Chapter 77

  Isn't he sick with a fever? I was somewhat puzzled, and moved the hand that was about to touch his ear to his forehead to check the temperature. The other hand touched my own forehead, and the temperatures were similar, what's going on here?

  "Fox, why is your ear so hot?"

  "Uh..."

  The fox let out a cry and said no more.

  I laughed and said: "You've exposed these two ears, so what about the other two human ears you have? Are they gone or do you have a total of four ears?"

  He stood there motionless, and I didn't hesitate either. My curiosity was getting the better of me, so I reached down to feel, and under his hair, the two ears that were supposed to be hidden were really gone! This made me a little disappointed. A four-eared person, no, a fox spirit, is not common in this world, after all. I thought the fox in front of me had four ears, but it didn't occur to me that after the two fox ears appeared, the human ears would disappear.

  "Get your trotters off."

  The fox suddenly became unhappy and said coldly.

  "Hehehe..." I smiled at him and begged, "Just touch it a bit, just once. I've lived this long and it's the first time I can get so close to touching a fox spirit's ear. This feeling is just too great, can't you be generous and let me touch it for a little while longer?"

  "Want to touch?"

  He gave a sly smile, making me feel uneasy. As I let go of his ear and prepared to run away, I was already tightly hugged in the fox's arms.

  His scorching breath was beside my ear, blowing onto my neck in waves, making my face burn with heat.

  "Fox, let me go first."

  The atmosphere was really awkward, I struggled free from his embrace, stiffened my body, and didn't know what to do.

  "Feel it!"

  A slightly hoarse voice sounded in my ear, and I felt his breath getting hotter and closer to me, making my heart even more tense.

  "It's not like you want to touch the real thing, right? Well, now the real thing is right behind you. Thirteen generations have wanted to touch it, where do you want to touch it? Go ahead and touch, not just the ears, other places are okay too."

  As I said that, the fox suddenly leaned forward, slowly blowing hot air on my neck, making my face feel like it was on fire.

  I was just curious and wanted to touch the fox's ear, why are you treating me like this, heaven?! I looked up at the sky, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears, my waist tightly held by the fox, even if I wanted to run, I couldn't escape.

  I trembled with nervousness and whispered to him: "Thank you, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

  "Just for fun."

  The fox drew out its tone and slowly spat out these four words.

  "Shouldn't we play a bit more? With such a short time, can the thirteenth generation have fun to their heart's content?"

  He leaned in closer and I could feel his breath on my face, at this moment, the two of us were in a very awkward position.

  "I can, I can, I can."

  I hastily nodded my head, fearing that this fox would suddenly get angry and do something out of line.

  "But I haven't had enough fun yet, and no one has touched me! To stop at the 13th generation is truly heartbreaking for me."

  The fox's chin pressed against my shoulder, exerting force on it.

  "Huh?"

  I don't know how to respond to him anymore.

  "Why don't we just continue, if you're not willing to come and touch me again, then I'll go touch you instead. Anyway, it's all the same, you touch me and I touch you, everyone is even, right? Do you think I should touch your upper body or lower body?"
