A-Gu sensed the coldness in the person beside him, took her hand, and silently stayed with her.

Hua Ansu took a breath, stepped forward, and said in a calm tone, "Miss Zhan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhan Xinjia stopped hitting Xiao Ai, looked up and glanced at Hua Ansu. She didn't recognize her, and a quick scan revealed that she was only a C-rank pharmacist... She asked impatiently, "What is it?"

Of course something happened.

There are many scores to settle between them.

"I watched Ms. Zhan's mecha skills competition three months ago and I admire her very much. Could you please sign your autograph for me?"

Her face made no attempt to hide her adoration.

So they were followers.

Zhan Xinjia felt a slight regret for hitting Xiao Ai in front of her fans, but she raised her head proudly and maintained her manners perfectly, saying, "Of course you can."

After signing his name for Hua Ansu, Zhan Xinjia nodded and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"You don't know, my Xiao Ai isn't in good health and always eats random things. I can't just ignore it."

Hua Ansu withdrew her gaze from Xiao Ai, "You are so kind-hearted."

Upon receiving the letter, Jia smiled reservedly.

After she left, Hua Ansu said, "Xiao Ai is a gift from me to her."

It was a nine-tailed silver fox cub that she brought back from a mission, and it was also the name she gave it. Because the little guy liked to make "ai ai" sounds back then, she named him Xiao Ai. When she brought him back, she saw that Zhan Xinjia liked it, so she gave it to her.

Zhan Xinjia used to treat Xiao Ai very well, cherishing her like a precious gem. But now... Thinking of how fiercely Zhan Xinjia hit Xiao Ai just now, Hua Ansu felt furious. Xiao Ai is a nine-tailed silver fox, and in terms of bloodline, she is no less than Ah Hu, yet she has ended up being treated like this!

"Ai-gu, 'Xiao Ai is often abused.'"

He had many old scars on his body, invisible to the naked eye, and his body was very weak. The fact that the beast was able to snatch the bone from his hand was because he had tacitly approved it.

Xiao Ai stared at him for a long time before making a move. He then examined the beast and, finding it to be neither threatening nor particularly timid, acquiesced.

Hua Ansu frowned. She had been too preoccupied with her thoughts and hadn't paid attention to anything else. "I want Xiao Ai back."

"good."

Hua Ansu didn't expect to run into Zhan Xinjia on her first day back in Xixia, but her anger was only momentary. Once she left the hotel, she treated him with a fresh perspective.

Royal Palace.

The Queen's personal maid, Chi Jie, received the two.

"You are the descendants of the Dai family, the pharmacists?"

The two men knelt down and said, "Yes, sir."

“Lift your head up so I can see.”

Two unfamiliar faces, their eyes filled with panic at the majestic palace. Chi Jie frowned slightly. This man felt strangely familiar to her, as if she had seen him somewhere before. However, both of their identities were real, and the records clearly showed that this was their first time in the capital. She shouldn't have seen them before, and both of them had passed through layers of tests to come before her. She must be overthinking it.

"Come with me."

"Here you go."

The king's bedroom.

A-yi-gu took Sui-you's pulse through a silver thread.

Inside the tent, Suiyou's figure was blurry, her eyes closed as if she were dozing.

Hua An stared intently at her. "It's been so long! How did you get sick? Did Chi Jie not take good care of you?"

A-Yi-Gu withdrew his hand, and Chi-Jie stepped forward, "How was it?"

The young man's eyes remained calm. "I wish to speak with Your Majesty about your condition privately."

This statement is far too presumptuous.

Chi Jie frowned, annoyed, and was about to lash out when Sui You spoke up, "Then stay."

Her voice sounded a bit hoarse, and she seemed quite fragile.
