Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

"Huh?" Shen Yuan's nine tails stood in a solid, straight line. He has the urge to pick his ears with his long nails to clean them up for fear that he misheard something. However, he is unable to do so since his arms are stiff and trembling. 

No, he is not shocked or panicking that Yanyan can see through his illusion spell. In fact, he is mentally prepared for it. It is not the first time that a child sees his ears and tails, so Shen Yuan has a conditioned response to these innocent eyes. 

However, the present scenario is not something that he experienced before. Nobody has ever arbitrarily grabbed his ears and played them like mochis!

"This is bad. This little child is tickling my most ticklish spot!" Shen Yuan thought while he was inwardly sweating bullets. Shen Yuan's face was dyed red.

"Hang on! At this rate, I am afraid I cannot hold myself back!" He tried to pull his head away from the innocent hands of his new son, but it was futile. His fluffy white fox ears are only getting stretched more in the process!

"What should I do?" The almighty fox spirit was suddenly confronted with a formidable opponent—someone whom he couldn't deal with violence.

"Yanyan? Baby boy, c-can you let go of Daddy's ehehehe," Shen Yuan tried to appeal to his new son gently, but it was too late. Bai Shengyan seemed to enjoy the velvety feeling of his fox ears as he kneaded them like dough, which resulted in Shen Yuan's uncontrollable laughing fit.

"Ehehehe," Shen Yuan laughed hard as the unceasing tickles assaulted his senses. "No, little boy, do not— Ehehehehe." The ticklish sensation was simply too much for the celestial fox spirit that his long and fluffy tails reflexively shook from side to side. 

"What the!" Shen Yuan's eyes were full of incredulity and shame. It was hard to process that his pride and dignity as a nine-tailed fox had gone up to flames. This little human boy who is now his son made all of his tails wagging like a dumb mutt!

"This should be stopped!" The celestial fox spirit who just broke his ego declared in his mind.

As Yanyan's daddy, Shen Yuan is the one responsible for reprimanding the kid when he is doing something wrong. He toughened the look in his eyes, ready to give the little boy a lesson. However, before he could even say something, his words were drowned by the dreadful feeling in his chest.

Bai Shengyan's eyes spark while he looks at his fox tails. 

"Holy crap," Shen Yuan doesn't need an extraordinary perception to know this is a bad omen. All the hidden furs in his body stood up.

Yanyan snaked his tiny arms around his Daddy's neck and energetically pleaded, "Wah! Daddy, you can control them freely, so cool! Can I touch them?"

"No way in heaven and hell!" The celestial fox spirit instinctively yelled. Ears and tails are the parts that make the powerful fox spirits vulnerable. Touch their ears, and the consequences are still negligible, but if the roots of their tails are touched, that costs him freedom. 

"I can't?" asked Bai Shengyan. The faint redness and the little moisture on the child's face were still noticeable, but the little boy reflected a bright smile in his eyes despite that. 

Shen Yuan's mind became clear, and he fell into the pits of contemplation.

"Children have naturally shorter attention spans compared to adults. That may be the reason why Yanyan could act cute to me even though he had just experienced a terrible ordeal. But that in itself is interesting. What kind of five-year-old would gush about my tail and ears like a little fanboy when he was facing a life-threatening  danger just seconds ago?" A smirk slowly crept on the attractive face of the platinum omega. His thoughts somehow triggered the sleeping pride in him. Bai Shengyan is a good seedling that has the potential to grow into a strong tree.

"Yanyan is so interesting," He gently messed with the platinum blond hair of the child, and he saw how Yanyan instinctively closed his eyes due to his soothing touch. 

"This child is acting like a little pup. So cute!" He could stop himself from thinking.

Because of their warm interaction, he almost missed the small movements in their surroundings. 

Shen Yuan looks at the little boy who is trying to reach his tail sneakily. "Yanyan, stop that for now." 

The little boy stiffened like a burglar caught red-handed. The little boy's bright eyes are almost teary, and his lips are pouting like a duckling. "Yanyan can't?"

Yanyan is painfully disappointed, and he is showing that in a way that makes Shen Yuan's heart melt. Just how could he combat this assault of cuteness? 

"Daddy will let you touch them later. But for now, let's avoid the annoying guys coming after us. Yanyan must grab my jacket tight because Daddy will  take you to fly, okay?" Shen Yuan said as a compromise.

"Okay, Daddy!" The child didn't need to be told twice. Shen Yuan felt the tight hold on his clothes, and without wasting a second, he jumped backward once again. That single action contains monstrous power and speed. In no time, the father and son tandem was high up in the sky.

Clang! The sound of metal clashing was suddenly heard.

"There they are," Shen Yuan's glimmering blue eyes are nailed on the spot where they originally stood, and there, he saw the heteromorphic awakener with thick, scaly skin clashing with a very familiar swordsman.

Yanyan's attention was caught by the low murmuring of his daddy and the sharp sound, so he looked down, and his eyes instantly brightened. "Papa! Yanyan is finally safe. Daddy saved me from the bad guys!"

The child's delighted scream echoed. Naturally, Bai Tingfeng heard it, but he didn't have the chance to look at his beloved son since he was facing an enemy. But it was evident from the slight arch on his lips that he was relieved that Yanyan was finally out of harm. "Papa is glad you are okay, Baby. You did well."

Just that, and Bai Tingfeng didn't say anything after that.

Shen Yuan noticed this and flashed a sarcastic smile. "Yanyan did well. That is a given, but what about me? Gosh, this damn alpha man didn't even dare to compliment my feat. What an ass," he thought disdainfully.

This deliberate ignoring of Bai Tingfeng caused a surge of cockiness to flood his brain.

"I did tell you, Bai Tingfeng. I have a very sharp battle sense and fast reaction time, so I do not need you to save me." he mockingly said without conserving the volume of his voice. "I am not a weak damsel in distress that you made me out to be!"

This is the part where he is slapping the face of this stubborn alpha. Shen Yuan is not kind enough to pull his punches when all he wants is to annoy Bai Tingfeng. "I am a strong independent omega. No alpha can tame me."

Thud!

Shen Yuan landed on one of the Bai family car's roofs. This time, he made himself heavy enough to make a noticeable dent. The police and Bai Tingfeng's men were all caught off guard because of the loud noise.

But none of them says a thing because, at this moment, they could feel a strong tension brewing between the two husbands.

"Strong independent omega, you say?" Bai Tingfeng forcefully swung his sword, sending his tough-looking opponent flying tens of meters away. The heteromorphic awakener hit the concrete with a loud thud, creating big cracks in the road. "Then good luck to you. You messed up big time, Shen Yuan."

Bai Tingfeng was royally pissed. It was evident to anyone present. "Papa…" Yanyan uttered weakly, concerned because of the gloomy atmosphere radiating from his father.

Shen Yuan may be the only one who doesn't seem perturbed, as he is currently more engrossed in feeling his surroundings.

"Do not let your guard, Master Bai. There is more to come," he playfully said. "You should be thankful that I am warning despite my bad feelings about you."

This time, he won Bai Tingfeng's attention. The alpha male glanced at him with his teeth clenched and eyes as sharp as daggers.

Assistant Su is silently sweating buckets, "Guildmaster said that before! Is Master Shen really determined to piss him off?!" 

Despite Shen Yuan's taunting, his words were proven to be true because right after he said that, three oversized praying mantises that were as tall as three adult humans combined attacked them. Their exoskeleton is visibly tougher than armored tanks that Shen Yuan saw before.

They will be a very annoying opponents to deal with. The celestial fox spirit is certain.

On the other hand, Bai Tingfeng was caught in a deadlock with one of the insect monsters.

"Three Giant Mantiras?! How come a monster found in A class dungeon is here?" exclaimed the surprised police officer. "Was there a dungeon break nearby?"

"No, there is no A-Class dungeon that houses mutated insects in the vicinity," Su Yifan murmured. Like the majority, he was also in a state of disbelieving daze. But that was quickly cut off when, out of the blue, Shen Yuan approached him with the young master in his arms. He noticed that the omega was wearing a serious face.

"Assistant Su, make sure that everyone has gathered their shit now. The man that we are against is an S-Class summoner. So if you do not act quickly, things will get ugly."

"Master Shen, how did you.." his words faded when his eyes met Shen Yuan's. 

"Master Shen's eye colors turned blue! This is something that only S-Class awakeners are capable of! No way! Holy shit!" Su Yifan was internally screaming. He did not notice them quickly because of the present ordeal, but now, he wanted to curse himself for not finding it out early.

"Wait, did Guildmaster see this?" Su Yifan was critically out of his mind.

'Assistant! Su! Bloody! Hell! Can! You! Hear! Me?!" 

"Uncle Yifan! Listen to Daddy!"

The joint scream of the daddy and son woke him up. "Y-Yes understood, Master Shen."

'You know, you almost died," Shen Yuan said sharply. "You better work hard. I don't want to see a lot of blood right after I come home."

"You can trust me on this, Master Shen." Su Yifan's heart is racing. Somehow, an inexplicable feeling in his chest tells him that he needs to work harder now more than before. So, he did not waste a second and moved to command his fellow and cooperate with the police.

Meanwhile, Bai Tingfeng was facing the mysterious man with whom he had the most terrible hunch.

"As expected of S-Class hunter, Bai Tingfeng. The rumors are true; you can detect danger easily and are quick and strong enough to counter it. It is truly fitting for someone who carries the blood of the White Tiger." Haichong arrogantly said. The hooded man is using the gigantic as a mount. Unbothered at the ongoing clash of two sharp blades, Bai Tingfeng's sword and praying mantis' raptorial claws.

This is the first face-off of "Their S-Class Secret's" male lead and his archnemesis.
