Chapter 165
Anthony was also very surprised as he looked at his palm, "This... what's going on?"
The person who bumped into Anthony heard him, and his expression immediately became strange as well, "Why can't I see you?"
Anthony raised his hand in amazement and grabbed that person. When he touched the man's rough hands, Anthony trembled and even pulled up the man's sleeve, caressing his arm. After a long while, Anthony showed a smile that seemed a bit eerie to him.
He smiled and murmured to himself, "I can actually... touch the people in this world? I can actually do it?!"
If that was the case, wouldn't he be able to go to the Ji Family's book repository and browse through the various books on capturing demons?
At this thought, the smile on Anthony's face grew even wider, "Hahaha! Hahaha!"
He even forgot to pull his hand back, his fingers still rubbing against the burly middle-aged man's arm.
He was laughing wholeheartedly when suddenly, "Slap!" A powerful slap struck Anthony's face, followed by the trembling voice of the burly man, "Pervert!"
Anthony was instantly dumbfounded. He looked up in bewilderment at the burly man, but saw him covering his face, stamping his feet, and running away shyly.
"Wuwuwu, I was being indecent!"
Anthony: "???"
Zhi Yao squatted on the ground, nibbling on a candied haw, and looked up at Anthony, "Anthony, I didn't expect you to have such tastes."
Anthony hurriedly looked at his hands, hastily wiping them on his clothes, "Let me explain, ah no, let me explain!"
Zhi Yao had an expression as if she had already seen through everything. She finished the last candied haw, stood up and patted Anthony's shoulder, saying profoundly, "Okay, okay, I understand."
She had secretly seen many stories of sleeve-cutters when she used to sneak out to play on the streets. They were about two men... those story books were quite touching, and Zhi Yao even cried a jar of tears for one of them, so she didn't discriminate against such people at all.
Anthony: "..."
That's it.
Can't explain clearly, right?
But he didn't have the mind to consider this now, his mind was full of the demon-catching secrets in the book repository.
"No! I have to go back to the Ji Family again."
After all, he had no use here for Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao. To them, he was just like a light bulb.
It had to be said that Anthony had a very clear positioning of himself.
He was about to leave when Zhi Yao, seeing Anthony's back, hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Anthony didn't answer, and Zhi Yao instinctively wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Pei Chiyao grabbing her arm, "Let him go."
The little girl turned her head and saw Pei Chiyao holding a string of big, red candied haws, and instantly all her attention was drawn to that candied haw, "Pei Chiyao, I want to eat it!"
She opened her mouth, "Ah wu," about to bite into the candied haw, but unexpectedly Pei Chiyao's movement was faster than Zhi Yao's, and he dodged it, "No eating, you'll ruin your teeth if you eat any more."
The little girl was unconvinced, "No I won't, no I won't. We foxes have the toughest teeth. Give me one more bite!"
She looked at Pei Chiyao pitifully, but Pei Chiyao wrapped up the candied haw, "You can eat this one tomorrow."
She instantly deflated like a popped balloon, but soon Zhi Yao perked up again, "Pei Chiyao, why can we touch things in this world now? And also, are you sure we don't need to follow Anthony?"
"No need." Pei Chiyao glanced calmly at Anthony's back, "He's not as simple as he seems on the surface."
The palm strike he used against Anthony earlier was no simple matter. If Anthony was as simple as he appeared on the surface, he would not have recovered so quickly from that palm strike, let alone being hit by that horse earlier.
He really wanted to know what Anthony was here to do.
"As for why we can touch things in this world..." Pei Chiyao pondered briefly, then shook his head.
He guessed that this matter was most likely related to Ji Qingpei. That is, his former self in his previous life.
Perhaps he sensed something.
Although he had the memories of his previous life, looking at that person with the exact same face as himself, he didn't have any feeling of familiarity. Perhaps it was because... too much time had passed.
"Let's go."
He ruffled Zhi Yao's head, seeing the little girl's confused expression, and smiled lightly.
Zhi Yao looked even more bewildered, "Where to?"
"To find the fox."
What?
Zhi Yao was completely confused. After being confused, an immense sense of jealousy and anger instantly arose in Zhi Yao's heart.
What did Pei Chiyao just say?! He actually wanted to find another fox?!
She was such a big fox right here, yet he still wanted to find another fox!
Zhi Yao was so angry that her eyes turned red. She stepped forward and firmly stamped on Pei Chiyao's foot, saying angrily and resentfully, "Scumbag!"
Pei Chiyao could tell with just one look at her expression that the little girl had misunderstood.
But not only was he not angry, a faint sweet feeling gradually pervaded his heart. Pei Chiyao went forward and hugged Zhi Yao, holding her in his embrace. His low, hoarse voice seemed to carry an electric current, spreading through Zhi Yao's body, "Such a silly little thing."
He sighed, "The fox I mentioned is you."
The most urgent task now was to find the source of Zhi Yao's seal.
In the original world, it would definitely not be found, as it had been several hundred years, and the person who sealed Zhi Yao might have turned to ashes long ago.
But here it was different. Since they were destined to have a connection with Xuanling Town, it meant that there must be something waiting for them in this Xuanling Town.
Therefore, Pei Chiyao believed that here, he would definitely be able to find the person who sealed Zhi Yao.
"Is it me?" Zhi Yao was dazed for a moment, then suddenly turned around. "You mean..."
"Not too dull." Pei Chiyao tapped her head. "Now it's your turn. Think carefully, what were you doing at this moment?"
What was she doing?
Zhi Yao frowned and wracked her brain for a while. "Pei Chiyao, I can't figure it out."
She didn't even know what time it was now, and Zhi Yao's memories from her childhood were vague and hazy. She really didn't know what she was doing at that moment.
However, just as Zhi Yao was at a loss, suddenly a white shadow flashed by in front of them, a small, fluffy lump.
