Qin Xiao was completely numb.

Is this something I can hear?

Is this cunning woman going to kill me as soon as she wakes up?

Holy crap!

At this moment, in the living room on the first floor outside the door, Ye Qinghuan was sitting on the sofa, looking sullen.

He was playing with the golden-red tail of his tamed beast.

"Stinky Ahri, stinky mom!"

Ah Li looked helpless as she nestled in Ye Qinghuan's arms.

Suddenly, Ahri's ears twitched, revealing a hint of human-like confusion.

She looked up at the building.

"What's wrong, Ahri?"

Ye Qinghuan asked curiously.

Ahri ignored him and just looked upstairs, her fox face somewhat contorted.

Ye Qinghuan followed Ah Li's gaze and looked upstairs.

With a curious look on her face, she tiptoed upstairs.

Gradually, they approached the door of their mother's home office.

A strange, faint sound drifted over.

Curious, she pressed her ear against it.

Mmm~ Ah~ Ooh~

Hiss~

Her eyes widened. What was that sound?!

How could such an embarrassing sound be coming from the office of a mother who has been single for almost twenty years, that dignified and intellectual woman?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Something's strange, let's listen again!

After listening for another two minutes, the moans grew louder and louder.

Ye Qinghuan's face was also flushed, and her eyes were slightly moist.

Her mother is unclean!

Is this peer who is entering her home for the first time going to become her father?

Ye Qinghuan thought absurdly to herself.

Anyone could tell what was going on from that sound.

She's not a child anymore, and there were only two people, a man and a woman, inside. What else could they be doing?

She didn't know how she left her mother's room.

He stumbled down the stairs and sat on the sofa in a daze.

One moment they'd break down the door, go in, and catch the adulterers red-handed!

One moment it's about all the hardship my mother has endured raising me all by herself over the years!

Then, those random images of Mom appearing in there would flash by again!

She's so confused!

At such a young age, they are bearing a burden they shouldn't have to endure!

The proud little peacock lowered its head and drooped its tail feathers.

Regardless of Ye Qinghuan's thoughts, the treatment continued in the room.

Qin Xiao looked left and right, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Who knows if the woman is still conscious? He simply stood up and walked to the desk.

But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem like a good idea. What if there were any confidential documents? Wouldn't that make things even more complicated?

I went to the window and looked out at the garden behind.

Next to it is a prominent terrace.

These clothes are drying on the terrace.

Goodness, lace, openwork, pearls, and even open crotch designs!

It's over.

Qin Xiao felt that he was probably going to die.

He covered his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.

He wanted to be a good person, but reality didn't give him the chance!

He simply returned to the sofa and began to intently admire the mayor's dashing figure.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like the mayor's face turned a little red.

About ten minutes passed.

Ilya, looking somewhat tired, withdrew her skills.

The four hooves were somewhat unsteady.

Qin Xiao stepped forward, took out a spirit crystal, and handed it to her.

"Ilya, is there a problem?"

Ilya picked up a spirit crystal and absorbed it, speaking gently.

"Hmm, there's nothing seriously wrong, Master. However, this curse has been going on for quite a while, so you may need to continue treatment a few more times."

Qin Xiao nodded, "That's good, that's good."

Don't misunderstand!

It's not that I have any ulterior motives, it's just that I still need to undergo treatment a few more times, which means I'm not going to die yet.

After a long while, Ye Qingya, with her eyes tightly closed, did not open them.

However, from the slight blinking of the other person's long eyelashes, he knew that the other person had woken up.

Perhaps due to the awkwardness, neither of them spoke.

After a long pause, it was the mayor who had seen it all.

She composed herself, opened her eyes, and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Xiao Qin! I never expected you to give me such a pleasant surprise!"

"You're too kind, Mayor. It's my honor to be able to help you, and it's my duty!"

Qin Xiao's words were spoken with absolute conviction.

Ye Qingya paused almost imperceptibly.

This brat, if he hadn't looked like he wanted something from me, I would have actually believed him.

"Yes, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Xiao Qin. As promised, here are the lotus seeds and Huawu coins that have been transferred to you."

Without saying a word, the rich woman took out the reward before the treatment was even finished.

Qin Xiao accepted the lotus seeds. "Thank you, Mayor!"

Qin Xiao was in a great mood because the business was handled very efficiently.

"Mayor, I'll come back to treat you when Ilya is feeling a bit better."

Ye Qingya blushed slightly when this was mentioned.

"Ahem, alright then, Xiao Qin, you can go out first. You can talk to my daughter about that lava core. I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a bit, I won't see you off later."

Ye Qingya said, signaling the guests to leave.

Qin Xiao, naturally, stood up tactfully. "Then, Mayor, I'll take my leave."

He turned around and respectfully closed the study door.

Qin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the room, Ye Qingya also breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene from earlier unconsciously came to mind, and then suddenly remembering something, I stood up and went to the window.

His face instantly turned bright red!

"You little rascal!"

On the other side, the study door closed, and Qin Xiao went downstairs.

Ye Qinghuan, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head blankly.

Seeing Qin Xiao's beaming face, she instinctively shuddered.

"Y-you, you, you, how did you get out?!"

Qin Xiao looked puzzled and composed himself.

"Why can't I come out? Shouldn't I come out? I should naturally come out when it's all over. This is so strange."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao went downstairs and sat down on Ye Qinghuan's sofa.

"Hey, lava core, how much can you offer?"

Ye Qinghuan was still a little distracted when she heard Qin Xiao's words and subconsciously replied.

"You still want my money?!"

Qin Xiao laughed, "Hey~ Don't think that just because your mom gave me a little something, I'll give it to you for free. One thing at a time, understand?"

Besides, I earned my position with the mayor through my own abilities!

Ye Qinghuan's face turned completely red, filled with both anger and shame.

"You, you shameless, you scoundrel! Twenty million, you have to sell it to me!"

Well, so you've caught them in a forced sale. You're really good at scheming, just like your mother.

"Fine, I'll give it to you for the sake of the mayor. Transfer the money!"

Qin Xiao took out a large chunk of lava core directly.

Ahri on Ye Qinghuan's shoulder lit up and jumped up in a flash, clinging to her tightly.

He looked exactly like someone who had been inhaling catnip; his eyes were all darting around.

Qin Xiao's bracelet vibrated, indicating another 20 million had been deposited into his account.

Wow~ In less than three days, he earned 75 million. Is this the true value of a Beast Tamer?

Qin Xiao's smile was harder to suppress than his mother's.

Seeing Qin Xiao's appearance, Ye Qinghuan said with disdain.

"You scoundrel! Which Gold-tier secret realm are you planning to go to? And when?!"
