Zhu Xi Ling Ling's words left Cheng Xiao Fan utterly speechless. Was the classic legend of man and fox about to unfold on him?
"Ling Ling, can you give me some time to consider it?" Cheng Xiao Fan finally found a reason to stall.
Zhu Xi Ling Ling, her charming eyes sparkling, curiously asked, "Isn't it just sleeping together? Such a simple thing, and it needs consideration?"
Seeing her innocent and sweet demeanor, Cheng Xiao Fan didn't know how to explain.
It was clear that Zhu Xi Ling Ling didn't understand these matters.
Thinking of her as a little fox spirit, Cheng Xiao Fan felt he was overthinking.
As she said herself, wasn't it just a simple matter of sleeping together? Why did he need to consider so much?
"Alright, Ling Ling, then we'll sleep together!" With that thought, Cheng Xiao Fan readily agreed.
Zhu Xi Ling Ling, upon hearing this, jumped up excitedly.
She smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Zhu Xi Ling Ling immediately jumped onto the bed.
Cheng Xiao Fan also got into bed.
Zhu Xi Ling Ling said, "Mr. Cheng, can you hold me while we sleep?"
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled, "Of course, I'll hold you as we sleep!"
As soon as he spoke, he drew Zhu Xi Ling Ling into his embrace.
Zhu Xi Ling Ling snuggled further into Cheng Xiao Fan's arms, nuzzling him so intensely that his heart raced. He quickly channeled a bit of spiritual energy into her mind.
Instantly!
The little fox spirit fell asleep in Cheng Xiao Fan's arms.
He then breathed a long sigh of relief and gently moved her aside.
After all, a fox spirit was different from a normal person. Her incredibly alluring body and the seductive aura she exuded were simply too tempting.
For any ordinary man, it would have been unbearable; they would have already taken advantage of her.
The night passed without incident!
Upon waking, Cheng Xiao Fan found that the little fox had also opened her eyes.
"Ling Ling, did you sleep well last night?" Cheng Xiao Fan asked with a slight smile.
Zhu Xi Ling Ling nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Cheng, I slept so soundly! It was much more comfortable than sleeping in a cave."
Cheng Xiao Fan sighed inwardly.
It truly wasn't easy being a fox spirit!
No matter how lively and spirited the fox spirits appeared on television, who knew the hardships they endured behind the scenes!
He reached out and gently patted Zhu Xi Ling Ling, saying, "Ling Ling, when I'm not here, you can stay in my bedroom."
Zhu Xi Ling Ling smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Cheng!"
Going downstairs, Cheng Xiao Fan found Ye Shi San and the others busy in the kitchen.
Kinoe Mieko and Zhu Xi Wang Yue were clearly struggling a bit, their steps unsteady.
Despite this, their faces were beaming with happiness and contentment.
"Mr. Cheng, good morning!"
"Lord Shennong, you're awake!"
Both pairs of newlyweds vied to greet Cheng Xiao Fan.
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled slightly and said, "You're all up earlier than I am!"
The Earth God, with a smile, said, "Lord Shennong, please go and sit in the living room. The brides will be serving you tea shortly!"
"Alright, alright, I'll go and sit in the living room then!"
Cheng Xiao Fan took his usual seat at the head of the table in the living room.
A moment later!
Kinoe Mieko and Zhu Xi Wang Yue emerged.
Each holding a cup of tea, they respectfully approached Cheng Xiao Fan.
The wedding tea was simple: brown sugar water with two red dates steeped in it.
"Please have the wedding tea, Lord Shennong!" Zhu Xi Wang Yue respectfully offered the cup to Cheng Xiao Fan.
Cheng Xiao Fan took the cup, ate the two red dates first, and then drank the tea in one gulp.
Following that, Kinoe Mieko, with a beaming smile, offered her tea: "Mr. Cheng, please have the wedding tea!"
"Certainly, certainly!" Cheng Xiao Fan took the tea, again eating the red dates first, then drinking the tea.
After drinking the wedding tea, Cheng Xiao Fan looked at the two couples and asked, "Do any of you have bank cards?"
The Earth God chuckled, "Replying to Lord Shennong, neither Zhu Xi Wang Yue nor I have such things."
Cheng Xiao Fan knew that one was the Earth God and the other a fox spirit. They didn't even have identification cards in the human world, so having bank cards would be strange indeed.
"Old Earth God, you and Wang Yue can already move around in the human world. You need to have some essential items."
"I'll find someone to help you two get identity cards and register your household in Zhu Xi Village. Then you can open bank accounts."
He then turned to Ye Shi San and Kinoe Mieko, asking, "Do you have them?"
Ye Shi San said with a wry smile, "Replying to Mr. Cheng, I was originally a destitute person. I don't have such things either."
Kinoe Mieko replied, "I have a bank card issued in Sakura Country, and it's valid worldwide!"
Cheng Xiao Fan laughed heartily, "Good. Kinoe Mieko, according to our Zhu Xi Village customs, since you two new brides have served me wedding tea, I must give you a wedding gift."
"It's not a lot, just a token of appreciation!"
"I don't have cash on me. Please give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the wedding gift via mobile banking. You can also receive the money for Zhu Xi Wang Yue. When she gets her bank card, you can transfer it to her then!"
Kinoe Mieko, upon hearing this, quickly exclaimed, "Mr. Cheng, this is not appropriate!"
Cheng Xiao Fan said, "This is our local custom. Just listen to me!"
The Earth God said, "Mieko, this is Lord Shennong's kind gesture. Please give him your card number."
"Alright, I'll give it to Mr. Cheng right away!" Kinoe Mieko said.
She immediately gave her bank card number to Cheng Xiao Fan.
Cheng Xiao Fan took out his phone and immediately transferred the money.
Ding!
Not long after, a text message notification chimed on Kinoe Mieko's phone.
She took out her phone, opened it, and was instantly stunned, her face losing color.
"Ah, two hundred million?"
She blurted out, "Mr. Cheng, why did you transfer so much money?"
"Yes, Lord Shennong, this is too much!" The Earth God was also utterly astonished.
Ye Shi San said, "Mr. Cheng, this is too much, far too much!"
For Ye Shi San, this sum of money was simply astronomical.
Cheng Xiao Fan chuckled, "Two hundred million for the two new couples, one hundred million each. I'm not short on money; it's just a small token!"
"By the way, Old Earth God, from now on, you and Wang Yue won't live in caves in the primeval forest. You, along with Ye Shi San, will live in my bamboo pavilion."
The Earth God smiled and said, "Replying to Lord Shennong, Ye Shi San has already told me that we plan to build two new houses nearby. We'll live here then."
Hearing him say this, Cheng Xiao Fan didn't insist further.
"Mom, I'm going to live in Mr. Cheng's pavilion. He said that when he's not here, I can stay in his bedroom!" At this moment, Zhu Xi Ling Ling said with a beaming smile.
Zhu Xi Wang Yue was filled with delight.
She thought her daughter had found a powerful connection.
Last night, Mr. Cheng must have slept with her daughter.
She couldn't help but say excitedly, "Good, good, good, my daughter, when Mr. Cheng comes to White Python Lake, you must take good care of him!"
"Mmm, I know!" Zhu Xi Ling Ling replied.
Cheng Xiao Fan felt a headache coming on.
What was going on!
It made it seem like I had something going on with the little fox spirit.
Am I wrongly accused or what!
