Chapter 67 -67: If I Knew, I Would’ve Said One Month
Lucas Jennings felt life had never been more frustrating.
Next to him, after completing a transfer and successfully obtaining the Silence Talisman he wanted, Lucas Jennings suddenly seemed to have realized something, recalling the earlier situation with Adam Jennings and their bet.
“Brother Adam, so you ran out because you were halfway through your shower when the water cut off, and no one heard you when you called out…”
Before he could finish, Lucas Jennings found his mouth covered by Adam Jennings.
“Shut up!”
Scarlett Jennings leisurely looked at Adam Jennings and repeated, “I won the bet.”
Adam Jennings’s face was full of displeasure.
*Even though he was unwilling, he indeed lost.*
Scarlett Jennings didn’t waste any words with him, stood up, and simply said, “For the next week, don’t let me hear your voice.”
Pausing for a moment, she emphasized again,
“I think the fourth young master of the Jennings Family should still have this bit of credibility, right?”
Even if he didn’t, she could make sure he did.
Although Adam Jennings listened with a sullen face, he still responded irritably,
“Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word.”
Scarlett Jennings was immediately pleased, nodded, and walked straight out of Lucas Jennings’s room.
As she left, the two of them vaguely heard her muttering softly,
“I should have said a month directly.”
Adam Jennings: …
“Pfft.” Lucas Jennings couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.
Adam Jennings glared at him with a sullen face, “Lucas, what’s gotten into you? Always siding with this outsider!”
Upon hearing this, Lucas Jennings immediately stiffened his neck, “What outsider?! She’s my cousin and your actual cousin! If you keep saying that, I’ll tell Uncle on you!”
Adam Jennings was almost amused by Lucas Jennings’s ridiculousness.
“Only kids tattle.”
Besides, who was the one who jumped out to target this ‘cousin’ in the first place?
*Had he forgotten what he did himself?*
“Brother Adam, you saw it yourself. My sister genuinely has skills. Don’t go against her anymore. Otherwise, if she really gets mad one day, handling you would be a piece of cake for her.”
Lucas Jennings earnestly tried to persuade him for once.
Adam Jennings inexplicably thought again of the Mystical Sect folks using tricks to summon small ghosts to deal with people, and he felt a chill in his heart. But on the surface, he refused to show any weakness.
“She, she dares! I’ll tell Uncle on her!”
Lucas Jennings: …
*Who just said that only kids tattle?*
Adam Jennings couldn’t be bothered to say much more to Lucas Jennings. He turned his head and walked out, returning to his own room.
Upstairs, when Scarlett Jennings returned to her room, she immediately saw the little baby spirit floating around inside, looking like a small ginseng doll kicking its tiny legs randomly.
The baby spirit had lost its resentful energy, appearing like a chubby little ginseng, with its two small legs kicking while it floated, looking utterly adorable.
Several times, it tried to kick and float toward the window, only to be bounced back by the Barrier Scarlett Jennings had set in the room.
Though it no longer held any resentment, the baby spirit instinctively wanted to find its mother.
The little fox, perhaps finding it amusing, swung its plump round tail and chased after the baby spirit. Upon seeing it bounced back, it attempted to nip at it with its mouth.
This scared the baby spirit, making it quickly float high into the air.
