Erin’s mother, Laki, ca ho to find it unusually lively.
Had guests arrived?
She glanced around, but only saw her daughter Erin frolicking on the spacious balcony.
Erin had taken out all her toys again, spreading them from the living room to the balcony, leaving no space even in the entrance hall.
"Little Xue, look at the little braid I made. Isn’t it pretty?"
"Erin, look, I styled the doll’s hair too, and even gave it a princess dress."
Laki frowned, only then noticing that her daughter was playing with another little girl.
Then, she saw a strange-looking Wild Beast lying next to the two girls, napping clumsy and innocently, yet looking fiercely nacing when it opened its mouth revealing its sharp fangs.
Next to the balcony, a strange man leaned against the railing, always watching the outside of the house.
As an Earth-level cultivator, Laki sensed that the mont she opened the door, she was locked onto by so powerful aura.
This aura could have co from the strange man, or from that Fierce Beast.
anwhile, Laki’s husband, Sosif, was playing with his phone on the sofa.
Just as Laki was about to scold her daughter for the ss with the toys, Sosif placed his index finger on his lips, making a "shush" gesture.
"The house is such a ss, and you’re not managing this girl?"
Laki glared silently at her husband.
Sosif whispered, "It’s fine, we can have the maid clean it up later. Let them play to their heart’s content."
Laki thought it rare for her daughter’s classmate to co over, so she decided to tolerate it for the day.
Normally, she would never allow such play.
However, when she saw her lipsticks piled up beneath the girls, Laki’s expression changed.
These girls were applying her lipsticks on their dolls?
Laki could not bear it, but her husband grabbed her hand.
"I’ll buy you new ones," he said.
"But they’ve got it all over the walls and the sofa too!" Laki exclaid angrily.
Her husband signaled her to keep her voice down, whispering, "It’s okay, we’ll just replace them."
Laki was stunned.
She looked at her husband sowhat unfamiliarly.
Usually, being a gentleman from a wealthy family who disliked noise and always emphasized manners, Sosif was the first to lose his temper if Erin were to make such a ss at ho.
What was different today?
Had he taken the wrong dication?
He was so calm?
Even though they were wealthy, the sofas and curtains were not cheap.
Well, if he could tolerate it, Laki decided not to disturb her daughter any further.
But the next mont, she was astonished to discover that while playing ’house’, her daughter and friend were using her husband’s expensive tea set as props.
It was a limited edition high-end ceramic tea set from Dragon Nation.
Since the global shift towards Eastern culture, the major capital markets greatly valued high-end luxury goods from Dragon Nation.
From tea culture to tea sets, wine, and gourt food, all had been elevated to premium status.
Sosif paid several tens of millions for that set of jade porcelain tea ware.
Laki thought her husband hadn’t seen it and instinctively nudged him, whispering urgently, "Your tea set!"
Yet Sosif remained calm, still looking at the news on his phone, and said absentmindedly, "I know, they needed props, so they took it to play with."
Laki was shocked.
If only she had the power, she would have liked to delve into her husband’s body with her Divine Sense to see if soone had possessed him.
Normally, these tea sets and such were only kept in my husband’s study, and my daughter was not allowed to carelessly enter and ss around.
Yet today, she actually took them out for my daughter to use as props for play?
And that was not all, the sharp-eyed Laki, when she withdrew her gaze, felt that sothing seed missing from a few background walls in the living room?
At a glance, she panicked when she realized that the calligraphy and paintings that normally hung around the house were gone!
"You can have this bowl, and I’ll exchange it for this painting," Gu Qingxue crisply told Erin, "but you still owe money, because the pictures in my painting are very pretty and bigger than yours, definitely worth more than your bowl."
Laki sharply turned her head to look over, and the paintings in Gu Qingxue’s hands, weren’t they the ones her husband had hung up?
She fiercely pulled at Sosif and whispered urgently, "Your paintings, those Array Maps drawn by the Array Master!"
This ink painting was no ordinary piece.
It was composed by a Core Formation Stage Array Master, designed as an Array Impression painting.
It stabilized the Dao Heart’s mood every day.
Sosif had initially spent a fortune to acquire it.
"I know," Sosif nonchalantly responded without even lifting his head.
Laki reached out to touch her husband’s forehead, wondering if he was feverish or feeling unwell?
Why was he so calm and composed?
Then she heard her daughter, Erin, turn back to Qingxue, "Okay then, how about I use these bottles of Elixir to pay you back? What do you think?"
Suddenly!
Laki sharply turned her head again towards the two little girls.
She saw that in her daughter Erin’s hands was the box her husband used for storing Elixirs.
And the usually treasured Elixirs, lined up inside, were also being given to the children to play with?
This was too wasteful!
Too damaging!
Gu Qingxue pouted and shook her head, "No way, my Wangcai won’t even eat these Elixirs, definitely not sothing valuable. In my house, these are used to feed the dogs. Find sothing else to compensate."
Erin muttered, "But my dad takes one of these every day, it should be valuable, right?"
Sosif: "..."
Laki couldn’t stand it anymore, ready to step forward to stop the children from playing with these things.
But Sosif held her back.
At that mont, the silent Guard Wang softly spoke, "Miss, the Lord should be returning soon; let’s head back, or the Lord might punish you with copying the Secret Technique mantra for sneaking out."
Gu Qingxue, who pretended not to hear, suddenly lifted her head upon hearing about the "copying Secret Technique" punishnt, and with her bright big eyes, reluctantly told Erin, "I have to go back now, co visit my house soday."
Erin, also reluctant, still managed to politely clutch Gu Qingxue’s arm and said, "Alright then, I’ll visit your house next weekend."
"Okay," Gu Qingxue nodded, happily then turned to look at Sosif and Laki sitting on the living room sofa, waving, "I am going back now, see you uncle, see you auntie."
Quite polite, indeed.
Laki also unconsciously waved back with a smile, "Okay, goodbye."
Then, with a wave of his hand, Guard Wang, along with Gu Qingxue and Wangcai, vanished on the spot!
This gave Laki quite a shock.
"Is this... Instant Teleportation?"
Sosif said, "That guard is at the Nascent Soul Stage!"
"The Nascent Soul Stage guard!" Laki’s voice shot up, "Are you kidding ? Which family can have a Nascent Soul Stage guard? Isn’t that the level of Star System Lords?"
Only then did Sosif walk over to tidy up the Elixirs and paintings, saying, "A family that commands a Nascent Soul Stage guard to call soone ’Miss’ and ’Lord’, who else could it be in this world?"
Erin said to her mother, "Mom, she’s my schoolmate."
Laki had already realized Gu Qingxue’s identity.
Looking at her daughter in disbelief, she couldn’t imagine her daughter having the opportunity to know such a young miss?
It was utterly inconceivable.
