"I disagree!" Xiong Ge slammed the cleaver onto the cutting board with a "bang".

Xia Xiang/Jiu Wu: ......

"Do you have other opinions about Jiuwu?" Xia Xiang didn't deny it like before, but sincerely wanted to know why her mother disagreed.

“I have no other opinion, I just feel that you two are not a good match.” Xiong Ge suppressed the turmoil in his heart. “How old are you this year?! The difference between you is not only in age, but also in social experience, way of doing things, and ability to take risks.”

Xiong Ge is going crazy! What on earth is going on?!

"I'm sorry, Xiong-ge, it's all my fault."

Jiu Wu, who was watering flowers in the garden, hadn't even had time to put down the watering can when he teleported to the kitchen doorway.

"Alliance, Alliance Leader..."

She was so excited just now that she forgot the alliance leader was still in the garden...

Jiu Wu took a deep breath and continued, "We grew up together since we were little, spent every day together, understand each other's personalities, are from the same school, and have a common social circle."

"Although I don't want to admit it, we are definitely not together, and there has absolutely been no cross-border behavior between us."

With each word Jiu Wu spoke, Xiong Ge's face darkened further, and he rolled his eyes in anger.

"Shut up!" Xiong Ge was truly speechless. How could they not understand the situation? Was that even the point? The point right now was age!

Xia Xiang finally understands what rebellious psychology is. The more her mother opposes it, the more she feels that she has to do it.

"Mom, let's all calm down first." Xia Xiang's protective gesture of standing in front of Jiu Wu made Xiong Ge's temples throb.

"Today is an extremely Yin day. The Demon Realm will do everything in its power to close the portal between time and space. Now is not the time to discuss when or if we can be together."

Xiong Ge also remembered the most important thing right now, but he was still angry.

"Let's do the important things first, okay? Then we can come back and deal with me and Jiuwu." Xia Xiang wanted to put this matter aside for now, but then she checked the time. "It's getting late. Jiuwu and I will head back to the Ability Conversion Center first. Please be careful when you and Grandpa are protecting Dad."

Xia Xiang grabbed Jiu Wu's arm and walked out, leaving the Xia family home.

Xiong Ge looked helpless. It wasn't that she thought the two of them were incompatible, but rather that they weren't compatible right now.

If they were both adults now, she wouldn't have anything to worry about; the key issue is their current situation...

——

After Xia Xiang returned, she stayed at the ability conversion center to protect Scarface Jason, worried that the demon realm would come to take him away. Who knew that his father would be taken away first.

It's unclear what conditions Yehenara Xiongba used in exchange, but the Heavenly Demon Lord and the Illusionary Soul Demon Lord lured away her grandfather and mother respectively, while her own father was directly kidnapped.

"These two idiots, if Yehenara Xiong Ba succeeds, they'll have one more boss who can rival the Demon Lord. Will they be happier? Or do they want to change bosses?" Xia Xiang was anxious and kept pacing around, but she couldn't leave the Ability Conversion Center.

"Perhaps I should send someone to search," Xiu said with a grave expression.

"What about Xia Tian? Is she still at the 95 Virtual Guesthouse?" Xia Xiang asked after a moment of thought.

"Yes, Akou is here too. If anything happens, he will contact us immediately."

"Even though we've hidden summer away, I still have a sense of unease." Xia Xiang felt like she had fallen into a trap, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

“The curse of return is the father’s summoning of his son. Besides Xia Tian, ​​it could be Xia Yu or…” Xiu looked at Xia Xiang and then stopped talking.
