Transmigrated as an Alpha, the Fox Spirit Lives on Pheromone - Chapter 20

Bai Muqin had never experienced such embarrassment before. Disregarding her image, she lay sprawled under the bed, the spiderwebs brushing against her face making her sneeze uncontrollably. She casually brushed the cobwebs away and then struggled to pull Huang Xianxian off the bed frame.

She finally understood what Qin Nian meant by “slap you so hard you’d stick to the wall and couldn’t be pried off.” If Huang Xianxian hadn’t kept shouting, “Pull harder, don’t worry about breaking me,” she truly wouldn’t have had the confidence to pry her loose.

Compared to Bai Muqin’s disheveled state, Qin Nian, standing nearby, was utterly dumbfounded. What was the dignified CEO of a company doing crawling under a bed frame?!

Before Qin Nian could blurt out something shocking, Bai Muqin had already emerged from under the bed, clutching Huang Xianxian in her arms.

A passing nurse witnessed the scene, hesitating to speak, unsure how to even begin. Judging by their attire, these two didn’t seem mentally unstable. But stranger than crawling under the bed was the fact that they had pulled out a weasel—if her eyes weren’t deceiving her.

Bai Muqin, mortified by the situation and caught in the act by an outsider, suppressed her shame and maintained her usual aloof, unapproachable demeanor. With an air of indifference, she walked past the nurse, still holding Huang Xianxian, and left the ward.

Seeing Bai Muqin act so composed, Qin Nian hurried after her, about to praise her incredible mental fortitude—until she noticed the faint redness on her sister’s ears. The words died in her throat. Qin Nian realized, with some amusement, that even her sister could feel flustered. This forced composure was something she’d never seen before—and it was kind of adorable.

“Do you know about Ah Li’s accident? Is there a way to fix it? Why were you under the bed? And what’s your connection to that comatose patient?” Bai Muqin fired off questions like a rapid-fire list, as if she were in a meeting, prioritizing them from most to least important—her tone undeniably commanding.

Qin Nian, who had just found her sister endearing, now shivered involuntarily. She was convinced Bai Muqin had lost her mind—why else would she be talking to herself? But letting her ramble on alone felt awkward, so Qin Nian interjected, “Sis, didn’t you already tell me about Ah Li’s accident? Wait, were you just asking me?”

Bai Muqin shot her an exasperated glance. “I’ll explain everything in the car later. For now, don’t interrupt.”

“Interrupt?” Qin Nian repeated softly, her voice tinged with grievance. She didn’t understand—there were only the two of them (and Huang Xianxian) present. How was she interrupting? Suddenly locking eyes with Huang Xianxian, a bizarre thought flashed through her mind. She couldn’t help but mutter, “No way…”

While Qin Nian fell silent, wrestling with her thoughts, Bai Muqin listened carefully to Huang Xianxian’s response.

“You’re throwing so many questions at me at once—how is this great immortal supposed to answer them all? Since you dared to speak to me and can hear my voice, it means you already know something. So, I won’t beat around the bush. As you can see, I am a soon-to-be fully cultivated weasel immortal. Years ago, by chance, I possessed Huang Xianxian’s body and slept for a long time. When I caught the scent of fox spiritual energy in the hospital, I followed her to your home.”

Why was I under the bed? All to save the fox! Last night, I sensed spiritual energy leaking from your room and was worried about your safety, so I sneaked in. Good grief!”

Bai Muqin thought Huang Xianxian had seen something inappropriate. No matter how composed she tried to appear, she couldn’t hold back now. She pressed the cool back of her hand against her burning cheeks to cool them down, quickening her pace guiltily and leaving Qin Nian behind.

Fortunately, Huang Xianxian hadn’t witnessed anything indecent—she was just marveling at how much pheromone Ah Li had absorbed.

“How on earth did she seduce you into taking so much pheromone at once? She wasn’t afraid of bursting! But because of that, she reverted to her true form. So, you came to me—did you see her original form too? Weren’t you scared?”

Bai Muqin shook her head. “I didn’t see her true form, only her tail wrapping around her like a cocoon.”

Huang Xianxian: “That still sounds pretty terrifying. For a human woman like you to not be afraid and even seek help for her—the fox really met a kind soul.”

Seeing Bai Muqin didn’t respond, she continued, “When I saw her true form, I nudged her to wake her up so she wouldn’t scare you. But she forcibly transferred her excess spiritual energy to me. My tiny body couldn’t handle it! Strangely, just as I panicked, a force pulled me back to the hospital. My comatose body woke up because it absorbed my spiritual energy, and I no longer had any left to enter it.”

“So, whether I can become human again depends on the fox. Hurry, take me to see her.”

Without overthinking, Bai Muqin got into the car and urged Qin Nian to drive.

Once the car left the hospital, Qin Nian stole a glance at Bai Muqin in the passenger seat and hesitantly asked, “Sis, tell me the truth—is Huang Xianxian also a spirit?”

Bai Muqin: “Yes.”

Qin Nian gasped. “So, you were talking to her just now? Why couldn’t I hear anything?” She had already processed a lot, and no matter how shocking the answer, she believed she could accept it. Still, she felt left out—like an outsider relegated to being the chauffeur.

“I couldn’t hear her before either. I don’t know what changed, but now I can. It’s fine if you don’t understand—I’ll explain it to you later. Just focus on driving for now.” Bai Muqin suppressed her impatience and spoke calmly. On the way back, she grew quiet, reflecting on her earlier agitation. She pursed her lips—had she been too concerned about Ah Li? Running around for her, even crawling under the bed without a care for her dignity…

A sudden ringtone interrupted her thoughts. Seeing it was Doctor Zhou calling, Bai Muqin answered.

Doctor Zhou: “Hello, Miss Bai. The bl00d test results are in. I happen to be free now—would you like me to explain them in person and check on Ah Li again? Is this a good time?”

Bai Muqin: “Ah Li’s fever has subsided, and she’s much better now. There’s no need for you to make another trip. You can explain the results over the phone or send a written summary—that might be clearer.”

Doctor Zhou: “Alright, I’ll send the report and written explanation to Miss Bai’s email shortly. Please check your inbox.”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Muqin let out a sigh of relief. She certainly couldn’t let Doctor Zhou see Ah Li in that state. Doctor Zhou already knew too much. While Bai trusted her, the fewer people who knew about such bizarre matters, the better.

Upon returning home, Huang Xianxian leaped out of Bai Muqin’s arms and dashed straight to the bedroom door. She jumped onto the handle and opened it in just a second.

Watching Huang Xianxian’s proficient door-opening movement, Bai Muqin suddenly understood. No wonder Ah Li had always been able to enter locked rooms before—it was all Huang Xianxian’s doing.

They quickly followed into the room and locked the door securely behind them.

Huang Xianxian circled the white cocoon several times before finally sprawling on top of it, sighing contentedly: “The spiritual energy around this fox is so abundant. Let me absorb some to help her break free sooner!”

Before she could finish, Bai Muqin grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and lifted her up, questioning skeptically: “Are you sure this is the solution? Won’t something happen to Ah Li like this?”

Held by her “fate’s scruff,” Huang Xianxian went limp, powerless to resist. Waving her front paws in a feeble struggle, she finally whimpered: “Aiya, this Great Immortal just wanted to borrow some spiritual energy—it’s harmless! I swear to heaven I won’t harm the fox. She’ll be fine like this. Letting her slowly digest and emerge on her own is currently the safest method.”

Bai Muqin released her and frowned, “Then how long until she breaks free? Days? Years?”

Huang Xianxian jumped back onto the cocoon, sitting cross-legged in a meditative pose that looked both comical and eerie. Adopting a solemn tone, she said: “Everything depends on fateful opportunity.” Since she transformed into this cocoon because of you, you can also help her emerge. I didn’t mention this earlier because the method is… well, somewhat embarrassing. Would you accept it?Bai Muqin wondered if she was imagining the lewd expression on Huang Xianxian’s face. Hesitantly, she replied: “What method? Tell me first, then I’ll decide.”

Huang Xianxian’s face actually flushed slightly: “Talking about this with a human woman like you is really awkward. You should know that fox spirits have always enjoyed seducing people and engaging in… marital relations. They do this not just to absorb essence, but because it aids their cultivation. So the method I mentioned is… you and the fox should engage in such relations more often. She might break free in just one night.”

Seeing Bai Muqin’s face alternate between red and pale, Huang Xianxian hurriedly clarified before her scruff could be grabbed again: “I’m not joking! You just need to lie down while I guide your consciousness into the cocoon. If the fox accepts you, you can enter—it’s only spiritual communion, like having a… vivid dream. If you think her natural emergence is too slow, try this method. It’ll definitely be faster than her cultivating alone. How much faster? I can’t guarantee, but I promise it’s completely safe.”

Bai Muqin gazed at the white cocoon in contemplation. She had already been intimate with Ah Li—helping her through the form of erotic dreams wasn’t something she couldn’t accept. Yet she felt strangely conflicted, wondering why she should treat Ah Li so well when the fox was merely her pet. But considering how awkward it would be to explain Ah Li’s cocooned state staying in the room indefinitely, coupled with the unbearable difficulty of enduring her own Heat alone, she soon found herself a perfectly reasonable excuse. After giving Qin Nian some instructions, she agreed to Huang Xianxian’s proposed method.
