Chapter 852: Extra Chapter 4: 89

Xiao Jiu greatly loved this atmosphere of everyone gathering together happily and harmoniously.

She couldn't help but drink a few more cups, and her cheeks already flushed.

Liu Junyan was surrounded by everyone asking questions, but her gaze would occasionally sweep over Xiao Jiu.

Seeing her hold a highball glass, stretch her body and lean on the sofa, chatting and laughing with those nearby, that mature woman's unique laziness and sensuality made Liu Junyan's heart heat up.

In that moment, countless emotions surged up.

Ten years, he really missed out on so much.

The most important ten years of Xiao Jiu's transition from a young girl to a mature woman, he actually missed them just like that.

He liked Xiao Jiu's youthful innocence, and loved even more her mature laziness.

Liu Junyan discovered that any subtle change in Xiao Jiu could bring him endless delight, making him unable to resist wanting to hide her away, to pluck her fully, so she would bloom only for him.

Xiao Jiu was slowly sipping the red wine in her glass when Hu Sanmei suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear: 'Xiao Jiu, Seventh Lord is simply crazy about you.'

Xiao Jiu's pretty face instantly flushed red: 'Hu Jie, please don't tease me.'

"I'm not teasing you." Hu Sanmei clung close to Xiao Jiu, the fragrance emanating from her body intoxicating, "Just take a discreet look yourself—Seventh Lord's gaze at you looks like he wants to devour you."

Xiao Jiu instinctively glanced toward Liu Junyan.

Their eyes met in midair, and Xiao Jiu instantly looked away.

She felt a bit annoyed, couldn't this man restrain himself a little?

From last night's return until this morning, haven't you been fed enough yet?

Hu Sanmei saw Xiao Jiu's earlobes red enough to drip blood, hugged her and laughed gleefully.

Xiao Jiu, annoyed, went to scratch her: 'You still have the nerve to say that about me? Hu Dage has been peeling shrimp and grapes for you since he sat down, even feeding them to your lips—I see your relationship isn't any worse than ours.'

Hu Sanmei, however, was not at all shy; instead she threw Xiao Jiu a flirtatious look and continued whispering in her ear: 'How is it? Did I train you well? Want sis to teach you a few moves? I've recently developed two kinds of bedchamber fragrances—want to try them?'

Xiao Jiu really wanted to cover Hu Sanmei's mouth.

Hu Sanmei truly is a fox spirit skilled at bewitching hearts—Xiao Jiu simply couldn't withstand her.

After they fooled around for a while, Hu Sanmei then said seriously: 'By the way, why didn't Shulan come? I heard she was recently abducted by a young man to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.'

Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow: 'Mm, that's true.'

Hu Sanmei immediately turned serious: 'Was it the young man who abducted her, or did she abduct someone else?'

Look.

Those familiar with Bai Shulan all have the same first reaction.

Nobody believes Bai Shulan could be abducted by a boy who just turned 22.

But the fact is……she, both person and heart, have been abducted by him.

Xiao Jiu then briefly told Hu Sanmei about the matter concerning Bai Shulan and Guyun Que.

After hearing it, Hu Sanmei clicked her tongue repeatedly: 'Truly, one thing restrains another! But I feel these two haven't fully opened their love apertures yet; they probably still have quite a ordeal before they can achieve fruition.'

'Not in a hurry,' Xiao Jiu said. 'The future is long; let's just wait and see.'

Hu Sanmei nodded, then asked again: 'After Seventh Lord returned, has he seen Chuanchuan yet?'

'Not yet,' Xiao Jiu said. 'Chuanchuan hasn't emerged from seclusion; we need to wait for notice from Xiaoye.'

Hu Sanmei said: 'No wonder Xiaoye and Xuxu didn't come today; it seems Chuanchuan's side is at a critical stage.'

'Yes,' Xiao Jiu sighed. 'These years, Xuxu's side has almost become a nursery; it's also strange that Xiaoye's aura pressure is so strong, yet the children aren't afraid of him and all love to run to the Linghai Dragon Palace.'

'The key is that Xuxu is good,' Hu Sanmei said. 'When Xiaoye meets Xuxu, the pressure instantly disappears; when the children were young, they mainly circled around Xuxu, unable to feel Xiaoye's strong aura. When they grew older, they all began cultivating—who wouldn't like the cultivation atmosphere of the Linghai Dragon Palace? If they could even get a bit of guidance from Xiaoye, it would be something they desperately want; these kids, each one smarter than the last.'

Xiao Jiu nodded thoughtfully; that's also true.

Back then, whenever Liu Junyan encountered a thorny issue, she also liked to go chat with Xiaoye.

Xiaoye always could give Liu Junyan the most timely help.

That night, almost nobody slept.

Liu Junyan had only returned after ten or so years, but there was so much to talk about that everyone wished to compress those ten or so years into this one day and night, chatting to their heart's content.

Many unresolved matters also received a definite solution that night.

That night was also when Xiao Jiu felt most relaxed.

The people she trusted and liked most were basically all there; she could completely relax—even if she got dead drunk, even if she became a hands-off manager, if the sky fell, someone would shield her.

Finally, Xiao Jiu buried her head in Hu Sanmei's embrace and fell into a deep sleep.

Hu Sanmei is too fragrant.

This bodily fragrance is sweet but not cloying, alluring but not vulgar; just wrapping you in it is enough to make you addicted.

In her half-dreaming, half-waking state, Xiao Jiu still thought: 'Hu Yulin really has good luck—he can hug such a fragrant, soft beauty to sleep every day.'

Indeed……fools have fool's blessings.

Hmph, as she sees it, Hu Yulin is not stupid at all; he's quite shrewd, just intermittently blind.

Past three in the morning, almost everyone was asleep.

Yin Dang Hang had enough rooms to accommodate everyone, yet they all crowded into the reception hall—some sleeping on floor mats, some on sofas, some slumped over tables… anyway, they slept in all sorts of ways.

Liu Junyan and Hu Yulin these two brothers again had a private chat in the main courtyard.

They grew up together wearing the same pants, their feelings very deep.

Liu Junyan was very concerned about the situation of the Yin Mountain Fox Clan.

Hu Yulin told him that the hardest days had already been endured; now they had cultivated another batch of juniors, the eldest about the same size as Shan Shan, and soon they could stand on their own.

By then, he and Hu Sanmei would both be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Junyan felt happy for Hu Yulin; he patted Hu Yulin's shoulder and said earnestly: 'Actually, from the very start you took a detour—Sanmei has always been the most suitable person for you.'

Being of the same clan, their future reproduction will yield offspring of predictably high quality.

Hu Yulin scratched his head and said: 'I… I really am a bit clumsy-eyed, but fortunately, everything is still in time.'

Liu Junyan couldn't help but tease: "You're not just clumsy-eyed, you're practically blind, causing me to suffer behind you."

Feng Lishu's affair simply became a blemish on Hu Yulin's fox life.

Now, whenever he thinks of this person, Hu Yulin regrets immensely.

Around four o'clock, Liu Junyan and Hu Yulin returned to the reception hall.

The two quickly locked their gazes onto the target they were seeking.

But they discovered that the two were tightly embraced, sleeping soundly…
