The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 169

The moment Zhi Yao heard her name come from Ji Qingpei's mouth, her entire body went rigid.

For a moment, she didn't even know what to do.

Should she... escape? Or go out?

Ji Qingpei wouldn't kill her, would he?

Zhi Yao was trembling all over.

She hurriedly glanced over at Pei Chiyao, whose gaze was also fixed on Ji Qingpei.

Zhi Yao inched her way over to Pei Chiyao cautiously, "Pei Chiyao... what should we do? He, he seems to have discovered me."

"Then let him discover you."

Compared to the extremely anxious Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao seemed much more relaxed.

He suddenly stood up, an action that startled Zhi Yao.

"What... what are you doing!"

Pei Chiyao curved his lips slightly, looking at the crouching girl, and ruffled her hair. Due to her nervousness, the little girl's Fox ears had popped out, "Don't be afraid."

Originally, Zhi Yao wasn't afraid, but she felt that Ji Qingpei exuded an eerie vibe... and he could kill people without batting an eye. Zhi Yao had never seen someone so terrifying.

The moment Pei Chiyao stood up, Ji Qingpei raised an eyebrow, but there was no surprise in his eyes, "So you're that Pei Chiyao? You're the one who lured my Yao Yao away?"

Pei Chiyao had long been annoyed by this imposter.

That's right, an imposter.

Everything in the illusion was fake, just as Pei Chiyao had told Zhi Yao. He was his former self, it's true, but the real Ji Qingpei had long since died. Rather than saying he was Ji Qingpei, it would be more accurate to say that he was a lingering obsession of Ji Qingpei's from his previous life. Until his death, Ji Qingpei had never been with Zhi Yao, so she became an obsession in his heart, an obsession that existed even after he turned to ashes.

So in this life, as soon as he was born, he realized that he had a different kind of affection for Foxes. He was allergic to all animals, except for Zhi Yao.

The first time he saw Zhi Yao, he had an overwhelmingly familiar feeling.

That sense of possession ingrained in his bones, that obsession and perversion ingrained in his bones, could all be explained in that moment.

Ji Qingpei wasn't Ji Qingpei, he was just a lingering obsession that remained in this illusion from his previous life. Sometimes, when certain emotions intensified to a critical point, they could unleash an astonishing force.

He didn't take Ji Qingpei seriously.

"Your Yao Yao?" Pei Chiyao sneered coldly, "What are you? You're not even worthy of competing with me."

Zhi Yao looked utterly bewildered as she watched the two of them, why... why had the plot developed in a direction she couldn't control?

That Ji Qingpei laughed too, but not a cold laugh, rather a mocking one, "You're wearing my face, bewitching my naive little ancestor. How dare you say what I am?"

As the words fell, his laughter suddenly vanished.

He stretched out his hand towards Zhi Yao, "Yao Yao, come with me, and I'll spare this man."

Zhi Yao frowned, looking a bit troubled, "I'm not your Yao Yao, I'm Pei Chiyao's Yao Yao. Oh, how should I put this... your Yao Yao, I don't know where she is now!"

That sentence came out like a tongue-twister, confusing even Zhi Yao herself.

"Wait, wait, let me sort it out, then I'll explain it to you."

The little girl was about to go into seclusion. For the first time, she regretted being so playful! Now she didn't know where she had run off to!

Darn it!

Hurry back!

"I don't have that much patience!" Ji Qingpei's expression suddenly turned cold, his face changing greatly, "Are you coming with me or not? You're not coming with me, are you? If you don't come with me, I'll kill him! I'll kill everyone here!"

"Are you insane!" Zhi Yao felt this person was simply unreasonable!

She had witnessed Pei Chiyao's obsession with her before, originally thinking that Pei Chiyao was already the epitome of obsessed and deranged. But she never expected... Ji Qingpei would be even more extreme.

Before Zhi Yao could open her mouth, Ji Qingpei had already started acting, "I'll kill him first!"

Zhi Yao snapped back to her senses, looking at Pei Chiyao, "Pei Chiyao, be careful!"

An imposter was nothing to Pei Chiyao, not something he took seriously at all.

But Zhi Yao's heart was already in her throat.

She had seen Pei Chiyao kill people before, his speed was fast, accurate and vicious, but after all, he had only faced ordinary people, not someone like Ji Qingpei who could use spiritual power.

But to Zhi Yao's utter surprise, something unexpected happened.

Pei Chiyao nonchalantly raised his hand, his palm brimming with an extremely powerful force. The moment Ji Qingpei's spiritual power reached Pei Chiyao, that energy suddenly lashed out fiercely at Ji Qingpei.

In an instant, Ji Qingpei's eyes went wide, "You... where did you get the Dragon Clan's energy from?"

The Dragon Clan was an extremely powerful, ancient and mysterious clan.

They weren't demons, they were gods.

But thousands of years ago, the last dragon in this world had already disappeared without a trace.

In other words - extinct.

Once upon a time, Ji Qingpei had exhausted all his efforts and time, all for the sake of finding the dragon's energy.

He wanted to become strong enough, the strongest person in the world, so that he could protect Zhi Yao and be with her.

He had expended all his efforts to find the world's last dragon and formed a contract with it.

Theoretically, there should be no way for anyone else to find a second dragon in this world. So... where did the energy this man possessed come from?

Why was his power greater than his own?

Ji Qingpei narrowed his eyes as the two began to trade blows rapidly.

Zhi Yao watched from the sidelines in heart-pounding suspense. She had never seen such power before.

It was a power that could terrify all living beings and turn their livers to jelly.

She stood in place, panting heavily, as if something in her chest was vaguely resonating, as if... as if something was about to break through the surface.

The little girl endured it over and over, until finally, with a "Wa" sound, she coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

Pei Chiyao was the first to notice Zhi Yao's abnormality, he snapped back to his senses, looking at Zhi Yao, "Yao Yao!"

Suddenly, Pei Chiyao also had no time to care about Ji Qingpei, as Ji Qingpei was clearly no match for him. After all, Ji Qingpei was merely a remnant soul, how could he possibly be as powerful as Pei Chiyao's true form?

However, Ji Qingpei seized the opportunity when Pei Chiyao was distracted, and fiercely raised his hand, striking swiftly towards Pei Chiyao's back.

His robes fluttered as a dark aura seemed to emanate from his furrowed brow. "Zhi Yao is mine! Mine alone! Anyone who tries to take Zhi Yao from me must die!"

Pei Chiyao took the blow directly, but swiftly returned to Zhi Yao's side at an incredible speed.

Upon investigating, he suddenly discovered something... the seal on Zhi Yao had loosened?!
