These Days, Even Fox Immortals Have to Take the Civil Service Exam

A fox demon seme who loves playing the fool, is greedy and lecherous x a cool-headed, rational white tiger uke with overwhelming combat strength

Ten years after escaping from a top-secret national seal, Qi Zhuo, the owner of a women's clothing shop on Taobao, runs into an enforcement officer from the Demon Administration Bureau again. The uniform nearly scares his fox tail right out of him.

But he soon discovers some good news: the other guy isn't here to arrest him.

Then he quickly discovers some bad news: under the latest regulations from the Huaguo Demon Administration Bureau, demons who live in the country long-term are required to cooperate with the Bureau.

He's been temporarily recruited.

Qi Zhuo: ...

Are you serious, boss? You're a civil servant, and I'm a wanted criminal.

Still...

Qi Zhuo gives his tail a little swish. If that's the case, he can use his status as an external hire to investigate the sorcerers who used him all those years ago... As long as he doesn't get caught, he'll be able to get revenge...

After all, the psychological scars those people left him with have become his inner demons over the years. If he doesn't get revenge, he can forget about growing another tail for the rest of his life.

Qi Zhuo sits cross-legged on the sofa, sizing up Bai Yingze from head to toe. The young man in a black windbreaker is tall and slender, looks young, and smells like a kitten.

Probably only been transformed for a little over ten years.

For demons like them, demonic power is directly proportional to the number of years spent cultivating. Back when the Qing dynasty was still around, Young Master Qi was already a guardian spirit in the Northeast. Handling a sheltered little flower who only took human form after the founding of the country should be a piece of cake.

Qi Zhuo smiles brightly. "Sure thing, comrade. Looking forward to working with you."

Bai Yingze nods with restrained dignity.

After spending some time together, Qi Zhuo gradually realizes that Bai Yingze is a pretty good-tempered demon. His true form seems to be a white cat. Perhaps to take care of this junior who only recently came of age, the Demon Administration Bureau gives him a ration of twenty kilos of meat every day, all premium livestock meat supplied by the government.

Qi Zhuo: !!!

That very night, he returns to his true form and rolls around, mewling for Bai Yingze to pet him.

Come on, I'm so skinny! It's hard out here for wild demons. Boss, please give me some meat, meow, meow, meow.

Bai Yingze: ... Put your clothes on.

And so Qi Zhuo successfully gets an extra meat ration card.

Later, Bai Yingze gets injured, and Qi Zhuo accidentally discovers that his fur can ward off evil and protect a home. Tsk... No wonder he's government issue. His bloodline is so noble.

Qi Zhuo clings to him and wails for three days straight.

Let me touch your true form, please! I've always loved cats, boss, but ordinary cats are all afraid of me. Just let me touch you once, please, please!

Bai Yingze: Don't pull my tail!

From then on, Qi Zhuo spends his days plucking cat fur and his nights lounging around with ghost-repelling charms, making a killing.

Canines have a habit of pushing their luck. Bai Yingze lets him pet him, hug him, and kiss him, so Qi Zhuo draws on the unique charms of Su Daji's bloodline, advancing step by step and taking full advantage of him.

He's just a little demon, after all. Qi Zhuo treats it as a fling.

Three months later, Qi Zhuo fails to run away and stands amid the ruins, bewildered, helpless, innocent, and terrified as he looks at the legendary White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols, guardian of the seven western constellations and known in Taoism as the Divine Lord Jianbing. He recalls all the outrageous things he's done over the past few months...

I'm--doomed!
