Chapter 173 Stepping on the Fox's Tail 28 Tail
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lower lip.
She hugged him tightly, her lips trembling slightly as she spoke to him.
Taking advantage of Lin Yuche's unpreparedness, the knee struck his lower back, hitting his vital point. Lin Yuche's body stiffened, and he fell down without warning.
She caught him with difficulty and looked up at the Fox King in mid-air.
“We humans are not as afraid of death as you imagine, and you monsters are not invincible either.”
"Look, I defeated Lin Yuche."
Without Lin Yuche restraining the Fox King's actions, the Fox King could easily take Yun Chiyi away, but when he looked at the hairpin piercing Yun Chiyi's skin, he fell silent for a moment.
She has a severed tail from Lin Yuche on her body; demonic power cannot harm her or touch her.
Yun Chiyi endured the pain as blood slid down her neck to her shoulder: "If it means you're ruined, then I've actually died a glorious death."
"Is it true that as soon as I die, my severed tail will be reattached to Lin Yuche, and he will wake up immediately? Then he can tell all the demons about how you forced me to my death today."
She's right. She's just a mortal, yet she knows far too much.
The Fox King said, "You're right. However, if I absorb the white fox's millennia-old power, I can still extend my son's life."
The Fox King, his face grim, waved his hand and dispelled the barrier: "You may leave, but the White Fox must stay."
With one arm around Yun Chiyi's waist, Lin Yuche, who should have been asleep, suddenly sat up and moved with lightning speed, taking Yun Chiyi with him as they left the barrier.
Yun Chiyi dropped the hairpin, and her warm hand immediately covered her neck.
"It's okay, don't stop here, let's go."
With Lin Yuche's help, she floated in mid-air and saw the Yun family couple sleeping unconscious in the living room.
What if the Fox King captures them again to threaten her?
I'm just starting to have some worries, and I haven't figured out what to do yet.
Lin Yuche, who was holding her, was acting strangely. His body was burning hot. He groaned and fell from the sky. He landed with his back to the ground, protecting Yun Chiyi with his hands. He used his magic in time when he landed and was almost smashed into a pulp.
Lin Yuche was drenched in sweat, knelt on one knee, clutched his chest, and stared incredulously in the direction of the barrier. The Fox King, in human form, was a tall, thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man. He slowly walked over, as if he had expected Lin Yuche's reaction.
"Am I still a three-year-old child, not preparing for tonight? White Fox, your body already has restrictions in place; don't you feel a dull ache in your chest these past few days?"
Yun Chiyi was filled with rage. She stood in front of Lin Yuche and faced the Fox King directly: "Despicable."
Her wrist was grabbed by a large, scorching hand, and Lin Yuche, shrouded in black aura, slowly rose from the ground.
Yun Chiyi felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart. A dazzling white light spread from her side. Lin Yuche, without blinking, severed one of his tails and placed it into Yun Chiyi's body. His eyes were filled with determination, a farewell brimming with anticipation and relief.
In an instant, Yun Chiyi began to panic.
She patted herself helplessly, trying to summon her fox tail.
Yun Chiyi was furious: "Lin Yuche! You dare to abandon me and see what happens!"
Lin Yu-che said, "I will do my best."
The next second, Yun Chiyi understood the deeper meaning behind his words. He was the most willing to fight to the death. Even with his demonic power sealed by the restrictions, even with only seven tails left, he rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow, once again facing the Fox King head-on.
Unlike the previous minor skirmish, without the protection of the barrier, the two colors of demonic power blasted half the sky white.
Yun Chiyi looked up and saw dark clouds gathering and thunder crashing down, shattering the rocks in the backyard of the Yun family.
She was having trouble breathing, and hot tears slid down her wide-open eyes.
Her chest felt throbbing, as if something was about to burst.
The system was able to speak again at some point.
[Host, please note that significant emotional fluctuations have been detected. Please adjust your mood accordingly.]
A torrential downpour began, accompanied by lightning and thunder; it was truly a battle of gods, causing suffering for mortals.
The residents in the neighborhood felt that the rain tonight was very strange, so they opened their doors and stood in their yards, looking up at the two streams of gas, one black and one red, that were moving around in the sky.
When unusual celestial phenomena occur, evil spirits are sure to emerge.
In the rain, Yun Chiyi's vision went completely black. She struggled to keep herself from collapsing, but suddenly felt a burning heat inside her body. Overwhelmed by the rush of blood to her heart, she fainted.
-
The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped; it was a sunny day.
The warm sun shone into the bedroom.
Yun Chiyi frowned, took a deep breath, and suddenly woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw two concerned faces beside her bed. Yun Yizhou and Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that she had woken up.
"Honestly, what were you doing in the backyard with such heavy rain!"
Nan Xizhao's voice filled her ears, and Yun Chiyi was somewhat dazed. When she heard the word "rain," her memories gradually returned.
She rolled over, wrapped herself in the blanket, and said wearily, "I'm tired."
Nan Xizhao's prepared explanations were all cut off, and Yun Yizhou supported her.
"My daughter is fine once she wakes up, so let her rest well first."
Before leaving the room, Nan Xizhao said in a seemingly complaining tone, "Do you know that you were unconscious for two days and two nights?"
Yun Chi blinked blankly.
Two days have passed, so who won?
If it were Lin Yuche, he would be by her side right now.
She released the system.
System: [I don't know. We can't find any trace of Lin Yuche. He's probably dead.]
Yun Chiyi said, "He's not dead."
If he were dead, how could she still be here?
The system said: "[Since your mission is complete, I am now requesting evacuation. It seems we're having some trouble contacting headquarters, so it will be a couple of days later.]"
Yun Chiyi lost interest, pulled the blanket over her head, and slept for another day and night.
By the third day, the system still couldn't contact headquarters.
For Yun Chiyi now, everything is a matter of accepting what comes. She is waiting, but whether she is waiting for the system to announce that she can leave, or waiting for Lin Yuche to cook for her in the kitchen when she returns home, she is not sure.
Another of the company's rising stars has gone missing, and Yun Chiyi is inevitably under investigation.
But the matter was too bizarre, and six months later, the police station was at a loss for what to do.
Yun Chiyi continued interviewing new people to help cover the company's financial difficulties.
Fortunately, there is Ai Bai, who is exactly the same as the one in the original novel. Within three years, she swept all the major awards and her net worth soared. Yun Chiyi also made a fortune.
Yun Chiyi had money to burn, so for the past three and a half years, she's been organizing free fan letter sessions for Lin Yuche.
Her fans are more convinced than she is that Lin Yu-che will come back one day.
Yun Chiyi wanted to maintain the faith that Lin Yuche had painstakingly built up. He didn't know where it was, but he definitely needed these things to restore his demonic power.
The system was quite worried about her being trapped in this world and kept trying to find ways to contact headquarters.
It's time for it to use all its tricks.
That day, the weather was terribly hot. Yun Chiyi drove back to the Yun family home. The temperature was too high, and the air was thick and stuffy. She was already irritable, and the system was still chattering away.
It seems there's no other way but to wait until you die of old age before we can evacuate.
Yun Chiyi replied, "Get lost, and stop cursing me."
When she got home, the living room was empty, and the familiar silence made her feel a little scared.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home."
She searched the kitchen and even went upstairs, but found nothing.
She stood by the window, opening it to let in some fresh air. As soon as she opened the window, the sounds of laughter from the backyard drifted in. Yun Chiyi bent down and looked outside, seeing Nan Xizhao and Yun Yizhou bustling around a large white dog.
No, that's not a dog, it's a white fox.
Yun Chiyi patted her forehead to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
The system exclaimed in surprise: "[My god, we've actually connected to the male supporting character! Where is he? I can't see him!]"
Yun Chiyi felt as if a thousand bees were buzzing in her ears. Her legs felt weak as she descended the steps, walked out of the house, and almost tripped and fell when she entered the backyard.
Nan Xizhao saw her and asked, "Isn't the company busy today? Why are you back so early?"
Yun Chiyi stared blankly at the snow-white fox, which was sitting on the ground gnawing on a large bone. She suppressed the trembling in her voice and asked, "Where did this come from?"
"We don't know where it came from. It slept in the backyard for two days before we found it. It looked so pitiful from hunger, so your mom weighed out two pounds of pork ribs to stew for it. We'll call someone to take it away after it's full."
Yun Yizhou liked the white fox very much. When his big hand came down, the white fox rubbed its head against his palm.
The white fox caught Yun Chiyi's scent, licked the fur around its mouth clean, and gently held her sleeve in its teeth.
Nan Xizhao said, "It seems like it can't see."
How did it get like this?
Yun Chiyi pursed her lips. It was a difficult situation, but it was good that she was back.
She offered, "I'm leaving tonight, so I'll take it with me."
The system belatedly announced: 【Male Supporting Character!】
The white fox was attached to Yun Chiyi and followed her wherever she went. Yun Yizhou also said that before she came back, the white fox had been sitting in the backyard and could not be lured out with food.
Yun Chiyi understood that the day they parted ways was right here, and Lin Yuche, being so stubborn, would only go back the way he came.
After dinner, Yun Chiyi got into the car with the white fox.
The white fox sat comfortably in the passenger seat, its unseen eyes shining brightly as it sniffed her with its tongue lolling out.
Yun Chiyi smiled helplessly and slapped it on the head: "Silly thing."
The system stopped fussing about leaving. Overwhelmed with compassion, it said that leaving such a cute white fox in the human world was too dangerous. What if someone skinned it and made a fur collar from it?
Yun Chiyi was in a good mood and didn't bother with these things.
"How can he regain his human form? What if it takes hundreds of years?"
System: [I'm not a monster, how would I know?]
Yun Chiyi's face darkened.
The system immediately panicked: [There are two of his tails inside your body. He's right next to you. It will happen very soon. In the past three years, I've thoroughly studied the history of demons. Host, you must trust me.]
Yun Chiyi has already made preparations, which will take at least three years and at most ten years.
That night, her bedroom was warmly lit by white light. Yun Chiyi was fast asleep when she was awakened by a wet, licking sensation.
Her first reaction was disgust, as if she had been licked by a dog.
She tried to get up to look at the white fox by the bed, but as she leaned back, a hand pressed her back down. Yun Chiyi was stunned, and his hot lips brushed against her lower lip.
She reached out and touched his silhouette, feeling the damp tears at the corner of his eye.
Lin Yuche is back. Once he's back, he won't keep her waiting too long.
Yun Chiyi's nose tingled, and she pushed him away. The room was lit by an orange-yellow lamp. She squinted at his face, which was exactly the same as she remembered. He was handsome, refined, and aloof, the kind of look she would like.
Lin Yuche knelt by the bed, his eyes wet with tears as he met her gaze.
"Feel sorry."
Yun Chiyi punched him twice in the chest: "Is an apology enough to solve this? If there's a next time, I won't forgive you."
Lin Yuche hugged her tightly: "I'm sorry."
Yun Chi's anger subsided considerably. She pinched his cheek and said, "Say sorry, hurry up and say you love me and will never leave me in this life, or you can get out of my house."
Lin Yuche said, "I love you, and I will never be separated from you again."
Yun Chiyi lowered her eyelashes, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know why she was crying; she just felt happy.
Lin Yuche kissed the corner of her eye from bottom to top.
Since he was so ingratiating, Yun Chiyi decided to let bygones be bygones for the time being.
That night, the two talked all night long.
From Lin Yuche, Yun Chiyi learned that he and the Fox King were both seriously injured that day. The Fox King, thinking of Qi Shu, fled back to the Demon Realm to give Qi Shu a final breath. However, he heard from other demons that the breath was not given that night, and the father and son fell into a coma and could not be woken up no matter what.
Lin Yuche's demon core was damaged, and he lost his demonic powers, wandering between heaven and earth for three and a half years.
He has been cultivating himself anew and reshaping his physical body by relying on the beliefs from all directions.
He instinctively returned to the Yun family's backyard immediately.
Yun Chiyi knew what happened next.
Lin Yuche's demonic power is only a hundred years old. It feels like he would be blown away by a gust of wind in the demon realm. His success in killing the king has given the fox clan's wolfish ambitions the opportunity to support a new king.
Neither Yun Chiyi nor he cared who could become king; their immediate priority was to restore his demonic power.
In three and a half years, the entertainment industry's resources have been completely reshuffled. How can we legitimately reinstate him?
The two were sitting on the sofa watching TV when Yun Chiyi shook Lin Yuche's shoulder with a headache: "All that work for nothing, we have to start all over again!"
Lin Yuche kissed the corner of her lips without saying a word.
Yun Chi laughed smugly: "Don't give me that."
Lin Yuche asked, "Don't you like it?"
He became increasingly dazed, completely disregarding her feelings. Yun Chiyi simply gave up and said, "Yes, I like it. Kiss me again."
Lin Yuche obediently kissed her again, and Yun Chiyi smiled and returned the kiss.
The system expertly activated its captcha-solving mode and said with a sigh, "The connection failed again. Let it be."
