Chapter 198
With her current abilities, Yan Mu was still unable to speak human language.
Zhi Yao stepped forward, intending to pick up Yan Mu, but unexpectedly, Yan Mu avoided Zhi Yao's embrace. In the next second, a flash of white light appeared, and Yan Mu suddenly transformed into human form. She tightly hugged Xie Qinzhou, who had fallen to the ground, and said to Zhi Yao, "Sister Yao, can you please spare him? He didn't mean to..."
Zhi Yao looked at Yan Mu, then at Xie Qinzhou, as if suddenly understanding something.
But Zhi Yao didn't speak.
Seeing Zhi Yao's silence, Yan Mu's heart sank to the bottom. She hurriedly said, "Sister Yao, if you really can't let him go, then kill me instead. Consider it... me giving my life back to him."
Zhi Yao took a deep breath. She wasn't quite clear about what had happened between Yan Mu and Xie Qinzhou, but she could see that Yan Mu liked Xie Qinzhou...
"Get away, I don't need your pity," Xie Qinzhou struggled to sit up, pushing away Yan Mu who was shielding him.
He staggered to his feet, looked at Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao, and sneered, "If you want to kill me, go ahead, but you should know that if I die, the Fox Clan will never let you off. Think it through carefully!"
"Xie Qinzhou..." Yan Mu looked at him almost pleadingly, "Xie Qinzhou, don't be like this. If you die... what about your parents?"
But no matter what Yan Mu said, Xie Qinzhou remained unmoved.
Seeing that Xie Qinzhou couldn't be persuaded, Yan Mu turned to Zhi Yao, "Sister Yao, please, I beg you. For the sake of him being of the same clan as you, give him one last chance!"
Zhi Yao didn't want to easily forgive Xie Qinzhou. She just raised her eyes to look at Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao lowered his gaze in thought, pondering something.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "Xie Qinzhou, I can spare you one last time. However, I'll have to collect some interest from you."
As he finished speaking, Pei Chiyao suddenly raised his hand. Xie Qinzhou reflexively closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come. But the expected agony didn't arrive, until...
"You!" He looked at Pei Chiyao in shock, saying incredulously, "You can actually absorb my spiritual power?!"
Xie Qinzhou's body visibly began to deteriorate at an alarming rate. His face turned pale, his lips blackened, and his already weakened body began to sway even more.
Until...
He could no longer support himself and turned into a fox.
At this moment, in Pei Chiyao's palm was a large ball of light, containing all of Xie Qinzhou's spiritual power accumulated over many years.
"Your spiritual power in exchange for your life, Xie Qinzhou. You should be grateful."
He lowered his gaze to the young girl standing beside him, his lips curving slightly, "Yao Yao, let's go home."
Zhi Yao finally snapped out of her daze from the previous scene, "Pei Chiyao, what are you going to do with his spiritual power?"
Wasn't Pei Chiyao's own spiritual power already profound enough?
The man took Zhi Yao's small hand, smiling helplessly, "It's all for you, of course."
As the two walked further away, Yan Mu confirmed they wouldn't return. She then bent down and hugged the unconscious fox on the ground. She messily wiped her tears and snot on Xie Qinzhou's body. Once her vision cleared, she immediately left the place.
"Xie Qinzhou, I will definitely protect you."
...
Zhi Yao was led by Pei Chiyao to the car. The young girl looked around curiously. Once in the car, she couldn't hold back anymore and grabbed Pei Chiyao's other hand, saying, "Strange, where did the spiritual power go?"
Pei Chiyao watched the little girl fidgeting with his body and couldn't resist flicking her forehead, "Little fool."
Zhi Yao covered her forehead, looking at Pei Chiyao accusingly, "Why did you hit me? You still haven't told me why you took away Xie Qinzhou's spiritual power!"
Xie Qinzhou's spiritual power... smelled so good!
Zhi Yao felt a bit greedy...
She actually didn't have much spiritual power herself. If it weren't for the small amount of Pei Chiyao's spiritual power that had entered her body earlier, she would probably still need to rely on the power of the jade pendant to transform into human form.
Although her seal had been removed, it only cleared her mind. Her body, including her spiritual power, wouldn't have changed at all.
Seeing Zhi Yao's expression, Pei Chiyao pinched her nose in exasperation, "How dare you crave another man in front of me? Do you not want to sleep tonight?"
Zhi Yao: "???"
She wasn't craving the man, she was craving the spiritual power!
Xie Qinzhou's spiritual power was truly rich and pure. It was the result of over a thousand years of cultivation.
The little girl couldn't help but sniff again.
Seeing Zhi Yao's undignified behavior, Pei Chiyao was practically grinding his teeth in frustration.
Although he had originally planned to transfer this spiritual power to Zhi Yao, to ensure she would have enough strength to protect herself in the future, seeing her so greedy for someone else's spiritual power made Pei Chiyao feel a bit jealous.
The more Zhi Yao sniffed, the more she craved it. She quietly tugged on Pei Chiyao's sleeve, gently shaking it as she said, "Can I... have a little bit?"
"Just a tiny bit!"
Her golden eyes sparkled brightly, her soft cheeks puffing up slightly, looking a bit like a little pufferfish. Probably... no one could resist Zhi Yao like this, right?
Pei Chiyao's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed hard, resisting for a long time before finally suppressing the urge to kiss her.
Seeing Pei Chiyao ignoring her, Zhi Yao thought her coquettish approach wasn't effective enough. After some thought, she simply let out her tail as well.
The fluffy big tail swayed behind Zhi Yao, causing her body and the arm she was hugging Pei Chiyao with to sway along with it.
"Please?"
She even extended her tail onto Pei Chiyao's thigh, rubbing against it continuously.
This was simply... blatant seduction!
What a... little vixen.
Pei Chiyao decided not to hold back anymore. He raised his hand, loosening his tie and undoing the top two buttons of his shirt. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, "You want it that badly, hm?"
Zhi Yao nodded, "Mm-hmm! I want it super badly!"
A light chuckle escaped the man's throat. "Then... I'll satisfy you."
Zhi Yao's eyes widened with delight. "Really?"
But as soon as the words left her lips, the young girl sensed something amiss. "What... what are you doing taking off your clothes?!"
She suddenly realized what was happening, her small face flushing scarlet. "No... that's not what I meant! I want spiritual energy, not this..."
