Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Bai Tao's eldest niece is named Bai Wanjun. Although her name is elegant and her appearance normal, she is truly annoying in private.

As the eldest niece pretended to cry, tails started popping out one after another behind her with a "whoosh whoosh."

Soon, the tails, like a big ball of tumbleweed, tangled together, swaying back and forth, back and forth in front of Bai Tao...

The simplest way to distinguish a fox demon's cultivation talent is by the number of tails they show when they're ruffled—the more, the better.

The eldest niece was obviously a formidable fox. She skillfully wielded her six tails while clinging to Bai Tao's leg, controlling her tails with spiritual qi, and the fur started falling off with a "swoosh."

For a moment, snowflakes flew about, and the scene was bleak.

The Thousand Mechanism point machine in the private room, under her control, started playing a popular tune from Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls~

The world is vast and desolate~

Whether or not it was truly desolate was another matter, but the floating fox fur everywhere made Bai Tao sneeze continuously. She really wanted to push Bai Wanjun away but found she couldn't muster the strength.

The gap in cultivation level was too wide. Bai Wanjun's Nascent Soul cultivation left Bai Tao helpless as she clung on and made a fuss.

"Auntie, when we were leaving, the boss said you should take care of me..." Bai Wanjun rubbed her face against Bai Tao's calf.

"You wish! The boss clearly said not to give you a single cent! And put your fur away first, I'm allergic!"

"I won't! Auntie, please, just a little, just a bit more, this is the last time..."

"No way!"

Utterly defeated by the annoyance, Bai Tao murmured a spell under her breath, and as the words became law, a fox mask flew out from her sleeve.

Seeing the mask, Bai Wanjun shivered, but before she could escape, the fox mask slapped down on her face with a smack.

"Auntie, no, no, I'm wrong..."

"Begging won't work; the boss said if you keep spending recklessly, this will be used to handle you!"

As Bai Tao formed a Taoist technique with her hand and chanted a spell, the fox mask on Bai Wanjun's face began to tighten.

The eldest niece cried out in pain and rolled around on the ground.

There was even more fox fur in the room.

Bai Tao's nose became more uncomfortable.

"Collect your fur!"

"It hurts, it hurts, stop chanting first!"

After a tense and exciting tug-of-war, both fox spirits were exhausted and finally gave up the confrontation.

When Bai Tao retrieved the mask, Bai Wanjun also kept her word. She wagged her tail, and soon all the fox fur in the room was retracted back into her tail.

She stood up, turned around, and the tails behind Bai Wanjun disappeared again.

Looking at her niece, who resembled her greatly but was much older, Bai Tao felt utterly tired.

She wasn't like this before!

In Bai Tao's childhood memories, her eldest niece Bai Wanjun was light, electricity, the only legend.

She was the faith of her childhood, the guiding light for her future.

In the few times they met, she was always struck by Bai Wanjun's noble and aloof demeanor.

She often mimicked her literary girl's persona.

This eldest niece was also one of the reasons she joined Zhendong Trading Company.

Zhendong Trading Company, a long-established enterprise in the Four Continents, although it has been passed down for millennia, still maintains the youthful vitality of its early days, and positions in the company are not determined by family ties.

So despite Bai Tao's ridiculously high seniority, joining the company meant starting from the bottom without any special treatment.

After meeting Zhang Ze, her career unexpectedly improved, moving from store clerk to business runner.

Upon learning that Bai Wanjun, whom she had idolized since childhood, would accompany her on this business trip to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, Bai Tao was so excited she couldn't sleep.

Only... it was supposed to be her first important assignment, her first time learning from her childhood idol, two joyous events perfectly coinciding, bringing dreamlike happiness... But why did things turn out this way in the end?

Bai Tao sneezed, looking at Bai Wanjun sitting on the sofa, eagerly watching the auction, feeling very sad.

The past few days of traveling together had revealed to her the true nature of her eldest niece.

Cold and distant demeanor, just for business.

In essence, she's a fool who spends money like water.

So foolish that she cultivated her own tail fur into a lifebound magical artifact...

At the start of the trip, the mistress, also known as the boss by Bai Tao and Bai Wanjun, privately instructed Bai Tao not to entrust the business money to Bai Wanjun and told her to use this mask if she acted recklessly.

Initially, Bai Tao didn't take it seriously and was soon deceived by the false facade of her eldest niece, naturally lending her saved-up money under Bai Wanjun's flattering words.

And then the money was gone.

This woman has no limit to her spending, belonging to the type that spends however much she has.

Of course, Bai Wanjun can also make a lot of money; her business acumen and foresight are undeniable, otherwise, she wouldn't hold a key position in Zhendong Trading Company.

But no amount of earning can keep up with her spending, especially when she finishes her own money and loves spending others'.

This woman's spending, personal enjoyment, and fulfilling curiosity are just one aspect.

Moreover, eating and drinking enjoyment doesn't actually cost that much.
