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

"Brother Lu Li!"

As soon as Xiao Jiu Jiu entered, she saw Lu Li half-lying on the sofa with his feet in the foot bath tub, wrapped in a thick blanket, his face flushed.

It was so hot it was practically smoking.

"What is this?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at the man, noticing that Lu Li seemed unable to speak.

The man replied, "Young Master had a fever today and also had a lot of cold in his body. The family doctor told him to sweat it out to detoxify."

"Oh……"

Xiao Jiu Jiu clenched her fingers.

Exposed.

"Young Master is not available to answer your question right now. If Miss Jiu is willing, you can wait a bit." The man gave a perfect smile.

Xiao Jiujiu glanced at the man, then looked at Lu Li across from her, and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait here for Brother Lu Li to finish."

"Meow~"

【It's useless, do it this way】

The sound of coal briquettes coming from the air.

The maid walked over carrying a lump of coal.

The man had a stern face.

He had just seen the coal ball being caught on his phone's security camera, but for some reason, he felt something was off about the black cat.

"Thank you sister~"

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly ran over and brought the coal ball back.

The maid bowed her head and said, "Miss Jiu, there's no need to be so polite."

"Get down," the man said coldly.

The maid quickly slipped away.

"What's your name?" Xiao Jiu Jiu sat in her seat, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at the man with a smile.

The man said coldly, "I have no name."

"Ok?"

Xiao Jiujiu glanced at his face and frowned.

The coal ball next to him spoke first: "This person's parents' palaces are both dim, which means that his parents have died."

Judging from his facial features, he also has a twin brother still alive, but their relationship is distant.

"Is your cat hungry?" The man glanced at Coal Ball, his eyes sharp.

Coal Ball: [His eyes are quite unkind.]

Xiao Jiu Jiu gave an awkward laugh: "My cat isn't hungry, it just likes to meow."

Xiao Jiu Jiu tightened her grip on the coal ball in her arms and looked at the man warily.

The man's voice remained flat: "In that case, it must be in heat. Just castrate it."

Coal lumps directly causing pupil earthquakes: Is this even human language?

Xiao Jiu Jiu almost fell off the stool: "Hahaha, no need, no need..."

Seeing that Coal Ball's aura had changed, as if he were about to kill someone at any moment, she quickly changed the subject: "So, do you have a code name? What should I call you? I can't just call you 'Hey,' can I?"

“My name is Lu Yi,” Lu Yi replied coldly.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Okay, Lu Yi~"

That was the end of their conversation.

Bored, Xiao Jiu's eyes darted around, then she asked, "Where's the hot pot? Why isn't it here?"

"The hot pot was too noisy, so we've already locked it inside," Lu Yi replied coldly, his face still expressionless.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled at him: "Then can you bring out the hot pot and play with me?"

"Now?"

"Ah."

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded, revealing a sweet smile: "Brother Lu Li, I wonder how long it will take? I want to play with the hotpot for a while, is that okay?"

"Row."

Lu Yi gave the maid next to him a wink.

The latter went into the hot pot room.

"Wang~"

【little things!】

The enthusiastic sizzling of hot pot wafted over.

Xiao Jiujiu looked over there.

A fluffy golden retriever came running towards him.

"hot pot!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu laughed and called out.

"Wang!"

Are you playing with me?

Hotpot was overjoyed to see Little Jiu Jiu and excitedly wagged its tail as it pounced on her, eager for Little Jiu Jiu to play with it.

"I'll play with you!" Little Jiu Jiu said with a smile as she squatted down.

Hotpot pounced into Xiao Jiu Jiu's arms, rubbing against her frantically while making whimpering noises.

Holding the fluffy head of the hotpot, Xiao Jiujiu giggled, "You missed me already after such a short time!"

"Wang!"

"Where's the cat?" Hotpot excitedly looked around.

"Meow~"

[A total simp]

Coal Ball rolled its eyes dismissively.

To everyone's surprise, the hotpot immediately spotted it: "Woof!"

Play with me!

It immediately abandoned its little scheme and ran towards the coal briquette.

"hot pot!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu called out, but couldn't stop her.

The hot pot was about to collide with the coal briquette.

The coal ball stretched out its claws and punched it twice: "Go away, go away! You're so annoying!"

It jumped onto the hotpot's back, giving the hotpot no chance.

Seeing this, the hotpot immediately lay down, ready to roll around.

【Tch~】

The moment the hot pot was knocked over, the coal ball jumped away.

Don't go!

Hotpot completely ignored Xiaojiu's intentions; its entire soul was captivated by the cat, and it chased after Coal Ball.

"land……"

"It's fine, let Hotpot go play, just don't bother the young master," Lu Yi said coldly.

The maid nodded and left.

With no cats or dogs to play with, Xiao Jiu Jiu lay bored on the table. "Ugh, they've all run away, it's so boring~"

"If you can, you can tell me your purpose, and I will pass it on to the young master." Lu Yi sat down next to Lu Li with a stern face like a Buddha.

Shaking her head, Xiao Jiujiu snorted, "I won't say that, I want to invite Brother Lu Li myself."

Lu Yi: ...

Don’t understand, but respect.

"Whatever you want, young master will probably need another half hour." After saying that, Lu Yi continued to watch over Lu Li.

Little Jiu Jiu lay lazily on the table, her eyes looking around.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a painting on the wall: "Wow, that painting is so cool, what is it?"

"Ok?"

Following Xiao Jiu Jiu's gaze, Lu Yi looked over.

There was a pencil drawing hanging on the wall.

The painting has been framed.

You can clearly see a picture inside depicting something chained up with many chains, as if it were wearing armor.

"That was drawn by the young master, is there a problem?" Lu Yi asked, puzzled.

Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head: "Oh, it's nothing, I just think this painting is really cool. Can I go take a look?"

This is not the case.

Xiao Jiu Jiu sensed a chilling atmosphere from that painting.

She wanted to get closer to take a look.

"can."

Lu Yi didn't see anything wrong with it, so he told Xiao Jiu Jiu to do as she pleased.

When Xiao Jiu Jiu got a few meters away from the painting, she could finally see it clearly.

The painting depicts a general.

The general was very tall, a head taller than the people around him, and also very robust.

Not only that, he was also holding a huge halberd, which made him look very imposing.

Little Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up: "This drawing is really good! I'm not very good at drawing, I'm so envious!"

She reached out to touch the painting.

"and many more!"

Lu Yi immediately stood up. "We can't touch that painting."

"what?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu turned around, her hand already touching the painting.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched it." Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly withdrew her hand and looked at Lu Yi pitifully.

Lu Yi's pupils contracted: He was actually alright.

He suddenly stood up, his face stern, and walked over without saying a word.

Xiao Jiu Jiu was startled and looked aggrieved: "Brother Lu Yi, I didn't mean to."

"Show me your hands," Lu Yi said coldly.

Xiao Jiu Jiu took two steps back: "Are you going to cut off my hands?"

"No, I just wanted to check if your hand was okay." Lu Yi took a deep breath and looked helplessly at Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu held out her hand: "I see."

Lu Yi examined Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand and found that there was no wound at all.

He looked at the painting, his brows furrowing.

The young master hung this painting himself; it's not very high up, so Xiao Jiu Jiu can just reach it.

But it was this touch that made Lu Yi feel even stranger.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked curiously.

Lu Yi shook his head: "It's nothing."

He refused to say anything more.

Scratching his head, Xiao Jiujiu said, "Alright then."

"By the way, feel it again," Lu Yi suggested.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Okay, you're so strange."

She reached out her hand towards the painting and looked at it more closely.

A faint aura of gloom was discovered surrounding the painting.

However, it has a hint of purple.

That's the aura of an emperor.

My fingertip lightly touched the painting.

Xiao Jiu Jiu then noticed that the purple aura was actually swirling around her fingertips.

Her eyes widened: What, what's going on?

Xiao Jiujiu quietly withdrew her hand, still bewildered.

With her grandfather gone, she didn't know who to talk to about this.

That was the aura of an emperor, and it actually brushed against me.

Hehe, good luck!

That imperial aura vanished instantly from Xiao Jiujiu's fingertips.

"what happened?"

Lu Yi was observing Xiao Jiu Jiu's reaction at all times, but he didn't see anything.

I'm even more curious as to why Xiao Jiu Jiu wasn't injured.

Seeing that the picture frame still held some imperial aura and yin energy, Xiao Jiujiu didn't touch it again.

"Well……"

At this moment, Lu Li on the sofa let out a low murmur.

"Young Master!"

Lu Yi had no time to worry about his own little schemes anymore and quickly ran to Lu Li's side: "Young Master, you're awake."

Lu Li looked at him blankly and said, "Hmm."

"Brother Lu Li!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu ran over and looked at Lu Li with a smile.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes, then forced a smile: "Why are you here?"

I came to see you!

Seeing that Lu Li was busy talking to Xiao Jiu Jiu, Lu Yi quickly said, "Young Master, take off what's on you and go take a bath."

"it is good."

Lu Li smiled gently at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "You play here for a while, I'll be there in a bit."

"Okay."

Lu Yi carried Lu Li, who was wrapped up in a ball, away.

A dozen minutes later, Lu Li came downstairs in his pajamas.

The maid was also carrying a bag.

Lu Yidao said, "These are the clothes you gave to the young master. We have already washed them."

Of course, if you don't want them, we can arrange for other clothes to be returned to you.

"Ah, okay, either way is fine." Xiao Jiu Jiu took the bag.

After Lu Li sat down, Lu Yi brought him a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water, Lu Li looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu and said, "I'm fine now, Xiao Jiu."

"Yes, I'm glad you're alright." Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded.

Lu Li could tell that Xiao Jiu Jiu had something else on her mind, so he smiled and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

"Brother Lu Li, are you free tomorrow? I want to go to the zoo with you~" Xiao Jiu Jiu invited Lu Li with a smile.

Lu Yi, who was standing next to her, was very puzzled as to why Xiao Jiu Jiu had to tell him this matter in person instead of relaying it to him.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Yi.

"I can..."

Seeing how cautious he was, Xiao Jiu Jiu felt a little strange.

It's as if a young master needs a bodyguard even when he goes out to play.

"Young Master, you're feeling much better now. You can go out and play tomorrow, but remember to keep warm." Lu Yi glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu, then at Lu Li, and nodded.

Lu Li smiled and said to Xiao Jiu Jiu, "What time tomorrow? I want to wake up early and get ready."

What preparations should I make for going to the zoo?

Xiao Jiujiu tilted her head: "Get up, wash up, change your clothes, and you can go out."

"Then I'll wait for you at the door at ten o'clock in the morning. Shall we take our car?" Xiao Jiu Jiu said with a grin.

Lu Yin frowned: "No, let's ride in our car."

"Sure, I'm fine with anything." Xiao Jiu Jiu shrugged and agreed.

Before Lu Li could say more than a few words to Xiao Jiu Jiu, Lu Yi said again, "Young Master, it's time to take your medicine and go to sleep."

"Okay, you can take Xiao Jiu home." Lu Li smiled faintly.

Lu nodded: "I'll have someone send Miss Jiu back."

After he returned from his mission, he couldn't leave the young master's side.

"Alright, bye-bye, Xiao Jiu." Lu Li smiled and waved to Xiao Jiu Jiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and went out the door.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I saw coal briquettes and a hot pot not far away.

"Coal ball, time to go home!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu shouted.

The coal ball immediately broke free from the hot pot and refused to play with it anymore.

"Wang!"

Don't go! I want to play more!

The coal ball flicked its tail and ignored it.

The hotpot made two more loud noises, only to be silenced by a deadly glare from the coal ball.

It looked so pitiful, its tail drooping down.

Xiao Jiu Jiu laughed: "Hahaha, Coal Ball, you've finally met your match."

Taking care of children is exhausting, no matter whose child it is.

Little Jiu Jiu followed behind Coal Ball, fiddling with her fingers and saying with a forced smile, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I'll do it again next time."

"Then I'll reluctantly forgive you," Coal Ball snorted and nimbly jumped up from the wall.

When she got home, the butler was waiting at the door: "Miss Jiu, you're back."

"Ah, Uncle Butler, what are you doing here?" Little Jiu Jiu looked inside curiously.

Qin Yuyang was sitting on the sofa with a stern face.

She asked somewhat guiltily, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing running out at night, a girl like you?" Qin Yuyang looked at Xiao Jiu seriously.

Xiao Jiu Jiu pointed to the next room: "I went next door to invite Brother Lu Li to play. Tomorrow, I'm going to the zoo with Xin Xin, Qin Hao, and Brother Lu Li, okay?"

"This……"

Qin Yuyang paused, then swallowed back the words he was about to say about his ulterior motives.

"Okay, you guys be careful when you go out to play."

Qin Yuyang nodded and stopped asking questions.

"Yay, I'm going to find Xinxin!"

Xiao Jiujiu waved to him and skipped upstairs.

Qin Yuyang sighed.

Today was another day when I couldn't muster any fatherly authority.

After going upstairs, Xiao Jiu Jiu went to Qin Xin's room and knocked on the door: "Xin Xin~"

"Sister?" Qin Xin looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu with some confusion as she opened the door.

Xiao Jiujiu forced a smile: "Let's go to the zoo together tomorrow, and invite Qin Hao along."

"Okay." Qin Xin nodded, still a little confused.

Then Xiao Jiu Jiu happily returned to her room.

Pack your things, time to go have fun tomorrow!
