Having truly tested just how bloody this whip was, Jiu Yebai glanced coldly at Ye Ming and said, "Serves you right!"
Jiu Yebai moved his body slightly and felt a burning pain in the places where he had been slapped.
He trained so hard in the army, eager to challenge Mu Jin, but it ended as soon as it began... Jiu Yebai suddenly realized how far he still had to go.
Cat took out her binoculars and went outside to take a look. Sure enough, the Fifth Warship was following behind.
"Kitty, don't you really miss me?" Jiu Yebai followed her out, still unwilling to give up.
The cat glanced at him and said, "You've asked that so many times already."
Jiu Yebai immediately said, "You haven't answered me at all. If you had, wouldn't I have given up?"
The cat didn't say anything; she walked away a bit.
Jiu Yebai followed after him.
By this time, the shore was completely out of sight; all around was the deep blue sea, the wind was strong, and the sun was blazing.
Jiu Yebai hadn't received a word of expression of longing from his dear sister. After a brief moment of depression, he suddenly said, "Oh, right! I almost forgot, Cat Cat, I brought you a present!"
Jiu Yebai ran to the bow of the boat and soon returned carrying something.
"Look, kitty, this is for you." Jiu Yebai handed over the item in his hand, looking like he wanted praise.
The cat stared at the turtle in his hand and asked, "Silly little brother, why did you give me this?"
Jiu Yebai said, "I aspire to be a man who can reach for the moon in the heavens and capture turtles in the deep sea. Now, I have achieved half of this goal. This sea turtle is the one I caught at the bottom of the sea."
"Then why did you give it to me?" the cat asked.
Jiu Yebai said matter-of-factly, "I want you to witness this for me. Such an important gift should of course be given to someone as important as you."
The cat glanced at Jiu Yebai, then looked at the turtle. It was very small, a little bigger than a palm, and was still confused, slowly sliding its four legs and turning its head curiously back and forth.
The cat had never owned a pet before, and she was a little unaccustomed to the sudden arrival of a little turtle.
"Don't be afraid, it won't bite." Jiu Yebai placed the turtle directly in the cat's hand. "To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to catch its mother, but that old turtle was too big. I was afraid you would think it was ugly, so I caught a small one. Isn't this one cute?"
The cat pinched the turtle's belly and examined it closely.
"This is good," the cat said with some satisfaction.
This sea turtle could live for a thousand years without any problem, it won't die so easily, let's keep it.
Jiu Yebai was happy, at least the cat liked its gift!
After his initial excitement at seeing the cat subsided, Jiu Yebai asked about his family, "Why haven't we heard from Jiu Nanxun lately? Is she focusing on her studies?"
Clearly, Jiu Yebai didn't believe that Jiu Nanxun was academically inclined.
The cat said, "Because she's busy dating."
Jiu Yebai asked in surprise, "Besides Jiang Shaoze, who else is blind enough to fall for Jiu Nanxun? She can eat a lot, is infatuated with girls, and causes trouble every other day."
I never would have guessed that the younger sister in Kuyoshiro's heart was like this. I wonder what kind of expression Kuyoshiro would have if she heard this.
Cat said, "She's dating Jiang Shaoze!"
Jiu Yebai was startled again. When he left, Jiu Nanxun was constantly cursing Jiang Shaoze, so how come she's made up with him now? "Is going back to an old flame...smells good?"
Unexpectedly, the cat nodded and said, "It smells good!"
Whether Jiang Shaoze is attractive or not, she doesn't know; but her wallet certainly is.
"Where is my older brother?" Jiu Yebai seemed to want to ask, but soon he muttered to himself, "My older brother is definitely fine. He has never caused us any worry."
In the past, Jiu Yebai often left home, but it was all for fun and had no purpose.
This time, however, he left home to become a real man, and his mindset was completely different... Sometimes, when he looked at the stars at sea at night, he would think that he had never done anything for the Jiu family.
The Jiu family was created by Jiu Zhongsheng and Jiu Yunchi.
To put it bluntly, he has always been a freeloader.
Therefore, he cherishes the present moment more than ever before. He has so much to do, and he is determined to shoulder the burden of the Jiu family together with his elder brother.
“Xiao Chi is very well-behaved,” the cat said.
Jiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Little...Little Chi? Still...still very well-behaved?"
He didn't know what had triggered the joke, but Jiu Yebai was laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up. He really couldn't imagine how his older brother, with that icy face, could be so well-behaved, or how he could handle such an adorable nickname!
The cat just stared at him and smiled, then suddenly said, "What are you laughing at, Little White?"
Jiu Yebai froze instantly!
He stared at the cat in disbelief, as if trying to confirm that she hadn't been calling him just now.
However, the cat said again, "Little White, what does Fifth Zhen usually make you do? You were already stupid, how come you're even stupider now? Xiao Xun is almost better than you."
Xiaobai...Xiaoxun...
Jiu Yebai's hopes were dashed; the cat was calling for him!
So Jiu Yebai immediately said, "Kitty, can't you call me something else? Like, Xiao Ye?"
Xiaoye is better than Xiaobai, right? Xiaobai... just hearing the name makes him sound like a complete novice!
The cat shook its head. "Little White is fine. Look, even the silly turtle agrees."
Sure enough, the turtle in the cat's hand was nodding up and down comically.
Jiu Yebai regretted it for a moment; he shouldn't have laughed! Now look what happened… He leaned on the railing, feeling a little depressed, and pondered the three names. After repeating them a few times, he seemed to be able to accept them.
The cat glanced at Jiu Yebai.
He... was wearing a uniform. Compared to the Fifth Prince's unruly and seasoned demeanor, Jiu Yebai was much more lively. He even possessed an aura that could influence others. The white military uniform he wore looked neat and handsome.
At this moment, Jiu Yebai tilted his head and saw that the cat was looking at him silently. He thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Am I more handsome now?"
The cat didn't answer directly; instead, she said, "Silly little brother, you've gotten a tan."
Jiu Yebai touched his face nonchalantly, "This isn't even dark. I've tried really hard to get a tan, but it's still not enough. This is the skin tone a real man should have."
Cat suddenly thought, what would Ah Jin look like if she turned black?
Finally, she shook her head. "Ah Jin is a tough guy, but he doesn't need to get tanned."
Jiu Yebai: "..."
Mu Jin seems to be the stumbling block on his path to becoming a macho man! The key is that Jiu Yebai can't refute it either, because he really can't beat Mu Jin.
So, Jiu Yebai cleverly changed the subject, "Cat, when your new song 'Chasing the Light' was released, Big Brother and Song Sifan each spent 100 million on you, as did Ye Mingshi, and Mu Jin spent 2 billion. Did you know that?"
