Chapter 163
Those two words, Anthony simply could not bring himself to say.
Earlier, he had almost wanted to kill Pei Chiyao... But now, he suddenly discovered that he was the reincarnation of his own ancestor... this was just too mind-shattering for Anthony!
Was there anything more emotionally torturous than this in the world?!
Anthony's mentality had completely crumbled. In an instant, he felt that his wounds no longer hurt; what truly hurt was his heart!!!
Pei Chiyao glanced at Anthony coldly, not responding to him.
But it was this single glance that utterly shattered Anthony's defenses, his great defenses.
This demeanor was absolutely identical to Ji Qingpei's! Too terrifying!
He clutched his fragile, shattered chest and stood up.
Pei Chiyao forcefully pulled the crouching little girl up, ruffled her hair, and said, "Stick out your tail."
"Wh-what for?" Zhi Yao snapped out of her own recollections in a daze and looked at Pei Chiyao.
Her eyes were full of bewilderment.
"Stick it out."
Pei Chiyao did not explain, but merely repeated himself.
Perhaps it was because Pei Chiyao's expression was too solemn, Zhi Yao thought he had discovered some tremendous matter, and hurriedly stuck out her tail, obediently offering the tip to Pei Chiyao's palm.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Is there a problem with my tail?" The little girl grew anxious.
Pei Chiyao did not answer, his slender fingertips caressing Zhi Yao's fluffy, large tail. After a moment, a large clump of fur came loose.
Upon seeing this, Zhi Yao immediately flew into a rage, "You! You actually plucked my fur! Pei Chiyao, you big meanie!"
If he kept plucking like this, she would become a bald vixen!
Pei Chiyao ignored the fuming Zhi Yao, instead handing the clump of fur back to her, "Fur ball."
Ah?
Zhi Yao was utterly dumbfounded.
She gazed at Pei Chiyao in bewilderment, completely unaware of his intentions.
Seeing the little vixen's expression, the man sighed and spoke, "I want a fur ball too."
What?! So Pei Chiyao had her stick out her tail just to get a fur ball?!
In the past, when Zhi Yao was a cub, she did not understand beauty or ugliness, only thinking it was fun, which was why she would pluck her own fur to play with. But the present Zhi Yao was different.
She had grown up and become a beautiful vixen, aware of the importance of her fur! She would not carelessly pluck it for no reason!
"No!" The little girl raised her head defiantly, directly refusing Pei Chiyao's request, "I won't! Making a fur ball requires a lot of fur, and I... I can't bear to..."
The more she spoke, the smaller Zhi Yao's voice grew, her tone becoming increasingly aggrieved.
Zhi Yao did not know if it was her imagination, but after she said this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. The little girl looked up to see Pei Chiyao's face darkened to the utmost degree.
The man's voice was filled with gritted teeth, "You can't bear to give me any, but you could bear to give him?"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Yao had yet to process the meaning when Anthony nearly coughed up blood on the other side. Was this for real? His ancestor was actually jealous of himself?!
Oh god! His view of the world was shattered.
But when Zhi Yao heard these words, she only felt more aggrieved, "But... but... I really don't know him."
As if afraid of angering Pei Chiyao, Zhi Yao carefully grasped his sleeve and shook it twice, "Pei Chiyao, I don't want to become a bald vixen. If I become bald, I won't look good anymore, and you won't like me anymore."
"It's fine, even if you don't have a single hair on your body, I will still love you deeply." Pei Chiyao coaxed Zhi Yao smoothly, "Be good, my good girl, give me a fur ball, okay?"
It was well known that what Zhi Yao could not resist most was Pei Chiyao's coaxing. When he softened his deep voice to murmur sweetly in her ear, half of Zhi Yao's body would go limp.
"Th-then... okay." In the end, the little girl still could not resist the temptation of his charms, obediently beginning to pluck her own tail.
Seeing her obedient, adorable demeanor, Pei Chiyao's heart melted into a puddle.
No one noticed that, at this very moment, the surrounding scene had imperceptibly changed.
Originally, the world visible to their line of sight was hazy, as if covered by a thin veil. But now, it had become very clear, as if... they had fully merged into this world.
The little girl carefully plucked her large tail, her brows furrowing and nose wrinkling with each strand that fell, revealing an utterly heartbroken expression.
"Wah wah wah, my Yigubigu has left me, wah wah wah wah, my Makabaka has left me too, wah wah wah, this is my Natasha."
She mumbled to herself, and Anthony's lips twitched. For some reason, he suddenly felt very sympathetic towards Zhi Yao. Upon seeing that she too would be tormented by the madman Pei Chiyao, he felt a strong sense of having found a kindred spirit!
He hurried over to Zhi Yao's side and asked, "What are you saying? What's Makabaka?"
Why did that name sound a bit familiar?
"It's my fur, I have a name for every single strand of fur!" Zhi Yao said.
If one were to say what Zhi Yao's most prized possession was, it would undoubtedly be her snowy white fur.
Anthony: "..."
Was this girl an idiot?!
He watched wide-eyed as Zhi Yao formed a fur ball the size of a sesame seed, her expression one of heartbreak, before trembling as she handed it to Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao looked at the fur ball, narrowing his eyes, the dissatisfaction in his heart threatening to spill over, "Why is his as big as his palm, while mine is so small?"
He gave a cold laugh.
Could it be that this smelly vixen actually loved his previous self more than his current self?
For some reason, the moment he considered this, Pei Chiyao wished he could rush over and kill his former self!
Upon hearing this, Zhi Yao felt as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky, "Small? Do you know, this fur is my most precious treasure!"
It was practically grown from the tip of her heart, okay?! And Pei Chiyao actually thought it was too small?!
Anthony could no longer bear to watch, "Have you gone mad, Pei Chiyao? You're actually jealous of your... self?"
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Chiyao suddenly gave Anthony a look that instantly made him shut his mouth.
"Eat? Eat what?"
Zhi Yao immediately perked up, "Is there anything to eat here?"
Anthony: "......"
There's no hope, this fox, really, destroy it! This world!
Speechless! Why did he end up with these two people?!
