The Story Of A Small Fox Who Has A Star Chapter 22

The next day, the crow suddenly approached Ho-Chi who was cleaning the courtyard with a frown on his face.

"Master Cheon-Ho is calling for you."

Ho-Chi's heart sunk to the bottom of his stomach.

Maybe Master Cheon-Ho was angry about what happened last night, Ho-Chi began to worry.

Hastily, Ho-Chi washed his body and changed into a clean pair of clothes.

Just in case Master Cheon-Ho notices any traces of bad smell, Ho-Chi pushed a incense pouch into his sleeve.

"Please give it to me Master Cheon-Ho."

"No, Master Cheon-Ho, give it to me. Don't you remember that you promised me a gift? This silk fabric is just perfect for it."

"Master Cheon-Ho, I hope you didn't forget about us!"

The concubines set around Master Cheon-Ho who was looking at the silk fabric on his lap and were coveting for the silk fabric.

Irritated by their nonstop requests, Master Cheon-Ho yelled.

"Get out!!"

Hearing Master Cheon-Ho's sharp tone of voice, the concubines pouted their lips as they left the room. After all, It was not Master Cheon-Ho's first time to be this fickle, the concubines were used to it.

That is when Ho-Chi appeared.

Thinking that it was good opportunity to let their steams out, the concubines began to eye Ho-Chi up and down.

"Oh my~ what a smell. Where is it coming from?"

"Why~, isn't this a smell of feces. I can't believe the palace smell like this."

"Oh, Ho-Chi~ You herd around the smell! How can you call yourself a fox when you smell like a human and feces? Just pick one already, are you a human or a toilet?"

The concubines laughed out loud. The sound was so loud that it bounced off the walls.

The words stung, and Ho-Chi could not help but bow his head low as his eye rims turned red.

Wondering if he stank badly, Ho-Chi lifted his clothes and sniffed. Ho-Chi couldn't detect any unpleasant odor from his clothes.

Suddenly, one of the concubines who spoke most harshly toward Ho-Chi disappeared with a sound of explosion.

The concubines who were around the one who disappeared screamed with paled faces.

Screaming in panic, they all turned their attention to Master Cheon-Ho who was glaring at them, realizing what happened.

"I said get out."

Unable to even scream anymore, the concubines, not caring that their undergarments were showing, lifted their dresses up to their knees and ran out the room.

Clicking his tongue in displeasure, Master Cheon-Ho turned his gaze to Ho-Chi. Sensing the gaze, Ho-Chi s.h.i.+vered as he kowtowed on the floor.

Just now, Ho-Chi witnessed Master Cheon-Ho's power which made a fox disappear from the face of the earth.

Understanding the scope of Master Cheon-Ho's power, Ho-Chi could not muster any courage to lift his head up from the floor.

Seeing how scared Ho-Chi became, Master Cheon-Ho tsked some more as he moved his feet to more comfortable position.

Hearing the s.h.i.+ft of Master Cheon-Ho's feet, Ho-Chi became startled and he s.h.i.+vered much profusely.

Not wanting to scare Ho-Chi any further, Master Cheon-Ho could not move his body as he pleases. Not even allowing himself to sigh, Master Cheon-Ho swallowed silently.

For a while, Ho-Chi did not speak in fear of irritating Master Cheon-Ho and Master Cheon-Ho could not even move to speak in fear of startling Ho-Chi.

"F, From now on.. work from my side."

"…Ah…Yes.."

As soon as Ho-Chi received Master Cheon-Ho's order, he stepped backward to leave the room.

Before Ho-Chi could open the door to leave, however, Master Cheon-Ho called Ho-Chi.

"Where do you think you are going?!"

"I…I need to clean the outside privy…"

Watching Ho-Chi's trembling figure, Master Cheon-Ho shouted in anger.

"Didn't I just ordered you to work from my side?!!"

"..Y..Yes, so I will clean the outside privy of Master Cheon-Ho's palace right away."

"No, no! Work here, by my side! Here!!"

Master Cheon-Ho banged his right foot on the floor as he emphasized the word 'here'. Startled, Ho-Chi kowtowed once again on the floor.

"M, My apology! Uhm, then I will-"

Repeatedly apologizing, Ho-Chi still tried to leave the room. Watching Ho-Chi's movement, Master Cheon-Ho became angrier.

Grabbing onto Ho-Chi's arm, Master Cheon-Ho closed the door with a bang.

"Don't leave!! Stay, and work right here! HERE!!!"

"Ah…"

By listening to Master Cheon-Ho's browbeating, Ho-Chi finally understood what Master Cheon-Ho's order meant. Ho-Chi apologized once again in a small voice and dropped his gaze to the floor, ashamed.

Making sure that Ho-Chi is no longer trying to leave the room, Master Cheon-Ho sighed and returned to his seat.

Seated, Master Cheon-Ho looked at Ho-Chi.

But when Master Cheon-Ho looked, he became lost for words.

It is because he noticed his mistake. Ho-Chi was now crawling and wiping the floor with the end of his sleeve.

With the pair of reddened eye rims, Ho-Chi blew on the floor as he wiped inch after inch of the room as he crawled on his hands and knees.

To clean, Ho-Chi at least needed some utensils but, because Master Cheon-Ho did not allow Ho-Chi to leave, Ho-Chi had to make do with what little he had.

Much more, Ho-Chi at least needed a cleaning clothes to wipe the floor, but without any of them Master Cheon-Ho ordered Ho-Chi to work.

So, the only outcome was for Ho-Chi to use his sleeve to wipe the floor while try to control his reddened eye rims.

Kowtowing so low on the floor, Ho-Chi's face almost touched the floor as he diligently wiped the smooth surfaces in the room. Watching this, Master Cheon-Ho became angry at himself for what he did.

"Get out…"

"…Sorry?"

"Stay outside!!"

Startled by Master Cheon-Ho's outburst, Ho-Chi hastily ran out of the room.

When Ho-Chi was gone, Master Cheon-Ho got up from his seat and began to destroy things in the room. Starting from decorations from the walls to the blinds over the windows, nothings was left whole by the time Master Cheon-Ho was finished. Not had enough, Master Cheon-Ho screamed in frustration.

Not understanding the source of the jitters, Master Cheon-Ho could not sleep last night. He felt suffocated. Master Cheon-Ho looked back on his orders to Ho-Chi and couldn't help but be angry once again. The foreign sensation was irritating, and Master Cheon-Ho let the anger out by screaming some more.

The subordinates outside heard the scream and labeled it as just another one of Master Cheon-Ho's outbursts and casually returned to their works.

In the room, Master Cheon-Ho was looking at the only object that was not destroyed in the room, Ho-Chi's silk fabric. Studying the intricate designs, Master Cheon-Ho let out a sigh.

Still jittery, Master Cheon-Ho could not help but paced in the room and occasionally let out a burst of screams. His hysterical behavior continued until he stopped himself and look down on the silk fabric once more. Master Cheon-Ho's gaze landed on the fabric's beautiful needlework. A gentle emotion tickled Master Cheon-Ho's heart and he blushed.

Last night, Ho-Chi entered Master Cheon-Ho's heart.
