The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot-Chapter 159: Exercise Properly

"Pei Chiyao, are you alright?" The young lady looked at Pei Chiyao with a hint of concern.

She felt that Pei Chiyao seemed to have become a different person since he woke up.

Saying some strange things...

Meeting Zhi Yao's worried gaze, Pei Chiyao sighed softly, "Silly girl."

Truly a foolish fox as ever.

The man raised his hand and gently pinched the bridge of his nose, carefully searching his memory for anything about the seal, but... he couldn't recall anything at all.

Until Anthony came limping behind, panting and looking at Pei Chiyao and Zhi Yao who were standing there, saying, "Pei Chiyao, have you gone crazy! Do you know how dangerous this place is, yet you're wandering around so carelessly?"

Pei Chiyao ignored Anthony.

Seeing this, Anthony grew increasingly angry, "If you're not going to listen to me, then why did you ask me to lead the way? Why did you insist that I come with you?"

He was almost laughing bitterly, "Do you know how mysterious the Ji Family is? Do you think you can find clues to break Zhi Yao's seal without my guidance? Ridiculous dreaming!"

No matter how Anthony ranted, Pei Chiyao showed no interest in him, instead reaching out to hold the young lady's hand and continuing to walk deeper into the mist.

Anthony had originally planned to return the way they came, to let Pei Chiyao taste what it's like without his guidance, but when he turned back, he couldn't see the path they came from at all.

He instantly felt a chill in his heart and didn't dare go back.

All he could do was hurriedly turn to look at Pei Chiyao, "Pei Chiyao... you... wait for me!"

He had accumulated so many good deeds in this life, how did he end up dealing with Pei Chiyao, this incarnation of trouble?

Anthony cursed under his breath, this Pei Chiyao was simply here to torment him. Nevertheless, he still had no choice but to follow.

Somehow, Anthony had initially expected Pei Chiyao to wander around like a headless fly, but he never imagined that in just two minutes, Pei Chiyao had walked out of that thin mist!

How could this be?!

What came into view was none other than Xuanling Town from several hundred years ago!

The surroundings were bustling with noise and people. Zhi Yao curiously observed the passersby, noting the clothes they wore were the kind she had seen a very, very long time ago. In the present era, almost no one wore such clothing anymore.

The young lady felt a chill deep down, reaching out to tightly grasp Pei Chiyao's hand, saying, "Pei Chiyao, how did this happen? Where are we...?"

She felt a sense of fear in her heart.

Pei Chiyao looked at the trembling young lady who wanted to burrow into his embrace, and readily allowed her to do so, smiling as he said, "Don't be afraid, they can't see us."

Because this was Xuanling Town from several hundred years ago, they hadn't accidentally entered this place. It seemed... that there might still be some lingering spiritual energy in Xuanling Town, which attracted any past acquaintances who approached this place.

But this was ultimately just a remnant, so they couldn't be seen by the people here.

In other words, they were merely observers, outsiders.

"Is that so?" Zhi Yao looked up, though only half-believing it, her heart still filled with fear.

She tugged at Pei Chiyao's sleeve, "Then does that mean... we can't talk to them?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Zhi Yao became even more distressed, "In that case, how are we going to inquire?"

After saying this, she suddenly turned to look at Anthony, "Anthony, did you know we would end up in this situation from the start? Why didn't you tell us earlier!"

If that were the case, then there was no need for them to have traveled so far to find a way to break the seal on her!

Anthony had originally been hiding in the back, prepared to watch the spectacle. After all, he had made quite a fool of himself the first time he came here.

He had even changed into clothes similar to the people here, wearing a long robe, looking a bit out of place. He had to sneak through the Ji Family's dog hole to return to his ancestor's home.

But he never expected that the people here wouldn't be able to see him!

This was truly infuriating!

It also meant that he wouldn't be able to take away anything from this place!

Later, not wanting to leave empty-handed, he secretly hid in the Ji Family and learned some spirit-catching techniques for a while before leaving.

He had originally planned to watch Pei Chiyao and Zhi Yao make fools of themselves, letting them be embarrassed too. However, he didn't expect that Pei Chiyao would see through the truth of this world at a single glance.

As if seeing through Anthony's thoughts, Pei Chiyao turned to look at him, "My apologies for disappointing you."

After saying this, he looked down at the young lady in his embrace, "There's no need to inquire, we'll go straight to one place."

He took a step, intending to leave, but then seemed to remember something. He suddenly bent down and scooped Zhi Yao up in his arms.

The young lady had already been panting from exhaustion, her two slender legs trembling, it seemed she had walked too far and couldn't walk anymore.

Pei Chiyao laughed softly, his husky voice rippling in Zhi Yao's ear, "We'll have to train your stamina when we get back."

This time, he would definitely be able to successfully remove the seal on Zhi Yao, and then... he promised, every night they would "train her stamina" thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Pei Chiyao's mood brightened considerably, the gloom in his heart completely dissipating.

When Pei Chiyao picked her up, Zhi Yao was still concerned about his physical condition, "Pei Chiyao, can you carry me? I... I can walk on my own."

But the man not only didn't answer her, he even smiled at her in such an ill-intentioned way.

The young lady instantly guessed that he must be thinking something improper.

She glared at Pei Chiyao angrily, then immediately fell silent.

Anthony limped along behind Pei Chiyao and Zhi Yao, not believing that without his guidance, they could find any clues.

The reason he knew Zhi Yao had a seal on her was because he could sense a trace of the Ji Family's unique aura on her. As for whose it was, he had no way of knowing. But when she transformed into a fox, there was a mark on her forehead that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

That was precisely the mark of the Ji Family's seal.

This was something he discovered by chance in the Ji Family's library when he returned to the Ji Family one day.

Therefore, he instantly became interested in Zhi Yao, wanting to lure this fox over to study the seal closely.

However, he didn't expect that the fox wouldn't take the bait, and instead brought Pei Chiyao!

A disastrous Waterloo in his demon-hunting career!

As he was pondering this, a familiar manor suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Anthony was stunned on the spot.

This... this... this is the Ji Family's manor?! Why... why would Pei Chiyao know the Ji Family's manor is here?!
