Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

"Don't be too sad, Aji. The clan leader said he left you a token. Did you receive it?" The fox-eared boy couldn't bear to see his friend sad, so he waited until Cheng Ji's emotions stabilized before changing the subject.

Cheng Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Where is it?"

Cheng An was also stunned when he heard Cheng Ji's reply, and reminded uncertainly: "Didn't you go to the sacred mountain? It's in the clan's ancestral hall."

After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Ji shook his head and said, "No, I am sure there is nothing on the sacred mountain. I have also searched the ancestral hall, but there is not even a single useful clue left."

Then, the two of them immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and their faces became much more solemn. Cheng Ji frowned and said, "After you evacuated, someone went to the sacred mountain again, and this person is very familiar with the sacred mountain."

"He should be someone from the clan. But why does he want to take the clan leader's token?" Although Cheng An asked this, he actually already had the answer in his mind.

For that position.

Cheng Ji chuckled, his hand gently traced the direction of a certain pattern on the quilt, and said, "If you don't have the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, you can't enter the sacred mountain at all. Those people not only entered, but also did not trigger the maze and protection mechanism. Someone in the tribe must have made it easy for them."

"If this is true, then the younger generations in the clan will probably be in great danger after they go out... Cheng Xiaoan, do you have any specific information about what happened to them after they went out?" Cheng Ji lowered his eyes and then used his fingertips to carefully outline the pattern.

Cheng An shook his head: "I only know that they went to Sichuan and Shu, but I don't know the exact location. I was arranged to be the last one to evacuate. I don't know where the Zhang family got the information about the exact evacuation location. They brought a few masked men in black to intercept us on the road we had to take to evacuate. In order to cover the departure of the people in the clan, I was responsible for leading them away. It was just bad luck that I couldn't escape and fell into their hands."

Cheng Ji did not respond, but asked a nonsensical question: "When did you say your fox ears appeared?"

"After forty-nine days." Cheng An was stunned. He didn't expect why the topic suddenly turned back here, but he still answered honestly.

Cheng Ji grabbed Cheng An's wrist, pulled it over, and stared at the palm of his hand carefully again and again.

"Force the blood out of your fingertips." Cheng Ji ordered in a cold voice.

Cheng An did as he was told.

Cheng Ji condensed his resentment into a pen, dipped it in the Nine-Tailed Fox's essence and blood, and drew a series of difficult-to-understand runes on Cheng An's wrist. When the runes touched the skin, golden light flashed and penetrated into the skin inch by inch.

"Ah——" Since the runes buried deep in his body had been rooted for thousands of years and had already shown signs of fusion, when Cheng Ji pulled them out this time, the tearing pain in Cheng An's heart was particularly severe, and he couldn't help but cry out.

When the pen fell, the resentment dissipated with the wind. Cheng Ji let out a long sigh, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from the fox-eared boy's forehead, and explained: "I began to doubt you when you came in just now, so I asked you. Our Nine-Tailed Clan can stimulate animal ears under certain conditions, but they are not gray and white. There are traces of talismans on your animal ears. I think they look very familiar, so I unconsciously copied the patterns."

"As a result, I guessed correctly. This is a small rune that tracks and stimulates blood. You can't see it, and you can't feel it. Moreover, this rune recognizes its master. Unless you use a corresponding talisman to remove it, as long as the person who cast this rune on you is not dead, your beast ear will not disappear."

"That is to say, the person who gave you this talisman is the traitor in the clan. He is not dead, and he has survived to this day just like you and me. If nothing unexpected happens, he should find this place soon. We don't have much time, so we will leave here tomorrow." Cheng Ji analyzed calmly.

"Okay." Cheng An responded. Looking at the young master in front of him who was exactly the same as he was a thousand years ago, he finally let down his guard and revealed a sincere smile that he had not seen for a long time.

"You can retract your ears and tail. Try to activate the power of your bloodline." Cheng Ji touched the ears of the fox-eared boy, and smiled as he comforted the child who liked to follow him on missions since he was a child and always stayed by his side.

Cheng An nodded, and obediently activated the power of his blood, retracting the animal ears and fox tail bit by bit.

But after retracting his tail, the boy's face turned red, and he covered a cold part of his back with his hands due to the wind leaking in, and ran away in panic.

Cheng Ji looked at Cheng An's running back with amusement and chuckled.

He and Cheng An were in the same batch of people who had their blood concentration tested. At that time, everyone in the clan thought that people like them couldn't get along together, and he also thought so.

But Cheng An was the opposite of what everyone expected. He didn't care about the status and position given to him by the clan. He was even unwilling to lead the team on a mission even though he could. Ever since the two met, Cheng An had been following him wholeheartedly.

Even shortly before he got into trouble, they had agreed on the destination for their next mission and would dine at a famous local restaurant.

But things don't always go as planned, and who would have thought that a thousand years would have passed since this promise was fulfilled.

But that’s okay, at least things haven’t changed.

While Cheng Ji was thinking, Zhang Qiling walked into the room, saw Cheng Ji who was in a daze and lost in his memories, and closed the door.

He brought the medicine soup warmed in hot water on the table to the boy leaning on the head of the bed, scooped up a spoonful to test the temperature, and fed it to the boy's lips.

Cheng Ji came back to his senses and smiled as he enjoyed the food from the gods.

But the moment the medicine entered his mouth, Cheng Ji's expression froze and he swallowed the extremely bitter medicine with difficulty.

But who would have known that just after he swallowed the previous mouthful, the next spoonful of Lingchi from the gods would be delivered to his mouth.

“……?” The young man looked pitifully at the man in front of him. He looked like a wilted little fox with drooping ears.

But knowing that this was just a trick played by the young man, Zhang Qiling remained unmoved and did not even move the spoon.

Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was useless, Cheng Ji had no choice but to take Zhang Qiling's hand and drink the medicine mouthful by mouthful.

When Zhang Qiling put the bowl of medicine aside, he saw the young man stretching his hand in front of him eagerly.

"?" Zhang Qiling expressed his doubts with his eyes.

Cheng Ji extended his hand forward again and explained, "Where's the candy?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head helplessly: "No more, I'll go buy some."

As he was about to get up, the young man grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the bed.

Zhang Qiling didn't try to break free. He just lay on the bed and looked at the harmless boy beside him.

Cheng Ji turned over and sat on Zhang Qiling's tight and strong waist, hooked his lips, touched the god's thin lips with his fingertips, and a smile spread across his face.

He leaned down and whispered in his sweetheart's ear:

"Brother, you don't have to buy it, just kiss me."

Just as sweet.
