Chapter 224: Past Events (There's a Ghost)
"Saigong, stop pushing me. I'm about to fall off the tree." Torachiyo complained somewhat dissatisfiedly, and pushed Kitsune Saigong, who was squeezing her face, away a little.
Then, Torachiyo continued, "Why do we have to hide in the tree to peek? Not only is this place uncomfortably narrow, but it also blocks our view. In my opinion, it would be better to just turn into a ghost and float next to them, so that we can watch them up close."
After hearing this, Kitsaigong rolled his eyes and retorted unhappily.
"Do you think you won't be discovered if you do this? Don't be naive. Your poor disguise is full of flaws. People will see through it at a glance. You will be the one who makes a fool of yourself and suffers the consequences."
"Instead of risking being discovered, it is better to conceal your own aura and secretly visit in a corner where they can't see you. This way, it is less likely to expose your identity."
The words of Kitsunayori were like a bucket of cold water, which extinguished most of the enthusiasm in Torachiyo's heart. Although she was unwilling, she also knew that Kitsunayori's words made sense.
Her mediocre camouflage skills were nothing in front of a real strong man. So she had no choice but to shut her mouth in dismay and stay on the tree obediently.
"It's getting late, Zhen, you should go back first."
Chen Yue looked at Zhen with deep concern in his eyes. Zhen seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just nodded slightly and turned away.
Looking at Zhen's back, Chen Yue slowly looked towards the position of Kitsuzaigong and Torachiyo, revealing a malicious smile. "A fox and a little devil. Peeking is not a good habit."
"Hey, Saigū, how come we were discovered? What should we do?" Looking at Kitsune Saigū's location, Torachiyo asked anxiously.
"Hey! Kitsuzai Palace, where are you? You can't play like this!"
Torachiyo looked around anxiously, but found that Kitsusai Palace had disappeared. She was panicked and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, her foot seemed to hit something. Torachiyo looked down from under her feet and saw an exquisite kunai stuck next to her.
Instantly, Torachiyo began to sweat profusely. She slowly raised her head and saw that familiar face that couldn't be more familiar.
"Hi, good evening, Chiyo. It's so late. Why are you still in the mood to go out for a walk?"
"And the place where you were walking was quite unique, walking among the trees. What was on your mind when you did that?"
Chen Yue looked at Hu Chiyo with a smile on his face, which looked a little strange in the night. Hu Chiyo swallowed his saliva, and although he was panicking in his heart, he pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Ahahaha, um...well, I just came out to get some fresh air, yes, some fresh air." Hu Chiyo stuttered, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. His eyes were a little evasive, not daring to look Chen Yue in the eye.
"Oh? To get some fresh air? Do I need to hide in a tree to get some fresh air?" Chen Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked softly with a half-smile. Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed a subtle chill.
Torachiyo's heartbeat quickened. She lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers nervously, and hesitantly said, "Actually, this was Saigū's idea. She dragged me here by my devil horn. I didn't know anything. It's not my fault."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost like a mosquito's buzz. Then she secretly looked up at Chen Yue, praying in her heart that he would not be angry. However, to her disappointment, the smile on Chen Yue's face was still as warm as the spring breeze, without the slightest change.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm suing you for defamation! What do you mean I dragged you here by your horns? You're obviously interested in this matter, too." Suddenly, a head popped out from the branches nearby. It turned out to be Kitsusai-miya. She looked at Torachiyo with dissatisfaction, protesting against her words.
Hu Zhaigong could not accept this unwarranted slander. How could she be the initiator? She decided to defend herself.
"You, look, she is here, ask her if this is true. Hey, Saigū, come here and explain!" Torachiyo seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked Kitsune Saigū for help, hoping that she could help him prove his innocence.
"Well, where did you go again?" Looking at the location where Kitsunayagiya appeared just now, Torachiyo shouted somewhat dejectedly.
"Well, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, where is the Hu Zhai Palace?" Chen Yue also looked at the original location of the Hu Zhai Palace, but there was no one there.
Torachiyo's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. She looked around, trying to find Kitsunayagiya, but the night was completely silent, as if Kitsunayagiya had never appeared.
"You two, are you trying to tease me on purpose?"
Torachiyo finally couldn't hold back her anger. She widened her eyes and stared at Chen Yue, as if she could see through him.
Chen Yue just smiled slightly, and that smile seemed a little strange in the night, as if hiding some unspeakable secret. "No way, how could I tease you? But, do you really believe that the Huzhai Palace you just saw is really the Huzhai Palace?"
Hu Chiyo was stunned by Chen Yue's question. She recalled everything that happened before and her heart began to waver. Yes, why did she believe that Kitsai Palace would appear here? All of this was so weird and unbelievable.
"I, I don't know, I just..." Torachiyo's voice trembled a little. She suddenly felt a fear, as if something was approaching her quietly.
At this moment, a strange sound came, as if it was a call from deep in the woods. Hu Chiyo and Chen Yue were both stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
"What's that sound?" Torachiyo asked nervously.
Chen Yue did not answer, but his expression was very awkward, as if he was under great pressure. He slowly stood up and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Tiger Chiyo hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow Chen Yue. She didn't know what she was about to face, and only when she was with Chen Yue could she feel a little safe.
The two walked through the woods and came to an open area. They saw a huge fox standing there, its eyes flashing as if it could see through everything.
"Saigong?" Torachiyo asked cautiously.
The fox slowly turned around and looked at Hu Chiyo and Chen Yue. There was a mysterious look in its eyes, as if it knew all the secrets.
Suddenly, the fox jumped in front of Torachiyo, and then turned into a gloomy human face in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, there is a ghost!"
