Chapter 428 Chapter 428: I've prepared a gift for you, oh!
The demon tasked with monitoring the villa quickly opened the gates of the Demon Management Bureau's property perimeter.
Soon, Huo Tianzun arrived with Diao Ling and another middle-aged woman who looked a bit disheveled.
"Boss, who is this?" Bai Yingying approached and asked.
"She is Xi Mei, the Joy Spider from this mission. Go and get her a Good Demon Certificate," instructed Huo Tianzun.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yingying immediately nodded and then walked over to Xi Mei.
"Come with me."
Xi Mei looked around, somewhat awkwardly nodding while taking it all in. As a Joy Spider that had emerged from the depths of the mountains, she had never climbed the walls of such a bustling villa before.
But wow, there sure were a lot of demons here!
After giving instructions to Bai Yingying, Huo Tianzun quickly headed upstairs. At that moment, Qianxun was reading a new script.
Hearing the door open, she immediately looked up in surprise and excitement. Seeing that it was indeed Huo Tianzun returning, Qianxun threw down the script in her hand and flung herself toward him.
In truth, she could have finished reading the script in a few seconds with her magic, but she chose to read it slowly to pass the time while waiting for Yanzhi to return.
Huo Tianzun softened at the sight of Qianxun's smiling face and then firmly embraced her as she flew into his arms.
The next moment, he gently bounced her body and furrowed his brows slightly, "Why have you lost weight?"
He had only been away for a few days, and his baby had thinned out again?
Hearing Huo Tianzun's words, Qianxun chuckled, "I've been practicing walking in heels these past few days, which is a bit strenuous, so I've lost some weight. But it's okay, I'm still very healthy. How was the mission? Was the demon good or bad?"
"A Joy Spider that hadn't left the mountains for over two hundred years. The city of R happened to be holding a Qixi Festival not far from her mountain, so she came out. Her embroidery skills are superb, so I brought her back to the Demon Management Bureau," replied Huo Tianzun.
The Joy Spider is a creature associated with Qixi, a method for seeking skills, and this time, Xi Mei appeared because of it. However, she frightened many girls with her considerable size.
Qianxun nodded after listening, relieved it wasn't a bad demon; otherwise, Yanzhi would have had to fight the creature.
Although he is protected by Infinite Merit, some Great Demons are not to be trifled with.
Then, Qianxun wrapped her arms around Huo Tianzun's neck and looked up at him, "I was worried you wouldn't make it back for your birthday tomorrow." Yanzhi's thirteenth birthday was tomorrow.
Hearing Qianxun's words, the corner of Huo Tianzun's lips curved upward, and he kissed her forehead, "It's just a birthday, no big deal."
"That's unacceptable," Qianxun said.
To her, it was very important.
Upon reaching the bedside, Qianxun picked up the cellphone from the nightstand to check the time.
It was already after ten.
In just over an hour, it would be tomorrow!
So, Qianxun turned to Huo Tianzun, "Yanzhi, go take a shower quickly, and then
I'll stay up with you until midnight! I've prepared a gift for you, you know!"
Originally, she had thought about wrapping herself up as a gift for him.
But even then, Yanzhi would surely insist on being a gentleman and refuse to 'unwrap' her.
So, she bought another gift.
Huo Tianzun, anticipating Qianxun's words, was immediately eager.
"Okay!"
He then quickly dashed into the bathroom to shower.
Meanwhile, Qianxun tiptoed behind the sofa and quietly picked up the hidden
gift box.
As for what was inside, it wasn't anything particularly special.
