My Supernatural Exes Are Desperate to Win Me Back - Chapter 3
There was a saying that guilt does not extend to parents, and misfortune does not extend to wives and children. Implicit collective punishment was absolutely unacceptable.
After all, humans were humans, foxes were foxes, things were things, and an ex-boyfriend was not a good thing.
“I’m sorry, you look a tiny bit like my ex-boyfriend,” Xu Xining apologized sincerely to the fox. “But! Looking closely, he’s way uglier than you.”
Xie Yi: ?
Xu Xining held the fox and used her phone to look for nearby pet hospitals, but at this hour, all the pet hospitals were already closed.
Xu Xining suddenly realized she had picked up a hot potato.
Ms. Lin Wei hated small animals, so they had never raised anything at home. Firstly, she didn’t know how to raise one, and secondly, she didn’t know how to treat illnesses.
Originally, she wanted to put the fox right back onto the ground exactly as it was, apologize sincerely by saying “I’m sorry for my incompetence, please find someone else to pull an insurance fraud scam on,” and then run away at top speed.
However, the fox was truly too well-behaved and pleasing. Initially, Xu Xining was a bit afraid it might suddenly unleash its wild nature and bite her, but it just obediently stayed still with its two front paws resting on her shoulder.
Except just now, it seemed to have secretly licked her neck.
Did it lick her?
Xu Xining looked down. A pair of fox eyes was staring straight at her, like obsidian filled with light. The shape of the eyes rose and fell with a sultry gaze, and it even whimpered twice at her.
“Ying-ying~”
It must be an illusion.
Wild animals that were found had to be handed over to the forestry department. She would harbor it for one night at most, and send the fox away tomorrow.
Xu Xining spoke up and asked, “Brother Fox, do you want to stay at my place for the night?”
The first principle of the Management Bureau was confidentiality. The existence of non-humans must be kept secret from the public. Therefore, as long as Xie Yi stayed together with Xu Xining, the people from the Bureau could not make a move on him.
Xie Yi, of course, was happily carried home by her, and even took advantage of her opening the door to secretly kiss her cheek twice.
Back when they were a fake couple, it wasn’t like they had never kissed. His kissing skills were so good that a single kiss could make someone ecstatic for him, yet it seemed to have no effect on Xu Xining.
She kissed him in front of the paparazzi’s lenses, and after the kiss, she silently handed him a piece of chewing gum, giving him a righteous look that said “good bro, don’t forget to pay attention to your breath management,” which felt like a silent mockery.
After entering the house, Xie Yi naturally leapt onto the sofa, crouching in the exact same spot as last time.
He was always one to enjoy himself, and this was the most comfortable spot in Xu Xining’s home, even though the cheap leather could not even compare to the foot rug in his house.
Xu Xining grabbed a towel to wipe the blood off the fox, muttering the whole time, “Big bro, let’s agree on something. In a moment, when I wipe the wound, if it hurts, you can curse at me but you can’t bite me. To be honest, I didn’t want to wipe you down either, but you dirtied the sofa…”
Xie Yi soothingly lowered his head to lick her hand.
In the next second, Xu Xining mercilessly wiped the saliva from her hand onto his tail, grumbling, “Yuck, so much saliva. Quite disgusting.”
Xie Yi: …
He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head back to lick his tail fur with a face full of disgust.
He was indeed quite heavily injured, but with his eight hundred years of cultivation, it hadn’t reached the point where a bit of external trauma would damage his muscles or bones.
However, the person who attacked him was very strange.
The Management Bureau also had to consider methods and procedures when doing things. Xie Yi was one of the three major rulers of the entire monster race; in other words, he was truly the king of the monster race.
Previously, when he repeatedly used sorcery in crowds, the people from the Bureau had also sought him out, but they were always deferential and polite. The so-called arrest warrant was just a formality, akin to a stern warning. Just as the US president, no matter how arrogant, could not arrest another country’s president and lock him up with petty thieves in a jail cell, a head teacher could slap your palm but could not slap your father’s palm.
Although the Management Bureau was called the Heterogeneous Management Bureau, everyone was on an equal level. You manage human society, and I manage monster society. The director of the Bureau met with him according to diplomatic etiquette, where everyone found a place to sit down, drink tea, and chat, with a secretary on the side rapidly taking meeting minutes.
He was the person who represented the monster race in signing the peace covenant with the Bureau back then. If the Bureau really made a move on him, he wouldn’t mind igniting a new round of war.
Yet the person who attacked him tonight… was that a fucking clerk? That was a madman!
Coming up without saying a word, it was just hack and slash. Those who knew would think he was an Execution Department specialist holding a Bureau arrest warrant, while those who didn’t would think a wild man from Shennongjia had suddenly appeared in human society, or that Arkham Asylum had escaped another new psychiatric patient.
Seemingly out of intuition, Xie Yi always felt that person’s business with him wasn’t public duty, but a private vendetta. It was as if he had killed the other’s entire family, and the other had amassed a belly full of rage to come seek revenge.
However, Xie Yi hadn’t killed anyone for many years. He had neither the interest nor the necessity.
At most, he had slept with someone’s mother twenty years ago and then walked away. Saying it like this, drawing hatred was also within reason, and that person might even be his son wandering outside, which explained why his skills were so good and why he wasn’t charmed by him. He naturally couldn’t charm his own biological son, otherwise, a major problem would occur…
After Xie Yi groomed his tail, he elegantly reclined on the sofa, narrowing his eyes and thinking for a long time, but he couldn’t remember which woman Zhan Xingye looked like.
Mainly because he had slept with too many women, so he was completely without a clue for the time being.
While Xie Yi was recalling his romantic history in the living room, Xu Xining was in the bedroom making a call to the forestry department.
They had a 24-hour telephone service, and the person receiving her call was a gentle woman: “Hello, this is the Huaijiang City Forestry Bureau. How can I help you?”
Xu Xining said, “I picked up a fox by the roadside. It doesn’t have a collar, and it’s not quite the same as a normal red fox. It might be wild.”
“All right, miss. Can you give me a brief description of the fox’s physical characteristics? Body size, color, gender, and whether there are visible external injuries.”
“Including the tail, it’s about one meter. Its limbs are snow-white and slender, with a speck of exotic white between its brows, and a wound on its chest. But it looks quite energetic, so it shouldn’t be serious. As for the gender…”
Xu Xining held her phone and walked into the living room.
She gestured to the fox, and Xie Yi followed suit with condescending grace, stepping forward.
He walked elegantly and leisurely, more prideful than the most magnificent catwalk. His sleek, smooth fur flowed like water ripples under the light, just like when he used to wear a suit encrusted with diamonds and shine brilliantly on a stage drawing the gaze of ten thousand people.
A person like Xie Yi was naturally meant to be courted by the masses. No matter what form he was in, he exuded an irresistible, fatal attraction.
Xu Xining said to the other end of the phone, “Hold on a moment.”
She propped the phone with her shoulder, scooped him up with both hands, flipped him over quickly, and then, like a shameless rogue or a wretched old thief, pried open his slender, beautiful hind legs.
Xie Yi: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Xu Xining: Stare—
The girl pondered seriously for a moment.
“Um, I’m not very sure,” Xu Xining tilted her head and said to the person on the phone. “It might be male.”
Remove those three uncertain words!!!
Just as Xie Yi wanted to bare his teeth at her, Xu Xining reached out again and touched his balls.
Fluffy, soft.
Soft balls.
The texture felt super good.
“It is indeed male.”
Xu Xining sealed the verdict, nodding with absolute certainty, like an elegant doctoral biologist satisfied to see the experimental results.
Xu Xining tossed him aside after using him, turning around to continue the phone call, “Mm-mm thank you, my address is No. 281 Cherry Blossom Street, can you come in the evening…”
This posture of tossing him away after use was truly thoroughly Xu Xining.
Xie Yi flipped over and leapt up, arching his back behind her and letting out a low growl. He hadn’t been angered like this by a woman in eight hundred years.
He seemed to have never been angry at women in his life. In any case, no matter how unreasonable a woman was, in his eyes, it was always excusable, pitiful, and lovely.
He didn’t mind Xu Xining touching him. She could touch wherever she wanted.
She could be shy, she could be ambiguous, but she absolutely could not be like an andrologist or even a self-taught vet.
That feeling was extremely subtle, just like a man in a public restroom when suddenly the big brother at the neighboring urinal comes close, takes a feel, and says “yo bro, not bad,” making one feel happy and angry simultaneously, unable to distinguish whether to say “you’re too kind, likewise likewise” or pull up his zipper and give him a punch.
Xu Xining hung up the phone to take a shower. When she came out after showering, she found the fox had somehow flared up in anger, baring its teeth and claws.
She looked at him inexplicably, reaching out her hand wanting to pat his head: “Big bro, why are you suddenly unhappy? Do you eat carrots?”
Xu Xining fished out a carrot prepared for the fox and poked at his mouth like she was feeding a rabbit.
Xie Yi: Eat your mother’s carrots, I hate carrots the most in this life.
The girl squatted in front of the sofa, scratching her hair, a bit distressed.
She negotiated with him in all seriousness: “How about you touch my chest, and the two of us will count it as even, okay? Everyone is a reasonable comrade, let’s not damage our harmony over a trifling matter!”
The girl’s golden hair scattered, contrasting with her skin which was as white as snow.
She had just showered, radiating a nice scent of lemon-flavored body wash.
From this angle, one could see the wide collar revealing an exquisite collarbone faintly showing a pink hue, the steaming temperature bringing a sweet fragrance rushing over.
She was so beautiful it seemed like an incitement to crime.
The girl laughed to herself after speaking. In any case, the fox couldn’t understand, she was just talking to herself for her own amusement.
Xie Yi didn’t understand her mental wiring, the corner of his mouth twitching unnaturally.
When he was Xie Yi, she treated him as a brother. When he was a fox, she still treated him as a brother.
Why was being her brother so easy, but being her lover was so hard.
Unprecedentedly, Xie Yi didn’t touch her.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and helplessly lowering his head, he gently retracted his teeth and licked the girl’s hand.
In the dead of night, Xu Xining slept soundly.
Xie Yi crouched on the soft cushion of the bay window, narrowing his eyes to admire the girl’s sleeping posture.
The heating in the room was very adequate. She only covered herself with a thin blanket, sleeping in a total mess.
Half of the blanket was padded beneath her body, half was draped over her legs, and her thin pajama top was turned up, revealing a section of slender, white waist, looking as if it gave off a faint, shimmering light in the darkness.
Xie Yi turned his head leisurely, and was suddenly startled.
Outside the window was pitch black like thick ink. Enveloped in the dense night, a person was actually standing dead straight outside the window!
That person stood on the window ledge which was only two fingers wide, his hair blown into a disheveled and fierce mess by the high-altitude wind, his gaze so sharp it made one’s heart leap with terror.
He pressed one hand against the window, the pads of his five fingers pressed deathly pale, and even across the thick glass, it seemed a torrential rage came howling through.
This was the twenty-eighth floor! Did he think he was Spider-Man?!
The window opened in response beneath Zhan Xingye’s palm, scraping in a cold night wind.
He flipped inside, swift as a thunderbolt, yet landing as light as a cat. He raised his hand, about to grab Xie Yi.
“Don’t be angry, baby.”
Xie Yi leaped away, revealing a smile, attempting to awaken a non-existent father-son affection, “My love for your mother was real, all these years I’ve been thinking about her… Her name was Chen Enlan! Right! I’m asking you if it’s right!”
Zhan Xingye pounced like lightning, grabbing the fox’s neck with one hand, while the other hand fished out a cold knife with a slender blade from out of nowhere. Hand rising and knife falling, he looked completely like he wanted him to bite the dust!
Xie Yi: …Fuck, I must have guessed wrong.
