"Humph~" Qiu Qingtang let out a soft snort and suddenly chuckled, "Even if you want to leave, I won't let you go~"

"What, you want to lock me up?"

Lu Jin'an teased, but Qiu Qingtang showed a meaningful expression at that moment.

Looking into her rosy eyes, Lu Jin'an's smile gradually faded. After some probing, his expression became serious.

He opened his mouth but suddenly did not know what to say, his expression turning somewhat dazed.

Around them, Yun Duo, Miao Tong, and the others initially felt disappointed upon hearing Qiu Qingtang's voice, but as Qiu Qingtang displayed a meaningful expression, they all suddenly understood and couldn't help but whisper with girlish laughter.

Listening to the sounds around him, Lu Jin'an's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but say to Qiu Qingtang, "Wait, you..."

Qiu Qingtang giggled with a few hints of pride in her expression.

To the side, Yun Duo, who had been covering her mouth and laughing lightly, stopped her laughter, leaning forward to reveal a fair patch while blinking her rosy eyes teasingly, almost explaining, "Saint Lu, didn't your Human Clan categorize us Fox Clan into the canine family?"

Lu Jin'an turned to look at Yun Duo, "I know, but if I'm affiliated with the Fox Clan, shouldn't that be my reason?"

After a pause, having thought through all the Fox Clan intelligence in his mind, he continued, "Fox Clan doesn't have this saying!"

After all, historically, the Human Clan has naturally analyzed the captured members of the Demon Clan, but they never discovered this trait in the Fox Clan.

"This is a trait unique to our Qiu Family~" Yun Duo blinked her eyes, "It's precisely the opposite of the rest of the Fox Clan..."

We've always maintained a friendly relationship with the Human Clan, so it's normal that you wouldn't know this~"

This indeed makes sense...

Due to this layer of friendly relations, not only has the Human Clan never encountered the Qiu Family on the battlefield, but even when occasionally helping the Qiu Family capture traitors, they use them for benefit exchanges and don't conduct research.

But...why hasn't any related intelligence emerged?

"Young Master Lu~" Qiu Qingtang leaned closer to his ear, "Of course, we must keep this characteristic secret. Otherwise, if everyone knew, wouldn't our Qiu Family be hunted by the Royal Court?"

Though the Demon Clan rarely marries to keep their bloodlines pure, the union of superior bloodlines often brings surprises, and the Qiu's Fox Clan naturally falls into the superior bloodline category. Adding this characteristic, being coveted is indeed a fact, but...

Lu Jin'an furrowed his brows, "This reasoning doesn't quite hold up."

In the Demon World, the Qiu Family couldn't conceal such a thing so perfectly.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore~" Qiu Qingtang's eyes flashed with amusement, "Actually, this isn't exactly the Qiu Family's trait, because this characteristic evolved about two thousand years ago. By my generation, it's basically like this~"

This reasoning is much more plausible now.

Lu Jin'an relaxed his brows, eyes showing an odd expression, "So you could say it's an instinct that your Qiu Family specially evolved for reproduction."

"Yes." Qiu Qingtang nodded, "Does Young Master Lu find it surprising?"

Surprising...indeed, it is surprising.

Lu Jin'an nodded with a smile and then asked, "Is this trait only apparent during certain special times?"

"Hmm." Qiu Qingtang nodded, her expression showing a hint of disappointment, "Because it's a trait evolved for reproduction, it can't be actively controlled right now."

"No wonder you fox spirits." Lu Jin'an sighed, "Only your flirtatious foxes can evolve such a trait; other demon beasts can't imagine this."

Qiu Qingtang raised her chin proudly, "Of course, besides, doesn't Young Master Lu like it?"

"I do like it, so...how long will it last?"

"This is the final change during this period, and it won't last long..." Qiu Qingtang whispered, leaning closer to Lu Jin'an's ear, "Three days~"

"How, how long?"

"Three days~"

This time, it was Yun Duo, Miao Tong, and the others speaking in unison.

"..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Lu Jin'an fell silent. Though for cultivators, three days isn't long, for him, a lover of beauty, it indeed feels quite lengthy.

In this state, nothing else can be done.

Truly, henceforth the Saint Heir won't attend to court matters.

"Young Master Lu~" Qiu Qingtang gently caressed his cheek, "Do you remember what I said before?"

"Hmm?"

"I'll give you a hundred children, and divide all your wealth~"

Had it been before, upon hearing her words, Lu Jin'an would've responded indifferently, but with this trait evolved from the Qiu's female foxes, who knows if there are other additional traits?

Since it's a trait evolved for reproduction, theoretically, having at least five offspring per birth, Qiu Qingtang's words may indeed come true.

Is this part of her plan?

Lu Jin'an took a deep breath, trying to stand up, but Qiu Qingtang frowned tightly at that moment, "Young Master Lu, show some pity for me~"

"..."

Lu Jin'an's mouth twitched, "It really is the canine family."

Qiu Qingtang bit her lip gently, snuggling into his arms, saying nothing again.

Lu Jin'an took a deep breath, quickly calmed his mind, and since there's only one thing to do, he might as well focus on doing it well...

He directly held Qiu Qingtang and moved to sit behind the desk. Before he could speak, Qiu Qingtang said softly, "If Young Master Lu feels bored, you can kiss Yun Duo and the others~"

Lu Jin'an chuckled, "Really?"
