Chapter 195: Chapter 193: Are There Immortals in the Sky?

Hou Yaojun turned his gaze to Xu Jiali. She seemed to have a guilty conscience and immediately lowered her head, avoiding everyone’s eyes and trying not to be seen.

Seeing Xu Jiali’s reaction, Hou Yaojun gritted his teeth. "Doctor Wen, aren’t you taking this too far?"

"These are my rules."

Wen Ying said it without reservation.

’Since might makes right, and she was the mighty one, wasn’t it natural for her to call the shots?’

"What the hell is going on? Is there something unclean in this car!"

Hou Yaojun glared at Hou Yaowen. "Stop embarrassing yourself! Look at the doll in Doctor Wen’s arms."

Only then did Hou Yaowen shift his gaze to Little White. At that moment, Little White seemed to be tilting its head up to look at Wen Ying.

When Wen Ying didn’t react, it turned its head to face Hou Yaowen. "Idiot, what are you looking at me for?"

Hou Yaowen’s eyes instantly went vacant. He plopped down into his seat, and a foul stench immediately rose from beneath him.

He began to gasp for breath. "Brother, I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! Hurry and save me!"

Hou Yaojun was speechless.

Xu Jiali froze. She was scared too, but... ’He pissed himself from fear?’

’Something like pissing your pants in fear actually happened to a member of the high-and-mighty Hou family?’

Her worldview might need to be completely rebuilt, but there were clearly more important things to worry about right now.

"Master, it stinks!"

Little White stretched out a chubby paw and covered its own mouth.

Xu Jiali froze again, her mind finally catching up.

’So the fox doll really did speak. And it didn’t just speak—it moved.’

’It even scared a young master of the Hou family into wetting his pants!’

’And it hit two of the Hou family’s young masters!’

The color drained from Xu Jiali’s face, and she clapped a hand over her mouth again.

’I’m doomed, I’m doomed. Now that I know about something so fantastical, are they going to silence me?’

’I’ve heard that people who learn secrets never come to a good end. Is my career over just as it’s beginning?’

’This industry really is a tough one to survive in, and my luck is just the worst!’

’*Sniffle*, I really want to cry. Mama, I want to go home.’

But Xu Jiali didn’t dare to cry out loud. ’The weak have no rights.’

The car lurched and began to swerve. Hou Yaojun’s expression was terrifyingly dark. Watching the scene unfold, he was momentarily at a loss for how to clean up this mess.

’He knew Doctor Wen was no ordinary person, but he never expected she’d dare to unleash this thing in broad daylight!’

Xu Jiali trembled in a corner, not even daring to get close to Wen Ying again.

"What are you so afraid of? Little White won’t hurt you," Wen Ying said, glancing at Xu Jiali.

Xu Jiali stammered, "Li... Little White... Is that Little White?"

"That’s right. Little White is a fox. You’re probably wondering why a fox can talk. Little White isn’t an ordinary fox. Have you ever heard of the Fox Immortal?"

Xu Jiali’s eyes widened again. "The Fox Immortal!"

"Isn’t that something that only appears in stories? The Fox Immortal really exists? Is it Doctor Wen’s household god?"

Xu Jiali stared at Little White. ’The Fox Immortal from the legends—a mysterious, fearsome, and majestic Immortal—was actually this incredibly cute-looking little fox?’

Hou Yaojun was also stunned as he listened to Wen Ying’s words.

’So this doll was the Fox Immortal. It seems I’ve messed with someone I shouldn’t have.’

’The real master here, I’m afraid, is this Fox Immortal.’

Hou Yaojun’s mind raced. "Old Hu, pull over at the nearest restaurant. I want to host a banquet for Doctor Wen and Fo— Miss Xu."

He seemed to completely ignore Hou Yaowen, who had already passed out.

But strangely, no one else in the car mentioned him either, as if he wasn’t important at all.

At that moment, Hou Yaojun suppressed all the anger and hatred in his heart.

’So it really was the Fox Immortal. For a mere mortal like me to be struck by the Fox Immortal... my ancestors must have accumulated immense good fortune!’

’After all, how many people are fortunate enough to have the fated opportunity to meet the legendary Fox Immortal in person?’

’As long as the Fox Immortal accepts my patronage, forget Doctor Wen—the entirety of Ping City will be mine to command! Physical ailments, questions of fate... in the face of an Immortal, these are all trivial matters!’

Hou Yaojun’s attitude became much more respectful. "Great Immortal, I wonder, do you have any dietary restrictions? Or do you only eat roast chicken?"

Hou Yaojun had racked his brain to come up with this question.

Little White glared at him but said nothing.

Instead, it pointed at Hou Yaowen and then covered its mouth and nose.

Its look of disgust was so blatant that even a fool could understand it.

"Great Immortal, I understand! Rest assured, it will be dealt with immediately!" Hou Yaojun ordered the driver to stop, then directly tossed Hou Yaowen out of the car.

Men from the car following behind immediately carried Hou Yaowen away.

But Little White kept its mouth and nose covered, looking with dissatisfaction at the puddle of filth on the floor.

"Understood, understood! We’ll switch cars at once!"

The three humans and one Fox Immortal switched to a clean car. Only then did Little White finally beam, its fox eyes crinkling with pleasure.

"You don’t seem like a complete idiot, so why did you oppose my master?"

Little White shot Hou Yaojun a curious glance.

The car began to swerve again!

"Raise the privacy partition! And keep your ears and mouth shut!"

The driver immediately complied, his body trembling.

’Hou Yaojun couldn’t understand why an Immortal like the Fox Immortal would call a mere mortal ’Master.’’

’Was this some kind of rule for Great Immortals?’

’He figured that all those things Doctor Wen had guessed on the plane must have been told to her by the Great Immortal.’

’Who knew how many people this Doctor Wen had conned and how much money she had swindled by relying on the Fox Immortal.’

’But it was obvious that the Fox Immortal following her was a colossal waste of a priceless treasure!’

’Only by following him could the Fox Immortal realize its full potential and, of course, receive the finest patronage!’

At this moment, Hou Yaojun’s every thought was consumed with how to get the Fox Immortal to accept his patronage.

’This woman is too shrewd; she won’t be easily deceived. That means I have to start with the Fox Immortal itself.’

’It may be an Immortal, but its true form is still just an animal. Its intelligence can’t be that high. I need to come up with a foolproof plan.’

’I have to make the Fox Immortal believe that I am the one who can give it a better future.’

The car soon arrived at the nearest luxury restaurant, and Hou Yaojun followed respectfully by Wen Ying’s side.

He did so only because the Fox Immortal was in Wen Ying’s arms.

Even though Xu Jiali had received Wen Ying’s assurance, she was still terrified.

Her worldview had been utterly shattered.

’In this age of science, this era of advanced technology, all forms of superstition were to be dismissed!’

’The tales told by the elders were just that—tales.’

’But today...!’

’Xu Jiali felt as though her world had transformed into another, more mystical one!’

’A world where animals could talk and Immortals truly existed!’

’Did that mean the gods and Immortals in the heavens existed, too?’

Xu Jiali suddenly looked up toward the sky.

"What are you looking at?" Wen Ying couldn’t help but ask.

"I was wondering if there are Immortals in heaven," Xu Jiali blurted out.

"Miss Xu has quite a sense of humor," Hou Yaojun chimed in, thinking to himself that she was nothing more than a pretty face.

Hearing Hou Yaojun’s voice, Xu Jiali immediately snapped her head back down and nodded sheepishly.

"Are you talking about the gods and buddhas of legend?"
