Chapter 439: Tell it or not?
Eleven quickly sat up: "What do those people want? Is Mother alright?"
“Those people weren’t targeting us. Your mother isn’t saying this to make you worry or be afraid, but because of your status, you need to learn from a young age to be careful and observant in your actions…”
At eleven o'clock, she nodded: "I understand, Mother. Don't worry, I will be careful."
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and rubbed Eleven's head: "Although you are only four years old, you should know that bad people will not be kind to you just because you are four years old."
The mother and son talked for a while longer, and then Eleven's voice gradually became drowsy. Ye Qing'an stopped talking and soon the breathing beside her gradually became steady. Eleven had fallen asleep.
From the Demon Beast Forest, the faint roars of wild beasts could still be heard. Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, and a plan gradually formed in her mind.
Returning to the Dreamland of Clouds, the Nine Heavens are no more.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning circle. Soon after, Jiu Xiao arrived.
"You are an ancient magical beast, a guardian beast of the Cloud Dreamland, and you have also formed a magical beast contract with the Nine Yuan Supreme. You must be no ordinary being..."
Unaware of the trap, Jiu Xiao immediately puffed out his chest upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words: "Of course, I've already said before that I'm actually very powerful, it's just that you've never believed me, always thinking that I'm a stupid and clumsy... snake."
"Do you think people will believe you just because you say you're amazing?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and curled her lips slightly. This snake, narcissistic and vain, is easy to fool. A little provocation is all it takes to hook her: "Do you know the saying, 'Words are no proof'?"
"I can prove it! I can prove I'm an extremely powerful spirit beast. How do you want me to prove it?"
Ye Qing'an frowned, pretending to think: "How about this, let's do something simple. You're so powerful, maybe you can summon a hundred birds to create an effect similar to 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'?"
"A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix?" Jiuxiao blinked. "Summoning a hundred birds is not difficult. After all, most of those birds are ordinary birds without spiritual consciousness. Even if some have cultivated and gained some simple spiritual consciousness, they can only bow down to us ancient spirit beasts. But how exactly do you intend for a hundred birds to pay homage to the phoenix?"
Ye Qing'an smiled slightly: "It's very simple, I have a plan."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she beckoned to Jiu Xiao with her finger: "Come closer."
Jiu Xiao quickly moved closer, and Ye Qing'an whispered something to him. After listening, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but blink: "You want to pretend you're in tomorrow..."
"Hmm." Before Jiu Xiao could finish speaking, Ye Qing'an nodded: "Tomorrow, you shall arrange this matter properly for me. As for other matters in the Ye Manor, you can entrust them to your other spirit beasts. If this matter is handled well, I will reward you accordingly."
Jiuxiao's eyes darted around: "A reward? What kind of reward?"
"As a madam, Lan Qing must know quite a few beautiful spirit beasts. You can ask her to introduce you to some..."
Jiuxiao's eyes immediately lit up: "This is good, this is good. Cough cough..."
Realizing his reaction was a bit too much, Jiu Xiao quickly coughed lightly and composed himself, his expression turning slightly lewd: "It's settled then. Don't worry, I'll definitely get this done for you tomorrow and make sure you're satisfied."
Ye Qing'an clicked his tongue: "Alright, that's it for this matter. We'll talk about the rest after you've taken care of this one."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, he disappeared from the Dreamland of Clouds.
Just as Ye Qing'an's figure disappeared and Jiu Xiao was about to leave, he saw someone emerge from behind the library...
Jiu Xiao's eyes widened, his mouth agape: "Yi Moxu? When did you get here?"
"It's been a while." Yi Moxu's expression was indifferent as he stared intently at Jiuxiao. "What did she say to you just now?"
Jiu Xiao blinked, but did not answer Yi Moxu's question: "What are you doing hiding behind there? Does Ye Qing'an know you're behind there? You two are close. If you want to ask her something, why don't you just ask her? Why make things difficult for me, who is weak, pitiful, and helpless?"
As soon as Jiu Xiao finished speaking, he only saw Yi Moxu's figure flash by. Jiu Xiao blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, Yi Moxu was already in front of him.
"Holy crap..." Jiu Xiao suddenly took two steps back, his eyes filled with shock: "You...you...you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gleaming sword suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Say or not?"
Jiuxiao was almost in tears: "Why are you making things difficult for me? I'm just a spirit beast, and I'm Ye Qing'an's spirit beast. Don't you know that spirit beasts would never dare to betray their masters? What am I supposed to do?"
"I didn't want to pry into her secrets." Seeing Jiu Xiao's tearful appearance, Yi Moxu clicked his tongue. He admitted that he originally wanted to ask Ye Qing'an, but when Ye Qing'an whispered to Jiu Xiao just now, their posture was too intimate, which aggravated him.
Although he knew that Jiuxiao was just a spirit beast and not a man at all.
However, Jiuxiao was in the form of a man, and even though he knew this very well, he still felt unhappy.
“I know she’s outside the Monster Forest right now. My business here is done, and I just want to give her a surprise. She must have told you what you need to do, and I can help you.”
Upon hearing Yi Moxu's words, Jiu Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that among the things Ye Qing'an had arranged for him, there was indeed one that Yi Moxu could help with.
Jiu Xiao's eyes lit up: "Okay, I can tell you, but you have to help me, and if Ye Qing'an investigates, you must protect me. Otherwise, even if I become a vengeful ghost, I will never let you go."
Yi Moxu glanced at Jiu Xiao and replied lazily, "Okay, go ahead."
……
Ye Qing was completely unaware of what was happening in the Dreamland of Clouds. There was still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so she needed to get some rest tonight.
As the sky grew cooler, the faint sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside, followed by the sound of bugles.
The soldiers in the camp should be starting their training.
Eleven was awakened by the sound of the bugle. He listened with his eyes open for a while, then turned around and glanced at Ye Qing'an.
It's so noisy outside, didn't Mom get woken up?
As Eleven was thinking, her eyes suddenly widened – Mother…
He felt that his mother's face was unusually red.
Eleven paused, frowned, and recalled some things that had happened at the manor earlier. He quickly raised his hand and placed it on Ye Qing'an's forehead. To his touch, it was burning hot...
