Chapter 58; Familiar Feeling

Li Juanxin was arguing with his fox Fluffy at the doorway.

"No Fluffy! We can't go out. Weren't you there when Daddy said not to step out of this resident?"

The fox's tail was swishing furiously as he pawed against the doorframe. 'It had been two days a

ready!" Fluffy whined back.

At the same time Li Juanxin snapped back "So what if it had been two days, there's food at home. You won't starve but you still insist on eating honey cake!"

The fox looked at him and blinked innocently: 'No-one is watching us, can't we just sneak out and come back quickly? Joyous restaurant is only three blocks away. " Fluffy cute mood has been activated.

Unfortunately, although Juanxin loved cute things, his desire to impress his father was stronger. He also looks at the fox pitifully and soon tears gather in his eyes: "Fluffy, do you want Juanxin to be a bad boy, and Daddy won't like him anymore? Say, is that why you're doing this?"

The fox's eyes widened dramatically in surprise, it didn't expect for Juanxin to counterattack. Its head tilted to the side coldly and sneered: 'Don't be ridiculous!'

Juanxin also stops acting and stares at the fox angrily; "You are the one being ridiculous! Three blocks from here to Joyous restaurant. Even if we take a carriage transport, not to mention the time we'll spend there. Wouldn't it be enough for everyone to notice that we're gone? And what if Daddy came out early and couldn't find me, wouldn't I be in trouble?"

"You are just making things up!" Fluffy yowls. It's face now twisted to the left in irritation.

"Anyway, you won't die for not eating honey in two days!" Juanxin retorted.

One fox and one kid stared at each other stubbornly.

"Xiao Xin,"

"Huh? Who's there?" Juanxin hears a voice in his head calling him. "Fluffy, did you just hear someone calling my name?"

The fox turned its head and started looking around. No one was there. It then turned back towards him and shook its head.

"That's strange." Juanxin muttered, he even thought it was father 's voice. 'Maybe I miss Daddy too much.'

"Xiao Xin?" This voice repeated again.

"Ah, yes? Daddy?" Juanxin replied, looking toward the direction where he heard from.

"Yes, it's daddy. Come to the room daddy's need your help." Li Jain answer

Juanxin nodded and started running towards the room excitedly. When he arrived at the door, the barriers had already been removed. He pushed open the door and ran into the room. "Daddy, I missed you." He jumped into Li Jain arms.

Li Jain hiss in pain, his injuries haven't been taken care of yet. But he hugged the child close nonetheless. "Daddy missed you too. Your brother will be out tomorrow morning. Can you help him remove the remaining bad energy?"

"Of course. I will do my best. You can count on me daddy." Juanxin smiles brightly.

"Ok then, I'm counting on you." Li Jain took out a small scroll and handed it to Juanxin, "You should learn this first and follow the steps." He ruffled Juanxin's hair gently and released him.

"I promise to do my best!" Juanxin waves goodbye and leaves. This is the first time daddy actually needed his help. He got to do a good job.

The next day, most of the demonic energy in Yujian's body had been cleaned up , only a few remains remained. Now, his skin color and appearance were normal again. He had also woken up from a coma.

When Yujian woke up, the first thing he wanted to do was to thank his father and express his gratitude. But Li Jain couldn't hold on any longer and didn't want Yujian to see his sorry state so he urged him to leave. "Go to your brothers, they've all been worried about you. As for the remaining energy, Xiao Xin will help you get rid of it."

Li Yujian saw his father's intention and didn't force him further. So he stood up and bowed deeply before exiting the room.

By the time Yujian left the room, Li Jain couldn't hold in anymore and felt to the ground.

...

Bai Lian was sitting in the courtyard admiring the view when he saw a black figure breaking through the protective barrier. He immediately jumped to his feet, prepared to fight the intruder who dared to trespass into their territory. "Who's there?"

"What happened here?!"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Seeing that the person was Liu Xiong, Bai Lian put down his sword in relief. "Liu Xiong, don't scare me like this again! Why didn't you pass through the door?" He scolded.

Liu Xiong didn't have time to talk about unnecessary things with him and frowned; "I asked you what happened? Why is the master spirit unstable?!" He asks urgently.

"The Boss soul is unstable?" Bai Lian wanted to ask 'how do you know?' but seeing Liu Xiong face that was getting inpatient by the second, he gave up and told him about what happened a few days ago and how their boss was still helping the little master heal. Liu Xiong's expression grew deeper and darker with each passing sentence. After narrating the story, Bai Lian finally realized that the person has long gone.

A dark blue mark appeared on his head. Bai Lian knows that Liu Xiong is stronger than the rest of them. But to the point where he couldn't feel his presence? Just how strong is this guy?!

Liu Xiong saw the protective barrier at the door, he waved his hand cautiously and entered the room. Seeing the person laying on the floor , his brow furrowed more, "Why do you always want to be the hero? You leave your injuries like this and attend to others first. Are you tired of living?" Liu Xiong says while checking Li Jain conditions.

Hearing the voice, Li Jain knew who it was.

"He is my child, not others. He is still young and his bones haven't grown yet. He wouldn't be able to survive." Li Jain explained calmly.

"You give everything up for them and even put your life in danger. If something bad happens to you, how would they survive?" Liu Xiong scolds.

Li Jain was silent for a while; "I will not let anything bad happen to them." He growls quietly.

"You still haven't changed. Still so stubborn!" Liu Xiong sighs heavily as he help Li Jain up and support his back before transmitting energy to him.

Li Jain gasps slightly as he feels his entire body relaxing. The spiritual energy that was going through his body felt familiar, way too familiar. Even his body accepted it without resistance.

Li Jain frowns at this feeling. He had never encountered this before, and..... Suddenly it hit him. He gasped again and looked up at Liu Xiong with wide eyes: "Have I met you somewhere before the summoning?"

Liu Xiong smirked: "Maybe…" Seeing Li Jain was still confused, he shook his head; "You little fruit has a really bad memory."

Li Jain ignored the sarcasm but this reply confirmed that he might have known Liu Xiong in his previous life. At the least, they should have an encounter.

"Is Liu Xiong your real name?" Li Jain continued to ask, but Liu Xiong just stared at him with playing eyes, neither agreeing or disagreeing.
