But there was still no response.
Wen Xiao’ai had stood on the balcony for a while, and seeing that the other party dared not show themselves, she was about to retract her mana and go back to her room to reinforce the barrier. Just then, a slight noise came from the flower bed below the balcony.
Wen Xiao’ai jumped directly from the second-floor balcony and landed steadily on the ground.
She looked warily toward the shadows hidden by the cluster of flowers and plants, "Come out, or I won’t be nice to you anymore."
Hearing Wen Xiao’ai’s unfriendly words, the white figure hiding behind the plants trembled with fear.
Seeing that the other party still refused to appear, Wen Xiao’ai’s palms condensed with mana as she took steps closer to the flower bed.
As the footsteps approached, the white figure shrank into a ball, wanting yet not wanting to flee.
Finally, gathering courage, it spoke with a trembling, soft voice, "... I, I’m not a bad person."
Wen Xiao’ai stopped in her tracks, tilted her head, and saw a white garment peeking out from behind the flowers.
"Then come out. I won’t hit you."
"Yes, I really won’t hit you." Wen Xiao’ai retracted her mana and even took a few steps back.
She could feel it, that hiding behind the flowers was a remnant soul, harmless.
The murderous intent in Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes faded, and with a tilt of her small head, she stared curiously at the cluster of plants.
Finally, a translucent head peeked out.
Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes widened involuntarily as she looked at the boy who had a pair of high twin ponytails and a face so cute it could kill.
So cute~ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
When she saw the boy’s ears, Wen Xiao’ai’s eyes lit up.
A Fox Demon, it turned out to be a Fox Demon.
And a rare Nine-tailed Red Flame Fox at that
No wait, he’s now a ghost, not a demon.
But it’s all the same~
Wen Xiao’ai, somewhat excited, dashed into the flower bed and ran toward the boy.
The boy, hugging his knees, crouched behind the plants, shrunk back in fear, burying his head into his arms.
Wen Xiao’ai crouched beside the boy behind the cluster of plants, her deep blue eyes curiously examining him.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person either."
"Don’t hide your face, come on, look at me." Wen Xiao’ai wanted to pry the boy’s head out of his arms but felt it impolite to touch him without permission.
After all, she hated it when people touched her without her permission.
"I’m really not a bad person. I’m a Cat Demon, just like you, we’re both demons, so don’t be afraid." Wen Xiao’ai had been feeling homesick these past few days, and suddenly meeting a friend from the Demon Realm really felt comforting.
Even though he was from the Fox Clan and now just a remnant soul.
But Cat Demons and Fox Demons have always had a good relationship.
"Look at my ears, see, my ears are like yours." Wen Xiao’ai showed her own cat ears to the boy.
Hearing Wen Xiao’ai’s words, the boy cautiously lifted his head from his arms and looked at her.
When he saw Wen Xiao’ai’s fluffy cat ears and her smiling face, the boy finally felt less afraid.
Seeing the boy finally lift his head and look at her, Wen Xiao’ai was overjoyed, her small ears involuntarily moved.
The boy, seeing Wen Xiao’ai’s playfully moving cat ears, also felt a touch of kinship.
"Miss Wen, are you there?"
Footsteps sounded, and several night patrol guards came walking over.
