Chapter 31
The Demon Child Yu Fuli
Just do it!
Yu Fuli's amber eyes darted around, and his furry ears twitched slightly as a mischievous idea quickly took shape in his mind.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open; it was mealtime.
The beautiful maid, who always had a gentle smile and was exceptionally patient with him, walked in carrying a heavy tray.
The tray was placed on his designated low dining table.
The content is as abundant as ever.
The carefully pan-fried premium steak, exuding an enticing aroma of oil, the fresh rabbit meat with its bright red color and distinct texture, the two large chicken legs roasted to a golden brown and crispy skin, are accompanied by washed blueberries, raspberries, and several kinds of vibrant green vegetables.
As usual, a glass of perfectly warm, rich milk was also served on the side.
"Little Bai, it's time to eat."
Xiaobai was the name the maid gave Yu Fuli in private; she couldn't keep calling him "Fox Fox" all the time.
Besides, this fox is beautiful and mostly obedient. It even whines softly at her. If she didn't know it was the young master's pet, she would have loved to take it home and raise it herself.
Therefore, when she put down her plate and found that Yu Fuli did not immediately come over as usual, but instead lay motionless in place, she immediately became nervous.
"Xiaobai? Xiaobai, what's wrong?" She crouched down, reaching out worriedly to touch his nose. "Are you feeling unwell? Does your wound hurt?"
Yu Fuli raised her head before she touched her.
He didn't rub her hand affectionately as usual; instead, he stared at her intently with his amber eyes.
His eyes no longer held the usual languor or coquettishness, but instead revealed a focused intensity, making the maid feel as if he was eager to convey something.
Then, Yu Fuli gave her a deep look, silently said "sorry" in his heart, and then dashed out of the room like lightning!
"noob!"
The maid gasped in surprise and hurriedly chased after him to the door.
Although the villa is heavily guarded and theoretically Xiaobai shouldn't be able to run away, it's currently mealtime and the young master is downstairs. If he sees Xiaobai running around like this, he might get angry.
Thinking of this, the maid didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly chased after the white figure.
The maid's exclamation and hurried footsteps sounded behind her, but Yu Fuli ignored them. Her white figure flashed like lightning, rushing towards the main dining room downstairs without hesitation!
He remembered clearly that Xiao Chi usually ate there at this time.
"Xiaobai! Stop!" The maid's anxious and frightened voice was left behind.
Yu Fuli's heart was pounding in his chest, not only because he was running, but also because he was nervous about facing Xiao Chi.
He knew it was risky, that it might anger the other party and make them dislike him, but that was exactly what he wanted!
The restaurant's heavy, ornate double doors were right in front of me, slightly ajar, letting in warm light and faint sounds of conversation from inside.
Yu Fuli didn't slow down at all; it used its hind legs to propel itself forward and leaped into the air—
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, creating an even larger gap.
In the spacious and bright restaurant, only Xiao Chi sat at the long dining table.
He was dressed in comfortable loungewear, his red hair casually styled, and he was browsing an electronic document in his hand, having only eaten half of his meal. The sudden noise made him look up, his gaze precisely locking onto the white figure that had intruded, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
The maid, panting, appeared at the door, her face pale: "Young...Young Master! I'm so sorry! Little White suddenly..."
Before she could finish speaking...
With a clear goal in mind, Yu Fuli used the momentum of its charge to push off the ground with its hind legs and nimbly leaped onto the gleaming dark dining table!
He stopped beside the plate in front of Xiao Chi, just inches from his arm. His snow-white fur rippled slightly from running, and his amber eyes stared fearlessly into Xiao Chi's deep gaze. His rapid breathing was clearly audible in the suddenly silent restaurant.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Fuli extended its claws.
Without hesitation, he pushed with all his might.
He pushed the plate containing half a steak in front of Xiao Chi off the edge of the table!
"Splash—!"
The sound of the porcelain plate shattering was particularly jarring in the quiet restaurant, with soup and pieces of meat splattered all over the floor.
The maid covered her mouth in fright, unable to even utter a cry of surprise. She just stared in terror at the audacious white fox, then looked at the young master.
Xiao Chi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, as if he hadn't expected him to do that.
Yu Fuli gritted his teeth, deciding to go all the way! He nimbly turned around, his claws slashing one after another, sweeping away the several plates within reach—one containing vegetables, one containing bread, and the untouched glass of red wine!
Splash! Crack!
The sounds of shattering echoed everywhere, exquisite porcelain was reduced to a mess, and food and liquids were spilled on the gleaming floor.
As he moved, he nervously observed Xiao Chi's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
The expected outburst of rage did not occur.
Xiao Chi simply sat there quietly, without even moving his body. His deep eyes calmly watched him run amok and the mess on the ground. His expression didn't change much; after the initial surprise, he returned to his elusive calm.
This reaction...something's not right!
Yu Fuli's heart skipped a beat, and her paws froze in mid-air.
According to cases retrieved from the Mingming system database, there is a 90% chance that a family pet, especially a cat, will cause significant displeasure or even punishment to the owner if it pushes items off the table!
How come Xiao Chi didn't get angry at all when he followed the standard procedure to make his master angry?
He didn't even furrow his brow!
Xiao Chi looked at his frozen posture and his wide, amber eyes, filled with confusion and frustration, and finally spoke slowly. His tone held no anger, but rather a hint of indulgent, amused amusement:
"Have you had enough fun?" He even kindly added, "If not, you can continue. There are plenty of plates in the kitchen."
Yu Fuli: "…………"
This person...
Are you crazy?!
He roared inwardly.
Shouldn't a normal person get angry, fly into a rage, and then give him a good beating, lock him up, or kick him out?!
What's with that weirdly doting look on his face that says, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll watch"?!
Even King Zhou of Shang wasn't as incompetent as you!
And I am not Su Daji! You are not King Zhou of Shang!
A deep sense of frustration washed over me, as if the plan had completely gone off track.
His actions not only failed to test or provoke him, but were like punching cotton, no, like hitting a steel plate, and the other party even asked with a smile if his hand hurt.
But Xiao Chi calmly pressed on, even with a hint of encouragement: "Not going to smash anymore? Really enough?"
Yu Fuli was furious. She glared at him, her amber eyes burning with two small flames.
Smash! Smash! I'll smash all your family's plates! He thought viciously to himself, but he obediently withdrew his paws and even unconsciously stomped on his chest, a small gesture a fox makes when it's annoyed.
Xiao Chi took in his little action, and the smile in his eyes deepened. He didn't say anything more, but simply stood up and said to the servant who was almost petrified beside him, "Clean it up."
"Sit down and keep me company."
The servants dared not say anything, silently and quickly tidied up the dining room, and soon served a new meal.
This time, even Yu Fuli's portion was sent up as well.
"Are you going to eat or not?"
Yu Fuli had just caused a ruckus, and her stomach was growling with hunger. Upon hearing this, she slowly moved back to the table.
Xiao Chi bent down and gently placed the gilded porcelain plate on the edge of the dining table.
Yu Fuli caught a glimpse of his action, and her eyes twitched involuntarily.
The way this is arranged makes it look like they're feeding some small animal.
She's a legitimate fox spirit, not some pet dog.
Yu Fuli pushed the porcelain plate aside with its paw, turning its head to one side as if to say, "I will not tolerate such perfunctory treatment."
However, Xiao Chi seemed to have misunderstood.
"Not hungry?" he asked casually, gesturing with his hand. "Then take it."
Yu Fuli: "!!!"
Who said that! Who gave you permission to decide for me!
Which eye of his saw that he wasn't hungry?!
Seeing that the servant was about to step forward, Yu Fuli became anxious and let out a few angry whimpers. Her tail even unconsciously swept against the table leg.
Seeing that the hand with distinct knuckles was about to take away the porcelain plate, Yu Fuli could no longer maintain her pride.
He suddenly leaned forward and slammed his furry front paws down on Xiao Chi's wrist.
