Chapter 298 The Gift is Too Expensive (Second Update)
Bai Qianqian, who was sitting on Bai Zhengli's lap, twitched his nose, his eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Yuxin in surprise. He didn't expect her to give him such a precious gift.
Bai Ye was also curious. He had originally guessed that what Fang Yuxin sent must be a good thing, but when he smelled it, he realized that the thing was extraordinary!
Fang Yuyang, who was standing next to Fang Yuxin, also smelled the smell coming from the box and guessed what was inside. Immediately, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked at Fang Yuxin with a bit of disapproval.
The box was now completely opened, and the contents finally revealed their true colors. They were two red fruits, the size of quail eggs, round and smooth, with a thin layer of red skin on the surface, looking crystal clear, and emitting a faint sweet fragrance, very tempting.
Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou were stunned at first, and then Bai Zhengli said, "Xinxin... I'll call you that for now. This fruit of yours must be special, right? Isn't it too expensive to give it to us like this?" He did not miss the disapproval on Fang Yuyang's face, and the fragrance of the fruit made him feel as if his body was cleansed and purified, and even the supernatural powers in his body were affected. He knew that this thing was definitely not ordinary!
Although Bai Zhengli liked this gift very much, he was worried that Fang Yuxin was young and immature, and if she gave him something too expensive, it would be bad if she was blamed by her family. What's more, he and Shui Rou were both very old, so it was better to leave such good things to the young people.
Although Shui Rou hadn't awakened her special powers, she was very smart. After realizing that the gift was unusual, she followed Bai Zhengli's words and said, "Xinxin, your uncle is right. This gift is too valuable. You should take it back, whether it's for your parents or for you young people to use."
Fang Yuxin shook his head: "Since it is a gift, there is no reason to take it back. Uncle and aunt, you won't forget my supernatural attributes, right? This is the fruit of a mutant plant that I accidentally encountered outside. After taking it, it can remove impurities from the body, so I call it the marrow cleansing fruit. I heard that you two have helped my family a lot, this is my heartfelt gift, please accept it."
She had already said this, and it would be inappropriate for Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou not to accept it. Bai Zhengli looked at the fruit in the box and felt that the skin was so thin that it could be broken with a slight touch. He hesitated for a moment and was about to ask Fang Yuxin what kind of mutant plant it was, but Shui Rou gently bumped him with her elbow, and then Shui Rou glared at him obscurely, successfully making him swallow the words on his lips.
However, Bai Ye understood when he heard the words "Marrow Cleansing Fruit". This should be something from the world of cultivation. No wonder Fang Yuxin had never taken it out before. Things from the world of cultivation are too precious and too rare for this mortal world. Once they are taken out, it is inevitable that people will think too much and then notice that Fang Yuxin is abnormal. They must be careful.
So Bai Ye decided that he must find an opportunity to have a good talk with Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou and must not let them leak this matter out.
Seeing the two accept the gift, Fang Yuxin said, "This kind of fruit needs to be preserved in a special way. Once the box is opened, it must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced. Uncle and aunt should take it as soon as possible. However, it is best to choose the bathroom as the place to take it, and don't wear clothes. In addition, the process will be a bit painful, I'm afraid you two will suffer a lot."
Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou looked at each other, then nodded to Fang Yuxin to show that they understood. Bai Zhengli waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it just hurts a little, it's nothing." After saying that, he thought about it and simply left Bai Ye to accompany the guests, and took the marrow cleansing fruit back to the room with Shui Rou, intending to eat it while others were still here.
It's not that he intentionally kept it to himself and didn't want his subordinates to use it. It's just that this thing was given by Fang Yuxin, and it's obviously not simple. It's definitely impossible for each person to have one. He always has to think more about Fang Yuxin. When the others come back, there will be many people and the news will inevitably leak out.
However, Fang Yuxin's words made him feel a little taboo. He didn't care whether it hurt or not, but he couldn't bear to let Shui Rou suffer, so he planned to eat it first to test the effect of the fruit, and then consider whether to let Shui Rou eat it.
In the living room, as soon as Bai Zhengli took Shui Rou away, Bai Qianqian quickly ran to Fang Yuxin for comfort, which made Bai Ye so angry that he couldn't help but want to beat him up.
Fang Yuyang suddenly spoke up: "Xinxin, Bai Ye just came back and he must have a lot of things to deal with. Let's not disturb him and go home first."
As soon as he said this, Bai Ye's face changed immediately. He wanted to ask Fang Yuxin to stay, but he felt that it was not right, so he couldn't say anything.
Although Fang Yuxin agreed to Bai Ye's pursuit, she didn't want to be with him all day. She was still quite reserved, so she nodded and said to Bai Ye, "Then you go and do your work. My brother and I will go back first."
Fang Yuyang felt relieved when he heard her say this. He was worried that Fang Yuxin was deceived by Bai Ye and refused to go home. Fortunately, although she was poisoned by Bai Ye, it should not be too serious!
Bai Ye couldn't help but look at Fang Yuyang with dissatisfaction, and his impression of him was terrible. Fang Yuyang ignored him and directly urged Fang Yuxin to leave quickly. Bai Qianqian directly expressed that he wanted to follow "Momma". Fang Yuxin just saw him and was reluctant to part with him, so she happily took him away.
Bai Er was lying lazily on the ground. Seeing Fang Yuxin was about to leave, he quickly got up from the ground. His huge golden eyes looked back and forth between Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye in confusion. Eh? Is the owner going to separate from the owner? Who will it follow in the future? What a dilemma!
After hesitating for three seconds, Bai Er shook his butt and decided to chase Fang Yuxin. As soon as his head stuck out of the door, his tail was grabbed by someone. Bai Er was suddenly grabbed by the tail, and he trembled all over. He turned his head and glared at the instigator angrily, but he saw Bai Ye with a dark face.
Bai Ye grabbed Bai Er's tail and pulled it back to the living room. He patted its big head and said, "Okay! Just follow me from now on. You won't starve!" He didn't have the face to ask Fang Yuxin to help him raise a spirit pet. That would be too useless!
He's not a gigolo!
On the other hand, Fang Yuxin went straight home after leaving the Bai family. Many people in the Bei City base already knew about her going to the Bai family.
At the beginning, her identity as a second-level wood-type mutant was discovered, and all the major forces in the Bei City base knew about it. However, she was not only related to the Qu family, but also to the Bai family. This made many people who wanted to win her over worried about offending the two major forces, the Qu family and the Bai family.
As a result, while everyone was watching, Fang Yuxin suddenly went to Bai Ye's house. After leaving Bai Ye's house, she went straight back to Fang's house and did not go to Qu's house!
This news made many people think about it. The farce between the Fang family and the Qu family, or more precisely, the farce between Fang Yuyang, Qu Qianlin and Qin Xiran, had spread throughout the entire Bei City base. However, except for a few people, no one else knew the inside story.
Now Fang Yuxin went to Bai Ye's house but not to Qu's house. This is undoubtedly a signal - Fang's family is not on good terms with Qu's family! But they have a close relationship with Bai's family!
This made many people feel entangled. Many people in the Qu family were eyeing her as a second-level wood-type mutant, but Fang Yuxin's action was undoubtedly a slap in their face! She was the granddaughter of the head of the Qu family. She should have been the closest to the Qu family, but she was not close to her grandparents, but instead mixed with the ambitious Bai family. How could the Qu family feel at ease?
The Bai family is already strong enough, and there are even rumors that the Bai family is about to send out a third-level wood-type psychic! The Qu family is weak, and they need a second-level wood-type psychic like Fang Yuxin to support them. If she really turns to the Bai family, the Qu family will not only lose a second-level wood-type psychic, but will also become a joke of the entire Bei City base!
Qu Xiuhong was completely anxious after hearing the news. After hesitating, he directly dialed Fang Yuxin's contact number. Fang Yuxin's contact device was taken from the testing center, and the number was also entered into the identity information, so anyone with the ability could see it.
As the patriarch of the Qu family, Qu Xiuhong controls a huge Star Mercenary Group and is one of the six major forces that control the entire Bei City base. It is too easy for him to get Fang Yuxin's contact number!
Originally, he didn't want to contact Fang Yuxin so soon, nor did he think of contacting her directly, but the news he just received made him completely unable to sit still! The Qu family is already in a disadvantageous position, and they must win over Fang Yuxin, a second-level wood-type ability user!
Fang Yuxin had just returned home when the communicator rang. Looking at the strange number displayed on the screen, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and chose to answer it.
Soon, a strange old man's voice came from the speaker. The voice sounded very old, with a bit of uncertainty and hesitation: "You are...Xinxin, right? I'm your grandpa. Has your mother ever mentioned me to you?"
Qu Qianhe, Fang Jintang, Fang Yuyang and Bai Qianqian were all in the Fang family's living room, while the others had already left to investigate. Because Fang Yuxin didn't wear headphones, the sound came through directly.
Hearing Qu Xiuhong's voice, Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuyang's faces turned very ugly. They didn't expect that Qu Xiuhong would have the nerve to go directly to Fang Yuxin!
This person is too shameless!
Qu Qianhe stood up and walked quickly towards Fang Yuxin, saying loudly: "Qu Xiuhong! I have severed ties with you a long time ago! The Fang family has nothing to do with the Qu family! Xinxin has nothing to do with you! If you still have a conscience, don't bother us!"
