Chapter 19: Protecting the Young Master

Our relationship wasn’t just an employment one, but also a rough partnership, so when Wen Ye heard that I was going shopping, although he looked impatient, he still followed me out.

It’s just that this guy was dressed like a “village elder”—a slightly short white T-shirt on top, sloppy baggy shorts on the bottom, and the special slippers from Northern bathhouses on his feet. His long, ink-black hair was casually tied up with my hair tie.

Wen Ye also walked a bit wobbly, and I couldn’t help but want to support him, but he didn’t appreciate it, glaring at me every time and shaking off my hand.

With him walking as slow as an old lady with a cane, I really wanted to turn him back into a fox and just put a leash on him.

Then I thought that some shopping malls don’t allow pets and check for dog licenses, so I could only settle for now.

Wen Ye’s appearance and height were so outstanding that people ignored his clothes and strange behavior. Everywhere he went, he caused a bunch of girls to whisper, and the infatuated smiles on their faces couldn’t be hidden.

Tch, a fox spirit is indeed worthy of the name.

After buying him clothes, shoes, and a cell phone, I originally wanted to try on a few more pieces, but when I came out of the fitting room, good heavens!

—There were five or six girls surrounding Wen Ye in the waiting area. Judging by their ages, they were high school students. Three of them wore makeup, dressed skimpily, and were more developed than me.

They called “little brother” and “little brother” so sweetly, and took out their phones, asking Wen Ye for contact information. Some even took pictures openly, and two even pressed their bodies against him.

Could I tolerate this?

“What are you doing! Put down your phones!” I walked over and shouted.

The high school girls were startled. Seeing me, they quickly straightened their backs with a smug look. “Who are you! Mind your own business!”

I stood in front of Wen Ye, looking at these little brats with my chin raised, protecting him. “He’s my young master. You can’t harass him!”

“Oh, so she’s a nanny. Nanny auntie should stay home and do laundry, cook, and clean. What are you doing out shopping!”

“Would a young master accompany a nanny shopping? Who are you kidding! Or are you playing role-playing? Besides, is asking for contact information harassment?” The high school girl who was dressed skimpily, revealing a large expanse of her chest, said arrogantly.

Damn it, you dare call me auntie! Then don’t blame auntie for teaching you a lesson for your parents!

I rolled up my sleeves, put my hands on my hips, and sneered: “You’ve already pressed your bodies against him, and you say you haven’t harassed him! You’re not studying properly at such a young age, only thinking about being in relationships and chasing celebrities! Do you have too little homework, or did your parents’ money come from thin air! You even know what ‘騷’ means. It seems you usually watch a lot of porn. You’re all so horny!”

“Can’t you see that my young master is too lazy to pay attention to you! You still came over to take pictures! Didn’t your parents teach you to respect others!”

The high school girls refused to be outdone and attacked me: “We can take pictures if we want to. What’s it to you! If you don’t want to be photographed, don’t go out! Crazy woman! Old hag! Saying we’re horny, auntie, you’re the one trying to get a young guy! Aren’t you dressed like this to seduce this little brother!”

I… a conservative collar and a skirt are seduction?

Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves and argue with them, Wen Ye frowned, his face cold, and stood up, pulling my clothes to leave the center of the storm. “It’s so noisy… Le Xiaomai, have you bought everything? Let’s go home.”

I picked up the clothes, glared at them a few times, and swaggered off to pay the bill.

Carrying the spoils of war, I frowned unhappily in a secluded corner: “So many people were taking pictures of you just now, and asking for your contact information. Couldn’t you just reject them?”

Did small animals just not know how to reject people? If anyone gave them some benefits and fed them for a few days, they would happily follow them?

“I said it, but they didn’t listen, so I was too lazy to say anything later.” Wen Ye sneered coldly in disgust. “Isn’t that how you women are? The more you talk, the more they get into it. It’s better to just leave them alone… troublesome.”

I stared at him and pressed. “What do you mean?!”

He looked at me directly without dodging, his lips slightly pursed. “Aren’t you the same, Le Xiaomai? At first, I reasoned with you nicely, but you didn’t agree to cooperate. Later, I let you go, but you ran back yourself.”

“Are you playing the game of feigned indifference with me!?”

I wanted to throw the bag on this stinky fox’s face. I was so grateful that I came to thank him and even bought him so many things. So he was tricking me?

“My time is precious. I’m not that bored.” Wen Ye walked towards the outside of the mall, leaving me behind.

“Hurry up. I don’t like places with lots of people and messy auras.”

Le Xiaomai, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!

I took a few deep breaths. Damn it, let’s just destroy everything!

——————

Wen Ye had a legal identity. I suspected that Zhao Yanzu, the big boss behind the scenes, had some extraordinary abilities.

He could even get an ID card and passport for a fox spirit who had just transformed into a human.

“Using a human identity makes it easier for me to investigate people and handle matters.” Wen Ye sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating the grapes I had washed for him.

“Can’t you just use your fox form to become invisible? Isn’t that easier?”

I put in the SIM card, turned on the phone, registered, and entered my and Zhao Yanzu’s phone numbers.

“When my cultivation and spiritual power increase to a certain level, it will form a spirit pearl and transform into a human body. It’s difficult for the beast form to bear the ever-increasing spiritual power, unless my vitality is damaged and I’m knocked back to my original form. My injuries have healed, so under normal circumstances, I will maintain my human form.”

“Moreover, cultivating in human form will increase my cultivation faster.” He put the fruit bowl on the coffee table, lifted his chin, and glanced at me.

I immediately understood that he wanted more.

So I cut strawberries, mangoes, and bananas, and mixed them with yogurt to make a fruit salad, deliberately training him to use utensils.

Wen Ye could now use a spoon, but he held it with his whole hand.

I corrected his posture. He frowned unhappily, looking impatient. “Why are humans so troublesome?”

“Hmph, women are even more troublesome, right.” I said sarcastically to him.

“Yes.”

My eyes rolled around, and I carefully tested, “Was the young lady who adopted you troublesome? Would you dare say that to her?”

Wen Ye stopped eating, tilted his head to think, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “She’s not troublesome. She’s very gentle and kind. She doesn’t get angry no matter how much you bully her.”

I said “Oh” in response, my chest inexplicably suffocating, but I couldn’t help but ask, “Then, is she pretty?”

“Cultivators don’t look at appearances. A kind and righteous heart, pure cultivation, a clear and clean soul, and well-nourished and abundant spirits will naturally lead to bright eyes, white teeth, jade bones, and ice muscles.” Wen Ye said with a calm face.

It seemed that the gentle young lady must be very beautiful. Was she his bai yueguang…

After registering WeChat for Wen Ye, I pushed my and Zhao Yanzu’s WeChat accounts over and noted their names, telling him how to send voice messages, make phone calls, and answer the phone, and demonstrated it for him with my phone.

“Do you understand?” I asked him.

He concentrated on holding the phone and pressing a few number keys, then entered a heart, and said ‘Mm’ casually.

He memorized it so well and even noted a heart. Who else could it be but that bai yueguang young lady.

“Can you say it again?” Wen Ye looked up, frowning.

I shrugged, lifted my butt, and walked away. “I’m a little tired. I’m going to take a shower first.”

Damn it, you’re so good at it, go explore it yourself!
