The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

Lin Su never expected that William would bring him back to the capital with such a purpose.

He didn’t find anything wrong with the way the Big Fox arranged it. On the contrary, he was quite pleased with the possessiveness that William displayed towards him.

The act of declaring sovereignty to everyone didn’t seem abrupt or hard to accept.

As an Imperial Prince, bringing his partner back with him was already an announcement that needed to be made to the world.

However, beneath it all, William had a small personal motive.

It made Lin Su find him irresistibly cute.

He reached out and gently squeezed the Big Fox’s soft ears. “So, how did you arrange everything? Can you tell me about it?”

William uncomfortably twitched his ears. He wasn’t very good at talking about things he had done, and more often than not, he preferred to do without speaking. But when Lin Su wanted to hear, he would speak without reservation.

“Bruno will publicly announce my rehabilitation on North Star along with your existence. It might attract some attention, but your identity won’t be revealed temporarily, so it won’t affect your normal life. However, returning to the capital star may not be as free as it is now. Lin Su, would you feel uncomfortable?”

William clenched Lin Su’s hand, holding it gently. The soft and tender touch of the young female made him treasure it and not exert too much force.

Lin Su held William’s hand in return. “It might feel a little uncomfortable, but I believe it will get better.”

William embraced him tightly. “Thank you.”

He would keep everything Lin Su did for him in his heart.

Far away on the capital star, Will received the news that William and Lin Su were about to return. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears during the meeting but managed to hold it back.

After the meeting ended, he quietly returned to his palace and avoided his queen, hiding in a corner and crying for a while.

Originally, he thought he could cry unnoticed, venting his emotions, but unexpectedly, Mu Yin, who had just finished class, bumped into him.

Mu Yin, dressed in a tasteful black suit, was a professor at the Imperial Advanced Contract Beast Academy. He had delicate features, a composed and introverted temperament, and a silver-rimmed glasses frame that exuded a hint of restraint and wisdom.

Seeing Will with reddened eyes, his black eyes tainted by tears, Mu Yin furrowed his brows and walked over quickly. He reached out and pinched Will’s chin, staring at him with his deep black eyes. “Another person hiding and crying. How long have you been crying?”

Will didn’t expect Mu Yin to suddenly come back and couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Don’t you have classes today?”

He had been crying for quite some time, and his throat was a little hoarse, giving him a pitiful appearance from head to toe.

Mu Yin let go of his hand but maintained a serious expression. “Don’t change the subject. How long have you been crying?”

“Just… just for a little while,” Will couldn’t look directly into Mu Yin’s eyes. He didn’t know if it was because of Mu Yin’s role as a teacher, but every time he was reprimanded by Mu Yin, he felt like he was back in his student days.

Although they were of similar age and had been classmates for a long time.

He knew a lot about Mu Yin, and Mu Yin knew a lot about him too.

Moreover, they had been married for several years, but he still felt nervous in front of Mu Yin.

Perhaps feeling that his tone was too harsh just now, Mu Yin retreated slightly, giving some space. “What’s the reason this time?”

As he spoke, he had already arranged for some pear juice to be brought in to soothe Will’s throat.

Will sat on the couch, and Mu Yin sat on the armrest next to him, gently pinching the back of Will’s neck to ease his emotions. “Are you happy because William is bringing his partner back?”

Knowing him well, Mu Yin could guess it right away, and Will nodded. “Yes, I really didn’t cry for long. Yin Yin, please don’t be angry, okay?”

Facing Will’s pitiful black eyes, and the pair of furry black dog ears that peeked out from his black hair due to emotional fluctuations, trembling gently, Mu Yin reached out and rubbed his head. “Don’t be coy. You’ve always known that I won’t be angry because you cry. I just don’t want you to hide secretly. Will, in front of me, you don’t have to conceal yourself. I will support you in whatever you do.”

Will’s trembling black dog ears became more intense, and his shiny eyes were full of attachment towards Mu Yin.

He reached out and hugged Mu Yin, burying his head in Mu Yin’s neck and nuzzling against it. “Yin Yin, you’re the best.”

Mu Yin indulgently patted him. “Let me hold the tail that’s showing.”

As soon as he said that, a fluffy black tail fell into Mu Yin’s embrace.

For Mu Yin, who had been teaching all morning and then unexpectedly discovered Will secretly crying alone, being able to hold such a tail when he was mentally and physically exhausted was particularly soothing.

The news of William and Lin Su’s return spread among the upper echelons of the capital star, prompting the protocol department to begin preparing for the welcoming ceremony for Prince and Princess.

Meanwhile, the long-disappeared Prince suddenly appeared on the media network, and this time, the related news was no longer about warfare but about the Prince having his own partner.

And they would return to the capital star soon with the Princess.

For a while, discussions about the Princess became a hot topic on various platforms.

There were many speculations about the identity of the Princess, considering that Prince William had been single for many years due to the war and his marriage was a matter of public interest.

Now, with the sudden news of his partner, it inevitably sparked curiosity among the public about the Princess.

However, under careful control, there were no negative comments.

Furthermore, the announced news did not mention anything related to Lin Su, so Lin Su and his family were not affected.

Since Bruno appeared, William’s subordinates who had been hiding their whereabouts no longer concealed themselves.

They boldly appeared in the courtyard.

Finally, they saw Lin Su, who had piqued their curiosity. The warriors were both excited and cautious.

Even though Lin Su prepared a sumptuous barbecue as a treat for them, each of them remained reserved.

To travel to the capital star, Lin Su had to bring many things. The various fruit trees in the courtyard, even if they weren’t planning to dig them all up, the fruits had to be picked and packed. Additionally, there were various seeds and a batch of domesticated livestock that needed to be brought along.

The warriors gathered and loaded the items onto the airship.

When they turned around, they saw the Black Flame Panther striding toward Lin Su.

Even though they had known early on that there was an extraordinary relationship between Lin Su and the contract beasts, and this courtyard even housed an A-class contract beast and an S-class contract beast as pets, seeing it with their own eyes still shocked them.

Yan Lie rubbed against Lin Su’s leg, then lay down, resting its big head on its paws. “Lin Su, you’re leaving North Star for the capital star?”

“Yes, Yan Lie, do you want to come with me?” Lin Su reached out and caressed Yan Lie’s big head. The little panther cub, seeing its father being petted, immediately leaped over, indicating that it wanted to come too.

Lin Su smiled and embraced the little cub, who had grown noticeably plumper recently.

Yan Lie flicked its tail, ignoring the gazes directed at it. “Lin Su, many contract beasts in the Star Mist Forest want to leave with you, and I do too.”

Lin Su was momentarily stunned, meeting Yan Lie’s beastly eyes and sensing the sincerity within. “You all want to accompany me to the capital star?”

“Yes, you are our king, and we don’t want to be too far away from you. But if you want us to stay here, we will obey your words and stay here, waiting for your return.” Yan Lie stood up and nuzzled against Lin Su, expressing affection.

A tinge of sourness welled up in Lin Su’s heart at Yan Lie’s words. “Let me consider it.”

Taking the contract beasts and heading to the capital star meant they would face the initial challenge of finding a place to settle them.

The contract beasts had never made any demands on him. Even if they made such a request, it was entirely based on his willingness, without any coercion.

Being accepted by the contract beasts was an unexpected occurrence for Lin Su. Animal emotions were simple and sincere. When he was wholeheartedly trusted, he didn’t want to disappoint their trust.

Yan Lie got the answer he wanted and carried the little panther cub in his mouth, leaping up into the trees and lying down.

The onlookers watched the Black Flame Panther disappear into the forest, a hint of regret reflected in their eyes.

Lin Su walked up to William and told him about his dilemma.

William listened attentively and looked at Lin Su. “Have you considered having them form contracts?”

When contract beasts form contracts with humans, it doesn’t mean death but rather a symbiotic relationship.

They share everything.

The abilities of contract beasts are influenced by their innate talents. If they reach a certain limit where they cannot break through, they have to wait for death. Only by forming contracts with humans can they advance alongside the humans’ progress.

However, the probability of humans experiencing mental disorders is too high during the contract formation process, and contract beasts have become more selective in choosing hosts.

As a result, many humans who have reached the contract formation stage cannot find suitable contract beasts.

They remain in an uncontracted state.

This is not a favorable situation for both humans and contract beasts.

William’s words happened to solve Lin Su’s predicament. “I understand. I will go and ask Yan Lie for his opinion.”

William smiled and said, “If they are willing, can I request this benefit for my subordinates?”

Lin Su looked at him and raised an eyebrow playfully. “Your Highness, are you using your connections for this matter?”

“Allow or disallow?” William lowered his gaze, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “As family members, they are your subordinates too.”

Lin Su reached out and pinched the ears of the large fox. “Of course, as family members, they can.”

William looked at the playful demeanor of the young female, his heart melting. He wanted to hide this beautiful Lin Su from the world and not let anyone see.

With William’s suggestion, Lin Su specifically approached Yan Lie to ask if they would be willing to accept the contract formation.

After listening to Lin Su, Yan Lie fell silent for a while before speaking, “The cub is still young, so I don’t have immediate plans for contract formation. However, those fellows in the Star Mist Forest might be willing. They just need to be chosen by them.”

“Tell them that after forming the contract, I will perform beast pattern restoration for them,” Lin Su said.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared in Yan Lie’s beastly eyes. “In that case, I believe they will all be willing.”

After all, for contract beasts, relying solely on themselves to break through genetic limitations would require a significant amount of time and effort. It might even be impossible to achieve in their lifetime. If Lin Su was willing to lend a hand, it would be even better.

Yan Lie carried the little panther cub in its mouth and disappeared into the sky above Farm No. 13 with a few leaps.

As an A-class contract beast, Tiao Tiao was not as highly regarded by the others as Yan Lie, an S-class contract beast, but it was the closest option.

In recent days, the warriors who came to the courtyard made intentional or unintentional efforts to gain some attention from Tiao Tiao.

S-class contract beasts were as rare as S-class contract beast humans and not easily seen, but A-class contract beasts were more common.

Therefore, among William’s direct subordinates, most of them were A-class contract beast humans.

And there were still some who had not formed contracts.

Seeing an A-class Long-eared Rabbit like Tiao Tiao, how could these uncontracted warriors not be tempted?

Even though the long-eared rabbit was not as formidable as a combat-oriented beast, its tracking abilities were outstanding.

So, in the large courtyard, Tiao Tiao lay napping in the shade while a group of people gathered around, excitedly watching. Whenever Tiao Tiao twitched its ears or licked its paws, it would thrill this group of people for quite some time.

Observing this scene, Lin Su couldn’t help but smile. If Tiao Tiao could speak, it would surely say, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen such an adorable bunny before?”

The constant chasing of rabbits by this group of people annoyed Bruno. “Go away! You have nothing better to do, right? If you have nothing to do, go back to the airship and train. Don’t come here all the time to look at rabbits. It’s not something you can just imagine.”

It was clear to see their intentions, but the reason Tiao Tiao had not formed a contract was because Lin Su didn’t want to.

No matter how envious this group of people was, if it couldn’t be done, it simply couldn’t be done.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Su suddenly approached and lifted Tiao Tiao, who was lying on the ground, gently patting its head. “Tiao Tiao, would you like to find a contract partner?”

Understanding Lin Su’s words, Tiao Tiao blinked its eyes and looked at the warriors in front of it, twitching its large ears. “Chi Chi1Anya… Is that you? XD!”

Struggling to free itself from Lin Su’s embrace, Tiao Tiao hopped over to one of the warriors and pressed its small white paws against the person’s shoe.

The sudden turn of events brought an abrupt silence to the atmosphere. Even Bruno became cautious in his breathing.

The onlookers who had been observing Tiao Tiao for the past few days couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at Lin Su.

Lin Su walked over, once again lifting Tiao Tiao in his arms. He looked at the tall male who had been chosen by Tiao Tiao. He was still young, with a hint of innocence on his face. “What’s your name?”

“My name is Weiss, Your Highness the Princess.”

“Just call me Lin Su. Tiao Tiao has chosen you. It is willing to form a contract with you. What about you? Are you willing?”

As Lin Su’s words fell, Weiss’s companions excitedly embraced him, expressing their happiness for him. Even if Tiao Tiao didn’t choose them, it was still good that their comrade had been chosen.

“I am willing, Your Excellency Lin Su. I am an A-class contract beastman, and I will take good care of it,” Weiss replied, his face showing obvious excitement. He never expected to be favored by the Beast God and chosen by Tiao Tiao.

Lin Su didn’t say much, and he placed Tiao Tiao in Weiss’s embrace. “Then, from now on, Tiao Tiao will be in your care. Captain Bruno, please record his name. After he forms the contract, I will restore his beast pattern.”

Originally, being chosen by Tiao Tiao was already a great thing, but nobody expected that Lin Su would also restore his beast pattern. A chorus of exclamations arose.

Bruno composed himself and restrained his excitement, nodding. “Alright, I will do it.”

Lin Su smiled and patted his shoulder. “Take them to the adjacent consultation room to complete the contract.”

Weiss held Tiao Tiao in his arms as he was surrounded by the crowd, making their way to the neighboring room. The group of people was ecstatic.

Lin Su couldn’t help but be moved by the camaraderie among these comrades who had experienced life and death together.

Knowing that Tiao Tiao, who had been living with Lin Su for a long time, was going to form a contract, Lin Feng immediately put aside his work and rushed out to document the process.

After Weiss was led into the room, in order to maintain a quiet environment, Bruno coaxed the others out, closed the door, and handed a spiritual realm enhancer to Weiss. “Calm your emotions first and strive for a successful contract in one go.”

Weiss sat down on the floor, with Tiao Tiao obediently lying on his lap, clearly satisfied with the owner it had chosen.

Lin Feng approached and said, “May I record the process from the side? I promise not to disturb you.”

Bruno, who knew Lin Feng’s identity, nodded and said, “We are more reassured with you here.”

Forming a contract was a dangerous matter for them as well. If something went wrong, it could potentially damage the spiritual realm irreversibly.

Weiss calmed down and opened the spiritual realm enhancer, tilting his head back to drink it. After a moment, he pricked his finger and connected Tiao Tiao’s blood with his own, closing his eyes.

In the gradually silent room, a dense and heavy spiritual fluctuation spread. Tiao Tiao’s figure flickered intermittently, and Weiss’s forehead was covered in fine sweat.

On the palm of his outstretched hand, a chaotic beast mark appeared.

“Ji Ji!” Tiao Tiao suddenly let out a cry, and its figure disappeared completely.

The next moment, an illusory rabbit phantom appeared behind Weiss and vanished without a trace in a flash.

Weiss slowly opened his eyes, filled with joy. “I succeeded, Captain!”

Bruno, who was watching nearby, exclaimed in surprise, “So fast, only 30 minutes?”

Even though forming a contract with an A-class contract beast was less difficult than an S-class, he had never heard of anyone completing the contract so quickly.

Lin Feng was also surprised by the time it took. He put down what he was holding and walked over to personally check Weiss’s condition. “Tell me how you’re feeling now.”

“I feel fulfilled. I can communicate directly with Tiao Tiao. Take a look.” Weiss raised his hand, and a small, fluffy white rabbit appeared in his palm, twitching its nose cutely, as if it were searching for the scent of treasures in the air.

“Let me see your beast pattern.”

Suppressing his suspicions, Lin Feng approached Weiss, looking at the previously chaotic and disorderly beast pattern in his palm. It had now become more complete. In his heart, he confirmed his earlier guess. It was true that contract beasts that had been with Lin Su for a long time would become different.

Lin Su had once told him that Tiao Tiao was originally a B-class contract beast but had upgraded to an A-class after absorbing his natural elements. This was probably what made Tiao Tiao unique.

Seeing Lin Feng remain silent after examining Weiss’s beast mark, Bruno grew worried and asked, “Sir Lin Feng, is there a problem with Weiss’s beast mark?”

“No, Weiss’s beast mark has become more complete. That’s probably why he was able to form the contract in such a short time. This contract beast has been raised by Lin Su for a long time, and that’s what sets it apart. Congratulations to both of you,” Lin Feng finally replied.

Weiss didn’t understand the meaning behind Lin Feng’s words, but he couldn’t contain his excitement at the thought of successfully forming the contract.

Pushing the door open, when his comrades guarding outside saw him, they swarmed around him, asking with concern, “How did it go, Weiss? Why did you come out so quickly? Did the contract succeed?”

Being surrounded by his comrades, Weiss listened to their questions with a smile on his face and raised his hand again, revealing Tiao Tiao perched in his palm.

Seeing the now smaller but more solid figure of the long-eared rabbit, the group couldn’t help but exclaim, “Success!”

“So fast! How long has it been?”

“It took only thirty minutes. It feels incredibly quick!”

“Weiss, I can’t help but envy you now!”

“Me too. If I had known we could form a contract, I would have asked two days ago. I wouldn’t have anything to worry about now!”

“Haha, stop it!”

After joking around for a while, they let Weiss go. He ran up to Lin Su and said, “Your Excellency, I have successfully formed the contract. Thank you.”

Lin Su had already heard from Lin Feng about Weiss’s contract formation process. “Congratulations. Rest for a while now, and tomorrow I will repair your beast pattern.”

What repairing the beast pattern meant was no longer a secret in their hearts.

Weiss tried hard to restrain his excitement and nodded solemnly. “Okay!”

After Weiss left, Bruno especially walked over and bowed to Lin Su. “Your Excellency Lin Su, thank you.”

“So, do you have to come and thank me every time a warrior forms a contract? You’re just making trouble. I find it troublesome too,” Lin Su said with a smile, though he said it that way, his face still carried a smile. “Captain Bruno, if you have time, go back and compile a record of warriors with different levels of micro-contracts. In a while, we can have a contract beast gathering. Prepare yourselves, warriors, and strive to be chosen by the contract beast you desire.”

After saying that, Lin Su raised his hand again and encouragingly patted Bruno’s shoulder before turning and leaving.

Bruno, who was left behind, stood still. The tall and sturdy male was stunned by those simple words for a long time.

Suddenly snapping back to his senses, he turned around and ran toward the airship. He had to share this good news with everyone.

Because he was moving too fast and filled with excitement, when he stepped onto the airship, he almost tripped over the stones beneath his feet.

William looked at his usually composed and restrained personal guard captain in a state of panic, shaking his head with a smile. Meeting the playful gaze of the little female, he raised an eyebrow lightly.

In this world, perhaps only Lin Su, this little female, could give them endless surprises.

While their eyes were locked, cheers erupted from the stealthily docked airship in mid-air.

“Long live Your Highness!”

“Long live the Princess!”

…

Lin Su raised his hand and beckoned to the large fox standing outside the courtyard.

William’s golden beast eyes flickered with interest, and he walked towards him. When he got closer, before he could speak, his chest’s lapel was grabbed. The next second, Lin Su pulled him into the room, pressed him against the door, and tilted his head to ask him, “Am I exceptionally outstanding today?”

William relaxed his body, allowing the little female to lean against him, and nodded gently. “Outstanding, so…”

Seeing him responding like this, a playful smile curved on Lin Su’s lips, revealing a cute dimple on his cheek. “So, you should give me some rewards, like…”

When the gentle lips pressed against his, William naturally tenderly embraced the slender waist of the little female and deepened the kiss…

1Anya… Is that you? XD
