Xia Dong areas, giving Mo Yiqing a curious sense of being at home at the Ecological Park's restaurant.

"Hmm... what you said makes sense. This place truly came about thanks to some wealthy and leisure individuals who happened to have land and stumbled onto a brilliant idea, leading to the creation of an audio museum and the 'Jiule Energy Group' chairman's collection museum."

Chen Zhiyu confirmed Mo Yiqing's words with a laugh, adding, "Many of this restaurant's treasures aren't for sale; they're just there to tempt people."

"Look! Over there, in the temperature-controlled box on the wall under the light, the yellow croaker fish maw was auctioned off by Uncle Lin for over four million a few years ago."

"It's not placed there for its aesthetics but because Uncle Lin bought it to tempt someone, a very mischievous setup."

Ansheng glanced sideways, his eye twitching slightly, seeing a fish maw akin to the yellow-lipped fish from a past life; indeed, its primary function was as a decorative piece.

Spending millions on something, who could just eat it on a whim?

But purchasing it as an art piece made sense.

"Hmm? Sister Zhiyu, do you know the boss here?"

Listening to Chen Zhiyu, while Yu Xueqing's mind was overwhelmed with the rich's powers, she managed to pick up on some of the implications in Sister Zhiyu's words.

"The mountain delicacies here are from our village; it's not about knowing or not knowing them."

Chen Zhiyu pushed open the restaurant door and looked at Yu Xueqing and Mo Yiqing, saying:

"I've already discussed this with them inside. The ingredients for Fo Tiao Qiang vary, and so do the prices. You can choose the ingredients you want later in the dry goods area, but pets are prohibited from entering there... I can watch Xiaolan for you for now?"

Chen Zhiyu briefly discussed the restaurant's conditions, her eyes glancing at the little fox in Yu Xueqing's arms.

Her eyes sparkled, seemingly holding back some words, giving Ansheng a knowing look.

Master Fox....

A living Master Fox!

Don't fall for that bad woman's tricks!

Lin Ying that woman... doesn't have good intentions!
