Looking back at Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun could clearly see the anger on his face.
Turning around with a calm gaze, Long Jiuri pressed his lips together, "Is there anything else?"
"Can you still call it a Spirit Beast if it attacks someone?"
Looking at Long Yangwu next to him with a pained expression, Long Xingguo said calmly, "Along with the earlier proposal from the Ye Family, I hope you can explain yourself."
Lu Zixun was utterly confused.
He hadn’t done anything; it had always been Long Yangwu who provoked the confrontation, and now Long Yangwu demanded an explanation from Long Jiuri.
Forgive Lu Zixun for being blunt, but wasn’t Long Xingguo being excessively biased?
Could it be that Long Jiuri was not his own son?
Just as Lu Zixun was about to burst out swearing, Xiong Kang quickly grabbed him into his arms.
He raised his hand to turn off the translator and covered his mouth.
Without the translator, Lu Zixun could only angrily scream. What was this supposed to mean?
Facing such partiality from Long Xingguo, Long Jiuri’s face was unusually calm.
Even the anger from before seemed as if it had been feigned.
A trace of mocking smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, Long Jiuri’s eyes fell on Long Xingguo, "Father, I believe at your age, you do not yet need reading glasses, do you?"
Faced with this remark from Long Jiuri, Long Xingguo trembled and stretched out a finger, stammering without being able to say a word.
"Big brother, you know father has not been in great health,"
Long Yangwu quickly stepped forward to support Long Xingguo, casting a cold glance at Long Jiuri, "Can’t you speak less?!"
This display of filial piety before him, when seen by Lu Zixun, appeared so... disgusting.
Frustrated, Lu Zixun simply buried his head in Xiong Kang’s arms, unwilling to watch the scene.
With a scoff, Long Jiuri shook his head, "Then, my brother, I hope you take good care of father and don’t engage in actions... worth less than trash."
Ignoring the yelling Long Yangwu, Long Jiuri gestured to Xiong Kang and turned away.
Driven by Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun lay next to Long Jiuri, looking at his icy face, wanted to say something, but at the moment didn’t know how to begin.
At that moment, the phone inside Long Jiuri’s combat uniform vibrated.
Staring at Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun noticed his icy expression melting away as if meeting the warm sun of spring.
Witnessing this through the rearview mirror, Xiong Kang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A gentle and soft voice came from Long Jiuri.
Lu Zixun couldn’t believe this was a voice Long Jiuri could produce.
"Yes, heading to Lingchuan now. Yaya completed her school entry test? Good, I will arrive in Lingchuan by tomorrow at the latest; I still have some work to hand over."
"Yaya wants to see me? Send the video over then."
Lying next to him and listening to this conversation, Lu Zixun also figured out who the mentioned Rong’er was.
Hearing about the video, Lu Zixun sat up and moved closer to Long Jiuri.
He was curious to see what the person who could instantly alter Long Jiuri’s mood looked like.
A graceful and tender woman appeared on Lu Zixun’s screen.
"Ah? Is this the cat that Yaya has been incessantly thinking about? Hello there."
"Ding—Detected a Love Value increase of +12000 from Tang Rongrong."
Evidently, Tang Rongrong had also seen Lu Zixun’s fluffy head and waved at the camera.
Hearing the System Prompt Sound, Lu Zixun realized that this was also a top-tier figure and quickly raised his paw to greet her.
Raising his hand, Long Jiuri rubbed Lu Zixun’s head and smiled at the phone camera.
Holding Long Ya on her lap, Tang Rongrong gave their father and daughter some time.
But before they could talk much, the phone ended up in Lu Zixun’s arms. Seeing Long Ya whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, Lu Zixun also started chatting.
On the way back to Xiong Kang’s home, Lu Zixun talked with Long Ya the entire time.
Eventually, it got too late, and Long Ya had to sleep; otherwise, they might have talked even longer.
Lu Zixun returned the phone to Long Jiuri, only to see Long Jiuri and Tang Rongrong talking, then their gaze fell on Lu Zixun as Long Jiuri beckoned him over.
A puzzled Lu Zixun walked over with his cat gait, only to hear Tang Rongrong’s gentle voice near his ear, "Orange Cat, when you return to Lingchuan City, can you continue protecting Yaya?"
Startled, Lu Zixun hesitantly said, "Um, sister-in-law? I want to stay by Siyin’s side, I should, probably, it seems, maybe...emm, can’t."
Not very good at refusing, Lu Zixun suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Tang Rongrong nodded slightly, smiling, "Then it’s alright, come over when you’re free, stay with Yaya."
After agreeing repeatedly, Lu Zixun looked up at Long Jiuri after hanging up the phone, "Ninth Brother, why do I still need to protect Yaya in Lingchuan City?"
Patting his shoulder as a signal for Lu Zixun to jump up, Long Jiuri, with a mysterious look, gazed at the road ahead, "Rong’er is worried. Even though Lingchuan is under my control, it’s possible that one or two members of the Alien Race might appear."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s whiskers trembled. Thinking of the Alien Race’s methods, he couldn’t help but frown.
"Where exactly does Yaya go to school? When Siyin goes to school, I will protect Yaya."
Turning his head to look deeply at Lu Zixun, Long Jiuri smiled and said, "That would be good. When we return to Lingchuan City, I’ll tell you the address."
Making a gesture towards Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun walked upstairs to the bedroom; he wanted to good news with Lin Siyin.
The next morning, before the sun even rose, Lu Zixun was woken by Xiong Kang.
Struggling to open his eyelids, Lu Zixun glanced at Xiong Kang, turned over, and fell back into slumber.
"Ding—Detected a Helplessness Value of +4000 from Xiong Kang."
After trying to wake a cat for ten minutes without success, Xiong Kang felt utterly disheartened.
Eventually, out of helplessness, Xiong Kang simply grabbed a bag, tossed Lu Zixun inside, and carried it away.
"The private plane is all set to go, Chunhua City..."
Hesitating, Zeng Haoyang sighed and looked at Long Jiuri, "Is it really okay to leave it to Long Yangwu?"
"With the Family Head of the Long Family providing strong security, Ye Changming won’t dare to overstep."
After a moment of silence, Long Jiuri let out a silent sigh, "We must catch Tan Ye soon. Once he allies with the Abnormal Creatures outside Crimson Land, the situation will become grave."
Xiong Kang, carrying Lu Zixun, overheard this and asked, "Ninth Brother, what exactly is Tan Ye going to all this effort for?"
As Long Jiuri placed some items bought for Long Ya into the trunk, he said lightly, "Competing for resources, enhancing strength."
