As usual, Hu Xiaoxiao slipped into the chicken coop with practiced ease and chirped happily, "Little plump chickens, I'm here to steal you again~"
But besides the chickens she loved to eat, she found a strange, pitch-black creature of some unknown breed.
The black creature pinned her down and rubbed her against the ground. "I hear you often come here to steal chickens. As it happens, I need a subordinate, so I'll make do with you for now."
Hu Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only go from being a happy little fox who stole chickens to a miserable little thing enslaved by a big black rooster.
Later, the big black rooster slowly transformed into a phoenix and regained a handsome human form that could blind anyone who looked at him. Hu Xiaoxiao trembled as she asked, "M-My King, now that you've regained your human form, can you let me go?"
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and pressed her to the ground. "Do you think you can just stop stealing because you say so?"
