Qin Mei glanced at the snowball at her feet and snorted at Qin Ruan, saying, "It wants to go out!"
"Go out?" Qin Ruan showed a puzzled expression.
Since the snowball could come to find her second brother, it meant that its previous owner had already left.
It was a cat demon, so where could it go if it went out?
The reason Qin Ruan didn't act against the Yao Yao and the snowball before was not only because she pitied them.
She had taken a liking to the snowball, the cat demon.
The fact that the other party had already established some kind of cause and effect with her second brother meant that once Yao Yao was taken away by someone from the Underworld, the snowball would definitely come to find her second brother.
For cat demons, cause and effect were major matters related to their life and death.
Even if the snowball didn't want to acknowledge her second brother as its master, it had no choice.
When it took her second brother away and brought him to its previous owner for companionship, it had already destined that her second brother would be its next master.
"Meow! Meow!"
The snowball let out sharp cries, transmitted through the phone's speaker, once again reaching Qin Ruan's ears.
Since she hadn't had any direct contact with the snowball, she couldn't communicate across species and couldn't understand what it was saying.
"Second brother, what is it saying?" Qin Ruan asked.
Qin Mei replied with disdain, "It wants to go back to its previous home."
The snowball had been causing trouble for two days, wanting to return to the house where Yao Yao had died.
He disliked that place, considering it unlucky, and coupled with his current ban on leaving, he had ignored the snowball all along.
It had just quieted down, but today, it started making a ruckus again while talking to Qin Ruan, which gave Qin Mei a headache.
Qin Ruan asked, "What's in that room?"
"Who knows what's in there? That place is eerie. Anyway, I won't go!" Qin Mei had unforgettable shadows from the dark history that took place between the snowball and Yao Yao.
He didn't want to take even a single step into that room again.
"Meow! Meow!"
The snowball scratched at Qin Mei's trousers with its paw, continuously meowing.
Qin Ruan said, "I'll send someone to pick you up now. Bring the snowball along so I can take a look."
"Why do you want to see it?" Qin Mei didn't immediately agree and spoke with a frightened tone, "Ruan Ruan, let me tell you, this cat has ill intentions towards you. I didn't agree to take it in before, and it actually threatened me that it would come find you!"
"Is that so?" Qin Ruan chuckled softly, "That's perfect. Bring it over to me."
"I'm not going!" Qin Mei refused.
His attitude was different from before when he urgently wanted to go out.
"Even if you don't come, it will still come. The snowball will accompany you for the rest of its life. The little guy is very loyal. Don't let it down."
There was silence from Qin Mei's end.
After a while, a low response came through.
"Fine, hurry up."
Perhaps he had understood, and he urgently wanted to go out again.
Qin Ruan hung up the phone, called Lin Hao over, and had him personally go to the Qin family to pick up her second brother
and the snowball.
...
At the same time.
United States.
Luxurious private estate.
Hou Yunjiao lowered his gaze, staring at the man and woman kneeling on the ground. His eyes were sharp, and a fierce storm seemed to be brewing around him.
His thin lips were tightly pressed together as his icy voice slowly resonated.
"Second brother, you not only killed the elder of the Witch Clan for Hou Zhi, but also shamefully fled to the United States to escape punishment? You really have some nerve!"
Kneeling on the ground, facing the wall, Hou Yirong spoke calmly, "It's not for Hou Zhi, it's because those people wanted me to marry their witch."
Even while kneeling, his posture remained upright, and his commanding presence was undiminished.
The corners of Hou Yunjiao's lips curved into a cruel and cold smile. His emotionless gaze fell upon Hou Zhi, who was kneeling beside Hou Yirong.
He walked behind Hou Zhi and lightly opened his thin lips, "Little Zhi, as the leader of the Hou family's secret guards, you allowed the master to kill, disregarding the rules we've followed for so many years. Where did your principles go?"
His voice was gentle, but his words carried a sense of cruelty.
Hou Zhi turned around, kneeling before Third Young Master Huo, her expression hollow and pale.
She lowered her head and said each word, "I deserve to die."
"Die?" Hou Yunjiao's lips slightly curled. "There are different ways to die."
"I am willing to accept any punishment," Hou Zhi replied, her face devoid of expression, emanating a heavy aura of death.
She seemed to fear neither life nor death.
"Go back and wait for the old master's decision," Hou Yunjiao said, raising his hand to support his forehead and rubbing his tired brow.
His tone was light as he continued, "Ruan Ruan really likes you. Before you left, she asked me to keep you alive. Given your status, you should never have become a secret guard of the Hou family, or even existed in this world..."
Hou Yunjiao didn't finish his sentence, as Hou Yirong interrupted in a deep voice, "Third brother, this matter has nothing to do with Hou Zhi. It's because I couldn't tolerate those wizards. We've been more than fair to them over the years, so why should we be threatened by them?"
Hou Yunjiao chuckled lightly, his tone mocking, "You're asking me?"
If he knew the whole story, he wouldn't have personally taken action against his family in a foreign land today.
Hou Yirong's expression was tense, his rage unable to find an outlet.
Seeing him like this, Hou Yunjiao sighed softly, "I don't know either. All I know is that we can't touch the Witch Clan. The Hou family signed a hundred-year agreement with them. No matter what they do, we cannot harm them."
"Just because of that, am I supposed to sacrifice my whole life and marry one of their witches? Do you know what they did to me in order to force my compliance?" Hou Yirong's handsome face flushed with anger and frustration.
Hou Zhi interjected, "The Witch Clan Elder used a secret potion to force Second Master."
Her voice was flat and indifferent, simply stating the facts.
Hou Yunjiao was not aware of this. He had only just found Hou Yirong and Hou Zhi.
Recently, the Witch Clan had colluded with a powerful force in the capital. When members of the Hou family were being flown abroad, their plane crashed in the south, an act orchestrated by the Witch Clan.
Hou Yirong was sent by the Hou family to demand an explanation from the Witch Clan.
Hou Yunjiao hadn't expected the situation to escalate to the point where his second brother would kill the Witch Clan Elder.
The Witch Clan was not to be provoked if it could be avoided.
The Hou family had protected the Witch Clan for nearly thirty years, with a long way to go until the hundred-year agreement expired.
However, the plane crash incident had marked the first direct confrontation between the Witch Clan and the Hou family.
The Hou family wanted to understand why the Witch Clan had allied with other forces, and they also wanted Hou Yirong to lead a team to intimidate the Witch Clan and make them behave.
If the Hou family could protect them, they could also annihilate them.
"Of course, this is without the Hundred-Year Agreement.
No one expected that Hou Yirong would get into such a predicament.
He even fled to the United States in a sorry state, evading the pursuit of the Witch Clan.
Now, both my grandfather and father are aware of the news. When grandfather found out, he became furious and vowed to teach Hou Yirong a lesson.
Hou Yunjiao approached Hou Zhi and asked for all the details of what happened with the Witch Clan.
Hou Zhi explained everything in great detail.
The Nangong family was the one colluding with the Witch Clan.
However, there was no trace of the Nangong family in the Hou family's plane crash incident. Instead, there were signs of the Su family's involvement.
When they arrived at the Witch Clan, Hou Zhi introduced Hou Yirong to her father, and then the forced marriage incident with the Witch Clan occurred.
The Witch Clan has a witch who is the next clan leader.
She took a liking to Hou Yirong and wanted to marry him.
The elders of the Witch Clan joined forces to force a marriage upon the second young master Hou.
They even resorted to despicable means.
