Chapter 279 - Where Is Your Shock? (2/2)

”How can you see her?”

Mia swiftly jumped to the floor.

”I am not blind,'' Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow only to squint a moment later, ”Did it just talk?!''

A few minutes later in the living room.

”You mean to say that she is that little girl?” Jun Zixuan glanced at Yu Mei.

''Well...Mia...''

Mia jumped off the couch before transforming to her real form, ”Hey there,” She waved at Jun Zixuan before taking a seat beside Yu Mei.

Jun Zixuan's frown went deeper as he glanced at her long striking silver-colored hair, it was the same as he remembered the child had. And the fox that suddenly transformed into a woman...

”Go on,” Mia nodded at Yu Mei, permitting her to tell him about it. Initially, she did not trust any human other than Yu Mei. But over time, staying inside her body, she got to know Jun Zixuan as well. She trusted this man as much as she trusted Yu Mei.

Yu Mei inhaled a deep breath before delving into the details about her relationship with Mia and their blood contract. She told him about Mia's history too about how in one of her previous lives, the ancestors of the Han Family had cursed the immortal nine-tailed fox leading to her ultimate demise while her baby, Mia was was cursed to stay in the Han Family for eternity under a spell which broke when Yu Mei contracted Mia. She also informed him that she had absorbed one of Mia's nine lives which is why she was still living.

''...At that time, her powers were sealed which is why she had that appearance. She is 26 years old,'' Mia was 263 years old based on her fox age but their 10 years were equal to 1 human year so on that basis, she is 26, ”...And this is her last life after I absorbed one of her lives,'' No matter what, she felt guilty about it.

Mia's 6 lives were spent in a cage under that spell and her 7th life was all wasted while being contracted to her as she stayed inside her body all the time, then she absorbed the powers from her 8th tail while dying, snatching her 8th life.

And now, she had only one life left with her.

But at least, that should be equal to thousands of fox years which meant Mia will live for hundreds of human years. Yu Mei consoled herself with that.

She leaned back on the couch, letting out an exhausted sigh as she glanced at Jun Zixuan's blank face, ''Where is your shock, man?!” She sprang up.

He raised an eyebrow.

''Don't give me that look,” She speechlessly glanced at him, ”Even I was shocked when she appeared in front of me out of thin air for the first time, why are you not shocked at all? What's with that nonchalant look?” She only witnessed a bit of shock on his face when she told him that she was Han Mei and after that, no matter what she told him, his expressions were like 'Oh?.... Is it?... Well...Okay... Mmm..'

”What do you want me to do then?”

”At least, pretend a little. Like you are shocked silly by my revelations-''

''Oh, he is not as childish as you,'' Mia interrupted nonchalantly as she played with her long silver hair. She glanced at Yu Mei, ''Mmm, you look beautiful today,” She winked.

Mia had to admit that during her first life, if Yu Mei was there, then she would have been hailed as a rare beauty after her mother. ”You both had some plans today?”
