Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce
Chapter 162: Episode 14.5 Before the Royal Rumble

Chapter 162: Episode 14.5 Before the Royal Rumble

While the threats were still brewing in the darkness, Shen Yuan spent his week of recovery thinking about what he should eat for lunch after breakfast, picking his snack while digesting his lunch, and worrying about his dinner while enjoying his tea.

In other words, all Shen Yuan did in those seven days of rest was fatten himself. Although everything inside his mouth is healthy, he will inevitably gain fluff and fats.

That’s why once the doctor permitted him to travel back to City B and said that his wound was healed well enough for him to do light exercises, he immediately hit their home’s gym, originally solely for Bai Tingfeng’s use.

Dressed in a body-hugging black tank top and sleek compression pants, Shen Yuan started his warm-up using the treadmill.

Running is an excellent way to condition one’s mind to focus before an intense exercise.

However, how is he supposed to do that when two pairs of eyes are pricking the back of his neck?

"Yanyan, how many sit-ups did your Papa complete in the past minute?" He asked the little workout buddy of Bai Tingfeng.

Actually, calling whatever Bai Tingfeng is doing a sit-up is already a stretch. Bai Tingfeng’s back never hit the mat because the man maintained a curled upright position ever since Shen Yuan started running.

Bai Tinghfeng is fixed in that upright fetal position while watching Shen Yuan’s perfect running form.

Yanyan frustratedly huffed and poted his little mouth. He stood up from sitting at his Papa’s feet before launching his complaint.

"Daddy! Papa didn’t complete anything! He was too distracted at your bum-bum!"

"Yanyan!" Bai Tingfeng collapsed on the mat, his face red after their son sold him out. "Baby, that’s not nice!"

"But I’m just saying the truth! Besides, Papa is the one who’s not applying your lessons. You said that once I have a task in hand, I should give my one hundred percent focus to accomplish it quickly!"

Thoroughly beaten, Bai Tingfeng stood up, messing his voluminous black hair. "Come here, Yanyan. Let’s ride the bike. That way, you can exercise beside your Daddy."

"Okay!" Yanyan was easy to talk to as long as it’s something to do with his Daddy.

Shen Yuan never stopped his pace as he watched the reaction of his hunky husband. In the back of his head, he knows that the alpha is just strategically retreating to avoid getting dragged into the hot seat.

He let that pass since his eyes, brain, and crotch are focused on some other thing.

"Damn, nice fair armpits... It makes me wanna dive right there." He thought.

But since his husband is present, the sly celestial fox spirit doesn’t let those words out of his mouth.

"You..." Shen Yuan drawled, his mischievous fox eyes fixed on Bai Tingfeng.

"What?!" Guilty Bai Tingfeng reacted even though nothing was said against him.

Shen Yuan laughed, gloatingly showing the back of his throat, "What’s with you these days? I’ve never seen you go out, and you kept hovering around me. Don’t you have work?"

"I have an injured husband who needs my constant attention. Don’t you think it’s only reasonable to stay beside him?" Bai TIngfeng reasoned out.

Shen Yuan was already late in counting how many times Bai Tingfeng blinked when saying that line, but he was sure it was less than five.

This alpha is not completely honest. That is what his fluttering eyelashes are telling him.

Pressing the stop button, Shen Yuan faced his husband, who was now riding the stationary bike.

Bai Tingfeng said that Yanyan will exercise at the same as Shen Yuan. But in reality, the boy is just cradled in the alpha’s arm. It was Bai Tingfeng who was riding the bike.

Doesn’t know how to make a lie, completely honest facial expression. Shen Yuan doesn’t understand how on earth Bai Tingfeng thought that he would let that faulty reasoning slide.

"Yeah. It’s super sweet. I love it," Shen Yuan rolled his eyes. "That is more touching for me if the patient in question is not 80 percent healed and is capable enough to run the treadmill."

He arched his body away from Bai Tingfen and made his ass pop.

"Bai Tingfeng, something has been weighing your head ever since the live stream ended. I just knew it. Would you tell me what it is?"

While his parents are locked in an intense stare-down, Yanyan looks at each of them as if watching a ping-pong match.

His Daddy is wearing that naughty smile, and his Papa’s face turns into a ripe cherry color as seconds pass.

"So, this is the look that makes Papa weak!" Yanyan noted to himself. He observed that whenever his Daddy used that smile, Papa would always listen to whatever his Daddy asked him.

Maybe in the future, he could also use it. Since between his Papa and Daddy, the stricter one is his alpha father.

Without Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng’s knowledge, Yanyan’s facial muscles twitched as he tried to recreate his father’s signature smirk.

"I-" True to what Yanyan expected, Bai Tingfeng gave up in the end. However, before he could say anything, he was saved when Gu Jinpeng entered the gym. In the alpha’s hand is the tablet showing a page of popular SNS, W.

"Master Shen, there’s someone— huh," the assassin-turned-celestial-fox-spirit-assistant lost his urgency and stiffened after the frowning Shen Yuan welcomed him.

Damn, did he enter at the wrong time?

"What is it, Assistant Gu?" Bai Tingfeng gladly welcomed the tensed alpha.

"I—" Gu Jinpeng stuttered.

If there’s something that Shen Yuan hates, it’s holding him in suspense. He thought he would finally hear what made Bai Tingfeng stick to him like a barnacle, but Gu Jinpeng had to ruin it for him!

"Just say it, Gu Jinpeng," Shen Yuan’s tone is irritated. "If that is not worthwhile, then you can kiss the 10 percent of your salary goodbye!"

All the hair in Gu Jinpeng’s body stood up in panic. Is that even legal?!

But thinking that it came from the omega who knows no bottom line, that willful salary deduction is bound to happen.

Trying his best to maintain his calm, Gu Jinpeng told his boss why he was there.

"Just this morning, an anonymous post trended in W. It was addressed to Master Shen."

The celestial fox spirit rolled his eyes, "Tell me something that surprises me, Gu Jinpeng. Since I did the live stream, my phone has never stopped ringing from the notification."

At the same time, Bai Tingfeng’s phone rang. The father stood up from the machine and took his son with him.

"Yes, Assistant Su?" The alpha answered the phone.

Yanyan has a sharp sense when it comes to his surroundings. Seeing that his parents suddenly became busy, he felt something was wrong.

Yanyan stopped practicing his Daddy’s expression.

"Papa, is everything alright?" the five-year-old’s small finger poked Bai Tingfeng in the arm.

Bai Tingfeng planted a kiss on his baby boy’s cheeks.

"Of course," he smiled reassuringly. However, that smile slightly fell when he heard what Assistant Su said from the other line.

Shen Yuan also sensed something serious had happened, so he cut his nonchalant attitude and asked Gu Jinpeng to explain further.

"This post is geared maliciously, Master Shen. It would be negligible if it’s a common snide remark about you, but this time, they told a believable story backed by evidence. So, right now, the internet is split into two. One side is throwing rocks at you, and the other protects you."

"Oh," That’s the only reaction Shen Yuan could muster.

Initially, Shen Yuan thought that he would be nervous once the fame came to bite him, and haters mobbed him like droves of fire ants. But now, he’s not even shaken. Maybe his arrogance and pride as a nine-tailed fox worked in his favor this time.

"Let me see it," Shen Yuan said, snatching the tablet to read the post.

[@JustAnotherOmegaHunter: Hi! I’m writing this post since I can no longer handle the emotional pain every time I read and hear praises for this certain popular omega. As my username says, I’m one of the few omegas who braved the treacherous dungeon industry. I’m a fan of strong awakeners, so when this popular omega raised our flag by joining the ranks of the strongest awakeners, I instantly became a fan and worshipped him even before his strength was proven.

Well, that is, until I had a very depressing encounter with him.

I was at my party when I met him inside the dungeon. At first, we were happy since he promised to help us. But as it turns out, it was just an empty promise made because of the camera’s presence.

When we needed help, he responded to us with a heavy heart! He burned our hunts to a crisp and even berated us for having a low skill level!

If you want to see if I’m telling the truth, you should check the pictures below. These are our evidence to show that my words carry weight.]

Throughout the whole post, Shen Yuan’s face was as calm as a still lake, but he instantly laughed hysterically when he saw the pictures.

The pictures are all burnt carcasses of Yetis.

"Everything in this post is anonymous except the subject," Shen Yuan said, giggling. "I just hope she’s got the gall to tag me in her post so that I could invite her and her friends to a kebab night."
