Bai Yunxian grit his teeth as he glared at the sly foxy bastard, who smirked at his response.
"What do you think? Tell me, Is there something I shouldn’t know? Or perhaps, pretend not to know, unlike a certain someone who likes to deceive other’s with a cute and kind exterior, but actually a hideous and brutal, cold blooded murderer in reality?"
"...!!!"
What?
What is he... t-talking about?
Don’t tell me, is it what I think it is?
Bai Yunxian was shocked as he looked at Chi Yan in a trance. He didn’t expected to see another person other than him to... regress.
"Did you also... come back in time?" Bai Yunxian asked with a trembling voice, pointing towards Chi Yan with shaky fingers, his cold eyes gave off a chill that no one has seen before.
Like a whole different person, with a completely different personality.
If someone who knows him from this timeline saw him right now, no one would be able to recognize him for who he is.
’That’s right. That is the real temperament, the real personality of this wretched guy. Causing havoc everywhere he goes, I don’t know how he managed to maintain such a pure image for so long despite being so nasty.’ Chi Yan thought as he saw Bai Yunxian’s dirty expression he was giving the guy.
For a moment, Chi Yan even doubted whether it was really the Bai Yunxian he knew, or perhaps his soul was swapped with someone else.
But now, he could surely say that it was indeed him. His expression really went well with that kind of personality.
"Right. I didn’t expected this to happen either. But I think I really did come back in time, though I still don’t understand how this mechanism works yet..." Chi Yan seemed to be in a daze as he looked down at his hand.
"However, no need to worry for you. Since the prson of my target this time isn’t you." A cheeky smirk flashed across Chi Yan’s face as he successfully irritated Bai Yunxian.
"It’s good if you did. If you were to come at me this time, I would’ve made sure to skin you alive and make a grilled fox out of you. Then gift your precious fur clothes to my beloved. Surely, it would make such a worthwhile gift, wouldn’t it?" Bai Yunxian poked at Chi Yan where it hurts, getting back at him right aeay.
’Looks like he is now fluent in talking nonsense too.’ Chi Yan thought that this phrase from Bai Yunxian felt similar. Where did he hear that before?
"It would be a priceless gift, to be exact." Chi Yan said as he remembered. It’s truly ironic.
’Talk a little more, and I’ll skin you to get the fur and grill you into a barbeque.’
Yeah, just like they say : Like husband, like wife!
They are truly made for each other. Two birds of same feather that flocks together ah!
"Hmm, but! Aren’t you gonna ask me, who is it?" Chi Yan wanted to provoke Bai Yunxian by speaking nonsense.
’As expected, he couldn’t bear it.’
Chi Yan smirked as he thought, but contrary to his expectations, Bai Yunxian only replied with a little ’Oh.’
"Guess you are thinking it doesn’t matter who it is to you, right? As long as it’s not you, I can pick anyone to my liking, yes?"
"Then what if, it was someone precious to you just as much as they are to me?"
Bai Yunxian had a expression saying ’What do you mean?’ written all over his face, though he didn’t reply to Chi Yan, only observing him silently.
"For instance, Lord Yun—?"
Gah!
Chi Yan didn’t got to finish his sentence as a strong grip grabbed his throat, glaring at him with red eyes.
"If you dare put a hand on Lord Yun, I’ll kill you with my own hands!" Bai Yunxian threatened the fox demon as he pressed hard on his throat, if he needs, he can kill him right hwre and now.
"That’s not up to you!" Chi Yan trietried to put his hold on the ground.
"If so, then it’d be better to kill you right here and now, isn’t it?" Bai Yunxian grinned like an absolute maniac, terrifying Chi Yan to his soul.
’Damn! This guy is crazier than me!’
"Cough, cough! I didn’t... I... won’t... touch... him!" Chi Yan tried hard to say the words as he tried to get away from Bai Yunxian. But the death grip on his throat didn’t bugde an inch no matter how hard he tried.
’Since when did he get so strong?’
Bai Yunxian really wanted to strangle this guy right there, but he thought rationally in such a moment of excitement.
’If I kill him now, it would be a waste. If he alive, I can make use of him to make an ally with demonic beast tribe on behalf of My Lord and help him during the upcoming war.’
’But if he died now, what if Lord Yun’s impression of me changes? I can’t let that happen! Calm down, calm down Bai Yunxian.’
’You don’t want to mess up everything you did till now.’
As Bai Yunxian thought, he gradually calmed down as he let go of Chi Yan, who fell in his knees on the ground; coughing violently.
"Remember this. Don’t repeat the same mistake, or next time it wouldn’t end with just strangling." Bai Yunxian patted on Chi Yan’s shoulder as he whispered.
"I’ll remember." Chi Yan grit his teeth as he forced himself to accept the loss.
His expression wasn’t something calm, rather it was that of a person going through painful memories.
"Anyway, I don’t think we have enough time to be wasting here, running through stupid memories. Yun Shu, that guy needs back up. If you are not planning on getting him killed, then we should depart right away." Chi Yan said as he shrugged his shoulders, which made Bai Yunxian surprised.
