Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Elder Xuanqing stroked his long beard, smiled nonchalantly, and said heartily, "Ruo'an, you don't need to worry about spirit stones. I don't lack them. Besides, if this demon youth can be properly trained, his strength will definitely be formidable in the future. Buying him back as your bodyguard is a good choice."

Bai Ruoan shook her head and firmly refused, "Uncle, I really don't need a bodyguard. I've always been a loner and am used to taking care of myself."

He seemed to have thought of something, a confident glint in his eyes, and continued, "Besides, I trust Shen Yunxi. If she says my soul is not bad, then it definitely isn't! Rather than relying on others, I'd rather rely on my own strength to become stronger!"

Ultimately, at Bai Ruoan's insistence, Elder Xuanqing gave up bidding, and Elder Songhe, after considering the budget, also gave up continuing to bid.

After all, no matter how sought-after this demon youth is, he is not as important as the thousand-year-old dragon bone.

A surge of intense resentment welled up in Jiang Shuyue's chest. Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang hadn't even helped her bid for that young man!

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

If such a rare dragon could become her soul spirit, what would she have to fear?

She wouldn't even give Shen Yunxi, that summoner, a second thought!

More importantly, if she possessed this dragon spirit, she could completely escape Xiao Chuhuang's shadow, trample her underfoot, and reach a higher position!

hateful!

She thought bitterly that although her status had changed over the years, the Jiang family was still a declining family that had only barely improved in the last two years. She carefully calculated that the Jiang family could not afford to produce that many spirit stones!

The thousand-year-old dragon bone was also extremely important to her…

Jiang Shuyue lowered her eyes, her thoughts swirling. After a moment, she looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and said in a choked voice, "Crown Prince, Your Highness..."

Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang both looked at her. Xiao Chuhuan quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Jiang Shuyue paused, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, "I...I don't want the thousand-year-old dragon bone anymore." She bit her lower lip lightly, tears sliding down her cheeks, "I want that demon boy, is that alright?"

Seeing that Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang did not respond immediately, she took a deep breath, tried to control her emotions, and said in a tearful voice, "My companion soul spirit was ambushed by Shen Yunxi and was seriously injured. It has not yet recovered. Moreover, the assessment of the Star Picking Pavilion is about to begin. I really need a powerful soul beast to fight!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

“Your Highness, this is my only chance to turn things around. In the Jiang family, my parents love their son and don’t like me. In the Shen family, although my godfather and godmother treat me well, the rest of the Shen family looks down on me and thinks I’m marrying above my station. I have no choice but to enter the Star-Picking Pavilion. I don’t want to be looked down upon for the rest of my life. I want to become stronger so that I can stand better by Your Highness’s side in the future.”

Xiao Chuhuan tenderly pulled her into his arms, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her.

Xiao Chuhuang frowned, her heart filled with mixed feelings: she knew that Jiang Shuyue was in a bad situation in both the Jiang and Shen families, so she often invited her to the palace to relax. However, this demon youth was related to her brother's affairs and Jiang Shuyue's cultivation. How should she choose?

Jiang Shuyue's tearful and pitiful appearance touched Xiao Chuhuan's heart, and Xiao Chuhuang could no longer refuse. In the end, the two of them nodded and agreed to her request.
