Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Chi Buwan turned back to look at Xiao Changqing and continued, "Another level 10 tornado struck, and he and I fell into the sea together. Instantly, a group of dolphins that could speak Mandarin came and gave me a luminous pearl. They bowed to us and shouted 'May you have a long and happy marriage!' My cruise ship found me on its own and rescued us. After that, we got to know each other."

Xiao Changqing exclaimed "Wow!", but the next second he realized something was wrong, "Dolphins..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Buwan nodded slightly.

Not too stupid.

"...Will the dolphins bring back the luminous pearl?" Xiao Changqing asked earnestly.

Is it too late?............

337:..........

Not Too Late: [Check whether his soul is Xuanqi or Xuanming.]

337:.......................

While they were talking, the servants had already brought the food and set it on the table.

Steamed grouper, braised sea cucumber with abalone sauce, chicken soup with aged fish maw, caviar and foie gras platter, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in golden broth...

There were more than 30 dishes in total, so many that it was dazzling to see them all.

luxurious.

Why didn't his father fabricate a background of top-tier wealthy businessmen for him and his mother, so that they could live a life of ease?

When he goes to Xingchenhai, he will definitely have a word with Lao Deng.

The smile on Butler Liu's face hadn't faded since Xiao Wuli stood up; it was gentle, kind, and showed genuine joy.

"Young Master Chi, I didn't know what you would like to eat, so I had the kitchen staff prepare some. I hope you won't find it unpalatable."

Chi Buwan looked at him and said, "You're too kind."

Butler Liu smiled broadly, "Then please enjoy your meal, Young Master Chi. I'll go attend to other matters."

After nodding late, he turned around and found that Xiao Wuli had already served him some food, all of which were dishes he often ordered when he occasionally went to restaurants.

He was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Wuli felt his gaze, and his hand holding the fish maw soup paused slightly. Then, a blush slowly crept up to the tip of his ear. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and placed the soup beside him.

"Brother, let me tell you, sister-in-law didn't lock herself in her room for a year like Uncle Liu said," Xiao Changqing said while eating. "Sometimes she would come out at noon and go out to eat at restaurants under my name."

Chi Buwan, who was already used to his nonsensical way of addressing her, twitched her ears slightly. Xiao Changqing suddenly became agitated and said, "Brother, you need to keep an eye on your sister-in-law! Do you know how heartless she is? She uses my name to go out and have fun, but she locks me up in this empty villa..."

"I didn't go out and play."

Before Xiao Changqing could finish speaking, Xiao Wuli interrupted him in a deep voice, turning his head to look at the person beside him. His dark eyes softened instantly. He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said softly, "I just wanted to try my luck and see if I could... see you."

Stop now, no matter how late.

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiao Changqing asked in confusion. "Did you see him?"

Xiao Wuli ignored him.

He spoke up rather late, "Did you see it?"

Xiao Wuli hesitated for half a second, then slowly nodded.

Xiao Changqing: ...........

Chi Buwan slightly bent his fingers, "How many times have we met?"

Xiao Wuli remembered it clearly: "19 times."

19 times.

Chi Buwan was stunned.

Xiao Wuli saw him 19 times that year, but he never saw him.

No way! That restaurant is very private. If Xiao Wuli saw him, then he would definitely be able to see him too, unless Xiao Wuli is very well hidden.

Chi Buwan carefully recalled the restaurant, constructing a mental image of the space. There was no hiding place along the way, and once he entered the private room, it would be even less likely that he would be seen.

Where is it hidden?

Chi Buwan regained his senses, focused his gaze, and looked at Xiao Wuli, who was nervously watching him with pursed lips, and said, "You can see me as many times as you want in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wuli relaxed his pursed lips, his dark eyes flashing, and nodded earnestly and solemnly, "Mm!"

Xiao Changqing: ?

He said these things to complain, not to make the two of them show affection in front of him.

.

[Host found!]

After dinner, 337 was scrolling through the screen when he suddenly spoke up.

[With the help of the Supreme God, I just found out why Xiao Wuli needed to borrow Xiao Changqing's name to leave the villa.]

Upon hearing this, Chi Buwan hooked his fingertip around Xiao Wuli's little finger and pricked up his ears to listen.

"A ferocious beast slumbers beneath this place," 337 said solemnly. "The Xiao family didn't initially rise to power through business, but through exorcism."

Five hundred years ago, hordes of demons and ghosts ravaged the human world, and humans were powerless to stop them.

Demons and ghosts don't eat people directly; instead, they like to tease and frighten people before swallowing them whole. So, if they encounter someone who can see them, they will definitely frighten them and then eat them. As for those who don't show any emotion, they will pick and choose which ones to eat.

Everyone is said to gain supernatural powers on their 18th birthday, but everyone knows that if you don't see demons or ghosts on your 18th birthday, you will never see them again. So at that time, many people would cover their eyes with a black cloth when they turned 18. If they were lucky, they would have a peaceful life; if they were unlucky, they would die without fear.

Xiao Zu was one of them, but he was different.

On his 18th birthday, even with the black cloth covering him, he still heard the voices of demons and ghosts.

They were discussing which family to eat human hearts at night, and the family they were discussing was the Xiao family's enemy.

Xiao Zu felt no joy, only silence. Finally, after some unknown thought, he removed the black cloth covering his eyes, took the longsword that the Xiao family had spent a fortune to protect him on his 18th birthday, rushed out the door, and killed the two evil spirits.

Everyone in the Xiao family saw his actions and stood there stunned.

Since then, the Xiao family has been frequently harassed by demons and ghosts, and the culprit, Xiao Zu, was driven out of the house.

After kowtowing three times in front of the door, Xiao Zu picked up his longsword and began his journey across the world.

Along the way, he met all sorts of like-minded people; wherever demons and ghosts wreaked havoc on the world, there they were.

Wherever they went, demons and ghosts were all eliminated.

Later, during their demon-slaying journey, they discovered clues about demons and ghosts wreaking havoc on the human world. Following these clues, they found the mastermind behind it all.

They desperately tried to kill the big boss, but all they got was to go up and die one by one.

Finally, the ferocious beast was sealed away, and only Xiao Zu remained among the group.

[...As time passed, the seal loosened, so it was necessary for a member of the Xiao family to remain here to suppress it. Currently, within the Xiao family, Xiao Wuli possesses the purest bloodline, followed closely by Xiao Changqing.]

337 paused, then said, "[So Xiao Wuli knew from a young age that after he turned 25, he could no longer step out of this villa.]"

Chi Buwan gasped for breath, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

Depend on!

Why does his wife suffer so much no matter where she is?

Even in such a harmonious society, we encounter such a fateful mission?!

So, the laws of nature mean his wife gets to bully him?

"Where is that ferocious beast?" Chi Buwan asked, holding Xiao Wuli's little finger with a serious expression.

337 raised his head and looked at a corner on the second floor of the villa.

Chi Buwan followed its gaze and did not notice Xiao Wuli, whose body suddenly tensed up.
