He realized that the situation was no longer under his control.

“I can offer more money,” Erii said, pulling out the platinum card that originally belonged to Natsuki and holding it up to Chen Motong’s nose. “I’ll offer 10 billion yen!”

Chen Motong: "..."

Xia Mu's lips twitched violently.

I absolutely have to teach Erii about money! It's extremely urgent! If this keeps up, she'll squander all his savings in no time!

She has absolutely no concept of how much money she has, and when she spends money, it's not just like water flowing, it's like a waterfall!

"I accept it. Tonight, I belong to you."

Natsuki snatched the platinum card back from Erii's hand and put it in his pocket.

Yuan Zhisheng's lips curled up slightly, extremely satisfied with the result.

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

His gaze towards Erii softened considerably, and even carried a hint of scrutiny towards his younger siblings.

A girl who can easily dump 10 billion yen...

"Wait a moment."

When has Chen Motong ever suffered such a setback, especially in a competition between female warriors? If this gets back to the academy, her reputation as a red-haired witch will be tarnished!

She couldn't mobilize that much money at once, nor did she intend to ask Caesar for help; she never did such things.

But she has her own weapons.

Although they hadn't had much contact yet, she could easily draw a conclusion from all the information she had gathered and from Genji's behavior.

"Hey, Natsuki..."

Chen Motong leaned gracefully against Xia Mu's side, brought her red lips close to his ear, and whispered, "You...don't you want to escape?"

Before she could finish speaking and step back, a strong chill suddenly emanated from her side.

"Click-clack..."

In an instant, the blood on her skin and even inside her body began to freeze!

"painted…"

Natsuki swallowed the shout that was on the tip of his tongue, but grabbed Erii's wrist.

In her hand, a small ice cross gun was taking shape.

"A hybrid!"

Everyone saw her golden eyes light up.

Chu Zihang suddenly appeared beside Chen Motong and pulled her away.

"call…"

As soon as he left Erii's one-meter-wide domain, Chen Motong's body quickly warmed up and returned to normal, as if the freezing sensation of the previous moment had never existed.

Of course, more importantly, Natsuki grabbed Erii's wrist in time, so her golden eyes flashed and disappeared.

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Erii remembered his words and only used a 'cooling attack'; if she had given a death order earlier…

"So you're not an ordinary person after all."

Yuan Zhisheng approached cautiously, saying to Xia Mu, "Xiao Mu, come here first."

But Erii immediately grabbed Natsuki's sleeve, her small face showing fear and guilt: "I-I'm sorry..."

Xia Mu shook his head, pulled her wrist and made her hide behind him, showing his meaning through his actions.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned deeply.

Chen Motong and Chu Zihang then slowly retreated...

"You're not allowed to look at my body, understand?"

Erii appeared in front of the sofa at some point and touched the "key's" nose with her slender, delicate finger.

"Wow—"

"Key" had been curiously looking out the window when suddenly a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared beside him, causing him to instantly break down.

"what happened?"

Xia Mu walked over carrying the village rain.

The "key" seemed to have seen a savior, stretching out its two little arms to him, clearly pleading for help.

“Mumu…”

Erii felt very uncomfortable for some reason.

Why should we give in to this little guy's cries?

She turned her head and said with a hint of grievance, "I told him he couldn't look at my body, and then he cried..."

"Oh...I see..."

Xia Mu nodded lightly and squatted down next to the sofa.

The "key" immediately and smoothly wrapped its arms around his neck.

Erii's eyes reddened when she saw this.

But Xia Mu didn't see her expression. He simply reached out and removed those two small arms, looked into "Key's" clear eyes, and said seriously, "To me, she will always be number one. I believe you understand what I mean."

"Key" blinked, tears welling in its eyes, seemingly a little confused.

Natsuki stood up, put Murasame aside, and reached out to hold Erii's soft little hand in his.

The two held hands, their fingers intertwined, and looked together at the baby on the sofa.

"Do you understand now?" Xia Mu said.

"Key's" tears suddenly stopped, and the teardrops hanging on her little face made her look a little comical with a blank expression.

He is a highly pure mixed-race individual with the pure heart of a child, and can easily perceive information transmitted from the outside world.

It was obvious that Natsuki was telling him that he and Erii were in cahoots, and that he was third in line.

Or rather, last place.

"Okay, he understands."

Natsuki smiled and released Erii's hand, but when he turned his head, he saw her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

Then slowly, slowly, they took her in their arms.

The air is filled with a sweet fragrance.

Xia Mu gently stroked her long hair, reluctant to let go.

It seems I've unintentionally gained another wave of goodwill... It was unintentional.

When Erii buried her face in his arms, he couldn't help but wrap his arms around her tightly, locking her close to him.

Because the feeling of being relied upon, and the feeling of having a girl, are both so captivating…

"Wow!"

The key let out a half-sob sound.

As for why it was only half a sound, it's because Erii looked up and then he fell silent.

He's probably quite frustrated right now. He followed the scent he liked and clung to Xia Mu, but he never expected to end up in the same room as a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, and that she was even of higher status than him.

"Mumu, why does he always cry?" Erii leaned softly against Natsuki, yet looked at the "key" with curiosity.

Xia Mu loosened her slender waist and supported her by the soft flesh on her side to help her stand up.

"If a child cries..."

He had no experience with this in either his past or present life, so he had to take out his phone to search for it.

"Well, there are two possibilities: either they're hungry, or they want attention."

Erii's forehead lit up like a lightbulb: "Do babies eat the same things as us?"

"Probably not. Wait a moment, I'll ask the property management to run an errand and buy a few cans of milk powder." Xia Mu walked away and picked up the dedicated phone line.

Erii sat down next to the "key," gently pressing a small section of the sofa into her seat.

"I'm here with you, don't cry," she said softly, her gaze fixed on the baby, her eyes showing exceptional tenderness, perhaps because she empathized with his need for attention and companionship.

Unfortunately, when "Key" saw her sitting beside him, he almost burst into tears again. His little mouth twitched, clearly trying to hold back a sob.

Erii was still too terrifying for him...

"what happened to you?"

Erii couldn't help but poke the baby's cheek again, only to see him suddenly close his eyes tightly, his little face scrunched up, as if he were enduring some great torment.

"what?"

Erii suddenly noticed that his diaper had changed color.

"Mumu, look."

Natsuki came back and saw Erii pointing at the baby's diaper.

"Oh my god..."

He reached up and rubbed his forehead: "They're so irresponsible, they didn't even give me diapers."

Little did he know that the "key" didn't need diapers at all; he would cry when he needed to go to the toilet, as long as the caregiver understood.

This time, I was just scared out of my wits...

Xia Mu then dialed the hotline, asked for a bunch of baby supplies, and then picked up "the key" and took him into the bathroom.

Of course, he didn't know how to do it. All he could do was throw away the baby's diaper, take off his clothes, rinse him with the shower head, and then soak him in warm water while waiting for the items to be delivered.

The "key" seemed rather pleased, as Xia Mu held it in both hands and swam around in the water.

Erii squatted down beside him by the bathtub, looking at him curiously: "Mumu, he doesn't have breasts, is he a girl?"
