The little fox's voice was soft.
It sounded like a child who hadn't grown up yet.
It sounded very harmless.
Of course, as long as he remembered what this child had done,
The word "harmless" could not be applied to it.
Lin Shao waved the jade pendant in his hand at it.
Out of curiosity, he asked, "Who's your father?"
The little fox stopped talking.
It knew that it had blurted out the wrong thing.
It immediately stopped talking.
It obviously did not want to talk about this topic with Lin Shao.
Lin Shao did not force it.
It was a huge improvement for it to be able to speak.
He thought for a moment.
He changed to another question. "Then can you tell me?
Why do you want this jade pendant? "
He tried his best to soften his voice to appear gentler.
The little fox hesitated for a moment, then said, "That, that was mine to begin with."
After that, it added, "So I just took it back. It's not stealing."
"How did it become yours?" Lin Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yin Hua had many such jade pendants. To Nine-tailed Fox, they were just decorations.
After all, jade was worthless in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
This was just one of the many jade pendants that Yin Hua had casually picked out. Naturally, it had nothing to do with the mortal world.
"It tastes the same," the little fox argued.
"It tastes the same.
That's what's mine.
And there's a Nine-tailed Fox engraved on it.
You're not a fox.
So it's definitely not yours, it's mine. "
After the little fox finished speaking, it seemed to think that what it said made sense. It raised its finger and pointed at the Nine-tailed Fox engraved on the jade pendant. There was a hint of pride on its face. It continued, "Look, that fox looks exactly like me."
As soon as it said that, Lin Shao took a closer look at it.
The little fox and Yin Hua did look ninety percent alike. However, Yin Hua's original body was very big, and the little fox was too small. At first glance, it was hard to tell.
Foxes also had differences in appearance. Yin Hua's original body was very good-looking in the fox world. It was also unique in its appearance. However, the little fox in front of him really looked like it was carved from the same mold as Yin Hua.
Was it... transformed from Yin Hua's tail?
Faced with all these coincidences, Lin Shao could not let go of this conjecture. He even thought deeper because the little fox had blurted out "my father."
He secretly took a picture of the little fox and planned to show it to Yin Hua.
It would probably be scared if it saw it.
Lin Shao continued to ask a few more questions.
He asked the little fox how old it was, how it cultivated, and how it had injured Zhou Jiangheng. However, Lin Shao was not satisfied with the answers he received. Some of the answers were obviously nonsense, but the little fox was still playing dumb. It looked as if everything it said was the truth.
It was not afraid of being beaten up. Even though Lin Shao was obviously stronger than it in terms of physical strength, it still dared to make a fuss.
"I advise you to put me back." The little fox looked up at him. "If I get hurt, my father will not let you off. My father is very powerful."
Lin Shao was silent for a moment. He was still playing with the jade pendant in his hand.
Of course, he would not do anything to the little fox. If he really was related to Yin Hua, it would be too embarrassing to hurt the little fox. Besides, he was not the kind of person who would do anything for the sake of a mission.
"Do you have anything else you want to ask?" the little fox asked again. "If not, then return that thing to me."
The little fox had already used the word "return". It seemed that it really believed that the pendant belonged to it.
"How could it be that easy?" Lin Tuo put away the jade pendant. "I only asked a few questions. Don't be so naive, little friend."
The little fox looked a little annoyed. "Then what do you want?"
"I don't want anything." Lin Shaodao smiled and changed the topic. "Do you want to eat?"
"Ah?" The little fox looked at him blankly. It thought carefully for a moment, then turned its head away. "No!"
Lin Shao was not in a hurry. Foxes were very cunning. He had to use both the carrot and the stick to deal with them.
The last time Zhou Jiangheng met the little fox, he mentioned that it was the little fox that was discovered to be stealing from cake shops and dessert shops in the capital.
Moreover, it was very picky when it came to stealing, especially the expensive and delicious ones.
Because he had been giving food to the little taotie, Lin Shao had a lot of food in his space. He casually took out some cakes and sweets and piled them on one side. Then, he took out a few ingredients and a small oven from his space and made a few egg tarts.
Lin Shao was indeed hungry. The little fox came in the middle of the night. It was already two in the morning. Anyone would get hungry easily in the middle of the night, so it was normal for them to eat something.
When the little fox saw Lin Shao turn around, it tried to sneak away again. However, this room was very strange. No matter what it did, it could not escape. The window was clearly next to it.
It tried several times, but Lin Shao did not even turn around. The situation was like a ghost going around in circles. The little fox was so angry that it could not do anything.
At this time, the aroma of the egg tarts came out.
Baking the egg tarts was very fast. Lin Shao had everything in his space. He tore open a milk candy and looked at the little fox that was spinning in circles. He smiled and asked, "Don't be so busy. You can't get out. Do you want to eat something and try again?"
The little fox still held onto its backbone and was on guard. It resolutely refused to eat and turned its head to express its determination.
However, its sense of smell was particularly sharp. It could smell the sweet aroma of the unwrapped toffee, the rich egg aroma of the egg tarts taken out from the oven, and it could even feel the hot and crispy texture of the bites. There were several fruits taken out by Lin Tuo that it had never eaten before. After cutting them open, it smelled very tempting.
I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry at all.
The little fox closed its eyes and brainwashed itself.
But after closing its eyes, the tip of its nose became even more sensitive.
Lin Shao's words with a smile were still tempting it.
"Eat." He took a bite of the egg tarts, "This thing isn't poisonous. If I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't need to rely on this. I could just make a move since you can't escape anyway."
That was true.
The little fox's heart was shaken. It looked at Lin Shao and then looked at the egg tarts on the side. Its heart was in a struggle.
Lin Shao looked at the little fox and carefully thought for a while. Then he quickly moved his legs and moved over bit by bit.
"Eat." Lin Shao gave half of his food to it, "You'll have the strength to run when you're full."
Lin Shao's words made the little fox's heart waver. It lowered its head and licked it with its little tongue. Then it couldn't hold back and lowered its head to eat.
Although it comforted itself that it would have the strength to run when it was full, it didn't want to run anymore after it was full.
Lin Shao's dessert skills were really good. After all, it was a family skill. The egg tarts were casually made, but the little fox couldn't lift its head from eating. If he made a dessert carefully, the dessert outside couldn't compare. It looked good and tasted good.
It wasn't good to steal outside. The little fox hated being chased, but its father's desserts were terrible. It was plain and tasteless, so it couldn't do anything.
The city was much better than the mountains. There was so much good food, so it didn't want to leave.
Anyway, I can't escape. The little fox thought to itself. It would eat this meal first.
In the end, it didn't stop eating. Lin Shao raised the little fox for four-five days and it finally matured a little.
Now it was no longer on guard against Lin Shao and would even take the initiative to ask for hugs.
After lunch, Lin Shao fed it fruit. The little fox curled up on his lap and wagged its tail. It was so happy that it didn't want to go home.
"That's great." The little fox narrowed its eyes, "Home can't compare to here."
"Home?" Lin Shao casually added, "Don't you live in the mountains?"
