After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 496: The Naughty Child, Valentin (2/2)

If even Reiner can use the scepter, there is no reason why Aurora, as their descendant, cannot do so.

Aurora nodded and slowly stretched out her hand.

And Veroniya placed the staff on her finger.

A few seconds passed and nothing happened.

Veronia and Ilea secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The child, Villendil, also came over and asked in confusion: "Aunt Vilonya, what are you doing?"

Veroniya said gently, "It's an ancient test. Do you want to try it?"

"Come on! If Aurora is okay, I'm sure I'll be okay too!"

"Well, hold up a finger..."

"Can't I just catch him?" Valendil asked doubtfully.

"Well...it might be a little painful if it doesn't succeed." Veronia looked up at Reiner and Aliana, asking for their opinions.

Reiner shrugged indifferently. Even if he failed, the burn on his palm was easy to heal.

"Hey, a man is not afraid of pain!"

Ilea seemed to be trying to suppress a laugh, and Reiner was also trying to suppress a laugh.

Aurora watched with great interest.

Veroniya nodded: "Okay, you try it."

The child, Valentin, was anxious and immediately reached out to grab the scepter.

The next second, he pulled his hand back abruptly. When he opened his palm, he saw that his white and tender palm had been burned red. However, Velendil did not cry. He only complained, "Wow... It's so hot!"

It seems that Valendil is also unable to use the Scepter of the Burning Sun.

Reiner used hydrotherapy to heal his palm, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Weilundier began to be stubborn: "Normally, Dad, take me to play with my aunt. I miss her a little bit."

Reiner looked at Aliana, and she waved: "You send Valendil over first, and pick me and Aurora up later."

After a while, Reiner brought Villendir to his father-in-law's family home.

He reached out and knocked on the door, and within a few seconds, hurried footsteps were heard from inside the room.

Zephyros, in her pajamas and slippers, looked at the two people standing at the door with a confused look on her face: "Reiner? And... you damned brat!"

Valendil shouted, "Hello, Auntie!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into the house like a big black rat.

"Don't run around at home! I finally got home early today and was planning to take a nap, but you, a little brat, disturbed me!" Zephyrus cursed.

"Why aren't grandpa and grandma here?"

"It's not like they're idle all day, they work outside and only come back at night." Zephyrus pointed at him and started yelling, "Don't touch that flower! I worked so hard to raise it. If you break it, I'll beat you up later."

"Aunt! Where is my gift? You said you prepared a gift for me last time." Virundir shouted in the house.

Reiner also heard the sound of him rummaging through things, the sound of jingling and clanging.

This kid should be looking for Zephyros's equipment.

"What gift? Oh, oh, I remember now. Just wait." Zephyros turned her head and looked at Reiner, puzzled. "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come in."

Reiner waved his hand: "I won't come in. I have to go look for Aliana and Veroniya now. I'll come with Aliana later."

Zephyros narrowed her eyes and punched Reiner: "You are so lucky..."
