After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 562 This world is too weird
There was a chaotic noise coming from the other end of the phone, as if Long Weihua had knocked over the teacup.
After a moment, he said in a calm voice, "Ms. Huo, according to special regulations, this level of ancient beasts needs to be immediately evaluated for safety and have their identities marked..."
"No need."
Huo Qinghuang interrupted him, "Zhu Yan has already recognized me as its master. As long as no one provokes it, it will not go crazy."
“…”
Long Weihua swallowed and wanted to say, Auntie, that is the ferocious beast Zhu Yan!
He is born violent and can kill a large number of people with one roar. Who can be at ease?
But Huo Qinghuang was obviously just informing him and would not change his mind because of his words.
"I'll hang up now if I'm fine. By the way,"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes flickered, and he said, "Let the old man come back. After a while, I'll give you a favor."
"Benefits? What benefits?"
Long Weihua was delighted and was about to continue asking questions, but found that the call had been hung up.
After pacing around for a while, feeling anxious, he finally remembered to inform Huo Yuheng.
"Hey, Minister Huo, your daughter is calling you home. She said there's something good going on. I don't know what it is. Okay, put aside what you're doing and go back to see what's going on..."
…
The Huo family’s old house.
Huo Qinghuang stood with his hands behind his back in front of the French window in the hall, looking at the night view in the yard.
Zhu Yan was curiously fiddling with the smart home control panel and accidentally pressed the speaker switch.
The sudden sound of rock music scared it and revealed its true form. The three-meter-tall giant ape almost broke through the ceiling.
Without even turning his head, Huo Qinghuang snapped his fingers and a golden light flashed, and Zhu Yan returned to the size of a palm.
"Master, Master,"
Zhu Yan held his tail and said aggrievedly, "This thing in the human world is too weird..."
Huo Qinghuang raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Just get used to it."
At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from far away, and a beam of light penetrated the night and slowly drove into the courtyard of the Huo family's old house.
Huo Qinghuang's eyes moved slightly, and with a glance of his spiritual sense he knew that it was Huo Yuheng's car that drove into the courtyard.
She tapped her fingertips lightly, and the lights in the room automatically brightened a little.
Zhu Yan pricked up his ears alertly and was about to rush to the window to check, but was held in place by an invisible force.
"Just stay quiet."
Huo Qinghuang gave the order without even turning his head.
The car door opened, and Huo Yuheng's steps were obviously faster than usual, with beads of sweat visible on his forehead.
"Qing Huang, Long Weihua said you have something to ask me..."
Huo Yuheng pushed open the door to the living room and stopped talking abruptly.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared in amazement at the little red-haired monkey squatting on his daughter's shoulder, grinning at him.
"Why do you want to raise a monkey? This thing is very naughty, jumping up and down all day long. How about we get a different pet?"
Huo Yuheng wiped his face and patiently introduced to his daughter the pets he thought were cuter.
"As a girl, it would be better to raise a few rabbits, or alpacas, or sika deer, etc. They are cuter than monkeys, right?"
Before Huo Yuheng finished his words, the harmless-looking little monkey that was squatting on his daughter's shoulder suddenly roared!
"I am Zhu Yan, not some monkey!!"
Huo Yuheng was so shocked by the sudden roar that he took three steps back and his back slammed against the door frame.
He stared with wide eyes, looking at the palm-sized red-haired little monkey whose hair stood up, creating visible scarlet ripples in the air.
"A talking monkey?!"
Zhu Yan became even more furious upon hearing this. His body swelled to more than two meters tall, and his murderous aura directly shattered the crystal chandelier in the living room.
Huo Yuheng widened his eyes, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
"You, you really are the ancient vicious beast Zhu Yan?!"
His voice trembled, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
Zhu Yan grinned, revealing his sharp white fangs, his eyes were bloodshot, and his momentum was as overwhelming as a landslide or tsunami:
"Why? You don't welcome me?"
Huo Yuheng only felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, as if he was facing a prehistoric beast, and even breathing became difficult.
"Do you want to die?"
Huo Qinghuang's face darkened slightly and he slapped Zhu Yan on the forehead.
Zhu Yan's huge body trembled, and turned into the size of a palm again, squatting on the ground dejectedly.
It actually looks a bit pitiful.
"This is Zhu Yan."
Huo Qinghuang turned around, looked at Huo Yuheng, and said calmly, "The ancient fierce beast is now my spiritual pet."
The briefcase in Huo Yuheng's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
As a senior executive of a special department, he knew very well what the "seeing the enemy, send in the troops" recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas meant.
It means that when Zhu Yan appears, there will be great war and chaos in the world.
It portends something ominous.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan became proud again, waving his fists and threatening unwillingly: "I am the ferocious beast Zhu Yan! Back in the prehistoric times..."
"That's enough."
Huo Qinghuang said this lightly, and Zhu Yan's fist stopped abruptly in mid-air.
It retracted its fist in embarrassment, but still bared its teeth at Huo Yuheng: "Old man, remember this, if you dare to offend me, I will make you pay!"
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly.
Zhu Yan has a vicious temper, and it would probably take some effort to make him stay in the Huo family and not cause trouble.
Huo Yuheng's legs went weak and he had to hold on to the door frame to avoid collapsing on the ground.
His lips trembled as he looked at his daughter: "Qing Huang, what, what is going on?"
Huo Qinghuang did not answer, but walked up to the old man and touched his forehead with her fingertips.
Huo Yuheng suddenly felt a cool breath flowing into his limbs and bones, and the fear he had just felt instantly dissipated.
"Let's talk about it after Big Brother and the others arrive."
Huo Qinghuang shook his head.
Since this matter concerns the Huo family, several people must be informed. Let's talk about it after everyone is present, so that she doesn't have to waste any more words.
As soon as he finished speaking, a scolding voice came from afar.
"Let me go! I can walk on my own!"
It’s Huo Lingfeng.
"Butler Wang said Qing Huang is looking for us, but we don't know what it is. You are moving as fast as a turtle. I will take you with me so that Qing Huang won't get impatient waiting."
"Huo Laowu!"
Huo Lingfeng was furious, "I can walk on my own. What a shame!"
"What's the matter? You are in your own home, what are you afraid of?"
Huo Lingchuan's disapproving voice was heard, and soon, his figure appeared in the yard.
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows.
Huo Lingchuan was seen holding Huo Lingfeng by the back of the collar as if he was holding a chicken, and walking into the living room with big strides.
Huo Lingfeng is 1.8 meters tall, but in the hands of Huo Lingchuan, who is as strong as a mountain, he looks like a little bird, fragile and vulnerable.
As soon as they stepped over the threshold, they saw Huo Yuheng slumped by the door, and in front of him, a little red-haired monkey was grinning at him.
"dad!"
Huo Lingchuan rushed forward and helped the old man up, then turned around and glared at Zhu Yan: "Where did this monkey come from? Steward Wang, throw it out!"
Zhu Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he was about to attack, but was stopped by Huo Qinghuang with a look.
She said calmly: "Fifth brother, put the second brother down."
