It’s one thing to scare children, but to even bite its own master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young child, who hadn’t been fully pacified, saw Shu Ci’s bleeding bite and immediately cried even louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s brow furrowed even tighter. Seeing her so unreasonable and obstinate, a faint anger appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afu Tu noticed that his hand was bitten and covered in blood; a coldness flashed deep within his scarlet eyes, but he resisted showing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he took a few small tomato candies from his paper packet, cupping them gently with his soft pink paw pads, and offered them to the child whose nose was bubbling with snot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children are naturally drawn to soft, gentle animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the snow-white, adorable little rabbit, so pure and harmless, engaging him with the little candy, he was immediately intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He momentarily forgot to cry, his big beady eyes looking at it, foolishly accepting the little candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing the two, one was extremely pure and understanding, while the other had a terribly vile temper and refused to learn from mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was stark and unmistakably blatant in quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, expressionless, removed Shu Ci’s canine teeth from his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he fished out a few pieces of silver coin from his pocket and bought three small sugar figures to give to the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman, not being mercenary, seeing her child appeased by the little rabbit with spiritual energy, didn’t make a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She politely refused Baili An’s silver coins and only took the sugar figures before taking her child to the night market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci watched eagerly as Baili An bought three small sugar figures and gave them to another person’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, little knife seemed to carve slightly deep yet shallow in her heart, filling her with an inexplicable sense of grievance and sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand that she was experiencing jealousy over a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her two-tailed form, her mind wasn’t as mature and strong as her young girl form, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prompting Shu Ci to feel an impulse to turn and walk away, never to care for him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could fully decide whether to truly abandon him and leave, Baili An’s grip loosened, letting her fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci’s heart felt empty; she blankly raised her large head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Baili An calmly bandage his bleeding hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Shu Ci felt a bit panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly raised her paw, attempting to clutch Baili An’s pant leg, softly calling out twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Baili An didn’t respond to her; instead, he walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci’s nails freshly cut, her paws could only brush against his fluttering clothes but couldn’t catch them as he walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his receding back, never looking back, Shu Ci stared blankly, momentarily forgetting to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, more than Baili An’s angry words and reprimands telling her to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could brush those off, thick-skinned, and stick to him all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even though he hadn’t spoken harsh words, she felt as though she had truly become a small pet of his, inadvertently hurting its master, only to be heartlessly abandoned in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci’s chest tightened, heavy and poignant, like a bone stuck in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fox ears slowly drooping, fur downcast, her heart felt void and aimless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident, Baili An no longer had the heart to continue playing with Afu Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought that the broad-chested fox only sought pleasure, was somewhat impatient,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but had no ill intentions and was different from other unreasonable demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, on a closer look, her temper was not merely impatient; it was violent, barely tolerating even a small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An wasn’t angry because Shu Ci bit him but because he clearly felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little demon had indeed harbored some intent to harm that small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued to indulge her by keeping her around, her bad habits could hardly be corrected, breeding a spoiled, cold-blooded nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, it was best to leave her alone, let her reflect on her mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding the bustling capital night market, Baili An arrived at a remote and somewhat quiet tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed open the bamboo door, took down one of the seven lanterns hanging under the eaves in front of the tavern courtyard, and headed towards the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping over the threshold, there weren’t many people drinking inside the tavern. Three individuals sat in each of the southeast corners, with a vat of freshly brewed floral fruit wine in front, sitting upright and not drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t look like regular drinking patrons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the tavern’s main hall sat a woman, pouring and drinking on her own. She wore a blue-gray gauze robe, her gestures unconsciously exuding the unique aristocratic air of Shifang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows were gentle and cool, sitting quietly, with a willowy waist and dignified posture, her eyes clear like water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she was in such a small tavern, yet she did not exhibit any trace of mortal presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes glanced far towards Baili An, seemingly with deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An only felt an invisible cold wind blowing towards him, causing the wick of his green lamp to sputter and then extinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light within the tavern was somewhat dim. Baili An stopped, his face, cold, white, and handsome, hidden in the shadows, unclear to see.\u003C\u002Fp>",970,"2026-06-06T15:17:07.391Z",1,"novelbin.me","43b6ed88784ff810252cb891b84357b6e32f4fb09207e1fc8533618a633b3822","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1292","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1291",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
