The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 168

Zhi Yao had reached a new level of self-satisfaction.

Excited, she transformed back into her human form, wanting to show her younger self what she looked like now that she could take on a human shape. After all, her greatest desire as a child was to grow up and become a beautiful lady, preferably as beautiful as her mother. Now that her dream had come true, Zhi Yao could hardly contain her excitement.

She hurriedly pulled Pei Chiyao along as they ran inside, but before they could reach her fox den, they were spotted by other foxes in the village.

"Who goes there!" a vigilant young man with red fox ears scanned the surroundings.

It was well-known that the Fox Clan despised humans. In their eyes, all exorcists were human, which meant that humans were no good either. Although Zhi Yao could transform back into a fox, Pei Chiyao couldn't.

She quickly pulled Pei Chiyao down, hiding behind a bush.

"Shh," Zhi Yao gestured for silence.

After a while, there was no more movement from the young man.

Just as the little girl was about to rise and take a quiet peek, a dark shadow suddenly flashed overhead, followed by a muffled groan.

The young man with red fox ears lay sprawled on the ground.

Zhi Yao's eyes widened in shock, her hand clamped tightly over her mouth.

She saw... she saw Ji Qingpei again!

He had actually killed that Red Fox!

What was he trying to do?

Zhi Yao, fuming with rage, tried to rush out, but Pei Chiyao grabbed her hand.

"Yao Yao, let me remind you once more, this is an illusion. Everything you see is fake. That Red Fox boy might be living somewhere else right now, or he might have died long ago. But he definitely didn't die just now."

Pei Chiyao's words completely woke Zhi Yao up.

Zhi Yao bit her lip, forcibly suppressing the chill in her heart.

Even if... even if it was an illusion, she couldn't accept someone hurting her kin like this!

Although her kin didn't like her much, they still shared a blood connection.

"So what do we do now?" the little girl's tone had clearly dropped.

"Wait."

Wait?

Not long after, Ji Qingpei ran out of Zhi Yao's fox den.

He went in empty-handed and came out the same way.

This meant one thing: "Zhi Yao" wasn't inside.

She could clearly see that Ji Qingpei's expression had turned quite displeased.

But there was one thing Zhi Yao didn't understand. If Ji Qingpei was looking for her, why did he let her leave earlier?

The little girl was very confused. Everything happening here was incredibly complex for her.

Just then, a voice suddenly spoke near her ear.

"Zhi Yi's daughter, Zhi Yao, that white fox is growing bigger by the day. What do you think... we should do?"

"We didn't kill her back then because she has half Wolf Tribe blood. You should know how terrifying the Wolf Tribe is, so I thought this child would also be a formidable existence like the Wolf Tribe. I never expected this child to be a simpleton."

"Yes, originally we planned to cultivate her well, make her serve our Fox Clan first, and then eventually drain all her spiritual power for our use. Who knew this cursed spawn would be so useless? Old Red, I think we can't keep this cursed spawn anymore. She's growing bigger now, and will surely start showing some Wolf Tribe traits. If it's discovered then..."

"Let's wait a bit longer," the one called Old Red sighed, "Wait a bit more. I always feel that with Zhi Yi's special bloodline, even mixed with the Wolf Tribe, she couldn't have given birth to someone this weak."

"We can't wait any longer!" The other voice sounded extremely anxious. "Really can't wait! Some days ago, that cursed spawn was taken away by someone. When she came back, she knew nothing, looked even more stupid. Who knows if the Wolf Tribe has discovered her? Do you think with our Fox Clan's current strength, we can fight the Wolf Tribe?"

Of course, they couldn't.

If this cursed spawn had no value to them, she absolutely couldn't be kept any longer.

Hearing this, Zhi Yao froze on the spot.

This voice was... this voice was...

She wouldn't forget it.

It was Uncle Red Fox! The one... she had shot dead with her own hands!

He had wanted to kill her when she was this young?

Zhi Yao felt like she'd been plunged into an ice cave, her blood seemingly frozen.

Actually, when they said young, it wasn't truly the milk-drinking phase of a cub. It's just that Zhi Yao's lifespan was so long, seemingly endless, that this period could barely be considered her childhood.

Beside her, Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes as a memory flashed through his mind.

If he remembered correctly...

Just as he was about to continue his thoughts, something in his brain seemed to snap, a piercing pain nearly causing him to faint.

If not for his extraordinary self-control and willpower, he might have actually passed out.

Was there... something he had overlooked?

Zhi Yao had been taken away from here before. If nothing went wrong, it should have been Ji Qingpei who took her.

Could it be that something happened on the way, causing Zhi Yao to be sealed?

But Pei Chiyao had absolutely no memory of what happened afterwards.

The two figures walked further away, their voices fading.

"Let me think about how to handle this matter. That cursed spawn, our Fox Clan has raised her for so many years, it's really too much of a waste to kill her now."

"Old Red, you'd better make a decision quickly! Recently, Zhi Yi has obviously become more protective of her. Who knows what happened. If Zhi Yi escapes with the cursed spawn, what happens then will be completely out of our control."

...

As they walked further away, a man's figure suddenly alighted from a tree.

It was Ji Qingpei, who had also been hiding.

His slender fingers played with the furball, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing across his features.

"These useless old fools of the Fox Clan, they actually dare to have designs on my Yao Yao? Dreaming fools."

Before they could lay a hand on Zhi Yao, he would definitely annihilate the entire Fox Clan first, then take Zhi Yao away from here.

When the time comes... they could go to a place where there are no people, no other species, just him and Zhi Yao.

But now, where on earth had his mischievous little fox hidden herself?

A playful smile tugged at the corner of Ji Qingpei's lips. Suddenly, he turned around and raised his gaze, looking directly at the spot where Zhi Yao was hiding.

"Ah, so... you're here, my little darling."
