Chapter 67: The Eunuch's Fox Pet

Pei Duo continued to help the little fox clean the dirt as if nothing had happened. He picked up the clean and wet little fox and used his spiritual power to dry it.

As the little fox breathed, light pink mist continuously overflowed from his body.

Pei Duo knew that this was probably the aftereffect of swallowing the Peach Blossom Demon's demon pill which had not yet been refined, so he put Lin Zhi on the bed.

There were still things in the palace that needed his attention, so Pei Duo did not plan to take Lin Zhi with him.

Not only is Lin Zhi in a coma, the mist on his body will also affect humans.

In order to prevent anyone from courting the little fox, Pei Duo felt that leaving him here was the best option.

Pei Duo walked into the secret passage and turned back after a while.

Never mind. I'll always feel uneasy if I'm not watching you from the side.

In Yuxuan Palace, Pei Sheng received a message that Pei Duo would deal with some important memorials outside the palace today.

Pei Sheng immediately handed over the memorial that he had screened and watched the people move away.

When the memorial was delivered to the mansion, Pei Duo was sitting beside the bed, looking at the sleeping face of the little fox, and pinched the fox's tail lightly.

Before Lin Zhi came back, Pei Duo wanted to teach him a lesson, but now the little fox looked tired and exhausted, and it was obvious that he had just returned from a journey. Pei Duo was slightly annoyed and didn't know how to express his feelings, and finally all his thoughts turned into this action of pinching the tail.

It's neither right to reward nor to punish, and the heartless little thing can still sleep soundly.

Pei Duo was a scheming man, and he rarely found himself at a loss. However, he felt a sense of helplessness that was both comforting and frustrating.

"How strange."

Pei Duo murmured, looking at Lin Zhi thoughtfully.

When had he let his guard down so much that he didn't even notice Lin Zhi coming back. Has the headache affected him to this extent?

Pei Duo was combing Lin Zhi's hair, his eyes dark.

At this increasingly serious trend, how long does he have left?

The master was an expert in deduction, but he said he couldn't figure out his fate. Pei Duo thought maybe he could figure it out, but he just didn't say it.

People with extraordinary talents in this world often have short lives. This was something the master said unintentionally after getting drunk. Pei Duo had already realized this when his illness became increasingly serious and incurable.

Pei Duo's touch became lighter and lighter, and he rubbed the tip of the fox's ears. The fox in its sleep seemed to be aware of the disturbance and its ears moved slightly, which made Pei Duo's lips curl up.

It is so good to be a demon. Why bother to be a human and live this short life.

The memorial was brought into the mansion, but Pei Duo did not go to the study and stayed in the bedroom.

The light pink mist filled the room, and the sunlight outside could not shine in, making it appear hazy.

Pei Duo supported his head and fell asleep unknowingly.

Before my eyes is a dense peach forest with colorful fallen petals.

Pei Duo walked forward along the stone path, and his eyes became clear when he was about to enter the depths of the peach forest.

He looked around this slightly strange place that seemed like both a fantasy and a dream, and walked forward with confidence with a plan in mind.

The peach blossom demon's strength was not very weak. According to common sense, it should not be swallowed by the little fox that had not fully recovered.

Now that the little fox has swallowed her demon pill, it will be affected by the other party's demonic energy before it is completely refined. This peach blossom forest is the best symbol of this.

It seems that this peach blossom demon is good at illusion. He didn't take the red fog seriously at first. Now it seems that he was too careless and will still be pulled into the illusion.

This should be the little fox's dream. The solution to crack it is very simple. He just needs to find the exit.

Pei Duo approached and saw a natural pool with a light mist in front of him.

Why did Lin Zhi dream about this? Was it because he gave him a bath while he was asleep, so this scene naturally appeared in his dream?

However, there was no trace of the fox demon in the pond, and in the distance there was a thick white-gray fog, so that even the way forward could not be seen.

A leaf appeared between Pei Duo's fingers, flew away from his hand, slowly fell into the misty pool, and stopped on the water surface.

Pei Duo lowered his head and heard the sound of splashing water.

The boy emerged from the water, his long wet hair spread out behind his head, and looked at him with some curiosity.

The boy has a delicate and handsome face, and his narrow and long fox eyes make him look rather flamboyant, but the innocence and clarity in his eyes make his charm more innocent.

It was the first time that Pei Duo saw this face, but it merged perfectly with the back view he had seen in his memory, as if he subconsciously determined that if the fox-eared boy turned around to look at him that day, he would look at him with such eyes.

"Who are you and why are you here in this deep mountain?"

Pei Duo understood that the little fox had dreamed of the past and thought he was still in the deep mountains.

Before Pei Duo could speak, the young man said to himself: "I know, you must have lost your way."

"I know a safe way down the mountain, but I'll take you there after you've washed yourself."

The wet long hair fell on the boy's shoulders. He didn't seem to mind that there was someone watching him and splashed water on himself.

Pei Duo then discovered that his hair was purple. Perhaps it was dark that day or his dark purple hair looked almost black under the light. But whether it was black or purple, it matched his skin tone very well.

Pei Duo inevitably looked in front of Lin Zhi, wanting to see if there would be a big difference between the fox demon before and after its transformation. After all, a fox has six soft grains.

Although there was fog on the water surface, it was not turbid. Pei Duo had good eyesight, so he could easily see Lin Zhi's chest and discovered that there had been changes.

Because I have become a human, am I the same as a human?

The soft grains attached are naturally larger than when it is a fox, otherwise it would be strange.

“Are you looking at me?”

Pei Duo heard the boy's clear voice and met his purple eyes.

The little fox's frankness seemed to have never changed. He asked so directly, but Pei Duo did not answer, and took silence as the answer.

"All the animals in this mountain think I'm pretty, especially my tail."

A fluffy fox tail fell below the water and was held in Lin Zhi's arms again.

As the fox's tail swayed, some water droplets splashed onto Lin Zhi's face. Her cheeks were slightly red from the heat. She tilted her head and looked at the young man on the shore with curved eyes, and asked naturally, "Do you want to touch it?"

In the misty mountains, the beautiful young man holding a purple fox tail in the pond looks like the enchanting monster in all the strange stories.

His face was handsome and harmless, full of allure and innocence.

It was as if the suggestive words he said were just vulgar interpretations by others.

Pei Duo's eyes were heavy, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "How can you let anyone touch your tail casually?"

Lin Zhi: "Of course it's not casual, no one else has touched it, but I think you are a good person, so I'll let you touch it."

He said it so naturally, as if it was supposed to be so.

Pei Duo raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think I'm a good person?"

Although he was dreaming about the past, the little fox still had memories of the present?

"Because you are good-looking."

Lin Zhi answered very honestly, seeming to think that what he said made sense.

"People who look good are not necessarily good people. You are so unguarded that you are easy to be deceived."

This answer was beyond Pei Duo's expectations. Even though he knew it was a dream, Pei Duo still frowned slightly.

He wondered if he had been too indulgent with the little fox. It seemed that he had to show him more about the dangers of the world so that he would not let others touch his tail so easily next time. He thought that just because he looked good, he was a good person. This really worried Pei Duo.

Pei Duo thought for a moment and warned: "Next time you see others, don't show them your tail."

Lin Zhi didn't know how long it would take to refine this magic pill. If this mist could pull others into dreams, then next time someone accidentally entered, the little fox would be seen naked. Thinking of that possibility, Pei Duo subconsciously felt unhappy, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Not everyone can see my tail," Lin Zhi puffed up her cheeks, stood up from the water, and said hastily as if she didn't want to be lectured, "Okay, I won't wash it anymore. I'll take you down the mountain."

The thick fog not far away dissipated, revealing a winding stream.

The fluffy fox tail swayed behind the boy as he walked, and he walked barefoot in the shallow stream.

The stones along the road are as white as jade, the pines are as green as emerald, and the young men are unique and beautiful.

Pei Duo watched quietly, but never persuaded Lin Zhihua to make clothes, for fear that the little fox would impatiently answer him again.

Never mind. It’s just a dream anyway, and he’s the only one who can see it. It won’t be too late to teach the little fox demon how to avoid taboos in the human world later.

Anyway, he had bathed the fox himself, so this was nothing.

He looked at the purple fox tail and gently stroked it with his fingers in his sleeves.

The little fox didn't know that he had touched his fox tail before, combed it carefully, and rubbed the tip of the tail more than once.

"You can go down the mountain just by walking straight ahead from there. Will you come back into the mountain?"

Lin Zhi pointed forward and looked up at the young man in front of him.

Pei Duo also saw the exit of the dream. By going out from there, the illusion in the dream would naturally be broken.

"perhaps."

Pei Duo wasn't sure whether the little fox still had this memory after the illusion, nor did he know whether he would be pulled into the illusion again.

"Then will you always be at the foot of the mountain? If I go down the mountain, can I go find you?"

"Can."

"Then we have an appointment. When I finish my training and come down the mountain, you will take me around the human world. I heard that the human world is very lively."

The fox's face was filled with longing, just like every monster that longed for the prosperity of the human world.

"It's a deal. You can't lie to me. If you lie to me, I'll eat your heart out."

Lin Zhi looked at Pei Duo and said emphatically.

Pei Duo looked at his bluffing and aggressive appearance, and said with a curved lip: "It's a deal."

Since he was facing the front, Pei Duo could also catch a glimpse of Lin Zhi's abdomen, which still had the light red pattern.

Pei Duo sighed in his heart. Next time he entered the illusion, he would remind Lin Zhi to be careful to cover up.

After leaving the exit, Pei Duo opened his eyes.

He was still sitting at the table, with a pile of memorials in front of him.

Not far away the little fox was still sleeping, breathing evenly.

Pei Duo continued to write his comments on the memorial, but as he was reading, the image of Lin Zhi holding her tail and looking at him in the pool inexplicably emerged in his mind. The hovering pen dripped ink, leaving a stain. Fortunately, it was not a very important memorial. Pei Duo pinched his brows and decided to wait until Lin Zhi woke up before having a proper talk with him.

The purple fox curled up on the bed, its closed eyes hiding the smile in its eyes.

Pei Duo was indeed no longer resistant to his human form, so he could proceed to the next step and further lower Pei Duo's bottom line.

Just now in the dream, Lin Zhi also knew that Pei Duo would not go into the water to touch his tail. If he did so, he would not be Pei Duo.

It would be easier to arouse Pei Duo's possessiveness than his sexual and love desire, so Lin Zhi planned to proceed step by step.

In this regard, Lin Zhi is different from him. Pei Duo still needs to think carefully before acting, while Lin Zhi has already done what he needs to do and is waiting to act according to his heart.

When facing patient prey, Lin Zhi has always been more patient.
