The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

It took Zhi Yi a moment to realize what Xie Qinzhou had just said.

Thanks to Yao? What was that about?

Zhi Yi's mind whirled, her beautiful face showing a hint of confusion.

If anyone had passed by at that moment, they would have witnessed a slightly eerie scene.

A human and a fox were conversing as if it were the most natural thing in the world. What's more, the fox on the ground had golden eyes that sparkled with human-like emotions.

Zhi Yi looked up at Xie Qinzhou and said, "Although I betrayed the Fox Clan back then, I never divulged any information about them to the Wolf Tribe. You can rest assured about that. Moreover, I must tell you that regarding Yao's engagement, it was something the clan elders decided on their own. I never agreed to it. Your engagement to Yao is completely invalid."

Zhi Yi had long been dissatisfied with this custom of the Fox Clan.

Why should a Nine-Tailed Red Fox be destined to marry someone from birth? On what grounds?

When Zhi Yao was born, Zhi Yi had breathed a sigh of relief because Zhi Yao didn't appear to be a Nine-Tailed Red Fox, but rather looked like an ordinary white fox.

But she never imagined that those people wouldn't even spare a white fox! It was bad enough that they forced her to marry into the Xie Family Clan, but to force her daughter to do the same?

She couldn't bear it. That's why she had never agreed to it back then. But those people... they went ahead and decided on their own, without any intention of seeking her opinion.

Zhi Yi had thought Xie Qinzhou would listen to what she said, but to her surprise, he scoffed at her words. "I don't care. The clan has long since arranged this engagement. Your denial now is useless."

A dangerous glint flashed in his golden eyes. "That bastard... I'll find a way to get rid of her."

He spoke softly, barely above a whisper, but it didn't escape Zhi Yi's ears. She looked up at Xie Qinzhou in disbelief. "What did you say? You want to harm Yao?"

Zhi Yi's expression changed completely at that moment. She hadn't intended to kill Xie Qinzhou before, but now...

Anyone who dared to harm her daughter, be it person or fox, had to die!

She suddenly raised her hand, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, swift and fierce, aimed straight at Xie Qinzhou's face.

In his current state, Xie Qinzhou had not a shred of spiritual energy left. If struck, he would surely die!

But what happened next caught Zhi Yi completely off guard. Not only did Xie Qinzhou show no fear, but he... he actually smiled?!

The next second, something happened that left Zhi Yi utterly shocked.

She found that... all the spiritual energy she had just released was instantly absorbed by Xie Qinzhou!

How could this be?! How was this possible?! Her spiritual energy was completely different from Xie Qinzhou's! Absorbing it like this should cause a rejection reaction. How could this be happening?!

"Satisfying! Hahaha! So satisfying!" Xie Qinzhou threw his head back, his golden eyes filled with a wicked gleam. "The power of a Nine-Tailed Red Fox truly lives up to its reputation, hahaha!"

"Give me... all of your spiritual energy!"

He advanced towards Zhi Yi step by step.

At first, Zhi Yi was flustered, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.

She raised her hand, launching attack after attack at Xie Qinzhou, but each time, just as her power was about to strike him, he absorbed it.

This was... truly terrifying to Zhi Yi.

"Why... why are you like this..." Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, a flash of white light appeared, and in the next moment, the fox before her transformed into a human.

Xie Qinzhou's tall figure appeared before Zhi Yi.

"Nine-Tailed Red Fox... truly rare." He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with greed. "Come back with me, back to our Fox Clan. Witness your daughter's wedding to me with your own eyes."

Zhi Yi's lips moved, about to say something, but suddenly, the man who had been several meters away from her appeared right in front of her in a flash.

A beam of light flashed, and Zhi Yi quickly lost consciousness.

...

Zhi Yao sat quietly in the hospital room, reading a book. A pure white cat lay beside her hand, its belly rising and falling steadily. Zhi Yao held the book with one hand while absentmindedly stroking the cat's fur with the other, enjoying its irresistibly soft texture.

Just as she was deeply engrossed in her reading, the door suddenly opened. Ling Jue rushed in from outside, speaking to someone behind him as he entered, "Quick, this is my daughter."

Zhi Yao's attention was immediately diverted. She looked up at the man before her.

Ling Jue was tall and imposing, exuding a sense of security. Zhi Yao had already come to trust Ling Jue from the bottom of her heart, and at this moment, she truly needed a father.

"Father," Zhi Yao called out.

This one word completely captured Ling Jue's heart. He smiled so widely that his eyes nearly disappeared, his handsome and elegant face suddenly taking on a comical expression.

When it came to appearances, it had to be said that Ling Jue was quite deceptive.

He was tall and handsome, and even though he looked to be in his forties, he still possessed an air of refined gentlemanliness. This was extremely misleading; even young girls might be captivated by Ling Jue.

Zhi Yao stared at her father's face, momentarily lost in thought.

It wasn't until the doctor behind Ling Jue spoke that she snapped out of it. "Oh, so this is Zhi Yao. She... doesn't look anything like you."

"You old fool," Ling Jue shot back without hesitation.

Only then did Zhi Yao notice the man standing behind Ling Jue, who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies.

The young girl was slightly surprised and, making an assumption, said, "Hello, grandfather. Are you the doctor my father called?"

The words "grandfather" immediately sent Ling Jue into fits of laughter.

"Hahaha! You old fool, serves you right!"

The doctor looked somewhat exasperated. "I've known your father since we were kids. I'm the same age as him. You can just call me uncle."

Uncle?!

However... however, it was truly difficult for her to call him "uncle" when looking at that face of his.

The doctor immediately noticed Zhi Yao's confusion and couldn't help but let out a light snort, saying: "I'm not as shameless as that old fool Ling Jue. When one's age advances, they should accept growing old. That old thing is already several thousand years old, yet he still has the nerve to transform into this appearance. I think he's just trying to use this facade to bewitch your mother!"
