“As long as it’s nothing serious, as long as it’s nothing serious!”

When Qin Mi heard it was over, she subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, clearly unaware of the danger just moments ago.

It was truly fortunate that Yaoyao was present. If it had been someone with insufficient Daoist cultivation, the Gong family’s sole heir would have met his end here today.

Yaoyao didn’t intend to tell the latter about this matter either, because when she severed their symbiotic connection, she also conveniently sealed his special constitution.

From now on, this little brother of the Gong family would no longer have the ability to separate his soul from his body. Telling Auntie Qin now would serve no purpose other than to make her worry.

“Auntie, what you want is inside here!”

Just then, a pair of tender little hands reached out. She looked up.

She found a small, jade-carved doll lying quietly in the latter’s hand. From its appearance, one could tell it was a girl.

Qin Mi instantly understood the significance of this doll. Her hands trembling, she carefully took it.

Though it was a piece of jade, cold to the touch, Qin Mi could feel it as if it were flesh and blood.

Was this her daughter who had never seen the world?

Her eyes reddened, and she nodded with a hoarse voice, “Okay, thank you, Master!”

Yaoyao said softly, “You’re welcome. Later, I will open Auntie’s ’Heavenly Eye’ so you can see her.”

“You have three days. Auntie can do whatever you want to do for your little sister. When the time is up, Yaoyao will come back to take the doll.”

Three days was the absolute limit a wandering soul could linger in the human world. Any longer, and there was a risk the wandering soul would turn into an orphaned, wild ghost.

An ordinary soul might still be able to hide in the human world, but this little sister couldn’t; her soul-body was too fragile.

Once she became an orphaned, wild ghost, death was certain.

Yaoyao was afraid that the little brother and Auntie Qin would be too reluctant and do something foolish, so she explained this crucial point beforehand.

“Okay, I’ll remember!” Qin Mi nodded.

Although she was reluctant to part with her daughter, she also understood that she couldn’t delay her daughter’s reincarnation because of her own feelings.

“This… this is too incredible!”

It seemed the almost farcical turn of events had finally ended.

Everyone present looked at each other. Then, a moment later, they all turned their gazes in unison towards Yaoyao.

This little daughter of the Gu family – today, they had witnessed a side of her unknown to outsiders.

No wonder the Gu family had so suddenly adopted a daughter. It was probably not just a matter of finding her pleasing to the eye; it was highly likely related to this little girl’s ability to divine Yin and Yang.

Only with this understanding did they feel it was reasonable. After all, as the wealthiest family in the Imperial Capital, the Gu family was destined not to act as casually as ordinary people.

“Now that it’s resolved, let’s eat something. You’ve been hungry all evening!” Chen Hui was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment. She smiled and placed a piece of squab meat on her daughter’s plate.

The reason she was happy was because she had noticed the change in everyone’s attitude.

Previously, when these people looked at her daughter, they all felt that Yaoyao was marrying up by joining their Gu family. But in reality, it wasn’t like that at all!

On the contrary, the Gu family had benefited greatly because of their daughter. It was just that no one would believe this fact if it were said aloud, so Chen Hui hadn’t wasted her breath.

But that didn’t mean she wasn’t holding back some resentment. Now, seeing the undispersed shock and awe in their eyes after witnessing her daughter’s abilities, she instantly felt a sense of relief throughout her body.

“This squab is their signature dish, try it quickly.” Chen Hui had always been a composed person, but at this moment, she didn’t care.

After all, not just anyone could bask in her daughter’s glory. And that proud expression made everyone present feel envious.

However, envy was all they were fated to feel!

“Yaoyao likes pine nut rice cakes, ah! Then you can come to Auntie Song’s house next time. Auntie is very good at making rice cakes!”

“You can also come to Auntie Jiang’s house. We have chefs from all over, all kinds of cuisines.”

“…”

At the banquet, someone with a keen eye noticed that the Gu family’s little daughter seemed to have a particular fondness for food, and immediately, some people couldn’t sit still.

One had to know, this little daughter of the Gu family was a genuine little master.

Who could guarantee they wouldn’t encounter trouble in their lifetime?

There were too many fake masters out there nowadays. If one truly encountered trouble and fell into the hands of those fakes, they might not even be able to save their own lives.

Therefore, upon encountering a truly capable master, they naturally tried their best to curry favor. This was also in preparation for that day when trouble might arise, so they wouldn’t be without recourse.

“Okay! When I have time, Yaoyao will definitely go!”

Yaoyao also agreed with a bright smile, not only because of the invitation to enjoy delicious food but also because these people were her mother’s friends.

Chen Hui didn’t say much from beginning to end. She was happier than anyone that her daughter could be in the limelight like this.

This gathering ultimately ended very much in line with her expectations. Even after returning to the Gu family home, this feeling hadn’t dissipated.

Coincidentally, Gu Xuesong had gone on a business trip out of town for a few days. Chen Hui, in high spirits, pulled her daughter to sleep with her.

Yaoyao hadn’t slept with her mother for a long time either. She eagerly changed into her pajamas and snuggled softly into her mother’s embrace.

“Mommy, you smell so good!”

Being hugged by Yaoyao, the scent of jasmine flowers reached her nose, and a look of intoxication appeared on her small face.

Hearing this, Chen Hui paused for a moment and said, “Yaoyao likes it? Then Mommy will use this next time!”

This was a newly customized perfume blended by a perfume company according to Chen Hui’s preferences. It was said that the formula came from ancient texts.

It was only recently that their research and development team had successfully developed it, mainly targeting the high-luxury market.

Once launched, it quickly became a sensation, practically a bottle that was hard to come by.

Of course, this difficulty naturally didn’t apply to Chen Hui. With her status, obtaining a bottle was not difficult.

This was also her first time using it today. She hadn’t expected her daughter to like it, so she thought about switching to this one more often in the future.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Time to sleep!”

Chen Hui stroked her daughter’s little head. After a whole day of commotion, she herself was feeling a bit drained.

Besides, the perfume also contained calming ingredients, and a drowsy feeling began to creep in.

“Mommy, goodnight!”

Yaoyao sensed her mother’s fatigue. She obediently stopped fussing and instead turned her head to give her mother a kiss on the cheek.

Then, she snuggled into her mother’s embrace, closed her eyes, and began to drift off to sleep.

The bedroom lights were smart; when the room fell silent, they would automatically turn off without needing to be manually operated.

In the quiet room, only the sound of light breathing remained.

And Chen Hui, lying on the bed, at this moment, patches of dark patterns inexplicably appeared on the skin exposed to the air.

They spread and grew like wildly proliferating weeds, then swiftly rushed towards the position of her heart.

If the latter had been awake, she would have discovered that the starting point of these dark patterns was precisely where she had sprayed the perfume.

These things looked eerie. Just as they were about to approach her heart, Yaoyao, sleeping in Chen Hui’s arms, suddenly snapped her eyes open.

With swift eyes and quick hands, she rapidly reached out and grabbed at the patterns. Because it happened too suddenly, the patterns didn’t react in time and were firmly grasped in her hand.

When she opened her palm to look, she saw two black threads, like strands of hair. They seemed to sense danger and writhed irritably in her hand, but their efforts were naturally in vain!

This is… Gu?

After Yaoyao focused her gaze, she instantly recognized the origin of these two things!
