Time ticked by, and Yi Yi, clutching a bottle of red wine, kept gazing out the window, wishing for time to pass faster, much faster...
Finally, dusk fell, and darkness enveloped the surroundings. The guards at the villa gradually relaxed their vigilance, making it the perfect time to act.
Yi Yi simply and roughly knocked a hole in the wine bottle and gulped down several large mouthfuls.
Next, she should feel dizzy, hot all over, and then grow a fiery red tail.
Hmm, but... something's not quite right...
Why doesn't she feel anything? Maybe she hasn't drunk enough.
Thinking of this, Yi Yi gulped down several more mouthfuls from the bottle.
Strange, I still don't feel anything. How come her alcohol tolerance has become so high after not drinking for a while? She used to get drunk as soon as she tasted this stuff.
Without hesitation, Yi Yi drank the last drop in the bottle.
"belch……"
Yi Yi's stomach was bulging from drinking, but her mind was still perfectly clear. Her tail hadn't grown out, and her nose and ears still looked human.
"That's strange, where did Xiao Fang get this fake liquor? It doesn't taste like alcohol at all, it's like drinking water!"
water……
"Oh dear!" Yi Yi slapped her forehead. What a perfect description of reaping what you sow! She was the perfect example!
She then remembered that she had almost been discovered because she had revealed her true form after drinking alcohol, and she was worried that something like that would happen again. So she simply took the opportunity to pour out all the wine in the villa's collection and replace it with water.
So much time has passed, she'd completely forgotten. She should have told Xiao Fang not to take any more alcohol from the villa.
No wonder she drank a whole bottle and didn't feel drunk at all! Of course she did; it would be a miracle if she got drunk from just a bottle of water.
What to do? She couldn't just wait until tomorrow to ask Xiao Fang to find her a real bottle of wine. That would just waste another day.
Fortunately, there is another way.
Besides the stimulation of alcohol, intense pain can also trigger an energy burst within the spirit fox, causing it to reveal its true form.
Yi Yi is very sensitive to pain and is afraid of pain, but only the most intense pain that she can't bear can awaken the energy in her body.
With a heavy heart, Yi Yi took out the scissors again, pointed the sharp tip at the pad of her index finger, and stabbed it down.
"hiss--"
Humans often say that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it seems to be true. This scissor stab didn't actually go very deep, but it was already so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Even such pain couldn't force her true form out.
It looks like it wasn't inserted deep enough.
Before the excruciating pain could subside, Yi Yi closed her eyes and plunged the scissors down hard.
"Uh-huh--"
Yi bit her arm hard to barely suppress a scream. She was almost fainting from the pain, her whole body convulsing uncontrollably, sweat pouring down her face, soaking her hair and clothes instantly, and tears welling up in her eyes.
It hurts, it hurts so much for her!
With trembling hands, she pulled the scissors from her index finger, followed by another wave of excruciating pain. She almost fainted from the pain; her small face was deathly pale, like a lifeless sheet of paper. Large beads of sweat continued to stream down her forehead.
But at the same time, she finally felt a little hot, as if a ball of fire was about to burst out of her body.
The relentless, excruciating pain spread from my fingers all the way to my heart.
