Seeing Du Rong go from anticipation to despair, Chen Xiao actually felt a little guilty.
He said to Du Rong, "Don't underestimate this little lamb, but it tried its best to save me at the critical moment of life and death. In order to prevent it from dying, I had no choice but to contract it. Because of my contract, Xiao Ba will always be this size and will not grow any bigger. Even if it is released, it cannot survive independently and will die soon. So, please take good care of it, Uncle Rong."
Du Rong quickly calmed down his chaotic emotions and said solemnly: "Since Xiao Ba has such a connection with the master, I will definitely take good care of it to fulfill the master's wishes."
With Chen Xiao's speed of making money and his rapidly rising career, adding another mouth to feed is nothing to the Chen family.
But when he thought about how he had just tried his best to affirm in front of Wan Qing that Xiao Ba was a powerful species, Chief Steward Du felt embarrassed.
He thought about it and decided to continue to treat Xiao Ba as an unusual creature, so that Wan Qing and Qian Chuan would remain in awe of him, in order to avoid any other changes caused by this incident.
——For example, because of the huge psychological gap, the enthusiasm of both people to work is affected.
After talking about Xiao Ba, Chen Xiao asked Du Rong about the current situation of the Chen family in Fan Village.
Du Rong invited Chen Xiao to the study to talk, and told him in detail about the rumors and disguised isolation that the Chen family had encountered in Fan Village.
Chen Xiao looked solemn. He had never thought that the Chen family, which had already taken root in Fan Village, would find it difficult to survive because of the consequences of the original incident.
"Uncle Rong, you handled this matter very well." Chen Xiao looked at Du Rong gratefully, "Fortunately, I let you go on this trip, otherwise who knows what will happen next."
Du Rong did not take any credit for it. "This is my responsibility. The master is overpraising me."
Chen Xiao sighed and asked, "Are they used to it after going to the county town?"
"Don't worry, master. We have the help of our subordinates and family members. Your uncle will soon find a job. As a family, we will work together and live a good life."
Du Rong was quite confident about this. After all, he was already a foundation-building cultivator, and this time he returned home and gave his family a large subsidy. With a strong backer and a rich family fortune, the Du family could be said to have entered the upper class of the county.
With the Du family's support, even if the Chen family cannot become extremely wealthy, a comfortable and secure life is within their reach.
Chen Xiao was relieved and turned to ask about the current situation of the Du family. Afterwards, Du Rong asked about the progress of Chen Xiao's treatment, and Chen Xiao told him the good news.
After chatting about some recent family events, Du Rong handed the matters he had sorted out during this period to Chen Xiao.
Although Chen Xiao was away during this period, people kept coming to visit him.
Many people wanted to establish a relationship with him, but they were all dismissed by Du Rong. Those who left messages and contact information were all potential customers who had various problems at home or in their sect that could not be solved, and wanted to come to Chen Xiao to seek a solution with Feng Shui.
Chen Xiao and Du Rong discussed and dealt with all the accumulated matters, and it was already dark when they finished.
Wan Qing had already prepared the meal. Although she was a little timid and not very presentable, she was a good cook. What was rare was that the dishes were home-cooked dishes that Chen Xiao was used to.
It was thanks to her cooking skills that Wan Qing didn't live in fear all day, fearing that she would be driven away at any time.
Liu Lang had returned a long time ago. He went to see Ye Jinglan with trepidation and excitement, but Ye Jinglan was not there, leaving him disappointed.
After the teacher and student had dinner, they said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.
After washing up, Chen Xiao sat at the round table in the bedroom in his pajamas, continuing the unfinished work while waiting for Xi Yunting to come back.
After experiencing ecstasy during the day and dealing with a bunch of things when he came back, Chen Xiao felt exhausted and started yawning.
"Why don't you sleep if you're sleepy?" Xi Yunting's voice rang out.
Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes, smiled and stood up, "I'm waiting for you."
Under the warm light, Chen Xiao's sleepy smile was filled with an unmistakable attachment, which made Xi Yunting walk over quickly, hug him and give him a deep kiss.
Although Xi Yunting was satisfied every day by the daily intimacy, he would always have a new desire for Chen Xiao every new day, making him unable to suppress the urge to get close to him and possess him.
The kiss between the two of them became deeper and deeper, Xi Yunting's hands went deep into Chen Xiao's wide pajamas collar and rubbed his body. Just as he was about to take a step further, Du Rong's footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.
Xi Yunting frowned unhappily, quickly let go of Chen Xiao, and at the same time pulled his messy pajamas straight.
After the knock on the door, Du Rong said in an uneasy and ashamed voice, "Excuse me for disturbing you, Master. Your spirit beast refuses to rest and is looking for you. I really have no other choice. Please give me some instructions, Master."
He felt deeply ashamed at the moment. As a steward, he couldn't even settle such a small matter. He was so incompetent that he could only come to Chen Xiao for help. This could be said to be a failure as a steward.
But he really had no choice.
He prepared a comfortable pen for Xiao Ba, but Xiao Ba refused to go in. Later, thinking that it was a wild sheep and might not be adapted to the pen, he built a grass nest to imitate the wild environment.
As a result, Xiao Ba liked this grass nest very much, and he lay down after entering it. Du Ronggang thought that everything was fine and they could go to sleep, but Xiao Ba stood up and started to walk around, obviously looking for something.
Du Rong thought it was hungry again, so he made some vanilla-flavored powder water for it, but it didn't calm Xiao Ba down.
It was not until it found the passage leading to the second floor and began to climb up the stairs one step at a time that it realized that Xiao Ba was looking for Chen Xiao.
Wanqing and Qianchuan had never seen an animal that could climb stairs, so they stood there in amazement, staring at it stupidly. It was Du Rong who rushed forward, hugged Xiao Ba and carried him down.
Xiao Ba was unhappy about being blocked from climbing the stairs, and he kicked and stomped Du Rong rudely, bleating angrily.
A few steps are no match for the brave Xiao Ba, who can climb walls and run across rooftops to save his master in times of crisis... He is just a sheep!
Xiao Ba has the courage to overcome all obstacles between him and his master. No one can stop him from sleeping in the comfortable grass nest next to his master, not even the rude and clumsy man who just fed him and was uncomfortable holding the sheep.
It's a pity that Du Rong couldn't understand its protest. Butler Du was determined not to let anyone disturb the patriarch's peace at night, not even the patriarch's soul beast.
Although he couldn't understand Xiao Ba's cry, his intention was clear at a glance. Du Rong said to Xiao Ba seriously, "No, it's late at night, we can't go over and disturb the master's rest."
Xiao Ba bleated in dissatisfaction: Sheep will not disturb their masters' rest, sheep always sleep with their masters!
Next, the scene began to unfold - Xiao Ba was stuffed into the grass nest, Xiao Ba jumped up and ran to the stairs, but was caught by Du Rong and stuffed into the grass nest again, and this scene repeats itself in an endless cycle.
Xiao Ba was persistent, making louder and louder noises and resisting more and more fiercely, as if Du Rong's behavior of stopping him from going upstairs and letting him sleep alone was a heinous crime, and he became more and more resistant to surrender.
Wan Qing and Qian Chuan were exhausted from the torture. Although it was Du Rong who tried to catch Xiao Ba every time, these two had to cooperate in the siege.
The two men were just mortals, and they soon became exhausted after being tossed around like that, and the encirclement was broken.
After Xiao Ba cleverly jumped out of the encirclement again, Du Rong saw that it had no intention of giving up, so he had to use his body skills to catch Xiao Ba and temporarily locked him in a room, then went upstairs to report to Chen Xiao.
Du Rong was extremely upset. Being forced to this point by a young sheep was a complete loss of face for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But now he began to be convinced that this was indeed an unusual lamb. When Chen Xiao said that it had the phenomenon of atavism, he also believed it.
If it weren't for the signs of revival of ancient blood, this sheep would never be so smart!
After listening to Du Rong's report, Chen Xiao hurriedly opened the door: "Is Xiao Ba making a lot of noise? He may not be used to it. He used to sleep next to me at night, and he probably feels insecure without me."
Chen Xiao has replaced Xiao Ba's mother and holds the most important position in the lamb's heart. How can the young and fragile little guy sleep when the person who can protect it is not here?
Although he could understand Xiao Ba, Chen Xiao did not intend to continue pampering Xiao Ba. It was time for it to start learning to be independent.
——At least be able to sleep alone.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to enjoy my nightlife in the future.
Giving Xi Yunting an apologetic look, Chen Xiao ordered Du Rong to bring Xiao Ba up and also bring the prepared straw nest to his room.
After a while, Du Rong came over holding Xiao Ba, and Qian Chuan came over with a straw nest.
Xiao Ba was very happy to see Chen Xiao, because it had successfully defeated the extremely hateful, rude and clumsy man and defended its right to sleep next to its master.
The short tail on the lamb's butt was wagging happily, and the frequency and amplitude of the swinging showed that it was in a good mood at the moment.
But in contrast, Xi Yunting's mood was not so good.
Is it true that after the intimate bath, there needs to be a straw nest on the bed for two people?
Xi Yunting took a look at the so-called grass nest.
The outside of the grass nest was a basket made of fresh-smelling rattan, large and shallow. Inside was dried hay with a pleasant smell, and Xiao Ba had plenty of space to lie down in it, whether horizontally or vertically.
Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with this thatched nest. He placed it in the corner of the central hall, separated from his room by a wall.
Xiao Ba wagged his tail and watched his actions, but when Chen Xiao put it into the grass nest, went into the bedroom and closed the door, it immediately became angry.
It stood up, jumped out of the grass nest, ran to the door, and knocked on it "bang bang bang" with its little hooves.
Open the door, open the door, the sheep wants to sleep with its owner!
Chen Xiao knew it would not be content with the status quo. He waited at the door, and as soon as Xiao Bay knocked, Chen Xiao opened the door.
He squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed the little baby's chubby head, and the two slightly hard protrusions under his hand rubbed back and forth in his palm.
"Xiao Ba, you are no longer a suckling lamb. You should learn to sleep on your own. Do you understand?"
I don’t know! Xiao Ba was not convinced.
As for all sheep, the lambs will grow up with their mothers until they reach adulthood and then live independently. Although Xiao Ba was abandoned by his mother because he ate too much, she did not force such a small lamb to sleep alone.
Xiao Ba thought that he was quite right, but unfortunately, this righteous emotion was shattered when he saw the man standing behind his master.
This person is usually not very friendly to Yang, but he is not very bad. Xiao Ba treats him as the same as Liu Lang and Jing Hui.
But this time, the other person's expressionless face and the aura surrounding him made Yang feel like his legs went weak.
Chen Xiao tried to reason with him earnestly, but Xiao Ba refused to listen to a word he said.
Its heart was filled with panic and fear. It looked up at its owner who didn't notice anything unusual, and despair surged in its heart.
It took a few steps back, turned around, and rushed into the grass nest with its tail between its legs, its butt facing Chen Xiao and its head buried in its stomach, curling up into a ball.
It’s so scary. It’d better not sleep with its owner anymore. Sob.
Xiao Ba could barely accept the fact that he didn't have to face Xi Yunting and could sleep with a wall between them.
Don't push it, even sheep have their limits.
