Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

"Sister, what are we doing here?"

Qin Hao couldn't sit still for more than a minute.

He opened his eyes, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to the snacks.

Xiao Jiujiu said earnestly, "I've already mentioned cultivation. You have extraordinary bones; if you cultivate diligently, you will surely achieve great things in the future!"

"Really, sister?" Qin Hao looked at Xiao Jiujiu expectantly.

Xiao Jiujiu calmly replied, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

"Then I'll try again."

Qin Hao closed his eyes, and although he couldn't sit still, he tried his best to endure it.

"Calm down..."

After Xiao Jiu Jiu said two words, Qin Hao fell silent.

"Wang~"

After an unknown amount of time, a clear, crisp bark rang out.

Then, his warm, wet tongue licked her face.

"Go aside!"

Little Jiu Jiu opened her eyes angrily and pushed away the fluffy head in front of her with her little hands.

A hissing sound came from behind, and the dog grinned and stuck out its tongue wildly.

It is a very cute little golden retriever.

"Why are you licking my face? Where did this puppy come from!" Xiao Jiu Jiu wiped the drool off her face and pushed the dog away a little.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Play with me! Play with me!

The little golden retriever responded enthusiastically to Xiao Jiu Jiu's shoving, thinking she was just playing with him.

Its tail wagged like a windmill, spinning wildly, and its wet nose rubbed against Xiao Jiu's body.

Dead dog

Coal Ball cursed and moved a little further away.

Just now, when the little golden retriever was enthusiastically charging at me, I accidentally stepped on its foot.

Qin Hao, who was next to him, opened his eyes.

Their eyes lit up when they saw the golden retriever puppy: "Wow, what an adorable little dog, so fluffy!"

He reached out and stroked the golden retriever with a hint of envy.

"Wang~"

Play with me

The little golden retriever made Xiao Jiu Jiu giggle.

She dodged the golden retriever's tongue and deftly turned the dog around to its back.

Picking up a twig at random, Xiao Jiu Jiu tossed it forward: "Go."

The branch flew out, and the little golden retriever rushed over to it.

"Wang!"

[Keep playing]

The little golden retriever picked up the branch, tossed it next to Xiao Jiu Jiu, and then grinned broadly.

After playing with the golden retriever for a while, Qin Hao, who was watching from the side, got excited and said, "Sister, I want to play too."

"Here, here you go."

He tossed the slightly damp branch in his hand to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao happily played with the dog.

Watching from the side, Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't help but ask, "You seem to really like dogs, so why don't you have one at home?"

"Grandma said dog hair will affect me, make it hard for me to breathe, and affect my intelligence, so she won't let me keep one," Qin Hao said, sounding a little aggrieved.

Xiao Jiujiu: "Your IQ isn't that great even if you don't own a dog."

Qin Hao:......

No need!

"Wang!"

The little golden retriever played with Qin Hao for a while, then lay down next to the coal ball, panting heavily.

Why aren't you playing with me?

"Get away, you dead dog, you're all drooling!" Coal Ball disgustedly pushed away the golden retriever's head that was leaning in, stood up, and prepared to run away.

The puppy was bigger than the cat, and the golden retriever plopped right on top of Coal Ball, shouting, "Play with me! Play with me!"

At that time, his intelligence was that of a child, and all he cared about was playing.

Coal Ball was incredibly annoyed: "If you weren't a child, I'd beat you up!"

"Play with me!" The little golden retriever looked at the coal ball with its big, wet eyes, looking especially silly and cute.

Qin Hao got a cup, poured clean water into it, placed it in front of the little golden retriever, and patted its head: "Drink some water."

"What a good person!" the little golden retriever barked at Qin Hao, then happily lowered its head to drink water.

Little Jiu Jiu rescued the coal briquette and asked the little golden retriever, "What's your name?"

"Wang!"

【hot pot】

"Hmm?" Little Jiu Jiu tilted her head to look at the little golden retriever.

The latter gave a silly, cute smile and looked at Xiao Jiujiu.

The coal ball rolled its eyes: [It says it's called hotpot, the kind of hotpot you like to eat.]

Coal Ball smoothed out his fur, which had been messed up by the little golden retriever, and looked at the little golden retriever with some disdain.

"It's called hot pot."

When Qin Hao heard Xiao Jiujiu's question, he remembered the dog tag he had just seen, so he quickly held up the hot pot and showed the tag to Xiao Jiujiu.

"Hot Pot?"

"Wang!"

"This name is great, it sounds delicious!" Xiao Jiu Jiu smacked her lips, her mind already racing with thoughts of how to reward herself with a hot pot meal.

Reaching out to stroke the little golden retriever's fluffy head, Xiao Jiujiu praised, "You're very handsome!"

"Wang!"

Of course!

The two people, the dog, and the cat sat and played on the lawn outside.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just then, a soft cough came from not far away.

Xiao Jiu Jiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin figure standing outside the fence of the Qin family's courtyard.

That's another family's courtyard over there.

"Who is this?" Xiao Jiu Jiu murmured softly.

Qin Hao patted the little golden retriever, looked up, and said in confusion, "I don't recognize it. I've never seen it before."

Xiao Jiu Jiu sized him up.

The boy looked about the same age as her, around eight or nine years old.

His face was extremely pale, and even in such a hot day he was wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The boy coughed violently and quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looking very pained.

"Meow~"

This person isn't in good health; he's sickly and seems to carry a hint of ghostly energy.

Coal Ball glanced at it and made a conclusion immediately.

"Wang!"

【Master, Master!】

The little golden retriever on the ground excitedly got up and rushed towards the little boy.

"stop!"

Xiao Jiujiu brought it under control in time.

Xiao Jiujiu tossed the golden retriever to Qin Hao and instructed, "Don't let it run around, understand?"

If they pounced on it, tsk tsk.

"Got it." Seeing this, Qin Hao shoveled the coal briquettes over.

After getting up, Xiao Jiu Jiu went straight to the sick boy's side.

"Hello~"

Little Jiu Jiu tilted her head and looked him up and down with a smile: "Big brother, what are you doing here? You don't look like you're feeling well."

Pointing to the little golden retriever, the boy said weakly, "This is my dog."

"Is hotpot your dog?" Xiao Jiujiu looked at the hotpot, then at the frail-looking boy.

This boy could easily fall to the ground if a puppy pounces on him.

The person looks very thin.

Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out to grab the boy's wrist: "Big brother, come in and sit down."

This young man is very handsome.

Although he doesn't look very healthy, he has a beautiful face!

Xiao Jiu Jiu is definitely a sucker for good looks.

"do not want!"

The boy seemed startled and quickly took a step back, clutching his handkerchief tightly, a hint of wariness in his eyes: "I'm fine, no, you don't need to go in."

"Oh dear." A hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes.

Such a handsome guy doesn't want to play with me.

"Little brother, your complexion is terrible, as pale as ice cream." Xiao Jiu Jiu pointed at his face and said seriously.

The boy forced a smile: "It's okay, just give me back my dog."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

He can't say much in one breath; he coughs after just a couple of words.

The boy covered his mouth with a handkerchief, took two steps back, and blushed slightly on his pale face: "I'm sorry."

He swayed unsteadily, as if he could collapse at any moment.

Like Lin Daiyu.

"It's okay, are you sure you don't want to come in and sit for a while?" Xiao Jiujiu looked at her seat.

We can ask the housekeeper to bring out another chair.

This enthusiastic manner seemed to make the boy extremely uncomfortable: "No, no need, I can do it myself."

"OK then."

Xiao Jiu Jiu went back and picked up the hot pot.

"Sister, isn't he coming in to play?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

He wanted to play with the dog a little longer.

Shrugging, Xiao Jiujiu said, "He's taking the hot pot back with him."

"OK then."

Qin Hao pursed his lips and sat back down.

Xiao Jiu Jiu reminded her, "If you want to eat, you need to wash your hands. Your hands are already very dirty."

"I'll go now." Qin Hao didn't want to see the hot pot leave, so he got up and hurriedly went to the kitchen to wash his hands.

"Meow~"

I'll go with you.

Coal Ball got up and followed behind Little Nine-Nine.

"Woof! Hah~"

The hotpot made a sound, breathing out steam, and the whole dog snuggled up to Xiao Jiu Jiu.

"go away."

Xiao Jiu Jiu is holding the hot pot in one hand and pressing down on its head with the other.

[I love sticking them on!]

Hotpot looked at Xiao Jiujiu with moist eyes, as if there were stars in them.

"Come visit more often if you like." Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out and patted the dog's head on the hotpot.

"Okay!" Hotpot agreed, dumbfounded.

Upon reaching the door, Xiao Jiu Jiu held out her hand and raised the hot pot: "Here you go."

"Wang!"

Hey, sickly one, I'm back!

Catch me!

The hot pot smiled warmly at the boy.

"Does it not like me?" The boy didn't reach out to take the hot pot, looking at it with a hurt in his eyes.

He felt that the hotpot yelling at him was a sign that it didn't like him.

Little Nine-Nine: ?

"It doesn't dislike you, it likes you very much." Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu could only offer a few words of explanation for the hotpot.

The boy tilted his head to look at the hot pot: "Does it really like me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Jiu Jiu's arms were tired from holding it up, so she went straight forward and stuffed the hot pot into the boy's arms.

[Hey, did you miss me?] The hotpot kept jumping onto the boy, affectionately sticking to him.

You also have to stick out your tongue and lick him.

The boy dodged slightly, then pressed down on the restless hot pot: "Hot pot, I'll take you home."

Okay, okay!

"Why is it called hot pot?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously.

The boy smiled slightly: "I want to eat hot pot, but my body won't allow it, so I just call it hot pot."

"Haha, why can't I eat hot pot or spicy food? I can still eat clear broth!" Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head in confusion.

"nothing."

The boy struggled to hold the hot pot and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, because the hotpot was so active, he couldn't hold on to it and let go.

The hot pot landed smoothly, but the boy fell backward due to inertia.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly ran over and stretched out her two little hands to stop the boy: "Are you alright? You almost fell. Did the hotpot hurt you?"

The boy struggled to adjust his posture and stood still: "I'm fine."

"Let me help you back; you don't look well."

Xiao Jiu Jiu reached out and supported his arm, muttering, "I advise you to find a doctor right away~"

The boy's body heat was transmitted to his hands through his thin long-sleeved shirt.

A little cold.

Xiao Jiu Jiu's hands were like a furnace, burning the boy so much that he shuddered.

"You, let go of her hand." The boy pinched Xiao Jiu Jiu's wrist and moved her hand away.

Little Nine-Nine: ...

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!"

Xiao Jiujiu turned and left.

Suddenly, the boy's vision went black, and his body went limp as he collapsed.

"Oh!"

"Wang!"

[Sickly child, what's wrong? Get up!]

Coal Ball had followed us and squatted down not far away.

Seeing the boy faint, she quickly reminded Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, he fainted."

"Hey!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu was completely dumbfounded.

Why did this person suddenly faint?

"Wang!"

"Help him!" Hotpot cried out anxiously.

Xiao Jiu Jiu squatted down and quickly hugged the boy, intending to help him sit up.

"Ouch!"

As a result, she was almost knocked down by the boy because she wasn't strong enough.

"Shut up, hotpot guy, come help!"

Since there was no one else around, Xiao Jiujiu just shouted.

Hotpot paused for a moment, then immediately ran over, supporting the boy from behind with its body, and together with Xiao Jiu, they lifted him up.

After dragging him around, Xiao Jiujiu pulled the boy to a shady corner by the wall: "Phew, I'm exhausted."

"Coal Ball, go and call Uncle Butler out," Little Nine-Nine instructed.

The coal ball stood up and flashed past.

Soon, the butler rushed out.

"Miss, Ninth Miss, are you alright?" The butler rushed over, sweat beading on his forehead.

The cat just pulled his pants out, and it has already bitten two holes in the cuffs.

"Uncle Butler!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu heard footsteps and shouted loudly.

The butler rushed outside and saw the boy with pale lips. He was so anxious that bubbles came out of his mouth: "What happened, Miss Jiu? Who is this?"

"I don't know him, he might be the guy across from us. He's fainted, let's call a doctor quickly."

Xiao Jiu Jiu looked anxious.

The butler picked up the boy and carried him into the house, saying to the waiting maid as they went, "Find someone to inform the people in the next room. You, go and contact the doctor right away."

"Yes."

The family doctor arrived shortly afterward.

He gave the boy a quick check-up and took his temperature with a thermometer: "Why is this child's body so cold?"

"I don't know, we found it at the door." The butler shook his head.

Xiao Jiujiu sat in her seat, "I don't know what's going on."

He has the appearance of an emperor, and a rather heavy aura of yin energy surrounds him; there should be... hard to say, around him.

The coal ball seemed to know something, but it only said half of what it meant.

Little Nine frowned at the coal ball, pinched its chubby face, and whispered, "Say it!"

[Not to mention] Coal Ball flicked its tail, seemingly in a good mood.

"It's really weird."

The doctor frowned and said, "This boy has a high fever, and the high fever caused him to faint. His body is also very cold. I'll give him an injection first. Get two blankets to cover him up."

"it is good."

The housekeeper immediately instructed the maid to do it.

The doctor gave him some more instructions before saying, "I'll keep him here until his fever breaks."

If the fever doesn't break soon, we'll have to go to the hospital.

"it is good."

The butler nodded.

Just then, the maid who had gone next door returned.

"Butler, no one is next door." The maid shook her head at the butler.

The butler nodded: "Okay, I understand. You may leave now."

"it is good."

"Miss Jiu, go wash up and change your clothes. I'll stay here and watch over you." The butler smiled at Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu stood up: "Okay, I'm going to take a shower first."

After Xiao Jiujiu left, the housekeeper called Qin Yuyang to report the matter...
