Chapter 170
Why was this happening?
This was truly bewildering for Pei Chiyao.
Here, there were only him and Ji Qingpei, so why had Zhi Yao's seal loosened?
Why...
As Pei Chiyao fell deep in thought, in the next second, Ji Qingpei suddenly walked up to him.
Holding a knife in his hand, he held it to Pei Chiyao's neck. Just as he was about to strike, Pei Chiyao spoke, "If you kill me, you'll die too."
Ji Qingpei paused briefly.
"Can't you see? I am you."
The man held the little girl tightly in his embrace, and at this moment, Zhi Yao had closed her eyes.
He no longer had the patience to seek out the reason for Zhi Yao's seal, for it would be quicker to simply ask Ji Qingpei.
"Ji Qingpei, if you want Yao Yao to live, you must tell me where her seal came from!"
Pei Chiyao's tone suddenly became serious, even a bit strained.
In fact, by now, he had already vaguely guessed, but those memories were like they had been stolen away from him, and he couldn't recall anything?
But obsession was obsession, his obsession with Zhi Yao had become so pathological that it was beyond cure, "I won't tell you."
Ji Qingpei smiled cruelly, "You go die. Once you're dead, Yao Yao will be with me forever. So what if you're me? I don't care who you are! Anyone who tries to take Yao Yao from me, must, die!"
Even if he killed him and would die himself, what did it matter? He would never let anyone else have Zhi Yao!
Ji Qingpei gripped the knife tightly, and in the next second, he was about to slit Pei Chiyao's throat. At this critical juncture, a white fox suddenly came running from afar.
The white fox let out an extremely shrill cry, "Woo--"
Like a wail of grief.
Upon hearing this sound, Ji Qingpei's hand trembled, leaving a bloody gash on Pei Chiyao's neck. He looked back in disbelief, "Yao... Yao Yao?"
The white fox dashed up to Zhi Yao, its dark wet nose nuzzling against her face.
Then, it suddenly turned and looked at Ji Qingpei, "Woo woo woo!! ##¥#@woo!!"
No one could understand what the white fox was saying, but based on Pei Chiyao's lifelong understanding of the fox language, it seemed to be... cursing.
Master?
Zhi Yao looked utterly bewildered.
"Master, I know you've forgotten a lot of things now, but don't worry, I'll slowly explain it all to you."
"Why do you call me Master?"
This white fox looked exactly like the one from her childhood, but she couldn't have raised a fox, since she herself was a fox.
"Master, I'm a fragment of your consciousness that you left behind, just like that idiot is the consciousness Ji Qingpei left behind."
Consciousness?!
Zhi Yao had no recollection of ever leaving a part of her consciousness behind.
"Master, a lot happened after Ji Qingpei died, which you probably don't remember now. But it's okay, once I return to your body, you'll gradually regain those memories."
"Master, I've waited so long for you, if you didn't come back, I would've disappeared... Luckily, you've finally returned!"
The fox cub kept firing off words like a barrage of bullets, but Zhi Yao couldn't understand a single sentence.
What was all this about?!
The once fierce and cruel Ji Qingpei stood silently nearby, behaving like a docile little lamb in the presence of the white fox.
From the fox's fragmented words, Pei Chiyao finally managed to grasp some useful information.
Zhi Yao's lingering consciousness, and his own lingering obsession, had both remained in this world?
So what did that mean?
It seemed that after his death, many things had happened to Zhi Yao again...
Had someone bullied her in his absence?
At this thought, Pei Chiyao's gaze suddenly darkened.
He grabbed the fox that was squirming around on Zhi Yao's body, his jet-black eyes fixated on her, "Tell me everything that happened after I died! Quick!"
Hello everyone, let me explain the recent plot! It seems many readers didn't understand, although it should be coming to an end soon. The seal on Zhi Yao is about to be lifted, but this involves a lot of things from her previous life, so it's hard to explain in a few words. I'll talk about it in the extra chapters later!
Ji Qingpei is the lingering obsession left behind by Pei Chiyao. He was afraid Zhi Yao would be bullied after his death, so he left this lingering obsession to protect her! Zhi Yao encountered some things, and her memory is stuck before she met Pei Chiyao, leaving her dazed and silly. To prevent herself from forgetting the truth in the future, she also left a lingering consciousness. The details will be explained later!
I kind of want to finish it in November ORZ. I feel like the plot is getting more and more off track. Maybe many readers just want to see the romantic parts, but if I keep writing just the romantic parts, I won't have much else to write TAT. The main plot is a bit complicated and many people don't understand it. I'm afraid if I keep writing, it'll fall apart, so after I finish this part, I'll try my best to bring the plot back and then complete it. That's all!
