Amid the stalks of herbs in Li Meirong's garden, a pair of twin foxes crept between the many different types of aromatic leaves. As silent as expert thieves, their soft and tiny paw pads hadn't made so much as a single sound to announce their arrival.
"Do you think it's safe for us to approach, sister?" one fox anxiously inquired.
The fox's identical twin let out a jeering laugh. "The aggressive aura surrounding the perimeters has reduced significantly and appears to be unusually pleasant. I'd say it's safe enough."
"But what if His Lordship punishes us for intruding on his precious time?"
The fox rolled her eyes at her sister. "You worry too much! I don't think His Lordship has the patience to take care of us mere subordinates, even if he wanted to. He's probably exhausted from all of his nightly labours!"
"I don't think His Lordship was busy working last night, or that he's possibly tired in any way." The worried fox retorted.
