Angeline merely hoped that this child would get to be whoever they wanted to be.The atmosphere at the family event was akin to a wildfire that had been ignited. Even the Ares family’s mistresses began to flock around Angeline to give her their blessings.No one seemed to have noticed that at this moment, there was a faint scent of fragrant wood wafting through the air.When the smell of fragrant wood became stronger, someone fainted and fell to the ground.Someone else yelled, “Ahhh! snakes!”Very quickly, the entire scene became chaotic.Jay held Angeline in his arms and continuously looked over at the people who were toppling over one another. He said restlessly, “You must leave this place immediately, Angeline.”Angeline said, “What about you?”Angeline was holding Jay’s hand, reluctant to leave him. Her eyes were filled with concern at the moment. However, she could not bring herself to so selfishly ask Jay to go with her and have him disregard the others.After all, so m
“Don’t go in, Jens. It’s dangerous inside. I’ll go in and save them,” said Baby Robbie as he blocked Jenson at the door of the courtyard.Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and urged him, “You have to be careful as well.”“Okay,” said Baby Robbie as he turned around and rushed inside.When Jay saw Baby Robbie dashing in through the fire, he shouted anxiously, “Don’t come here, Robbie!”Baby Robbie exclaimed, “Daddy, I have a magic weapon to deal with these snakes!”Jay was surprised to find that the snakes would not get close to Baby Robbie.“Odd.” Cole was puzzled and asked, “Why are the snakes afraid of Baby Robbie?”Baby Robbie took the family seal out of his pockets and all of the poisonous snakes exploded, dying in an instant.Jay and Cole were both utterly shocked.When the snakes had all died, the guards rushed in to put out the fire.Cole collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, but Jay was still standing tall and upright in the middle of the courtyard.Cole teased him,
Then, Jay, who had just run out, suddenly turned back and said anxiously, “Zayne, Josie, stay here and keep Angeline company. Don’t leave until I come back.”After saying this, he ran out again.Zayne and Josie were both dumbfounded. Zayne grumbled, “F*ck. It’s up to you if you want to spoil your wife, but why are you always involving us?”At Château de Selene’s backyard.In the beginning, Jay was reluctant to have his grandpa move out of Château de Selene. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ares was unwilling to stay in the front yard where he would disturb Jay and Angeline, the two lovebirds. Hence, Grand Old Master Ares had been staying in the backyard instead.Even so, Château de Selene’s backyard had always been the liveliest among all the other manor’s backyards. Firstly, it was because many people would visit the old man every day. And secondly, Jay had deliberately re-decorated the backyard to make it more magnificent.When Jay arrived at the backyard, Grand Old Master Yorks got up fro
Then, he proceeded to look at Cole very disappointedly and said, “I poured my heart and soul to nurture you and bring you up into a refined man with good academic performance. But, alas, I suppose bad habits are hard to change. You’re just as boorish and rude as your father!”Cole said impatiently, “Don’t be so long-winded, Old Man. Quick, tell us more about the secret technique that summons poisonous snakes. What’s up with that?”Once they got back to that subject, Grand Old Master Yorks’ expression became extraordinarily solemn.“It’s a long story.”“Then please take your time,” said Cole as he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.Grand Old Master Yorks said, “Originally, the Yorks were a great big family who lived on the foot of Mount Pearl. My papa had four other brothers and two older sisters. Each of the households had four children, and in ours, I was the youngest one. I had two older brothers and an older sister. Initially, our family lived a happy and peaceful life
“Her jade is able to drive away snakes and ferocious beasts. I’m afraid that this jade is also artificially synthesized. Perhaps the composition inside contains some medicinal ingredients that allow it to have such an effect on those snakes.”As soon as Jenson said this, Grand Old Master Yorks slapped his thigh as if he had just woken up from a dream, saying, “Oh, right! Jens’ words reminded me of something else. She gave me a couple of massages that cured my indigestion when I was younger. Back then, I was quite sallow and skinny, but after she massaged me all over, I started to gain a bigger appetite.”Jay scrupulously said, “What about the Beast God? How did that come about?”Grand Old Master Yorks heaved out a sad sigh, saying, “The woman left our house just like that. My mother wailed and sobbed hysterically, and she ultimately believed the woman’s words. She held onto the jade and went up the mountain to find my papa. But Mount Pearl is huge, so it wasn’t possible to look for
Jay looked at Grand Old Master Ares in a genuinely apologetic manner and said, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I didn’t tell you about Grandma Boye’s return to Imperial Capital.”Grand Old Master Ares sighed and said, “You didn’t have to tell me. I already knew.”Jay was stunned. “If you know that she’s back, why didn’t you go see her?”Grand Old Master Ares said, “She’s been back for so long but has never taken the initiative to visit me. Perhaps in her heart, I’m merely a person of her past. So why should I bother her?”Jay heaved a weak sigh.Grandpa and Grandma’s love was something he could never understand.In Jay’s point of view, as long as he was still alive, he would never let go of his beloved woman. He would be entangled with her until the day they died.Grand Old Master Ares said, “Alright, leave my matters alone now. Let’s talk about what’s happening right now. Why did snakes suddenly appear in Tourmaline Estate?”Jay shifted his gaze toward Jenson, and Jenson’s handsome face
“Then, I should go with Brother Finn.”Jens scoffed. “No way. You have to study, and this matter shouldn’t be disrupting your lessons.”Baby Robbie replied listlessly, “Oh man. I go to school almost 365 days a year. I’m going mad from studying. I won’t be stupid if I miss a day or two.”Jens retorted, “You still can’t do it. Mommy will be very upset.”“Then don’t tell Mommy.”“No.”“Jens…”Ultimately, Jens looked for the four leaders of Ghost and sternly said to them, “I’m going to give you four the task of picking up Mr. Boye from Cloud City. The journey will be perilous, so the four of you will be drawing lots. The one who draws the shortest stick from my hand right now will be heading to Cloud City…”Jenson was holding four wooden sticks in his hand and placed them in front of Finn and the others, saying, “Go ahead and pick one.”Finn firmly said, “There’s no need to draw lots. I’ll head to Cloud City.”The other three proceeded to look at each other.Of course, since Gra
On the other line, Jay appeared extremely gloomy.Boye did not follow their initial agreement of settling down in Cloud City. Could it be that the reason for the change of plans was due to them encountering some sort of danger on the way there? Or perhaps Grandma Boye had deceived him from the start?Where were they now?Serpent Land!Boye and her partner were lying leisurely on their comfy chairs in the courtyard in a multi-story villa. On the other hand, Baby Zetty had her legs spread, resting them on two stools while her bum was hanging mid-air. She was holding a book and using all her might to focus her attention.Grandpa would look at her from time to time, and he would sigh each time he noticed Baby Zetty’s gaze occasionally drifting away from the book.“That child can’t concentrate on studying at all. If this continues, I’m afraid she won’t be able to finish a single book in a year.”Boye said, “She hasn’t healed from her broken heart just yet, so give her some time.”Gr
