Chapter 171

"What are you doing!"

Ji Qingpei had just sheathed his sword, but he quickly drew it out again, glaring fiercely at Pei Chiyao. It was as if he would chop off Pei Chiyao's head with his blade if Pei Chiyao tightened his grip on the white fox even a little more. His face was filled with an almost overwhelming sense of protectiveness.

Zhi Yao also hurriedly said, "Pei Chiyao, don't be so fierce."Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Seeing this, Pei Chiyao finally loosened his grip, and the fox immediately fell onto Zhi Yao's soft chest, with a sensation as light and fluffy as cotton. The white fox squinted its eyes, instinctively nuzzling its cheek against that softness, and remarked with relish, "So comfortable, Master... Fragrant and soft... I love it."

In an instant, Pei Chiyao's face darkened even further.

Fearing that Pei Chiyao would get angry, Zhi Yao quickly scooped up the little fox before Pei Chiyao could act. She raised a finger and gently tapped the little fox's head, asking, "May I?"

The white fox knew what Zhi Yao intended to do and nodded, saying, "Yes, please read my memories, Master."

Zhi Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and spiritual energy instantly gathered at the tip of her finger. However, three seconds later, Zhi Yao opened her eyes, revealing a bewildered look in her golden irises.

How could this be...

"There's nothing?" She looked down at the white fox in her arms. "Why is there nothing?"

"How is that possible?" The white fox also seemed surprised. "It can't be, Master! Let me return to your consciousness!"

As the white fox was about to act, Ji Qingpei grabbed it and said, "No! Even if you go back, she won't be able to retrieve your memories."

"Why?" The white fox looked at Ji Qingpei in confusion.

"The spiritual energy in this illusion is becoming increasingly rarefied. It can't sustain you or me anymore. I think... it's because you and I are gradually dissipating, so the memory fragments of what happened in the past can no longer be preserved."

To put it simply, the white fox before them was more like a recorder left behind by Zhi Yao before she fell into a coma, or a collection of memory fragments.

To prevent her from waking up without knowing or understanding anything, Zhi Yao had intentionally left this behind.

Realizing this, Zhi Yao quickly withdrew her hand and asked the white fox, "Since I can't retrieve your memories, just tell me directly - who placed the seal on me?"

The white fox was about to blurt out the answer, but the words caught in her throat. "It was... who was it again...?"

Ji Qingpei explained, "Everything here is formed by spiritual energy. Similarly, by using spiritual energy, I can take you to any place in this illusion."

"Thank you."

Zhi Yao nodded at Ji Qingpei, then quickly pulled Pei Chiyao into the Ji Family Mansion. As soon as they entered, the two noticed something unusual.

Especially in the study room - books were scattered all over the floor, and there was no telling what Anthony had been doing in there.

"Anthony, are you here?"

There was no response from inside.

With no choice, Zhi Yao had to go further in. The deeper they went, the more they realized that the once well-organized study room had practically turned into a dump.

Books were damaged everywhere.

Soon, they saw Anthony.

He was rummaging through everything, his demeanor betraying a hint of madness. "Where is it? Where is it? Where is that Demon-catching Secret Manual?"

"Spiritual energy! I need spiritual energy!"

Zhi Yao was stunned, staring at Anthony's frenzied state, unable to speak for a long time.

However, Pei Chiyao curved his lips into a slight smile. "So, this is his aim."

Anthony must have had some scheme in mind when he came back here. Although it was Pei Chiyao who had bound him to this place, this man had been guiding Pei Chiyao to remove Zhi Yao's seal from the very beginning.

Wasn't there a saying?

High-level hunters often appear in the form of their prey.

Anthony himself could not touch anything in the illusory realm, but because of Ji Qingpei and Zhi Yao, he could now touch things.

Perhaps Anthony knew this from the beginning. He knew that Zhi Yao had some connection with Xuanling Town, so he wanted to lure Zhi Yao back to Xuanling Town. Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded in doing so by chance.
