After being called a pervert by her, Amber Livingston also realized that her secret surveillance was creepy, so for the next few days, even if Jasmine Hamilton walked the fox, she didn’t appear and only watched from upstairs.
Others might not notice, but Jasmine, having absorbed Magnolia Hearne’s demonic power along with the Power of Heavenly Path, could still sense soone’s gaze from over a dozen floors away.
This day, Amber had just finished today’s editing tasks when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, she saw her neighbor, Miss Jasmine, standing at the door with her fox.
"I have sothing urgent to attend to, could you please help walk my fox?"
Amber was incredulous, pointing at herself, "Are you sure you want to walk it?"
Jasmine simply replied,
"If it’s inconvenient for you, then forget it."
As she spoke, she was about to leave with Thalassa Hamilton when Amber hurriedly said, "It’s convenient! Very convenient for !"
Amber was a bit excited as she took Thalassa from Jasmine, and couldn’t help but ask,
"Can I take pictures and videos of it while walking?"
Seeing Jasmine looking at her, Amber quickly took out her phone to show her so secretly fild videos she had edited recently, fearing she might be misunderstood again.
Though the footage was taken secretly, Amber’s editing showcased Thalassa’s lively monts perfectly, with Jasmine’s figure heavily pixelated alongside.
"You called a pervert before, and I later realized it was my fault for filming your pet without your permission.
But rest assured, I haven’t posted these edited videos online; I won’t post anything without the person’s consent."
Jasmine looked at Amber and couldn’t help asking,
"You like foxes so much, why don’t you have one yourself?"
Pet foxes aren’t very common, but not impossible to get.
Amber thought for a mont, then said,
"You know, I once picked up a fox and kept it for a few days, but it feels like getting another one would be a betrayal to her."
The original fox, Jasmine: ...
"Rest assured, she wouldn’t see it as a betrayal."
Anyway, if raising another fox counts as betrayal, doesn’t filming other foxes also count?
Isn’t this what humans call the difference between physical and emotional infidelity?
Thinking this, Jasmine felt a little embarrassed, blaming Amber for leading her astray.
Not continuing the topic, Jasmine returned to Amber’s earlier question,
"You said you need consent to post these, right?"
Amber nodded and was about to ask for her opinion again, only to see Jasmine turn to Thalassa and ask,
"Do you agree?"
Thalassa tilted her head as if in thought, then nodded.
Though she’s an ordinary fox, having stayed by Magnolia Hearne’s side for long, she absorbed so demon energy and naturally beca more intelligent than other foxes.
If not for the city’s rule that pets must be leashed when walked, Thalassa would probably not even need a leash.
The two communicated as if no one else was around, while Amber cast envious and excited glances at her.
What a clever fox!
Definitely has gained intelligence like the Immortal Fox she picked up!
With Jasmine’s approval and Thalassa’s agreent, Amber began to include live streaming in her routine of walking her neighbor’s fox.
She posted previously edited videos as little stories, once more drawing in many followers.
The account that lost traction after the Immortal Fox went ho was revived again.
This ti, it wasn’t just because of the fox walking.
But because of the owner behind the fox.
With permission, Amber followed Jasmine a few tis to shoot daily fox-walking videos.
So observant netizens noticed.
At first, the owner caught on film by Amber was thoroughly pixelated, not even a strand of hair visible.
Later, the fox owner’s blurring was softened.
Then ca a clear hand.
Soon after, a clear body.
Then, her voice was heard in the video, followed by a gentle half-face.
The fans were paralyzed—
[I ca for fox-walking videos, why am I suddenly getting couples content?]
[Just announce it already, I’m exhausted from guessing.]
...
The real world, Sea City.
The first episode of the second season of "Inspiration" finished recording, not as popular as the first season, but still topping the charts.
Scarlett Jennings no longer paid attention to the live stream.
In order to prove that Elysia Xander used evil techniques to change her appearance, she planned to head to Peaceful City to find the girl from whom the appearance had been taken.
Elysia Xander had been expelled from the Mystical Sect with all spiritual power sealed by the Security Bureau Headquarters.
Without evidence, Scarlett couldn’t just accuse a stranger of being Elysia based on intuition.
But the Security Bureau hadn’t completely dismissed Scarlett’s suspicions.
They allowed Scarlett to act in the na of the Security Bureau Headquarters.
Scarlett specifically called Gregory Xander.
After all, it was winter break, so everyone was quite free.
Scarlett packed her things to go downstairs, and as soon as she stepped outside, a turtle latched onto her slipper.
[Take with you!]
[You used to call sweetie when you needed , now that you’ve found your mom, you’re ignoring .]
[You won’t even think of helping find a new host, and you let that dumb turtle bully ! It bites whenever it sees ! I don’t care, you have to take !]
The system’s complaints echoed relentlessly, and Scarlett picked it up, asking,
"Didn’t I already have the butler keep it in the glass tank, forbidding it to co out?"
The system fell silent at her words.
Scarlett looked at it,
"Did you climb onto the tank to provoke it again?"
System: ...
[I was just letting it know its place in the household.]
Scarlett was speechless.
Here you are, just offering yourself to be bitten, and you still dare to bla it.
Though thinking this, Scarlett still casually stuffed it into her bag.
Heading downstairs, she saw Magnolia Hearne sitting in the garden, watching Kingston Jennings paint.
Kingston’s health visibly improved lately, with soul nourishnt from Scarlett and the Jennings Family’s charitable deeds enhancing his rit, he was no longer breathless after a short walk.
Let alone that after Magnolia returned, he appeared much calr, even his artworks had beco brighter.
Scarlett watched from afar, feeling a sense of warmth from the scene.
She was about to greet them goodbye when she saw another figure approach Kingston first, saying,
"Kingston, tidy up and change your clothes, let’s go et a friend of mine."
It was Michael Jennings.
Kingston paused his painting, while Magnolia directly asked, "Which friend?"
Facing his sister-in-law, Michael didn’t dare take a commanding tone like he did with Kingston, simply explaining,
"A friend from my art circle, his family is into art too, I previously showed him Kingston’s paintings, and he thinks Kingston has considerable talent worth nurturing for future prospects."
Michael thought his arrangent was thoughtful.
His brother often criticized him for not caring about Kingston enough, so didn’t he just think thoroughly for him this ti?
Since Kingston’s health was better, it was a good ti to develop a career.
Though he couldn’t help with business, he could walk the art path, like himself; gaining fa would bring prestige to Michael as well.
Michael believed it was all reasonable, unaware that Kingston had already put down his paintbrush, picked up his phone, and without much thought, typed back,
[Not going.]
