Chapter 71 The Eunuch's Fox Pet
Even under the effect of the tranquilizing spell, Pei Duo's head was still throbbing, which made his already confused thoughts even more complicated.
"The charm is useless," Pei Duo repeated word by word in his mind, looking at Lin Zhi with dark eyes.
He believed that Lin Zhi had not lied to him. Although Lin Zhi was a little reckless and not as cunning as the fox demon in the rumors, she was also smart and knew how to judge the situation. She definitely would not dare to use her foxy skills on him.
Besides, Lin Zhi was right. According to his skills, the fox needed to look into his eyes when casting the spell, so it was impossible for him to be unaware.
Pei Duo suppressed his irregular heartbeat, calmed his breathing, and suppressed the heat in his abdomen.
The strange and unfamiliar desire made Pei Duo feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at the seductive fox demon in front of him with red lips and snow-white skin, and asked him to turn back into a fox.
The development of the situation was somewhat beyond Pei Duo's expectations. He did not intend to use Lin Zhi to resolve the situation. He would not do so even if Lin Zhi was a human, let alone that Lin Zhi was a demon.
He is raising a pet, not a lover.
Lin Zhi still responded with an aggrieved attitude as if he had been wronged, and reached out to take out the jade.
He changed back into a fox, and the moist and shiny little fish fell beside him.
The purple-haired fox was not clean now, and the hair around the bell was wet and looked a bit messy.
The floating sweet fragrance was accompanied by a faint feeling of hot flashes, which made Pei Duo raise his hand and pinch his forehead.
He now felt that what he had just done was ridiculous, and as he looked at the furry little fox, the strange restlessness he had felt disappeared.
Lin Zhi had already sensed something strange from Pei Duo's questions. He knew what was going on without looking down at Pei Duo.
What's more, the mist representing Pei Duo's emotions was bright red. Even though Pei Duo looked unhappy, he was definitely not really unhappy.
He could guess Pei Duo's current mood. Putting aside the relationship between the owner and the demon pet, whether it was the demon suppressor reacting to the demon, or him, Lord Pei Duo, reacting to other people, it was something that Pei Duo found difficult to accept.
Lin Zhi understood very well. After all, when someone who had never felt desire suddenly felt it, there would always need a buffer period.
So Lin Zhi used magic to tidy himself up, and also cleaned up the bed he had soiled. He lay on his side with his tail covering his belly, looking very well behaved.
Pei Duo looked at him and felt that the little fox paid too much attention to his expression. He was afraid that the little fox would mistakenly think that he was in a bad mood, so he covered himself well to avoid making him angry.
Pei Duo wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
He had to think of a proper way to resolve this matter.
Pei Duo looked at the things he had just taken out on the bed and suddenly felt it was extremely annoying.
Thinking about the little fox's soft and helpless look just now, he became upset again.
It's just a dead thing, and he was the one who did the work, so why should the little fox hold it like a treasure?
He picked it up, closed his hands and exerted a little force, and the jade he was holding instantly turned into powder and scattered from his palm.
Lin Zhi's fox eyes widened and she raised her head slightly because of Pei Duo's actions.
He felt a little regretful, as this little fish was carved very skillfully, with layers of slightly bulging scales, and it was made of extremely high-quality warm jade. Although it was not as smart as those of later generations, its value far exceeded those things.
Pei Duo saw the reluctance and regret in the little fox's eyes and felt a little amused. What was the point of clinging to such a thing?
"Didn't the Lord tell me?"
The little fox said in a muffled voice, with a hint of pitiful tenderness in his voice.
"When did I say yes?"
Seeing the little fox's frustrated look, Pei Duo was slightly annoyed that he was ignorant. He tapped the fox's head and said, "I'll give you something better later."
Something better, he didn't say it was such a cheap thing.
"Thank you, sir. You are so kind to me."
Lin Zhi rubbed Pei Duo's hand with his head. Because he was not sure whether Pei Duo's head was still hurting, he added a calming spell.
"You are my fox, so I will treat you well. But you should be wary of others. Human hearts are more unpredictable than demons."
Pei Duo never forgets to remind Lin Zhi of this. Although monsters are brutal, humans are more scheming and vicious. In many cases, monsters are more innocent, especially those blinded by so-called love, who are even more foolish.
The flower demon who set fire to his lover's family was eventually killed by the third prince.
Among the many cases in the Demon Suppression Division and the things he had experienced, some were about harming others for love, or harming others because of being betrayed by others.
The little fox can just be a demon beside him without having to think too much and not pursue love recklessly.
The little fox's eyes were bright: "I know, I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you, sir."
Pei Duo combed his hair with heavy eyes.
A leaf engraved with runes appeared between Pei Duo's fingers and turned into dust.
The little fox's breathing became more even and he fell asleep.
Pei Duo pushed his tail aside and looked at his condition. The originally bulging bell was a little dented, but the situation was still not relieved.
Pei Duo's headache had subsided, but his thoughts were still confused.
The boy's long hair seemed to be swaying in his palm, with a sweet and fragrant smell.
The fox eyes, innocent yet full of temptation, looked at him, her soft arms were around his neck, and their lips touched and separated.
Pei Duo was a little confused, so he left the fox in Yuxuan Palace and walked into the secret passage alone.
He first went to the Demon Suppression Bureau, and under the respectful looks of the guards, he stepped into the Demon Suppression Bureau's sky prison.
Those imprisoned here are not ordinary monsters. Some of them have committed serious crimes and need to be imprisoned to slowly drain their monster power. Some of them cannot be killed immediately and can only be restrained so that they will not cause trouble.
When Pei Duo walked in, the evil spirit and resentment inside became a little agitated.
When they found out that the person coming was Pei Duo, the monsters calmed down with boredom.
If they were ordinary demon suppressors, they could still take over the body or kill to vent their anger. They did this when Pei Duo was led into this door for the first time, and then paid a heavy price.
Pei Duo saw two monsters, one was a beautiful painted skin and the other was a charming snake monster.
They both have stunning looks, and both of them are better at seducing than Lin Zhi.
Pei Duo stood in front of the snake demon's cage and released her spiritual restraints through the bars, allowing her to cast her charm.
This shocked all the demons and ghosts in the prison, and they silently cheered for the snake demon.
Although I don't know why, I quickly charmed this guy, killed him and let them go!
The snake demon was shocked, making her appearance more charming and seductive. She looked into Pei Duo's eyes with a faint red light flashing in her eyes.
Pei Duo's vision gradually lost focus, and then became the same as usual.
The snake demon suppressed her excitement, she had only been imprisoned for twenty years and her demonic power had dissipated a little. Now that she was not restrained, she was very confident in her charm. If the Demon Suppression Bureau had not sent out four mysterious envoys and a dozen demon-suppressing masters to capture her, she would not have been imprisoned at all.
The snake demon said delicately: "Dig out your heart and give it to me."
The ghost next to him was afraid that something bad would happen so he held back the urge to speak. What's the matter with you? Open the door first!
Pei Duo raised his hand slightly, but he did not dig out the heart. Several green leaves flew into the cage from the gap, making the snake demon scream a few times. The body was surrounded by black air and was forced to transform into its original form.
She was shocked and couldn't believe that the soul-control technique she was so proud of had no effect.
The spiritual energy bound her again, leaving her in a weakened state once again.
Pei Duo stood in front of Painted Skin and said, "Come here."
The Painted Skin Ghost moved forward stubbornly, creating an illusion.
Different from the soul-stealing charm that the snake demon is good at, the illusion of Painted Skin is more inclined to create the existence of the thoughts of the people under the spell, and will be transformed into their appearance in the illusion.
In just a few moments, the sharp edge of the leaf cut through the skin that the Painted Skin Ghost had carefully maintained. The Painted Skin Ghost's skeleton was exposed, and it hugged the human skin in pain.
This was the skin he had soaked with the blood of more than a dozen virgins. It was also his last painted skin, and yet it was disfigured like this.
Painted Skin looked outside the prison with resentment. The surging spiritual energy made his eyes bleed. He was so scared that he dared not look anymore and shrank back into the corner when he was restrained.
Pei Duo suppressed the anger in his heart, and the Painted Skin transformed into the appearance of Lin Zhi. The face was still the same, but it made him very disgusted. When the Painted Skin showed a seductive smile, he could not tolerate it and attacked.
It wasn't this feeling, and it wasn't the skin of the little fox that made him excited. Pei Duo could even count the differences between the painted skin ghost and the little fox.
After these demons were freed, their powers were all greater than that of the little fox that was missing half a heart, but he was far from being disturbed.
Pei Duo's eyes swept around the prison, and the demons he saw silently took a half step back. He didn't know why this demon-suppressing master went crazy in the middle of the night and came to the prison to torture them.
Pei Duo left the prison and did not return to Yuxuan Palace, but returned to the courtyard.
A new endgame was placed on the chessboard in the yard. Pei Duo sat on a stone bench and picked up the white piece.
The maid lit the lamp and stood silently by the side.
Until dawn, Pei Duo still didn't understand why he was aroused by the little fox.
It was drizzling again in the capital. In this weather, Pei Sheng took the letter of appointment and left the capital.
Pei Duo did not see him off, but instead mentioned a candidate who had been prepared long ago and asked him to take over Pei Sheng's job.
When Lin Zhi opened his eyes, he heard the whispers of Pei Duo who was holding him.
"I will be conferring my title in the next few days. Please keep an eye on it for me when you go to Yunzhi."
Lin Zhi nodded, not surprised.
It would be better for him if Pei Duo sent him away for a few days. If Pei Duo was not upset and still treated him as a fox caressing him as usual, it meant that he had no influence on Pei Duo.
Lin Zhi felt a burst of spiritual power injected into his body. It was Pei Duo who was helping him to speed up the digestion of the Peach Blossom Demon's pill.
Lin Zhi closed his eyes and rested, entering a state of concentration.
When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was no longer the Yuxuan Palace, but an elegant and relatively small boudoir.
He was very familiar with this place, as he had been here several times.
"Zhizhi, you're awake. Jin'er, go get it some food."
Pei Yunzhi sat on a stool, twirling an embroidered handkerchief and giving instructions to the maid in an anxious voice.
Jin'er ran quickly to the door and got the warm meat soup from the nanny in charge.
No one else, not even the young ladies in Chuxiu Palace, had such treatment. Jin'er was a maid assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She used to be afraid of the head nanny, but ever since she followed Miss Pei, the nanny started to speak to her gently. Today was even more incredible. When she heard that the meat soup was cooked for Zihu, she offered to put it at her place and keep it warm on the small stove.
Jin'er is smart and of course knows why.
The previous dynasty and the harem are related. The more capable Lord Pei is, the more you should not offend those who are related to him. Although he is a eunuch and the fox is just a fox, those people in the palace who are used to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak have long regarded the fox as Pei Duo's son. Fortunately, the little fox is not a human, otherwise he would be annoyed to death.
Jin'er soon came back with a food box. Lin Zhi licked the meat soup in the jade bowl while listening to her little niece pouring out her heart.
"Ms. Lin fell in the garden a few days ago, and her cheek was scratched and left with a small scar. She was sent out of the palace with tears in her eyes. I observed for a few days and found out who did it. I told someone else who was at odds with the young lady through other people. Yesterday, that person was also sent out of the palace with a sign. These are people who cannot be used by me and even have opposing positions with Uncle Wu. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"It's just that Zhizhi, doing these things is really not a happy thing."
Pei Yunzhi sighed and continued with some sadness: "Even though I have my fifth uncle as my backer, I am still not happy. What kind of situation was my fifth uncle in at that time?"
"I will do as well as Uncle Wu."
The sadness in Pei Yunzhi's eyes gradually faded away, leaving only determination.
Lin Zhi was full and licked his paws to show his approval.
