Chapter 68
Although she didn't have much ability now, but... she would grow up one day!
When Pei Chiyao heard this, he was even more stunned.
After a while, he finally realized what Zhi Yao was asking about.
It turned out, she had seen the old scars on his back.
This feeling was strange.
For the first time, someone asked him... if it hurt.
He sat up, holding the soft little one in his arms, and patiently and gently coaxed: "It hasn't hurt for a long time."
Zhi Yao sniffed, and after hearing him say that, she finally felt a little better, saying: "Who was so mean! To actually bully you! I'll put them in my Jade Pendant, and never let them out again, starve them to death!"
This was the most cruel and torturous method Zhi Yao could think of.
Upon hearing this, Pei Chiyao couldn't help but laugh lightly, "He's already dead."
He never held grudges, usually settling scores on the spot if there were any.
When Zhi Yao heard this, she was stunned, "Ah?"
"I killed him."
His tone was casual, talking about killing someone as if he were just commenting on the weather.
Zhi Yao stared blankly at Pei Chiyao.
"Are you afraid?"
He looked down at the little one in his arms.
If she still had her tail and ears at this moment, they would definitely be drooping.
He adored Zhi Yao's tail, fluffy, and he loved playing with it, never wanting to let go.
He thought the little girl would be scared pale, but unexpectedly Zhi Yao shook her head and said, "Not afraid, bad people deserve their punishment!"
This answer stunned Pei Chiyao.
"What if I was the bad one?" he asked in return.
Zhi Yao didn't even think about it and said without hesitation, "You're not, you're the best person in the whole world."
She hugged Pei Chiyao tightly, and added, "Well, maybe a little worse than my mother!"
"Heartless little thing." He reached out and pinched Zhi Yao's nose, then smoothly changed the subject, "Yao Yao, what does your mother look like, do you still remember? Who took her away? Is she still alive?"
Pei Chiyao suddenly brought up Zhi Yao's mother, which made Zhi Yao startled.
She was always very cautious about her mother's matters, because her mother really disliked humans. If her mother knew she had been staying with Pei Chiyao for so long, her mother would not only scold her to death but also kill Pei Chiyao.
Zhi Yao hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, I don't know..."
She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao could naturally see through her lie at a glance, but since Zhi Yao was unwilling to say more, he didn't probe further.
"Get up."
He gently patted Zhi Yao's bottom, signaling her to get off him.
...
After breakfast, Zhi Yao went to the film crew first, planning to go find Little Niang later to deliver a note.
Soon, 'The Fox Sprite Tale' would wrap up filming, and this was the last scene today.
Everyone was very reluctant to part with Zhi Yao.
"Yao Yao." Sister Su was doing Zhi Yao's hair, "After this drama airs, our Yao Yao will definitely become a big hit!"
Zhi Yao didn't really understand the concept of becoming a big hit, and said confusedly, "Ah, will I change color?"
She was a fox, not a chameleon.
Sister Su was amused to tears by Zhi Yao, "You're killing me, darling, becoming a big hit means that a lot of people will like you, and there will be many dramas looking to cast you. Then, you'll earn a lot of money."
A lot of people would like her? Earn a lot of money?
Zhi Yao's eyes lit up instantly, barely holding back her tail, "Earn a lot of money?!"
Then she could have milk tea freedom!!!
She wouldn't need to let Pei Chiyao buy milk tea for her anymore.
"Yes."
Sister Su nodded, "Oh right, this is your first drama, and it's a low-budget one, so the pay definitely won't be high, but you should have at least a few hundred thousand, did you get it?"
A few hundred thousand?!
Zhi Yao was dumbfounded, she hadn't even seen a single dollar!
Seeing Zhi Yao's expression, Sister Su knew what was going on.
This silly goose, she probably didn't even know actors get paid for filming.
After spending this period of time together, Sister Su had figured out Zhi Yao's nature. Just a girl who came out of the mountains, clueless about everything.
She looked at Zhi Yao with pity, luckily she was signed to Pei Chiyao, if it was someone else, who knows how those evil capitalists would exploit and devour her!
What Sister Su didn't know was that Pei Chiyao also wanted to devour Zhi Yao, just in a different way...
"It's probably been sent to Director Sun, you can ask him later. Alright, take a look, how is it, beautiful or not?"
It was only then that Zhi Yao looked up in a daze.
The last wrap-up scene was a bed scene...
The male and female leads get married, and the little fox sprite gives up her cultivation to become an ordinary human in order to be with the male lead.
From then on, they live a peaceful and happy life together.
It was a very ordinary happily-ever-after ending.
And Zhi Yao's outfit today was an elaborate phoenix crown and wedding dress.
The young girl looked up, her eyes rippling with water, pure and bright, yet with a hint of allure at the corners, every movement and smile captivating.
Sister Su couldn't take her eyes off her, taking several photos of Zhi Yao with her phone.
After finally finishing, Zhi Yao was about to leave when there was a knock on the dressing room door, and Pei Chiyao's voice came from outside, "Are you ready?"
Zhi Yao quickly responded, "Ready, ready!"
She opened the dressing room door, but when she saw Pei Chiyao, she suddenly froze as well.
Pei Chiyao was also wearing a bright red wedding robe, with a handsome face and striking eyes that were fixed intently on Zhi Yao, unwilling to look away even for a moment.
The onlookers behind him, including Sister Su, were about to squeal out loud!
The shipping! So much shipping energy! She... she was going to swoon from it!
She wanted to shout out loud.
"Let's go."
It was Pei Chiyao who regained his senses first, suddenly extending his hand towards Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao noticed there were other people watching, so she didn't reach out her hand, only leaving the dressing room first.
As soon as they arrived at the filming location, people around them started whispering.
"This is Chiyao's first bed scene since his debut!"
"My pure Chiyao is no longer pure, waaah..."
"Hmph, my baby goose is the one being taken advantage of! Who knows if Yao Yao will be nervous later."
All of Zhi Yao's mother fans in the crew were heartbroken for her.
After all, Zhi Yao looked like she hadn't even been weaned yet, how could she film a bed scene?!
They were utterly distressed.
They originally wanted to watch, but the director waved his hand and cleared the area.
It was the first time Zhi Yao had seen the crew so empty, and she curiously asked: "Where did they all go?"
The director kindly explained to Zhi Yao, "To prevent you from getting nervous, I only left a few of us here, so don't worry Yao Yao, just treat us like air later."
But Zhi Yao looked confused, "Ah? Why would I be nervous? A bed scene is just kissing on the bed, right? Pei Chiyao and I do that all the time, so... mmph!"
Before she could finish, Pei Chiyao covered her mouth with his hand.
