Chapter 552 You Can Fish It Out

Xiao Jihui spoke sincerely and with a serious expression. After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the group, which was very touching.

"There's no need for that. Aren't we discussing this right now? If we weren't going to get involved, who would want to waste so much breath nagging you about this?"

Qi Yingxuan's words gave Xiao Jihui a glimmer of hope. His eyes brightened slightly as he gazed at the other person with anticipation.

Qi Yingxuan felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze and turned to look at Jun Wuduan.

Jun Wuduan exchanged a glance with him, then turned to look at Jiang Lin, who was leaning against a pillar and had been playing the role of a background character from beginning to end.

These three men, who usually acted independently and had little interaction, surprisingly showed a tacit understanding at this moment.

Their gazes met briefly in the air before they both looked at Ye Wanxi.

Ye Wanxi, who suddenly became the center of attention: "???"

Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he almost immediately stepped in front of Ye Wanxi, refusing, "No."

Qi Yingxuan touched his nose and immediately backed down: "Actually, I also think this suggestion is not very good."

Jiang Lin nodded in agreement.

Jun Wuduan was also unwilling to let Ye Wanxi take this risk, but...

"It's already escaped, so it's bound to come looking for Junior Sister. In that case, it's always better to plan ahead than to be caught off guard. Or do you really think that even with the rest of us, you can't protect Junior Sister?"

Although Jun Wuduan's words had a slightly provocative tone, they were also true and effective.

Feng Tianyu's expression grew increasingly gloomy, but he ultimately remained silent.

Ye Wanxi, who was at the center of the conversation, was completely confused: "What kind of riddles are you playing? What are you looking for me about? And what can't you protect me from? This has something to do with me, right? Explain yourself!"

Xiao Jihui was also unsure of what these people were up to, so he could only stare at them with questioning eyes, along with Ye Wanxi.

The group, who had been talking so enthusiastically just moments before, suddenly fell silent, their eyes darting around, none of them willing to be the first to speak.

Ye Wanxi frowned, her gaze sweeping over the group of people before finally settling on Qi Yingxuan.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you speak."

"Me?" Qi Yingxuan pointed to himself, not understanding how he had gotten himself into trouble.

"I...I..."

"Let me explain," Jun Wuduan said at the right moment to help Qi Yingxuan out of the predicament, while also giving him a teasing look that was actually quite sarcastic.

Qi Yingxuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, thought, "..." This damned fox is as annoying as ever!

"You've probably noticed it yourself; you're very easily loved by small animals."

Ye Wanxi was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Putting aside the two commotions she caused when she participated in a variety show, which resembled animal worship, it is said that when she lived in the mountains in her previous life, she was also particularly loved by the small animals in the mountains. It was almost to the point that whenever she went into the mountains, little creatures would rush to bring her fruit and flowers.

“At first, we didn’t pay much attention. Until one time, you went to visit your junior uncle and sparred with one of the senior sisters there, and you accidentally scraped your skin. There were probably a few birds watching, and they mistakenly thought that the senior sister was bullying you. From then on, every time the senior sister went out, she would encounter bird droppings.”

"Pfft..." Xiao Jihui had never heard of such a thing before and couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Wanxi was completely puzzled. "Is that so? How come I didn't know about this?"

Seemingly noticing Ye Wanxi's confusion, Jun Wuduan's smile deepened: "At first, no one thought of it that way, so we didn't mention it to you. It wasn't until similar things happened more and more often that even Master noticed something was wrong, so... he investigated it behind your back."

"Huh?" Ye Wanxi's eyes widened. She never expected that her master and several senior brothers had researched such a thing.

"And then? What did you discover?"

Seeing that she wasn't angry because of their concealment, Jun Wuduan breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious, and smiled slightly: "It's a bit complicated to explain, but simply put, it's a matter of constitution. In modern terms, you have something in your body that only animals can feel, something like dopamine. It makes them unconsciously close to you and like you whenever they get near you."

Upon hearing Jun Wuduan's words, not only Ye Wanxi but even Xiao Jihui looked dazed, as if his worldview had been severely shaken: "It can be like this?"

Ye Wanxi was silent for a moment, then quickly realized the meaning of what the others had just said: "The Hou is a ferocious beast, and can be considered a type of animal. So, do you think it will be attracted to me and come to me on its own, like other animals?"

"Yes. Once it notices your presence, it will definitely come looking for you." Then, they can easily catch it in their own fishpond.

Jun paused here, coughed lightly, and gave an example: "When a Hou eats people, an ordinary person may just be a fragrant chicken leg or a roasted wing in its eyes, but you are different. In its eyes, you may be a royal banquet with perfect color, aroma and taste."

Ye Wanxi, who suddenly realized how incredibly delicious she was: "..." trembling.jpg

Seeing her subtle expression and furrowed brows, Feng Tianyu said in a low voice, "If you're not willing, then forget it. I'll go with Lao Si to look for it, and we can find it too."

Ye Wanxi didn't react for a moment, but after she figured it out, she wasn't so troubled anymore.

"It's alright. Just like Third Senior Brother said, if it's really attracted to me, it's only a matter of time before it comes looking for me. In that case, let's strike first and lure it over here, then we can catch it like a turtle in a jar. That way, at least we have the initiative in our hands."

As for being eaten, that's impossible, not even in the next life!

Seeing that she insisted, Feng Tianyu didn't say anything more.

His feelings toward that little creature were always complicated. After Ye Wanxi left in his previous life, that little creature had always followed him.

That's why she inevitably became tainted by his violent temper and became unpredictable.

Therefore, when he chose to reincarnate, he had to use a portion of his magical power to suppress it.

Even after so many years, Feng Tianyu still couldn't confirm whether the little thing was still affected by the malevolent energy, or whether its attitude towards Ye Wanxi was the same as in its previous life.

Thinking of this, Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

That would be best; otherwise, don't blame him for being ruthless.

The matter was settled. It was actually quite simple to lure the little thing over; all we had to do was take some things that Ye Wanxi had used and that had been imbued with her scent and wander around to attract its attention.

The one who will carry out this task is none other than Jiang Lin.

However, even Ye Wanxi did not expect that the day after her fourth senior brother took action, this little thing that had been hiding without a trace would appear without warning at...her feet.
