The Psychic Girl

"Zini, are you afraid of insects?"

Yan Zini didn't understand why she asked this and shook his head in confusion.

"I am an alchemist. I often come into contact with it when I am making medicine. Why would I be afraid?"

As he spoke, the dark shadow lying on Yan Zini's bun tied up with a black gold hairpin turned around and lay down in a comfortable position.

Two inky black eyes were staring at Xia Xi.

"That's good. Don't be afraid when I tell you. There is a lizard-like bug lying on your head."

Yan Zini then remembered that Yaya, who had just eaten the poison, had not returned to the bamboo basket he carried with him, and must be playing on him now.

He reached out and let Fang crawl onto the back of his left hand.

"You're talking about it. It's not a bug. It's my pet, Yaya. Look, it's not scary at all."

While explaining, Yan Zini also stretched out his hand to let Xia Xi see Yaya's appearance clearly.

"Ah!

You are not afraid, but I am afraid!! "

Xia Xi, who had originally tried to pretend to be calm, was instantly exposed.

He started running wild in the room.

"I'm warning you, don't come over here!

Don't think that I won't turn against you just because you saved me!

Hello!! Ah!!

I told you not to come over here!!!"

The main pavilion of Yanjiabao.

As soon as the castle lord Yan Xiu walked out of the secret room, he received the news that Yan Tianming was asking for a meeting outside.

Yan Xiu was wearing a dark blue straight robe with a gold spider pattern belt of the same color tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up and fixed with a emerald gilt crown. His slender body was straight. Although he was nearly a hundred years old, there was no sign of aging because of his achievements in spiritual practice.

He is handsome and has an innate nobility.

"Godfather, Zi Ni has agreed to keep her."

Yan Tianming stood aside, humble in his posture.

"Well, you did a good job on this matter. Don't take the punishment from the king yesterday to heart."

Yan Xiu seems to be in a good mood today.

"It's my fault that I didn't do my job well and brought shame to my adoptive father. Although the Xiliang State Master took that man away, he was seriously injured and may not survive."

"It doesn't matter. He's already a cripple anyway. Besides, it's not your fault. Since the Xiliang Imperial Master dared to break into Dongli to rescue people, he must have made all the necessary preparations. A few days ago, a signal unique to the Xiliang Wuxie Sect appeared in the sky near Changqi. It seems that the Xiliang royal family has asked them for help this time."

Yan Xiu continued.

"Isn't the second prince of Xiliang still imprisoned in the palace of Dongli? Counting the years, it has been almost ten years. As long as there is a restraint, Xiliang will be afraid of the joint proposal of the three heads.

We thought their target was the prince, but unexpectedly they went to rescue that person. That’s why we let them succeed. We can’t be careless about guarding the second prince anymore.”

"Yes, godfather, did you get any good news today?"

"How did you find out?"

"The room smells of dragon's birthday incense, which you only light when you are in a good mood."

Yan Xiu relaxed his frown.

"Sometimes, you are more like my son than Zi Ni. I have good news. Do you still remember Mr. Fang? He was traveling abroad before. I sent people to search for him in the five countries, but I couldn't find any trace of him.

But today I received a letter from him, saying that the matter I asked in the past has been resolved, and asked me to wait for good news.

"You mean, there has been a turn for the better in the restoration of Zi Ni's spirit bones?"

Yan Xiu nodded slightly, his joy evident in his words.

"Although this may be another false alarm, we must not give up as long as there is a chance. It is because of me that Zi Ni has suffered this bone-cutting pain since he was a child. Now he can't even act like a normal person.

If my son can really recover this time, I won't ask for anything else in my life. As long as he can safely inherit Yanjiabao, I can no longer worry about anything else and retire. At that time, I can give you what you have always wanted. "

Hearing these words, Yan Tianming couldn't help but look up at him with joy.

"Zini has been kind and innocent since he was young. God will surely bless him! Godfather, you will also get what you wish for!"

After he finished speaking, Yan Tianming did not leave immediately.

"Why, is there anything else?"

Yan Xiu picked up the remaining Dragon Birthday Incense and put it into the box.

"Foster father, Zi Ni seems to like that woman very much. Why don't you just let them get married today? He should be very happy, and his relationship with father-in-law will be eased. She doesn't have to be the only one to reject the prince!"

Yan Tianming hesitated for a moment but still asked. This was a question that had been lingering in his mind. Although it had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help but be curious.

Just curious.

"No need. How can such an ordinary woman be worthy of my son? It's fine to be a toy. When my son recovers, I will find a good match for Zi Ni. Well, there's nothing else to do. You can leave first. I need to rest."

Yan Xiu began to show signs of impatience.

He said nothing more and immediately bowed and left.

What his adoptive father said was what he truly thought, but Yan Tianming vaguely felt that his arrangement also had its own deeper meaning.

As if knowing that Xia Xi was very afraid of it, Yaya rarely left its owner's side and jumped back and forth between the walls, tables, chairs, and shelves in the house, almost making Xia Xi collapse.

This was a chaos that Yan Zini had never expected and had never encountered before, and it made him lose his composure for a moment.

The situation got out of control...

He didn't know how many laps he had run in the room, until Yaya was forcibly caught back into the bamboo basket by Yan Zini, and Xia Xi finally fell down in front of him exhausted with relief.

"Finally I stopped. I can't take it anymore. I'm dying of exhaustion..."

Kneeling beside the mahogany wheelchair, Xia Xi rested his right arm on the wheelchair's horizontal armrest, panting.

"You mean, I have to stay here for a while? And you are the young master of this castle?"

While Xia Xi and Yaya were chasing, Yan Zini, who was at a loss, recounted the current situation in one breath, although he didn't know how to start.

Fortunately, she did hear it and roughly understood it, but she misinterpreted the meaning.

"I was forced to be your subordinate. Am I going to be your subordinate? Your family should be quite rich, and you should not be short of maids and followers. I see! Are you afraid that I will run away and ruin your good deeds, so you want you to keep an eye on me?"

Xia Xi gave a sly smile, as if he knew everything.

"You, laughed?"

Yan Zini didn't expect that she could still be so optimistic under such circumstances.

"Of course I should laugh. I originally thought I would have to face that bastard Yan Tianming. If I were to hang out with you, I could stay for a few days. After all, I still owe you so many favors. If I left, you would definitely be troubled. Your father and that bastard might even punish you."
