Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Ruanruan of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s Bloodline is Awakening

The Huo Family was a prestigious clan, and although the family no longer observed the rigid social hierarchy that had been in place hundreds of years ago, the tradition of direct lineage succession to the significant powers of the Huo Family continued.

Huo Yirong and Huo Junxin had been raised with an education that forbade any discord among brothers, with Huo Yunjiao being the designated heir to the Huo Family from a young age.

However, as he grew older, Huo Yirong developed a rebellious attitude and occasionally showed disrespect towards Huo Yunjiao, who had always been frail since childhood.

It wasn’t until later, when he learned certain things from his grandfather, that he and his older brother came to accept Huo Yunjiao’s stable position as the heir to the Huo Family wholeheartedly.

After the death of his younger brother, he was not buried in the Huo family ancestral tomb, not just him, but every few generations, there would be a ruling heir of the Huo Family who wouldn’t be buried in the ancestral tomb, and all of these individuals died young.

They were the direct descendants of the Huo Family, and also a blessing from the heavens to the Huo Family, as long as they lived, it was the greatest fortune for the Human Realm.

As Huo Yirong was managing his emotions, struggling to hold back the tears whirling in his eyes due to the sadness within him, Huo Yunjiao’s gentle voice rose once again.

"Second brother, I still have things to deal with on my end. If Huo Qi is a promising seed, you better prepare to support him soon, the HEA Group can be managed by him in the future."

Huo Yirong took a deep breath, changed his breath several times, and said hoarsely, "Third brother, are you even human? Who else is as twisted as you, discussing your own life and death with such calm?"

And here he was, the one most affected, with reddened eyes and a sour nose.

Knowing that he was upset, Huo Yunjiao spoke up to comfort him, "Two years is not too long, but it’s not too short either, it’s enough."

Suppressing his anger, Huo Yirong shouted, "Enough, my ass! I still want to be brothers with you for a lifetime!"

Huo Yunjiao’s gentle voice carried a smile as he exclaimed, "A lifetime is too long——"

...

Upstairs, Qin Ruan had just changed her clothes after a quick wash when she picked up her cellphone from the table and opened the video sent by her second brother.

In the video, Xueqiu was lying by the bed, the little creature sprawled on Qin Mei’s arm with its eyes tightly closed, sleeping sweetly.

Qin Mei mischievously tugged at its white whiskers with a finger.

"Meow——"

Xueqiu voiced its protest.

It sleepily glared at Qin Mei and then started kneading on his arm with its front paws, meowing as it did so.

The sound was lazy and aggrieved, as if complaining about having its sleep disturbed by its owner.

Qin Mei’s laughter followed, "Ruanruan, I can’t get out of bed now, look, this cat is treating me like a cat bed."

"Meow!"

Upon hearing the name Ruanruan come from Qin Mei’s mouth, Xueqiu’s green eyes widened, and its ears perked up, staring incredulously at the phone camera.

The fear in its eyes was clearly exposed in the lens of the phone.

"Meow meow!!!"

Xueqiu meowed energetically twice and then sprang up from the bed, swiftly jumping out of the phone’s camera range.

As Qin Mei laughed heartily, he teased, "Ruanruan, be the judge, I’m not even as useful as your shoveler, just mentioning your name scared it off."

He pointed his phone at Xueqiu fleeing the room, only capturing the cat’s erect tail disappearing through the door crack.

Then, Qin Mei turned the camera towards himself, showcasing his radiant, slightly mischievous smiling face.

All he said was, "Little sister, I’m really bored, when are you bringing Ayao and Anqi back to entertain me?"

The video abruptly stopped there.

Qin Ruan could tell he was truly bored, and thinking of her two sons in the next room, she quickly grabbed her handbag and hastened out of the room.

Inside the children’s room.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi’s young faces displayed complex and solemn expressions.

The brothers both sensed that the connection with their father was fading, indicating that his health was deteriorating.

Huo Yao clenched his little fingers, his pale brows tightly knitted, his small face scrunched up like a bun.

His pitch-black eyes stared at his younger brother sitting beside him, "Aqi, what should we do?"

Huo Anqi’s lips were tightly pursed, and a shadow that did not belong to his age flickered across his dark eyes, just like their grandfather’s.

He opened his little mouth and said crisply, "We’ll wait for father to come back and discuss it."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Ruan, hearing her younger son’s words, smiled and asked, "Is Aqi missing daddy?"

She smilingly sized up her two precious sons sitting on the children’s bed, noticing a pile of mechanical toys beside them.

Huo Yao: "Mommy—"

Huo Anqi: "Mommy—"

The brothers acted as if nothing had happened, their faces breaking into brilliant smiles and their voices sweetly calling out.

Qin Ruan walked over to them, bent down, and rubbed their heads, "Are you missing daddy?"

Huo Yao nodded, his eyes showing longing, "It’s been a long time since we’ve seen daddy."

Huo Anqi added, "Daddy promised to buy us the latest model of mechanical toys."

Qin Ruan’s eyes curved into a smile, and she spoke softly to them, "Daddy will be back soon. How about I send you to play at uncle’s house today?"

Huo Yao narrowed his eyes, which were similar to Qin Ruan’s foxy eyes, and asked, "Is Xueqiu there?"

Qin Ruan nodded, "Yes, uncle hurt his leg and can’t play with you guys, but you can play with Xueqiu. There are also many toys grandpa prepared for you in mommy’s room."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones revealed eager expressions on their faces.

Huo Yao shook his little hand excitedly, "I want to go, I want to go play with uncle!"

Huo Anqi’s eyes also showed a bright light of anticipation, "I miss Xueqiu too."

Qin Ruan: "Alright, I’ll have someone take you there in a bit."

Huo Yao tilted his head and asked, "Isn’t mommy coming?"

Qin Ruan explained softly, "Mommy has to go out, I’ll come to see you tomorrow."

Huo Yao’s expression turned somewhat downcast, "Alright—"

Qin Ruan kissed each of their cheeks in turn, then turned and left to arrange for someone to take them to the Qin Family.

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi sat on the edge of the bed, watching her departing figure, the hopeful smile gradually fading from their faces.

"Did you smell that scent on mommy?"

"Something seems off with mommy."

Huo Yao and Huo Anqi said simultaneously.

The brothers exchanged a glance, their similarly delicate faces now bearing a serious expression that felt more dangerous than before.

They could clearly feel the fluctuating aura on Qin Ruan’s body, the awakening of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan’s bloodline.

Although the aura was faint, they could clearly feel it.

The Black Evil Energy around Huo Anqi’s body uncontrollably leaked out.

Huo Yao gave him a push, "Keep it under control, mom hasn’t left yet!"

The Black Evil Energy surging around Crown Prince Huo instantly retracted completely.

His lips were tightly pursed, "How much longer before father returns?"

"Soon—"

Huo Yao placated his younger brother using Qin Ruan’s words.

His fox-like eyes flickered with contemplation, recalling memories of their parents in the Netherworld in his mind.
