by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 75: The Little Fox Who Intended To Repay A Favor
At this moment, there was no one else in the carriage.
Only Xia Yi and Yue Liu, a dragon and a fox.
Because of that, the little fox suddenly realized something.
If she were to do something strange to her sworn rival right now… no one else would know.
“Ying ying ying?!”
The little fox suddenly became inexplicably nervous.
She couldn’t understand why such thoughts had appeared in her mind.
That wasn’t right.
Her relationship with Xia Yi was supposed to be that of mortal enemies.
Dragons and foxes were destined to be rivals for life.
Wasn’t it strange to have thoughts like this about an enemy?
No, no. This absolutely wouldn’t do.
The little fox shook her head vigorously, trying to throw those thoughts out of her mind.
And yet…
She also felt that this opportunity was incredibly rare.
If she missed today, she might never get another chance.
After all, this was her rival completely without defenses!
Thinking this, the little fox had already climbed into Xia Yi’s arms.
With the fox clan’s sensitive sense of smell, she caught a delightful scent, sweet, like vanilla ice cream.
The little fox lifted her head and stared at Xia Yi’s adorable sleeping face.
She became entranced.
Her body seemed to move on its own, slowly leaning closer.
The distance between dragon and fox gradually shrank.
In another moment, she would touch Xia Yi’s pale cheek.
And then,
Just as they were about to press completely against each other, Xia Yi seemed to sense something and suddenly opened her eyes.
“Hm?”
Xia Yi stared in surprise at the little fox right in front of her face, rubbing her eyes.
“Fox-radish? Are you attacking me?”
“……”
The little fox froze.
W-Why did she wake up at this exact moment?!
This was going to look completely wrong!!
“Ying ying ying! Ying ying ying ying ying ying ying ying!!!”
“What?”
“Ying ying ying!”
The little fox, utterly flustered, babbled rapidly in the fox language that Xia Yi couldn’t understand at all, as if desperately trying to explain herself.
Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter.
Her brain felt like it was overheating, practically steaming, she had become a “steam-powered fox-radish.”
“Fox-radish, what exactly were you trying to do to me just now?” Xia Yi tilted her head curiously.
“Ying ying ying!”
The little fox jumped off Xia Yi at once and dashed to the corner of the carriage.
She clutched her head and curled up into a ball, her nine pink tails wrapping around her body, trying to hide herself from reality.
“It should be safe now, right?”
Xia Yi stood up and looked out the window, checking the situation outside.
“Since Fox-radish seems fine, and the train has already left the White Night Cult’s Peach Blossom Haven… that means we successfully escaped!”
The little princess reached her conclusion.
Her own magical power still hadn’t recovered much.
She felt extremely weak.
Judging by the situation, the members of the dragon delegation must have protected her and brought her back onto the train while she was unable to fight.
She walked over to the corner of the carriage to check on the little fox.
“Fox-radish, are you alright?” Xia Yi crouched down in front of the pink-furred fox and asked.
“Ying ying ying!”
The little fox had completely transformed into a “ying-ying monster.”
“Stop ying-ing already, I seriously can’t understand you!” Xia Yi said helplessly.
“I did not do anything strange to you just now!!” the little fox explained hurriedly. “I only saw something dirty on your face and planned to… lick it off. That’s all! I had no other thoughts!”
“Oh, so that’s what it was. You reacted so dramatically that I thought you were trying to do something bad to me.”
“N-No… nothing bad… I am not a bad fox… I would never do… bad things…” the little fox said guiltily, her voice growing quieter and quieter.
“Why do I feel like you’re acting a little suspicious…?” Xia Yi said thoughtfully.
“My sworn rival!!”
The little fox suddenly raised her voice, expertly changing the topic.
“Thank you! You helped me greatly and saved my life!”
“Fox-radish actually thanking me? That’s quite something,” Xia Yi said with a sigh of amazement.
“I can at least acknowledge something like that…”
“Is it only going to be a verbal thank-you?”
“What?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know what I mean,” Xia Yi said, her words carrying a subtle implication.
“What exactly am I supposed to know?”
“I’ve heard that when foxfolk express gratitude, they repay the favor. Right?”
“Repay the favor?!” The little fox looked shocked.
“My sworn rival, you actually want my repayment?!”
“Of course,” Xia Yi nodded.
“Th-This…”
The little fox suddenly became shy.
Among foxfolk, repaying a favor to an outsider often meant… becoming that outsider’s wife.
Such things had indeed happened before.
If an outsider accidentally saved a foxfolk’s life, the rescued fox would sometimes take human form and repay the favor by marrying them.
If Xia Yi was asking for repayment now…
Didn’t that mean she wanted her to…?!
The little fox’s brain nearly overheated again.
What should she do?
So her rival really was into girls?!
Panic filled her mind.
The little fox had never imagined that one day her relationship with her rival would change like this, turning them into… spouses.
They would even skip the entire stage of dating and jump straight to marriage.
Was that really okay?
But Xia Yi had truly saved her life.
A debt like that had to be repaid.
After a fierce internal struggle, the little fox finally made her decision.
“I… I understand, Xia Yi. If this is what you want… then I will repay the favor…”
The little fox spoke softly as she walked to Xia Yi’s side, obediently standing there.
“Hehe, then I won’t hold back!”
Xia Yi reached out her hand toward the little fox.
The little fox closed her eyes and let herself be handled.
She was pushed down by Xia Yi.
Then she felt Xia Yi’s hands rubbing back and forth across her belly.
Although it was extremely embarrassing…
Why wasn’t there a next step?
Was she really just… petting her?!
“Xia Yi… aren’t you going to continue to the next step…?” the little fox asked as she opened her eyes.
She discovered Xia Yi was completely absorbed in rubbing her belly.
“What next step? I’m enjoying your repayment right now,” Xia Yi replied. “I’ve wanted to touch your belly for a long time. Now I finally have the chance. The feeling really is great, so fluffy, soft, and warm~”
“Th-That’s all?” the little fox asked in shock.
“Yep.”
“But I already prepared myself mentally! I even decided that I would… with you…!”
“Prepare yourself mentally?” Xia Yi looked confused. “Fox-radish, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Does ‘repaying a favor’ mean something else?”
The little fox froze.
This was bad.
She had misunderstood everything.
Xia Yi had never been thinking about that kind of thing at all.
Instead, it was the little fox whose imagination had run completely wild.
At that moment, the little fox felt so embarrassed she might explode.
“Ying ying ying!!”
She ran back to the corner of the carriage again, curled up tightly, and covered herself with her tails, entering full shutdown mode.
Looking at the little fox like that, the little princess simply laughed cheerfully.
“Fox-radish is still just as weird as ever~.”
