Chapter 159

"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.

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?!
