Chapter 1106 Breaking the Ice
Putting away the look of understanding just now, Wenren Qiqi turned into a cold and heartless expression.
He took out his mobile phone, operated the page twice, and then showed it to Wenren Baiyi.
On the screen of the mobile phone, it was a video made of the memory fragments that Wenren Qiqi had just shown.
But compared with the plainness of the memory, the video obviously added picture rendering and magnification of details.
The gentleness hidden between Wenren Baiyi's eyebrows was completely stripped away.
Wenren Baiyi never thought that one day his memory would become the protagonist of the video and be artificially magnified frame by frame.
The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and Wenren Baiyi looked at Wenren Qiqi with some speechlessness in his eyes.
Wenren Qiqi held her scorching gaze and said,
"I just want an answer. If you won't tell me, I can only post this video directly on the spiritual forum."
Thinking of Xuxu's idea, she deliberately added a rogue tone,
"I believe that the Xuanmen and the demon clan are eager to see the gentle side of Lord Fox King in private."
Wenren Baiyi: ...
Wenren Qiqi has never been a good kid since she was a child, and she often does things that are out of the ordinary, such as joining the Xuanmen as a half-demon from the Li clan, which is considered heresy for the entire demon clan.
Wenren Baiyi was not surprised that she would resort to trickery.
But she didn't expect her tricks to be so "rogue".
Spreading her parents' post-wedding video as gossip, how could she think of that?
No, maybe it wasn't her who came up with this trick, but the person who showed her this memory.
"Do you really think that you can release such a video without my permission?"
Wenren Baiyi asked her back, still with that cold and casual look on her face. Wenren Qiqi was about to speak, but was interrupted by her coldly,
"Even if you made a backup in advance and successfully released it, and let the people of Xuanmen and the demon clan see the video, it would not hurt me at all."
Wenren Qiqi only asked her, "Don't you want your face as the Fox King?"
Wenren Baiyi smiled, but there was an inexplicable emotion in her smile.
"Do you think that if you want face, you can sit on the throne of the Fox King?"
If she could be threatened by a small trick, then she would not be the Fox King.
Wenren Qiqi just looked at her. She knew, of course, that such a trick would not threaten her at all.
Not only did she know, Xuxu also knew it.
So, they had a third step.
Without any expectation, Wenren Qiqi suddenly rushed towards where Wenren Baiyi was.
Wenren Baiyi narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that she wanted to use force. Just as she was about to raise her hand, a head suddenly hit her arms.
The waist was hugged.
And that head, was buried straight in her arms, without any attack, but with an attachment that she had not had for many years.
She just held her like that, and called her in a voice full of grievance and dependence,
"Mother..."
Wenren Baiyi's body was slightly stiff.
After his death, she had forgotten how long it had been since Qi Qi had hugged her so intimately, and even called her mother in such a voice.
Her daughter had been a stranger to her for a long time.
This was partly because Qi Qi resented her, and partly because of her.
Time had passed so long
that Wenren Baiyi could no longer tell them apart. Wenren Qi Qi was buried in her arms, motionless.
If it were in the past, she would never have done such a thing to Wenren Baiyi.
Because in her understanding, for an unloved person, no matter how coquettish he is, he will not get the slightest sympathy.
So she gave up using this method to get attention many years ago.
However, she saw a different mother in Xuxu.
Xuxu said that she might love her.
So she wanted to take a gamble.
Bet that she would not be indifferent to her.
…
A strange yet familiar warm breath lingered at the tip of her nose. Wenren Qiqi went from being stiff at first, to being indifferent, and then to being calm again.
Just when she thought that her initiative to approach had failed, suddenly, a hand gently rested on her shoulder.
Following closely, the familiar breath of the nine-tailed fox surrounded her.
Wenren Baiyi had not known when the nine-tailed fox appeared behind her, and at this moment, the nine tails just stretched out from behind her, wrapping her child in it, just like Wenren Qiqi had hugged Xuxu before.
A silent sigh seemed to come from the top of her head. When Wenren Qiqi realized that she was wrapped in her mother's fox tail, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell uncontrollably again.
If it was just a test at the beginning, then now, she was completely immersed in such warmth.
Then, she let the huge grievances completely drown her.
She felt very wronged.
But she didn't know why she felt wronged.
Her arms unconsciously hugged her tightly, and at this moment, she seemed to be a child again.
"Mother... Wuwu... Mother..."
Wenren Baiyi's heartbeat was disordered for a moment because of her unbridled crying.
The indifferent and casual shell of these years finally cracked because of her mother.
After a long time, Wenren Baiyi took her to the back of his house.
He wiped the tears from her face with his tail, and then put an exquisite box in her arms.
Wenren Qiqi sniffed and opened the box.
But inside, she saw several ancient books.
The book smelled familiar with the scent of ink and... a faint, long-lost scent.
"This is a book written by your father."
The box contained only the bound copies of his manuscripts.
Wenren Qiqi asked about it after she was brought back to the clan, but Wenren Baiyi told her that those things were burned.
"Every time I looked through it over the years, I would use magic to restore it to its original appearance, but after repeating it over and over again, the aura belonging to that person has become very faint."
When Wenren Baiyi said this, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to be revealed in the memory scene.
Wenren Qiqi stared at the carefully preserved storybook in her arms, and then looked at Wenren Baiyi in front of her, not knowing what to say for a while. After
a long while, she only spoke bitterly,
"So, you are with him because you like him."
Her birth was also a combination of love.
Wenren Baiyi sat next to her, as if he had returned to his original appearance, casual and lazy, but with a little more depth.
"At first, I really just needed a human man so that I could successfully give birth to a half-demon child with my blood."
This was the decision of the tribe, and even she, as the fox king, could not refuse.
She appeared in that mountain to choose a suitable father for her offspring.
He Zhicong was not among her choices.
Even if she wanted to marry a human, she did not like such a weak man.
But that man relied on her life-saving grace to her and insisted on marrying her.
Between her and him, it is better to say that it is not that she chose him,
but that he pestered her and made her choose him.
