Chapter 345 Meeting the Parents
Ye Xiaojing looked at Jiang Qian, her lips and teeth slightly opened, but suddenly she couldn't say a word of disobedience.
Although Jiang Qian was not sitting upright at this time, nor was he exerting pressure on her, the awe-inspiring aura accumulated between his brows and the calm gaze that looked proudly at all things made Ye Xiaojing feel a moment of identity dislocation: subconsciously thinking Be obedient.
However, this trance-like illusion only lasted for a moment. Ye Xiaojing closed her eyes and concentrated, loosened her right hand on the steering wheel, and stretched her forehead.
When he looked at Jiang Qian again, his cold and delicate face showed a look of sudden enlightenment:
"Oh~ I see, Ji Ming gave you an excuse to go home to visit relatives, but you didn't think of an explanation for your mysterious presence during this period. You can no longer hide it by using work as a shield. You need a reasonable explanation for why you have been away from home for a long time. It shouldn’t be too rigid, but it should also fit in with the rebellious temptations you should have at your age. Am I right?”
As expected of my woman, you have seen this... Jiang Qian sighed softly and held Ye Xiaojing's hand:
"You know, there are three women in my family, and none of them are fuel-efficient. Such a predicament is very easy to break."
"Really?"
Ye Xiaojing raised her eyebrows slightly, the catkins slipped from Jiang Qian's palm, her slender fingers closed into a fist, and her smile gradually deepened:
"Actually, I have another way, which does not require revealing your identity as a super species player, but also allows your family to understand your difficulties."
"Don't, don't be like this, domestic violence cannot solve the problem..."
Jiang Qian immediately surrendered and leaned against the back seat with some scorn:
"Besides, I have confessed that I recently got a girlfriend. If you are not willing to come forward, I can only bear the pressure by myself and let you be beaten and scolded... You can't just find a girl and take it back to act, right? I can't Can’t do it.”
Ye Xiaojing glared at him, retracted his fist, and started the car.
The bus slowly drove out of the main entrance of the Sheriff's Department and turned towards the block opposite the apartment.
"Where are we going?"
"Buying gifts in the nearby shopping district." Ye Xiaojing said calmly.
Jiang Qian didn't react for a while.
Then Ye Xiaojing asked carefully: "Are your grandma, aunt and sister all at home? Tell me about their likes and taboos, including their hobbies, objects and behaviors."
"Xiao Jing..." Jiang Qian understood the other party's intention.
Ye Xiaojing looked forward, and her tone finally softened: "If I want to go to your house, I can't go empty-handed, right?"
……
In the evening, Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing stood at the door of their home and rang the doorbell.
When I got off the elevator, I looked at it with my spiritual vision. My grandma, aunt, and sister were all there, and it was quite a battle.
Before coming, Jiang Qian had already put on a set of casual clothes that he usually wears at home, intending to return to his status as a student when gathering at home.
Ye Xiaojing changed her usual dressing style and wore a light-colored windbreaker and woolen sweater that matched Jiang Qian's clothes. She replaced her powerful boots with white sneakers and paired them with leggings jeans to soften her original look. She has a cold temperament, and with light makeup, she is both cool and fresh, making her very charming and charming.
Both of them were carrying something in their hands.
Not long after the doorbell rang, the door opened.
Sister Yu Xuan appeared at the door radiantly. Even without any makeup and only wearing a simple home dress, her appearance and temperament were still not inferior to any of today's celebrities who are all dressed up for the red carpet.
"Hey, Ah Qian is back?" Yu Xuan's gaze paused on Jiang Qian's face, and then naturally turned to Ye Xiaojing with an easy-going smile, "Is this Xiaojing? Come in quickly."
< br>
"Sister Yuxuan." Ye Xiaojing nodded in greeting, her cheeks slightly moist.
She had met Yu Xuan from a distance and was amazed by his appearance and temperament. Now that she had such a close encounter, she found that Yu Xuan without makeup was even more charming than she remembered.
"This is a gift Xiaojing brought to my sister. I heard that you like to make incense, so..." Jiang Qian said quietly.
He has evolved to the four states, but he still has not been able to glimpse the expected super-species energy structure from Yu Xuan.
Ye Xiaojing listened and hurriedly handed over the wooden gift box in his hand. Yu Xuan took it with a decent smile and led the two of them into the house.
"Grandma, aunt, A Qian and the others are here."
With this greeting, Jiang Qian Lafayette and Jiang Qian's aunt came up from the house at the same time.
"Oh, are you finally here?" Auntie came out with a flourish, but there was obvious complaint in her tone, "A Qian, you are the same. If I didn't do everything possible to call you back for a meal, Teacher Tang doesn't even know when we can see you. Looking after my grandson!”
Lafayette looked at Ye Xiaojing reservedly, and only after the other party offered him a greeting gift did his serious face show a smile.
Jiang Qian secretly thought that was bad: It seems that my family has a lot of objections to me this time, but it has caused Xiaojing to have to resist thunder when he is a guest for the first time.
But Ye Xiaojing didn't seem to be aware of it, and still had a pleasant smile on his face. He was always polite and well-behaved, answering all questions when he needed to be called upon.
Not only that, after learning that Ye Xiaojing was also good at cooking, her aunt changed her previous complaints and asked Xiaojing to come to the kitchen to compete with each other.
Lafayette gouged out his aunt at that time, and Yu Xuan also said: "This is the first time this girl has come to our house as a guest, how can there be any reason to let people cook?"
My aunt was a little embarrassed at the time.
"It's okay, let her go, my aunt will just give her some guidance." Jiang Qian said from the side.
Ye Xiaojing nodded happily with a sincere expression.
Lafayette's expression softened: the meaning was correct.
The aunt was also happy and took Ye Xiaojing to the kitchen...
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Qiancai and Lafayette explained the reason why he has been away from home recently: his boss's emphasis is secondary, mainly because he strives to improve himself and wants to learn more during his internship, so he follows his seniors to participate in projects and receive training . Therefore, except for class time, I spent most of my time in the company learning skills, and did not waste my time because of falling in love.
And the Ye Xiaojing he described was, like himself, a young intern at the Vanzhong Group. The two are similar in age, so they have a lot in common. Their appreciation for each other emerged during work and study. After in-depth and simple communication, they established a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend.
To put it bluntly, the Jiang family's Lafayette was able to coax him through.
So Jiang Qian turned to his sister who smiled deeply.
"Sister, could you please take a step to talk?"
At this time, Lafayette was focused on TV news, and his interest in current affairs surpassed his grandson's boring internship life.
Yu Xuan hugged his shoulders and leaned against the restaurant bar, saying meaningfully: "My girlfriend treats you well."
"It's not bad." Jiang Qian changed the topic with a smile and approached Yu Xuan, "Sister, I was wrong."
Yu Xuan raised his eyebrows and his expression moved slightly.
"What, I'm going to say it, but you're not allowed to do it."
"I'll give you face today."
"I accidentally broke the watch you gave me..."
Jiang Qian said while paying attention to Yu Xuan's reaction: "I remember you said that the watch was completely handmade, and you didn't dare to send it for repair, so I had to find a way with you."
Yu Xuan listened to Jiang Qian's words, but his eyes were on the kitchen... In the kitchen, his aunt Jiang Chuntao was working closely with Ye Xiaojing, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere of communication was excellent.
She was silent for a while and said in a weak tone: "If it's broken, it's broken."
"How can that be done? My sister gave me my watch, how can I just throw it away!"
Seeing that Yu Xuan was in a bad mood, Jiang Qian immediately put on a sincere expression and took a step back: "Sister, I really like this watch, but it's all because of my carelessness that I broke it. If you're too lazy, Help me fix it, or tell me the contact information of that store and I’ll contact you myself, okay?”
Hearing this, Yu Xuan finally became interested, and a faint smile spread between his overly charming eyebrows.
Then he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Qian: "Then give it to me and I will help you repair it."
"Alright."
Jiang Qian couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but this was also expected.
The last time I appraised the props, I asked a logistics colleague to help check: the watch is not a prop, but a spiritual object endowed with functions. The added functions will be slowly lost over time, and if there is no continuous supply, it will revert to an ordinary watch over time.
However, due to the serious damage to the watch, colleagues in the logistics department did not detect the remaining functions of the watch at that time.
Next, it depends on what kind of feedback his sister will give him.
Jiang Qian handed the package containing the broken watch to Yu Xuan and quietly completed the arrangement for his sister.
He didn't install any tracking facilities on this watch, and he didn't do any tricks. He was just being smart, and thought it was impossible to hide it from Yu Xuan.
What he has to do now is to wait for his sister to feed back the watch, use it to test the energy given to it, and then consider whether to explore the source of the tracking watch.
"Your girlfriend seems to be quite capable." After taking the sealed bag, Yu Xuan didn't seem surprised by how broken the watch was, and his eyes were still focused on Ye Xiaojing in the kitchen.
Jiang Qian nodded calmly: "Yes, and he obeys my words, is caring, and deeply admires your brother."
"Hiss~" Yu Xuan frowned slightly and grabbed the shawl next to him and wrapped it around his body.
"What's wrong?"
"Cold!"
……
There was still some time before dinner was ready. Jiang Qian saw that Ye Xiaojing got along well with his family and did not stay with him all the time.
He took the opportunity to return to the room and took out the box full of runes from the drawer: the little devil suit.
There is another important task today: upgrading props!
The seven demons of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire are finally reunited, lying neatly in the box, waiting to receive the grace of upgrade.
When these guys are in the regular level, they are the best in the ordinary. It stands to reason that after being promoted to the powerful props, they will also be among the top props in the powerful level... Jiang Qian thought logically.
So I thought about it and tried to activate the prop upgrade function. Sure enough, we got a response from the super species world:
[Tip: You currently have the permission to upgrade regular props to the elite level twice. You can only upgrade one prop each time. Please complete the use of this permission within seven days. It will be invalidated after expiration. 】
[Please select the props you want to upgrade! 】
Jiang Qian took out the invisibility cloak and put it aside, and checked it with his mind along with the little devil suit on the table.
The beep continues:
[Upgrading, please wait...]
Jiang Qian waited patiently. He could clearly observe that the demon clones lying side by side in the box were in a state of anxiety, irritated, trembling, and even a little hysterical during the upgrade process.
But this process did not last long, and the good news came quickly:
【Upgrade completed! 】
[The prop "Little Devil Set" has been upgraded from a regular prop to a powerful prop, and has been renamed: "Devil Set". 】
Then, there is a list of familiar information:
【Name: Demon Suit】
【Type: Weapon】
[Function: stand-in, house-keeper, curse]
[Introduction: Demons polluted by seven emotions have always been known as the most terrifying nightmare in the trial dungeon. They kill the testers and wait for the arrival of the Son of Destiny, then crawl on the ground and do the work of dogs and horses. 】
[Usage 1: Sacrifice the clone, and the golden cicada escapes from its shell! Among the seven black porcelain dolls are seven demon clones, which can be used repeatedly as stand-ins until the stand-ins die. The avatar's ability is directly related to the original ability, and grows with the improvement of the original ability. 】
[Usage 2: As a ward off evil spirits, the devil's clone will protect the owner(s) of the house from disaster. 】
[Usage 3: Use the demon clone as a medium to implement emotional curses, and the target can be any living creature. Place the demon clone within seven meters of the target and cast a curse with your mind. The cursed living creature will always be in a single strong emotion until the curse ends or the target dies. 】
[Note 1: This is the story of seven little devils and a card holder! It should be noted that every time a little devil dies, the main body will bear the corresponding price. 】
[Note 2: When using the curse function, the body will suffer more than twice the energy consumption. 】
……
Jiang Qian carefully examined the information about the upgraded demon suit. In fact, it only added one more "Usage 3" curse function than before.
According to Jiang Qian's literal understanding, this "curse" function is somewhat similar to the passive protection of the little devil suit, which will cause close attackers to experience strong emotional pollution. "Curse" is an active skill that consumes twice as much energy as one's own in exchange for the target's emotional collapse.
The price is not bad, it is a harsh measure.
[The prop "Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded from a regular prop to a powerful prop, and has been renamed: "Invisibility Armor". 】
The information is as follows:
[Name: Stealth Armor]
【Category: Clothing】
[Function: Concealment, Defense]
[Description: A being with an extremely poor sense of existence cursed this coat. Therefore, anyone covered by this coat cannot escape the fate of being "ignored". But the cloak of concealment cannot escape the gaze of the "mind's eye." 】
[Usage 1: Wear it on the body, or perform shielding actions on the inner or outer surface. The invisibility cloak will select the covered objects and range according to the owner's intention. 】
[Usage 2: It has the defense power of a powerful person and can take effect simultaneously with Usage 1. 】
[Note: Brothers are brothers, women are like clothes... The clothes said: Did I provoke you? 】
……
As expected, the only shortcoming of the invisibility cloak was made up for.
Wearing an invisibility cloak with elite-level defense, what's there to fear even if you're walking alone in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?
With this powerful tool in hand, when he conquers dungeons and performs missions in the future, he will seem to have mastered a secret method that allows him to advance, attack, and retreat to defend. He can kill people without being noticed and break the situation in an instant.
Jiang Qian thought with satisfaction as he put away the upgraded new props.
Then take out the powerful prop that will be left at home and continue to play its role as a house guard: the house guard tourmaline.
