The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot C.158

But next, Pei Chiyao did not pay any attention to Anthony.

His eyes were deep and pensive, his thoughts were in chaos, and the closer he got to this place, the more he felt like he was forgetting something.

As for what it was... he didn't know, but he could be certain that it was definitely related to Zhi Yao.

Thinking of this, he suddenly tightened his grip on Zhi Yao's hand.

His strength was not small, and Zhi Yao immediately sucked in a breath of cool air from the pain, but she did not cry out loud, and instead asked, "Pei Chiyao, what... what's wrong with you?"

It was only then that Pei Chiyao reacted, shaking his head, "Nothing."

He hurriedly went to check Zhi Yao's hand, only to see that there was indeed a red mark on the young lady's fair arm.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Before Pei Chiyao could open his mouth, Zhi Yao took the first step to say.

Anthony, who was watching from the side, was completely speechless. It was just a small red mark, wasn't it? It would disappear within three minutes, right? Did these two people really need to be so dramatic?

He was the one who was truly in pain, wasn't he?

"Hey... are you sure you won't save me?"

If this continued, Anthony felt that he would definitely die from excessive blood loss!

It was only then that Pei Chiyao noticed Anthony standing on the side, and of course, he also saw the blood on his legs.

Anthony couldn't wait to start complaining, "Look at this Zhi Yao, she did this to me, how am I supposed to lead the way like this? How could she be so thoughtless."

He had thought that Pei Chiyao would also say something to Zhi Yao, but he never expected this person to just give him a casual glance, and then... grab Zhi Yao's hand again and softly say, "Baby, you didn't hurt yourself when you were holding the knife earlier, did you?"

Anthony: "?!"

What the hell, was he... deaf or hallucinating?!

He had seen spoiled husbands, but he had never seen one so spoiled!

The sour and stinky smell of love! Yuck!

"I'm fine, I'm okay."

Zhi Yao frowned and looked at Anthony, "This person, he's very untrustworthy, he clearly knew it would have this effect on you, but he didn't tell you in advance."

At this moment, Zhi Yao's impression of Anthony had plummeted to the bottom.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if he didn't tell me."

Because... he seemed to have guessed some things, and the top priority was to rush to Xuanling Town as soon as possible.

"Lead the way."

Pei Chiyao stood up and glanced coldly at Anthony.

The guard beside him immediately understood and picked up Anthony like a chick, throwing him straight into the car. Anthony's cries of protest had not even come out of his mouth when a slaughtering-like scream rang out again.

"Ah--"

The guard was treating Anthony's wounds, and it wasn't until he finished screaming that Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao got into the car.

At the same time, Pei Chiyao instructed the guards who had been following them all the way to return, as they could continue the rest of the journey alone, just the three of them.

It wasn't until they got into the car that Zhi Yao realized that Anthony, who had originally been in high spirits, now looked like a completely different person.

Not only was his face pale, almost devoid of color, but his mental state also wasn't very good.

Crazy, this Pei Chiyao and Zhi Yao were absolutely crazy!

He was starting to regret getting involved with these two lunatics!

"Start giving directions."

Pei Chiyao readjusted his own state and took the driver's seat.

Anthony glared at Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao, resigned to start giving directions.

...

About half an hour later, the car stopped again, arriving at a desolate place.

Zhi Yao curiously looked around, the unique keen intuition of a small animal telling her that they... seemed to have arrived at a very special place.

"Anthony, have we reached Xuanling Town?"

Zhi Yao asked, but for a long time, she didn't get a reply from Anthony in the backseat.

The young lady turned back to see Anthony's expression was very dazed, "That's not right! The last time I came, this wasn't how I got in!"

He remembered that back then, he had to put in a lot of effort to get in, first finding the Ji Family Ancestral Hall ruins, and then by chance, he returned to Xuanling Town.

Why... why was it like they came in directly this time?

It was impossible! These two places weren't even in the same space.

Pei Chiyao abruptly stopped the car, "Get out, we've arrived."

What? They had arrived?

Anthony felt everything around him was completely unfamiliar, he couldn't believe this was the Xuanling Town he had come to last time.

He hurriedly stopped them, "No, we can't just get out like this! What if there's danger down there!"

But Pei Chiyao seemed to not have heard him, "Yao, we're here, get out."

Zhi Yao nodded and immediately got out of the car with Pei Chiyao.

Anthony had no other choice, as he absolutely dared not stay there alone, so he lifted one leg, hobbling as he also got out of the car, shouting as he got out, "Wait for me, don't wander off! If you wander off, the Ji Family ancestors will punish you!"

But no matter what Anthony said next, Pei Chiyao seemed not to have heard it.

He walked quickly, his steps light, without the slightest hesitation, as if... this place was his home.

Anthony followed Pei Chiyao, growing more anxious with each step, "Can't you not run around! Where are you going?!"

Zhi Yao was originally walking behind Pei Chiyao, but now she had to lengthen her stride and run along with him.

"Pei Chiyao, do you... know the way?"

"I do." Pei Chiyao nodded with certainty, telling Zhi Yao, "Yao, I've been here before."

This statement startled Zhi Yao, but what he said next made Zhi Yao feel even more perplexed.

"You've been here too."

If it weren't for Pei Chiyao's tone being too certain and his expression too serious, Zhi Yao would have thought Pei Chiyao was joking.

How could she have possibly come to such a remote place?

Originally, Pei Chiyao's heart was only speculating, but until his feet landed on this soil, the moment he stepped onto this land, he suddenly realized... he didn't even need to recall, he knew what was ahead.

Although the surroundings were currently shrouded in mist, even if he closed his eyes, he would know where this was.

This was once a bamboo grove.

It was here that he first encountered Zhi Yao.

He had remembered now...

The white fox that had saved him was actually Zhi Yao.

Back then, Zhi Yao was just a cub, a true cub, and had not cultivated into a human form.

As for him, he was from the Ji Family.

A... demon hunter.

His memories after that were quite hazy, and Pei Chiyao found it hard to see clearly.

He had long guessed that he and Zhi Yao must have a deep connection, but what he couldn't understand was, in this life, he was a dragon, so why in these fleeting memories did he appear to be just a human?
