"What?"
Zhuge Yun smiled. "Are you buying A Jiu some food?"
"Then I should tell you that A Jiu isn't an ordinary fox."
"It doesn't eat pet food."
When he first discovered this, he and Zhang Bo, Zhao Luzheng, and the others had been a little surprised. But there were so many things about Xiao Xiao that surprised them.
A Jiu was obviously unusual, too.
Being unusually beautiful was a kind of unusual.
What's more, A Jiu was unusually clever.
They'd readily accepted that A Jiu didn't eat the food sold in pet shops.
They'd even found it somewhat to be expected.
Well...
A Jiu just didn't seem like an ordinary fox.
It didn't look like the sort of fox that would eat ordinary fox food.
"What does it eat, then?"
Li Yan blurted out.
"A Jiu lives on wind and dew."
Zhuge Yun said it with a straight face.
Li Yan: ...
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"What?"
Zhuge Yun looked confused. "I don't think you're an idiot."
"Do you think you're an idiot?"
Doubt appeared on Li Yan's face.
"How could A Jiu possibly live on wind and dew?"
"Why couldn't it?"
Zhuge Yun retorted.
"Just look at how A Jiu seems untouched by the mundane world..."
Li Yan looked at A Jiu.
Its snowy white fur was spotlessly clean.
The idea of living on wind and dew... suddenly didn't seem quite so unbelievable.
"...Really?"
Li Yan asked Zhuge Yun for confirmation.
Did A Jiu really live on wind and dew?
He could understand drinking dew.
But wind...
Could it really be filling?
A few seconds later, Zhuge Yun couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
"You really believed me?"
"Zhu-ge-Yun!"
Li Yan quickly caught on.
