The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 27

The clay fox lay quietly in her palm. She couldn't help but yawn, resting her chin on her hand as she gazed at the little fox in a daze.

Earlier, when the ghost had tried to attack Yu Liang, that white fox had come out of his room, and it seemed to have some kind of spiritual power.

That meant, regardless of the reason, this "fox spirit" had a debt of gratitude toward Yu Liang. She wondered if this deity had a temple or something. If so, she should take Yu Liang to offer incense.

The melon-eating system, watching the little fox in her hand, patted its little chest and spoke up, [Host, you're amazing! When that ugly ghost tried to pounce, my little heart nearly jumped out of my chest, but you didn't even move, and the ghost was instantly sent flying!]

With its cute little voice, the system tried to flatter her, [Host, today our team's performance was number one! Our melon-eating value has increased by 3,000, and converting it into time, we now have three extra months! You're the best host I've ever had!]

Yu Yuan, who had already closed her eyes, smiled and opened her eyes to look at the ceiling, "Have you worked with many hosts before?"

[Of course!] The melon-eating system proudly patted its chest, [I'm only one year old, still a baby! Just finished training, and you're my very first host! But even without comparison, I think you're the best host ever!]

Listening to the system's sweet talk, Yu Yuan stopped teasing it and smiled, "You're so sweet today. Come on, what do you want from me?"

[Hehe...] The melon-eating system scratched its head, sounding a little shy, [I knew my host is brilliant, nothing gets past you!]

It hesitated for a moment, [Actually, our system shop has a virtual avatar now. After purchasing it, the system can use the avatar to enter the host's world...]

Yu Yuan waited for it to continue, but the system paused, waiting for her response. Both of them stayed silent for a moment, and finally, the system gritted its teeth and went all in, [Host, do you like dogs? I want to buy a dog avatar!]

It blurted everything out and waited for Yu Yuan's reaction.

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "A dog avatar? Do you have something like a Tibetan Mastiff? It'll be perfect for picking up Yu Liang from school."

Seeing that the host didn't refuse, the system happily responded, [Host, wait for me!]

It went to the shop, and when it found the Tibetan Mastiff avatar, it fell silent.

[Host, do we really want such a big one...?]

Wuwuwu, this dog looked so fierce!

Yu Yuan, noticing the little fox in her hand, suddenly had an idea. "Do you have a Samoyed avatar?"

[Yes, yes, yes!] The melon-eating system was excited, [I found it! What a beautiful dog!]

But when it saw the price, its little voice almost cracked, [200 melon coins! Stupid main god, why don't you go and rob someone?!]

100 melon points could last for a day, so 200 melon points meant two days of survival for the host!

Ugh! Garbage!

It angrily closed the mall, [We're not suckers! Not buying it!]

Yu Yuan didn't think much of it. "Do you use food, water, bathroom breaks, and sleep after turning into a Samoyed?"

The Melon-Eating System, still fuming, kept babbling in a cute voice, [Food and water, yes. Bathroom and sleep, nope! We're perfect paper-doll dogs, we don't even need baths—just a quick refresh, and we're sparkling clean!]

Although the main god, *Zhou Ba Pi (Scrooge), was stingy, the Melon-Eating System couldn't bring itself to bash it for making bad choices. After all, the system was made with its feet, but the virtual image was crafted with care!

(*"周扒皮" (Zhōu bā pí) is a nickname that combines the name "Zhou" with the term "扒皮" (bā pí), which literally means "peeling skin." This phrase is often used figuratively to describe someone who is very stingy or cheap, someone who tries to squeeze every last bit of profit or benefit, sometimes at the expense of others.)

"200 melon points isn't too expensive," Yu Yuan rubbed her chin. "Buying a Samoyed would be way pricier. Plus, you don't need to scoop poop..."

A Samoyed that you could cuddle and love, without the hassle of cleaning up after it, and could even double as Little Yu Liang's bodyguard? This was a pretty sweet deal.

"Once you buy this avatar, you can use it forever, right?"

The Melon-Eating System caught the hint in the host's words. Even though it really wanted the virtual image, the trashy main god wasn't pulling its weight, and it didn't want its host to get scammed. [Host, I honestly don't think it's that necessary to buy this...]

Yu Yuan had already called into the kitchen, "Liang Liang, do you want a Samoyed to go to school with you?"

"A dog?"

Little Yu Liang came out, holding a dumpling that wasn't wrapped properly, his amber eyes sparkling.

"Mommy, are we getting a dog?"

Yu Yuan asked, "Do you want a dog to go to school with you?"

Little Yu Liang instinctively glanced at his little phone. He felt like he and his mommy had plenty of money now—more than enough to support both of them. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I want to..."

"Then wait here for a sec. The dog's downstairs—I'll go bring it up."

Yu Yuan slipped on her slippers and headed out. "Alright, System, go ahead and buy that Samoyed avatar!"

The Melon-Eating System was still hesitating. [Host, this is kinda tied to your survival, you sure you don't wanna...]

Yu Yuan waved a hand dismissively. "Enjoy life while you can. It's not like I even know if I'll make it to tomorrow. And it's not like I can't earn more Melon Points! Just hurry up and buy it!"

The Melon-Eating System stared at the fluffy, snow-white Samoyed avatar, rubbing its hands together excitedly. Then, after taking a final look at the host's account balance—a solid 6,500—it shut its eyes and made the purchase.

[Ding-dong~ Congratulations! System 376872 has successfully purchased Avatar No. 89. Would you like to equip it now?]

The Melon-Eating System's tiny hands trembled with excitement.

[Confirm.]

A massive, snow-white Samoyed appeared out of thin air right at Yu Yuan's feet.

The Samoyed circled her twice, wagging its tail happily. Its tiny, baby voice was both nervous and excited. [Host! Host! Do I look good? Do I?]

The dog was huge, its fur sleek and shining under the hallway light streaming through the window. Every single strand of fur gleamed with a golden glow.

She bent down to give it a pat—so soft. The little dog's eyes sparkled as it stared up at her expectantly.
