Great Chu Rises, Chen Sheng Is King!
In the Sea of Chaos, the night is thick, the stars fill the sky, a lone boat with Fluorite Lamp, and it floats quietly on the dark waters.
On the ship, a handsome man dressed in a simple white robe, with a hood that was integrated with his upper body, a cape on his left shoulder, a red-trimmed turned-up collar, and a wide belt with several Flying Daggers strapped to his waist and a large sword on his back, squatted at the stern of the cabin, gazing at the catch that had been pulled up in the net. He stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
He knew that the ocean was rich in resources, and that whatever aquatic products, sea monsters, or even strange and broken things he dredged up were all within acceptable limits.
But can anyone tell him why a purebred terrestrial creature could be caught in the deep waters of the Sea of Chaos?
"Mmm..."
A small head with pale golden fur and a pointed chin emerged from the seaweed under the net, and a melodious, mournful cry echoed in the man's ears.
"Sorry, I was so lost in thought that I almost forgot about you, little one."
At this moment, to satisfy his wicked sense of humor, a certain evil creature, dressed in classic Assassin's Creed attire and posing as a deep and mysterious being, blinked his smiling eyes, pulled out a dagger, casually cut open the fishing net, picked up the fluffy little creature, and stirred the ether to dry its wet fur, revealing the true form of this land creature.
Hmm, it's a fox...
Samael smiled and ruffled the little fox's head. The soft touch reminded the ancient snake of his experience petting the big sister Atalanta back in the day, and he enjoyed it immensely.
Thus, the well-trained strength and the just-right touch on the right parts made the little fox lie comfortably on the deck, raising its chin to reveal its soft white fur, indicating that someone should touch it.
Keep going, don't stop!
The little guy's seemingly casual movements reveal an underlying languid elegance and composure. His sharp, fox-like face is increasingly exquisite and alluring, and his cheerful calls, tinged with a nasal tone, are melodious and captivating.
In a daze, Samael was suddenly struck by a strange light.
When he regained consciousness, he was surprised to find that he had bent his left arm and was holding the little guy lightly in his arms, his five fingers gently scratching its chin.
"How could there be a fox in the sea..."
The ancient snake looked down, muttered something, and clicked its tongue. Its eyes flickered mysteriously. Then, it lifted the Golden Fox's front paws with both hands, raised the somewhat dazed little creature high, and examined its soft belly with a serious expression, muttering under its breath.
"Speaking of which... is this a mother?"
In an instant, the little creature, who had been enjoying the sea breeze, stiffened, then leaped forward on its hind legs, distorting and blurring the air around the fox, with several faint, iridescent rainbows appearing.
"Boom!"
Caught off guard, Samael saw stars before his eyes, his hands slipped, and he fell backward to the ground.
Hmph! What a frivolous man! Even if he's impatient, he shouldn't treat a lady like that!
The fox landed lightly, grinding its white, sharp teeth in resentment, and glared resentfully at the man who had fallen into the cabin.
Wait, did I hit him too hard and kill him? After all, he saved me from the sea.
Immediately, the little guy's heart tightened, and he quickly jumped onto Samael's chest to listen closely.
The vigorous heartbeat made the fox breathe a slight sigh of relief. In an instant, it rolled its eyes inwardly, moved closer to the man, and showed him its little paws. It patted the cheek of the molester in an annoyed manner, and a layer of blue light spread from between its paws and seeped into the man's body.
Samael slowly woke up, and couldn't help but touch his cheek, which had been scratched with several bloody marks, muttering resentfully.
"If you don't want me to look, then don't. Why do you have to scratch me? You used to really like people touching your breasts..."
The Golden Fox jumped off the ancient snake, looked down at its own furry paws, and froze for a moment. Then it hummed softly, took a step, turned around, and crawled into a quiet corner of the cabin, curled up into a ball, and closed its eyes for a nap.
However, a trace of shame and indignation lingered on the little guy, but it gradually faded.
Under the faint glow of the fluorite, the ship swayed gently, gliding smoothly across the sea. Samael glanced discreetly at a spot in the cabin, his gaze wandering.
Yes, it's a female...
The long night stretches on, and a lone boat sails on the vast, gloomy sea, inevitably bringing a sense of loneliness.
The ship's pitching motion made the Golden Fox in the cabin unable to sleep, tossing and turning.
In the hazy light, a strong aroma of bacon made the little bacon, which wasn't very sleepy to begin with, perk up its ears instantly, and its golden eyes shone brightly.
Meat! It's meat!
The Golden Fox took a deep breath, closed its eyes in ecstasy, and became even more energetic and determined.
It's not fish or shrimp! It's not crab! It's not squid!
It's definitely beef, mutton, or chicken, duck, or other meat!
She had been adrift on the Sea of Chaos for who knows how long, and she had almost forgotten what the carefully selected livestock and poultry of the humans on land tasted like.
The little girl's eyes grew increasingly unfocused as she thought about it, and before she knew it, she had stepped out of the door, run onto the deck, and stood before the glowing charcoal stove, her eyes fixed intently on the sizzling, oily legs of the bird.
"Awake? Hungry? Here, have some rice to tide you over."
Samael noticed the little guy standing in front of the stove, smiled and showed his kindness. He thoughtfully took a plate, put some roasted poultry on a skewer, sprinkled it with cumin, pepper and other seasonings, and gave half to the new passenger.
The Golden Fox hesitated for a moment, and the instant the plate was pushed to its side, it couldn't wait to bury its head and devour the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside poultry.
The firm meat has a dried and smoky flavor, which is mostly due to the meat undergoing preservation treatments for humans to facilitate long-term storage.
Although not as tempting as fresh meat, the fox on the deck, which was gnawing on the bones with a satisfying crunch, was clearly quite pleased with its simple meal.
"Smoked lamb chops, wanna try some? When we left Eagle's Nest, that girl Calamity Jane insisted on giving me a huge piece."
Samael glanced at the fox happily gnawing on a pile of chicken bones, and with a smile, took out a piece of lamb chop from behind him.
Lamb...
The fox, smelling the aroma of meat, raised its eyes with intense gaze and nodded repeatedly.
However, as soon as the little guy stepped forward, Samael immediately pulled the piece of tender mutton back, pointed to the scratch on his cheek, and looked at the fox with annoyance.
"I kindly saved you and checked you out to see if you were injured, and you still scratched me? That's going too far."
"If you want some food, that's fine, but shouldn't you show some friendliness and let's call it a truce?"
The ancient snake shook the smoked meat with one hand, rubbed its chin and pondered for a moment, as if it had thought of something, and its eyes suddenly lit up.
"I don't ask for much, just a proper fox call would be fine, right?"
"Woo... Awooo..."
Hearing the simple request and tempted by the large meal, the Golden Fox readily agreed.
However, the moment she was born, her mouth was firmly pressed down by the man in front of her.
"No, that's not how a proper fox is called!"
"?!"
The petite figure was stunned and bewildered. Had she been calling him the wrong name all these years?
"Come on, don't rush, I'll teach you!"
Samael gently covered the slender body of the Golden Fox, stroking it softly and enthusiastically demonstrating.
"Follow my example: The Great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be king!"
A solemn atmosphere filled the air. The teacher across from him had unusually serious eyes. The Golden Fox, as if possessed, switched to a beast-like vocal cord and emitted a sound that was neither quite a whimper nor a croak.
"Mi... Migu?"
