The 1970s: The Little Fox Cub Is Online Looking for Dad

In the Age of Declining Dharma, spiritual energy has withered away, leaving the ancient nine-tailed fox Tushan Yao on the verge of death.

Four-year-old divine beast cub Xiaobao clenches his little fists and drags his frail, blood-vomiting mother across thousands of miles to look for his dad.

Amnesiac special forces commander Huo Yunzheng stares at the pair, sinking into deep self-doubt: “I’ve been single for twenty-six years since birth. Where did this wife and child come from?!”

He initially assumes that a poor widow and child have come to sponge off him, but a month later, her entire “poor peasant” maternal family shows up!

Huo Yunzheng gazes at the roomful of “old, weak, sick, and disabled” people and falls into deep thought:

Is that “Grandpa Ginseng,” who gives everyone ginseng whiskers, really a miracle-working physician?

Can that “Older Cousin Panda,” who does nothing but eat, punch straight through a tank?

Has that “Older Cousin Peacock,” who stares at himself in the mirror all day, really become the star of the army arts troupe?

Most outrageous of all, his seemingly helpless and delicate wife has pinned the great demon lord to the ground and beaten him senseless.

Huo Yunzheng undoes his collar button, his gaze deep and unreadable. “So when you said you were tired before, you were just pretending?”

The yao: “…” Commander, do you have some misunderstanding about the word “delicate”?

The entire military region waits to laugh at this burdened mother and son, but later:

“Wife, my yang energy is at full capacity today. We can dual cultivate anytime!”

When spies attempt to kidnap the seemingly delicate mother and son, they see a woman revealing nine tails and an uncle transforming into a panda. The spies burst into tears: “Our intelligence was wrong! This is a cultivation clan!”
