Chapter 4: Adopting a golden phoenix fox and naming it Xiaojinzi
"This is no ordinary fox..."
Xiao Liuyue's narrowed eyes opened slightly, she looked carefully and identified: "This is an extremely rare golden phoenix fox. There are only thirty in total in Feng Yuguo, and each one can be sold for millions of taels."
"Wow——" Xue Xichen exclaimed in disbelief, "It's so valuable——"
Xue Xichen jumped forward in three steps and two steps at a time, curiously looking around. The golden phoenix fox called out to her twice as if it was spiritual, and suddenly jumped into Xue Xichen's warm embrace, snuggling tightly.
She huddled up in fear, looking at Xue Xichen pitifully with her beautiful golden eyes, which were still shining like water.
"ah!"
Xue Xichen was startled when the golden phoenix fox suddenly jumped over, but when she saw the little golden phoenix fox in her arms shivering, her golden eyes were still filled with tears, she was about to cry, as if she was frightened, and she looked very pitiful. She couldn't help but feel sad
Feeling pity, he hugged the golden phoenix fox tightly, stroked the soft and delicate fur of the golden phoenix fox, and comforted him gently.
Feng Qingge walked over, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.
"Liuyue, you said this is the golden phoenix fox..." Feng Qingge looked at the fluffy golden little guy in Xue Xichen's arms and said in surprise, "I once heard when I was in the capital that the female golden phoenix fox only gives birth to one litter.
With a gestation period of up to 18 months, the survival rate of the cub is extremely low. Only one in 300 can survive. Therefore, it is now extremely rare. It is mostly kept as a pet for dignitaries and royal families.
It is rare to see a wild golden fox."
Leng Junyi frowned, "Once the golden phoenix fox is kept in captivity and loses its wild nature, it also loses the spirituality of the golden phoenix fox itself. It relies more on humans instead of foraging for food on its own. Most people raise golden phoenix foxes.
For the sake of vanity, they don’t really like the golden fox, so they usually don’t wait for the golden fox to give birth to its cubs safely before abandoning them. Once the golden fox is abandoned, it does not know how to find food on its own and will soon starve to death. This way
This vicious cycle makes the golden phoenix fox even rarer."
"Then this one..." Feng Bi was surprised, "could it be a wild golden phoenix fox?!"
"Yeah! It's hurt!"
When Xue Xichen was stroking the golden phoenix fox's fur, she got stains of blood flowing from the golden phoenix fox. She exclaimed, and quickly ran to Xiao Liuyue with the golden phoenix fox in her arms, and kicked him mercilessly.
Xiao Liuyue, who was lying down, kicked her and said urgently: "Brother, get up quickly! The little fox is injured! It needs treatment!"
"Hold it over here and let me take a look!"
Xiao Liuyue turned over and sat up, took the golden phoenix fox from Xue Xichen, carefully inspected the injured paw of the golden phoenix fox, took out the hemostatic powder from her arms, sprinkled it lightly on the golden phoenix fox's wound, and wrapped it carefully
Put on a bandage.
Feeling the golden phoenix fox trembling and struggling due to the pain of the wound, Xue Xichen gently stroked the golden phoenix fox's head and coaxed in a warm voice, "Little fox, don't be afraid! Senior brother will not hurt you! He is helping you treat the wound.
, you know? Be good! You will be fine soon! It doesn’t hurt! It doesn’t hurt..."
The golden phoenix fox seemed to understand Xue Xichen's words, its beautiful eyes flashed, and it no longer struggled, but looked at Xiao Liuyue timidly, and obediently allowed Xiao Liuyue to help it apply medicine and bandage.
When the pain was excruciating, he shrank back, but never ran away.
Seeing the Golden Phoenix Fox being so well-behaved and obedient, Xue Xichen felt extremely happy. She also became increasingly resentful of those who hurt the Golden Phoenix Fox and kept them as pets, but did not cherish and protect them!
After wrapping the bandage, Xiao Liuyue let go of Jinfenghu. As soon as Jinfenghu got free, he quickly jumped into Xue Xichen's arms, stretched out his pink tongue and touched Tian Xue Xichen's face.
"Ha ha--"
Xue Xichen was tickled by the golden phoenix fox. She hugged the golden phoenix fox and couldn't help laughing.
It seems that Jinfenghu likes Xue Xichen very much!
Feng Qingge and Xiao Liuyue on the side couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.
The Golden Phoenix Fox is indeed as spiritual as the legend says.
Xiao Liuyue smiled and said: "Xichen, this golden phoenix fox is destined to you."
"Yes! I like this little guy very much too!"
Xue Xichen hugged the golden phoenix fox and liked it very much. She touched the golden phoenix fox's beautiful hair, looked at the little guy's beautiful golden eyes, and said happily: "Little guy, how about I give you a name?"
?From now on I will call you...Xiao Jinzi!"
Xiao Jinzi? What a tacky name...
Xiao Liuyue and Feng Qingge looked at each other, having the same idea in their hearts. Jin Fenghu seemed to be connected with the two of them, and suddenly turned his head to avoid Xue Xichen's caress, with his pointed little mouth pouting high.
, eyes filled with resentment and angrily ignored Xue Xichen.
"Huh? You're a small fox, but you have quite a temper!"
He actually got angry, the little guy is so petty!
Xue Xichen couldn't help but curl her lips, thought about it seriously, and then said: "If you don't call it Xiao Jinzi, then call it Xiao Fengzi?"
Feng Qingge's eyebrows twitched and she was extremely disgusted with this title.
"Xiao Fengzi!" "Xiao Fengzi!" Why did he feel that Xue Xichen calling "Xiao Fengzi" was like calling him?! No! No! Absolutely not!
Feng Qingge quickly objected, "You are not allowed to call me Xiao Fengzi! You should call me Xiao Jinzi!"
"Okay! Then Xiao Jinziluo!"
Xue Xichen rubbed Jin Fenghu's head vigorously and said happily, "Xiao Jinzi, Xiao Jinzi, Xiao Jinzi, from today on, I am your master, you must be obedient!"
Hearing Xue Xichen's words, Xiao Liuyue asked: "Xichen, do you want to adopt this golden phoenix fox?"
"Yes! Xiao Jinzi and I hit it off immediately, and I decided to adopt Xiao Jinzi!" Xue Xichen hugged the Golden Phoenix Fox tightly in her arms, as if hugging her beloved baby, and said seriously.
The corner of Xiao Liuyue's eyebrows twitched. If you adopt, just adopt. Is it necessary to show such a great expression of "righteous speech" and "contempt death"? He almost thought that Xue Xichen had done something heroic that moved the world.
Deeds! This girl is so funny!
Feng Qingge saw Jin Fenghu nestling softly in Xue Xichen's arms. Xue Xichen's beautiful eyes lowered and stared pitifully at the poor little guy in her arms. The corners of her lips slightly raised a soft and warm arc.
Just like a mother gazing at her beloved child, Feng Qingge couldn't help but smile and said: "The golden phoenix fox is a spiritual animal. Aunt Xue must remember to treat it well!"
"Of course!" Xue Xichen said with starry eyes, "I will definitely treat Xiao Jinzi as my own!"
"Xichen!" Xiao Liuyue was extremely helpless, "Xiao Jinzi is your pet, not your child!"
"Who said that!" Xue Xichen hugged Jinfenghu tightly and said seriously with stern eyes, "Little Jinzi is my treasure, it is my child! I will not let anyone hurt my child!"
Xiao Liuyue opened her mouth and was about to answer when she suddenly heard the sly voices of several people coming from the grass in the forest, "Boss, that fox got into the grass and disappeared."
