Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 302: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (29)

The next morning, Shi Qi woke up from holding his breath.

The question was whether she was strangled to wake up. The fox woke up from his drunkenness and wanted to kill her to silence her.

"Did you hear anything you shouldn't have heard last night? Did you see anything you shouldn't have seen?" Xiang Ling stared at Shi Qi's expression, trying to find any flaws.

But the woman's expression was calm, as if she had just woken up: "Since you have said and done it, then what should I not hear or see..."

Xiang Ling shuddered when she heard this, and she released Shi Qi's hand. She frantically touched her inner clothes, lifted the quilt to look at her lower body, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her pants were still there.

But why do I feel regretful?

Could it be that...he was hoping for something else to happen?

Xiang Ling was shocked by her own thoughts and quickly exclaimed: "Bah! You pervert!"

Shi Qi yawned in a daze: "Are you talking about me?"

Xiang Ling waved her hands and smiled softly: "No, no, how could it be? I am talking about myself, I actually hurt you without knowing the truth. Does your neck still hurt?"

Shi Qi was already used to the speed at which the fox changed his expression, and joked: "Thank you, it will take at least ten days or half a month to recover."

Xiang Ling's hands froze and he carefully put them behind his back like a child who had made a mistake.

"Um...um...it's just...I'm sorry."

Shi Qi suddenly came to her senses. She could actually... hear Xiang Ling’s apology in her lifetime?

Is the world about to collapse or is she still dreaming?

And she just discovered that he now has fox ears, which are pink and fluffy. At the moment, they are drooping and shaking slightly. With his androgynous and aggrieved face, he is so cute... so tempting.

If it was a child, she would have pounced on it and beaten it by now.

Shi Qi came back to his senses and coughed lightly: "No need to apologize, cough, your fox ears are showing.

"Also, don't call me sir. You are a second-rank official now. Don't mess up your status."

"Although I don't know why you came to me so late, I still hope that the Immortal Lord will pay attention to your identity and behavior." Shi Qi said as he stood up, put on his official uniform, and prepared to work in the sect government.

Xiang Ling was a little confused for a moment. He just... wanted to be closer to her. He felt depressed when he saw her nodding and bowing to the emperor.

Normally she just listened to him...

"Of course I came here because I need your energy. My magic power hasn't recovered yet. Besides, I was drunk yesterday. It would be bad if my true form was revealed and seen by the people in your house." Xiang Ling's eyes turned and he explained seriously.

Yes, it’s because his magic power has not fully recovered that he needs to be closer to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi listened, put on his official hat, put on his outer robe, and tied his belt.

The whole person became much more dignified.

It's just that this official hat is easy to slip on her head...

"Pack yourself up and leave. I'm leaving first." After Shi Qi said this, he left without even looking at the person on the bed.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of staying, Xiang Ling simply lay back on the bed, rubbing against Shi Qi's bedding and sniffing the lingering fragrance.

"Hmph, just ignore me. I'll just absorb some of the essence." Xiang Ling took a deep breath, and the woody scent entered his nostrils, making him feel safe and familiar.

Xiang Ling's face felt hot and burning.

"Sure enough, this essence must be impure."

……

Zong government.

Before, Shi Qi was a junior sixth-rank official in charge of the three lower-level departments of the general government, but now he has been promoted directly to the chief junior minister.

She is so young and a girl, so there are many people who are jealous of her.

As soon as she arrived outside the mansion and got off the carriage, these men gave her a warning.

It snowed heavily overnight and the roads were icy. They should have swept the snow in front of their door and waited for her to pick them up outside the mansion. But at this moment, it was cold and deserted outside the mansion, and it seemed as if water had been deliberately poured in front of the door. The ice was so thick that it could be made into ice sculptures.

There were only two stone lions at the door to welcome her.

If nothing unexpected happens, who knows where the people inside are sitting and watching her make a fool of herself.

The driver got off the car and said respectfully, "Master Shi, maybe it's because it's cold, they didn't have time to clean up. The ice in front of the gate is too thick, and we can't go in through the front gate. How about... please go through the back door first?"

Shi Qi raised his eyes and said softly, "What the old man reminded me of is true, but if I follow their lead today, bow to them, and enter through the back door, within a day, the whole capital will laugh at me, and how can I maintain my dignity in the future?"

"Your Excellency is a man of extraordinary bearing. I have made unwarranted assumptions. I will take my leave now." The coachman couldn't help but look at Shi Qi with admiration, so he leaned over and drove the carriage away again.

Shi Qi walked closer without slowing down, and stepped steadily on the ice. With a "bang", he kicked open the half-frozen mahogany door.

The moment the door was kicked open, broken ice splashed everywhere.

The group of subordinates in the mansion who were waiting to see the joke were looking at each other in a daze.

Among them, a boy who looked young stood in the front and asked, "Are you the new Shaoqing? How shameless of you to break the gate."

"Boss, don't waste time talking to her. If she wants to join our sect's government, we have to see if she has the ability to do so." Another person suddenly pulled a rope.

Before Shi Qi could react, a bucket of cold water was poured over him from head to toe.

In an instant, her clothes were soaked and she was instantly struck by a bone-chilling cold. If she were an ordinary person, she would have probably fainted on the ground by now.

Of course, if it were the previous time, she would have also been dizzy.

But she had been in Nan'an Temple for so long, doing all the hard work, and she had also been conditioning her body for a long time, so a mere bucket of ice water was nothing to worry about.

Even in winter, once the clothes get wet, they feel quite heavy when hanging on the body.

"Hahahaha, boss, look at her appearance, her official hat has been washed off, and she's a bald nun, hahaha..." The man pulling the rope laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, I say... Lord Shi, you've seen it, right? You should ask the emperor for a leisurely official position. We won't make things difficult for you. People in our government are all fighting for their lives. If you, a girl, come here, won't you cause trouble for us?" The leading child felt a little awkward and embarrassed when he saw Shi Qi was soaked.

He is a grown man after all, and he is bullying this weak woman too much.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing. Wait until she has thought it through. Then you guys find some clean clothes and send her back. I have to go to the Ministry of Justice to try a serious criminal today, so I don't have time to deal with her." The boy waved his hand to signal to the others.

After that, he was ready to leave.

But the next second, Shi Qi's light but not weak voice sounded: "Are you done? Is there anything else to do? If not, follow me to sort out the cases."

"Hey~ woman, don't be ungrateful. We are not trying to make things difficult for you. This government is not a place for women to come. If you stay here in the future... you might even lose your life." said another subordinate.

"Hmph, you guys are so good at looking down on women. The official position was granted by the Emperor himself, so how can you give me comments? You said you wouldn't make it difficult, but a group of grown men stopped a woman outside the mansion and poured cold water on her. It's simply childish and stupid." Shi Qi stepped forward, put on his official hat, and spoke calmly without weakening his tone.

"What kind of place can't women come to? Could it be that... you are so weak that you don't even have the power to protect a woman? What a joke, it turns out that the Zong government has a bunch of trash." Shi Qi turned his face away, the contempt in his eyes was clearly visible.

"You!" When the others heard this, they reached out to push Shi Qi, but were stopped by the leading child.

"You are a girl with a strong temper. The clan government is a place where even the emperor doesn't care. To put it bluntly, you are left to fend for yourself. You only have a few years of youth, why waste it in this damn place? I, Zhao Chang, have offended you for what happened today. Xiao He, take the master back home." After the boy who called himself Zhao Chang finished speaking, he bowed to Shi Qi.
