Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 178: The Powerful Minister’s Painted Demon White Moonlight (26)

The daily routine of the three of them is that Yuebai throws pearls, Qi Ji picks them up, and Xiao Fuci watches from the side while handling official business.

Time seemed to have gone back to many years ago, when they were still in Ji's Mansion, but Yuebai didn't remember it. Xiao Fuci had already invited people from Ji's family and they were on their way. It was estimated that they would arrive in the next two days. Maybe Yuebai would remember it by then.

Sure enough, when I was thinking about this matter, I heard someone come to report that someone from the Ji family had come. Since that incident, the Ji family has never taken the initiative to contact the Xiao family or Xiao Fuci again. This time, the person who came was the head of the Ji family himself.

The housekeeper who brought in Master Ji and Madam Ji stood behind Xiao Fuci again.

"Hello, father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xiao Fuci bowed. The head of the Ji family walked straight past him without paying any attention. However, Madam Ji looked at him with some pity.

Xiao Fuci didn't care and followed them in. After the three of them sat down on both sides, they had tea served. However, Patriarch Ji didn't even glance at them and said directly, "You said my Yuebai is back?"

"Yes, there were just some problems, so I asked my father-in-law to come and take a look." Xiao Fuci signaled the people around him to take out the brocade box.

The box was opened in front of the head of the Ji family. As soon as it was opened, the head of the Ji family noticed something was wrong. There was no breath of the sacred tree. Madam Ji and the head of the Ji family looked at each other and noticed panic in each other's eyes.

Madam Ji opened the scroll and found that it was an extremely ordinary piece of wood, which had no way of gathering souls. However, the seal they had printed on it still retained the Ji family's magical power, which proved that only Yuebai could be in this painting.

When the scroll was fully opened, the head of the Ji family discovered that the picture of the beauty they had originally painted for their daughter had a dot of cinnabar on the center of the beauty's eyebrows, and the cinnabar looked like blood.

Using the Ji family's unique magic, he sensed that there was indeed a painted monster inside. Yuebai also felt that the head of the Ji family and Madam Ji were outside at the moment. A white mist flashed, and then they appeared in front of them.

"You are?"

The person in front of them did not look like their daughter, but the bond between their souls could be sensed by the three of them at the same time.

Patriarch Ji and Madam Ji didn't know how to react for a moment. Yue Bai stepped forward, took Madam Ji's hand and said, "This person always makes me feel familiar. Have we met before?"

Feeling the hand holding hers and the body temperature that was not on her, Madam Ji suddenly felt that after all the twists and turns, the ending would be the same.

If they had not prepared a human body for Yuebai, perhaps Yuebai would have grown up as a painting demon, just like them, without a heart, without body temperature, but alive.

The moment Yuebai met Madam Ji, she knew that the sacred tree had been taken away, and Yuebai's soul could only be gathered in the painting, but only a part of it was incomplete, and the one in front of her was only a part of it.

Madam Ji looked at Patriarch Ji. Patriarch Ji, who had been married for many years, understood that Madam Ji had something to say, so he said to Yue Bai, "Miss, my wife and I have something to discuss, so I'll leave first."

As for Xiao Fuci, they naturally didn't want to pay attention to him. Seeing them coming and leaving, Yue Bai turned to look at Xiao Fuci. Xiao Fuci had some guesses about the reaction of the Ji couple.

Cinnabar may really have something to do with Yuebai.

The Ji couple had not originally planned to stay overnight at the Xiao Mansion, but when they saw Yuebai, they wanted to stay more with their daughter, so they did not refuse the housekeeper who took them to the guest house.

The housekeeper reported to Xiao Fuci the news that the Ji family had been arranged to stay in the inpatient hospital, and Xiao Fuci became more certain of his guess.

Yuebai asked curiously, "Who is that? Why do I feel so close to him?"

Xiao Fuci didn't dare to tell her directly before verifying his guess, so he just said, "Maybe he is an old friend like me."

Yue Bai yawned delicately and was about to return to the painting, but was stopped by Xiao Fuci who said to her, "You should be able to sense that they are also painting monsters. Don't you want to go to Huai'an?"

"Why should I go to Huai'an?" Yuebai asked in confusion.

This made Xiao Fuci stumped. Yes, why? She didn't know that Huai'an was her home.

Seeing Xiao Fuci in a daze, Yuebai said seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, I wanted to go with you from the first time I saw you."

Yuebai looked at the affection in Xiao Fuci's eyes, which was so nakedly revealed, and Xiao Fuci suddenly didn't dare to look into her eyes.

Although Xiao Fuci liked Yuebai, his feelings for Yuebai were mixed with too many calculations. No one can have both, so he lost everything.

After seeing Yuebai, the Ji couple began to feel uneasy. They originally thought that Yuebai might have gone out to relax. After all, with the nourishment of the sacred tree, Yuebai would be extremely powerful after transforming into a demon.

But now it is still the same painting, but the sacred tree is gone. The painting monster that appeared is bound to them but is incomplete. This can only mean that the soul of the sacred tomb was sucked away before it was completely gathered, and the person who sucked away the sacred tree is most likely a member of the Xiao family?

"I originally thought they were only eyeing our power, but I didn't expect they had such evil ambitions to occupy the sacred tree." The head of the Ji family slammed the table and said angrily, "I wanted my daughter to live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect that the innocent man would be guilty of possessing the treasure. Since this is the case, I must make them pay the price."

Madam Ji wiped her tears and said, "What should we do now? Yuebai's soul is incomplete and her memory is flawed, but she still seems to have feelings for that boy."

"But the painted monster has no heart. How can it be emotionally moved by humans without a heart?" said the head of the Ji family coldly.

Madam Ji was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of loneliness was quickly hidden away. Monsters are heartless, but Yuebai was once a flesh-and-blood person.

Patriarch Ji added, "In Beijing, we can only get the sacred tree to gather souls for Yue Bai again. Didn't Xiao Fuci break off relations with the Xiao family? We can let him take the lead and force the Xiao family to give it to us."

While the head of the Ji family was thinking about it, Madam Ji said, "It is important to gather souls for Yuebai, but after a person dies, his soul will go to the place he once missed the most, so we also have to find the souls in their old places and bring them back."

"That makes sense." The head of the Ji family obviously thought of this, "In this case, we should act quickly."

"We need to tell Xiao Fuci about this. After all, Yuebai is missing his soul but still can't forget him. He must be one of his obsessions. He may have a lost soul in him." Madam Ji said.

Patriarch Ji nodded, thinking it made some sense, and then called the servants waiting outside and ordered: "Go and call Prime Minister Xiao, and tell him that we have something to discuss."

The servants had received instructions early on. The lady's parents lived here, so they immediately went to reply when they heard the instructions.
