The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 53-54

Chapter 53

She abruptly bared her fangs and snarled fiercely at the little ghost, growling with a "huluhuluhu" sound from her throat.

Yet the ghost merely glanced at Zhi Yao lightly before looking away.

Zhi Yao: "???"

Was she being provoked?!

Just as the little girl's hand was about to touch Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao swiftly dodged, avoiding her outstretched hand.

He snapped his fingers, and an attendant immediately came forward. "Young Master Pei, how may I serve you?"

"Why is there a child here?"

He frowned slightly, already visibly displeased.

He disliked children to begin with, but what made him even more perplexed was that at such an occasion, someone had actually brought a child of only a few years old.

The attendant apologized, then explained to Pei Chiyao, "This is a child from the Gu Family."

The Gu Family.

Upon hearing those two words, Pei Chiyao instantly understood. "Take her away."

"Yes."

The attendant bent down, trying to coax the girl to leave, but her empty eyes remained fixed on Zhi Yao, murmuring repeatedly, "Fox... I want the fox... fox..."

Zhi Yao watched this scene, truly feeling some sympathy.

She could see that this girl herself had no problems, her catatonic state merely caused by a malicious spirit possessing her.

But Zhi Yao's power was too weak, and she had no way to help.

As the little fox watched the girl being carried away by the attendant, she didn't cry or make a fuss at first, but after a moment, as if realizing what was happening, she burst into wailing sobs.

Instantly drawing the attention of many people.

Taking advantage of the commotion, Zhi Yao leaned close to Pei Chiyao's ear and said, "Pei Chiyao, I saw it - there's a ghost possessing her!"

Pei Chiyao rapped Zhi Yao's head lightly. "Don't meddle in other's affairs."

He didn't seem surprised at all, which in turn surprised Zhi Yao.

"You knew?"

Pei Chiyao nodded.

The Gu Family's troubles had caused a storm across the entire city - who didn't know about it?

Rumors were rife that the Gu Family had committed too many sins, so this retribution had fallen upon their young granddaughter.

Pei Chiyao merely scoffed at such claims.

The sins he had committed were no less than the Gu Family's, yet he hadn't suffered any retribution, had he?

He gazed absentmindedly at the fox in his embrace, gently stroking her fur.

After a moment, a member of the Gu Family apologetically approached Pei Chiyao and said, "Young Master Pei, please forgive the disturbance, but my family's child became entranced upon seeing the fox in your arms and started crying and fussing - she has never acted this way before. She must really like it. Could you please allow her to get a bit closer to this fox?"

"No."

Pei Chiyao was renowned for his cold indifference. He raised his eyes coldly at the speaker. "My fox has a fierce temper and won't even listen to me when she gets stubborn. I'm afraid she might harm someone."
