Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 373 Panic
"Mother, Commander Yue suddenly brought up the matter of forming a bond. Did you ask him to ask that?" After the celebration banquet, Lin Mo anxiously found Lin Yuzhi and pressed her for an answer.

"Shouldn't I ask? Whether it's personal ability or family background, you're no worse than Yu Mingche. You've been by Ning Xuan's side for longer than Yu Mingche. Why should Yu Mingche be superior to you?" Lin Yuzhi said irritably.

"This was arranged by Ning Xuan. She is the contract master, and she can arrange things however she wants. I have no objection at all. Why are you making things difficult?" Lin Mo complained.

Lin Mo was very flustered. Ning Xuan had always been strong and domineering, and she hated it when others interfered in her affairs. Some time ago, Yu Mingche had somehow offended her, and Ning Xuan had given him a good beating.

Now that her mother had actually asked someone to force her to hold a marriage ceremony, would Ning Xuan think that he had instigated her mother? The more Lin Mo thought about it, the paler his face became. He was not favored to begin with and didn't have many opportunities to spend time with Ning Xuan. If Ning Xuan disliked him because of this, would he be unable to see Ning Xuan at all in the future?

Lin Mo arrived at Ning Xuan's residence with trepidation, but hesitated to knock on the door.

He stared at the dark gate and paced back and forth in front of it.

"Come in if you want, or get out. What are you doing wandering around outside?" Ning Xuan's cold voice came from inside.

"Master, may I go in?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly.

The door creaked open. Ning Xuan was wearing a moon-white outer robe, with only a simple hairpin in her hair. The clothes under the robe were disheveled and looked very unkempt.

During Ning Xuan's stay at the Qingluan Mountain villa, Yu Mingche took care of her, wiping her face and hands, dressing her and combing her hair. Ning Xuan had gotten used to it, so she was a little unhappy when she changed her clothes herself and made a mess of it.

The way she slightly furrowed her brows sent a shiver down Lin Mo's spine.

"I brought Yan Fuzhen with me to the base this time. If you don't take care of things in the house, do you expect Yan Fuzhen to take care of them? I went through a lot of trouble to save you, and I haven't fully recovered yet. You just got promoted and you can't even do the work of taking care of people?" Ning Xuan said angrily.

"Of course not, Lin Mo is willing to serve you." Lin Mo suddenly raised his voice, then immediately lowered his head in annoyance.

Ning Xuan turned and went into the house, instructing, "Come in, close the door."

Upon hearing Ning Xuan's words, Lin Mo immediately felt relieved. Ning Xuan went inside, and Lin Mo followed her in. His eyes were bright, and his hands and feet moved nimbly.

Lin Mo quickly helped Ning Xuan change her clothes. "Master, thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't arrived in time, I definitely wouldn't be alive." Lin Mo looked at Ning Xuan with sincere eyes.

"You know that's good. I've fulfilled my responsibilities as the contract master," Ning Xuan said casually.

After that, neither of them mentioned Yue Qingtian's question about when they would become sworn brothers, avoiding the topic as if it had never been brought up before.

"Master, Little Tiger is injured. Can it rest here with you tonight?" Lin Mo handed a white tiger cub to Ning Xuan.

Seeing Lin Mo carefully holding something, Ning Xuan couldn't help but curiously come closer to take a look. She saw that it was a snow-white tiger cub. The little guy was no bigger than the palm of her hand, but it already showed a majestic demeanor.

Its fur was fluffy and soft, like smooth silk, with a faint golden stripe on its forehead, resembling the character "王" (king). This cub was somewhat similar in size and fur to Little White, but this cub blinked a pair of round blue eyes, its gaze lively and somewhat mischievous.

Its ears twitched slightly, as if it were surveying its new surroundings.

Its claws were fleshy, yet sharp tips were already visible. It was gently tugging at Lin Mo's sleeve, as if it couldn't wait to jump down and explore.

Ning Xuan's gaze softened slightly as she looked at the little guy.

Ning Xuan reached out and gently stroked the tiger cub's head, her fingertips sinking into the soft fur, which felt wonderful to the touch.

The tiger cub had just received spiritual healing from Guo Ningxuan and was naturally close to her, unable to resist. When Ningxuan touched it, the tiger cub immediately raised its head, rubbed against her palm, made a soft purring sound in its throat, and even proudly curled the tip of its tail, clearly enjoying her caress.

Ning Xuan's lips curled up slightly as she reached out and took the tiger cub: "Okay, let it sleep here with me tonight."

As soon as Ning Xuan took him, the tiger cub immediately rolled around happily in her arms, rubbing its fluffy head against her arm and wagging its tail joyfully.

Ning Xuan couldn't resist the allure of the fluffy creature. She gently tapped the tiger cub's nose, and the little guy immediately stuck out his pink tongue and licked her finger, his eyes sparkling with affection.

“Naughty,” she whispered, her tone very gentle.

Seeing that Ning Xuan had left his companion spirit behind, Lin Mo felt much more at ease. With Ning Xuan by his side, Xiao Hu would surely recover quickly.

As Lin Mo approached Ning Xuan, Lin Yuzhi was complaining to Yue Qingtian that Ning Xuan refused to give her son a proper status, that the heir the Lin family had been grooming for so long had been snatched away by Ning Xuan, and that Ning Xuan didn't seem to value Lin Mo much.

"Dean Lin, would you be happy if Miss Ning were willing to set Lin Mo free?" Yue Qingtian asked.

"Yue Qingtian, what do you mean? My son and Ning Xuan are doing just fine, what are you saying?" Lin Yuzhi was unhappy.

“You just said that Ning Xuan kidnapped him, didn’t you? If you don’t want to, you can go and get him back. Lin Mo is probably with Miss Ning right now,” Yue Qingtian said.

Lin Yuzhi rolled her eyes at Yue Qingtian. "They have already formed a bond. Although there was no ceremony, they have established a spiritual link. My son and Ning Xuan have a 96% genetic compatibility. It was a forced match by the main brain."

"If it weren't for such a high degree of compatibility, how could Lin Mo have been saved from such severe injuries?" Lin Yuzhi said with pride.

Yue Qingtian looked at Lin Yuzhi's smug expression and couldn't help but turn his head away. However, he was very envious. Being able to match a master with a genetic compatibility of over 90%, and this master was also a high-level spirit controller, meant that even if Lin Mo suffered severe injuries, he could be saved by the master.

They have more life protection than others for no reason.

"Since you're so satisfied with your contractual relationship, why are you complaining about how they took your son away? I didn't know before, but someone just reminded me that Yu Mingche is also Ning Xuan's contractor, and he didn't hold a ceremony with Miss Ning, right?" Yue Qingtian asked, raising an eyebrow.
