Chapter 223 Chu Jiuyue Prepares the Contract
223 Chu Jiuyue prepares the contract
Therefore, it firmly believes that as long as it persistently extends a helping hand to the host and wholeheartedly supports and assists the host, it will one day be able to win the host's complete trust. At that time, they will surely become the most in sync and perfect partners.
Xiao Ba silently comforted himself, and soon successfully convinced that slightly disappointed heart.
Just then, Chu Jiuyue remained silent for a while, lost in thought, before finally opening her mouth slowly and asking softly, "Xiao Ba, will anyone else overhear our conversation?"
Her sudden question not only left Xiao Ba completely bewildered, but even Mo Wenchen, who had been silently listening to her, was utterly confused and couldn't figure it out.
Even so, neither of them dared to interrupt Chu Jiuyue; instead, they both chose to listen quietly.
Although Xiao Ba was quite surprised and puzzled by the question posed by its host, it reacted quickly and gave a firm and decisive response.
The place we are in is an extremely special place, one that even the mysterious and incomparably powerful cannot easily infiltrate. It is precisely for this reason that He had to negotiate with me in exchange for terms. Do not think that He is the omnipotent and all-controlling Heavenly Dao; in reality, even at His peak, His abilities were subject to many limitations, and many things hindered Him.
Even at the height of His power, it would be utterly impossible for Him to infiltrate our territory. Of course, dear host, if you still have doubts or concerns, you only need to agree to enter into a contract with me.
In this way, it becomes even more difficult for Him to infiltrate our thoughts and inner world in the slightest. Host, please don't misunderstand my good intentions...
Xiao Ba looked worried, fearing that what he had just said might have caused unnecessary misunderstandings for his host, so he hurriedly began to explain.
It's important to understand that its suggestion was not intended to coerce or entice the host, but rather because once the contract is successfully signed, the connection between them will become increasingly close and solid.
Even the lofty Heavenly Dao could not break through this solid defense and disturb their thoughts and inner world.
Therefore, based on all these considerations, Xiao Ba made such a suggestion to the host.
Yes, I understand. Let me consider this matter carefully.
"I understand. Let me think about it carefully."
When Chu Jiuyue's clear and firm voice gently brushed past Xiao Ba's ears like a spring breeze, Xiao Ba was instantly stunned, as if struck by a sudden bolt of lightning, and froze on the spot.
Overwhelmed by a flood of complex emotions, he was at a loss.
They were all taken aback for a moment.
This is the first time the host has responded to its question so seriously and directly!
Moreover, it gave a clear and concise answer, how could Xiao Ba not be extremely excited? Xiao Ba felt as if a raging fire had been ignited in her heart, and joy welled up from the bottom of her heart, quickly spreading to every corner of her body.
This feeling is like someone who has been walking in darkness for a long time suddenly seeing warm lights flickering not far ahead, or like parched land finally receiving the long-awaited nourishing rain.
At this moment, Xiao Ba was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
It deeply felt that its efforts and hard work over such a long period of time had not been in vain, and it had finally gained the host's recognition.
The feeling of being affirmed is a thousand times more wonderful than tasting the most precious food in the world.
As he thought about it, Xiao Ba couldn't help but feel a little smug, secretly pleased with himself: Hehe, it seems that my performance was quite good!
Xiao Ba was overjoyed to realize that its host's attitude seemed to have softened a little.
In an effort to further solidify the host's positive impression, it quickly adopted a fawning and obsequious demeanor, speaking in an extremely gentle tone: "Host, please take your time to consider it. I have plenty of time, there's no rush at all, really no rush at all..."
That cautious yet slightly fawning expression was exactly like a little dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, making people unable to help but laugh.
Chu Jiuyue took in Xiao Ba's performance. A faint smile flashed in the depths of her eyes, almost imperceptible, as quick as a shooting star across the sky.
However, although the smile was fleeting, it did not escape Hachi's keen observation.
Seeing its host smile, Xiao Ba was even happier and tried even harder to please Chu Jiuyue, constantly muttering sweet words in hopes of winning its master's favor.
"Alright, since you're not in a hurry at all, then I'll just wait it out with you! Anyway, you don't seem like the kind of person who's impatient, so I can be patient too. Let's just wait it out and see who can outlast whom! But, my little Ba is the most understanding." After saying this, she deliberately winked at little Ba and added a few words of praise.
These words startled Xiao Ba, who was momentarily speechless and could only stand there, deeply moved.
That feeling was like a warm torrent instantly enveloping you, making you feel incredibly warm and happy.
However, Chu Jiuyue's next words left Xiao Ba somewhat at a loss: "Oh, Xiao Ba, I was just saying it casually, please don't take it to heart! I know you're just straightforward and don't mean any harm. So, don't expect me to change my mind because of what you said!"
Mo Wenchen, who had been silently observing from behind, took in all of this.
Seeing Chu Jiuyue teasing Xiao Ba like this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a subtle, indulgent smile.
At the same time, deep down, he began to carefully ponder the words Chu Jiuyue had just said.
For some reason, he always had a vague feeling that Chu Jiuyue had some unspoken words, and those unspoken words seemed to hide some very important information or secret.
Mo Wenchen stood by the window, his brows furrowed as he stared into the distance.
For some reason, he always felt that this seemingly ordinary world was shrouded in mystery, and was not as simple and pure as people saw it.
In particular, the words "the Way of Heaven" that his wife had mentioned unintentionally acted as a fuse, instantly igniting the flame of doubt deep within his heart.
Mo Wenchen keenly sensed that behind this so-called Heavenly Dao, there was very likely a huge conspiracy hidden.
An inexplicable intuition told him that this secret was like a treasure buried deep underground. Although it had not yet been discovered by the world, it would one day break through the soil and reveal its amazing true nature.
Compared to those beings who control the Heavenly Dao and unknown extraterrestrial powers, he and the others are nothing more than insignificant ants.
The thought of his current limited abilities filled Mo Wenchen with an unprecedented sense of urgency.
He knew that the changes that were about to happen in the future would likely far exceed his imagination. This uncertainty weighed heavily on his heart, like a huge boulder.
How should we deal with this confusing situation?
Just as Mo Wenchen was lost in deep worry, he could never have foreseen that in the not-too-distant future, the wheel of fate would begin to turn rapidly.
He will not only witness a completely different and extraordinary power, but also, with his unique opportunities and talents, stand out in a brand new field and eventually become a focus of attention, admired and sought after by countless people.
Of course, all of these are things we'll have to consider later.
At this moment, he was sitting there quietly, listening to Chu Jiuyue and Xiao Ba's back-and-forth conversation.
The noisy chatter of the people around him was like a gentle breeze passing by, utterly ignoring him.
His bright eyes remained fixed on his wife, never leaving her for a moment.
"...Host, you can actually speed things up! You know, if we can complete the contract as soon as possible, it will maximize our safety! Don't you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
Xiao Ba said these words with a fawning and obsequious expression, looking exactly like a little dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Hearing this, Chu Jiuyue couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
For some reason, a strange feeling quietly welled up in my heart.
In that instant, she seemed to glimpse another side of Hachi that no one else knew about.
Chu Jiuyue remained calm and composed, replying indifferently, "Little Ba, judging from your expression, you don't seem to be in no hurry at all."
She spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if she hadn't taken Xiao Ba's words to heart at all.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba froze on the spot, momentarily at a loss for words.
It inwardly regretted its actions: "Oh dear! Why did I have to be so talkative? If I hadn't said anything, the host might have readily agreed! It's all my fault for being so impatient. Now look what I've done!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ba was filled with remorse and couldn't help but secretly blame himself.
If I had been just a little bit more composed, perhaps this awkward situation wouldn't have happened.
However, at this moment, no amount of regret can change anything...
Although it is impossible to fully understand the thoughts in Hachi's mind, one can still vaguely detect the emotional fluctuations it exudes.
The feeling was quite peculiar, as if in that instant, one had glimpsed a side of Hachi that no one else knew, making one unable to help but chuckle.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll definitely investigate this thoroughly when we get home. But for now, let's just enjoy this good show in peace!"
After teasing Xiao Ba with a smile, Chu Jiuyue turned her gaze to the three people who were making a scene in the distance.
However, when she saw what the three people looked like, her lips twitched violently a few times, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.
Good heavens, this is no simple farce, it's a super drama starring three clowns!
While secretly groaning, Chu Jiuyue kept her eyes glued to the three people.
They went back and forth, neither giving way, creating a chaotic and bewildering situation.
"Oh dear, what on earth are they messing around with?"
Chu Jiuyue stared at the three of them with suspicion, their complicated relationship and tangled entanglement causing a series of questions to arise in her mind.
She naively thought that the storm would soon subside, but things not only did not improve, but became increasingly out of control. The tense atmosphere between the three was like a bowstring that was being pulled tighter and tighter, and it was on the verge of snapping at any moment.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, as if by magic, and the emotions of the three people were like a volcano about to erupt, suppressed yet restless.
"...Perhaps, that..."
Mo's mother stood aside, staring intently at the scene unfolding before her, her face showing disbelief.
She had been hoping that the matter would be resolved quickly and properly, but things didn't go as planned. Instead, the situation became more complicated, which made her feel heavy-hearted.
"It was almost over, why did it suddenly start making a fuss again?" Mother Mo murmured softly, her words revealing deep helplessness.
Using the word "causing a disturbance" to describe the current situation seems somewhat inappropriate.
After all, there was only one person present at the moment, who was hysterically crying and constantly recounting the pain he had endured and the various unfair treatments he had suffered.
This scene made Chu Jiuyue, who was standing to the side, wonder: Is this girl's judgment flawed?
Even if you cry your heart out, can't you feel the disgust, aversion, and even a hint of hatred in the man's eyes when he looks at you?
In this situation, Chu Jiuyue found it difficult to judge whether she was exceptionally intelligent or utterly foolish.
You should know that when a man feels disgusted with you, even if you cry your heart out and look miserable, he will not feel the slightest bit of pity.
In fact, the current situation cannot be entirely blamed on Wang Baozi alone. Liu Jiajia herself is also partly to blame and can be said to have brought it upon herself.
