Harmony Street, Orphanage.
By the time He Xie and Zhao Keying drove the car into the yard, it was already completely dark.
As soon as he opened the car door and got out, a water sprite from the lotus pond flew over and landed squarely on He Xie's shoulder. She nestled against He Xie's face with an obedient expression, like a clingy daughter.
Even the sedge in the corner of the yard was uprooted and came over, calling out to its master repeatedly, sounding very docile and sensible.
However, Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone. Everyone in the courtyard knows that this Yingying Grass is greedy for Fairy Dew, otherwise it wouldn't be as docile as it is now.
You should know that this Yingyingcao is usually very foul-mouthed and has a terrible temper.
He Xie knew this too, and with a smile, he took out a bottle of fairy dew from his system backpack, opened the cap, and poured it onto the flower bud, making it groan with pleasure.
The twisted tree spirit watching from the side was drooling, but it was too embarrassed to be shameless like the whining grass and ask for fairy dew, so it could only watch longingly.
Fortunately, He Xie knew how to treat everyone equally. After watering the Yingying Grass, he immediately watered the Twisted Tree Spirit as well.
After doing all this, He Xie peered into the biological information of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Twisted Treant: Mutant Rank 9.
Water Spirit: Rare Tier 1.
Yingying Grass: Advanced Level 9.
Three-Legged Golden Crow: Seventh-Order Mutation.
He Xie was quite surprised after scanning the area at a glance.
The first surprise is that the four Vajra Kings have evolved to such a rapid level? Is it because of the abundant spiritual energy in the courtyard?
The second unexpected point is that the water spirit, which was originally the lowest-level creature, has suddenly become the highest-level one? What's going on? Is it because the water spirit is inherently gifted, or is the Thousand-Year Ice Crystal an exceptionally suitable match?
"Brother Crab, you're back!"
As He Xie was deep in thought, the voice of his third sister, Li Muke, suddenly came from the doorway of the house.
His voice sounded a bit more mature, less childish, but his speech was still unclear.
"Brother Crab, did you buy any big steamed buns for me to eat?"
Li Muke ran up to He Xie and stopped, skillfully hugging his leg and looking up to ask, her little mouth watering and her eyes full of longing for food.
He Xie was prepared and directly took out a bunch of food from his system backpack and stuffed it into her arms, making her so happy she couldn't close her legs.
At this moment, Zhao Keying parked her car and came over.
Seeing Li Muke sitting on the ground eating the snacks, she couldn't help but say to her, "Little Muke, dinner is coming soon, you should save the snacks for tomorrow."
"It's okay!" Li Muke said, stuffing snacks into her mouth, her words slightly muffled. "My tummy is so big, I can eat lots of delicious food. I want all the snacks and dinner!"
Zhao Keying covered her forehead, unable to bear watching any longer, then squatted down, picked up Li Muke, and carried her into the house.
He Xie followed silently behind.
Inside the house, Liu Yan and Su Jiu'er were busy in the kitchen.
Song Yuxin was also helping out inside, clumsily slicing cucumbers with a kitchen knife, preparing to make a plate of cucumber salad herself.
Gu Xinyao was bored sitting outside, so she squeezed into the kitchen to help.
He claimed to be helping, but he mostly got in the way, earning him a lot of disdain from Liu Yan.
"He Xie, you haven't been back for so long, did you buy me a gift?"
Seeing her brother pass by the kitchen door, Gu Xinyao immediately put down the plate she was holding and ran out.
Looking at his second younger sister, who had grown quite a bit taller, He Xie bent down and pinched her round little face, saying, "You don't even call me 'brother,' and you still want a gift?"
"elder brother!"
Gu Xinyao shouted decisively, and immediately afterward, she looked smug and said, "I shouted, where's the gift?"
He Xie: "Hehe, calling me 'Dad' won't help."
Gu Xinyao was so angry that her mouth twisted in anger.
You broke your promise!
Despicable scoundrel!
[Contrast value from Gu Xinyao: +9376.]
Seeing that his second sister was furious, He Xie not only did not comfort her, but also rubbed her round face twice, saying in a cruel and hurtful tone, "Silly Yao is really silly."
Gu Xinyao was immediately depressed upon hearing this. How could someone treat her own sister like this? Is this even human?
[The contrast value from Gu Xinyao is +8597.]
Liu Yan came out of the kitchen and saw Gu Xinyao leaning against the sofa in silence, looking withdrawn. She couldn't help but go over and ask with concern, "Xiaoyao, what's wrong?"
Gu Xinyao didn't even raise her head, and said listlessly, "Don't ask so many questions, sir. You'll understand when you reach my age."
Liu Yan: "???"
......
"You little brat, you need to be taught a lesson!"
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
"Ah! Stop hitting me, Aunt Liu, I was wrong! If you hit my bottom again, it'll swell up, waaaah!"
......
Before long, the food was ready.
The family of seven sat around the dining table.
Song Yuxin deliberately sat down close to He Xie, her face flushed. She ate slowly and deliberately, occasionally stealing a glance at He Xie beside her.
After not seeing him for more than two months, she noticed that her brother had become more masculine, more mature, less childish, and exuded a strong sense of security, making her want to go up and cuddle with him.
He Xie noticed his younger sister's occasional glances and turned to look at her with a smile, saying, "Little sister, why are you always peeking at your brother?"
"I...I didn't."
Being caught peeping by her own brother in public made Song Yuxin, who was already a bit introverted, blush instantly. She immediately lowered her head and stammered an explanation.
Seeing Song Yuxin's shy and adorable appearance, He Xie's heart fluttered, and he exclaimed, "My little sister is just too cute!"
Then he reached out and picked up a piece of chicken, putting it in her bowl. He smiled gently and said, "Yuxin, you're growing right now. Don't just eat cucumber salad; eat more meat."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, bro."
Song Yuxin spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
For some reason, when she looked at the piece of chicken that He Xie had put in her bowl, she felt like her heart was melting.
"Brother Crab, I want a nest too!"
!
Li Muke, as always, roared with filial piety like a fierce dragon.
He Xie glanced at the huge bowl full of food in front of her and said speechlessly, "Your bowl is already full of food, what more do you want?"
"Brother Crab, I want a nest too!"
!
Ignoring everything else, Li Muke opened her mouth again and roared, "Filial piety!"
He Xie's ears were ringing from the shock, and his whole body went numb.
To shut her up, I had no choice but to put a big chicken leg in her bowl to prevent her from yelling again.
Hehehe...
Seeing the big chicken leg her older brother had put in her bowl, young Li Muke immediately beamed with joy and kicked her legs under the table.
The movement was so forceful that the chair beneath him creaked as he kicked it.
It wasn't until Liu Yan glared at her that she stopped in fear, then buried her face in her bowl and shoveled rice into her mouth with a pitiful expression.
"Thank you, but what about me?"
Seeing that Song Yuxin and Li Muke both received a share, while she, as their younger sister, did not, Gu Xinyao couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
She immediately pouted her rosy lips, moved the bowl towards He Xie, and gestured for him to quickly pick up a piece of chicken as well.
"hehe."
He Xie simply sneered twice, pretending not to see it.
Gu Xinyao was so angry that she trembled and cursed He Xiezhen for being biased. Then she looked like she wanted to cry.
Seeing that his second sister was really about to cry, He Xie felt a little sorry for her and had no choice but to put a piece of chicken on her plate as well.
"Brother, what about me?"
Zhao Keying skillfully took off one of her high heels, stuck her stockinged foot out from under the table and kicked He Xie across from her, urging him to quickly pick up a piece of chicken and come over.
He Xie was speechless and said, "How old are you? If you want to eat, can't you pick it up yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Keying immediately retorted with displeasure, "So you've forgotten about your older sister now that you have a younger sister? Who slept with you when you were afraid of ghosts as a child? You ungrateful wretch!"
"Come on, eat, eat! If you're not full, I'll just give you a whole plate!" He Xie put a piece of chicken into Zhao Keying's bowl, looking annoyed.
I love you~
Zhao Keying blew He Xie a kiss, then happily started eating her chicken.
Su Jiu'er, standing to the side, looked on with envy, but because of her family status, she was too embarrassed to express her thoughts directly like He Xie's sisters. She could only look at He Xie longingly and give him pitiful hints with her eyes.
He Xie understood the hint from the bed warmer maid and immediately put a piece of chicken into her bowl, praising her, "Come on, Jiu'er, eat more. You have to do a lot of chores at home. You've worked so hard."
"No, it's not tiring at all."
Su Jiu'er looked at He Xie with a smile.
Her smile was ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one could see the deep affection in her eyes.
At the same time, it can be noticed that after she finished speaking, she also lip-read a sentence that sounded very similar to what Zhao Keying had just said: "Master, I love you."
He Xie understood her lip reading and quickly replied with a lip reading in return: Come to my room at midnight tonight and let me love you slowly.
Su Jiu'er's face immediately turned red.
But it wasn't because she was shy; it was because she had fallen in love.
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, Liu Yan, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly coughed twice.
He Xie assumed that his adoptive mother had noticed his lip-reading with Su Jiu'er, so he immediately stopped and ate quietly, no longer flirting with Su Jiu'er with his eyes open.
However, for some reason, Liu Yan coughed lightly twice and said, "Cough cough!"
He Xie looked up at her in confusion, not understanding why she was coughing.
It wasn't until I saw her gaze fall on the plate of braised chicken in front of her, and then look back and forth in her own bowl a couple of times!
He Xie suddenly realized what was going on, and exclaimed in his heart, "Good heavens, Aunt Liu was trying to get me to put a piece of chicken on my plate too!"
Thinking of this, he was speechless for a moment, but he still very sensibly picked out a piece of chicken that looked the freshest and put it in Liu Yan's bowl, saying with a filial face, "Aunt Liu works hard all the time, come and eat more meat, so that you will have the strength to beat up Xiao Muke in the future."
Li Muke: "???"
[Contrast value from Li Muke: +9869.]
......
After the meal, the family of seven didn't rush to clean up.
Instead, they sat and chatted for a while.
During this time, He Xie returned to his old ways, often making surprising remarks and collecting a lot of contrast data.
After the show ended.
He went out into the yard, exchanged the contrast value he had just collected for fairy dew, and gave the twisted tree spirit and the whining grass in the corner of the yard a full bath to speed up their flowering and fruiting process as much as possible.
I hope that during this short winter break, the flowers will bloom and the fruit will ripen more, providing him with more exotic flowers and fruits to devour.
"Master, master, I've laid an egg!"
The little water spirit, who was sleeping on the millennium ice crystal, suddenly cried out with an excited yet bewildered expression.
Did it lay an egg?
He Xie was both curious and confused, and immediately walked over to it.
Seeing this, every tree, blade of grass, and bird behind them curiously followed and joined in the fun.
Where is the egg?
He Xie stopped in front of the millennium ice crystal and looked at the little water spirit on it, asking a question.
Little Shuiling moved aside, revealing a crystal-clear, jelly-like object that was underneath her.
I must say, it really does look a bit like a miniature version of a water sprite.
He Xie curiously picked up the jelly-like object and examined it closely.
The next second, an item notification popped up.
【Ice Crystal Liquid】: The essence condensed from the energy of the sun and moon over many years by millennia-old ice crystals. It contains a large amount of the power of the sun and moon, and can greatly enhance the mental strength of living beings after they consume it.
Significantly enhance mental strength?
nice one!
He Xie steadied himself and, without hesitation, said: Devour!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the icy liquid in his hand vanished instantly.
[Mental Energy Plus!]
"hiss!"
He Xie felt a chilling sensation, like being touched by ice, as he felt a shiver run through his body and gasped for breath.
With such a significant increase in mental strength, the range of his five senses expanded considerably, and his ability to fly also experienced a qualitative leap.
The future is promising!
He Xie was slightly shocked and began to look forward to his divine display on the battlefield of all races in the next few years.
"Master, where are my eggs?"
Seeing the ice crystal liquid suddenly disappear from He Xie's hand, Xiao Shui Ling immediately became extremely anxious, as if she had lost a child.
Seeing this, He Xie explained to it, "Shui Shui, that's not your egg. It was the essence that was condensed from the energy of the sun and moon absorbed by the millennium-old ice crystals. I just devoured it."
"Huh? So it wasn't an egg after all?"
Little Shuiling was a little disappointed, then moved back to her original position, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a second.
The other three strongmen found it boring and quickly returned to the corner of the courtyard.
Seeing that everyone had left, He Xie didn't stay alone and turned around to go back into the house.
I went back inside and hid in my room.
Bored, He Xie used the Super Multiplier Card to exercise, hoping to provide some minor boost to his evolution while also getting some exercise and feeling refreshed.
The workout ended two hours later.
He Xie checked the time and found that it was already 10 p.m.
Having not been intimate with Su Jiu'er for over two months, he was getting impatient and didn't want to wait until after midnight to make love. So he decided to go to the next room now to have a long talk with Su Jiu'er.
"Creak—"
Pushing open Su Jiu'er's door, He Xie discovered that his third sister, Li Muke, was also inside.
She was tiny, squatting on the ground watching Su Jiu'er soak her feet, her mouth watering for some reason.
"Master, you've come to see me so early, are you impatient?"
Su Jiu'er completely ignored Li Muke, who was squatting on the ground in front of her, and flirted with He Xie without any pretense.
He Xie ignored her flirting and instead looked at his third sister, Li Muke, who was squatting on the ground, and asked, "Little Muke, what are you doing squatting in your sister Jiu'er's room?"
I want to drink milk!
Li Muke stared intently at the small bucket where Su Jiu'er was soaking her feet.
Drinking milk?
He Xie felt a little confused, so he walked over and looked down at the small bucket that Su Jiu'er used to soak her feet. When he saw that it was full of milk, his face turned green.
"Damn it, you spendthrift vixen! Milk is for drinking, not for soaking your feet!"
"Where did you spend money recklessly?"
Su Jiu'er lifted her pair of jade-like feet, which were soaking in milk, and said with a nonchalant expression, "I know that Master is a leg and foot fetishist, so I specially used milk to soak his feet, okay?"
"you're right."
He Xie nodded in agreement.
Actually, he was very angry just now, but after seeing Su Jiu'er's slender and delicate calves, and her smooth and white jade feet like peeled hard-boiled eggs, he forgave her instantly, which was quite shameful.
"Sister Jiu'er, do you still want this milk?"
Li Muke looked at the milk in the bucket after her feet had been soaked, and looked like she wanted to drink it.
Upon seeing this, He Xie quickly grabbed the bucket and ran away, pouring out all the milk inside.
Li Muke was so anxious she was about to cry, and she opened her mouth as if to roar like a dragon.
Fortunately, He Xie reacted quickly and immediately took a cookie from her system inventory and stuffed it into her mouth, which stopped her crying.
After returning to Su Jiu'er's room.
He Xie said to her, "Be careful when you soak your feet in milk next time, so that Xiao Muke doesn't see it."
"Okay."
After Su Jiu'er finished speaking, she pounced on him and looked at him with affection, saying, "Master, I don't want to be a pet with a collar."
He Xie raised an eyebrow after hearing this, took one of her small and exquisite jade feet in his hand and played with it, his expression unmoved, and said: "What, are you pushing your luck?"
Su Jiu'er's eyes were filled with affection, her gaze captivating as she said, "It's a very simple principle. Whether you're human or demon, you have a heart that's never satisfied. It's like when you feed your pet fried dough sticks once, it will want to drink soy milk next."
He Xie smiled and said, "So?"
Su Jiu'er pursed her alluring thin lips and exhaled softly, "I want to be the mistress, okay?"
"Well... well, that depends on your performance."
He Xie put his arm around Su Jiu'er's slender waist and smiled at her meaningfully.
Su Jiu'er understood, and looked at him with deep affection, saying in a soft voice, "I will do whatever Master tells me to do."
