Chapter 729: Chapter 729: The Young Master’s Meeting Gift, The Secret Technique of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan

After exiting the bathroom, Huo Yunjiao went into the dressing room, took off her half-soaked in-house clothes and changed into a fresh set of pajamas.

All the while, the strangeness of Qin Ruan’s body’s quick recovery from her scar filled her mind, overshadowing any feelings of uncertainty in her body.

Qin Ruan’s wound healing at an abnormal rate wouldn’t justify him morphing into a beast, disregarding everything to satisfy himself.

A change of pajamas later, a somewhat despondent Huo Yunjiao emerged from the dressing room, his handsome face clouded.

His heart, once agitated by Qin Ruan, had slowly begun to settle.

An increasing number of abnormal changes concerning her were brewing within his heart, causing him to become more cautious.

Before him, Qin Ruan was obedient, yet in front of others, her wild and untamable nature that was once evident in West City remained unchanged.

Her strange abilities, abnormally fast healing, and the extraordinary intelligence and robust health of the newly born Huo Yao and Huo Anqi surpassed most normal children’s.

If it wasn’t for the fact that all children born into the Huo family were subjected to DNA tests, he would have doubted that these two were his offspring, rather considering them spirit children nurtured by nature itself.

Propping himself up on the bed, Huo Yunjiao slowly closed his eyes, his heart gradually sinking.

His early indulgence with Qin Ruan made his current emotions complicated.

He placed her on an equal ground, offering her respect, freedom for development, and even powers beyond any other woman’s grasp.

But this didn’t mean that Qin Ruan could increasingly distance herself from him.

She was obedient in front of seniors and rebellious in front of strangers, her vivacity unbridled.

The authentic and adorable sides of Qin Ruan made him happy.

This girl really keeps one on their toes.

A low sigh of compromise echoed through the bedroom.

Huo Yunjiao knew there was some secret Qin Ruan kept. He had tried to ask before, but she would always subtly change the subject, as if she didn’t want to lie to him.

This invariably led to a slight rift in their relationship.

But now, he didn’t want to wait any longer.

He had a myriad of ways to make Qin Ruan open up if he wished.

Huo Yunjiao decided to take the initiative and make Qin Ruan willingly expose the secrets hidden deep within her heart.

...

Half an hour later.

Qin Ruan carefully opened the bathroom door and peaked out.

Upon seeing that Master Huo, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemed to have fallen asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief and, wrapped in a towel, stepped out.

On light feet and walking slowly, she headed towards the dressing room.

As soon as Qin Ruan got into the dressing room to change, Master Huo opened his clear eyes.

He turned his head towards the dressing room door, a hint of amused indulgence spreading across his face.

He then began to close his eyes slowly, his breathing gradually becoming steady.

By the time Qin Ruan finished changing and stepped out, Master Huo had truly fallen asleep.

She stood in the doorway, her gaze lingering on the man lying on the bed, her heartbeat having returned to a steady rhythm.

After watching for what seemed like forever until her eyes began to tire, she blinked and turned around to leave the bedroom.

This time she didn’t heed Master Huo’s words to eat first then visit the children, instead heading straight to the nursery room next door.

Huo Zhi was in the room with the servants, guarding the two children who were asleep.

Qin Ruan pushed open the door at that moment.

Having been standing by the door, Huo Zhi lowered her head, quietly calling out, "Madam!"

Looking at the two children sleeping in their separate beds, Qin Ruan’s eyes softened, "How long have Ayao and Anqi been sleeping for?"

"For a while now."

Huo Zhi said in a whisper, careful not to wake the two little masters.

Qin Ruan nodded and walked closer to Huo Yao and Huo Anqi.

The servant standing by the bed quietly nodded and remained silent.

Speaking with the children this close might easily wake them up.

Qin Ruan stopped by Huo Yao’s bedside, her finger touched his soft baby face, the gentle curve of her lips becoming even more tender.

Huo Yao lay sprawled out, sleeping without a care, looking like a little piglet.

Then she saw Huo Anqi, who was curled up on his side, his chubby hands tucked underneath his pillow, sleeping cute and obediently.

Qin Ruan touched Huo Anqi’s soft cheek for a moment, and then quickly withdrew her hand.

She walked to the door and softly told Huo Zhi, "Take good care of them."

"Yes, Madam!"

...

Deep into the night.

Champs Elysees Manor, the baby room.

Huo Zhi took turns with the servants to keep watch, one for the first half of the night and the other for the latter half.

The servant rested on the couch while Huo Zhi sat on the chair located in the center of the two little masters’ beds.

She sat, arms folded across her chest, her face expressionless, as she watched over them.

The occasional glance at Huo Yao and Huo Anqi softened her otherwise unreadable face and voided expressions with an unusual hue.

It was the color of love for the two children.

Suddenly, a wisp of white mist flew in through the patio door and into the nursery.

Huo Zhi’s cold eyes darted towards it and in the next second, her body became limp, and her consciousness plunged into unconsciousness.

The white mist transformed into a human figure, her long hairs, fluttering and carrying a chill from the outside.

The figure walked to the side of Huo Yao and Huo Anqi’s beds. The moonlight from outside the window shined in, casting the figure’s slender shadow on the bed.

The figure stood still for a good while, waiting for the chill to dissipate, raising her prominent jointed fingers moving the index finger toward Huo Yao’s little face.

The first prod was very light, like a test.

The second prod was slightly heavier, leaving a red imprint on Huo Yao’s fair face.

The hand, which was preparing to prod again, stopped when the imprint appeared.

The figure turned and walked to Huo Anqi’s bedside. Just like how she dealt with Huo Yao, her fingertip prodded the little face.

This time, she wasn’t successful.

As the good-looking finger was about to touch Huo Anqi’s face, the young prince opened his eyes as black as ink, his gaze, unlike a child’s, stared intently at the figure.

"Eh, you’re awake?"

A pleasant, gender-neutral voice echoed.

Upon looking again at the figure who had spoken, wasn’t it Hu Yixian?

He was still in his transformation state, his Adam’s apple still visible, devoid of femininity. His face, as androgynous as ever, seemed even more dashing and captivating.

Upon seeing Huo Anqi awake, Hu Yixian squinted his smiling eyes, squatting by the bed, his finger, originally suspended in mid-air, shifted direction.

He hooked Huo Anqi’s little hand and chuckled, "Little master, do you know who I am?"

Huo Anqi’s black eyes flickered a little. His alert and wide-awake eyes were gazing at Hu Yixian.

Perhaps he was estimating whether Hu Yixian was harmless.

After looking for quite a while, Huo Anqi slowly closed his eyes.

As for the finger that Hu Yixian was fiddling with, he didn’t seem to mind at all and let him play.

"Tsk, why are you ignoring me? You’re as cold and aloof as your father."

Huo Anqi’s closed eyelids twitched slightly, as if he intended to open them.

Hu Yixian stared at him for a while, but the tiny fellow didn’t open his eyes.

He smirked and said, "Let me tell you, I’m a demon, a demon that eats children."

Huo Anqi’s eyelids didn’t even twitch.

Not willing to give up, Hu Yixian menacingly said, "A child like you, I could simply gobble you up in one bite."

Huo Anqi appeared to be sound asleep.

Hu Yixian’s face was adorned with a bright smile. He knew that Anqi wasn’t really asleep, but was just too aloof and uninterested in interacting with him.

He really was just like his father.

Hu Yixian stopped teasing him.

He stood up as suddenly, eight fluffy black tails sprouted from behind him.

The black tails waggled in the air, engulfing Hu Yixian’s entire body. It looked much like a special effect from a movie.

He reached out and grabbed one black tail, and without even blinking, used the Wind Blade to cut it off.

Hu Yixian’s beautiful face twisted a little. He held the furry black amputated tail and presented it in front of Huo Anqi.

Unbeknownst to when, Huo Anqi opened his eyes.

His pitch-black eyes fixated intently on Hu Yixian. No one knew how long he had been staring.

Meeting Huo Anqi’s calm and adult-like gaze, Hu Yixian’s alluring face regained its composure.

The severed tail in his hand turned into a white light and merged into Huo Anqi’s hand.

Hu Yixian said softly, "Little master, this is my gift to you. Whenever you’re in danger, just think of my name in your heart and I will be by your side, no matter where you are.

It’s a secret technique of our Nine-Tailed Fox tribe. My name is Hu Yixian. Remember it, okay?"

Huo Anqi lifted his little hand, staring at the empty palm. His usually stoic face revealed a rare confused look.

Hu Yixian squinted his eyes, apparently, having given the gift bolstered his courage.

He reached out and pinched Huo Anqi’s small face, "I’m off, see you later."

Huo Anqi’s dark eyes stared at him.

Hu Yixian’s gaze was full of affection, returning the gaze with a smiling face. His body turned into a wisp of white smoke and flew towards the window, departing.
