Chapter 1075: 1072: Are You Two Making Secret Deals?!

"What happened?"Ansheng, who was asking Jin Wanlin for a cold cola and getting ready for MVP calculations, turned around with a hint of confusion when Ah Qing called him.

"Look..."

Ah Qing took out the Treasure Mushroom; originally half a meter tall, the mushroom had mysteriously shrunk by twenty centimeters at some point.

"Huh?"

Ansheng was stunned, filled with surprise as he looked at the Treasure Mushroom, which seemed to have shrunk even after being full.

"You... didn't find it dirty and throw it in a pot to boil it vigorously, washing it with salt, did you?"

"Where would I get a frying pan..." Ah Qing pinched the cheek of the little fox that was full of nonsense and said:

"I was just about to put it in the box with the black mushroom when the Treasure Mushroom shuddered and its size suddenly decreased by a large portion..."

Ah Qing told the little fox everything that had just happened in detail.

"Take some pictures of it, later when we return to Xia Dong, I'll help you find an expert to ask."

Ansheng walked around the Treasure Mushroom, inspecting it with the Power of Will, but found nothing.

Or rather, just scanning the Treasure Mushroom with the Power of Will, you can't see it at all.

In the investigation using the Power of Will, the Treasure Mushroom is completely non-existent, as if it naturally possesses some counter-detection capabilities.

However.

Ansheng wasn't too worried, although the Treasure Mushroom didn't come with a manual when it was born, isn't Sun Xingyao, that troublesome girl, a living manual herself?

With the interaction they've had, Ansheng has already established a preliminary trust with her.

He can confidently bring her over to serve as a teacher for Ah Qing's Power of Will and awakening.

"It's still early, do you have any attractions you want to visit? Let's go together?" Ansheng patted the Treasure Mushroom, ensuring it wouldn't suddenly strike, and then looked at Ah Qing.

Rarely traveling abroad, the macaques were still taking inventory of the Crab-eating Macaque's accumulated wealth.

Ansheng turned to Ah Qing to see if there were any attractions in Luzon she wanted to visit...

"Hmm... seems like not." Ah Qing thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Besides, it's not very safe here."

Being a native coastal person, the so-called sea scenery of Luzon wasn't very appealing to Ah Qing, and there were no particular attractions she wanted to visit.

Moreover, since guns weren't banned here, Ah Qing naturally had some fear of areas where gun possession was legal.

"But..."

"If you have any attractions in mind..." Ah Qing squatted down, raised her hand, poking the little fox's nose, her face full of inquiry:

"That certain someone just has to properly fix you today, how could you not tell me about Huhu uprooting the willow tree..."

Ah Qing mimicked the little fox's tone, picking it up and looking at its little face.

"It's just a friend's compliment..." Ansheng waved his hand, his expression suggesting the tree uprooting was only possible because Brother Tree allowed it.

"I don't believe it! You better transform quickly—" Ah Qing leaned in to nibble on the little fox's ear:

"All the time, you've been riding on me, now hurry up, change into a big fox and let me ride you!"

"Eek~" Ansheng shrugged, letting Ah Qing press her upper body against him, making a soft whimper:

"I advise you not to think like that, you see, usually I don't even have shoes, my feet are dirty, you need to help me wash my paw pads..."

"If you come pressing down again, then my paw pads have to bear the weight, right? Bearing weight would cause friction and naturally form calluses."

"By then, the fox's paw pads will be hard, and you wouldn't want a 'swoosh swoosh' sound when I rub your face, right?"

Hearing this, Ah Qing rolled her eyes, knowing this mischievous fox was tricking her again.

Yet she was at a loss for arguments to counter the little fox's twisted reasoning.

...

After completing the task of subduing the Crab-eating Macaque, Ansheng no longer paid attention to the Treasure Mushroom and black mushroom.

Before returning, he just followed Ah Qing, strolling and playing in the forest.

And at Ah Qing's request, he developed a set of new greeting "moves" specifically for her.

"Hehe... I'll flaunt this in the group tonight." Ah Qing sat on the Ground Effect Vehicle, looking at a short video playing on her phone, laughing.

In the phone video.

Ah Qing opened her arms, striking a welcoming pose, while the little fox three meters in front responded to the call.

The little fox relied on its robust Physique, spiraling up along Ah Qing's pant leg.

Climbing from the calf, circling around, and landing securely on her shoulder, the fox's head was raised slightly facing forward.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kick your pants off?" Ansheng lay on Ah Qing's shoulder, full of black lines as he teased.

Relying solely on Physique strength, it's impossible to complete this move.

Climbing requires footholds; a twenty-pound fox gripping pant legs to climb, even if Ah Qing's pants had a belt, it likely couldn't withstand the pressure.

Only utilizing the Power of Will could Ansheng complete this move with Ah Qing.

"Doesn't this show that I trust you?" Ah Qing said confidently, glancing at the phone screen from time to time.

Her phone card wasn't set up for roaming, so it had no service after going abroad.

Otherwise, Ah Qing would have long sent the video to the group to show off to her girlfriends.

She had developed a new function for the fox.

As the Ground Effect Vehicle moved back into a mobile signal area,

Ah Qing's phone suddenly received a flood of messages on WeChat.

Momo: [Ding ding ding... where are you two? Why can't I reach your phone or get a reply on WeChat???]

[My New Year's gift for the fox has arrived, where are you? The package is at your doorstep and the courier said the village geese pecked at him, adding a two hundred surcharge...]

[There are dogs...]

[By the way, when sending the package, the master put my Enchanting Demon Self-Use Tools in as well, send them back to me, I might need them to slap someone in a few days.]

[There's a foreign girl, and it costs more with her...]

Messages from Momo kept refreshing on Ah Qing's phone screen.

For over ten minutes, all the messages were asking if Ah Qing was around, mentioning the delivery guy chased by geese for two streets, and on the way back, chased by dogs, and then scared by a giant bird girl.

Then, a pack of big doggies came and dismantled the four tires of his cargo van and took off the license plate...

All told, according to the courier's account, the additional freight charge would be at least three thousand.

"Uh... Momo said, someone sent you a present." Ah Qing looked at the little fox, perplexed:

"When did this happen? Were you secretly making some underhanded deals with Momo without telling me?"

"A present? My computer arrived?" Ansheng asked, full of surprise.
