There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 172 Murong Xuechuan

A fox spirit named Murong Xuechuan, also known as Meimei, recently appeared in the Caiyun Mountains.

Meimei is a native red fox spirit from Yunnan. She often roams in the deep forests of Yunnan and has only recently wandered to the Caiyun Mountains.

He was different from other foxes from a young age. He was originally just an ordinary red fox, but when he was young, he met a myna bird that set up a fortune-telling stall, and his fate changed.

When the myna bird saw Meimei, it thought to itself, "After so many days, I finally have some business."

"Wait, little fox!"

The myna bird stopped Meimei and skillfully began its persuasive speech: "I think you're destined for greatness. How about I give you a name to boost your luck and improve your fortune?"

"Name?" Meimei looked at the myna bird that was blocking her way with a puzzled expression, and said, "I have a name, it's called Meimei, it sounds nice and it's easy to remember."

The myna shook its head: "No, no, no, this name is not good. You foxes value appearance very much, and you have a fiery face. Murong Xuechuan would be a better name."

"Murong Xuechuan?" Meimei frowned. "It's so hard to understand, and there are so many characters. I still want to call her Meimei."

Seeing that Meimei refused, the myna bird was not angry. Instead, it took out some photos of celebrities to show Meimei: "You're so shallow! What Meimei? Look at those international superstars, like Gerald and Natalie, they all have four-character names!"

"Oh, oh." Mei Mei was stunned by what the myna bird said, and even felt that what it said made some sense.

The myna bird then tempted, "Do you want to be an ordinary, pretty girl, or do you want to be one of the four rare foxes in the world?"

"I want a four-character name; I want to be a fox that is different from others."

Meimei was easily persuaded by the myna bird to change her name and give the myna bird her hard-earned pocket money.

Soon after, Murong Xuechuan began to dream that one day he would be recognized because of his name, and thus rise to the top and become a big star.

Because Murong Xuechuan was exceptionally intelligent and possessed extraordinary physical attributes, he was already a promising candidate for becoming a spirit. Furthermore, due to a fortuitous encounter, he consumed a rare and precious herb, and Meimei naturally attained enlightenment and became a spirit.

As one of the few foxes to have become spirits in the last hundred years, Murong Xuechuan was very popular, and foxes often came to him to ask for the secrets to becoming spirits.

However, Murong Xuechuan was very ambitious. He thought that since he had become a spirit, he could not always hang out with those wild foxes.

Therefore, after becoming a spirit, Murong Xuechuan had a clear goal: I, Murong Xuechuan, must integrate into high society.

Therefore, after inquiring around, Murong Xuechuan finally learned that there was a deer-man shop in the Caiyun Mountains, where many mythical beasts lived.

Moreover, the owner of the Deer Man Shop, the Four-Faced Beast, is said to be a beautiful and kind-hearted mythical beast who is happy to help other beasts.

Therefore, Murong Xuechuan traveled thousands of miles, enduring countless hardships, and finally arrived at the Caiyun Mountains, where he found the location of the Deer Man Shop.

However, as a clever fox, Murong Xuechuan had his own ideas. He did not choose to go directly to the Four-Unlikes, but instead observed it in secret.

After some observation, Meimei discovered that the owner of the deer shop was indeed a creature that resembled a mythical creature, and there was also a mythical beast called Rabbit Lord. It seemed that he was pursuing the mythical creature, and he often saw them being affectionate together.

But even so, Meimei still felt uneasy. In order to integrate into the so-called high society, Meimei could not be careless and needed to do more investigation.

We need to find out at least what mythical beasts are in the Deer Man's shop, and what their interests and personalities are like.

Therefore, Meimei sought out the Water Radish Clan of the Rainbow Cloud Mountains, hoping to find out information about the Deer Man Shop from them.

When the Water Radish Clan heard Meimei asking them about the Deer Man Shop, they all complained, "Brother, be careful! There's a blue mad dog in that shop that ate a lot of our brothers. We'll fight them to the death!"

"Hmm." After hearing what Water Radish said, a hint of contempt flashed in Meimei's eyes. She sneered inwardly: You guys have chosen the wrong path. A smart fox will not make enemies of the strong.

However, Meimei skillfully concealed her disdain and then asked, "Hmm, besides these, what else?"

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, a terrifying face appeared in his mind, making him shudder.

"Also, there's a black dog in the deer shop that's even fiercer than the blue dog. It often demands protection money from us, and if we don't give it to it, it eats our family and friends."

Meimei then sought out the Mushroom Clan to gather information from them.

Before long, Meimei had a general understanding of the mythical beasts in the Deer Man's shop.

After receiving this information, Meimei thought to herself, "I'm clever enough as I am. What I need to do is join them, gain their trust, and make them work for me."

So Meimei decided to pick the easiest target and looked for the smallest-looking walnut in the deer shop.

While Walnut was playing alone, Meimei walked up to him and said with a smile, "Little friend, you've been playing by yourself for so long. Do you want Brother Fox to play with you? Brother Fox can be your friend."

After hearing Meimei's words, Walnut shook her head and said, "No need, I already have two fox friends, I don't have time to play with you."

"What?! There are so many foxes in the shop?!" Meimei was startled by Walnut's words, not expecting there to be so many fox spirits here.

Before Meimei could react, Walnut walked over with a fox.

“This is one of my fox friends, his name is Inari Shota. I also have another fox friend, named Inari Fuku, but she went home recently and I don’t know when she will come back to look for walnuts.”

Upon seeing Mimi, Inari Shota politely asked, "Hello, may I ask your name?"

At this moment, Meimei was still immersed in the fact that she had been deceived by the crow. What a rare name in the world! That old myna bird didn't know how to do it!

"Forget it, kids are useless, I won't waste my time on them," Meimei muttered angrily to herself.

Undeterred by her failure with walnuts, Meimei decided to try a different approach.

Meimei pondered to herself that, based on her investigation, the person in charge of the shop should be that owner, Si Bu Xiang. However, this Si Bu Xiang seemed to be a stubborn but soft-hearted person who would always grant requests.

"This kind of character is the easiest to deal with. Watch me use my feigned innocence to trick him." Mei Mei smiled.

Then Meimei took out a bottle of ketchup from her pocket and smeared some on herself to make it look like she was injured and bleeding.

After some preparation, he finally found an opportunity and pretended to be injured and faint at the entrance of the Deer Man Shop.

Hearing the noise outside the door, the Qilin came out to check and saw Meimei lying on the ground.

The four-legged creature quickly helped Meimei up: "Oh dear, what happened to you? Are you alright?"

Mei Mei weakly opened her eyes and said feebly, "I'm seriously injured, please save me!"

When the Qilin heard Meimei's words, it couldn't help but smile. Then it touched Meimei's body with its paws, seemingly checking his wounds.

Soon, the four-legged creature said with satisfaction, "Then let's go inside and rest."

As he spoke, the four-legged creature helped Meimei into the store and found a blanket for him to cover himself so he could rest.

After experiencing everything that the Four-Unlikes had done for him, Mei Mei felt smug: Everything was going as I expected. Now that I've successfully infiltrated the Deer Man's shop, all I need to do is find a way to stay. I, Murong Xuechuan, will definitely enter high society.

Just as Meimei was having some sweet dreams, Rabbit God happened to return from grocery shopping and saw that there was actually a fox next to the four-legged creature.

Therefore, Rabbit Lord glared at Mei Mei with dissatisfaction: "What the hell is this? How did a fox spirit end up in our house?"

The four-legged creature explained, "Don't overthink it. I just thought he looked like he was about to die, so I brought him back to make you a new scarf."

"A scarf? Made for me?"

The sudden surprise hit Rabbit Lord so hard that he couldn't believe it and slapped himself across the face.

"Rabbit Lord, why are you hitting yourself?" The four-legged creature was so frightened by Rabbit Lord's behavior that it took a few steps back.

After feeling the burning pain on his face, Rabbit Lord was not in a hurry. Instead, he hugged the Four-Faced Beast tightly and said, "Four-Faced Beast, you are so good to me."

"Come on, wake up, hoof!"

The four-legged creature, unable to bear the rabbit's entanglement any longer, used its "Clarity Hoof" to send the rabbit away.

Soon it was mealtime, and the Four-Faced Beast had prepared a table of food. Just as they were about to call Tianlu back for dinner, Haochen returned.

However, as soon as Hao Chen returned, he hugged the four-legged creature tightly, his paws groping around on its back.

"Haochen, let go of my claws."

"Hehe, it's a strange creature, just touch it, don't mind it."

Hao Chen reluctantly let go of Mei Mei's paws, then pointed at her and said, "You're so kind, you knew this winter would be very cold, so you specially prepared a fox fur coat for me."

"what!"

Meimei, who had been smug, suddenly jumped up from the ground after hearing Haochen's words, pointed at Haochen and cursed, "Who are you calling fur? I'm just injured, not dying."

But soon, Meimei realized something was wrong. The four-legged creature was looking at her angrily, while Haochen had a half-smile on his face.

"Oh no, I've been exposed." Mei Mei cursed inwardly and lay back down. "Ouch, my legs hurt so much!"

"Little fox, why are you pressing your stomach if your leg hurts? Does your stomach hurt too?"

"Ah, yes, yes, my stomach hurts too." Meimei panicked a little and quickly followed Haochen's lead.

But soon, Meimei realized something was wrong. She pointed at Haochen in horror, stammering, "You...you're that scoundrel, the one who likes to collect protection money?!"

"..." When Hao Chen was speechless, he was truly speechless.

It's been so long since he last collected protection money, how come the monsters here still remember? It seems necessary to go and have a good talk with them.
