After applying the talisman, Huo Yusen felt much better.
He raised his eyes, which reflected the stars and the sea, and even though his face was pale, he managed a beautiful smile. His eyes narrowed slightly: "Qiqi, are you hungry? Lunch is ready. Would you like to eat first and then we'll make more?"
As soon as she heard that lunch was ready, Qiqi's big eyes lit up immediately.
But when she glanced back at the evil spirits that she hadn't finished dealing with, she pouted and shook her head: "Never mind, Brother Xiao Jiu, you go eat first. I'll eat after I'm done."
She wasn't comfortable leaving these things lying around; it wouldn't be too late to eat them after she'd dealt with them.
"Then I'll go with you," Huo Yusen said, and began to maneuver his wheelchair into the house.
"No." Qiqi stretched out her little arms to stop him. "Little Brother Jiu, you can't come in. You won't be able to handle it."
Little Nine's legs were already filled with a lot of evil energy. If he ran in now, that evil energy might rush into his body in order to avoid being cleared away.
Huo Yusen looked up at her in confusion.
Qiqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Little Ninth Brother, I'll be done in no time. Go and keep an eye on things for me, so Fourth Brother doesn't eat all my big chicken legs!"
Although she's a baby who's eaten a lot of meat now, chicken drumsticks are still her favorite.
"Alright then." Huo Yusen knew that even if he went in, there was nothing he could do.
"Goodbye, Brother Xiao Jiu."
Qiqi closed the door, walked back to the window, sat down cross-legged again, and focused on purifying the evil energy.
She also released the female ghost from the hairband; since she needed to be purified anyway, she might as well help her too.
The evil energy on the female ghost is almost completely purified, and she will soon be cleaned up and sent to the underworld to be reincarnated.
The female ghost glanced at the door and said, "Little Master, why didn't you let that little boy come in to help you? His purple aura was so thick; with him there, you would have been much more successful."
When Qiqi went out to talk to Huo Yusen just now, she secretly observed her.
The little boy possessed a strong imperial aura, an aura that could help cultivators restore their spiritual power.
"Master said that cultivation is a personal matter, and one cannot always think of taking shortcuts. This is a very dangerous idea, because once you take that first step, even greater desires will be waiting, and you will soon be doomed!"
Qiqi's chubby little face was full of seriousness as she looked at the female ghost with a stern warning, "You can't even think about making a move on Brother Xiao Jiu!"
The female ghost met her gaze, shrank her shoulders, and said cowardly, "Don't worry, little master, I wouldn't dare."
"It'd better not dare." Qiqi wrinkled her nose and snorted. "I'm about to purify the evil aura on you, then I can send you away."
"Thank you, Master."
By the time Qiqi had completely purified the evil aura from the creature, it was already late afternoon.
She rubbed her rumbling tummy, opened the door, and went out.
I wonder if there's still anything to eat at this hour.
As soon as Qiqi went downstairs, Madam Ji, who was waiting downstairs, immediately heard the noise, stood up from the sofa, and went over.
"Qi Bao, are you done with your work?" Madam Ji looked at Qi Qi's pale face with some concern. "Are you hungry?"
Qiqi gave her mother a weak smile and nodded: "Mmm, Mom, is there any more food?"
This was the first time Qiqi had missed a mealtime since arriving at the Ji family.
When I was in the orphanage, I would miss meals if I missed them.
The headmaster said that although they are still children, they must have a sense of time and know what to do at what time. If they miss a time, they must accept the corresponding punishment.
Seeing Qiqi's pitiful appearance, Madam Ji felt extremely sorry for her and quickly said, "Of course there is! Your favorite big chicken leg, Mom saved it for you. It's in the kitchen. Come on, Mom will take you to eat it."
"Really?" Qiqi's eyes lit up instantly, and even her complexion improved. Her big, round eyes darted around with a bright light. "Mommy, where are my brother and the others?"
"Your eldest and second brothers went to the research institute, your third and Jin Su brothers are resting in their rooms, and your fourth and fifth brothers went out to play. Xiao Jiu had something to do and went out as well. But don't worry, Huo Fei and the others are following us closely." Madam Ji patiently told her about her brothers' whereabouts one by one, put her in a dining chair, and loudly instructed the servants to heat up the leftover food and bring it up.
Qiqi blinked: "What about Sixth Brother?"
"Sixth Brother..." Madam Ji pursed her lips, "Your eldest brother's professor introduced a very skilled doctor to Sixth Brother, and Sixth Brother has gone to see the doctor."
"Oh." Qiqi swung her little legs while sitting in her high chair. "Is it okay for Sixth Brother to be alone?"
"Dad is on his way, don't worry."
Qiqi was relieved: "That's good."
The servants quickly brought out steaming hot food, all of which were specially reserved for her by Madam Ji, and were all her favorite dishes.
Qiqi's mouth was watering as she looked at the table full of delicious food.
She ate some cake in the morning to fill her stomach, and then she hadn't eaten anything since. Now she was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back.
However, she still politely said to Madam Ji, "Thank you, Mom. I'll start eating now."
Then, without waiting, he grabbed a chicken leg with his left hand and a piece of pork rib with his right, and started gnawing on it.
The sauce got on her face, and she stuck out her little tongue to lick it; she looked so adorable.
Watching Qiqi eat is a very appetizing experience.
Mrs. Ji watched from the side and found it pleasing to the eye, occasionally using a napkin to wipe the oil stains off her face.
After finishing all the delicious food on the table, Qiqi let out a satisfied burp, a happy smile spreading across her face.
Ah... every day now, she feels like she's living in a dream, bubbling with happiness.
Madam Ji had the servants remove the plates from the table, and then cut up a plate of fruit for Qiqi and brought it up.
When the butler came in to report, Madam Ji was feeding Qiqi fruit.
"Madam, Madam Xie is here. She said she had arranged to go shopping with you, but you haven't gone yet, so she was a little worried and came to check on you."
Qiqi looked at Madam Ji curiously: "Mommy, who is Madam Xie?"
“She’s a good friend of my mother’s for many years,” Mrs. Ji explained, then looked at the butler and said, “Uncle Lin, please invite her in.”
She did indeed make an appointment with Wenlan, who is also Mrs. Xie, to go shopping today.
As a result, Qiqi was busy and didn't go out. Since no one else was home, she didn't feel comfortable leaving Qiqi in the care of her youngest son, who was still a child. So she stayed home and waited, completely forgetting about her appointment with Wenlan.
Qiqi blinked. Why did her mother's face suddenly look like she was being targeted by a villain?
She took a talisman out of her bag and handed it to Madam Ji: "Mom, this is a talisman to ward off backstabbers. Please keep it close to your body."
