Chapter 318 Like that young wife arriving home for the first time
Evening, Huatianli residential area in Rongcheng.
Su Tianqing lay leisurely on the bed, looking at the news of the strange attack on her phone.
"The strange attack that occurred at the East Suburb Sports Center this evening has been dealt with by the Qiu Gui Squad."
"According to witnesses, the magical girl Kokoro Shingetsu has been spotted inside the sports center. The Hero Association is taking this very seriously and will continue to monitor Kokoro Shingetsu's movements."
"Oh dear, it seems the Hero Association is protecting Akiho quite well; they haven't released any footage of the stadium interior," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Qiu Gui is a magical girl whose career is on the rise. Her popularity, built up over several years, has earned her countless fans.
Perhaps the Hero Association was worried that seeing her embarrassed state on camera would have a negative impact? That's probably it.
Today's nitpicking wasn't anything new, and Qiu Gui's reaction was rather indifferent. It's probably best to delete the meaningless video and just post an update to explain the situation.
Su Tianqing logged into her Magical Girl Official account, opened her feed, edited it slightly, and clicked upload.
Good evening everyone in Chengdu~ I'm back from my trip to the port city!
[But unfortunately, Hyacinth and the others aren't in Port City, so I, Fox, found Miss Autumn Osmanthus, who happens to be stationed there~]
Below is a selfie, in which only half of the fox's head is visible, while the majority of the shot focuses on Qiu Gui, who is hanging hopelessly from the soccer goalpost.
Do you all like Miss Qiugui?
[If you like it, please leave a comment below~ Maybe it will unlock more poses for Miss Qiugui~]
Dynamic sending.
Su Tianqing casually put her phone aside, curled up on the bed to relax, and let her familiar collect today's mission rewards.
Double rewards! Double the Divine Stones!
This means the long-running Divine Stone deposit task is almost complete, and it seems it will unlock a rather special feature.
The golden fox retrieved the secret manual from the magical space, opened the quest page, and read it carefully.
【Task Chain 6: Mastering the Art of Spotting Differences】
Obtain a sufficient amount of Ancient Tomestones from daily quests, 2800/3000.
[Reward: Unlock the Ancient Divine Stone exclusive shop]
Ancient sacred stones...
Since I have no way to spend the money, I've saved it all up, and I've already saved around 6000.
I tried to observe the difference between it and ordinary sacred stones, but apart from the color, there was no difference. It felt like a reskinned currency.
Secret manual! Confess honestly, have you been slacking off?! How come you couldn't even spare a new texture?
After mentally criticizing the secret manual, Su Tianqing glanced at her steadily increasing bank account of Divine Scripture Stones and suddenly felt cheerful again.
After the battle in Hong Kong, his ability to stockpile monsters has greatly improved, and he no longer needs to use Divine Stones to buy monster capsules in bulk.
The cost of ordinary divine stones was thus reduced, returning to the slightly more generous figure of 5000.
...Is it really a comfortable situation?
The revenue from the Fox Police Movie, which I release on video websites, is higher than this! Not to mention the donations from wealthy viewers in live streams!
"Looks like I'll have to take this task seriously."
The golden fox secretly made up its mind.
Just as Su Tianqing was thinking about how to cause trouble tomorrow, the doorbell rang in the living room outside the bedroom.
"Ding-dong~"
"Oh, Tianqing, I'm cooking right now, could you please open the door for me?"
"Okay!!"
After tossing the secret manual into the magic space, the golden-haired fox girl jumped off the bed, slipped into her slippers, and ran to the front door, opening it wide.
A slightly tired-looking figure in a suit stood outside. He was surprised to see Su Tianqing open the door.
"Good evening, Uncle—" Su Tianqing greeted him immediately.
"Hmm? It's Tianqing. Good evening. Have you all returned from your trip?"
Su Tianqing recognized the person in front of her: Nan Xiaofeng's father, Nan Jiayu's uncle, probably someone of godfather level.
Nan Jiayu was cooking in the kitchen. The sound of the stir-frying over a high flame, along with the aroma of the food wafting from the kitchen, made the two of them turn their heads to look at her.
"...Is Uncle back? I'll cook tonight, Uncle, you should rest."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Nan's father smiled lightly and didn't stand on ceremony. Since they were all family, they chatted casually as usual.
Su Tianqing obediently began setting the table, displaying 1000% of her usual energy and efficiency in the apartment.
The catgirl, wearing an apron and with her hair tied up, came out carrying two plates of food and placed them on the table with great confidence.
A plate of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a pot of meatball soup and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the kitchen—this is quite a feast for a home-cooked meal.
"Hmm~ Little Fish is really good at cooking!" Su Tianqing exclaimed after tasting the delicious twice-cooked pork.
The catgirl chuckled.
"When I was in school, I didn't really like the food in Shanghai, so I often cooked Sichuan dishes myself. That's when I learned to cook."
"But speaking of which... Uncle, what about Grandpa and Grandma...?"
As if he had just thought of something, Nan Jiayu asked his father while eating.
Nan's father smiled and nodded.
"The doctor said it's just a common respiratory infection, and the condition is relatively good, but I need to stay in the hospital for a few days for intravenous treatment. I should be able to be discharged before the Lunar New Year."
"That's great..."
The catgirl breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Tianqing patted her with her tail to comfort her.
After finishing his meal, Nan's father packed some food into an insulated lunchbox and left to deliver meals to hospitalized patients.
The cat and fox stood side by side in front of the kitchen sink, washing dishes and chatting, enjoying a relaxed and comfortable home life.
"Uncle looks really tired."
Su Tianqing put down the cleaned porcelain plate in her hand and said.
"Yes, he has to work during the day and now he also has to take care of the elderly. Luckily, Xiaofeng and I don't need his help, otherwise his uncle would definitely be exhausted."
Nan Jiayu sighed and replied.
"But didn't my uncle say he was planning to hire a reliable caregiver? That should relieve some of his stress, right?"
"But it's almost the end of the year, and the company must be under a lot of pressure to meet its performance targets."
The two looked at each other in silence, then sighed helplessly.
"Life is really tough, but things will get much better once we get through this period."
"I hope so."
Anyone who saw Nan's father's difficult and tiring life would feel distressed. Fortunately, the two sisters, Nan Xiaofeng and Nan Jiayu, were not very troublesome, which could alleviate the pressure within the family.
But no matter how difficult life was, Nan's father survived the most difficult time and watched the two Nan sisters grow up. Life should be much easier from now on.
After washing the dishes and cleaning the pots, and tidying everything up, the cat and fox sat at the desk, calmly looking at the thick textbook on the table.
"Alright, let's get down to business today."
Su Tianqing rolled up her pajama sleeves, smoothed her tail, and said earnestly,
"Since you fell behind in many subjects last semester by secretly watching Xinyuehu's live stream every day, I'll be supervising your studies during the rest of the winter break!"
"learn!"
The cat salutes, with a serious and earnest expression.
"Let's turn to Chapter One. Today we'll review human anatomy and orc anatomy. First..."
The fox spirit's soft voice echoed in my ears.
Nan Jiayu's serious expression suddenly turned to surprise, followed by intense unease.
Oh no! I can't concentrate at all! My mind is filled with images of fox tails and the scent of gardenias!
Can self-study during the holidays really achieve the desired results?
Nan Jiayu took a deep breath, trying to let the scent of gardenias fill her mind, and stared intently at the book.
In order to be able to play with Tianqing again next semester, I have to catch up on these subjects!
As the bright moon gradually rose higher, two little heads huddled together in front of the desk, life going on as usual.
