Chapter 276 - 247: Likes That White-Haired Fox
Chapter 276: Chapter 247: Likes That White-Haired Fox
But now, the owner of this terminal was dead. He was the brother of Cook, the puppy she considered family, and she couldn’t quite describe how she felt.
After staring at the background image for a moment, Gu Ning silently closed the Kaper Terminal and opened her own.
The signal in Zone 15 was excellent, and she logged into PawPress almost instantly.
The moment she logged in, her homepage featured a video that showed her on-screen with Idelos.
The video’s cover image was a still taken from the ’Best of the Fox Clan Female’ video clips she had sent to Deviant. The background was the luxurious set Barto had arranged for her at her residence in Zone 19. She was sitting on the sofa, wearing a mask, with her eyes cast down.
But Idelos had been added to this shot, which was supposed to feature only her.
The famous Fox Clan star was kneeling on one knee before her, his beautiful, long silver hair cascading down his back. A few small braids were woven into the hair at the side of his face, a simple yet elegant style.
Gu Ning was stunned by his beauty over and over again.
The Beastmen in this world generally looked quite different from humans. Their features were sharp and somewhat rugged, and coupled with their short tempers, they always looked fierce.
Idelos, however, was exquisitely refined... in a noble way that perfectly suited Gu Ning’s aesthetic sensibilities.
That refinement perfectly neutralized the inherent ferocity in a Beastman’s features, making him seem very approachable.
In the cover image, Idelos was posed as if reaching for her hand, his head bowed to kiss it.
The image was edited so flawlessly that if Gu Ning hadn’t shot the original video herself, she would have actually believed Idelos had been there with her for the shoot.
But that was just the video’s cover image.
Gu Ning clicked the cover image and played the ten-second video.
Idelos didn’t actually appear on-screen with her in the video. Instead, a clip he had recorded separately was edited together with her own footage. The transitions were silky-smooth and professional. Paired with some flashy special effects and upbeat, playful music, it looked like a trailer for a sweet romantic drama.
After watching the video, Gu Ning felt her scalp tingle and her face begin to burn.
What kind of Divine Beast edited this!
Gu Ning’s toes curled with secondhand embarrassment, but she was still captivated by Idelos’s handsome face.
Idelos was even more handsome in motion.
"Why are you blushing?"
Barto suddenly said, leaning close to her face.
Startled, Gu Ning instinctively covered her terminal. "It’s nothing."
Barto glanced at the video playing on the virtual screen floating above her hand. He didn’t say anything, just let out a soft snort and went back to haggling with Deviant.
’He’d long ago noticed this little female liked that white-haired fox. She was always watching his movies and shows, and her eyes would light up every time he appeared.’
’What was so great about that guy, anyway?’
’Is it just his face she likes?’
At the thought, Barto touched his own face. ’Since she likes that type of face, the kind Idelos has...’
The rough texture of his skin made him pause, a flicker of self-loathing in his eyes.
’The beast marks had grown back. He’d have to shave them off.’
Remembering the look on Gu Ning’s face when she saw Idelos, his disgust for his own imperfect human form grew stronger. He instinctively turned his back to Gu Ning, not wanting her to compare him to that white-haired fox.
When Barto didn’t reply for a long time, Deviant, on the other end of the call, prompted him, "Mr. Gu Li? If you think this proposal is acceptable..."
Barto: "It’s garbage! All of it is garbage!"
Deviant: "..."
’This guy is impossible to communicate with.’
Barto took a deep breath. Catching Gu Ning’s scent only made him more agitated. He forcefully suppressed the frustration simmering in his chest and headed for the bathroom.
Gu Ning glanced at the closed bathroom door, then opened the video’s comment section.
As she expected, the comments had blown up.
A quick scroll revealed that most people were flaming her and Idelos.
