Chapter 99: 099 Sticky and mushy...

Xia Ye’s words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Xia Yourong from head to toe.

Eyes packed densely with terror, her blood ran completely cold throughout her body...

**

Xia Ye had guessed that tonight, there would be a big fight at home, so she had made plans to dine with a fellow Taoist early to stay out of trouble.

Jiang Xuan had just received a reply from Tian Hanwen that afternoon, confirming that Xia Yourong was the instigator and had been dealt with through dissuasion.

Jiang Xuan couldn’t say he was entirely satisfied with the outcome, but at least the right person had been identified, and that was acceptable.

At 9:10 p.m., Jiang Xuan picked up the person he had been wanting to see.

Xia Ye was a bit sleepy today, and as soon as she got in the car, she leaned against the seat as if boneless.

She had been up until the early hours of the morning preparing several bottles of medicine for her third brother, and had been busy all morning with Xia Yourong’s matter.

Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao had finally managed to bring Xia Yourong down, excitedly pulling Xia Ye aside to chatter every break between classes. Xia Ye couldn’t sleep during breaks and couldn’t rest easy in class either, always ready to catch the chalk thrown by the teacher at any moment.

The ancestral craft must not be discarded.

Once Xia Ye got sleepy, her fox-like nature would emerge, and she would become sticky and inoffensive.

When she got in the car, she obediently called out "Uncle Jiang." Jiang Xuan could only see her briefly after school each day. He didn’t want her to fall asleep as soon as she got in the car, but seeing her being so well-behaved, he still adjusted the seat back for her so she could sleep more comfortably.

It was peak time for school dismissal with many students coming and going, so he had to sit in the car and wait for a moment.

The car window was slightly open, allowing the sounds from outside to seep in.

Today, the students had only two topics of discussion after school.

One was the humiliating incident involving Xia Yourong and the school’s public address system; the other was the increasingly delicious food in the school cafeteria — a constant topic of discussion among the students lately.

"Today’s crab roe soup buns were incredible. I posted them online and no one would believe that you could get such popular crab roe soup buns in a high school cafeteria!"

"I bet before long our cafeteria will take direct orders from us."

"You’re dreaming, we eat whatever they make, and you still want to order? Do you think you’re a sugar daddy?"

In the car, the legitimate sugar daddy turned to look at the little girl who hadn’t quite fallen asleep yet.

"Is there a dish you’d like? I can ask the cafeteria to add it to the menu."

Xia Ye’s peach-blossom eyes were hazy, and she opened them slightly, then closed them again. Her tone was casual, with a whiny drawl at the end, "I’m not that interested in eating. Anything is fine."

Jiang Xuan just glanced at her and then read the more than sixty elaborate dishes flashing through her mind at that moment.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly as he silently made a mental note of those more than sixty dishes.

The car entered Godear’s underground parking space. Jiang Xuan unbuckled his seat belt, turned off the car light, and turned to see that Xia Ye was still asleep.

The little girl curled up in a small space on the car seat, her eyelids peacefully closed, her long, dense eyelashes trembling occasionally, her breathing soft and gentle.

Jiang Xuan leaned over to help her unbuckle the seat belt, but after he did, he didn’t immediately pull back at the sight of the girl’s small face, so near at hand.

In the dimly-lit underground garage, the girl’s face appeared so white, it was as if it glowed.

That day, when he saw her image projected on a large white screen, he was angry, but at the same time, he couldn’t deny that the way the girl in the photo looked at him with lifted eyebrows stirred his heart.

He had seen her when she was very young, not when she was born into the Xia family, but thousands of years ago when she was just a little fat fox with a shallow cultivation base.

Despite looking soft and cute, she already possessed a terrifying destructive power at that time.

She learned without a teacher, gathering the world’s spiritual essence.

The first time she transformed into a human form, she ran and played on the country paths, her little feet white and soft, uncovered.

Where she passed, the air was filled with sweet spiritual energy.

The barren ground sprouted lush green vegetation, and the withered flowers bloomed anew.

In the world of black, white, and gray, her arrival turned it into color.

Back then, watching that little creature grow each day was Jiang Xuan’s only pastime in Ear Mountain.

When she was thirsty, he conjured a Spiritual Spring for her.

When she craved, he transformed Dong Mao’s distant relatives’ chicks right beside her.

It was somewhat like... the nurturing games young people enjoyed playing nowadays.

The little girl gradually grew up and made some friends around her.

However, at that time she was still unacquainted with the ways of the world, retaining the purity of a wild animal; she gave wholehearted feedback to those who were kind to her.

Little did she know that those friends approached her coveting the strong innate talent she was born with.

Latter, she was deceived and used by people with ulterior motives. As she grew up, her eyes lost their brightness, and her temperament turned cold.

Her abilities were enough to destroy heaven and earth, or to bring the dead back to life.

Just like a delicate sapling that, if not carefully nurtured, would grow crooked.

Jiang Xuan couldn’t bear to watch her go astray, so he tirelessly disciplined her, not sparing punishments.

He oversaw her adolescence and rebellious phase, but no matter what, he still constrained her within the bounds of Ear Mountain, within his watch.

Jiang Xuan collected his thoughts, his gaze falling back on the girl before him.

Originally, she was a little spirit fox he had ’freely roamed’ on Ear Mountain, but at some point, he seemed to feel something for her...

Jiang Xuan watched, entranced, unaware that wisps of Spiritual Energy were escaping from his body.

Xia Ye was sleeping in a daze when suddenly her little nose twitched.

Jiang Xuan thought she was about to wake up, but in the next second, his strong waist tensed, as Xia Ye suddenly wrapped her slender arms around him and burrowed into his embrace.

Her little face pressed tightly against his chest through the shirt, as if she wanted to suck all his Spiritual Energy away.

With the toasty warmth of her small face against him, Jiang Xuan’s spine stiffened in an instant.

The security guard, seeing Boss Jiang’s car stationary for a long while with no movement, feared something might have happened to Jiang, and hurried over with a jog.

About to knock on the car window, he suddenly caught sight of Boss Jiang inside the car... apparently holding that... the little girl who often came to eat with Jiang, the guard couldn’t be sure.

Regardless of who it was, what mattered was that she was held in Boss Jiang’s arms!

Jiang Xuan noticed the guard, raised his eyelids, and the moment he looked at the security guard, the previously fervent gaze turned icy cold.

The guard quickly withdrew his hand. What if Boss Jiang mistook him for a thief sneaking a peek at him hugging the young lady?

Time to slip away.

His timing was perfect, and Xia Ye was not disturbed.

She wasn’t fully awake yet when she snuggled closer into Jiang Xuan’s embrace, "Uncle Jiang, you smell so nice~"

**

While Xia Ye was enjoying her feast of Spiritual Energy, at the Xia Family villa, the atmosphere had sunk to freezing point.

Wang Dahai’s car drove into the courtyard, and inside the house, Qiao Yufen and Xia Yuzheng sat at opposite ends of the sofa with extremely unsightly expressions.

Xu He was taking a call from Xia Xian at the border; before she could hang up, another call came in from Xia Tiao.

Xia Yourong walked into the house as if her feet were leaden, moving step by step...
