Chapter 19 Little 99 is the real devil
Night falls.
Inside the front hall of the Ye family's old house.
Ye Zhengping only invited Ye Yuansong's family and Xiao Jiujiu to have dinner together.
"You're up to something, aren't you?"
Uncle doesn't know how to thank you enough, let me just drink this myself!
As he spoke, Ye Yuansong poured a glass of wine directly into his mouth.
The alcohol soaked his tie.
He rushed home as soon as he got off work, without even having time to change out of his suit.
"Old Ye, you..."
Zhou Jing, standing next to him, looked speechless.
"This……"
Ye Yuansong's unrestrained manner startled Xiao Jiujiu.
She blinked her big eyes, glanced at Ye Chen beside her, and then looked at Ye Yuansong: "Uncle, drink less."
"Did you hear me, Old Ye!"
Zhou Jing tugged at him, "Sit down quickly, don't embarrass yourself!"
"okay."
Ye Yuansong scratched his head and sat down.
"Oh right, there's something I haven't told my parents yet."
Ye Chen first put some chicken on Xiao Jiu Jiu's plate before starting to talk about business.
"Speak," Ye Yuansong nodded to him.
Ye Chen: "Starting today, Xiao Jiu is my little sister. Can she be registered under your name, Dad?"
"what?"
Ye Yuansong raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous.
Zhou Jing didn't object: "That's fine too, I happen to want a daughter."
"I've already told Grandpa about this." Fearing his father might disagree, Ye Chen mentioned Grandpa Ye.
Grandpa Ye nodded: "Yes, I agree to this."
"Of course!" Ye Yuansong laughed heartily and downed another glass. "Great, let's celebrate!"
Ye Chen gave an elegant smile and served Xiao Jiu Jiu some food: "Do you like it?"
"Mm!" Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded.
Ye Zhengping glared at Ye Yuansong, then turned to Xiao Jiu Jiu and whispered, "Jiu Jiu, don't mind your Uncle Ye, he's just a roughneck!"
"Pfft!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Okay~"
"Come on, Xiao Jiu, have a piece of braised pork."
Your grandfather said that your favorite food is braised pork!
As he spoke, Ye Zhengping used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork for Xiao Jiu Jiu.
"Thank you, Grandpa Ye!" Little Jiu Jiu called out in a clear voice, placing her chopsticks on the braised pork.
The braised pork in front of me was tender and smooth, with a bright red color and an enticing aroma.
Xiao Jiu Jiu ate half of it in one bite.
The fat of the braised pork is translucent, while the lean meat is reddish-brown. It's rich but not greasy, and lean but not dry.
The rich flavor reminded Xiao Jiu Jiu of the braised pork her grandfather used to make.
It tastes better than what Grandpa makes.
That peculiar feeling was missing.
As she ate, Xiao Jiujiu gradually stopped.
The food in my mouth gradually became bland and tasteless.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's nose tingled with emotion.
She misses her grandfather again.
I miss my grandpa's braised pork.
She longed for the bizarre and fantastical stories her grandfather had told her.
What I miss most is my grandfather's warm embrace.
Xiao Jiu Jiu kept her head down and her lips tightly pursed to control her emotions.
"Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Chen noticed something was off about Xiao Jiu; she stopped eating and frowned slightly. "Does she not like any of the dishes?"
It's better if they don't say anything.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's concerned inquiry, Xiao Jiu Jiu felt even more aggrieved.
She shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Tears streamed down her face.
"Oh dear, what's wrong, Ninth Girl? Come here to Grandpa Ye."
Ye Zhengping looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu with heartache.
Looking up, Xiao Jiu Jiu met everyone's concerned expressions and sniffled.
She ran to Ye Zhengping and threw herself into his arms: "Waaah, I missed Grandpa!"
"I miss that old geezer too!" Ye Zhengping patted Xiao Jiujiu's head.
Ye Chen and Grandpa Ye exchanged a glance, then Ye Chen hugged Xiao Jiu Jiu tightly, saying, "Xiao Jiu, be good, don't cry..."
"I know."
With her eyes swollen like peaches, Xiao Jiu Jiu buried her head on Ye Chen's shoulder and cried for a long time.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for keeping you from having dinner." Composing herself, Xiao Jiu Jiu apologized to everyone.
Xiao Zhiyin smiled and said, "It's alright, Xiao Jiujiu. Just treat us as your family."
In this regard.
Xiao Jiu Jiu just smiled and didn't respond.
She knew that Brother Ye was very good to her, and that Grandpa Ye and the others were also very kind.
but she……
I'm losing control of myself.
Looking down at her slightly grimy palms, Xiao Jiu Jiu looked up and smiled, "Let's eat~"
"it is good!"
*
That night, Xiao Jiu Jiu lay on the soft bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
She released the ghost in the long robe that she had just captured that day: "Why were you inside the bracelet?"
【Master Celestial Master!】
The ghost in the long robe bowed to Xiao Jiu Jiu before saying, "Actually... ah!"
He had barely opened his mouth and uttered two sentences when he turned into a wisp of black smoke, drifting high into the sky.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked down.
The coal ball's emerald green eyes stared blankly at the long-robed ghost: "You really dare to show your face!"
Previously, the long-sleeved ghost was taken away by Xiao Jiujiu's group, and Coal Ball didn't pay much attention.
Don't hit me! Don't hit me anymore!
The ghost in the long robe hid on the roof beam: "I really didn't mean it, Master, please forgive me!"
He looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu with a pitiful expression.
The coal ball scoffed: "Begging won't help. Who told you to do such evil deeds!"
"Listen to my explanation, don't slap me apart again!" The long-robed ghost started arguing with the coal ball.
Xiao Jiu Jiu sighed.
He lay down with his hands behind his head.
She stood on tiptoe, swinging her legs back and forth, her gaze fixed on the bright moonlight outside the window.
He silently made up his mind.
This place is great.
But she wants to leave here and go find her father!
Staying here will only restrict your actions.
"I want to leave this place!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu roared and sat up.
Both the coal ball and the long-gown ghost were terrified.
[Xiao Jiu, are you leaving?]
"Ok!"
The ghost in the long robe bowed and said, "Master Celestial, may I follow you."
"Meow~!"
Don't think I won't scratch you just because you're like this!
The ghost in the long robe, hiding behind Xiao Jiu Jiu, thought: [I don't care, I'm going to follow Master Tian Shi.]
"Stop following."
Xiao Jiu Jiu got up and took out a talisman from her bag.
Holding the talisman between his right index finger and drawing an upward slash with his left hand: "The Netherworld Flower appears, the Gate of Hell opens, the summoner is seen, and wealth is born upon seeing it..."
"Dingling bell~"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the bells rang.
Two figures appeared as white smoke rose.
One black and one white.
He had a smile on his white face, was tall and thin, had a pale complexion, and had a long tongue sticking out.
The official hat on his head had the four characters "一见生财" (meaning "to make money at first sight") written on it.
It had a dark, ferocious face, a broad and fat body, and was small in stature with a dark complexion.
His official hat bore the inscription "Peace Under Heaven".
"Uncle Xie, Uncle Fan."
When Xiao Jiu Jiu saw them, she ran over and pointed at the ghost in the long robe: "That's him! I wonder how long he's been on the run!"
[Ghost, ghost! 】
The man in the long robe screamed.
What kind of person could summon ghost messengers?
He didn't have time to think and took off running.
"Why run!"
Fan Wujiu threw out the Soul-Hooking Rope and easily brought the man in the long robe back.
"Master Celestial Master, Master Celestial Master, please save me!" the man in the long robe cried out to Xiao Jiu Jiu for help.
"Oh!"
Xie Bi'an, who was standing next to him, took out a white mourning stick and hit the man in the long robe on the head.
He said in an icy tone, "You have committed a grave crime by privately signing a contract with a living person in an attempt to seize their body!"
"Yes."
Xiao Jiu Jiu gave him a cute smile: "I don't intend to let you off the hook for how you treated Grandma Xiao."
"You, you demon! You are a demon!"
Only then did the man in the long gown realize...
Xiao Jiujiu is not a child who can be easily fooled or deceived.
But he's a scary little devil!
