She could hardly believe that this human in front of her had actually unlocked the iron collar symbolizing her enslavement.
"You..."
"You don't need to be surprised. I never intended to treat you as a slave from the beginning."
Mu Qingqing explained before the fox spirit girl could finish her sentence.
Then, he extended his hand to her again and added a few more words: "I'll give you two choices now. One, you are free now. If you want to leave, I won't restrain you. Two, you can stay with me for a while, and I'll find a way to send you home."
Hearing Mu Qingqing's words, the fox spirit girl was still in a daze.
Why was this human different from the humans she had met before?
She could not forget the evil, contemptuous, and dismissive looks in the eyes of those humans when she was captured.
In their eyes, she was just a valuable commodity, to be traded for profit at will.
But Mu Qingqing in front of her genuinely wanted to save her, so the fox spirit girl pondered for a moment and said, "I choose two."
In fact, she also knew that if she chose one, even if she regained her freedom, she would likely be captured and enslaved by the people of Jingchen Kingdom again before long.
Rather than that, it was better to place her hope on this human in front of her.
After Mu Qingqing chose to take the fox spirit girl with him, he also discussed it with Xin Ci in the consciousness space.
As for Xin Ci, he also had the idea of saving the fox spirit girl, so he approved of Mu Qingqing's decision.
"Qingqing, you don't need to ask for my opinion. You are my second personality. Your decision is naturally my decision." Xin Ci smiled gently.
Mu Qingqing's lips curved into a shallow smile, and she replied playfully, "Is that so? Don't regret it later."
Next, Mu Qingqing, with the fox spirit girl, left Fenghua Pavilion amidst the envious gazes of the sons and daughters of high officials and nobles.
Among the people present, only Lin Ye and Pei Xiu had unusual expressions.
Lin Ye looked at Mu Qingqing's receding figure, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
As for Pei Xiu, her eyes were almost spitting fire as she stared intently at Mu Qingqing.
It was clear that she was still bothered by the matter of the fox spirit slave. She snorted inwardly, "Hmph, detestable Mu Xin Ci, I will steal that little fox tonight. I won't let you harm her!"
After leaving Fenghua Pavilion, Mu Qingqing switched back to his main personality, and the body was once again under Xin Ci's control.
Looking at the fox spirit girl by his side, Xin Ci thought, "The Five Elements Spirit Pill is already in hand, but how can I send this fox spirit girl home?"
Xin Ci squatted down in front of the fox spirit girl and asked, "What is your name?"
Such a direct tone made the fox spirit girl slightly startled.
Strange, the tone of this benefactor just now was clearly not like this, it felt like a different person.
However, the fox spirit girl still answered obediently, "Thank you, big brother, for saving my life. My name is Yue Chujie, and you can call me Ajie."
"Ajie... Why does your name sound so much like a boy's?"
Hearing Xin Ci say her name sounded like a boy's, Yue Chujie immediately became a little unhappy. "Big brother, I am a boy. Isn't it normal for my name to sound like a boy's?"
What the!
"You're a boy!"
"Mhm." Yue Chujie nodded obediently.
What the hell!
Looking at the impossibly delicate, pink, and cute little loli in front of him, Xin Ci and Mu Qingqing could not imagine that this guy was actually a boy!
Mu Qingqing in the consciousness space only then realized that she had not rescued a little loli, but a little shota!
But on second thought, it didn't matter. It was even more interesting. He transmitted his voice to Xin Ci, "Aren't cute boys even better? Xin Ci, how about we temporarily adopt this little shota?"
Adopt!
Upon hearing Mu Qingqing call Yue Chujie a little shota, and coupled with her apparent fondness for Yue Chujie.
Xin Ci's mouth twitched slightly. Could this little male fox spirit that Qingqing saved become my rival later?
No, I have to find a way to send this guy home quickly!
Xin Ci thought to himself.
Just then, angry shouts came from the other end of the street.
"You old man, stop right there!"
"Little girl, it's just a bit of spirit stones. It's not like I'm not going to pay you back. Just let me owe you for now!"
"Owe you my ass, you deadbeat old man who doesn't pay back debts! My Miaoshi Casino will never let you go today!"
...
Xin Ci found the voice somewhat familiar. He turned his head and saw Dao Yuanming being chased by a group of people from Miaoshi Casino.
Especially the woman at the head of the Miaoshi Casino group, her face was full of rage, and she was desperately hitting Dao Yuanming with a broom in her hands.
But Dao Yuanming was, after all, a Saint Emperor realm expert. Being chased by them was probably just for show. Therefore, the woman could never hit Dao Yuanming.
Xin Ci still didn't understand what the dean had done again.
Mu Qingqing in the consciousness space had already covered his face and explained helplessly, "This old gambling addict probably went to the largest casino in Jingchen Kingdom, Miaoshi Casino, to gamble. And from the looks of it, the dean, this old gambling addict, probably lost a lot of money."
Hearing Mu Qingqing's words, Xin Ci also looked speechless at the dean.
No wonder Dao Yuanming disappeared as soon as they got off the ship; he had gone to Miaoshi Casino to gamble.
However, with the dean's abilities, the people from Miaoshi Casino should not be able to catch him, so it was best not to bother him.
Just as he turned his head, he heard Dao Yuanming shout in his direction, "Xin Ci, you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time. Finally, I see hope, hehe."
Dao Yuanming suddenly appeared in front of Xin Ci and, in one swift motion, pushed Xin Ci towards the people from Miaoshi Casino.
Xin Ci: "..."
Damn it, you scumbag old man, you're framing me!
Dao Yuanming's movements were extremely fast, so much so that even the people from Miaoshi Casino who were chasing him didn't react.
Seeing this old gambler who didn't pay back debts push a handsome young man towards them.
The woman leading the Miaoshi Casino group ordered the others to stop.
"What is it, Sister Miaoqing?"
A burly man beside her asked in confusion.
Miao Qing carefully examined Xin Ci and found him to be a good-looking young man.
Since that scumbag old man pushed this young man over, he probably intended for him to pay off his debts.
Coincidentally, her sister had recently moved away all the slaves held in Miaoshi Casino.
Now that Miaoshi Casino had no slaves, this young man could serve as a valuable slave to settle the debt.
"My little brother, are you rushing to speak up for that scumbag old man, perhaps wanting to repay his debt for him?" Miao Qing said with squinted eyes.
Xin Ci felt speechless once again.
Which eye of yours saw me rushing to speak up for the dean? Did you not see that he forcibly pushed me over just now?
Dao Yuanming, who was behind him, did not leave. Instead, he patted Xin Ci's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "Xin Ci, as a disciple of the Four Symbols Academy, it's normal to help the dean when he's in trouble, isn't it?"
