Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 140: Episode 12.7

Shen Yuan’s gait was strong and steady when walking into the chilly trail to the Taiyuan Ice Dungeon. He’s treating the uneven path as if it’s the runaway and slaying it hard.

He didn’t intend to be so standoff-ish, but when he wore the damned million-dollar hanfu, he realized that acting sweet and timid was not the right attitude when wearing it.

He needed to stand straight and spread his flat chest as wide as possible.

His son, Yanyan, said this to him when he was preparing for the job, "Daddy! Your hanfu have cool tails so, you must be confident when you wear it! I love it, so I’m sure people will love it too!"

Remembering his son, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but close his eyes. This is the first time he’s miles away from his son, and he’s getting sentimental and wishes that this job would finally end!

He also recalled that his son was teary-eyed when he bid him goodbye. Yanyan didn’t want him to go, but the little man still bit his lips and waved his hands at him, saying that he should return early.

Bai Tingfeng also wanted to come with him, but since he needed to look after their son, he had no choice but to take a step back.

"Hell, I’ll make sure that I’ll end this trouble as early as now!" Shen Yuan was deep in his thoughts when he heard the roar of the hunters ahead of them.

"What is wrong with these people?" Shen Yuan turned to ask Hu Feng, his heteromorphic beta member, looking genuinely confused.

Hu Feng looked at the omega, his mouth agape.

Is their leader being serious right now?

The gentle cold wind is swaying the straight platinum blonde hair over the omega’s delicately sharp, tantalizing eyes, giving him the vibe of a real enchanter of men. His boss’ beautiful ombre hanfu is also working to his advantage, and the cuts of the cloth ultimately emphasize his sexy torso and strong yet slim arms.

Talk about flaunting the assets while not showing everything.

The snowy complexion of Shen Yuan also blends perfectly with the transition dark blue and white of the hanfu. It makes his god-given feature pop even more, making everyone with eyes — at least familiar with beauty— look at him and never look away.

"Master Shen, please don’t be too humble. We all know that everyone is hyped up once they see you," a man with a tight leather suit and camera responded. He’s Lee Jihyuk, the internationally known photographer Madam Zhen hired for today’s shoot.

Aside from working in both fashion and literary photography, he’s also a certified C-Class hunter in his home country.

Going back to when Shen Yuan told Madam Zhen his concern, he strongly demanded that whoever staff would be working for this shoot needed to be at least able to stay safe inside the dungeon. They could be an awakener with basic self-defense knowledge and fit or an active hunter.

Madam Zhen completely understood the reason behind this was for the safety of the staff, so she quickly looked for someone who fit the description.

That brought back to Lee Jihyuk.

"You’re overpraising me, but thank you. That made me calm my nerves," Shen Yuan’s cheeks stretched for a smile, revealing his deep, charming dimples.

He slightly adjusted the lapel of his hanfu as the breeze became strong enough to move it a little.

The wind was chilly for a normal awakener, but thankfully, his expensive wardrobe was not just for show; the Steel Silk Archne’s silk could naturally stabilize the body temperature, so Shen Yuan had no problem with the cold.

Shen Yuan turned to the other two staff that came with Lee Jihyuk. They are an assistant photographer and sound engineers, respectively, and both had hunter licenses from Country C’s Hunter Association.

"It’s getting colder. Are you guys okay? I hope your fur coats are giving you enough comfort," He asked them. It’s not like he could do anything to make them feel better. He’s just asking to make them ease up.

Looking at how they stood, they seemed stiffer than a frosted street post.

"It’s okay! We are okay!" The two banged their head as a nod.

Is this their natural reaction towards an S-Class awakener? Or was it because he’s a model? Shen Yuan wondered.

Well, regardless, Shen Yuan determined it would only be counterproductive if he kept being excessively lovely to them. They have goals, and he’s betting on their professionalism.

The celestial fox spirit turned to Lee Jihyuk, he wiped off his smile and replaced it with neutral expression, "From here on out, I’ll let you do your job of documenting me for the action scenes of the commercial. I highly advise you to stay close to me to be safe. And in an advent, when there’s an unprecedented danger happening inside the dungeon, you turn around and leave. My partner here will support you so that none of you dies in the dungeon."

Lee Jihyuk blinked at the S-Class omega.

He did not expect Shen Yuan to change from an amiable, handsome young man to a strict, charming leader.

He was so enthralled at the enchanting change of air of the omega that he didn’t realize that he was nodding his head in agreement.

Satisfied, Shen Yuan walked towards the awaiting hunters. Their mouths gaped like a sinkhole, or their eyes were about to explode like popcorn.

There are only a handful of hunters there who look normal. Some of them are his members who are undercover to stay close to their target (the individual they should protect).

Shen Yuan exchanged knowing looks at Li An and Wen Huian, and the two alphas blended into the crowd. They know what to do, and they should start positioning themselves around their target, who goes by the name Qin Mian.

"Hello, before we enter the dungeon and put one of our feet to the grave. Let me introduce myself first," Shen Yuan confidently stood before the tall crowd. His hands were placed on both his hips, making him look bigger and more intimidating than he should be for his size.

"I’m Shen Yuan, the officer-in-charge and dungeon marshal for today’s exploration."

"Huh?!" The collective reaction of the hunters is present.

"Holy- we are getting an S-Class awakener as a marshal? Is this for real?"

The entire mountainside became engulfed by the murmuring of hunters who couldn’t believe what they heard. S-Class awakeners are unreachable entities for these ordinary folks. They are as good as legendary beings that they could only hear and see in books and on their phone and computer screens.

Like Chairman Mao, most of them handle extreme and dangerous dungeons, so they couldn’t meet one even if they loitered around high-level dungeons. That’s how rare it is for them to see S-Class awakeners.

But now, they are told Shen Yuan will be their dungeon marshal. Is this a prank pulled by the Hunter Association? What a good yet unbelievable prank!

This scenario was captured by Qin Mian, whose livestream is still running. Just like the hunters here, the viewers are also going wild.

[Fuck! Fuck! What kind of shit luck is this? Daddy Mian, please share some of your luck with me! I want to meet Shen Yuan in person, too!]

[Wait, how come Chairman Mao made Shen Yuan a dungeon marshal? That’s an S-Class Awakener we are talking about!]

Qin Mian saw these bullet comments, and he’s internally resonating with their questions.

Why is an S-Class like Shen Yuan here to be their support? This is the most random thing that could happen before they enter the dungeon!

No matter how composed they are before, it’s inevitable that some of them are shaken to the core.

Shen Yuan smirked at the expression of the hunters. "I know you’re surprised to see me here. So, let me get you on a little bit of truth here. You guys know that I’m new to the industry, right? I need to start somewhere to learn, and you guys are fortunate to be my classmate! Isn’t that amazing?"

Still, the hunters remained.

Shen Yuan’s smirk twitched. What’s up with these guys?

"Don’t worry; I will not terrorize nor interrupt your business. Like any marshal, I will leave you to do your thing inside the dungeon. Kill monsters, get materials, you can do it just like usual. I will not do anything to you as long as your actions are within the allowable threshold set by the H.A."

"You know the drill. Focus on hunting once inside. No fighting, and all equipment shall be checked first before entering. No explosives of all kinds are allowed."

The celestial fox spirit scanned the faces before him. Taiyuan Ice Dungeon is an enormous dungeon that could accept at least 50 hunters.

Now, he’s got more than 60 unfamiliar faces to watch over.

Coincidentally, his eyes landed on their target. "Also, since you guys will be under me for now. I could guarantee you will go home alive and complete with limbs as long as you behave. I take my responsibility quite seriously no matter what I do, you see."

This obviously shook Qin Mian, and he wondered if he had ever misbehaved before.

Little did he know, it wasn’t targeted towards him. Instead, it’s the ones who are sitting in the shadows and waiting to strike him.
