Chapter 4261 The Day of Returning Home
Chapter 4261 The Day of Returning Home
The eight-tailed fox held Uncle Tiger's son, clearly smitten, kissing and hugging him affectionately, which made Tiger Cub giggle.
This kid may look tiny, but he gets incredibly happy whenever he sees a pretty girl. He probably inherited his uncle Tiger's genes from when he was a double-flower red stick (a term used to describe someone who works as a top-tier entertainer). When he grows up, he'll probably be dancing old-fashioned disco like his uncle Tiger.
When I said I wanted to have several children in the future, the eight-tailed fox immediately blushed and playfully nudged me with her shoulder: "Pah, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not making this up. After I overcome my tenth tribulation, I'll marry you and we'll go back to Jiushan Village with Little Fatty to live a simple life." I began to look forward to our future.
Just then, a dark shadow flew over and landed on a big tree in the yard.
Upon seeing the Eighth Master, we all immediately stepped forward to pay our respects.
Eighth Master seemed quite happy today, glancing at the Eight-Tailed Fox: "Oh dear, Little Jie's wife has finally come home and has a Dharma body. When are you planning to have a baby?"
"Eighth Master, after I have my baby, you'll have to take care of it. Don't rush, let's wait until Tiger Cub is a bit older," I said with a smile.
"Come on, he's just a tiger cub. He's practically plucked all the fur off my body. If you have a child, it'll be a real handful too." Eighth Master rolled his eyes at me.
"Eighth Master, I'll ask you to take care of my baby when I have one," Little Fatty added.
"Get out of my way, all of you! I'm not running a kindergarten!" Eighth Master said angrily, jumping up and down on the tree twice.
"Eighth Master, we almost didn't make it back this time when we were on a mission with Uncle Tang," the disheveled Taoist priest said, sounding aggrieved.
"Yes, I've heard about it. Yi Guan Dao has made another big move. I heard that Sha Qianli has even appeared, specifically to kill Jin Xingyuan. You guys are lucky to have come back alive this time."
As Eighth Master was speaking, I suddenly remembered something: my talismanic armor had been destroyed by Hu Jiuqing. So I took out the damaged talismanic armor and wanted Eighth Master to see if it could be repaired.
Eighth Master glanced at the talisman armor and immediately said, "What amazing skills! You can even break through the talisman armor. You're really lucky. If it weren't for this talisman armor, you would definitely be dead. But I can't handle this thing. I'll have to ask your Grandpa Zhang."
As he spoke, Eighth Master called out to the neighbor next door, "Old Zhang, come over here for a second."
Not long after that "Old Zhang" was called, we saw Old Zhang's head appear on the courtyard wall and land beside us in a flash.
"Old Eight, what's up?" Grandpa Zhang glanced at Eighth Master.
We quickly bowed to Grandpa Zhang, whose gaze soon fell on the eight-tailed fox. He smiled and said, "Oh, you're back?"
"Yes, Master Zhang, how have you been?" The eight-tailed fox bowed again.
"Yes, it's good that you're back. Live a good life with Xiao Jie. After you left, this kid missed you so much that he would hide under the covers and cry all day long," Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.
My face immediately turned red: "Grandpa Zhang, you can't say things like that! When did I ever hide under the covers and cry?"
"No? Once I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I don't know who was talking in their sleep, but they kept saying 'wife' and then they said 'wife' back..." Old Zhang laughed.
Upon hearing this, not only did I blush, but the eight-tailed fox beside me also blushed.
The main reason is that I've been kissing that eight-tailed fox quite a few times lately, and my lips are numb from all the kisses.
Then, I took out the damaged talisman armor and asked Grandpa Zhang to take a look and see if it could be repaired.
Old Zhang took the talismanic armor from my hand and said he needed three days. He wanted Tang Shangning to find some rare materials to repair the armor. The armor required a special kind of silkworm silk, which was very flexible and extremely light, almost like wearing nothing at all.
This time, Li Chao was noticeably more polite to Grandpa Zhang and Eighth Master than before.
Having spent so much time with us, Li Chao has seen his share of big things and learned what it means to be outmatched.
He used to roam the martial arts world, but he was always under the protection of Longhu Mountain, and at the very least, he was accompanied by Master Zhiqing.
But it's different when you're with us. To survive, you have to rely on your own abilities. Even if you're a kept man, you still have to have food to eat.
I didn't get much of a kickback while working for the special investigation team this time, and we almost lost everything. But I managed to get some talismans from Tang Shangning and distributed them to everyone. Each person got three gold talismans and twenty invisibility talismans. If we sold them, that would be half a small fortune, which is quite a lot.
After staying in Yanbei for two days, everyone left one after another. Brother Gu said that his wife was about to give birth and he wanted to go back to see her.
This is good news. When they left, I stopped the slovenly Taoist priest and asked him about his situation.
He's been married to that little vixen for so long, but there's no sign of her getting pregnant. What's going on?
When I brought this up, the slovenly Taoist priest said impatiently, "Mind your own business and stop talking so much nonsense."
"Are you too good for that? You drank that medicinal wine for nothing. If it really doesn't work, let's go to Red Leaf Valley and have Brother Qi take a look at you two," I said with a smile.
"Get the hell out of here! We're both perfectly healthy, and we don't want any right now. My wife and I want to enjoy ourselves for a couple more years. There's no rush. You haven't had a child yet, and neither am I." With that, the slovenly Taoist priest swaggered away with the group.
As he was leaving, Li Chao specifically sought me out and whispered, "Xiao Jie, I've spent almost all the money I made last time. Remember to call me when you need to make more money, and keep in touch."
Watching Li Chao's departing figure, I shook my head helplessly. This guy has tasted the sweetness of making money, and I'm afraid he'll become increasingly uncontrollable in the future.
That's good, we must train him to be a real sixth brother.
Everyone left, and I was very happy this time. I didn't feel that empty feeling I had before. The main reason was that my wife stayed with me the whole time. We were very loving, and time seemed to fly by. Even if Uncle Hu introduced me to some business now, I wouldn't really want to do it.
When I have free time, I take my wife to stroll around Yanbei City, walking through every street and alley. Every time we go out, we attract envious glances from countless people. I can't even describe the feeling. In a few days, it will be the day I go home. Eight-Tailed Fox also said that she wants to go back to her hometown with me to meet her future in-laws, mainly to put their minds at ease.
