The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 498: The Fox’s Tail

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Fox’s Tail

In the CEO’s office, Lin Yingying had not yet arrived for work, and Bai Xiaochun was cleaning inside.

Long Fei felt uncomfortable being alone with her, fearing that Lin Yingying would accuse him of flirting with the secretary upon arriving.

He stood at the door and glanced inside.

The frosted glass door usually made it impossible to see through.

But with Long Fei’s cultivation level and the stir of his Divine Sea, he could clearly see everything inside the room.

Bai Xiaochun was humming a tune while wiping down the tables and chairs.

Her little butt was twisting back and forth, looking very cute.

However, at that moment, Long Fei suddenly frowned deeply, not because he had any inappropriate thoughts about her.

It was because Bai Xiaochun’s black pleated skirt kept flipping up at the back from time to time, as if there was something underneath it.

Long Fei thought he was seeing things, so he stared intently for a long while.

After a while, he indeed spotted something furry behind her.

Damn, it was actually a tail!

Even though Long Fei was used to seeing demons and spirits, his brain still went blank for a moment.

His first thought was, could Bai Xiaochun be a demon? Or was she possessed by one?

The girl was usually harmless and sweet-natured.

During the time Long Fei had known her, he had never seen her do anything that defied heaven and reason.

He held himself back and decided to leave to avoid any awkwardness.

Just as he turned around, Lin Yingying’s voice came from behind, "Long Fei, what are you doing here?"

Surprise flashed across her face, but seeing Long Fei approaching of his own accord, she was quite pleased.

Long Fei, like a thief caught in the act, jumped in fright and waved his hands with a smile, "Good morning! I’m here for work!"

"You’ve got some conscience!"

Lin Yingying gave him a blank look and pushed the door open to enter.

Bai Xiaochun stood inside dumbfounded, nodding to Lin Yingying and Long Fei, with evident tension in her eyes.

Lin Yingying went into her office as she had a case that needed immediate attention.

Long Fei awkwardly greeted Bai Xiaochun and then sat down on the sofa.

Twirling her fingers, Bai Xiaochun frowned and asked him, "Did you come in early just now?"

"Not that early!"

Long Fei chuckled awkwardly to cover up.

Seeing his expression, Bai Xiaochun felt even more uneasy, her mouth anxiously puckering as though a secret of hers had been discovered.

After tidying up, she went out the door and looked back at Long Fei for a while.

Long Fei pretended to be indifferent, sipping tea, but his spiritual power swept over her.

Sure enough, there was a hint of blood Qi emanating from the girl.

This was the Essential Qi of a demon; ghosts are black, demons are blood-colored, and humans are white.

He hadn’t noticed it before, and now he found that a member of the Demon Clan was hidden right in the office.

Moreover, she was a demon at the Transformative Form Realm.

Long Fei organized his thoughts, following what Bald Dog had told him.

Demons first need to awaken their intelligence, then transform their shape, and only then can they cultivate like humans.

This process of awakening intelligence and transforming could take anywhere from a century to a millennium.

Or, they might shorten the process by consuming some rare heavenly materials.

Thinking this through, Bai Xiaochun must be no ordinary demon to be able to assume human form in The Dharma-Ending Age.

After a while, Lin Yingying came out and sat opposite Long Fei, crossing her long white legs.

Long Fei brewed two cups of Blood Spirit Flower Tea and handed her one.

She looked at Long Fei, furrowing her brow, "Why have you suddenly become so well-behaved these past few days, I hardly recognize you?"

"Is there a problem with working hard?"

Long Fei smiled and took a sip of tea, then asked her, "Do you know much about Bai Xiaochun?"

"Oh, so the fox’s tail is showing, huh?"

Lin Yingying eyed him with a sharp gaze, thinking this guy wouldn’t be interested in his secretary, would he?

Damn, eyeing the dish while eating from the pot, not even sparing the secretary, that’s too much.

"A fox’s tail?"

Long Fei was surprised and asked curiously, "You found out?"

He had misunderstood Lin Yingying’s meaning. Lin Yingying was talking about his own fox’s tail, but he had thought she meant Bai Xiaochun.

Seeing his nervous look, Lin Yingying said in dismay, "You bastard, have you really taken a liking to Bai Xiaochun? You came so early just to hit on her, didn’t you?"

She now saw every woman as an enemy, truly treating Long Fei as her treasure and not wanting to share him with anyone.

Long Fei was taken aback, seeming to understand her meaning a bit.

He said with a wry smile, "Can’t you speak nicely? When have I ever hit on her?"

Lin Yingying voiced her suspicion, "Then why are you asking about her business?"

Long Fei coughed dryly, not knowing how to explain.

Without a clear understanding, he couldn’t just say Bai Xiaochun was a demon, could he?

Lin Yingying huffed, "Lost for words, huh?"

Long Fei found an excuse, "Do you know the big star Bai Jie’er?"

"Don’t change the subject, we’re talking about Bai Xiaochun. What does Bai Jie’er have to do with it?"

Lin Yingying gave him a glare.

Long Fei said, "Bai Jie’er is Xiaochun’s older sister!"

"What?"

Lin Yingying widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Are you joking? How is that possible?"

Long Fei said earnestly, "I’m not lying to you, so that’s why I’m asking you about Bai Xiaochun’s background. Think about it, her sister is so capable, she could do anything she wanted. Why would she work at the company serving you?"

"That’s true!"

Lin Yingying also became puzzled and immediately picked up her phone to call Su Qi, asking her to send over Bai Xiaochun’s information.

Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief, successfully diverting Lin Yingying’s attention.

Bai Xiaochun’s bust was big, and she did have the largest size among the girls he knew.

But he never had any romantic thoughts about this girl.

He took a sip of tea and thought carefully.

Bai Xiaochun seemed to have asked him once what he thought of demons.

He had been really foolish, thinking at the time that Bai Xiaochun was just interested in demons. He never once associated her with being one.

A fox’s tail?

Furry, white, it really did seem like a fox’s tail.

Soon after, Su Qi sent over Bai Xiaochun’s information.

Lin Yingying opened it, glanced at it, and handed the phone to Long Fei, furrowing her brows, "Under her family relations column, she wrote ’None’!"

Long Fei looked and saw her address was listed as a white-collar apartment in the city, and the address of her household registration was in Green Hill Village, Suburb County.

He was all too familiar with that village.

Suburb County’s Longjiawan Village, Wang Xiaoya’s Xiushui Village, and Green Hill Village were all located together.

The village was even more remote than Longjiawan Village and bordered on Three Immortals Mountain where Gongsun Sheng practiced his cultivation.

There was a legend of a Granny Fox Immortal from there who had cured sickness and conferred blessings for the locals.

During years of famine, she even distributed food to people, making her quite famous in the area.

The people from all around had even put together funds to build the Fox Immortal Temple, which was destroyed in the fervent years of the Cultural Revolution as a prime example of feudal superstition.

In recent years, it was said that the Fox Immortal Temple had been rebuilt and now formed one area with the Three Immortals Mountain tourism district.

The temple was as bustling with visitors as it had been in its heyday.

Lin Yingying said with furrowed brows, "Should we call Xiaochun over to ask her about it?"

She was worried Bai Xiaochun might have other motives; although a life secretary’s job was just to serve tea and pour water, it did involve access to many of the company’s secrets.

Long Fei shook his head, "Let’s not. It’s her private life, and we shouldn’t interfere. She hasn’t done anything to harm the company. If you suddenly interrogate her, you’ll definitely hurt her feelings. Leave this to me. I’ll talk to her privately. Even if I do bring it up, it won’t harm our good relations."

"Alright! I’ll leave it to you then!"

Lin Yingying nodded in agreement, not expecting Long Fei to be so considerate.

She added a reminder, "Let’s be clear here, you’re going to investigate Bai Xiaochun, not to flirt with her. If you dare do anything with her, we’ll see how I punish you!"

Long Fei chuckled dryly to himself, thinking that his wife was getting stricter and stricter.

They had agreed not to interfere with each other’s freedom, but now she had turned her back on that agreement.
