Raising a Fox Spirit in My Home

Chapter 19

Chapter 19: The Gold Pill Awakens

Just as the little fox was feeling vexed, the television near her side happened to be showing "The Storm of WW2".[1] A dignified and solemn voice said, "Common Era 1941, Hitler launched World War II, Germany attacked Poland..."

Su Chan gave a start. She widened her eyes and looked toward the television, surprised and curious, as if she could not understand why there a person's voice coming out of the television.

She inquisitively moved close until she was right in front of the television, investigating it by touching and tapping.

Before coming down from her secluded mountain, she had heard of various things of the mundane world from her master, including metal carriages that could run, flying machines that could fly, but she had never before seen a television.

Su Chan played around with the television for a while. She could not discover any profound mechanism, so her interest waned. She could not resist getting lost in thought about herself and Li Yundong.

Just as she was deep in thought, a tank suddenly appeared on the television screen slowly raising its cannon. The barrel of this cannon slowly lifted upwards. Then with a bang sound, it fired!

The little fox received a scare. Incensed, her fist struck toward the television.

There was a bam sound, which Li Yundong heard from inside the kitchen. He rushed out to take a look and instantly petrified by what he saw.

The television on the wall had fallen down and broken into two parts. The place where the two split was actually still giving off sparks with a electric buzzing sound.

Li Yundong was speechless. He stupidly said, "Wha-what happened here?"

Su Chan pointed at the television in a rage and said, "There's someone inside there that scared me!"

Li Yundong almost fainted. His face looked like he did not know whether to laugh or cry. "This is a television, my little grand aunt! It can't be that you don't know what a television is, right?"

Su Chan replied with a blank expression, "I don't know..."

Li Yundong felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit three liters of blood. Internally, he was furiously cursing, 'This damn girl is pretending not to know. Isn't it just a kiss? She doesn't need to retaliate like this, right? This is just great! This television was at least five thousand big ones[2], now it's gone up in smoke!'

Su Chan saw that Li Yundong was black in the face[2]. She cautiously asked, "Are you angry?"

Li Yundong looked at her timid expression like a child who did something wrong. Despite the thousand flames of anger raging in his chest, the ten thousand types of unhappiness he felt, how could he release even a word in anger? He could only force a smile and say, "N-no."

Li Yundong dragged the broken television outside of his apartment in a very gloomy mood. He would throw it away when he went downstairs. Then he would find some time to buy an identical television. Otherwise, if the landlord saw, it would be a pain to deal with![3]

Having something like this occur caused the meal to be rather gloomy. While the little fox still thoughtlessly ate without a care, Li Yundong paused many times between bites as if he were eating wax.

The little fox saw Li Yundong's demeanor. No matter how stupid she was, she knew she had done something wrong. Due to her guilt, the little fox moved to the bedroom very early and hid inside.

After Li Yundong cleaned the room, he let himself topple onto the carpet. His eyes looked toward the light hanging from the ceiling. He gazed into the distance lost in thought. Li Yundong thought what happened today on the inside.
