Chapter 1044: Protection

Lu Xian was in high spirits the entire time, while Chi Jiao was gloomy.

After hearing what the little heart said earlier, she really couldn’t pretend to be cheerful.

Lu Xian could tell that Chi Jiao wasn’t in a good mood. She looked at her worriedly and asked, “Jiaojiao, why are you so gloomy? You seem to have had something on your mind since a while ago.”

“I’m thinking that I really like spending time with Auntie. I’m worried that after you leave, I won’t be able to shop with you like I did today.” Chi Jiao’s expression was solemn.

When she said “leave” she meant “die”. She was really worried that Lu Xian would lose her life.

If Lu Xian really had the Heart of Time in her body, then things would become very troublesome.

Lu Xian didn’t understand what she was worried about. After hearing Chi Jiao’s words, she couldn’t help chuckling. “Aiya, don’t worry. I won’t go anywhere in the future. Too many things have happened recently. I also want to give myself a chance to be alone. Whether it’s Ye Yichen or Quan Jingzhou, I don’t want to interact with them for the time being.”

“Auntie, you can stay at my place. You will be safe there. Brother Quan and I will do everything we can to protect you,” Chi Jiao said firmly, her eyes burning.

Lu Xian was touched. After nodding in agreement, the two of them continued chatting happily.

Shen Xing sat at the side and listened. It kept eating and soon finished several pieces of cake.

After eating the cake and drinking their coffee, Chi Jiao and Lu Xian shopped for a while before returning home after lunch.

Chi Jiao contacted 117 and settled some trivial matters. She confirmed with them that there was no second victim so far.

The 117 staff Chi Jiao called today was the head of security, Di Ziyan.

Di Ziyan’s business-like voice came from the other end of the line. “Boss, we’ve already informed all the Espers so far. We told them that it’s best not to go out at night during this period of time. However, many people won’t listen to our advice.”

“This murder case is very strange. Get your subordinates to remind those Espers every day that if they don’t follow 117’s instructions and be careful, we won’t be responsible if anything happens to them.” Chi Jiao’s pretty face was stern as she instructed him.

“Got it.” Di Ziyan immediately agreed and ended the call.

After hanging up, Chi Jiao rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

The little pink lizard, which had been sleeping at the side, looked at her. It took the initiative to take one of the fresh fruits it usually ate and offered it to her.

Chi Jiao’s expression was still solemn, but after being coaxed by the little pink lizard, she couldn’t help smiling a little.

“This little fellow is so considerate. It’s really adorable.” Chi Jiao took the grape from the little pink lizard and ate it. It was so sweet that it reached her heart.

The little pink lizard smiled happily and took the initiative to snuggle into her arms, shamelessly acting cute.

Chi Jiao was playing with the little pink lizard when her phone rang.

Chi Jiao took a closer look and realized that it was Quan Jue.

Chi Jiao smiled brilliantly as she answered the call. “Brother Quan, are you done?”

“Yes, I just finalized the final version of the game with Mr. Oster. If nothing goes wrong, it will be released the day after tomorrow,” Quan Jue said with a smile.
