Chapter 55 (1/2)

They´re useful now

The silver tail he unwittingly observed had suddenly moved in front of him. Xie Tao was a beat slow to respond. He moved his eyes to the ice-cold texture of the tail.

To touch or not to touch….. Xie Tao touched.

Before he even noticed what he was doing, Xie Tao had already put his hand on the silver tail and gently stroked it twice.

The tail under his hand was cold to the touch. This silver scaled covered tail possessed considerable offensive power, the knox tail was a dangerous weapon that the other races feared in battle.

However, the tail was very docile at this moment. When touched by the youth, almost all aggressiveness disappeared and it stayed completely still, only the tip would slightly tilt upwards.

If asked why he touched it, it would be hard for Xie Tao to give a specific reason.

It could only be said that when the silver tail had moved closer to him, clearly expressing “I will let you touch it”, he had unconsciously stretched out his hand.

Having his tail touched, the knox squinted his eyes slightly, his narrowed pale blue-green eyes reflecting the youth’s figure. He quietly watched every movement of the youth.

After stroking two times, Xie Tao came back to his senses and stopped himself.

Ya Yi had put his tail forward because he had thought that the youth wanted to touch it and now that the youth no longer touched, this knox moved the silver tail back behind his body.

“They are bigger than when you’re a cub.”

After a low cough, Xie Tao once again put his eyes on this knox’s horn and said this.

Compared with the two small horns he had in his cub form, the knox’s horns in adult form had grown a lot. The previous two small horns were very small and lovely, while the shape of the horns in adult form could be described as beautiful.

“En.”

Noticing his line of sight and thinking that the youth wanted to take a closer look at the horns on his head, Ya Yi answered and then once again lowered his head a little for the youth.

Seeing the knox take the initiative to lower his head for him, Xie Tao looked at the two beautiful horns on the other’s head. Just now, something in his chest seemed to have been lightly hit again, as if he had been poked.

A very strange feeling.

Xia Tao wanted to ponder on what this feeling was, but the sensation had slipped out of his grasp two times now, he could not catch it.

It was like he was a tilting doll and something had hit his body twice. Even though it had not been enough to knock him over, it had made him rock a few times.

“I thought you had no horns in your adult form.”

After all, he had never before noticed the two horns on the knox’s head while in adult form. As Xie Tao hadn’t seen them, he had assumed that he didn’t have any.

“Useless.”

Ya Yi said this word in a very flat tone. The voice of the other was so low and indifferent that it sounded as if he was not talking about his own body.

Because they were useless, the horns could be hidden in adult form, there was no need for them to show.

However, after saying this, the knox looked at the youth in front of him and added, “They’re useful now.”

The youth wanted to see, so they were useful.

Hearing this, the expression on Xie Tao’s face slightly changed. He could more or less understand what the other wanted to convey and was inevitably somewhat moved.

The knox had thought that he wanted to see them, so he had intentionally made the horns come out. When he had thought that he wanted to touch it, he had also moved his tail closer for him.

It was the simplest and most direct way to express affection, but Xie Tao did not know how to handle it. He felt that this knox’s behavior was very cute, so he simply raised his hand to touch the other’s silver hair.

After stroking the soft silver of this knox, Xie Tao glanced at the thick stack of resumes on the desk and felt that he really had to start working.

He did not pause to say anything, just directly picked up and opened the first resume. Looking down at the youth reading through the file, the knox changed back to his cub form and returned to the youth’s lap.

Snuggling close to his body, the knox with his two small little horns, peacefully rested on his lap, a low purr coming from his throat.

Listening to this low purr, Xie Tao lifted his hand to touch the knox’s back while simultaneously looking over the resume. After doing this, he heard the purr from the knox’s throat become more distinct.

It was not interesting to look at the resumes. However, Xie Tao took this very seriously and read through the thick resumes carefully. Once finished, he could not resist covering his mouth and letting out another yawn.

Having chosen a few people from those who passed the interview and had good resumes, Xie Tao stacked their files together and then rested his head on his arms on the desk, ready to close his eyes for a moment.

Interviewing for most of the day, then reading through a lot of resumes… today had been quite tiring.
