Chapter 1556: Chapter 960: Bringing Shame Upon Oneself

Baili An didn’t use petals for Shu Ci, but instead tossed a lot of ginger slices into the hot water to ward off the cold.

Shu Ci wasn’t particularly fond of the earthy scent of ginger, but still endured the discomfort, leaning on the edge of the tub, gazing eagerly at Baili An.

"My paws are frozen stiff, soaking in hot water hurts, little corpse demon, could you rub them for me?"

Baili An sat by the edge of the tub and extended a palm to Shu Ci, saying indifferently, "Reach out your paw."

Shu Ci’s eyes shifted.

The originally eight-tenths full tub overflowed with hot water, wetting the floor.

A soft, lily-white hand gently rested on Baili An’s palm.

The hand, without its pads, was still soft.

The moist, soft hand lightly brushed against Baili An’s hand.

Without knowing when, Shu Ci had returned to that enchanting, mature form.

Her brows were as if dyed with ink, lips like red vermilion, and her alluring face slowly emerged from the water.

Her neck gleamed with warm water droplets, delicate collarbones, radiating the unique wild elegance and seductive allure of a fox demon.

She slowly raised her body, with wet clothes clinging tightly to her soft, sensual figure, outlining her graceful lines.

She entwined herself like a water nymph, weaving a web that enveloped Baili An.

Her eyes, reddened by the hot water, were particularly sexy and enticing, as she softly called out:

"I eat meat too, little corpse demon. How about you let me have a bite~"

Shu Ci gently parted her rosy lips, wanting Baili An to offer his neck willingly.

The hand resting below suddenly tightened and pulled her into his embrace.

The next moment, a sweet, hard object was stuffed into Shu Ci’s mouth.

She opened her eyes suddenly, took out the object from her mouth, and glanced at it.

It was a little candy man shaped like a chubby fox?

He had noticed all along?

Shu Ci furrowed her brows discontentedly, crunching off the fox’s head, very displeased:

"So you intentionally quarreled with me? You knew all along what I wanted was this?

Stop being so stingy, just give it to me generously, why make a big fuss and scold me for no reason, truly exasperating."

"Is this the same thing?"

Baili An widened his eyes: "If you, like little Afu Tu, tell me nicely what you want, would I begrudge you some candy money?

I don’t know how you lived in the Demon Clan, but in the Human World, put away your domineering, unreasonable ways.

Even a three-year-old knows to offer coins for candy, and you’ve lived for hundreds of years, yet you’re competing with a child for candy, it’s embarrassing."

Shu Ci stubbornly turned her head to the side, yet Baili An pinched her cheeks and pulled her back.

"When you want something, you take it, if others don’t give it, you bite and kill.

This temperament is similar to those demons in the Demon World.

If you don’t change this behavior, even if you bring me the legendary Phoenix godbird to eat, I would no longer pay attention to you."

Born as a demon, Shu Ci couldn’t stand Baili An’s righteous speeches.

But she knew that if she remained stubborn and refused to yield now, she’d have to spend the night outside in the cold.

In the past, even if Baili An spoke of great principles, the fierce Mohe Lord would never yield or admit mistakes.

But now, there was still a clever, crafty rabbit watching closely.

Clearly, it’s a demon, not some benign being, pretending to be a good citizen.

She remembers this rabbit actually eats dragons.

Being careless, this little corpse demon might feed on her until nothing is left.

"I know, I know, from now on, whatever you say goes.

I’m a fox with little worldly experience, understanding few principles.

Whenever things don’t go well, I throw tantrums, but you picked me up.

In the future, please be more patient with me, teach me those principles, and I will definitely be a good fox."

Seeing her sincere words, seemingly repentant, Baili An felt comforted.

Not entirely beyond saving.

His expression softened slightly, and he personally scooped a ladle of hot soup, pouring it over Shu Ci’s head, saying:

Tonight after catching a cold, wash up and rest early? The bed is for you and the little rabbit.

Afu Tu noticed that she seemed to have learned from the loss, with a few words making him no longer blame her.

The rabbit frowned secretly, his expression changing slightly, also thoughtfully scooping a ladle of hot water, gently pouring it over the wound on Baili An’s palm.

Seemingly concerned, but actually subtly reminding Baili An of Shu Ci’s fierce, unreasonable misdeeds.

This cunning behavior almost made Shu Ci’s fur bristle again.

But recalling her past losses at this sly rabbit’s hands, Shu Ci restrained herself.

She pushed aside the rabbit’s extended ladle, her eyes hazy like rising mist, lips slightly parted, cradling Baili An’s injured palm, she lowered her head to gently lick the bite marks.

In a soft, sweet voice, she said: "I know I was wrong, had I known you actually care for me.

Worry that I’d catch a cold outside, I shouldn’t have bitten you so deeply.

If you’re mad at me, how about you bite me back?"
