Chapter 1555: Chapter 959: Pushing the Limits_2

Tonight, that little demon was clearly fuming with deep resentment; Baili An left her alone, intending for her to reflect on her actions.

But knowing her overbearing and unreasonable nature, it would take three, five, or even seven to eight days for her to calm down.

Unexpectedly, after such a big tantrum, her temperament changed rather quickly.

Baili An looked east and west, but he didn’t see the silhouette of that little creature.

He only saw a series of little paw prints on the inn’s floor.

It seemed she had a mind to soften, yet she was still angry with herself.

The pride of that little creature was strong, with an unreasonable arrogance.

Baili An did not want to spoil her temperament into becoming arrogant and aggressive.

Lowering his eyes, he put the Wife Black Chicken in his hand back in its original place.

Then he pushed open the inn’s door, crossed the threshold, and returned to his room.

Not long after, a little tearful, snow-white Tuanzi slowly emerged from the corner of the corridor on the second floor of the inn.

It was still holding in its mouth a red wild chicken larger than its body, struggling bit by bit to drag it out of the small corner.

It was wet all over, having been drenched while catching the Wife Black Chicken.

Tonight was deep, and it was still snowing. These Wife Black Chickens, residing in the sea waters, feared the cold, and she had to dog paddle deep underwater to catch them with great effort.

Mud was all over her paws and tail. Shu Ci, who feared the cold, was now a small shivering ball, appearing even more weak and pitiful.

Her originally pink nose was frozen red, with strings of frozen snot, making her look exceptionally pitiable.

Shu Ci clearly observed Baili An’s attitude just now.

Apparently, he had made up his mind not to want her anymore.

Even though she had gone back and forth until her teeth were sore from fetching him fresh blood food with spirited energy, all she earned in return was a heart of stone.

Thinking of Baili An casually discarding the wild chicken she brought him, and his resolute departing figure.

A wave of grief welled up in Shu Ci’s heart, making her almost want to drop the fat chicken in her mouth and turn her head to wander the world.

But eventually, Shu Ci was someone who finished what she started; tears welled up in her round eyes as she twisted her big head to drag the heavy, heavy fat chicken.

She came to Baili An’s door, set down the chicken, and used her little paws to tidy up the fat chickens that Baili An had just scattered.

Arranging them into a small offering pile of chickens.

After doing these, her two little front paws were already frozen stiff.

She stood on her two human-like legs, holding her two front paws in front of her mouth, and exhaled a couple of breaths of warm air.

Huffing and puffing, Shu Ci suddenly realized the bitterness and sorrow of her situation.

The long-held tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed and fell with a patter, hitting the floor.

At this moment, from inside the room, Burst Bailian’s playful laughter with that damned rabbit was still coming through.

"Little rabbit, little rabbit, your fur is so soft, hugging you while sleeping is really warm and comforting."

Crying her tears with disdain, Shu Ci thought scornfully that they were truly ignorant bumpkins.

What is so special about rabbit fur? Only incompetent hunters would use rabbit fur, which isn’t worth much, to pass off as fox fur and make fox cloaks, pretending to be superior.

Even just considering the fur alone, she didn’t know how many times she outclassed that dead rabbit.

It was only that uncouth little corpse demon that treated that worthless smelly rabbit as a treasure.

If she let him hug her true form to sleep for two nights, there wouldn’t be anything for this rabbit anymore, would there?

"Little rabbit, your paws are so cute and nice to look at, without nails, just soft pink padding, saving the trouble of trimming claws every day; raising you is indeed more convenient."

Though Baili An never mentioned Shu Ci directly, Shu Ci still felt herself being subtly criticized.

"Little rabbit, you have a nice tail, not like some little things.

Always so skittish, even the tail looks fickle; no wonder people say foxes are fickle animals."

This time it wasn’t just subtle insinuations, but it was clearly criticizing Shu Ci, with her two tails, directly!

This truly was an offense from start to finish.

Shu Ci was fuming with rage.

Her being fickle?!

If she weren’t so obsessed with this kind of food, how could she end up in such a pitiful situation?

It’s truly ignorant to think that a small moving tail of that smelly rabbit is cute and petite, or is it saying a raccoon’s tail is fickle?

But he has no idea, it’s rabbits, these innocent harmless little creatures, that are the most adept at deception.

Moreover, a rabbit’s tail isn’t short at all; if you pull that little thing with force, who knows how long it can stretch?

"Little rabbit, why do you always eat carrots? Although it’s not bad to eat more vegetarian stuff.

I remember Afu Tu needs to eat meat to maintain the ecosystem, right?

Why don’t you take a bite when I offer you some? You don’t eat it.

No worries, I’m a corpse demon, I have healing abilities, even if I’m missing a piece of meat, it’ll grow back after a sleep."

Shu Ci upon hearing that the meat she’d been longing for so long hasn’t had a single bite, now he is, with a few words, offering it to a cheap rabbit.

In her brain, frozen stiff, two sparks splashed in, and they exploded with a bang.

She can’t stand it anymore.

Shu Ci forcefully slammed open the door with her paws, her chest heaving with rage, her eyes seemed to spit fire, she roared: "Let’s see who dares touch my meat!"

But in the next moment, the scene before her made Shu Ci suddenly freeze, the anger in her eyes also froze.

The smelly rabbit, which was supposed to be lovingly held and fed meat by Baili An, was sitting by the bathtub.

With its two paws holding a large boiling kettle, pouring hot water into the empty tub.

Baili An was leaning against the wall, his actions leisurely, arms crossed.

One leg slightly bent against the wall, his pose carried a bit of teasing laziness about him.

Behind him was a small hole in the window paper through which he could see the view outside the door.

This meant that her tearful state just now had been completely seen by him.

Moreover, he hadn’t touched the smelly rabbit’s fur or appreciated its tail, it was all to wait for her to come herself.

At this moment, Shu Ci’s nose still hung with two crystal-clear frozen snot.

Having been the Mohe for so many years, Shu Ci had never lost her composure and been so embarrassed.

Suddenly she felt mortified, her paws tightly held onto the swinging door, one fox leg embarrassedly kicked the ground.

Her round eyes as always looked dull and vacant, but lacked their former coldness, she dryly said: "If I say I’m sleepwalking, would you believe it?"

Baili An didn’t say whether he believed her, just turned and walked outside.

He carried those wife chickens into the room one by one, then waved Shu Ci over.

Shu Ci’s eyes struggled; her heart knew that gesture, wasn’t it the beckoning to come or go at will?

As a proud Mohe, how could she be called like a little dog, so easy to compromise?

While Shu Ci hesitated over staying or leaving.

She realized she had already leapt up in three steps and jumped into Baili An’s embrace.

How strange, when did her body start acting out of her control?

Baili An used his finger to clean the frozen snot hanging from her nose, then touched her icy cold fox paws, the pads weren’t soft anymore.

He frowned and reprimanded: "Are you truly reckless? You already have a cold body constitution, still soaking in water to calm down, is this how you calm down?"

Afu Tu, who was pouring hot water, suddenly realized for whom this hot water was meant and shivered with its paws.

Its gaze turned indifferent, trying hard to resist the urge to spit into the bathtub.

Baili An held Shu Ci and threw her cold body into the bathtub to let her soak.

Shu Ci lay on the edge of the tub, looking at the brazier that had long been burning inside, making the room warm, dry, and comfortable.

Clearly, Baili An never intended to let her spend the night alone in the freezing snow outside.

As her body warmed up, Shu Ci paddled a little in the tub, her two tails spiraling like propellers on the water, moving her body continuously in the warm water.

She lifted her proud fox head, "That rabbit, add some more hot water for me, I remember there are flower petals prepared in the guest room, sprinkle some for me too."

"Don’t push your luck!" Baili An slapped down a folded hot towel on her head, took the kettle from Afu Tu’s paws, and added more hot water for her.
