Chapter 959: Chapter 959: Only I Can Guard It (6)

Xiu Xi probably didn’t expect her to ask that, frowning slightly and then saying with a matter-of-fact tone: “She is mine.”

“…” Shu Jiao.

Originally quite moved and shocked, still trying to digest everything he said, her heart suddenly tightens upon hearing his words, and she finally understands the feeling her husband had every time he faced Xiu Xi – that itching hatred yet utter helplessness.

In his eyes, it was probably the Ruan Family who stole his cat, rather than him stealing their treasure.

Shu Jiao couldn’t help but laugh at this thought.

Xiu Xi looked at her expressionlessly.

Shu Jiao waved her hand in embarrassment, coughed, and then rectified her attitude: “Sorry, Auntie was rude. It’s just that, Xiaoxi, Jiaojiao is no longer a cat now; she’s human, so your words… at the very least should wait until nine years from now.”

“I know.” Xiu Xi had long understood the rules of this world.

Shu Jiao licked her lips, suddenly realizing that their topic seemed to have gone astray, quite significantly at that. She could only steer back to the main subject, asking: “What do you plan to do about the Duan Family situation?”

Going back is definitely not an option. If he returns, her daughter would be headed down a dead-end road.

She now understood that her daughter’s fate was tied to Xiu Xi; they couldn’t be separated, or else she would encounter endless disasters.

Just a few days after they parted, her daughter fell seriously ill. If he truly left, she could hardly bear to think of the consequences.

“I’ve already spoken with Duan Qianyang, we have a transaction.”

“You’ve spoken with Duan Qianyang? And there’s a transaction?” Shu Jiao looked at him, surprised. She was just about to marvel at his audacity when she quickly remembered that he was the King of All Beasts in his previous life, so naturally, he wouldn’t be afraid of someone like Duan Qianyang.

Xiu Xi nodded, Duan Qianyang just wanted to have a look at the child. He didn’t tell him that the real Xiu Xi was dead, just said he was living well now and didn’t want to return to the Duan Family.

That old man wanted him to return to the Duan Family, what he wanted was not the original Xiu Xi, but him; yet how could he belong to the Duan Family?

But as a way to repay for occupying this body, he promised Duan Qianyang that he would recover. He wasn’t really seriously ill, but suffered from extreme exhaustion and worry, which led to his prolonged sickness.

“What transaction?”

“To get him well again.”

“…” Shu Jiao was somewhat worried: “Xiaoxi, Duan Qianyang has been ill for over a decade, I fear that…”

“He’s not sick; it’s only a mental affliction.” Xiu Xi replied, he wouldn’t agree to something if he wasn’t confident about it.

“Alright.” Shu Jiao felt she should perhaps trust him, after all, he was… the King of All Beasts.

Having discussed this far, the conversation between the two was about done. Shu Jiao knew that for Ruan Jiaojiao, no matter what kind of tribulations the future held, as long as Xiu Xi was there, he would be the all-powerful amulet.

Now, the only thing she needed to do was to watch over her daughter’s amulet and not let anyone else steal it away!

As Xiu Xi prepared to leave, Shu Jiao suddenly thought of something else and called him back: “Xiaoxi, Madam Yuan said that Jiaojiao is the reincarnation of her daughter, is that true?”

Xiu Xi turned back: “I don’t know.” He only knew about the two lives of Ruan Jiaojiao, nothing more.

But according to the timeline, it was possible.

“The sins she commits will be repaid on those close to her.” Especially Ruan Jiaojiao, who inherently attracts calamity, more so than ordinary people.
