The Highly Intelligent Little Fox (Continued)

Two hours! A full two hours! The doll that took so much time and effort to perfectly recreate the appearance of the Thousand-Man Herrscher girl from the story was smashed by a single punch from the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"It wasn't just my fault to begin with," the Herrscher of Knowledge stubbornly insisted.

"Then you shouldn't eat dinner tonight."

"Fine, I won't eat then. Is it going to kill me to skip a meal or something?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said dismissively.

"Oh, then why don't you throw away those candles on the table while you're at it?" Chen Luo said casually.

"Candles? Why are you lighting candles? And why are you cooking at home? Isn't the food at the bar tastier and more convenient?"

The key point is that you don't have to wash dishes when you eat at a bar.

"Hey, I was planning to cook at home tonight to celebrate the bumpy yet wonderful experience of us knowing each other for half a month. Since you put it that way, let's go to a bar instead." Chen Luo nodded and put the spatula in his bag.

To be honest, Chen Luo doesn't really like cooking, and washing dishes is quite a hassle; eating at a bar is much better.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Eating at home is just fine, really." The Herrscher of Knowledge immediately apologized obediently.

I'd completely forgotten about it.

These past two weeks have indeed been quite thrilling.

"Ha, women." Chen Luo turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The Herrscher of Knowledge glanced at the kitchen, then at the Herrscher of a Thousand who had been smashed to pieces by a single punch, Thousand-Man Herrscher who even his own mother wouldn't recognize. After only half a second of thought, he used his storage ring to collect the items.

Cleaning and such is too much trouble.

The storage ring in the hand of the Herrscher of Knowledge was the one that Liu Wenxuan gave to Chen Luo.

Right now, the Book of Cang Xuan is sitting there obediently in the storage ring.

Similarly, there are two Key of Domination.

Although there were only 1,000 Key of Domination in the Previous Era, Fu Hua, as the executor of the Seed Project, directly inherited about 100 Key of Domination from the Previous Era.

Although some of the Key of Domination were destroyed in battle, some remained in the secret realm of Tai Xu Mountain. However, the Herrscher of Knowledge did not take them all.

One of these two is for Chen Luo, and the other is for the Herrscher of Knowledge himself.

Although the Herrscher of Knowledge has his own sword case, it's interesting that the two of them use the same weapon, isn't it?

From the time the Herrscher of Knowledge of Herrscher of Knowledge left until the time he returned, approximately four and a half hours had passed.

In other words, the Herrscher of Knowledge travels fast enough and doesn't need to return to Changkong City; they can go directly home through the bar. Otherwise, four hours wouldn't even be enough for a round trip, let alone entering the secret realm.

"Eek!"

"Hmm?" A peculiar sound came from the kitchen, attracting the attention of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Upon hearing this strange cry, the Herrscher of Knowledge immediately headed towards the kitchen.

Then they saw Chen Luo busy in the kitchen, and a fox stealing fried chicken nuggets.

"Alo, what's this?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was completely bewildered as she looked at the new little fox that had appeared in her home.

How long have I been gone? Just over four hours. How did a fox suddenly appear?

The Herrscher of Knowledge immediately grabbed the little fox, who was stealing chicken nuggets, and lifted it up by the scruff of its neck.

"It's a fox, obviously." Chen Luo said while cooking.

"Of course I know it's a fox, but the important question is why it ended up in our house?"

"Oh, you mean this? This little fox is in the same situation as you. It was also spat out from the Space-Time Turbulence above the vegetable garden in our backyard. I suspect there's a spacetime portal in our backyard, but I have no proof."

"I see..." Feeling the unusually intelligent little fox in his hand, the Herrscher of Knowledge nodded thoughtfully.

Since Alo said the other person's situation is the same as his, it means the other person must have also issued a mission. Alo should be aware of the other person's situation, right?

The Herrscher of Knowledge, being the Herrscher controls consciousness, could tell at a glance that this little fox was no ordinary little fox.

The Herrscher of Knowledge probably knows the level of intelligence of small animals. The little fox in front of him is probably in the same situation as himself, and has probably also suffered a lot of injuries. However, he suffered internal injuries, while the other suffered both internal and external injuries.

Although the little fox was seriously injured, it was still clear that its original level of consciousness was definitely higher than Chen Luo's current level.

It's not that the other party is much stronger than Chen Luo, but rather that the other party's soul is more resilient.

Simply put, she's an old hag.

However, due to the injury, the other party's intelligence is not yet sufficient to support its own recovery.

Simply put, his head was damaged.

The little fox's condition is relatively easy to recover from; just be patient and wait, and it will get better on its own after a while.

Until the other party fully recovers, they will likely remain in this state of extremely high intelligence, with an IQ not much lower than that of a six-year-old child, and a very strong learning ability.

There was no Honkai energy reaction on the other party. Could it be some kind of spirit beast from Different World?

"Well, whatever, who cares?" The Herrscher of Knowledge used very precise force to throw the other party unharmed onto the sofa some distance away.

Even if the other party is some kind of fox spirit or a magical beast, it still can't steal the dinner that Alo specially made for me.

As for whether or not to mention this little fox to Chen Luo...

Hmm, I just made a mistake by talking back, and now the more I say, the more mistakes I'll make, so I'd better keep quiet.

Anyway, with Alo's talent, after accepting the other party's request, he will also explain the other party's condition, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.

Furthermore, the Herrscher of Knowledge could sense that even if the opponent regained their strength, they wouldn't be strong enough to defeat him with one hand.

"Alo, I still want to eat cola chicken wings." After putting these worries behind her, the Herrscher of Knowledge said.

"Okay, I'll make it right away. And don't sneak any more, or there won't be any left."

"Sigh, then why is it that the fox gets to eat it?"

"Why are you arguing with a fox? Besides, isn't it normal for foxes to steal food?" Chen Luo suddenly remembered the fox he used to keep that would always steal food whenever he cooked.

Chen Luo used to try to control his fox when it stole food, but later he realized he couldn't control it at all, so he just gave up.

Eat up, eat up, eat until you're stuffed.

"Oh, okay." The Herrscher of Knowledge nodded and left the kitchen.

Of course, I didn't forget to grab a couple of chicken pieces as well.

If you don't sneak food, then there's no point in staying in the kitchen. Isn't the purpose of the kitchen to sneak food?

This is especially true for idle people like those Herrscher of Knowledge.

Cooking? What cooking? I've never heard of that.

"Waaaaah." The pink-haired fox, who had been thrown onto the sofa by the Herrscher of Knowledge, was initially not very happy to see the culprit, but after seeing the two fried chicken nuggets in her hand, she immediately moved closer to her.

"What's wrong? Want some?" After eating one piece of fried chicken, the Herrscher of Knowledge placed another piece of fried chicken in front of the other person.

"Eek!" The little fox looked longingly at the fried chicken nugget in the Herrscher of Knowledge's hand.

"Sigh, no way!" The Herrscher of Knowledge stuffed the fried chicken nugget into her mouth and made a face at the little fox.

"Eek!" The hatred from having her food taken away, combined with the hatred from being thrown onto the sofa, erupted, and the little fox pounced directly at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Then he was suppressed by the Herrscher of Knowledge with a single hand.

Hilarious! A cricket that looks like a pink-furred fox...

After finishing the fried chicken nuggets, the Herrscher of Knowledge picked up the little fox, wiped her oily hands on it, and then tossed it aside.

"Waaah!" The little fox was practically bristling with anger.

"Bang!" Then he was suppressed again by a flick on the forehead from the Herrscher of Knowledge.

You and your frizzy hair make me laugh.

But then again, having a pink fox around seems kind of fun.

Especially when the opponent is no match for you.

After suppressing the little fox Herrscher of Knowledge n't rest. She took out the doll that she had smashed with one punch, which was extremely similar to the Thousand-Man Herrscher in the original Honkai Impact 3rd storyline, and began to try to piece them back together.

Although Chen Luo seemed not to care much about this thing and simply apologized, the Herrscher of Knowledge felt it was necessary to glue it back together.

As for how to stick it... the Herrscher of Knowledge remembers having tape and glue at home.

"How about that! Am I amazing?" After Chen Luo placed the last dish on the table, the Herrscher of Knowledge secretly took out the Thousand-Man Herrscher doll that he had painstakingly repaired in 10 minutes from behind the sofa.

"Do you... want to hear the truth or a lie?" Chen Luo looked at the puppet in front of him that had been repaired by the Herrscher of Knowledge, and was momentarily speechless.

"Uh, that's a lie, isn't it?" The Herrscher of Knowledge said after a moment's hesitation.

"Great job!" Chen Luo gave a thumbs up.

"Emmm..." Although she was praised, the Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't feel happy.

The Herrscher of Knowledge hesitated for a moment, then threw the Thousand-Man Herrscher doll wrapped like a mummy aside.

"Eek!" The little fox saw the doll that the Herrscher of Knowledge had been holding for a long time being thrown onto the sofa and immediately bit it.

If I can't beat you, I can still beat this puppet!

"Alright, Little Eight, stop playing and come eat," Chen Luo called out to the little fox.

"Eek!" the little fox cried out, then jumped off the doll.

"Hmm, after four hours of treatment, it looks like the results are pretty good." Chen Luo looked at the little fox's posture and nodded in satisfaction.

The little fox should have fully recovered its energy and strength by now, since it can jump from the chair onto the table.

With that thought in mind, Chen Luo put away his advanced Teleport Anchor with 100 Primogem.

Now that the little fox is cured, there's no need for further treatment.

"Is her name Xiao Ba?" asked the Herrscher of Knowledge, sitting next to Chen Luo.

In the end Herrscher of Knowledge did not turn off the light but lit a candle. It would be fine if it were just him and Chen Luo, but what's the point of having a fox in the mix?

"That's right, her name is Xiao Ba, and she seems to really like the name," Chen Luo nodded.

"..." Sensing the slight annoyance the little fox showed upon hearing the name, the Herrscher of Knowledge ultimately refrained from speaking of it.

As long as Alo is happy, there's no need to worry about the little fox's feelings. After all, if you're eating, drinking, and getting something for free, you'll always have to pay a price.

Why is he called Xiao Ba?

"Probably because she's the eighth pet I've ever had," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"The eighth pet is going to be named Hachi? That's too random, isn't it?"

"Otherwise, should the eighth pet be Little Nine?"

"Is this the problem?" When it came to naming his pet, Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't keep up with Chen Luo's thought process.

"Did you name your previous pets Little Seven, Xiaoliu, and Xiaowu?" the Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help but ask.

"No, that's not it. Only the seventh pet Little Seven. The other pets were never called that. But only the seventh pet survived, so I think it might be because they're easy to raise," Chen Luo said.

"I see. I have heard of this custom."

It's like how people in the countryside call each other "dog egg" or "iron egg".

"Come on, Xiao Ba, eat more, but don't choke." Chen Luo put two chicken pieces in the bowl that the little fox used on the table.

Chen Luo didn't find anything strange about having pets on the table.

Because the little fox that my family used to keep was also served at the table, and it would refuse to eat if the bowl was placed underneath it.

Perhaps foxes are just intelligent creatures, after all, they can do arithmetic.

"Hmm..." Seeing Chen Luo add chicken nuggets to the little fox, Herrscher of Knowledge was very unhappy and puffed up her cheeks instantly.

"These are yours." Feeling the piercing gaze on his back, Chen Luo picked up three chicken nuggets and gave them to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

But then there's only one chicken nugget left on the plate.

After all, the little fox and the Herrscher of Knowledge, those two kitchen thieves, have certainly wreaked havoc on the fried chicken nuggets.

"Thank you, Alo." The Herrscher of Knowledge of Herrscher of Knowledge's mood instantly improved, and then she glanced triumphantly at the little fox.

Unfortunately, the little fox was engrossed in eating the two chicken nuggets and didn't see the Herrscher of Knowledge's gaze.
