Since the 100,000 yuan arrived in his account, Lei Yun felt like he was floating when he walked.
So, he took Hu Lanlan to a five-star hotel and opened a suite, enjoying a taste of the nouveau riche life.
The hotel staff had been a bit surprised to see such a beautiful woman like Hu Lanlan following Lei Yun, but their attitude changed when Lei Yun generously booked a luxurious suite.
“Wow…” Hu Lanlan looked left and right around the room.
“Hey, don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.”
Hu Lanlan suddenly sat down on the sofa, crossed her long legs, and looked at him with seductive eyes, saying, “This is the first time you’ve taken someone to a hotel, and such a luxurious suite at that. I must take a good look and remember it forever, and brag about it to my sisters when I get back.”
“Alright, deal with this guy first.”
Lei Yun’s empty backpack when he left was now full. He reached into it and pulled out a fox, throwing it on the sofa.
“This poor little thing, injured so badly,” Hu Lanlan said with pity.

“Alright, I’ll quickly help her take a look.”
Hu Lanlan touched the fox a few times and said, “Looking at this fur, it’s obviously not from our branch. The luster is far worse than mine.”
“No, no, no, Grandma, I’m the ugliest,” Lei Yun praised her helplessly.
Hu Lanlan’s eyes narrowed with laughter. She sent a ray of spiritual light into the fox’s body, and the originally pale and injured fox turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Lei Yun glanced away uncomfortably, went outside, and brought back a bathrobe to cover her.
“Which branch are you from? How did you get injured?” Hu Lanlan asked, raising her eyebrows.
This big fox was completely different from Hu Lanlan, born gentle and quiet, quite like a sickly beauty imitating Dong Shi.
“I am from Nine Grandma’s branch.”
A gentle voice sounded like a breeze blowing by.
Nine Grandma was a leader of a fox clan. The demise of the Great Song Dynasty was thanks to this Nine Grandma, who bewitched Emperor Jingxuan so much that he never attended court again.
Uprisings broke out everywhere, and the Little Song Dynasty perished.
“How could someone from Nine Grandma’s branch run here? Aren’t you active in the north?” Hu Lanlan looked at her suspiciously.
The girl was uncomfortable under her sharp gaze and muttered loudly, “You… you were caught by a Taoist priest. Taking advantage of his carelessness, I stole someone else’s things and ran out, then smelled my sister’s aura and ran in.”
Hu Lanlan’s expression changed slightly. She hated Taoist priests the most.
Lei Yun glanced at the big fox and smiled strangely, saying, “Let’s eat first.” The girl nodded, her watery eyes looking at Lei Yun.
“My name is Hu Xiaoling, hello brother.”
Lei Yun nodded, “Lei Yun.”
“I know brother, I heard the sisters in the clan say that you run an inn on Hejiang Road.”
The corners of Lei Yun’s mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled and said, “So I’m so famous in your fox clan!”
Hu Xiaoling nodded, her eyes secretly looking at him.
Hu Lanlan glared at him, “What nonsense, don’t think wildly.”
At this moment, Lei Yun suddenly put on a playful smile, his tone nostalgic, “Lanlan ah, back then you spoke to me like this too, time waits for no one…”
Hu Lanlan paused, said nothing, went to the phone on the side, and called the waiter to bring the food up.
The hotel service was very fast, and six dishes and a soup were quickly delivered to the room. The three of them sat at the dining table in the living room and rested only after their bellies were full.
“Hu Xiaoling, tell me, why were you caught by the Taoist priest?” Lei Yun leaned back in his chair, his tone a little casual, yet irresistible.
Hu Xiaoling paused slightly, slowly clutching her fingers, “I… I like someone.”
The expression of Hu Lanlan opposite changed, and she slammed the table with a “pa,” looking at her with a look of disappointment, making her look frightening.
“Have you forgotten the rules of the fox clan!”
Hu Xiaoling shrank her body and said, “I know, but I just like him.”
“Who is that person, what is his name?”
Hu Xiaoling lowered her head, not saying a word, obviously unwilling to reveal that person’s identity.
“I said, how could those stinky Taoist priests catch you for no reason, so that’s how it is.”
Lei Yun lay in the chair, looking at Hu Xiaoling with a smile.
“Human-demon love is a great crime, you’ve seen enough examples in your clan.” After speaking, he secretly glanced at Hu Lanlan.
Sure enough, Hu Lanlan’s face turned pale, as if she was about to get angry.
“Alright, hurry up and have her family elders take this little fox away, we still have serious business to do.”
Hu Lanlan nodded with a pale face, looked at Hu Xiaoling cowering there, and stretched out her hand to burn a talisman, contacting the fox clan to take her back.
Seeing her like this, Lei Yun said nothing, yawned, and went back to the room to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Lei Yun slightly opened his eyes and looked at the door, muttered something, and covered himself with the blanket to continue sleeping.
In the living room, Hu Lanlan sat on the sofa, Hu Xiaoling sat beside her, and a long-haired woman in a white suit stood in front of them. The woman glanced at Hu Xiaoling, her eyes slightly cold.
“Hu Honghong, quickly take my girl away.” Hu Lanlan’s tone was a bit bad, as if she had a deep hatred with the man in front of her.
Hu Honghong just smiled slightly and said, “Got it, thank you for this, I’ve been looking for this girl for several days.” Then, her eyes turned cold as she looked at Hu Xiaoling, “Your courage is getting bigger and bigger, you actually dare to sneak out of the mountains.”
Hearing this, Hu Lanlan interjected, “If she just sneaked out and got caught, that’s all, but she charmed a mortal man and got caught, you better take care of her, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.”
Hu Jingxue’s originally smiling face changed slightly, gradually becoming cold. Her eyes stared tightly at Hu Xiaoling cowering on the side and said, “Thank you, I won’t let her follow the old path of certain people.”
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind rose in the living room, and only Hu Lanlan was left sitting there alone, her head lowered. Her beautiful face no longer had the flirtatiousof the daytime, only endless loneliness remained.
The blanket was suddenly lifted, Lei Yun wiped his face and climbed up, muttering, “This fox spirit is really troublesome.”
He took the blanket from the side and walked to the living room, covering it on her thin shoulders, and said softly, “Don’t be sad, haven’t you been doing pretty well these years.”
Hu Lanlan raised her head slightly, tears overflowing from her beautiful eyes, and whispered, “Three hundred years, I’ve been wandering in the human world for three hundred years, they won’t let you come back, and there’s no one to care about you.”
Lei Yun sighed, as if remembering the lively and bossy little fox three hundred years ago.
The next morning, after Hu Xiaoling left, Hu Lanlan also returned to her usual charming appearance.
“Brother Lei, are we taking the bus directly to Wucheng today?”
Lei Yun nodded, carrying the worn-out backpack and walking towards the outside.
They boarded a bus to Wucheng, and it took four hours to reach the station. Then they transferred to a minibus, and finally got on a small truck to Liujia Village.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a large bus was shaking and swaying on the bumpy rural dirt road.
In the carriage, there were about ten people, men and women, old and young, most of whom were people returning from the market in town, with bamboo baskets placed in front of them.
Lei Yun sat near the door, and Hu Lanlan beside him had already leaned weakly on his shoulder.
“Brother Lei, when will we arrive? I knew I should have tried to make another teleportation talisman.” Her voice was very low, only the two of them could hear it.
Lei Yun did not expect this place to be so remote. He glanced at the crowd outside the car and said, “Bear with it, it’s almost there.”
“Little brother, where are you two going?”
A nearby aunt looked at the two of them curiously and asked. At this time, there were few young people going there. Their place was remote and so poor that they were ringing. If there were any young children in a family, they would almost recognize them.
Lei Yun smiled and said, “Aunt, my friend and I are here to find a classmate.”
The aunt nodded after hearing this, and asked suspiciously, “The bus goes to Xiaowang Village further down the road. There aren’t many young people in our village?”
At this time, a middle-aged woman on the side interjected, “Third Aunt, have you forgotten? Isn’t Xiaohui from Wang Erge’s family a student?”
The aunt nodded after hearing this and said, “So you are going to find Xiaohui.”
Lei Yun nodded without changing his expression. How could he know what Xiaohui was, he would just muddle through first.
“Is this girl carsick?”
Lei Yun glanced at Hu Lanlan, who was leaning on his shoulder with a pale face, and nodded, “Yes.”
“It’s rare to see such a beautiful girl, young man, you are so lucky.”
Lei Yun was embarrassed and grinned, “Yes, Auntie.”
The few of them chatted like this for almost half an hour before the bus finally stopped at the entrance of the village.
Lei Yun helped Hu Lanlan get off the bus and muttered, “I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming.”
Hu Lanlan glared at him, her usual Beautiful and charming completely gone.
A fox spirit with hundreds of years of cultivation was actually carsick, it would be a joke if it were said out loud.
The words of the two were heard by a middle-aged woman on the side. The woman carried a bamboo basket and said familiarly, “My house is near Xiaohui’s house, I’ll take you there.”
Lei Yun didn’t dare to follow, and repeatedly said no need.
The woman gave the two a strange look and said, “Little brother, there is only your village in these ten villages. If you don’t come to Xiaohui’s house with me, then where are we going? It’s so late, no one will pick me up.”
Lei Yun looked around, it was quiet and silent. The villagers took their belongings and hurried inside, leaving only the aunt slowly walking behind.
Hu Lanlan suddenly pinched Lei Yun’s waist and said softly, “Thank you, Auntie, thank you for leading the way for us.”
Lei Yun understood that she was probably going to use charm to confuse the one called Xiaohui later.
The woman led the two of them in the back, passed a long dirt road, and stopped behind a yard.
“This is Xiaohui’s house.” After speaking, without waiting for the two to speak, she shouted directly, “Xiaohui, your friends are here to find you.”
The yard was only surrounded by simple bricks into a half-person-high fence. The people inside seemed to have heard the movement. A light lit up in the dark room, and then the door of the house was opened.
A young boy walked out in slippers, and everyone was stunned when they met.
“Sister, is it really you?”
Lei Yun and the two of them did not expect that Xiaohui was the fair-skinned boy with glasses on the train.
Seeing that they knew each other, the woman smiled and thanked the woman, welcoming the two into the yard.
The yard was not small, with three cement houses in the middle, and two more on the right, one was the kitchen, and the other was open and unclear.
