Jiu Zhongsheng was also quite pleased. He immediately looked Ren Shuai over. Everything on the island was now in place, but he dared not hire people rashly. Previously, because of the cat's defensive barrier, the island's security system was a combination of magic and technology.
But he couldn't do without anyone, so he was indeed looking for a good instructor, which would save him some trouble.
Seeing this trend, Fifth Brother felt even more helpless. How come his cousin was so popular? Thinking about himself, he always encountered setbacks and couldn't help but feel resentful.
After a while, Ye Mingshi also arrived. He was yawning, having worked day and night for several days in a row, and he had struggled to get through today.
"You didn't even invite me to all this fun, that's really not nice of you." Ye Mingshi said, patting Jiu Yebai on the shoulder, "Young man, you've gotten strong."
Jiu Yebai smiled modestly, "Right now, I could definitely take on two of you without any problem."
Ye Mingshi changed his punch and punched Jiu Yebai, "Why are you hitting me? If you're so capable, hit Jin Er. I'm a scholar, I don't use my fists."
Jiu Yebai glanced at Ye Mingshi's fist, which was being swung.
...
Cat called Ziying to the study and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ziying smiled. She knew what "cat" meant. She said, "Zeng Bo injected me with the mutation drug, but don't be nervous. He only injected me with half of it because he only had one last dose left."
"He originally intended to give me the injections in two sessions and then observe the effects, but before the second injection could be given, Mu Jin had already found me."
"So, what about now?"
Ziying's smile was bitter, even though she tried her best to hide it. "I mutated into another form, similar to Zeng Bo, but not as exaggerated as him... Actually, I don't care much, it's good enough to be alive."
Cat looked at her and said, "Why don't you go to the island too? Jiu Shiyi is researching a decomposition potion. It's not impossible for you to turn back into an ordinary person."
Ziying sighed with emotion, "In the end, I'm the one who troubled you."
"No trouble at all," the cat simply said.
Whether the mutation is stable is still uncertain, and whether it will cause other damage to the body or affect lifespan are all unknowns.
Therefore, the best approach is to suppress or break it down.
It's good that Ziying is back. Now she can rest assured, and Jiu Zhongsheng can rest assured too.
...
Mu Jin, Ye Mingshi, Di Wuzhen, Ren Shuai, Jiu Yebai, and Jiu Yunchi sat together chatting, and they would inevitably start arguing for a while.
Ren Shuai was very curious about the members of the Jiu family. Since Maomao was such a remarkable person, he felt that her family must also be extraordinary. He couldn't help but chat with Jiu Yebai.
"Who gave you special training?"
Jiu Yebai glanced at Mu Jin, then whispered to Ren Shuai, "My brother-in-law gave me special training. He's Zheng the Great Demon at the training base."
Ren Shuai said sincerely, "You're really lucky. Mu Jin was an instructor in a special department, and Zheng the Great Demon is also very ruthless."
Jiu Yebai said, "You're lucky to be able to go on missions with Maomao."
Ren Shuai: "Is Maomao your sister? Why don't you call her 'sister'?"
Jiu Yebai squinted at him, "Don't mention this again, or I'll get angry."
Ren Shuai nodded.
After a while, Ren Shuai said again, "Your family is really amazing."
"What's so amazing about it?" Jiu Yebai asked, puzzled. Was this a compliment or an insult?
Ren Shuai said, "The Jiang family has little contact with other families in Beijing, and only has a good relationship with the Song family. My cousin is not well-liked by the underworld because of his work in a special department. These people usually don't get together, but I've met them all at your house today."
Besides, I just found out that your sister is a key figure at Extraordinary Entertainment. Including the Song family, they're completely unrelated. Isn't that amazing?
Jiu Yebai understood. He clenched his fist and said, "That's the charm of fists. Because none of the people you mentioned can beat Cat."
"That makes sense," Ren Shuai said, indicating that he understood.
Among these people, Jiang Shaoze is probably the most aloof. Mainly because he never takes the initiative to interact with anyone, only keeping an eye on Jiu Nanxun. Jiu Nanxun just wants to play with others, but being watched by such a jealous guy, she gives up.
A short while later, Maomao and Ziying came down.
Ziying exchanged a few words with Jiu Zhongsheng and made arrangements for lunch, but Jiang Shaoze suddenly spoke up: "Uncle Jiu, Aunt Jiu."
Jiu Zhongsheng was a little surprised by Jiang Shaoze's polite address, but he was even more surprised that "Aunt Jiu" Ziying did not object.
Jiu Zhongsheng's mood immediately improved. "Jiang Shaoze, is there something you need? Just say it if you have something to say."
Jiang Shaoze: "I have always wanted to visit you both in person, but things have always fallen through. Now that I have this opportunity, I will be frank with you. Please, marry Xiaoxun to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds stopped. Whether they were chatting or arguing, everyone turned to look at Jiang Shaoze.
This... a marriage proposal after meeting the parents?!
Jiu Nanxun was stunned, then panicked. She grabbed Jiang Shaoze's arm and asked, "Did I say I wanted to marry you?!"
This guy had only mentioned it before, but I never expected him to actually tell his dad, and in front of so many people!
Jiang Shaoze glanced at Jiu Nanxun, lowered his voice, and said in a hurt tone, "Xiao Xun, I thought you agreed... Are you going to reject me in public?"
Jiu Zhongsheng was the first to come to his senses. This was indeed unexpected. He looked at Jiu Nanxun and said, "I don't interfere with your relationship, but if you're going to get married, at least my daughter has to agree, right? She hasn't agreed yet, so isn't it too early for you to tell me?"
