Chapter 67: Foxys New Life
Now that Yu Sheng finally understood why Foxy could launch her own tails like projectiles, everything began to make sense.
He wasn’t entirely sure how other fox spirits operated in this world, but apparently, Foxy’s lineage had taken a unique path—one that involved some rather extraordinary abilities.
At the dining table, the fox girl sat across from him, clumsily gripping a pair of chopsticks. She was shoveling food from her bowl into her mouth at an astonishing speed.
It was just the simplest noodle soup, with a few greens, some sliced ham, and two fried eggs. But Foxy was eating as if it were the most exquisite delicacy in the world. Her eating manners weren’t exactly refined—but she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
Strictly speaking, this was the first hot meal she’d had in years. Though the biscuits and instant noodles Yu Sheng had previously brought her were appreciated, sitting safely at a dining table like now, eating a bowl of steaming food, was an entirely different experience.
“Slow down,” Yu Sheng said gently, watching as Foxy nearly finished her bowl in the blink of an eye. He felt a twinge of concern and lightly touched her hand. “There’s more in the pot if you’re still hungry. And that’s not how you hold chopsticks—look at me.”
Foxy lifted her eyes from the bowl and glanced at Yu Sheng’s right hand. While chewing on a fried egg, she awkwardly adjusted her own grip on the chopsticks.
She was a quick learner.
“Am I eating too fast?” Foxy asked a bit shyly after finishing her bowl of noodles. She noticed that Yu Sheng’s bowl was still half full, and beside him, Irene had a bowl in front of her that hadn’t been touched at all. “I just… always feel that if I don’t hurry, the food might disappear.”
