Chapter 1162: The Two Who Are Jealous

Lin Yi teased Facing Huo Jinglin for half an hour before finally settling down; Facing Huo Jinglin let out a long sigh, thinking he had made a huge contribution to the entire team.

Lin Yi, exhausted from playing, slumped on the sofa and said weakly, "I'm telling you, Miss Yanqi, you can't hide things from me anymore. Do you know how much my poor little heart aches?"

Gu Yanqi went to fetch two cups of water and handed them to Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin.

"Mm, I understand. Actually, I didn't intentionally hide it from you."

Lin Yi waved his hand; he actually understood that no one did it on purpose; he just wanted to lift everyone's spirits.

However, he truly didn't know about this matter, and deep down, he felt a bit of pain.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Miss Yanqi to have abilities already. Now, among everyone present, only I have none. It's too unbearable."

"It's fine. If you don't have any, this Great Lord will protect you." Suddenly, a paw appeared behind Lin Yi, and then Little Qiongqi flew out, flapping its wings.

"W-what is this?!" Xu Yue looked in surprise at the small creature that suddenly appeared before her.

What kind of creature is this? She had never seen anything like this before, and it could even speak.

Not only was Xu Yue surprised; even Xu Ri looked at Little Qiongqi several times, confusion flashing in his eyes.

Little Qiongqi flew into Gu Yanqi's arms, flapping its wings, and even found a comfortable position, lying there like an old uncle.

"You're awake." Gu Yanqi stroked Little Qiongqi's fur; the comfortable beast squinted its eyes and purred, "Gurgle, gurgle."

Gu Yanqi smiled with her lips pressed together.

Earlier, after Little Qiongqi said it wanted to sleep, it had not woken up; if not for its breathing, Gu Yanqi would have thought it was dead.

And this nap of Little Qiongqi's lasted several days.

Seeing Little Qiongqi's fluffy fur, Xu Yue felt her own hands itching.

"Miss Yanqi, what, what is this thing?"

Before Gu Yanqi could speak, Little Qiongqi suddenly jumped up and flew in front of Xu Yue.

The sudden closing of distance between the human and the beast startled Xu Yue.

Xu Ri, thinking Little Qiongqi meant to harm Xu Yue, extended his hand to release his ability, wanting to stop it.

Everything happened so fast that it didn't even give others time to react.

And after Xu Ri's ability touched Little Qiongqi, it all vanished; Little Qiongqi then licked its paw and looked at Xu Yue arrogantly, saying.

"Hey, Miss, this Great Lord is not just 'something.' Listen well: this Great Lord is Little Qiongqi, one of the Four Fiendish Beasts."

Xu Ri frowned, looking at his hand; he had indeed released his ability just now, but that ability dissipated as it approached this Little Qiongqi before him.

Xu Yue could clearly perceive that Little Qiongqi did not intend to harm her; it had only come to teach her for her rudeness just now.

It seemed this Little Qiongqi before her had a good heart.

Xu Yue grabbed Xu Ri's hand, which was about to release his ability again; she looked at Little Qiongqi seriously and said, "I understand. I apologize for my rudeness just now. May I ask if you can forgive me?"

Xu Yue's attitude was quite sincere; actually, Little Qiongqi was not angry to begin with, nor did it want this Miss to apologize.

When it was with other Fiendish Beasts before, they would fight at the slightest disagreement; coming here and meeting Ning Chen and the others, everyone except Gu Yanqi was male.

And men don't speak in a coy manner; plus Gu Yanqi is gentle and considerate, so Little Qiongqi wouldn't be fierce toward her.

So, suddenly being apologized to by Xu Yue, it was somewhat at a loss.

"Alright, alright, this Great Lord forgives you. Just don't do it again next time."

To avoid trouble, Little Qiongqi quickly responded to Xu Yue, then flew back into Gu Yanqi's arms.

Seeing Little Qiongqi's cute appearance, Xu Yue couldn't help but speak up: "Um, can I pet you?"

Little Qiongqi raised its eyes, glanced at Xu Yue, and said nothing.

Gu Yanqi, who had lived and eaten with Little Qiongqi and spent time with it, immediately understood Little Qiongqi's meaning.

"It says yes; you can just pet it."

Xu Yue naturally believed Gu Yanqi's words; she glanced at Little Qiongqi, then cautiously extended her hand and touched its back.

Indeed, just as she thought, equally soft!

Girls have always had no resistance to fluffy things; at this moment, Xu Yue felt she couldn't bear to let go.

Xu Yue petted Little Qiongqi's back, while Gu Yanqi stroked its head.

With two people serving it at once, Little Qiongqi felt extremely comfortable and unconsciously let out two "hmmphs" from its nose.

Suddenly, two beams of gaze capable of killing gathered on Little Qiongqi; the animal's instinctual perception told it there was danger.

Little Qiongqi quickly stood up, looking alertly around.

"Little Qiongqi, what's wrong?" Seeing Little Qiongqi suddenly stand up, Gu Yanqi asked curiously.

At the very moment Little Qiongqi stood up, those two beams of gaze suddenly vanished.

Little Qiongqi frowned; what's the situation? It didn't feel wrong.

"We've stopped." Xu Ri, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

Only then did everyone realize that the vehicle had indeed stopped.

Ning Chen walked from the driver's seat, looked at Little Qiongqi in Gu Yanqi's arms, narrowed his eyes, then returned to normal, looking at everyone and saying.

"We've arrived. Get out and buy supplies."

"Ah, right, right, right, buy supplies. By the way, Little Qiongqi, follow me. I have no abilities; I'm helpless."

Lin Yi hurriedly stood up and snatched Little Qiongqi from Gu Yanqi's arms.

"Hey, I'm telling you, why are you so rough!" Little Qiongqi glared at Lin Yi, seeming very dissatisfied with his actions.

Lin Yi looked at Little Qiongqi helplessly; I'm telling you, big brother, I'm saving you! Didn't you see Brother Ning's gaze just now, ready to eat people!

"Brother, you'll protect me, right?" Xu Yue grabbed Xu Ri's arm and playfully blinked her eyes.

"Of course, I will definitely protect you and not let you suffer any harm!" Xu Ri was in a good mood; he even said this sentence with a smile.

Being relied upon so much by his own sister, Xu Ri's complaint toward Little Qiongqi for getting too close to it just now vanished completely.

That's right; the two beams of gaze Little Qiongqi felt just now, one was Xu Ri's, and the other, of course, was Ning Chen's.

As someone who had finally gotten his wife back, how could he let anything else rank higher than himself?

The team had seven people in total: Ning Chen, Gu Yanqi, Lin Yi's group of three, Xiao Han, Xuyue and Xuri together, while Facing Huo Jinglin stayed behind to look after the RV.
