Xia Chujian hugged Wu Fu and continued to nag, "Look at you, it's just a few steps at home, and you have to ride Da Hei. What are these fat little short legs for? Are they for your sister to eat?"
She grabbed one of Wu Fu's chubby little legs, lowered her head, and with a wuwu sound, pretended to eat it.
The Teacup Dog A Wù, squatting on top of the Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun's head, was so startled by this scene that it lost its balance and fell off Liu Shun's head.
Xia Chujian quickly scooped it up and held it in her palm.
The Little Chubby Bird standing on its head fell straight down.
Its body was too fat, and its wings were too short. It flapped so hard that it created afterimages, but its body still fell.
Xia Chujian was quick-witted and also scooped it up.
The Little Chubby Bird was not polite and went straight to Xia Chujian's shoulder.
The Teacup Dog A Wù still had a bit in its mouth, so it could only "wuwang" at Xia Chujian in her palm, sounding quite like Si Xi.
Si Xi looked up at A Wù.
Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun said, "Master, what is the bloodline of this Teacup Dog? Does it have a Bloodline Certificate?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She was curious, "What bloodline does a Teacup Dog have? And what is a Bloodline Certificate?"
Liu Shun said, "Teacup Dogs are very particular about bloodlines."
"A Bloodline Certificate is its Bloodline Certificate."
"Without a Bloodline Certificate, a Teacup Dog cannot be sold for a good price."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Before she could speak, she suddenly felt the atmosphere in the living room turn cold.
Not only the atmosphere, but even the temperature seemed to be dropping sharply.
Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun seemed to feel it too. It turned its hemispherical mechanical head, looking around, as if searching for the source of the cooling.
Xia Chujian's gaze followed the direction of Liu Shun's head.
As a result, the corner of her eye suddenly caught something wrong.
She found a huge phantom appearing behind the Teacup Dog A Wù in her palm.
This phantom had the pointed antlers of a sika deer, ears like a cat standing up, and fur like a huge lion.
Its neck resembled a leopard, and its abdomen was faintly visible, as if switching between nothingness and reality.
Its front paws were like an eagle's, and its hind paws were like a tiger's. It was A Wù's true form that she had seen on Senze Star! Because she had seen A Wù's true form before, she was not very surprised.
What surprised her more was that she also saw a rising phantom behind the Small Dog Si Xi!
The size of this phantom was about the same as the huge phantom behind A Wù.
It looked like a tall elk, but it was covered with gorgeous scales, as brilliant as the morning sun and sunset.
It held its head high, its eyes like stars, bright and wise, gentle and peaceful.
It also had a pair of horns on its head, but they looked like the legendary dragon horns.
A gem-like light emanated between the horns, like stars dotted in the night sky.
Its limbs were slender and strong, and its feet seemed to be stepping on green grass, with flowers blooming like clouds around its feet.
Although it was in the living room, it felt like being in an endless wilderness.
And the phantom behind Si Xi, and the phantom behind A Wù, were both glaring in the direction of Liu Shun, seemingly very dissatisfied with it.
Xia Chujian was stunned.
And Housekeeping Robot Liu Shun was still turning its hemispherical head, muttering, "What's going on? What's going on? Why has the temperature dropped so much suddenly? Is the central air conditioner's temperature control system broken?"
It seemed that it could not see at all that there were two huge things filling the entire living room, glaring at it.
Xia Chujian thought it was a little interesting.
She first rubbed the Small Teacup Dog A Wù in her palm and said, "A Wù, withdraw your supernatural power."
Shua! The next second, A Wù's phantom disappeared.
It guiltily laid down, shrinking in Xia Chujian's palm, and even licked her palm ingratiatingly.
Xia Chujian's hand tickled from the licking, and she casually put it back on her other shoulder.
A Wù breathed a sigh of relief and bent its small dog eyes at the Little Chubby Bird on the other side.
The Little Chubby Bird haughtily raised its head, closing its eyes to rest.
Si Xi stood up from Xia Chujian's feet and bared its teeth at Liu Shun.
Xia Chujian also patted Si Xi's small dog head, and said with a smile, "Si Xi, Liu Shun is joking, he's not going to sell you. Put away your Supernatural Power too..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Xi suddenly jumped up as if stung by a bee on its butt.
It suddenly turned around and stared at Xia Chujian, seemingly unable to understand what Xia Chujian had just said.
Xia Chujian tilted her head and looked at it, asking in confusion, "Si Xi, what's wrong?"
When Si Xi turned, the phantom behind it also turned.
Now that phantom was no longer staring at Liu Shun, but at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian met the phantom's gaze, feeling no malice at all.
She waved at it and greeted with a smile, "Hi! Hello! Are you our Si Xi's Guardian Beast?"
Si Xi's bright black dog eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Although it was a Small Dog and couldn't speak, Xia Chujian could still see deep disbelief in its expression.
Xia Chujian was puzzled, "Si Xi, don't you know you have a Guardian Beast?"
She casually flashed her Quantum Optical Brain and took a picture of the phantom.
Pa! Like a bubble bursting in the air, the phantom behind Si Xi also disappeared.
Xia Chujian wanted to bring up the photo she just took to show Si Xi.
But she found that her Quantum Optical Brain Wristwatch Carrier's camera hadn't captured anything at all.
Behind Si Xi was just the sofa and wall on the other side of the living room, without that phantom that almost filled the entire living room.
Xia Chujian frowned, "...Is the camera on this Quantum Optical Brain broken? Why didn't it capture anything?"
Not giving up, she checked the living room's surveillance footage.
But she found that although the surveillance camera in the living room was pointed at the living room twenty-four hours a day, it hadn't captured any phantom either.
Even A Wù's phantom hadn't been captured.
Xia Chujian turned her head to look at Liu Shun, whose eye display screen was flashing red and blue lines, and muttered to herself, "No wonder Liu Shun didn't see it either..."
It seemed that the phantom couldn't be captured by things like cameras.
Probably similar to the stealth principle of her Shao Siming Mecha.
But what kind of Guardian Beast was the phantom behind the Small Dog Si Xi? She had never seen it on the Star Network.
She looked at Si Xi, rubbed its small dog head, and said, "Si Xi, be honest, do you know what your Guardian Beast is?"
Si Xi "wuwang" once, and also licked her palm.
Xia Chujian smiled and patted it, "Alright, it's your little secret, I won't ask."
At this time, Wu Fu hugged Xia Chujian's neck and whispered, "Sister, Si Xi and that A Wù became so scary just now, Wu Fu was startled!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
They've already put away their Supernatural Power, and you're just startled now! Your reaction arc is long enough...
Xia Chujian kissed his face, and changed the subject with a smile, "When I was on Kanli Star, I was thinking about when I could hug our Wu Fu and kiss Wu Fu's little chubby face!"
Then she gently tickled Wu Fu.
Wu Fu giggled and twisted, his clear laughter echoing in the living room, like the harmonious and happy afternoon of countless ordinary families.
Not long after, the teammates of the Dark Night Hunter Team also sent video call requests to Xia Chujian one after another.
They invited her through the Squad Channel, so everyone could talk together.
Xia Chujian quickly answered.
She looked at the virtual three-dimensional holographic images opposite her, showing Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Cai Jie Ping Qiong.
Captain Ye Shijie was not there.
After Xia Chujian connected, Song Mingqian immediately said, "Congratulations, Chujian! You're amazing! You actually scored as the Empire Top Scorer!"
Cai Jie Ping Qiong was also particularly excited, clenching her fists and saying, "Chujian! You kept saying your grades were bad! You call that bad grades?! I don't even know how to write the words 'bad grades'!"
Li Fu laughed and said, "Chujian, are you going to Beichen Star for university?"
Xia Chujian responded to each of them with a smile.
"Thank you, Song Ge! I am pretty awesome, hahaha!"
"Cai Jie, that's not fair! It's true my grades were bad back then, and it's also true I got good grades later. Can't a loser have a comeback?!"
"Fu Ye is smart! Yes, I applied to a university on Beichen Star and have already been accepted!"
Xia Chujian said triumphantly, telling her teammates that she had been admitted to the Imperial Royal First Military University.
All three teammates were happy for her.
Only then did Xia Chujian ask with a smile, "Where's the captain? Why isn't he here? Isn't he happy for me?"
Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong exchanged glances before saying to Xia Chujian, "We haven't seen him for a long time either."
Li Fu said, "The captain said a while ago that he had to repay a favor and took on a private job, telling us not to contact him. Then we didn't hear from him again."
Ping Qiong said with some worry, "I hope the captain is okay, and I hope the price for repaying that favor isn't too high..."
Song Mingqian said with a smile, "Don't worry! The captain is already a Rank A early-stage Gene Evolver, having entered the ranks of high-level Gene Evolvers. There aren't many things in this world that can make the captain afraid!"
Li Fu and Ping Qiong asked in surprise, "The captain is already Rank A?! That's really great news!"
Xia Chujian observed their expressions and realized that they really didn't know what Ye Shijie had gone to do.
It seemed they really didn't know about Ye Shijie escorting Qiu Family's Noble Lady Qiu Zijun.
But she knew that Ye Shijie had left Senze Star on the Qiu Family's spaceship, so why hadn't he returned yet?
Xia Chujian tentatively asked, "The captain really doesn't want us to contact him? But my family is going to host a banquet, and I really hope the captain and you all can come and join us!"
Li Fu laughed loudly, "Are you really hosting a banquet?! I'll definitely come! Remember to send me an invitation! I'll find a great gift to give you!"
Song Mingqian also said, "My gift is already prepared! Chujian, remember to send me the invitation! When are you hosting the banquet?"
Xia Chujian only used the banquet as an excuse to ask about Ye Shijie's whereabouts.
Therefore, she didn't give a definite date, but said, "Once the date is set, I'll definitely invite you! We've been friends for so many years, how could I not invite you?!"
She also instructed, "If the captain contacts you, remember to tell him for me! I'll also send him an invitation, and it doesn't matter if he can't make it. I just hope he's safe."
