Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 239 - 153: A Classmate’s Mother, Su Baitao (2

Chapter 239: Chapter 153: A Classmate’s Mother, Su Baitao (2

Slap!

The slap landed heavily, even through silk gloves it made a crisp sound, leaving Yang Zhan’s face turned sideways with a clear handprint.

Yang Zhan was stunned by the slap, now both anxious and angry and aggrieved, muttering several times before finally spitting out...

"Mom!"

The cafeteria was once again in an uproar.

This is Yang Zhan’s mom?

The wife of the West State City’s Immortal Technique Committee chairman, founder of Baitao Medical Beauty chains—Su Baitao?

But Su Baitao ignored Yang Zhan and instead turned to Bai Mo and bowed.

"As Yang Zhan’s mother, I apologize to you on his behalf.

"I’m really sorry!

"Could you please let go of him?

"Violence is not the solution, we can discuss a better plan."

Bai Mo let go of Yang Zhan’s hand.

He examined Yang Zhan’s mother, seeing this woman with her hands crossed in front, her almond-shaped eyes looking over, seriously and sincerely.

"The solution is simple.

"Do what needs to be done." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Su Baitao nodded.

"Thank you."

Then she looked at Yang Wan beside her.

"Call the West State City’s Immortal Technique Committee and report Yang Zhan for misusing Immortal Technique."

...

The university students’ videos spread online, causing quite a stir.

But Su Baitao didn’t seem very concerned about the public opinion.

Instead, she asked Teacher Chen from admissions and Fang Xiaoyu to speak on their behalf, utilizing the social fronts, personally bringing gifts, along with quail-like Yang Wan, to Bai Mo’s home, sitting on Bai Mo’s worn sofa, to apologize face-to-face.

"...Yang Zhan, this child, lacked some discipline growing up, while receiving excessive pampering.

"Regarding today’s matter, I actually appreciate it.

"It’s good that he learned a lesson.

"You all will continue studying and living in the same class, I hope you can mend the rift in your relationship soon."

Su Baitao changed into a black strap silk gown, which contrasted with her shoulder’s skin, making it even whiter and more delicate. And the contrast with Bai Mo’s worn sofa made the sofa look even more shabby.

Bai Mo sat opposite on the couch, not really concerned about the messy situation.

Yang Zhan’s mom was so earnest, seemingly really wanting to amend things for her son, very afraid her son would make enemies before school even starts, making him feel rather embarrassed instead.

Seeing Su Baitao and Yang Wan seated side by side, the comparison made Su Baitao’s figure even more... sleek where it should be, round where it should be, quite like a plump and juicy peach!

She slightly bent over, even reached out and held Bai Mo’s hand, slender fingers wrapping around Bai Mo’s.

"Actually, Yang Zhan, this child, isn’t inherently bad.

"That talisman of his was a Body-Stabilizing Talisman, wouldn’t harm an Immortal Beast.

"According to regulations, misuse of Immortal Technique requires squatting in the cell for a full month!

"Sleeping in a large communal bed, stepping on sewing machines, eating cornbread.

"You can check anytime!"

Bai Mo, having his hand held, felt even more awkward.

When Su Baitao leaned forward, her neckline drooped, a glimpse of white inside distracting Bai Mo, causing him to hastily avert his gaze.

Yang Wan beside also noticed these details, feeling uncomfortable and awkward.

But her mom seemed oblivious, continuously holding Bai Mo’s hand, leaning forward regardless of neckline, uttering soft apologies.

Bai Mo sat awkwardly, suddenly realizing that the hand pulled over, the drooping neckline... was all intentional!

Her previous chiffon long dress was tighter, the neckline wouldn’t droop.

This black silk gown with its straps was even designed with a loose neckline. Now the neckline was drooping, the wind from the air conditioning could even blow inside, she couldn’t be unaware.

Bai Mo frowned.

He heard that Su Baitao came from a poor background, later struggled her way up, successfully founding a chain medical beauty company, a proper female lead.

So, were the neckline, whiteness... all the female lead’s bargaining skills?

After chatting a while, Su Baitao prepared to say goodbye.

"Oh right!

"Auntie also brought you some snacks; it’s a specialty from our Dongguo City.

"Called Egg Yolk Peach Crisp.

"This snack, Yang Zhan and Yang Wan both love it, must eat it every day, missing a day makes them uncomfortable, almost like an addiction.

"Hahaha, I don’t understand, how can one get addicted to snacks?"

"These two guys are little gluttons too."

"Try this pastry. If you like it, tell Auntie, and I’ll send more to you."

"Oh right, let’s add each other on WeChat."

"Whenever you feel like having pastries, just let Auntie know."

"And if Yang Zhan and Yang Wan do anything outrageous again, you tell Auntie too."

After adding each other on WeChat, she left gracefully with Yang Wan.

...

The night was deep and the wind howled furiously.

In the main hall of the dormitory on Fox Mountain, a group of foxes sat in a circle, sipping soda, gathered around Black Claw, listening to its stories of the present world. A gleam of gossip sparkled in their dark red eyes!

"...whimper whimper howl howl..."

Black Claw gestured animatedly, but was suddenly interrupted by Black Nose at a certain point.

"Howl howl whimper?"

...So, did you get to try the lamb chops at the Golden Emperor Hotel?

"Howl howl whimper?"

...Were they good?

The brothers craned their necks, eyes wide, swallowing their saliva, looking towards Black Claw.

But they saw Black Claw shake its head.

"Howl howl howl!"

It raised a box of pastries!

These were peach pastries stored in an intricately carved wooden box.

Master said this box of pastries sells for thousands online, even more expensive than the lamb chops at the Golden Emperor Hotel!

Howl?

Very expensive?

Tasty?

All eyes turned to them.

The brothers in other parts of the hall also looked over.

But is one box enough to share?

Black Claw didn’t think that much before opening the box directly, revealing small compartments inside, each holding a piece of peach pastry.

"Howl?"

Its nose twitched slightly and immediately sensed something unusual about the smell!

This is a very ordinary peach pastry, but it has herbs added!

Bai Mo, sitting on the bed not far away, explained to the disciples.

"Indeed, a few kinds of herbs were added, probably the secret recipe of an old brand... They relieve greasiness, bring sweetness aftertaste, promote salivation, aid digestion. For special groups of people, it might have a slight addictive nature.

"But the dosage is very, very small, not affecting health.

"If you like them, eat them. If not, just leave it."

The foxes pricked up their ears to listen to the master’s explanation, looked at the soda in their paws, then at the pastries, and suddenly found them unappealing, giving a "snap" to close the lid, ignoring them.

Black Claw sat directly on the box again and continued to tell its story.

"Howl howl howl, whimper whimper..."

Sitting at the bedhead, Bai Mo held a tablet, guarding several kinds of herbs, slowly researching the formula for the Ear-Enlightening Soup.

"I always feel like there’s something not quite right somewhere?"

The herbs in the formula aren’t very common, and the combination is strange too. It always feels like this formula might have some strange effects if consumed.

"Moreover, why is this formula recorded on the cornerstone of a gallows?"

Bai Mo pondered for a long time, then let a disciple go to the nearby cabinet to fetch a pot of mushrooms.

This pot of mushrooms was earth-colored, human head-sized, and looked like a human head, with features like ears and nose. Inside, it even had structures resembling skull, nerves, blood vessels, brain, meridians, and was specially cultivated by Bai Mo for testing medicine.

At this moment, Bai Mo used several herbs from the formula, placed them in his palm, quenched them with pill fire, and amid steam and flying ash, extracted a few drops of medicinal liquid. He then tried applying the medicinal liquid to the mushroom’s ear.

The liquid seeped in with a "zzz" sound; as the mushroom’s ear absorbed the liquid, it trembled slightly.

The divine sense detected that the nerves and meridians in the ear area were changing, becoming either more active or undergoing evolution and reorganization.

"This is all normal.

"The Ear-Enlightening Soup is, after all, a medicine for ear evolution."

But where did this inner unease and hidden worry come from?

Bai Mo frowned, and the divine sense continued probing, delving into the human head mushroom’s internal structures to explore neurons, nerve bundles, and the cerebral cortex... Although this was just a model, a fake, the majority of reactions post-medication could be simulated.

"What’s really going on?"

Bai Mo took a deep breath, just about to increase the probing intensity when suddenly he saw the human head mushroom tug at the corners of its mouth... and it smiled!

This test model for drugs, it smiled!
