The Mightiest Little Master of Metaphysics-Chapter 24: 800,000, no bargaining哦

In early summer afternoons, the sun blazes fiercely.

Yun Qi still adheres to the routine from Yuqing Temple—afternoon naps are a must.

Yun Qiuce strolled leisurely into the living room, followed by Pang Hu who was carrying a bag of snacks.

"Wait here, I'll go up and check."

Pang Hu quickly stopped him, "Brother Yun, let's wait a little longer. Master Xiao Qi is still sleeping."

"Tch, look at you being all cowardly. I'm her uncle; if she doesn't give me face, who else would she?"

Yun Qiuce said as he went upstairs.

He opened the bedroom door, finding Yun Qi lying in a small bundle on a big princess bed, surrounded by pink drapes, making the whole atmosphere cozy and romantic.

It seemed like there was a sleeping beauty lying on the bed.

Yun Qi's face was rosy from sleep, with her cherry lips slightly puckered, glistening with a dewy sheen.

Yun Qiuce squatted down and mischievously poked her chubby cheeks with his fingertips.

"Sweetie..."

"Little Qi..."

"It's Uncle..."

...

Yun Qi was sleeping soundly, and upon hearing noises, she thought it was a mosquito. She furrowed her brows and swatted her hand.

"Ah—" Yun Qiuce was hit on the forehead, holding it with his hand, and stared at her in a daze.

The sound startled Yun Qi awake. She sat up, her sleepy eyes half-open, wearing cotton pajamas with slouched little shoulders, reminiscent of a milk-scented young beast.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" She blinked her large phoenix eyes, confused, a thin mist of water over them.

"I..." Yun Qiuce, wanting to save face, said, "Nothing, just a mosquito."

"Oh."

With this ruckus, Yun Qi couldn't fall back asleep. She turned over, climbing down from the big princess bed.

She stepped barefoot onto the wooden floor, not bothering to look for slippers. She ended up wearing the left and right ones incorrectly but didn't correct it, and shuffled along with narrowed eyes, kicking her slippers, dragging herself downstairs, yawning all the way.

Yun Qiuce followed behind, both amused and feeling tender-hearted.

Yup, Yun Qi is the cutest little human cub in the world.

Even after reaching downstairs, she couldn't open her eyes fully, making people suspect she might just collapse onto the sofa and fall back asleep at any moment.

Pang Hu swiftly grabbed a fruit knife, peeled an apple in a few quick strokes, and offered it with a flattering smile like a blooming sunflower. "Master Xiao Qi."

Yun Qi groggily took it, biting into it. The sweet juice instantly filled her mouth.

Her half-closed phoenix eyes widened instantly, revealing a radiant sparkle like twinkling stars inside.

"Delicious!" Her baby voice rang out clearly, waking her sweetly.

Pang Hu, feeling like a praised schoolboy, leaned in with a chubby face, "Little Master, I actually came this time to ask for your help."

Yun Qi, nibbling on her apple, turned her head curiously.

"It's not for me; it's for my aunt. The problem still lies with the Jade Pendant, which my aunt gave me. At the time, no one knew it could attract a ghost. I only found out when I called my aunt yesterday that her family's been super unlucky lately—just one misfortune after another, even affecting her health. So I wondered, could that female ghost be haunting her?"

"Impossible," Yun Qi said with the fresh scent of apples lingering in her mouth, "She's been staying inside the pendant obediently. If she sneaks out, I'll know."

Yun Qiuce and Pang Hu exchanged glances.

Pang Hu confidently said, "Then there must be something else dirty involved. Actually, my aunt bought the pendant from someone else, and it was part of a batch of items. So, some other pieces might also be problematic."

He looked at Yun Qi, blinking, and Yun Qi blinked back at him.

Pang Hu chuckled, "So, Little Master, could you go to my aunt's place to have a look? We wouldn't ask for nothing, and we wouldn't dare take you for granted. If you don't mind, we'll reimburse you."

Yun Qi looked up at Pang Hu, "Do you have money?"

Pang Hu patted his chest, "I don't have money, but my aunt is in business, and she has money."

"Alright," Yun Qi nodded, "800,000 for a one-time solution, and no bargaining."
