Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 298: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (25)

In the past few days, Shi Qi also verified Hui Kong's murder, and it happened that Hui Kong appeared a few days ago and took the initiative to confess. This incident shocked the entire Nan'an Temple, and because of this tragic incident, the incense offerings in Nan'an Temple declined.

Not long after the fox demon case was closed, Shi Qi received an imperial edict from the emperor.

In just a few months, she not only returned to the court, but also held a higher official position than before, the fourth rank, as the Shaoqing of the clan government, in charge of administrative and prison affairs.

They would leave the temple in the afternoon to go to the palace to formally receive the title. Shi Qi prepared some meals and preserved fruits early, said goodbye to Lu Ziqi and Xiaojiu, and returned to his residence to pack his bags. After packing his luggage, Shi Qi lay on the bed, enjoying the breeze and taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Once she entered the palace, her every move would be more directly exposed to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao hated her so much that she would definitely not let it go, especially since she was now firmly in the position of queen.

With just a flick of his finger, he could make her die in a hundred different ways.

"There are so many fruits, but the master doesn't even call us." A numb voice appeared above Shi Qi.

Shi Qi opened his eyes as usual: "Eat if you want to. Now your magic power has recovered 70%? It doesn't matter if you stay away from me. When I enter the palace as an official, it will be inconvenient for you to follow me."

Xiang Ling picked up a red bean fruit and chuckled, "Why not? Although you are an official, you don't live in the palace."

Shi Qi stood up and quickly took two fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.

It’s not that she likes to eat it, but she was a step late, and the preserved fruits were all eaten by the stinky fox.

"You don't know that there are many people in the palace and if you are not careful, you may be caught. Besides, isn't the Taoist priest Xianyi going to enter the palace? If you go in... won't you be walking into a trap?"

After hearing this, Xiang Ling's mouth slightly stiffened, and then he smiled mysteriously: "Oh? Taoist priest? Haha... they are just some fraudulent charlatans. Since you are worried about this, then... I will say goodbye to you for the time being."

Logically speaking, I should be happy to hear that the fox is going to leave me for a while.

But looking at his smirking expression...why does it feel weird?

"So...where are you planning to settle down next?" Shi Qi asked.

"Of course, it's to deal with some of my private affairs. But don't worry, sir. Although I'm not by your side, you will always be my master. As long as you give me an order, I will try my best to achieve it." Xiang Ling narrowed his fox eyes, which was very charming.

Shi Qi translated it again in his mind.

What the fox meant was, "I have something to do first. Although I can't be by your side to monitor you, if you dare not obey, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Shi Qi's body trembled slightly, and he shook his head to calm himself down: "Is that so."

But it’s a good thing, she can finally be free for some time.

"It won't be so easy to see me again in the future~" The fox raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes rolling around, looking mysterious.

Shi Qi: That’s exactly what I want…

"By the way, I haven't formally thanked you for helping me solve the brothel case some time ago. Since you like roast chicken, I made a new dish this time. It can be regarded as a farewell gift and also as a thank you gift." Shi Qi said, turning around and taking out a tightly wrapped oil paper bag from under the table.

When a fox heard about roast chicken, his eyes lit up like gemstones, and he said insincerely, "Well, who has time to help you? I just happened to be busy. It's just a roast chicken. I've had enough. What new things can you do?"

Shi Qi was too lazy to burst the leak and just opened the oil paper bag. Instantly, a numbing, fragrant, sweet and spicy smell filled the room.

Sure enough, the fox had already approached and stared at the roast chicken, saying one thing and doing another.

"Well, I accepted your thanks because I was afraid that you would feel bad." Xiang Ling took the roast chicken and swallowed.

"I know, I know. Spicy and spicy chicken with Sichuan peppercorns, do you like it if you try it?" Shi Qi said.

As usual, Xiang Ling broke off the chicken leg first and was about to take a big bite, but suddenly he saw Shi Qi's pale and weak face and paused.

Turning a corner, he handed the big chicken leg to Shi Qi, and said awkwardly, "This chicken leg has not been cleaned of hair, I won't eat it, you eat it, sir."

For the first time in history, a huge chicken drumstick appeared in front of him, and Shi Qi felt like he was dreaming.

This stinky fox didn't even leave her a bone before. Has he changed his ways today and now feels sorry for her?

No, not likely.

Or... are you afraid that she has poisoned the new dishes, so you want her to test the poison?

The more Shi Qi thought about it, the more he felt that it was the second one.

She took the chicken leg and took a bite. It tasted just as she had imagined, spicy and crispy.

"I've tried it. Look, it's not poisonous. You can eat it without worry. It's just a little darker in color and has a new taste." Shi Qi finished chewing, still unsatisfied.

Xiang Ling's face darkened when he heard this.

This is outrageous. Who does this woman think he is?

"Hmph, eat it if you want." Xiang Ling felt depressed. He snatched the chicken leg that Shi Qi had bitten and tore off a large piece of chicken meat.

Hmm, the taste this time is so special, crispy, numb and spicy, so delicious... Hmm, did he eat this woman’s saliva just now!

Ah!

Did he eat something she had bitten?

Xiang Ling's body suddenly stiffened. He felt something strange, which made him feel itchy.

"Are you okay? Is it not to your liking... Is it very unpalatable?" Shi Qi looked at Xiang Ling's flushed face and asked kindly.

Xiang Ling put one hand on Shi Qi's moving lips and said fiercely: "Shut up!"

Shi Qi blinked, and his lips accidentally touched Xiang Ling's palm.

Xiang Ling trembled all over and quickly withdrew his hand. He felt his face steaming and his whole body was hot.

"Go get me some ice water. It's your fault... the chicken is too spicy!" Xiang Ling threw away the chicken leg that Shi Qi had bitten as if it were a virus.

"it is good."

But when Shi Qi went to get some water, he picked up the chicken leg again and said softly, "I... I just don't want to waste food, um, right."

Shi Qi was still thinking on the way to get water. She tasted the chicken and found it was only slightly spicy. When she came back to get the water, she saw that the chicken on the table had been finished by Xiang Ling.

Shi Qi: …

In fact, he just wanted to get rid of her and take her for himself...

Forget it, it was originally a gift for him. When Shi Qi thought that he wouldn’t have to see this stinky fox for a while, he was very happy, but at the same time, he felt a little reluctant.

In the afternoon, Shi Qi took a short nap and set off. The fox was nowhere to be seen, and there was no movement in the jade bracelet.

……

On a rugged path, a group of people were carrying a large sedan chair, playing gongs and drums, looking very majestic.

And the person sitting in the sedan chair was the Taoist priest in fairy clothes whom Su Cheng had invited back to the capital.

A gust of wind blew, and a corner of the curtain of the sedan was lifted up. Through the gap, a dark shadow in the sedan could be vaguely seen. Although the facial features could not be seen clearly, they were very three-dimensional, the figure was tall, and the aura was suppressed.

Suddenly, the black shadow, that is, the Taoist priest in fairy clothes, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, and he talked to himself.

"Xiang Ling, you dare to harm my men... let's wait and see."

"Just like how I defeated you hundreds of years ago...it's the same this time. Humph!" the man said, and hammered the handle hard.

The servant outside heard the noise and asked, "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable with the rugged mountain road?"

"It's okay, it's a bit noisy, please stop the gongs and drums."

"Yes…"
