Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce
Chapter 307: Episode 28.8 Creeping

Shen Yuan was known to have amnesia and therefore has no recollection of his student days. How sweet would it be if Bai Tingfeng tried to make him remember?

Song Yongnian had a clear romantic painting in mind, but, like the others, he is oblivious to the serious nature behind the S-class couple’s excursion.

Now standing in the isolated university archive, Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng came face to face with a magical projection screen created by the qilin’s powers. The scene depicted on the magical screen was the familiar entrance of the university and academy.

As expected, it showed the bustling scenes of cars and people coming in.

Nothing was unusual until something caught Bai Tingfeng’s attention.

"Hold up. This is weird. Why is that woman going back after entering the side gate? She didn’t seem to have something going on that would make her turn back." Bai Tingfeng described as he pointed at the oddly suspicious figure.

The said woman calmly made her way to the side gate of the academy, went in like anybody else and when one would think that she’s just a normal person who has business inside the school, she made a pointy turn and threaded back to the direction where she came from.

Bai Tingfeng’s adjective was on point.

"Weird, indeed. It looks like she entered the gate just to take a U-turn. I see no hesitation. No indication of flashes that she forgot something. Why go back?" Shen Yuan seconded, and just after he said that, he noticed another person acting the same way as the woman.

No, it isn’t just a single person but rather a considerable number of people of varying gender and age who did the exact same move as the first woman.

They came in different times, in different point of entries, and this is why it’s impossible to deduce if they all knew each other.

Shen Yuan can’t think of a reason why they are doing this. It put a frown on the celestial fox spirit’s face.

"Okay. Is there an internet trend going on? The people are walking like they are NPCs in a city-building game! It feels ominous that they are doing that in a school teeming with children. I don’t like it even a bit."

Shen Yuan turned to Yuqi, the Qilin. "I know you didn’t bring us to see these weird people going about their mundane ways. Tell us. What is going on?"

"You all know that the academy and university are my sanctuary, correct?" The S-class couple nodded in chorus. "Then you should know that letting humans with malicious souls step on my blessed grounds of learning. I cast a spell on the walls of this school that whoever harbours ill intent on the students, teachers and staff under my wing will never find their way into my university and academy."

"So, these malicious people are here to get our Yanyan?" Bai Tingfeng sharply asked. His serious face looked murderous in just a split second.

Yuqi waved her hand before Shen Yuan to calm him down. "Let’s not assume that fast. The police force on the campus is currently checking their identities. We can’t jump to conclusions. The trend of the previous years shows that most of these malicious people are petty criminals. You know, pickpockets are trying to get the most out of the rare opportunity the school opened to outsiders."

Shen Yuan stared at his husband meaningfully, "Yes, with the rich swarming around like flies, this place is surely a delicious pie they can’t wait to defile." He then turned to Yuqi, "Anyways, going back to you informing us about all this crime-fighting method or whatever you call it, I think you have probable cause to assume that this time, this isn’t just about petty crimes."

"Yes," Yuqi the Qilin snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the magical projection screen changed into a colorful graph. "The numbers this time exceeded my expectations."

Bai Tingfeng’s eyes fell on the staggeringly high bar of today’s failed entry attempts. "It almost tripled last year’s—"

"—which shouldn’t be the case since humans are not stupid. They realize that there’s a great power messing up their plan, so it’s only natural if they stop trying to break in. See the downward trend in the previous years? Something is up." Yuqi stared intently at Shen Yuan. "I don’t know what it is, but my instincts tell me to inform you about it."

"The assholes are making a move today," Shen Yuan told Bai Tingfeng as they are hurriedly walking back to the auditorium. The way they move looks like they grow a set of wings on their feet, swift and hurried. There are two reasons for this. First, Yanyan’s exam is about to end, and second is that their hearts are on fire after they talk with the Qilin.

"While I agree that we have to be extra careful ensuring Yanyan’s security, we must take time to ascertain that these people wanted what we thought they wanted. They did this before, remember? Starting something up as a smoke screen while they discreetly worm their way to their goal is their habit." Bai Tingfeng pointed out.

Shen Yuan appreciatively looked over his shoulder. "You’re not panicking."

"Nothing could make me panic aside for our son." Bai Tingfeng replied, then he quickly glanced back at Shen Yuan. "—And you, of course."

"Let’s just say that your mind gets clearer now that our son is being threatened. You really don’t need to prove you’re in love with me any chance you get." Shen Yuan smirked. "But for the record, you’re correct. These people are terrorists. They love frightening people with their lethal gimmicks that are almost straight-out horror movies."

Shen Yuan stopped ahead of Bai Tingfeng and looked at his husband with an intelligent glint in his mischievous eyes. "And do you know what’s the most effective scare in a horror movie? It’s the slow, simmering build-up of dread before a major jump scare. That’s what I think they are doing now."

"I will call Chairman Mao now to warn him. We have a major event happening this evening and a high-value prisoner sleeping in the anus of super-secured Diyu. We can’t afford for the Cardinals to mess with us today."

The celestial fox spirit then pulled his husband by the hand and pushed him towards the auditorium. Just in time, the door opened, and children slowly exited.

"While you, my honey, my love, will welcome our son with a big smile and congratulate him for a job well done."

"Yuan..." Bai Tingfeng uttered helplessly as he watched his husband swiftly slither away with a phone held up.

He watched those pair of gorgeous ass go away from him.

Well, his husband already knows what to do, and he can never win against his beautiful omega. All he can do now is to do as instructed: meet his son with a smile.

"Papa!" Yanyan ran and threw himself into Bai Tingfeng’s arms.

The little boy seemed to be shining more than his peers. Yanyan was the only one who didn’t look tired from the crowd of kids.

’It must be in the genes.’ Bai Tingfeng thought, remembering the face of his beautiful husband.

"How was it? Did you enjoy the test?"

Internally, Bai Tingfeng feels that the latter question is outlandish. Who enjoys taking exams? He didn’t know anyone who would answer yes to that question. He just asked because Yanyan looked like he had returned from the playground.

"Yes! The test isn’t that hard! It was pretty fun!"

"Lies~!" Xiaolun immediately cut in. The little boy is already in the hands of his omega dad. "It’s hard and I’m stressed because of it."

"What do little boogers like you know about stress?" Song Yongnian told his son, sounding both chastising and laughing. Just by the look of his face, one could tell that he’s proud of his five-year-old son.

"What I’m saying was true!" Yanyan talked to his friend’s face. "The teacher read us a story, and it magically came to life. It’s like Daddy’s power."

"An illusion spell!" Xiaolun chirped.

"Yes, an illusion spell. They told us the story of a fox spirit, and I love it!"

"Yes. I liked it, too... until the teacher asked us to retell it our own way. I drew it to the best of my knowledge. I don’t know if I did well, Daddy. Tests give me a major "migrate." I don’t want to do it again."

"Baby, it’s migraine. You learned that word poorly from your father." Song Yongnian told his silly son. He then said to Bai Tingfeng, "I guess. This is it. Finally, the exams are over."

Bai Tingfeng nodded, "Yes. And the results will be announced next week. All that is left to do is wait."

To everyone’s surprise, Shen Yuan suddenly appeared behind them. Yanyan and Xiaolun literally jumped while they were in their parents’ embrace when they heard the unannounced voice of the fox spirit.

"That sounds doable. By the way, Yongnian, are you and Wu Chen attending this night’s banquet?"

Bai Tingfeng looked at his husband and he knew that his beloved is up to something.
