Chapter 63

While Ji Fang was resting, Wei Liangguan brought Xiao Guai over.

Xiao Guai was still cheerful, but when she saw Ji Fang, she became timid and scared, keeping her distance from him.

When Xiao Guai met Qiao Ye, she was a little reserved at first, probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time and she felt a bit unfamiliar with him.

However, after the two shared food, Xiao Guai became more attached to Qiao Ye.

Before Xiao Guai arrived, Qiao was curled up on the sofa watching a horror movie about this world. The horror elements in the movie were related to strange beasts and it was set near the Ghost Plains Forest.

For Qiao, the horror wasn't that scary; it was just that the scene was a bit bloody and violent.

Wei Liangguan wanted to hug Qiao Ye, but Xiao Guai was easily jealous. Whenever he hugged Qiao Ye, Xiao Guai would squeeze in and cause trouble, insisting that his master hug him. After trying a few times, Wei Liangguan gave up.

But Wei Liangguan was still very excited to see Qiao Ye: "Little Qiao Ye, what are you watching? Oh, a horror movie! Can you understand it?"

Joe also sent him a message with six dots.

Wei Liangguan wasn't angry at being mocked by the six points, and instead asked what he was curious about: "Qiao Ye, can you communicate with your kind? I want to know what Xiao Guai is thinking. Can you translate it?"

Qiao looked at Xiao Guai and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Wei Liangguan thought for a moment and said, "Can Xiao Guai understand what I'm saying?"

Qiao also asked Xiao Guai, who replied to Wei Liangguan: "[She can understand normal conversations]."

Wei Liangguan: "Then why does he sometimes ignore me?"

Qiao Ye: [He'll talk to you if he wants to, and ignore you if he doesn't.]

Wei Liangguan sighed: "If only it could have a terminal like you and talk to me, but I tried and it's impossible to install a chip terminal on it. Why can you?"

Qiao Ye: [I'm different from him, we can't compare.]

Wei Liangguan patted Qiao Ye's head and grinned, "Oh, you're quite proud of yourself!"

Ji Fang accompanied Qiao Ye to watch a horror movie, but now, with Wei Liangguan and Xiao Guai's arrival, the movie lost all its scary atmosphere. Listening to his friend's conversation with the original man, he explained to Wei Liangguan, "Qiao Ye possesses mental power; his mental power is quite high."

Wei Liangguan looked at his little darling and said, "I had it tested for mental strength a few days ago. It turns out that Primals do have mental power, but most of them have very low levels, not reaching the level of a normal ordinary Cohen. Little Darling is only slightly higher than an ordinary Primal. Sigh, your Joe is truly a unique Primal."

"By the way, how much mental strength does Qiao Ye have?" Wei Liangguan asked curiously.

Ji Fang said, "I haven't measured it, but it should be about the same height as mine, quite tall."

Wei Liangguan grabbed a cushion and threw it at Ji Fang: "I'll fight you gifted creatures! So what if you have high mental strength?"

Ji Fang caught the pillow with one hand, then tossed it over, giving his friend a provocative look: "So what if you have high mental strength? If you're so capable, beat me!"

Joe was engrossed in watching his horror movie. He didn't like giving up halfway through. But as the plot reached its second half, the scenes suddenly became more intense, and Joe felt a bit uncomfortable and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the image of that strange beast, resembling both a sea anemone and an earthworm, with its gaping maw full of sharp teeth, filled the screen. Qiao was startled and instinctively hid in Ji Fang's arms.

Ji Fang spared a bit of attention and patted Qiao Ye's back in his arms. Qiao Ye nestled in Ji Fang's arms, holding Ji Fang's fingers and continuing to watch nervously.

Seeing this, Wei Liangguan said in a sly tone, "You're still hiding in his arms? The scariest person is your master. Do you believe he can slice one of the little Yuan people in half with a single stroke, then cut you into eight pieces and eat you?"

Qiao wasn't intimidated by him and rolled her eyes at him.

Wei Liangguan grabbed Qiao Ye's foot, shook it, and continued to harass him: "You don't believe me? You haven't seen him kill the alien beast with his bare hands. That scene is much bloodier than this horror movie. Look at your master watching this movie, he didn't even blink."

Joe tried to pull his leg back, but couldn't. When he saw that Wei Liangguan was about to smell his feet, he shuddered and tried to struggle to stand up. However, under the power of the Cohen people, unless Wei Liangguan wanted to let him go, the original man had no chance of struggling.

Then Qiao was aroused and Wei Liangguan, who was teasing the original man, kissed his foot.

Why are there such perverted people?!

Qiao used to think of himself as a cat lover, and that kissing cats' paws was cute, but when it came to being kissed himself, he just couldn't accept it.

Joe was shocked and confused, and texted: "Why did you kiss my feet?"

Wei Liangguan: [Your feet are so soft and cute!]

Qiao also declared righteously: "You're not allowed to kiss my feet anymore. I find it very offensive!"

Wei Liangguan caught his pet to demonstrate, grabbing Xiao Guai's hand and giving it a kiss.

Joe was exasperated: "How can hands and feet be the same?"

Wei Liangguan didn't notice anything different because Xiao Guai often crawls on the ground, and her hands are also her feet. He kissed Xiao Guai's feet again.

Then Wei Liangguan looked at Qiao Ye's shocked and bewildered appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing their interaction, Ji Fang asked, "What's wrong?"

Joe was also a little upset: "He kissed my feet."

Wei Liangguan only vaguely heard the words "he kissed me," and said somewhat exaggeratedly, "He can still talk? He seems to dislike me that much!"

Ji Fang carried Qiao Ye in his arms, touched the foot that had been kissed, as if to erase the mark, then kissed the instep as well, and said, "It's alright now."

It's as if this would cover up other people's traces.

Joe was stunned.

Qiao curled up completely, even her toes curled up.

When Wei Liangguan kissed his feet, he felt like he was about to let out a screeching sound like a groundhog. But when Ji Fang kissed his feet, he felt his pores stand on end, and an indescribable tingling sensation swept through his entire body.

He knew that in the eyes of the Cohen people, the Primal Man was fragrant and soft, and could even heal the spirit; the Cohen people liked to touch and kiss the Primal Man's skin.

But how could I kiss his feet? That's too...

Well, maybe he's being too sensitive. In other people's eyes, he's just a pet that the Cohen people can keep and play with.

Seeing him nestled in his arms, motionless, his eyes wide as if he had been startled, Ji Fang was puzzled. He rubbed his feet again and asked, "What's wrong? Still feeling wronged? I won't let him get close to you anymore!"

Wei Liangguan was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "Germany, like father, like son!"

Qiao took a deep breath and pulled his foot away. It was all his fault. He would wear shoes when he went on the sofa from now on!

The two didn't think there was anything wrong with kissing their pet. Wei Liangguan and Ji Fang continued to talk about the Lu family. Lu Xiangjun was saved, which involved the weighing of multiple forces, and several forces were watching Ji Fang.

Ji Fang was well aware of his position. Although he did not want to participate in the struggle, he was often forced by circumstances to do so. He had his own plans and arrangements.

Wei Liangguan brought news that his family intended for the Third Princess to marry him.

Upon hearing this news, Ji Fang and Qiao Ye both looked over, somewhat surprised.

Qiao was also shocked. Wei Liangguan, this playboy who didn't discriminate between men and women, actually managed to take such a big advantage. The beautiful Third Princess was about to be ruined by this guy!

Ji Fang, however, considered things more carefully: "Have you thought this through? I don't think this is a good time."

Wei Liangguan said casually, spreading his hands: "There are some things I can't decide either. You know that although I can sit in this position, I don't have as much say as you. It's certain that I will make necessary sacrifices for the family. Besides, that third princess is beautiful and lovely. I quite like her."

After finishing his own story, Wei Liangguan turned to his friend: "What about you? You're older than me, you should have settled your personal life a long time ago."

Ji Fang didn't discuss his feelings on this matter, directly refusing: "I spend most of my time on the border, walking on the edge of death, why should I delay others?"

Wei Liangguan scoffed, "Boring. Ever since I've known you, you've always been so serious. Are you impotent?"

Wei Liangguan's gaze fell on the inappropriate part, and he muttered, "Could it be that it's a case of 'use it or lose it,' and has degenerated from not being used for a long time? Should I find you something tonight... Ouch!"

Wei Liangguan was covered by a pillow by Ji Fang, and he surrendered without saying a word.

Qiao was also happy to see this. His master was not like some people who were promiscuous and fickle. Even though he raised a primitive human, he was a devoted and loyal master!

Wei Liangguan then brought up the issue of conscription, expressing his concern about the workload and the fact that due to the declining birth rate, no one wanted to raise children.

Most children are produced in a certain number through technology to ensure the country's normal population. They are raised in welfare homes. These children have the desire to join the army, but they are all snatched up by the First and Second Armies.

Joe didn't understand the intricacies either, and it was none of his business anyway. After listening for a while, he shifted his attention to the horror movie he hadn't finished watching yet.

Although Ji Fang was at home, he didn't have much time to play with Qiao Ye. He was almost always out early and back late, and when he came back, he would have to attend holographic meetings. Li Cheng would also bring him various documents to sign.

Based on the information he heard, Qiao also estimated that Ji Fang would soon be away on another long-term mission.

I wonder if Ji Fang will really take me with him, otherwise I'll be very bored by myself.

Well, Qiao also discovered that she actually has a high need for companionship. Before, she didn't have a stable close relationship, and although she felt lonely, she could tolerate it.

Now they have a stable relationship, although it's a bit strange as it's master-pet dynamic, but Joe enjoys the close and secure relationship they have together.

Ji Fang only attended one meeting today and wasn't very busy. Qiao took the racket off the shelf, walked over to Ji Fang, and said, "Master, play ball with me."

Ji Fang stretched his limbs to relax his tired posture, picked up his racket: "Okay, I'll play with you. Do you know how to play?"

Joe picked up his racket, eager to try it out. It's just badminton, right? Although this shuttlecock was a bit bigger than the ones he was used to, and the racket was also a bit bigger, it should be fine. He decided to play it like tennis.

Qiao also wanted to exercise, but he ended up being beaten by Ji Fang. He couldn't match Ji Fang's stamina and endurance, and he ended up sweating profusely and panting heavily.

If you don't exercise for a long time, you can't stand exercising for a short while.

Based on her previous kidnapping incident, Joe has incorporated improving her physical fitness into her daily routine, running a few laps every morning to increase her exercise and gradually train herself.
