The Big Fox Is Fluffy And Cute

TL: Moonlit

After using the shielding device this time, Lin Su’s advancement didn’t trigger any anomalies. However, there was a noticeable change in Little Green.

With the emergence of its thin wings, Little Green now resembled a beautiful little fairy.

Little Green itself seemed to be fond of its newly grown pair of wings. Sitting on Lin Su’s head, its little wings fluttered with joy, and its big, shiny black eyes were filled with delight.

After reaching level 4, Lin Su felt that his scope of abilities had increased by more than double.

Lin Su seemed to have become even more adept at controlling natural elements. Now, beast patterns below SS rank were no longer a burden for him, and he could even attempt to repair SSS rank beast patterns.

When Lin Yue woke up, he rubbed his head in a daze and looked at Lin Su, asking, “How did I fall asleep just now? Are you guys alright?”

He turned his head to check on the sleeping Xia Jue, feeling relieved when he saw him breathing steadily, sleeping deeply and steadily.

“I’m fine, Third Brother. I feel amazing after the upgrade.”

After leveling up, Lin Su felt a surge of strength throughout his body.

However, William still worried about him and held his hand, saying, “Let’s go back and rest.”

Lin Yue smiled and said, “Even if everything is fine, you should still rest. I’ll take care of things here. Thank you, Xiao Su.”

“You don’t need to thank me, Third Brother.”

William pulled Lin Su back to their room and gently pressed him onto the bed. Lin Su’s bright black eyes were full of vitality.

Softening his heart, William said, “Even if you can’t sleep, lie down for a while.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Lin Su obediently lay down and patted the space beside him, “Come up here, I want you to keep me company.”

William, who had no resistance to Lin Su’s coquetry, lay down and willingly placed his big tail in Lin Su’s arms.

Embracing the soft, warm, and furry big tail, Lin Su buried his face in it, “William, let’s start repairing your beast pattern tomorrow.”

“No, we need to rest for two more days. Be good, no need to rush these days.”

“Alright.” Knowing that William cared for him and didn’t want him to overexert himself, Lin Su contentedly nestled in William’s arms, hugging his waist, “I’ll listen to you.”

William hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead.

Upon hearing the news of Lin Su’s upgrade, Qin Yi was ecstatic.

He carefully examined Lin Su.

At level 4, his purification ability was even stronger than before. The natural element content in the fruits and vegetables purified directly by Lin Su reached as high as 98%, just two steps away from a perfect 100%.

As for Lin Su, he had become more proficient in controlling natural elements after his upgrade. Now, SS-rank and below beast patterns were no longer a burden for him, and he could even challenge repairing SSS-rank beast patterns.

Although he had promised William to rest for two days before repairing his beast pattern, Lin Su couldn’t sit still. After informing William, he went to Qin Yi’s laboratory to start repairing C-rank female beats patterns.

For Lin Su now, repairing C-rank beast patterns was not too difficult, and the rewards in terms of experience points were relatively meager.

He completed the repair of 26 C-rank female beast patterns in the morning. Lin Su originally planned to have lunch with Qin Yi before heading home. However, he received a message from William saying that to celebrate the birth of the Little Prince, Will was preparing a banquet in the palace to treat everyone.

So, Lin Su and Qin Yi packed up their things and went to the palace together.

The Little Prince had grown a lot in the past few days, both physically and mentally. He was held in Will’s arms, not crying or making a fuss, but rather looking around with a serious expression.

Mu Yin had fully recovered. After the pregnancy, he had gained some weight, but over the past few days, with a normal diet, he had returned to his usual state.

At this moment, he walked over and extended his hand towards the little cub in Will’s arms, saying, “Come to female father’s arms.”

The little cub waved its small arms and reached out to Mu Yin. Will reluctantly handed the little cub to him, saying, “Still being affectionate with you!”

Mu Yin chuckled and said, “You’re jealous of this little affection? Come on, guests are almost here.”

“I know.” Will reached out to touch the little prince’s round head and smiled, “This little head looks just like mine.”

Mu Yin laughed and said, “Alright, alright, everything looks like you, okay?”

Will happily leaned over and gave Mu Yin a kiss.

When Lin Su arrived, he brought Yan Lie and Little Black with him.

Mu Yin looked surprised and asked, “Yan Lie is your contracted beast, Lin Su?”

Yan Lie followed Lin Su and, upon seeing Mu Yin, obediently crouched down. Little Black, on the other hand, curiously rushed forward but was held back by Yan Lie’s large paw.

In Yan Lie’s throat, a low warning sound came out, telling Little Black to behave.

Little Black obediently lay down on the ground, but its black eyes were restless, darting around.

Somehow, its gaze met the bright eyes of the Little Prince.

As their eyes met, curiosity sparkled in both of them.

The Little Prince reached out and pointed at Little Black, saying, “Ha!”

Little Black climbed up from the ground and imitated Yan Lie’s posture, sitting down while looking up at the Little Prince, “Mm?”

Being still young, Little Black’s language skills were not as developed as Yan Lie’s.

But as its father, Yan Lie could understand Little Black’s meaning with just this one sound. He explained, “It says it likes the Little Prince and feels very close to him.”

Lin Su, who had worried that they might reject each other, was relieved now and smiled at the puzzled Mu Yin. “Brother Mu, I didn’t know what gift to give you for the birth of the Little Prince, so I asked Yan Lie if he was willing to contract Little Black. Unexpectedly, they both accepted each other. Little Black is an S-rank contracted beast and can reach SS-rank when it’s fully grown. They can start building bonds from now on and grow up together.”

This gift was undoubtedly very precious to Mu Yin.

“Thank you so much, Lin Su. You have no idea how grateful I am. Don’t worry; I will take good care of them.”

Lin Su rubbed Yan Lie’s large head. “You can stay here for a while. If you ever want to go back to the forest, just let Brother Mu know.”

Yan Lie nudged Lin Su’s hand and said, “Thank you, Lin Su.”

Their contracted beasts didn’t mind forming bonds with humans; in fact, they even preferred it. They were just selective when it came to hosts. Now that Lin Su had found this host with unlimited potential for Little Black, Yan Lie was very grateful.

Growing up together since they were little would allow Little Black and the Little Prince to develop a deep bond during this period.

Little Black took the initiative to approach Mu Yin, stood on its hind legs, and gently touched the Little Prince’s soft fingers with its nose, as if trying to remember his scent.

Lin Su’s generous gift made everyone happy.

Once the Little Prince saw Little Black, he didn’t want to stay in Mu Yin’s arms anymore. He squirmed and reached out to hold Little Black. Little Black lay down, and Mu Yin placed the Little Prince next to its soft belly. The Little Prince immediately smiled and reached out to touch him. Although he was still too young to sit up, he already had the intention to cuddle with the big cat.

With Yan Lie and Little Black taking care of the Little Prince, Mu Yin didn’t have to hold him all the time.

After finding some free time, Mu Yin had a good conversation with Lin Su. When Will and William came over, they saw the little one lying in the embrace of a small black flame panther, happily playing with the creature’s tail. A larger black flame panther lay nearby, guarding the two.

The scene was heartwarming and harmonious. Even though Will had been privately informed about this matter and was mentally prepared, seeing it with his own eyes still filled him with gratitude.

William patted Will’s shoulder with a smile, saying, “No need to say thank you.”

Will wiped the corner of his eye, moved by the gesture, “Mm.”

The gathering this time was very fulfilling, and everyone kept on playing until late at night before parting ways.

After seeing the guests off, Mu Yin picked up the tired Little Prince from the back of the small black flame panther and also rubbed the creature’s big head. “If you two are willing, you can directly sleep in the Little Prince’s room.”

Yan Lie stood up, “Thank you, Your Majesty, but we are used to staying outside.”

“That’s fine, suit yourselves. If you need anything, just come find me.”

Orders were given to take care of Yan Lie and Little Black, and then Mu Yin carried the Little Prince back to the bedroom to rest.

After leaving the palace, Lin Su gently held William’s hand and said with a smile, “Tomorrow, I’ll repair your beast pattern. No more delays.”

Knowing that Lin Su’s patience might be wearing thin, and considering that he had rested well these days, William didn’t refuse anymore and nodded, “Alright.”

Receiving the answer he wanted, Lin Su smiled and hugged William’s waist as they strolled back home.

The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Lin Su and William exchanged a glance. Without speaking, they understood each other’s thoughts.

William went upstairs to change into a different outfit, and Lin Su brought in a prepared fruit platter.

Knowing that Lin Su was going to repair William’s beast pattern today, Su Jin purposely didn’t go to the shop.

Following Lin Su into the room, Su Jin helped him organize things and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be here watching over him.”

“Thank you, Female Father.”

Su Jin smiled and said, “No need to thank me, Xiao Su. Just take care of yourself.”

“I know.”

William lay on the bed, his golden eyes filled with tenderness. “I’m ready, you can start anytime.”

“It will be very painful, you have to hold on, William.”

“I will, don’t worry.”

“Alright.”

Lin Su had repaired the beast patterns for so many people, but William was the one who worried him the most. Little Green had already positioned itself on Lin Su’s head, its black eyes filled with joy as it looked at William.

Lin Su took a deep breath. “I’m going to start.”

Green light emanated from his palms as he placed his hands on William’s chest. The fine threads of his ability infiltrated the SSS-level beast mark, and the resistance inside was even greater than he had anticipated.

William subconsciously tensed his body, feeling a tearing pain that was several times stronger than the mental disorder attack he had experienced before.

The pain was almost like his soul was being torn apart, causing him to break out in a cold sweat instantly.

Lin Su remained solemn as he proceeded with the repair. Even though his ability had reached Level 4, repairing William’s beast pattern was still very challenging and progressed slowly. When Little Green had exhausted all its ability to recover, Lin Su had only repaired about one-tenth of the nodes.

When the green light disappeared from his palms, William fell asleep.

Lin Su weakly sat down and gave Su Jin a comforting smile, who had been worrying by the side.

It had been a long time since he had felt this exhausted.

Su Jin fed Lin Su some fruits with a tender heart and said, “Xiao Su, why don’t you take a nap too?”

Lin Su nodded and lay down next to William, closing his eyes.

Su Jin covered both of them with the blanket before quietly leaving the room.

When Lin Su woke up, William was still sleeping. Seeing him sleep so deeply, Lin Su couldn’t help but feel happy. Although William’s condition had improved a lot through daily consumption of purification fruits and absorbing the natural elements released by Lin Su’s ability, and he no longer experienced pain in the spiritual realm, his sleep was still unstable. Sometimes he would wake up even if he turned over.

But now, he could sleep so peacefully, and that made Lin Su really happy.

Lin Su leaned over and gently kissed William’s chin, then he touched the furry fox tail.

Quietly, he got out of bed and prepared to make some delicious food for the big fox once he woke up, giving him a good boost.

Su Jin heard the movement and looked over, “Xiao Su, you’re awake. How do you feel?”

“I’m fine, Female Father. You know me, no matter how tired I am, I’ll be fine after a good sleep. William is still sleeping, and it’s rare for him to have a good rest.” Lin Su went over and hugged Su Jin, “Seeing him finally able to sleep peacefully, I’m so happy, Female Father.”

“Your female father is also happy. I just hope both of you are doing well. Are you hungry? Your female father will go prepare something for you to eat.”

“I’m not hungry, Female Father. You don’t have to worry. Yesterday, male father brought back some fresh shrimp. I’ll handle them and make shrimp porridge. When William wakes up, I’ll give him a good boost.”

“Then I’ll learn from you. I’m not very good at cooking this batch of seafood that your male father brought back. They don’t have a long shelf life, and I’m a bit worried about it!”

Lin Su smiled and said, “Actually, seafood is the easiest to cook. You can steam them directly in a pot. But before serving, it’s still important to remind the guests to be careful about seafood allergies. I’ve already processed the seafood male father brought back, removing any impurities, so they can be eaten directly.”

“Just steam them?” Su Jin was somewhat skeptical, finding it too simple.

“How about I steam a few crabs for you to taste? Seafood is all about the freshness. Steaming helps preserve the original taste of the ingredients. Of course, you can also stir-fry it with red chili peppers for a more flavorful taste.”

Hearing Lin Su’s explanation, Su Jin felt enlightened, “Tomorrow, I’ll try it at the restaurant. If it works, we’ll have new dishes in the menu again.”

Lin Su removed the shrimp shells and placed them on a plate while Su Jin helped wash the rice.

When William woke up, he blinked for a moment and subconsciously reached out to touch the spot next to him. Not finding Lin Su on the bed, his heart skipped a beat. He sat up and glanced at the time, realizing that he had slept for quite a long time.

However, this sleep had made his body feel much lighter, and his mental state was even better than when he hadn’t suffered from mental disorders.

He got up and moved around a bit before opening the door and leaving the room.

The air was filled with the pleasant aroma of porridge.

Knowing that Lin Su must be cooking something delicious, William came downstairs and heard the voices of Lin Su and Su Jin talking in the kitchen. He walked over with a smile.

Upon seeing him, Lin Su immediately put down what he was holding, “How do you feel, William?”

William’s dog ears swayed, “I feel great, thank you. You worked hard.”

“It was not hard at all. I made some porridge. Have a bowl to replenish yourself.”

“Sure.”

William didn’t disturb them in the kitchen and went to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Su served the freshly made shrimp porridge and steamed crabs on the table and invited William to come over for the meal.

After finishing a bowl of shrimp porridge, William felt very comfortable with the warmth in his stomach. Having a good sleep and then having a satisfying meal made him feel incredibly content.

Su Jin nodded, “The porridge is delicious, with a perfect combination of freshness and stickiness. The crabs are even better. I never thought steaming them could be this delicious.”

Lin Su smiled, “That’s why, female father, we can start serving them in the restaurant tomorrow.”

Su Jin gave him a thumbs-up in response.

With the first repair of his beast pattern, William had undoubtedly relieved the burden that Lin Su had been carrying all this time. Recently, Lin Su became more relaxed, and his overall state improved even further compared to before.

—

At the research laboratory, Lin Su successfully completed the repair of all S-grade and below beast patterns for the volunteer females. Among these repaired individuals, a few of them unexpectedly gained purification abilities, which was undoubtedly a touching and surprising event for everyone.

However, what shocked everyone even more was the fact that two of these females were already pregnant. This sudden good news made these two females the focal point of observation and protection within the laboratory. It was crucial to observe whether these babies would have complete innate beast patterns upon birth.

Qin Yi arranged for detailed records to be kept for each stage of their pregnancies.

Lin Feng’s mission on North Star had come to an end, and after handing over his work to the North Star government, he was ready to return to the capital star.

The news of Lin Feng’s impending return delighted his family, as they were eager to be together as a whole family.

Lin Su had already performed two rounds of beast pattern repairs for Lin En, Lin Te, and Xia Jue. Before Lin Su’s upgrade, completing repairs for SS-grade beast patterns required multiple sessions, but after upgrading, it only took three sessions.

The visible improvement in the conditions of the three individuals after the two repairs made the whole family very happy.

Recently, Kane had developed a pond near the Ai Su Ranch, following Lin Su’s suggestion, to cultivate crayfish. These freshwater crayfish reproduced quickly, and though Kane had little confidence initially, as he had never raised such creatures before, it turned out to be a success.

Batch after batch of crayfish was produced and then spiced with Lin Su’s homemade seasoning. When they were introduced at the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant, they immediately received praise from the customers.

To celebrate this new addition, Su Jin even set a specific time slot during restaurant hours for customers to enjoy the crayfish.

Though the crayfish were small and not abundant in meat, they were incredibly delicious. Once someone tried them, they were bound to come back for more.

Customers would order a pot of white wine from the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant and pair it with the crayfish, making their dining experience incredibly enjoyable!

As night fell, the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant was packed with customers both inside and outside, and the business was even more booming than before.

Fortunately, with more and more graduates from the Ai Su Culinary and Dessert Academy, the Ai Su Gourmet Restaurant now had branches in various star domains across the entire empire.

The main restaurant provided them with top-quality ingredients and air-transported fresh crayfish.

In no time, the delicious taste of the crayfish spread throughout the entire empire.

Even Will and Mu Yin fell in love with this delicacy.

They would make some whenever they had the chance, watching videos or images while eating, living a comfortable and leisurely life.

In the blink of an eye, the Little Prince had turned one month old, and his interaction with Little Black became even more harmonious.

Early in the morning, as soon as the sun rose, Little Black would enter the Little Prince’s room through a specially opened passage and stay with him until he woke up.

In the palace for a month, Yan Lie found that Little Black had fully adapted to life there and suggested going back to the forest.

Children grow up and need to leave their parents eventually. Now was the right time, even though it felt a bit reluctant to leave Little Black, it wouldn’t be better for its independence if Yan Lie forcibly stayed here.

Besides, it was time for Yan Lie to have his own life as well.

Although Little Black was somewhat reluctant to see Yan Lie leave, it wasn’t lonely here. The Little Prince grew up every day, and they could communicate in their own unique way.

With Little Black’s company, Mu Yin felt relieved, and after a month of rest, he went back to school.

During William’s third beast pattern repair, Lin En, Lin Te, and Xia Jue’s beast patterns were finally completely repaired.

To celebrate this occasion, Qin Yi specially hosted a banquet at home.

Will and Mu Yin brought the Little Prince and Little Black with them to join the celebration.

As soon as they arrived, the little prince immediately became the center of attention.

Qin Yi couldn’t bear to let go of the little prince, showing a look of affection.

Lin En also looked envious and said, “I wonder when our family will have good news like this.”

He was getting a little impatient waiting.

Although Qin Yi had this matter in mind, he didn’t want to pressure the children: “This kind of thing can’t be rushed. You’ll have your turn sooner or later.”

Lin En chuckled, “I’m just joking. I’m not really rushing it.”

Leng Tang and Yan Qi exchanged glances, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Te gently hooked Leng Tang’s palm, making the little female blush even more.

For dinner, they specially prepared a seafood feast, along with plenty of spicy and delicious crayfish.

Lin Te placed the peeled crab into Leng Tang’s bowl, saying, “Be careful not to prick yourself.”

“I know, I’m not a child.”

“You’re always my baby in my eyes.”

Leng Tang looked at him shyly. Lin Te looked serious, but sometimes his words made him feel embarrassed.

He picked up the crab Lin Te had peeled for him and was about to take a bite when suddenly he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and vomited.

Lin Te was taken aback and quickly held him, asking, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

His reaction drew everyone’s attention.

Qin Yi stood up and asked, “Tang Tang, what’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

“It’s nothing. I just felt a little nauseous when I smelled this smell.”

Upon seeing him, Mu Yin’s eyes lit up, “Do you feel like vomiting when you smell this scent?”

“Yes, a little.” Leng Tang apologized, “I should feel better after drinking some water.”

Mu Yin immediately smiled and said, “Drinking water won’t help. Qin Yi, Lin En, didn’t you two want a cub just now? Well, here it is! Tang Tang must be pregnant. I bet if we check tomorrow, it will be confirmed.”

“Really?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi immediately smiled, “That’s wonderful news!”

Lin Su also didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence, “Congratulations, big brother. Tang Tang, you shouldn’t eat this seafood anymore. It’s not good for your body. Let me prepare something else for you.”

Saying that, he rushed to the kitchen before Leng Tang could stop him.

Suddenly becoming the center of attention and a protected subject, Leng Tang blushed all over, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Lin Te was overjoyed by this news, almost unable to contain his excitement.

The banquet, originally intended to celebrate their successful beast pattern restoration, completely shifted its focus.

Feeling the anticipation of everyone for the baby in his belly, Leng Tang was filled with happiness.

He gently held Lin Te’s hand and had a sweet smile on his lips.

William followed Lin Su into the kitchen and watched the busy figure of the little female. From behind, he embraced him and asked, “What can I do? Big Brother is not only married but also becoming the first to be a father. He must be ecstatic.”

After saying that, Lin Su turned around and lightly poked William’s chest, “Hey, are you jealous?”

William smiled and ruffled his hair, “I’m not jealous because I have you.”
