My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

The little boy stood still and took out a stack of talismans from his pocket.

It must be about as thick as his entire little hand.

"Mother, Father, I've drawn many derivative talismans myself based on the ones you gave me. I've modified each one. Would you like to take a look?"

Baby boys are not as lively and active as baby girls.

He, too, cannot truly transform into a fox; he only has reddish-brown fox ears and a fox tail.

But he rarely shows his ears or tail, and unlike little girls, he doesn't ask for praise or wait to be patted on the head.

In Joey's words, he's like a little adult.

Joey grabbed the stack of talismans.

"My God... I only taught you a freezing spell, and you drew the number of seconds it would freeze someone, some for one second, some for three seconds, and some for humans, some for ghosts, and some for spirits..."

The little boy nodded, putting his hands behind his back.

"Yes, because I've thought about it. To locate a person, you only need a tiny bit of yang energy, while to locate a ghost, you definitely need more yang energy. But to locate a spirit, you need to make more judgments. Some spirits have a lot of yang energy, like Brother Dog God, while some spirits have a lot of yin energy, so you have to use different talismans."

Joey's mouth was slightly open.

Is this something a five-year-old child could say?

Joey covered her mouth.

"You've thought of something I never even considered... Bao'er, you're truly a genius."

The little boy touched his head, "No, it's because Mommy taught me so well~"

He smiled faintly.

Then came the point.

"Then, Mother, can you release my sister?"

He put both his little hands in front of his chest, clenched his fists, stomped his feet, and acted cute and charming.

"Please? Please? I'll take responsibility for teaching my little sister!"

I promise I'll teach my sister! Mommy, Daddy, please?

Qiao Yi and Hua Ran are both completely charmed.

Joey coughed, "Okay~"

The baby boy was immediately taken seriously.

"Yay! Yay! I rescued my sister!"

As soon as he tried to close the door, Joey grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the small house.

"You didn't rescue your sister; you went in with her! No cheating for her until she can draw it all by herself!"

Joey scoffed.

Fight with me?

These are all things I've already done before.

Hua Ran put the dessert tray aside and waved her little fist at Qiao Yi.

"My lady, you're so mean, you even tricked the babies!"

Joey and Hua Ran had already gotten along very well.

So I understand what Hua Ran meant by those words.

She wrapped her arms around Hua Ran's waist and pulled her into her embrace.

“If I don’t mess with them, they’re always causing us trouble. I remember last time, those two little devils put honey in your bathtub, making you all sticky and sticky after the bath.”

Hua Ran nodded, "Yes~ As a result, my wife and I ended up on the bed, kissing and hugging for a long time~ Oh dear, thinking about it now, those two babies are really naughty, making my back ache the next day~"

Joey choked up for a moment.

Why does it seem like that's not what "flower dyeing" means?

She couldn't help but explain again.

"And the time before that, they threw rice cakes into your shoes, making it impossible for you to walk..."

Hua Ran continued to punch Qiao Yide's chest with her small fists.

"So, my wife, you picked me up by the waist... Oh, I still feel so embarrassed thinking about it now~ After all, it was in a teahouse, and everyone was watching."

Joey sighed and rubbed her forehead.

"Ranran, what I'm trying to say is..."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know what you're trying to say~ Basically, you're so naughty, but I love you so much~"

After the two of them had been cuddling for a while, they looked up and saw Inugami across from them.

Inugami grunted in disgust.

He then covered the eyes of the little girl next to him.

"Sister, don't look at them, those two are not respectable."

"Oh... then, Inugami, will you teach me to write?"

"Okay~ Sister is so good. What words are you going to write today?"

"It's the character '意' in '乔中意' (Qiao Zhongyi). It has quite a few strokes, and I can never remember it."

The dog suddenly wanted to bite Joey's family to death.

Why didn't my sister write my name?

The little girl looked up and smiled, "Because it's very simple, I've already learned it~"

Inugami raised an eyebrow.

That's right, Qiao Zhongyi is the name of Qiao Yi's son.

But actually, when the name was chosen, it wasn't taken so seriously.

It's just because Qiao Dawang is listed first, and the middle character is "Da" (meaning "big").

When it comes to the older brother of the twins, it should be "middle".

That's why he's called Qiao Zhongyi.

When it comes to Qiao Xiaojiao, it should be "small".

Hey... large, medium, and small, all complete.

When Qiao Yi gave Lu Qianye the names of the twins to register their household registration, Lu Qianye kept glaring at Qiao Yi.

"This child is like you two picked him up off the street!"

Hua Ran stood in front of Qiao Yi, saying, "Don't talk about my wife! My wife gave me a wonderful name! I love it. She didn't call me Qiao Er or Qiao San. My wife should be praised!"

So, from that time on, Joey's system gave Hua Ran a nickname.

Wife master blows~

As Qiao Yi and Hua Ran watched the dog god leave, Qiao Yi couldn't help but take out her daughter's "ghostly scribbled" talisman paper, which she found rather strange.

"Ranran, have you ever seen such a pattern before?"

The "ghostly scribbles" were painted with a red cinnabar smear, giving them a bloody and visually striking appearance.

It's just... terrifying.

The top part has a skull, and the bottom part has a bunch of strange chunks of flesh.

It also has two wings on its back... and a snake's tail!

"What the hell is this?"

Joey had the system identify it, and the answer was that this thing had nothing to do with the ferocious beasts and strange creatures in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Hua Ran held the talisman and looked at it during evening self-study.

"I have to say, I've recovered almost all my memories. I've lived for thousands of years and I've never seen anything like this before."

"Right? Ranran, you've never seen it either, and neither have I. Qiao Xiaojiao... how did she find out about this? It's strange if she dreamed about it... after all, she's been drawing this thing since she started drawing talismans. I don't believe she could draw it directly just by dreaming."

Hua Ran stroked her chin and said, "My lady, do you mean... Qiao Xiaojiao can look at that thing every day?"

Joey nodded, indicating that it was just a guess.

After all, Qiao Xiaojiao's life wasn't in any danger.

Let's observe and see for now.

"Oh right, Ranran, tomorrow is the start of winter. Starting tonight, there are lots of fun and delicious things to do at the Bianliang market, all night long. Want to go have some fun?"

Hua Ran nodded, a smile on her face.

"Then I need to wear something nice; I can't embarrass my wife when I go out!"

Joey covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You still want to dress up? You're beautiful even without dressing up. If you dress up, people won't be able to leave your side; they'll just stand there and stare at you!"

After saying that, Joey crossed her arms again.

"I'm telling you, I might get jealous!"

Hanazono swayed her large, fluffy tail, clenched her fists in front of her chest like a big fox, and bent her legs slightly.

"My lady, are you jealous? Oh dear, you're the only one in my heart, don't you understand that?"
