Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage (GL) - Chapter 7
The next night, Hu Mengmeng didn’t have a nightmare and slept soundly until dawn.
After that, she didn’t transform into her fox spirit state again, and the weight she had painstakingly lost rebounded, increasing by more than ten pounds compared to before.
It wasn’t until the night of Hu Mengmeng’s birthday that she had another nightmare.
According to Su Mingli, after turning eighteen, the fox spirit bloodline within Hu Mengmeng would begin to unseal and spread, actively dispersing throughout her body over about a year. After a year, if she hadn’t found a way to conceal her aura or suppress her bloodline, she would be easily seen by demon hunters at any time.
Hu Mengmeng got scared and had another nightmare, growing ears and a tail, becoming a half-fox.
When Hu Mengmeng woke up this time, she felt like the things in her head were dissolving at an accelerated rate.
Seeing her soaring weight, Hu Mengmeng grabbed her ears and pinched herself.
Afraid that she wouldn’t know when she could enter her fox state again, Hu Mengmeng wrote a sentence and stuck it above her bed, visible as soon as she lay down:
“Want Xiao Ya to like you? Think of the fear of being chased by the demon hunter’s sword. Long ears and tail, start losing weight, starting now!”
Hu Mengmeng continued her weight loss and body shaping method every night. Before going to sleep in the following days, seeing this line, Hu Mengmeng would force herself to think of being chased by that terrifying demon hunter, even when her mind was hazy, and then think of the moment when Lin Yunya looked disgusted at her. Being scared, she would quickly enter her fox state and start losing weight.
She had no one to guide her now. The memories in her head didn’t contain anything about human-demon hybrids, so she could only explore on her own. Currently, she still had to rely on thinking about that demon hunter to transform.
She persisted like this until school was about to start, Hu Mengmeng’s weight fluctuated up and down, finally settling at just over 130 pounds. She had also grown a few centimeters taller, from her previous 161cm to 165cm.
Having lost so much weight, the skin on her body didn’t show any signs of sagging from rapid weight loss.
Her appearance hadn’t changed much, still a round face with round eyes, just a size smaller than before, making her look a bit more adorable.
In her fox form, the changes were more significant. Her figure and face were both more attractive. She still looked like the same person, but her face seemed to have a beauty filter, and her figure looked like it had long-leg effects added.
Her current physique looked much more normal, belonging to the slightly plump category, and her body felt much lighter than before.
Hu Mengmeng didn’t exercise during the day, just ate. After feeling a bit better, she helped out at the snack shop, but only for about two hours in the morning.
Her fox form weight loss time at night was about half an hour, and the effect was astonishing.
Su Mingli was also shocked by Hu Mengmeng’s weight loss speed and even took her to the hospital for a check-up. Finding nothing wrong, she guessed it might be due to the initial unsealing of the fox spirit bloodline.
Tao Tao had been with Hu Mengmeng all along and hadn’t noticed anything for the time being. It wasn’t until she went back to her grandmother’s house with Tao Zhengcheng for four days and returned that she noticed. Without Tao Tao’s feeding and Su Mingli not leaving any high-calorie food for Hu Mengmeng, Hu Mengmeng had lost weight very quickly during those days. When Tao Tao returned, she was shocked; Hu Mengmeng had lost so much weight.
“Mengmeng, why do you look so much thinner?!” Tao Tao asked Hu Mengmeng in surprise.
“Tao Tao, do you know how much weight I’ve lost?” Hearing Tao Tao’s question, Hu Mengmeng, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn’t help but get excited and wanted to show off to Tao Tao.
“How much weight have you lost?” Tao Tao asked doubtfully, her brow slightly furrowed.
“More than forty pounds! At this rate, I’ll be under a hundred pounds soon!” Hu Mengmeng said happily. If it weren’t for how bizarre it was to transform into a fox spirit, she really wanted to show Tao Tao.
“How could this be? It’s impossible. Is there something wrong with your health? You’ve lost weight so quickly,” Tao Tao said with concern.
She had only been gone for a few days, and Hu Mengmeng had lost weight so quickly!
“There’s nothing wrong with my health. It’s because I do weight-loss exercises at night, hehe, surprise?” Hu Mengmeng said with a smile.
Tao Tao’s expression turned a little bad.
“Tao Tao, what’s wrong?” Hu Mengmeng asked, noticing Tao Tao’s pale face and a slight tremor in her body, feeling a little worried.
“Nothing, I’m a little tired, I want to take a nap,” Tao Tao said, her lips trembling slightly, as if she was restraining something.
“Then I’ll go first. You take your nap, I won’t disturb you,” Hu Mengmeng said to Tao Tao. She was at Tao Tao’s house right now.
Hu Mengmeng left, and Tao Tao trembled even more violently.
“I want to eat her! Eat her! Can’t wait any longer!” a low, hoarse voice growled softly.
“No, no, please, please! No, no!” Tao Tao said, her face bloodless, kneeling on the ground, begging with tears in her eyes.
“No, can’t wait any longer! I want to eat her!” the voice continued to growl, and black mist swirled around Tao Tao.
Tao Tao held her head in pain, staggered to the refrigerator, took out all the food inside, and lifted her skirt. On her thin, underdeveloped leg, a hideous human face-shaped sore appeared, surrounded by black mist, its mouth open, making sounds.
It seemed that this thing had been talking to Tao Tao all along.
“You can eat anything you want, just don’t eat her, I beg you!” Tao Tao opened the bag, offering raw chicken legs and bloody beef to the open mouth.
“These are not enough at all! I want her. If I eat her, your leg will get better, and I will have a new body. If she loses any more weight, she won’t be enough for me to eat!” the hideous human face said, looking at the things in Tao Tao’s hand with some disgust, but still biting into them.
“No, no way!” Tao Tao shook her head violently.
The hideous human face’s stiff eyeballs rolled, and some black mist drifted towards Tao Tao, making Tao Tao’s expression even more painful.
For two consecutive days, Tao Tao didn’t go to Hu Mengmeng’s place and didn’t let Hu Mengmeng come to see her, only sending messages telling Hu Mengmeng that she was sleeping or watching dramas, and telling her to play by herself.
Two days later, it was August 30th, and school would start on September 1st. They were about to leave for school registration.
The closer it got to the start of school, the more worried Su Mingli became.
She didn’t know what would happen to Hu Mengmeng when she wasn’t by her side.
“You must remember not to get emotionally agitated, absolutely must not! Fengcheng is not a small place like our Taolin County,” Su Mingli said worriedly.
“Mom, it won’t happen, haven’t I been fine lately?” Hu Mengmeng said, not telling Su Mingli about being forced into her fox state every night.
“How can I not worry? No, after a few days, I’ll go to Fengcheng to open a snack shop,” Su Mingli said, rubbing her hands together, having thought of something. The snack shop here had good business, and giving it up would be a pity, but compared to Hu Mengmeng’s safety, Su Mingli gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
“Mom, no way?” Hu Mengmeng looked at Su Mingli’s expression in astonishment.
“What no way? There are only two of us in this family, do you think you can escape my grasp?! Go to university and study hard, I’m still waiting for you to support me in my old age!” Su Mingli glared at Hu Mengmeng.
Hu Mengmeng was a little touched at first, but after hearing what Su Mingli said, it somehow changed its flavor.
Well, there were only two of them at home, and separating wasn’t something Hu Mengmeng wanted either. She didn’t want to be too far away from Su Mingli.
Su Mingli set her plan and started preparing.
On the morning of the 31st, Tao Zhengcheng drove over to take Hu Mengmeng and Tao Tao to school, and Su Mingli went along as well.
One car plus luggage, four people fit perfectly.
Tao Tao and Hu Mengmeng were both going to university in Fengcheng. Tao Tao was going to the Communication University of Fengcheng University, majoring in Animation Design, while Hu Mengmeng was going to Tancheng College of Fengcheng University, majoring in Computer Science and Technology.
Tao Tao was a good student and got into a top-tier university, while Hu Mengmeng got into a third-tier one. They were considered to be in the same university but different colleges, both on the same campus and quite close to each other.
“Tao Tao, are you sick? Your complexion looks terrible,” Su Mingli asked Tao Tao when they got into the car.
“I’m fine, just a little carsick, I’ll sit in the front,” Tao Tao forced a smile and said.
“Tao Tao, don’t worry about the new school. My mom said she’ll buy me a new electric scooter. When you have classes, just call me anytime, and I’ll take you,” Hu Mengmeng said, leaning over the passenger seat towards Tao Tao.
“Mingli, Mengmeng, you don’t need to go to so much trouble. You’ve already helped us so much in middle and high school. Tao Tao can go to school with her crutches,” Tao Zhengcheng said.
“What trouble is there? The school isn’t far, and the two kids can keep each other company. Tao Tao buys food for Mengmeng every day, and she patiently tutored Mengmeng a lot before exams. Otherwise, with Mengmeng’s blockhead, she probably wouldn’t have even gotten into a third-tier college. So, we owe you a lot. Don’t keep counting. I looked at the map, the two colleges are very close, and Mengmeng is quite steady on an electric scooter,” Su Mingli said with a smile.
“Tao Tao, quickly thank Auntie. You and Mengmeng will still be together, so you don’t have to worry about the new environment,” Tao Zhengcheng said gratefully, glancing at Su Mingli.
Tao Tao had social anxiety and was afraid of crowded places and unfamiliar environments. Hu Mengmeng had always accompanied her before, and they were also classmates in school, going everywhere together. Tao Tao would only go out when Hu Mengmeng was around; she wouldn’t go out alone no matter what.
Seeing Tao Tao’s pale face at the moment, they all felt that Tao Tao was feeling uneasy because she was going to school.
“Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Mengmeng,” Tao Tao said with a smile.
“Good girl, relax a bit. You’re so well-behaved and study so well, you’ll definitely be popular. Mengmeng’s major, I heard it’s quite difficult, randomly assigned. I don’t know what she’ll be able to learn,” Su Mingli said gently, looking at Tao Tao and chatting.
They brought food on the way, chatting and eating and drinking a little. They set off a little after nine in the morning and arrived at Fengcheng University a little after twelve. They first helped Tao Tao register, pay fees, and arrange her dormitory. With senior students from the second and third years leading the way, the procedures went quite smoothly.
After paying the fees at the finance office, they saw a red banner that read, “Warmly congratulate our student Ye Xinyu for winning the first prize in the Clay International Piano Competition.”
“Is this student named Ye Xinyu very impressive? I think I saw her name on that wall earlier too,” Su Mingli asked curiously, seeing the line.
“Of course, she’s amazing! What you saw earlier was the honor wall. Senior Ye is the first undergraduate student who hasn’t even graduated yet to be on the honor wall. She’s won many awards. This piano competition is just her hobby. Her strongest suit is her major, life science research. She’s been accepted as a member of the World Life Science Organization. There are fewer than a hundred members worldwide, and each one is a highly respected figure! Also, Senior Ye is the president of our school’s student union and the president of the school’s martial arts club. Most, most, most importantly, Senior Ye could clearly rely on her looks, but she insists on speaking through her strength,” a male student who helped them register enthusiastically introduced.
“She’s really someone else’s child, good at everything she does!” Su Mingli exclaimed, glaring at Hu Mengmeng.
Hu Mengmeng pouted and looked away from Su Mingli. Anyway, every time she saw someone else’s child being excellent, Su Mingli would always lament that she wasn’t living up to her potential.
The male student took them to the dormitory of the Communication University and arranged Tao Tao’s room. Finally, after the first procedure was completed, he left.
The dormitory of the Communication University looked very artistic, with a landscape oil painting on the exterior. It was said that the exterior would be changed every few years, and all the residents were students from the Communication University.
“No way, Tao Tao, you’re in the same dormitory as that Xu Lianlian!” When they were taking luggage to the dormitory, Hu Mengmeng saw the list of names on Tao Tao’s dormitory door. There were four people in one dormitory, and one of them was called Xu Lianlian, who was the girl named Xiao Lian who was always by Lin Yunya’s side, sharp-tongued and not a very good person.
Hu Mengmeng hadn’t seen them since the birthday party. She had seen them chatting lively in the class group chat, saying they had gone on a graduation trip abroad with Lin Yunya and a few others.
“It’s the same with anyone,” Tao Tao said, shaking her head as she glanced at the name.
“If she bullies you, call me,” Hu Mengmeng said worriedly.
“It’s okay,” Tao Tao said, not really caring, seeming a bit absent-minded.
Xu Lianlian hadn’t arrived yet, so they didn’t encounter her.
After settling Tao Tao in, Tao Tao seemed a bit tired. Walking was also inconvenient for her, so she rested in the dormitory. Tao Zhengcheng helped Su Mingli and Hu Mengmeng register and pay fees.
After settling Hu Mengmeng in, Su Mingli and Tao Zhengcheng called Tao Tao out, and they went to a nearby supermarket together to buy daily necessities and small items. Then they went to a shop to buy a small electric scooter for Hu Mengmeng and Tao Tao, along with two pink helmets for them. Hu Mengmeng tried riding it; it was very light and convenient. They bought a lock and parked it in the parking shed below the dormitory, making it easy to ride around.
After doing all this, Tao Zhengcheng took Hu Mengmeng to see Tao Tao’s counselor and explained about the leave of absence for military training. Military training would start soon after school began, and Tao Tao definitely couldn’t participate in her condition. The counselor readily agreed.
“Mom, I don’t want to do military training either,” Hu Mengmeng said while they were waiting outside, feeling worried thinking about her own upcoming military training.
“You won’t have to do military training if your legs are broken!” Su Mingli glared at Hu Mengmeng, who immediately fell silent.
After Tao Tao and the others came out, the group walked around the campus and had a meal in the cafeteria. Then the two adults decided to leave.
Tao Zhengcheng had to go to work the next day, and Su Mingli planned to quickly carry out her plan after returning, renting a suitable shop in Fengcheng as soon as possible. Seeing that the school seemed quite safe, there was no point in them staying. They would keep in touch by phone, and Su Mingli would come again in a few days.
After seeing the two off, Hu Mengmeng helped Tao Tao walk around the new campus, taking Tao Tao to her dormitory.
“Tao Tao, why don’t you come stay in my dormitory for a while? I’ll take you back to your dormitory when it’s time?” Hu Mengmeng said, worried about Tao Tao.
“Mengmeng, it’s okay, I’m a bit tired, I’ll just sleep in the dormitory,” Tao Tao said, shaking her head.
“Going back and forth is indeed tiring. Next time, I’ll ride my electric scooter and take you to explore Fengcheng!” Hu Mengmeng said, going to the dormitory with Tao Tao. Both of them had phones and could contact each other anytime. Watching Tao Tao take off her shoes and get into bed, Hu Mengmeng finally left.
Not long after Hu Mengmeng left, Xu Lianlian entered the dormitory. Seeing Tao Tao’s spot, she curled her lip.
“So unlucky, hmph!” Xu Lianlian said as her first sentence, not even greeting Tao Tao. She went to her own spot and sat down to look in the mirror and touch up her makeup.
Although Xu Lianlian didn’t say what was unlucky, Tao Tao’s body still trembled slightly, and a trace of black mist emerged from her already dark eyes.
“Eat her first, even just to fill the gaps between your teeth,” a low voice sounded in Tao Tao’s ear, and Tao Tao suddenly pulled the blanket over her head.
