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

【Xiao Jiu】

【Xiao Jiu】

【What are you doing? 】

Coal Ball paced back and forth on the table, glancing at Little Nine's writing every now and then: "What kind of writing is this?"

"Coal Ball, move away! You're blocking my light!" Little Nine-Nine reached out and pushed Coal Ball.

The coal ball lightly dodged, meowing irritably: "You've been so focused on writing, but there's something wrong with what you've written. You misspelled a word."

The cat stretched out its paw and pressed it on a character, explaining, "Look, you wrote this character wrong."

"Oh……"

Xiao Jiu Jiu drew out the sound and gave a soft hum: "That's how I'll write it!"

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?"

There was a knock on the door, and Qin Yuhai's voice could be heard.

Xiao Jiu Jiu ran over and opened the door: "Uncle, what brings you here?"

"I just came over to take a look."

Qin Yuhai patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's head: "Don't you need your dad's help now?"

When he first saw Xiao Jiu in trouble, it felt like the sky was falling, and he was terrified.

Surprisingly, there are no major problems now.

This progress is too fast.

Xiao Jiu Jiu said with a smile, "It will only take a little while, just a few hours, not a whole day."

Since absorbing the imperial aura twice, she could feel her damaged soul being repaired.

[Just lucky]

As Coal Ball spoke, it meowed at Qin Yuhai across from it.

Qin Yuhai walked over to Coal Ball and squatted down: "Coal Ball, what are you going to do?"

"Meow~"

It lightly jumped onto Qin Yuhai's head, its furry head nestled against him.

Stroking Coal Ball's fur, Qin Yuhai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Coal Ball would like me now. You're all better."

"I just pushed it, and it's upset," Xiao Jiujiu explained with a light snort.

Qin Yuhai's doting gaze fell on Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing? Why are you so serious?"

He walked over to Xiao Jiu and watched as the little girl stood up straight, holding a pen and writing diligently.

She carefully wrote her crooked handwriting on the card, stroke by stroke.

"I'm writing an invitation; I have someone I want to invite," Xiao Jiujiu snorted and continued writing.

She wants to invite Brother Ye Chen, Brother Lu Li, Brother Bai, and others...

So she not only drew a formation on the card, but also wrote words on it.

Formations were easy for her to draw.

But writing is difficult.

Her handwriting is a bit ugly.

"When you write an invitation, your handwriting should be a little nicer, Xiao Jiu, shouldn't it?" Qin Yuhai said with a light laugh.

Xiao Jiujiu snorted lightly: "Is it not good? I think it's alright! I tried my best!"

She continued writing, then suddenly frowned in annoyance: "Ugh, I misspelled a word! How annoying!"

He took out a pen and scribbled on the card.

The formation was drawn in vain!

Xiao Jiujiu crumpled the card into a piece and threw it into the trash can: "Hmph, I don't believe it."

Qin Yuhai looked at her with amusement: "It's okay, Xiao Jiu, take your time writing, no rush."

"Mmm." Little Jiu Jiu stuck out her tongue and started drawing arrays on the paper again, while also writing some words.

A set of movements.

This time, everything went smoothly without any major mistakes.

Soon, the first invitation letter, Xiao Jiu version, was finished.

Xiao Jiujiu proudly held up her invitation, a smile spreading across her face: "How was it? I think I wrote it really well!"

At least there were no typos this time! Perfect!

"Let my uncle take a look."

Qin Yuhai looked at the invitation.

Although the handwriting is immature, it is written quite well, stroke by stroke.

He said with satisfaction, "This is not bad. Who are you going to invite?"

Looking down, Qin Yuhai saw the name of the person who had been invited.

"Hmm? Lu Li?"

Isn't this the kid from next door?

He had previously investigated Lu Li, who was in poor health and was the eldest son of the Lu family's head. He had heard that Lu Li was very talented in business.

"You invited the kid from next door?" Qin Yuhai frowned as he looked at Xiao Jiu.

When did the two children become so familiar with each other?

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, I think Brother Lu Li is a good person, that's why I invited him."

As she spoke, she bit her lip, tapped her two index fingers together, and asked somewhat guiltily, "Can't I invite him?"

Her aggrieved look made Qin Yuhai surrender immediately.

Qin Yuhai nodded hurriedly, "Of course, as long as Xiao Jiu likes it, inviting her is not out of the question."

The prerequisite is that they are willing to come.

He didn't have much hope.

The Lu family is wealthy and has been deeply rooted in the capital for many years. How could they possibly agree to let their next successor attend a child's welcome banquet?

Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't think too much about it and happily said, "Yay! Invite them all!"

She put a talisman inside the first invitation, which carried a faint scent of wintersweet.

"I'll go find Brother Lu Li tomorrow!"

She took a transparent, sealed bag and put the invitation and talisman inside.

Qin Yuhai said helplessly, "Alright, your welcome banquet is the day after tomorrow. Are you ready?"

"What do I need to prepare?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked Qin Yu Hai curiously.

There's nothing to prepare; it's just that Qin Yuyang is using this welcome banquet as an excuse to get to know more people.

He wants to improve so much.

Qin Yuhai was speechless for a moment, then said, "No need, just be happy!"

"Okay, then I'll continue writing, Uncle...?"

Xiao Jiujiu looked at Qin Yuhai with her beautiful eyes.

After taking the coal briquettes off his shoulder and putting them away, Qin Yuhai said, "It's alright now. I'm going back to my room. I need to continue following up on the case tomorrow."

Without lingering any longer, he turned and left.

Little Nine-Nine looked at the coal ball: "Coal ball, look, haven't I improved at drawing talismans?"

It's definitely much better than before.

The coal ball waved its paw: "That's good, great!"

"Hehe, I'm going to keep writing!"

Xiao Jiujiu excitedly continued writing.

An invitation with array formations, calligraphy, and talismans—this is the first time I've ever seen one of this scale.

This shows how much Xiao Jiujiu values ​​the people she invited.

Coal Ball said with some reluctance, "Isn't it too tiring for you to draw like this?"

"Not at all."

Xiao Jiu Jiu rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "Coal Ball, you felt it too, didn't you?"

I'm telling you, I used my abilities today, but I don't need my dad by my side for very long anymore. Doesn't that mean...?

[Indeed, perhaps if you continue, you will be able to break free from your constraints.] Coal Ball heard this and its cat-like eyes turned a creepy green.

Reaching out and touching the coal ball, Xiao Jiu said, "If I break free from these constraints, will I be able to find clues about Grandpa's death? I want to know what Grandpa encountered before he passed away."

I still remember those fragments flashing through my mind at that time.

Is this considered a reminder?

But now, having gone through all this, no fragments have flashed before her eyes.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu Jiu told Mei Qiu all the questions that were on her mind.

"Coal Ball, what do you think is the reason?" Little Nine-Nine looked at it curiously.

Coal Ball flicked its tail: [How should I know? I'm just a little kitten. I'm going to watch TV!]

With that, Coal Ball turned and left.

Little Nine-Nine: ...

"Coal Ball, have you no shame!" Little Nine-Nine accused.

Coal Ball went to the restroom without a care in the world.

It wiped its paws, then calmly jumped onto the bed.

"Ball!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu called out again.

Coal Ball glanced at her: "Say what you will, I'm going to watch TV!"

It walked to the bedside and pulled Xiao Jiu Jiu's tablet in front of itself.

It extended its claws and opened the tablet.

When the sound of the TV series started playing, Xiao Jiu Jiu was completely speechless.

Okay, okay, she can't control Coal Balls anymore anyway.

"Hmph, you stinky coal ball, I'm not going to talk to you anymore! I'm going to keep writing!" With a few haughty hums, Little Ninety-Nine started writing.

In response to Xiao Jiujiu's question, the coal ball flicked its tail.

This attitude is extremely perfunctory.

Not long after she finished writing, Xiao Jiujiu remembered something else.

"Coal briquette, coal briquette, are you there?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't even turn her head, she just kept shouting and shouting, disturbing Mei Qiu who was watching the show.

"Meow~"

Coal Ball called out impatiently, "Little ancestor! What do you want from me? Just say it!"

Knowing I was there, it kept calling and calling, like it was summoning my soul!

"I did it on purpose!"

Xiao Jiujiu spoke with great confidence and self-assurance.

Coal Ball rolled its eyes: "So what do you want to ask me?"

"Oh, right!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu stopped bickering and said, "Coal Ball, when I go to Brother Lu Li's house tomorrow, I want to touch that painting again!"

Speaking of that painting...

Coal Ball looked at Little Nine-Nine, thought for a moment, and said: "I got injured from touching the painting, but I remember that you didn't have any side effects from touching that painting, and you could even absorb the imperial aura."

That must be an amazing physique!

People would be so envious if they found out!

"Hehehe, yeah, ever since I touched that painting and absorbed the imperial aura from it, I feel like my abilities have improved a lot!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu was still a little puzzled when this was brought up.

That painting really does resemble a nutrient bottle that provides energy replenishment at any time.

There was no discomfort whatsoever; the fit was extremely high.

For her, it's like a health supplement!

"Alright, stop thinking about all this nonsense. Whether you can get it or not depends on your luck tomorrow," Coal Ball said, dropping his little scheme and continuing to watch the show.

*

The next morning, Xiao Jiu Jiu took out the invitation and small gift she had given to Lu Li.

"Let's go next door and play with Brother Lu Li~"

Her mood was visibly good.

Ye Xuan, who was having breakfast downstairs, glanced at the time and stared wide-eyed in disbelief:

"Xiao Jiu, why did you come down so early today? Were you here to tell my fortune?"

Little Nine-Nine: ...

She paused and explained, "No, no, I need to go out for a bit, I'm also hungry!"

After putting the things away, Xiao Jiu Jiu ran to the dining table, her eyes shining: "Wow, these breakfasts look so delicious!"

"I made these this morning," Ye Xuan said, scratching her head a little embarrassedly.

Xiao Jiu Jiu sat down at the table, and Mei Qiu also walked to his own special rice bowl.

The maid brought Xiao Jiu Jiu a bowl and chopsticks, and Mei Qiu was served breakfast.

After taking a bite, Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up: "Aunt Ye, your breakfast is so delicious!"

After Xiao Jiujiu showered her with compliments, Ye Xuan forgot everything else.

After breakfast, Xiao Jiu Jiu got up with the coal briquettes: "Aunt Ye, I'm going to the next room now!"

"Okay, okay, slow down and be careful."

Ye Xuan waved her hand, and Xiao Jiu Jiu scurried away happily.

With a smile on his face: Xiao Jiu is so considerate!

Coal Ball ate the meat, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Before it could even call out "Little Nine Nine," she had already vanished without a trace.

With a sigh, Coal Ball quickly chased after him: "Little Nine, wait for me! You little devil!"

"Coal Ball, hurry up!" Little Jiu Jiu stopped and called out, then slipped out again.

Two minutes later.

A person and a cat stood outside the Lu family's mansion.

The decoration of their yard looked beautiful. Xiao Jiu Jiu stood at the door and reached out to press the doorbell, but found that the doorbell had changed position.

It seems quite tall.

"Coal ball, I can't press it!" Little Jiu Jiu jumped up and down in frustration.

Is it reasonable to put the doorbell so high?

The coal ball looked up and said, "Lift me up, I'll ring the doorbell."

It's a good thing the yard is far from the mansion, otherwise they could just shout at the top of their lungs.

Without saying a word, Xiao Jiu Jiu picked up the coal ball and dragged it along, saying, "Go press it, it's up to you, coal ball!"

Coal briquettes: ...

Something feels off!

"Ding dong!"

The paw pressed against the doorbell.

I can't hear the doorbell at the door, so I don't know if it's ringing inside.

The machine by the door lit up.

Xiao Jiujiu said, "It should have rung."

"Who?"

A voice came from the intercom.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu exclaimed, "Isn't this Lu Yi?!"

"Brother Lu Yi, it's me, Xiao Jiu. I'm at the door, can you open it for me?"

Xiao Jiujiu shouted excitedly.

Lu Yi, who was inside, opened the door: "Miss Jiu, please come in."

"okay!"

After entering the door, Xiao Jiu Jiu started grumbling: "That's strange, Coal Ball, don't you think the doorbell is too high?"

Have I gotten shorter?

Coal Ball: [Did we ring the doorbell before?]

"I don't think so~" Little Jiu Jiu scratched her head: "I don't remember at all!"

"What can your little brain remember, Xiao Jiu?" Coal Ball shook its head helplessly.

"Hmph, you're talking about me again! I'm breaking off all ties with you!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu said unreasonably.

Coal Ball: [What a scoundrel!]

Upon entering the villa, Xiao Jiu Jiu greeted Lu Yi, then her gaze fell on Lu Li: "Brother Lu Li!"

At this moment, Lu Li was sitting on the sofa, half-lying down, with a slight flush on his face and sweat on his body.

Seeing Xiao Jiujiu's look, Lu Li glanced at himself and said, "I just finished my medicinal bath, and you just happened to arrive."

He asked gently, "Xiao Jiu, is there something you need from me?"

"I've come to deliver your invitation!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and pulled out an invitation: "My family is going to throw a welcome banquet for me, and I'd like to invite Brother Lu Li. I wonder if Brother Lu Li would be willing!"

Xiao Jiujiu proudly handed the invitation to Lu Li with a smile on her face.

Seeing how cute the little girl was, Lu Li couldn't bear to refuse her.

He took the invitation, opened it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Jiu, did you write this yourself?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded shyly: "I wrote it stroke by stroke!"

What is drawn on it?

As soon as Lu Li touched the invitation, he felt a warm current flow into his body. How amazing...
