Chapter 35 part2 (2/2)

He didn’t know why, but several times before when he was touching the Knox cub’s tail, he had noticed that Zarad seemed to have a subtle look on his face.

It was just touching the tail, he did not feel like there was anything wrong with it…

Because of this, he had thought that it was just his own imagination and quickly abandoned the idea. After touching the back of the cub, Xie Tao carefully observed the cub and once again traced the fluffy tail.

The purring from the Knox’s throat became loader when the tail was touched, which clearly showed that the cub was happy and liked it.

Having confirmed that the Knox wanted to have his tail touched, Xie Tao felt relieved and continued playing with the soft tail.

Normally, the Knox cub mostly sat on his shoulder or in his arms. But when Xie Tao was busy working, the cub would quickly sit on the side, watching him.

While touching the tail, Xie Tao was a little absent minded. Not recalling that there was a flight of stairs behind him, he took a step back and noticed all too late that there was nothing but air.

“——”

Subconsciously tightening his hold on the cub in his arms, Xie Tao got ready to fall. There was absolutely no time to respond, no way to stop his own fall.

But almost at the same time, Xie Tao found that his arms were empty.

The Knox cub was gone.

In the next second, Xie Tao suddenly felt something firmly encircling his waist, stopping his fall backward. He looked up and met a pair of cold light blue eyes with sharp pupils.

What was wrapped around his waist was…

The adult Knox’s silver tail.
