"Tsk tsk....."

"It’s you who called me heartless, and now, I’m here to repay your family’s kindness; why are you still not satisfied?"

"You little brat, just babbling nonsense...."

Ansheng’s mouth curled up wildly, as if he could already imagine Sun Xingyao, inwardly going crazy and cursing him, but on the surface having to act dumb and sweet without a choice.

But it couldn’t be helped.

Sun Xingyao was simply too bizarre, both in behavior and ability, beyond what normal people could comprehend.

Until her origins were determined, Ansheng couldn’t possibly trust someone so peculiar, with unknown background, unclear information, and even unknown identity.

Even if it’s an eleven or twelve-year-old kid, they have outgrown the age of playing with mud, but no matter how much of a genius, they couldn’t master the production and practical application of Spirit Particle Potions.

If there were no evidence, Ansheng might even suspect that Sun Xingyao was, like those landlords in the Longevity Club, one of those who had reverted to youth.

Those old ghosts, after reverting to youth, most often impersonate their descendants.

Or they first wipe out their own families to reclaim power and resources dispersed during their senility.

Sun Xingyao was a ticking time bomb.

Ansheng didn’t confront her directly, only out of respect for Sun Chong’s care for Fox Father and Fox Mother.

Otherwise.

He would have captured Sun Xingyao and instantly refined her into Wish Power.

"Little Fox, your smile is so sly...." Ah Qing sniffed and with a strange expression looked at Ansheng:

"Did you... secretly do something bad?"

Ah Qing had seen Little Fox smile like this before, back during summer vacation when her dad and mom first met Xiaolan.

Huhu was decked out in gold and silver, even wearing a collar that was actually a multimillion-dollar internationally famous watch.

Her dad and mom were scared out of their wits.

Xiaolan kept scolding Old Deng and Yellow Hair, leaving her dad looking completely submissive.

"How could I do anything bad, I was just thinking how happy Fox’s repayment was...." Ansheng waved it off, indicating that adults shouldn’t meddle in kid’s business.

"Hmph!"

Ah Qing snorted lightly, she had heard about the story of Little Fox’s repayment and they had collectively praised her for it too.

But hearing Xiaolan mention it, Ah Qing still got upset.

Repayment is good, it shows Fox’s sense of loyalty, but where’s the hand-biting ceremony of ours?

The only time we had the hand-biting ceremony, after the bite came a, "Yuck, so salty. Ah Qing, you didn’t wash your hands!"

"Ding-ling-ling——"

Amidst the joking and chatting, their time riding Turtle around the reservoir admiring the view was about to end. The current temperature in the Imperial Capital was stably at minus three degrees.

No matter how fun it was to ride Turtle, the cold wind by the lakeside was almost numbing their noses.

Just then.

A hurried ringing interrupted their winter sightseeing chatter on Turtle’s back.

Under Ansheng’s surprised gaze.

On the reservoir’s edge, three neat rows of retractable metal barriers began rising up.

The barriers blocked Turtle’s path, and from the direction of the Imperial Capital Campus, security personnel and students were riding electric scooters towards the barriers.

"Did you break some celestial rule?"

Looking at the large convoy of over forty cars and the metal barriers in front of them, Ansheng asked Turtle with a face full of surprise.

"It’s feeding time...." Turtle raised a hand, rubbing a big bump on its head while explaining:

"My appetite is huge, and the reservoir resources aren’t nearly enough to sustain me. When I’m hungry, I can come here to get specially prepared rations from the school."

"They must be here to feed me...."

Turtle whined towards Master Fuli, explaining the unusual situation at the Imperial Capital Campus.

Today, it might have come too early, and the students on scooters didn’t have time to prepare meals, all came running empty-handed...

"Huh? There are people on Turtle’s back..."

When the students approached Turtle, they also saw Ah Qing and others riding on Turtle’s back, and were instantly shocked.

This... the ultimate home-destroying tyrant turtle, has it turned friendly today? Even smiling at humans!

"Be careful, miss on the turtle’s back, the Sulcata tortoise is extremely destructive!"

"Don’t move; we’ll figure out how to get you down..." After a brief shock, the students called cautiously to the people on Turtle’s back.

"What?" Ah Qing was full of question marks, but also followed the senior’s suggestion, climbing down from Turtle’s back.

The students and the security team were all full of gossip, eagerly asking how Ah Qing and others managed to ride Turtle.

And during their conversation, Ansheng also learned the reason for the students’ collective action.

They were indeed there to deliver food, but the reason for setting up a meter-high retractable barrier was because the Sulcata tortoise was an ’Ultimate Home-Destroying Tyrant’.

The Sulcata tortoise is a digging turtle; once full, it will dig and sleep in the ground to digest its food.

Once...

The Imperial Capital Campus had a bathhouse specially built for the students.

But one day, the Sulcata tortoise, after feeding, dug into the ground to sleep and accidentally broke the foundation of the luxurious bathhouse, robbing the students of their winter bliss.

The principal held his heart, struggling to breathe.

And from that day, the Sulcata tortoise lost its privilege to freely enter and exit the Imperial Capital Campus.

Without teacher or student accompaniment, Turtle wasn’t allowed to enter the campus unguided.

The price of the Sulcata tortoise: $4.3 million.

"My goodness, it’s almost one percent of mine." Ansheng looked at Turtle with a face of shock.

He completely didn’t expect that this seemingly simple and honest Turtle was carrying millions in debt.

And upon hearing this, Ah Qing and others also had an exclamation mark popping up above their heads.

Turtle... really overturned their impression.

Aren’t turtles supposed to be quiet creatures loving to bask around?

"Well....you guys can’t leave yet; you might need to go to the Security Bureau and sign a confidentiality agreement." The students said as they saw Ah Qing and others preparing to leave.

"Sign what the heck! Buy me a meal at the cafeteria!" Ansheng responded as he poked his head out, joking to the students.

"Is there a cold cola, get me a bottle!"

"Fox... Fox spoke! Fox is talking!" The students were stunned and their hair stood on end as they looked at Huhu in shock.

"Not only can I talk, but I can also grant appointments. For people like you, I offer a monthly salary of three thousand!"

Ansheng chuckled, raising his hand and pointing, leading the students to launch an assault on the Imperial Capital Campus cafeteria.

"But!"

"Whoever gets me a cold cola will have a future as a senior researcher, research institute leader, starting at department level...."

While in school, Ah Qing called her second uncle to join them for lunch at the cafeteria.

After having lunch on the campus, once the lunch break ended, Ansheng once again sat in the luxurious car of the Parasitic Beast to collect houses and accompany Ah Qing to buy gifts before visiting her second uncle that evening.

Although she had just seen her second uncle at noon, going over in the evening was for an official New Year’s visit, and the necessary gifts had to be brought.

"Hmm....First time offering New Year greetings to someone." Ansheng mused with a slightly odd expression, wondering if anyone would come over to offer him New Year greetings this year.

Logically speaking, given his status and connections, someone definitely should.

He just didn’t know who it would be.
