Chapter 220
Extra Chapter (1)
By the time Zhi Yao learned to speak human language, she was already several hundred years old!
The young foxes of her kind had long since learned to transform into human form and speak human words, but she remained silly and clumsy, unable to do anything.
She was accustomed to sleeping nestled in Mother's large tail, or curled up alone like a little ball in the mountain cave.
Her only friend lived in the river: a little white fox that looked exactly like her.
Whenever she went to the riverside, she could see her good friend.
However... her friend had never spoken to her. Every time she did something, her friend would mimic the same action, and moreover, she couldn't speak.
Zhi Yao was very lonely.
This loneliness finally disappeared on this day.
As usual, Mother had gone out, leaving Zhi Yao alone at home, bored out of her mind.
Suddenly, she felt a strong urge to go to the riverside to play with her good friend. After a satisfying nap and plenty of sunbathing, Zhi Yao set off.
The little cream puff wobbled her way to the riverside. Just as she was about to greet her friend as usual, something shiny caught her eye from the corner of her vision: it looked like a scale.
She quickly turned her head to look, and saw... a person.
A person she had never seen before.
Zhi Yao had seen many people; the fox village was full of them, all transformed foxes.
Only she couldn't transform. At present, she could barely stammer out a few human words.
Mother said she was just developing slowly, not stupid. Maybe in a few years, she would have a breakthrough and become a very, very clever fox.
She asked Mother if a very, very clever fox was the kind that could make many good friends.
Mother looked at her, sighed, and said nothing.
The little one timidly looked at the person before her. He didn't spit at her and call her a big fool like the other foxes did. Instead, he just stared at her steadily.
He wore a long dark blue robe, was very tall, with a calm demeanor, but his features were quite handsome.
He was the most handsome person Zhi Yao had ever seen.
She had never seen a fox in the village as handsome as him.
That word... it was "handsome," right?
While she was lost in thought, the person walked towards her. Zhi Yao stared at him blankly, forgetting to run away.
The next moment, he picked her up with one hand. "Where did this fox come from? Hmm? Did you... see just now?"
See? See what?
Zhi Yao opened her mouth, wanting to ask him, but when she tried to speak, all that came out was a "woo woo woo" sound that only baby foxes could make.
The little girl deflated immediately.
She wanted to learn to speak like humans, why... couldn't she say anything?
Perhaps her expression was too genuine, for the man actually smiled. "Why are you looking so aggrieved?"
Zhi Yao tilted her head, staring at him blankly.
So... so handsome...
She felt a bit dizzy and light-headed.
He bent down and placed her on the ground. His long, warm fingers gently stroked Zhi Yao's back. Her fur was soft, pleasantly tickling his hand.
But the one who felt more comfortable was Zhi Yao.
After just a few strokes, Zhi Yao was so content that she rolled over, exposing her belly to him.
The little one wriggled on the ground, desperately trying to snuggle into his arms.
As she wriggled, another flash of brightness caught her eye. This time, the little one didn't miss it.
It was...
A scale!
She suddenly opened her mouth and bit onto the scale hidden in his long sleeve.
But before she could pull it out, a sharp pain shot through her cheek.
The previously gentle man suddenly changed his expression, looking at Zhi Yao with a gloomy face. "Let go."
Zhi Yao, with tears welling up from the pain, hurriedly released her bite. The man checked the scale in his pocket, confirming it was intact, before turning his attention back to Zhi Yao.
The murderous intent in his eyes made Zhi Yao's fur stand on end, and she tried to run away.
But just as she turned to flee, her head suddenly became dizzy and confused.
Then, Zhi Yao tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground.
Perhaps because she looked so comical, the man paused for a moment. Then, the killing intent in his eyes faded a bit, and a faint smile returned to his lips.
"What a stupid fox."
But then something even more troublesome happened. Not only did Zhi Yao feel dizzy, but her body also started to heat up.
She rolled around on the ground uncomfortably, twisting and turning, her big tail standing straight up.
Soon, the man noticed that something was wrong with Zhi Yao. He quickly walked over and picked her up. "What's wrong with you?"
Zhi Yao wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word.

It hurts... it hurts so much...
Why was this happening?
It felt as if something was about to burst out of her.
Ji Qingpei was about to examine Zhi Yao's body, but the little one was very uncooperative, constantly squirming in his arms. Her sharp claws scratched him painfully even through his clothes.
But Ji Qingpei paid no attention to this. He held Zhi Yao tightly, patting the little fox's back gently as if soothing a young child, constantly reassuring her, "It's alright, you'll feel better soon."
He guessed it must be because of the dragon scale.
He had been searching for this dragon scale for a long time and had finally found it today.
It was also because of this dragon scale that he confirmed that dragons truly existed in this world.
The dragon scale was imbued with a lot of dragon spiritual energy. This fox cub was too young, probably unable to withstand the spiritual energy on it, which was why she felt such pain and discomfort.
But fortunately, that spiritual energy wasn't anything bad. Once she got through this, it should greatly benefit this little fox's cultivation.
He gently stroked Zhi Yao's entire body, and finally... the little one in his arms stopped struggling.
Looking at the weak, half-closed eyes of the little creature in his arms, he sighed softly, "This is what you get for biting things carelessly. Feeling uncomfortable now, aren't you?"
This was truly an extremely adorable white fox. Even though he had seen so many spirits before: seductive ones, alluring ones: none of them had touched his heart like this one.
Zhi Yao was drenched in sweat. Her whole body felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, uncomfortable to the point of madness.
It seemed... it seemed as if something was about to change.
Just when Ji Qingpei thought she had recovered, suddenly, a bright light flashed in his arms. Then, to Ji Qingpei's surprise, a young girl appeared in his arms...
She was completely naked, her skin as white as snow, with two large fox ears on top of her head, and her tail innocently wrapped around his arm.
Golden eyes stared fixedly at him, filled with the innocence and bewilderment unique to young animals.
Ji Qingpei was stunned, and so was Zhi Yao.
But she hadn't realized at all that she had already transformed back into a human.
She only felt that the burning sensation in her body seemed to have subsided a little, and she couldn't help but rest her head on Ji Qingpei's shoulder, wanting to take a break.
However, in the next second, she sensed that the person holding her had suddenly become rigid...
Zhi Yao had never known that, in fact, from the very beginning, Ji Qingpei's interest in her had been sparked by her appearance.
