Fanjia could calculate others’ karma, but he generally refrained from using this skill.

In Buddhism, he could be considered a deviant.

He didn’t like to help people find good fortune, avoided divining fortune, and wasn’t interested in amassing good karma or followers.

His only duty was to save evil spirits.

When the fox demon stood before him earlier, he couldn’t help but divine his fate.

Although the vision was unclear, he sensed a gathering malevolent aura around the fox demon.

Fanjia secretly observed Bai Lixin.

Even though he avoided divining fate for others, it didn’t mean he couldn’t do it well. On the contrary, his divination skills were exceptional; others could only see immediate events, but he could see a person’s entire life without error.

But what happened when it came to this little fox demon?

In theory, fate and karma should only be blurred when divining for oneself or loved ones. But he shouldn’t have any connection with this fox, right?

Fanjia couldn’t understand, but he didn’t dwell on it further, and continued his chanting.

Bai Lixin wasn’t annoyed when he saw Fanjia deeply engrossed in his prayers. He sat on a cushion, quietly surveying the room.

It was a meditation room with three cushions on the floor and an altar in front of them.

On the altar, there was only a lotus pedestal, but no golden statue.

Quite peculiar.

The meditation room wasn’t large. Aside from the three cushions on the floor, there was a scarlet chair placed nearby.

Fanjia’s staff, which he never left, was leaning against the chair. It stood there motionless.

Seeing Fanjia so focused, Bai Lixin didn’t disturb him further. Instead, he stood up and approached the staff.

As he drew closer, the staff, which had been quietly resting against the chair, suddenly moved.

It swayed left and right briefly, then slowly lifted itself from the chair’s edge.

The movement was so slow and silent, as if it feared disturbing Fanjia’s meditation.

Bai Lixin was surprised by the staff’s actions.

Its earlier movement was akin to a child sneaking out of bed when their parents weren’t looking.

Bai Lixin shook his head in amusement, amused by his strange imagination.

As he approached the staff, Bai Lixin saw it swaying slightly from side to side, as if greeting him. He gently touched the staff’s cold metal body and stroked the rings on the top like calming a child.

The rings swayed a few times in the air due to his touch, emitting a faint metallic collision sound.

Bai Lixin’s fingers suddenly paused, and he discreetly glanced at Fanjia, who was meditating seriously.

After confirming that Fanjia showed no sign of looking in his direction, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He made a silent “shush” gesture toward the staff.

He gingerly picked up the staff. He didn’t know if it was made of special material or for some other reason, but he had always felt that the staff was quite heavy. However, when he picked it up last time, it could only be described as “light as a feather.”

As if it didn’t exist at all.

Bai Lixin gently lifted the staff and tiptoed out of the meditation room.

After Bai Lixin left, Fanjia slowly opened his eyes, casting a glance behind him.

The image of Bai Lixin interacting with the staff replayed in his mind. He sighed softly, a wry smile on his face, and resumed his meditation.

Bai Lixin let out a long breath after leaving the meditation room, then complained to the staff next to him, “Your master is really wooden. I think he should just dedicate himself to Buddhism and not bother with marrying anyone.”

The staff swayed a few times, making a crisp clanging sound.

–—The master is a monk, he won’t marry anyone anyway.

After Bai Lixin finished his complaint, he began to explore the small temple.

It couldn’t be called cramped; it appeared small, but everything was neatly arranged in its designated place.

Bai Lixin entered the study. Inside, there was only a desk and a chair, not even a sutra. He wondered why this desk was here. Soon, he left the room, which he could see the end of at a glance, and arrived at the monk’s bedroom.

The bedroom was also narrow. A not-so-large bed was placed against the wall, with a neatly folded gray-blue quilt at the foot of the bed.

Bai Lixin sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly overwhelmed by drowsiness. He leaned on the staff and tried to dispel it, but for some reason, the drowsiness came on fast and strong.

He struggled to keep his eyes open, but his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how hard he tried, he could not lift them.

Yawning, Bai Lixin kicked off his shoes, rolled onto the bed with the staff and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but he was suddenly awakened by a crisp ringing sound.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze and as he raised his hand, he was tickled by a furry sensation.

The sleepiness vanished instantly. Bai Lixin abruptly opened his eyes and realized his clothes were scattered on the bed. The bed, which had seemed small to him, now appeared enormous.

He glanced down at his hands. They had turned into furry red claws.

Bai Lixin blinked in confusion. “?”

Was God playing a joke on him?

He had planned to use the beauty trap tonight, and now he had turned into a fox?

‘If you don’t want people to date, couldn’t you just say it outright? There’s no need for such a cheap trick!

Pah!

I despise you!’

The ringing of the bell rang out again. The sound was very close, as if right beside him.

Turning in a circle, Bai Lixin didn’t find the bell anywhere, but he heard the bell ringing repeatedly.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. He slowly raised his paw and touched his neck.

There was an extra bell on his previously clean neck.

A bell?

Who put it there? Fanjia?

But it didn’t seem like it.

But there shouldn’t be a third person in this place besides Fanjia, right?

Wait, there was no third person, but wasn’t there a third staff?

The fiery red fox suddenly froze, his gaze quickly scanning the bed.

Sure enough, the staff was gone!

The staff disappeared, but there was an extra bell around his neck…

‘This can’t be, can it? Did I put Fanjia’s staff around my neck?!’

In the live broadcast room

[Ahhh, the little fox’s spinning movement just now was so cute! It’s incredibly adorable. I love it.]

[Hahaha, but it seems like God Xin is questioning life.]

[If I hadn’t seen God Xin turn into a little fox and the staff turn into a bell with my own eyes, I really wouldn’t be able to connect this fluffy little fox with God Xin. It’s too contrasting and cute!]

[Treasure this moment; this might be the first and last time we see God Xin in animal form. Thanks to the cooy, we got to witness it.]

[Haha, believe it or not, God Xin must be cursing the copy in his heart right now. What was originally a well-thought-out plan with the beauty trap has completely failed.]

[Hahaha, indeed, one moment I’m feeling sorry for God Xin, but I can’t help but continue laughing in the next.]

[God Xin: Thank you so much.]

———————————-

While Fanjia was chanting in the meditation room, he suddenly heard a hurried ringing sound behind him.

He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a fiery red fox appearing in front of him.

It sat in front of him, its two furry tails swaying from side to side, and its crystal-clear eyes looked at him pitifully, a particularly aggrieved expression on its face.

Fanjia was stunned for two seconds. “What’s wrong?”

Bright red fur resembling burning flames, the fox whimpered at Fanjia, extending its short paws to shake the bell on its neck and pointing to the chair beside it. “Awoo-Awoo.”

‘I, I, I turned your staff into a bell, wuuu, I didn’t mean to.’

Fanjia reached out and took the bell in his hand, then glanced at the chair beside him.

In an instant, he realized what had happened.

Fanjia stroked the bell in disbelief. Although its appearance had changed, he could easily discern that this was his staff by the texture and the familiar spiritual power.

Fanjia’s breath suddenly caught in his throat.

This… the staff had betrayed him?

What charm did this fox demon have to make you willingly become a fox’s bell!

“Aw, ow!” In Fanjia’s absent-mindedness, he felt his hand being held by the furry paws. He raised his head dazedly and saw the little fox in front of him gripping his hand, swaying it left and right.

It seemed like it wanted to shake his hand, but his hand was too stable, resulting in the entire body of the red fox swaying along with it.

Its two large tails trembled in the air, resembling numerous dandelions dancing in the sky.

It held his hand and whined pitifully, making coquettish sounds while gesturing toward the adjacent bedroom.

Fanjia’s deep eyes dimmed slightly.

This was too cute!

Fanjia took a deep breath and said, “Do you want me to change you back?”

The little fox immediately nodded vigorously. When it nodded, its pointed ears brushed against Fanjia’s arm, and the pointed ears twitched several times involuntarily.

Fanjia’s breath hitched. “I’ll try.”

With that, he withdrew his hand from the fox’s furry paws, brought his index and middle fingers together and pressed them against the fox’s forehead.

A golden light appeared at Fanjia’s fingertips.

The golden light lasted for a while, and then Fanjia withdrew his hand. He had a. apologetic tone he wouldn’t normally use, “I’m sorry, it seems like it’s not working.”

“I seem to only be able to transform you from human form to fox, but to change you from fox to human, it might require your own effort.”

“What did you do just now? How did you suddenly transform from human form to fox?”

The little fox couldn’t speak human language, so it continued to whimper, gesturing toward the nearby bedroom.

At this moment, Bai Lixin was in utter misery.

Had he turned into a fox because he secretly took the staff and even slept while hugging it, so he suffered some sort of backlash?

If he had known, he wouldn’t have taken the staff secretly.

Why was he so curious?

This was a spiritual staff, there must be many Buddhist scriptures and incantations inscribed on it. Was this something a fox demon like him could touch?

Not only did he touch it, but he also slept while hugging it.

Probably all the demons in the world combined wouldn’t be as audacious as him.

Now the staff had turned into a bell; it must be something like a demon-sealing tower mentioned in novels. Now it had trapped him, preventing him from reverting to human form.

Thinking of this, Bai Lixin felt extremely aggrieved.

He cast a pitiful glance at Fanjia in front of him, then crawled into his arms using both hands and feet, and then both paws began to scratch at the bell around his neck.

However, the bell seemed to have grown onto his neck. No matter how he scratched, it remained unmoved.

The thick monk’s robe couldn’t stop the warm and fluffy sensation from the fox’s fur. Fanjia lowered his head to look at the fox’s movements, silently placing his hand on its constantly moving paw. “Don’t take it off. It can’t be removed. The staff is a divine tool; it chose to wrap itself around you as a bell, which means it likes you.”

“You wear it,” watching the fox’s distressed appearance, Fanjia thought for a moment before comforting it seriously, “It suits you to wear it.”

The little fox: “…”

‘I don’t want to hear that.’

Because of this incident, Fanjia lost interest in meditating.

He stood up slowly, cradling the fox in his arms, and walked to the adjoining bedroom.

Upon entering, he saw the pile of clothes on the bed.

“Were you sleeping on the bed just now?”

The little fox in his arms nodded vigorously, then angrily let out an “Ahwoo.”

Seeing the fox’s bristling fur, Fanjia couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle. He gently placed the little fox on the bed and said softly, “Didn’t you transform into human form before? Think carefully about how it felt when you transformed back then.”

Bai Lixin: “…”

What feeling?

The first time, he was searching for clues and desperately wished to become human, so he transformed.

What about the second time?

The second time, he wanted to seduce Dijia. But halfway through, Dijia stopped him, forcibly turning him back into a fox. When he woke up, he was in human form again.

This was the third time.

No, the third time hadn’t started yet.

Bai Lixin took a deep breath, repeating in his mind, ‘I want to become human, I want to become human.’

He silently repeated this phrase for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. During this time, Fanjia stood silently by the bed, waiting without any sign of impatience.

It wasn’t until the little fox on the bed gasped for breath and fell back, exposing its white belly as it lay on the bed, that Fanjia slowly spoke, “If you can’t transform now, just let it be. Go with the flow. When the opportunity comes, you’ll naturally transform into a fox. You just cultivated into a human form, it’s natural to be unfamiliar. Don’t blame yourself too much.”

As Fanjia spoke, his eyes fell on the little fox’s exposed belly in front of him.

The fiery red fur extended to the belly and stopped, following the shallow contour downwards, revealing a faint pinkish-white belly.

On the belly, there were two small red dots.

Further down was…

Fanjia quietly turned his head away.

In the live broadcast room

[Fuck, what did I just see? Can I really watch this? Should I top up some money, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease watching this scene.]

[Hahaha, I think the system has a bug. So the system doesn’t block animals’ privacy?]

[So cute, (*/ω\*), move your hand away, continue watching.]

[God Xin has sacrificed too much for this copy.]

[Bold monk, why don’t you cover our God Xin with a blanket? So blind! Don’t you know you should protect the little fox’s white belly?]

[I not only want to see this but also want to see the fox sitting on a lotus.]

[Hehe, the car door is locked, prepare to depart. Attention, passengers, this is a high-speed train bound for spring.]

[I’ll be the examiner below, “Locked,” “Departure,” “Spring,” “High-speed train.”]

——————————–

Bai Lixin flipped onto his back for a few seconds, suddenly thought of something and quickly turned over and hid his belly beneath his body.

[Damn it, my lifelong innocence! Does the live broadcast room not block animals?]

Escape System: [Master Bai Lixin, just as you guessed, the live broadcast room only blocks humans and humanoids, animals are not blocked.]

The fox lay weakly on the bed, sighing, [I’m probably trending on the forums right now.]

S419M: [Lord Host, show your usual confidence and remove “probably.”]

Bai Lixin: […]

‘You two were sent down by God to make me angry!’

Just as Bai Lixin was feeling helpless, the bell outside the door rang again.

Fanjia walked out upon hearing the sound, and Bai Lixin quickly jumped off the bed. After taking a few steps, he remembered his two large tails.

He stopped and shook his two tails, and they instantly merged into one.

Although he couldn’t transform into a human, he found it easier to control his body in beast form.

Perhaps it’s because this character was originally a beast?

If he had two tails, it would be obvious that he is a demon. Now, with only one tail, he looked like an ordinary fox.

Even though he knew Fanjia probably wouldn’t mind, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Running on four legs was faster. The little fox hurried after Fanjia on all fours.

By this time, Fanjia had already opened the door. When Bai Lixin saw the people outside, he was momentarily stunned.

Outside stood three men, with the white-haired and white-robed man in the lead. Behind him were two Daoists dressed in Daoist robes.
