Needless to say, Bai Qingyue could do nothing in his disguise as Snowball, except for inwardly bristle at the ridiculousness of it all, even though he was currently experiencing a mental breakdown.

However, one thing was for certain: this was one misconception which he absolutely refused to allow to exist!

'Foolish wife! When we get back home tonight, just watch how I sort you out!'

In the midst of all his thoughts, Bai Qingyue inadvertently let out a growl of frustration, catching both Li Meirong and the Turtle's attention.

"Snowball, are you well? Is something wrong?"

The care in his wife's voice caused him to snap out of the shock, and the buzzing noise immediately ceased.

"I am well enough." Bai Qingyue curtly answered.

"Is it just me or does the little fur-coat sound grumpy?" Feng Huang hovered over Li Meirong's shoulder, peering at the Fox Spirit as she sniggered with abject curiosity.

Irate and wrathful, Bai Qingyue scowled at the Turtle, flashing his sharp fangs. He mentally added another chore to his list of tasks, to find a turtle soup recipe!

"Don't tease Snowball," Li Meirong chided before turning towards the direction of the waiting crane mount. "Let's return to the Sword Bearer's division."

"Why are we going there?" Bai Qingyue asked.

He would much rather bring his wife back to a secluded location as soon as possible and show her just how much of a cut sleeve he was!

"We're going to visit my friend, Mo Cheng."

"I understand." Bai Qingyue answered as calmly as he could, carefully suppressing the growl that wanted to escape his throat at the mention of that insolent boy.

As the Fox Lord snuggled in his wife's embrace, he decided to use this presented opportunity to direct all of his suppressed fury at the unsuspecting succeeding disciple of the Sword Bearer's division who dared to covet his wife. Although he was asked not to kill the pest, Mo Cheng, it didn't mean that he would leave the boy without a parting gift.

The Fox Spirit's eyes flashed with a killing intent, but Li Meirong who held the cub in her arms was clueless to his cruel and ruthless nature. However, the ever-observant Turtle Demoness was not so easily fooled as she scrutinized the Fox Spirit's reaction. Though she held her tongue, for now, thinking that she would soon see a very good show.
