Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 1547 - 956: Lotus Step by Step (Part 2)
The speed was so fast, you could only see a pair of fluffy snow-white rabbit ears bouncing up and down. The small black shadow swished right to Baili An’s cheek.
Shu Ci, who was lazily yawning with no defenses, only saw a rabbit leg with pink paw pads flying towards her, landing squarely on her fluffy fox head.
The next moment, the world spun, nosebleed spurted out, and the claw hooked on Baili An’s shoulder scraped loudly, leaving a big gash.
Shu Ci flew backward like a rolling gourd, luckily landing on a soft bed, otherwise her butt would have been split into eight pieces.
As the head of the six rivers of the Demon Clan, Shu Ci had never suffered such disgrace.
She angrily lifted her big head, her beast teeth bared in anger, her fur bristling, looking at the little thing in front of her, ignorant and occupying her nest.
At this glance, she clearly saw the true form and origins of the little thing twitching its big ears on Baili An’s shoulder.
It was truly a small shock for Shu Ci.
It was actually the True Demon Afu Tu?!
Though it was a juvenile True Demon, if it had been before, Shu Ci could easily crush all its bones with a flick of her fingers.
But now, her cultivation had been lost, and in front of this fierce demon that could swallow all, she was hard-pressed to protect herself.
Facing such a fierce thing head-on was clearly not a wise choice.
Being the political schemer from Mohe, Shu Ci knew how to hide weaknesses and capitalize on strengths. At times like this, finding someone else to speak up for her was best.
So Shu Ci imitated those spoiled main wives bullied by vicious concubines from drama scripts.
With a plump short fox paw, pinching flowers and clasping fingers, she started crying elegantly with sass, her manner irresistibly charming.
She just forgot that she wasn’t human, but rather a big-headed small-bodied bristling fox.
Such demonic demeanor seemed somewhat comical.
Her plump short paws couldn’t help but stroke around her waist and backside, her dull eyes throwing seductive glances inappropriately.
Trying hard to show Baili An her modest figure.
About to whimper twice in complaint about the demon’s unforgivable cruelty.
Baili An, hearing noise behind, turned to see the big-chested fox’s demonic demeanor, and those fierce big teeth directed at Afu Tu yet to be retracted.
Suddenly with a furrowed brow, a cloud gathered in his mind, he reprimanded with a low voice: "Are those big shining teeth to bite? Retract them for me!"
Shu Ci was dumbfounded, feeling that her deep affection these days was misplaced.
Obviously, the one kicked away and bleeding profusely was her.
The culprit was still proudly occupying her former spot, not only unharmed but oddly scolded her.
What did he mean by she was baring her big teeth?
That damned rabbit, even if it wasn’t baring teeth, its big white buckteeth were still glaringly visible outside, right?
The hateful thing was the rabbit’s front teeth came in pairs.
This rotten rabbit was missing a front tooth, making it look so ridiculously ugly, an absolute humiliation!
Angry and outraged, Shu Ci forgot about retracting her own big teeth.
No longer posing alluringly, she went on all fours, fur bristling, glaring fiercely and roaring viciously at Afu Tu.
With blood still staining her nose, the big-headed fox seemed quite ferocious and bloody.
Instead, the Afu Tu who had kicked the fox away earlier, daintily covered its windy three-parted mouth with a rabbit paw.
Clearly a rabbit, yet exuding a graceful female gentlemanly aura atypically.
It was truly pretentious.
It sat leisurely on Baili An’s shoulder, the drooping rabbit ear cautiously and gently raised one, softly touching Baili An’s earlobe, as if expressing missing him.
Know that during Baili An’s three-year coma, Afu Tu had no one to feed it.
As an ancient True Demon, the food intake needed to support its powerful system was immensely terrifying.
Originally by Baili An’s side, it was either full or starving, using sleep to replenish its weakness usually.
In recent years, with no oversight, it continuously slept in the Vermilion Bird pouch.
Toward the former companion sharing life and death, now awakened, Baili An naturally deeply missed and cherished.
Baili An reached out to stroke the rabbit’s smooth big ears, not scolding its domineering unruly actions, even allowing such closeness.
"Little rabbit, how did you wake up? Just right, here is Shifang City, everything is top-notch.
Later, let’s go to the street, I’ll buy you some carrots you love, surely sweeter than elsewhere."
Such gentle and easygoing demeanor, Shu Ci had never seen before.
Unable to help feeling angrier, wanting to tear that piece of flesh with her teeth and swallow it whole.
Feeling extremely displeased at having her territory invaded!
Even growling a fierce low growl from her throat, her chubby fox face nearly deformed with rage.
Afu Tu lovingly rubbed its head against his palm, then seemed to notice something.
The little paw gently brushed Baili An’s clothes where the gash was, expressing deep remorse.
Then leaped off his shoulder, jumping before Shu Ci, inviting her with friendly eyes to join in Baili An’s embrace.
