“Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t know that tree was that expensive.” Ling’er followed behind Momo with a pitiful face, one hand gripping a corner of her to keep her from exiting the elevator, “Don’t be angry, okay?”

“I’m not angry, I just want to go home.” Momo looked helplessly at the oil bottle dragging behind her, she looked like she was about to cry out. Please, who is the one who is in trouble?

“If you’re not angry, why don’t you invite me to your house to play?” Ling’er looked even sadder after she yelled

“I,” What kind of logic is this? Momo almost couldn’t bring it up in one breath, “Alright, alright. I’m not angry, I’m inviting you to my house to play. Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t get stuck at the stairs.”

Hearing her words, Ling’er smiled happily and contentedly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes. Momo could only shake her head with a sigh, “How old are you?”

Ling’er stretched out both hands and raised them to Momo’s face, one hand stretched out one finger, spreading out five fingers. She answered very seriously and earnestly, “Ling’er is one thousand and five years old.”

After saying that, she nodded his head in affirmation. Momo’s body trembled, only to feel a current running through her head and rising again, as if she had returned to the moment when she was struck by lightning, a thousand-year-old snake spirit when she was five years old! “Do you know Bai Suzhen?”

“Sister, you know my mother?” Ling’er asked, turning her head sideways.

Momo was about to righteously educate Ling’er to learn from Bai Suzhen, a celebrity among snake spirits…when she heard Ling’er’s unexpected reply, she immediately stared in shock.

“Ling’er, Xu Shi Lin?” Momo opened her mouth and stammered, she wouldn’t be standing with such a famous historical figure, no, spirit, right?

“My name is Xu Shi Ling, expecting worldly beings, not Xu Shi Lin,” Ling’er shook her head bitterly, seemingly troubled, “Those who speak and write books are mistaken, I’m a girl, how can I take that kind of name?”

“But, didn’t you take the exam to save your mother?” Don’t tell me that Ling’er is the first prize winner of the male cross-dressing exam at this kind of standard, in China?

“It’s Master Illusionary Substitute!” Ling’er spat her tongue mischievously.

“…….”

The truth of history is really unforgiving. That filial Xu Shi Ling is actually a gunman, for God’s sake! Momo had the urge to hit her. “Then who is your master?”

The words had just fallen when a reply came from behind, “I am honored that you are interested in me, Mrs. Momo.”

“Master-” Ling’er looked behind Momo with a look of awe.

Momo turned her head, also startled. Na Ze was standing behind her, her face paled. “Why didn’t you tell me when you went out?”

“I,” Momo felt she does not have enough stamina, “just wanted to get out for some air.”

“Hmm!” Ling’er nodded vigorously at the side, and of course the person she was facing, was her own master, “You went out and got some air…it’s going to rain soon, the house is stuffy.”

The two men glanced at each other, both read the helplessness in each other’s eyes, quite a bit the same as the end of the world, nodded. They went forward and went back to their own homes.

The cat was in Na Ze’s arms, secretly gauging Ling’er’s master. How do I describe it? Although he was dressed in a simple Zhongshan suit, it gave people the feeling that the clothes were floating and the Wu belt was the wind. Cat Fairy?! Is this the legend of the Wind Tactic?

The Cat Fairy and comrades turned around and walked on the stairs, turned his head, and smiled politely at Na Ze, “Your Excellency, Na Ze, I hope you’ll forgive me for the trouble today.”

“No, Mr. Yun. Don’t think much about it.” Na Ze nodded slightly.

Ling’er seemed to have something very important to say to Momo, but unfortunately she didn’t dare to disobey her Master, so she could only wave to Momo with a bitter face until the moment when the elevator closed. Na Ze took the message from Momo’s stiff figure that his little wife had finally met her nemesis today, what a rare occasion!

Returning home, Momo collapsed on the sofa, and took half a day to recover her energy. Thinking of her own idea of making a scarf company, she shouted to Na Ze, who was busy in the kitchen. “Na Ze, you can’t look at the things I bought today, I’m using them.”

She was using it, so he couldn’t even look at it? Na Ze, who was cooking, had an urge to put salt in the soup again, and his expression was cool, but he was actually bitter at heart.

Momo probably also felt that she described in this way, the reason was too far-fetched, so she tried to comfort him and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll show you when I run out.

“……” Na Ze has no strength to even spread salt.

Unfortunately, Momo, who had finished consoling him, had happily started the next topic. “Na Ze, Ling’er said that her Master was a cat fairy, can you tell, is it true?”

“Well,” As far as she was concerned, there was nothing to hide from herself, the well-adjusted Na Ze was bitterly amused, adjusting his mind just in time, began to hold the cooked dish in his hand, and replied smoothly, “It’s a leopard cat.”

“Wow.” Momo lazily agreed, not knowing what she was calculating again.

The aroma of the meal spread through the air so fast that Na Ze had just put it all on the table, and the originally limping Momo was already smelling with her nose, moving behind him from the couch like a god and starting to pinch shredded meat from his plate one by one into her mouth.

“You’re not afraid to scald yourself either.” Na Ze patted her hand away and handed out a spoon of soup, Momo smiled and took it, standing up and started drinking the soup, she was starving after going out today. Momo likes to eat Chinese food, Na Ze only cooks Chinese food, anyway, he only studies the taste of blood stains, the food tastes almost the same in his mouth, eating, and enjoys the kind of warmth with Momo sitting face to face at home.

Momo drank several large gulps in a row before feeling as if she was repeatedly coming to life as if she had sat down and braced her head to look at Naizemori rice, but looking at the expression, it seemed that deep down inside she was still doing some sort of thinking.

“Why? Interested in other people’s mentors and apprentices?” Na Ze knew his wife well.

Momo returned in a serious tone, ”Well, Ling’er is Bai Suzhen’s daughter, then she should have been born in the Song Dynasty, so I’m wondering if her master is that very famous civet cat from the Song Dynasty. However, these are all legends in Chinese historical mythology, and to tell you the truth, you wouldn’t know it!”

Saying that, he waved his hands and bowed his head to take the rice, Na Ze struggled with his own pride, “Actually, our blood clan history is also very legendary.”

“I don’t know anything about Western history, if you’re even legendary, I don’t know either,” Momo gave him a look of no interest, paused, and suddenly remembered, “By the way, how did you all show up at the same time today? Isn’t the top floor just living with only us?”

Na Ze only had to admit it, following her words, ”Yun Zhaoxing is the president of our Chinese cooperation company for this game development. Today’s meeting is to discuss some specific cooperation matters. Due to his special status, that’s why I am also present at today’s meeting. Later he said he was staying here, and we came back together after the meeting, and walked downstairs just in time to see you and Ling’er get on the elevator.”

He explained it patiently and in great detail, because Momo was interested in what he was interested in and would pursue it many times even if she couldn’t figure it out.

“Huh, so that’s it,” Momo clamped a bite of the dish into her mouth, her eyes finally flashed again, “You guys have a cooperation going on, doesn’t that mean I still have a chance to figure it out?”

Na Ze bowed his head and thought, “You want to play with Ling’er, it can be okay, but-“

“Good then, you have a meeting tomorrow to tell her Master that I’m going to invite them to spend Christmas together, there’s a lot of people,” Momo was so excited, the more she thought about it, the happier she became. “Christmas Eve is the New Year’s Eve, let’s have a Chinese Christmas Eve, and pack dumplings to eat!”

Na Ze fixedly looked at her, frowning slightly. For a long time, before responding in a low voice, “Well, but it’s only Christmas Eve.”

“Mmmmmm!” Momo is still eating with her head down, she doesn’t have time to roll her eyes at Na Ze. Of course it’s only Christmas Eve, have you invited someone to dinner, several meals in a row? She’s not looking for a daughter-in-law for her son!
