"Don't you want any more wine?" Shen Nanxing shook the wine bottle in his hand.
'Chirp?'
"Okay, I'll return the wine to you once you call Xiao Yin back."
'Chirp!'
Xiao Zi revived on the spot and fled at lightning speed.
"This guy is really realistic..."
Shen Nanxing shook his head helplessly, picked up the wine, left the secret room, and headed towards the study.
Qianmen Garden.
"Jiang Nian'an, wait a minute!"
Qiao Huaxi called out to Jiang Nian'an, who was leading Luo Yue and the other woman towards the garden pavilion.
"Yueyue, Chen Yang, you two go and wait for me in the pavilion."
"good!"
Luo Yue nodded obediently and went to the pavilion with Chen Yang first.
Jiang Nian'an stopped where she was, waiting for Qiao Huaxi to come over.
Qiao Huaxi walked a few steps quickly to Jiang Nian'an, lowered her head slightly, and fidgeted with the hem of her clothes with her hands.
"Um... I have something... I want to ask you."
After hesitating for a moment, she finally raised her head and stammered out her words.
"Hmm? What is it?"
This was the first time Jiang Nian'an had seen her like this, and she was both curious and surprised.
"So... can you really understand what the mutated animals are saying?"
Qiao Huaxi's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and there was also a hint of anticipation.
"Yes, but it can only understand the language of high-level mutated animals."
The news has been circulating for several days now; some people believe it, and some don't.
But Qiao Huaxi was the first to come to her to verify this.
'cracking--'
Just then, the mistress flew over.
【Da An An, shall we go to the mountains?】
It was thinking about the little eagle and Xiao Er in the mountains.
"You go first, I have something to do. I'll have Big Grey take me there later."
Okay, I'll go first then!
After saying that, the mistress took flight and quickly disappeared from their sight.
What did it just say?
Qiao Huaxi asked Jiang Nian'an with curiosity and doubt.
Luo Yue and Chen Yang, who were in the pavilion, also looked over curiously.
“It asked me if I wanted to go into the mountains…” Jiang Nian’an said.
"Go into the mountains?" Qiao Huaxi was taken aback. "What are we going into the mountains for?"
"I know a few king-level mutated beasts, and I'm planning to borrow some of their subordinates."
"Lend...lend some of your men?"
Qiao Huaxi was shocked and stammered, "Then, the mutated beasts that the Shen family currently has, were also borrowed by you?"
"They are not."
Jiang Nian'an shook her head. "They are friends I made on my way to Beijing."
"So that's how it is."
Qiao Huaxi suddenly realized, and then a gentle smile bloomed on her face. "I have nothing else to do, so I won't take up any more of your time. I'll be going now."
She waved to Luo Yue in the pavilion and then left.
Jiang Nian'an watched Qiao Huaxi's departing figure, her gaze slightly darkening.
Her intuition told her that Qiao Huaxi had other things she wanted to ask her, but she didn't know why she didn't ask them in the end.
"Sister An'an!"
Luo Yue's voice drew Jiang Nian'an's attention back.
"They're here!"
She suppressed her doubts for the time being and turned to walk towards the pavilion.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Nian'an sat down opposite the two and offered them a pot of hot tea and some snacks.
Luo Yue quickly recounted what had happened earlier.
“Sister An’an, although Fu Tianyuan said they are not bad people, I always feel that the woman named Jiang Ling has impure thoughts.”
"So it was her."
After Luo Yue's description, Jiang Nian'an finally remembered who Jiang Ling was.
"Sister An'an, should we strike first?"
Luo Yue moved closer to Jiang Nian'an and whispered a suggestion.
"No need. Just send someone to keep an eye on things first, so that no one can find any fault with us."
After Jiang Nian'an finished speaking, she glanced at her with a smile, "But you, when did you become so ruthless?"
"They haven't become ruthless; they're just worried about you."
Luo Yue grabbed Jiang Nian'an's arm and gently rested her head on her shoulder, an affectionate and satisfied smile involuntarily appearing on her face.
"Come to the Shen family tomorrow morning."
Jiang Nian'an gently tucked a few stray strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear, her voice tender.
"Um?"
Luo Yue looked up at her, puzzled.
"The situation is going to get increasingly tense, so I'm going to pick out two mutated beasts for you to use for self-defense."
"real?"
Luo Yue stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her eyes gleaming with surprise.
"Okay, that's enough. I'm going to head to the mountains now."
Jiang Nian'an stood up, took out a whistle, and blew it.
'cracking--'
Big Grey quickly responded from the villa.
Within two minutes, a large gray object flew over and landed in front of Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an grabbed its wings and flipped it onto its back with a forceful movement.
"Let's go!"
She told the two of them, and Big Grey immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Suddenly, the sound of a large fire came from behind.
Jiang Nian'an patted the big gray cat, signaling it to descend.
As soon as they landed, the fire rushed towards them.
"Human girl, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
Da Huo clasped his hands together and looked at Jiang Nian'an pitifully.
"How old are you this year?" Jiang Nian'an asked instead of answering.
"I think it was twenty-one? I can't quite remember, hehe~"
Da Huo scratched his head and lowered it in embarrassment.
"Then let's say I'm twenty-one. I'm a bit older than you, so you can call me Sister An'an from now on. Stop calling me 'human girl' all the time!"
