It was nearly three hours before Mingxi was able to leave the Yushou Center.

Sitting on Golden Yuanbao's back, she opened her personal terminal and checked her personal information.

Citizen ID: Y11071268031477588

Name: Mingxi ★★

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: March 14, xxxx

Nationality: Longhua Country

Registered Residence: Jianghuai Region, Hujiang Province, Haizhou City

Status: E-Level Beastmaster

Beasts: Lei Yan Great Wind (Advanced Level), Locke Xiu Mi (Beginner)

Hehehe.

Well, how should I put it?

Two stars just look better than one.

Mingxi didn't go home immediately; she first went to a nearby shopping mall and bought a pile of things.

It would be impolite to visit empty-handed, especially since she and Grandma were going to repay a debt.

Mingxi didn't pick anything too expensive, mostly just fruits, drinks, toiletries, and tobacco and alcohol—items that wouldn't be too rude but also not too valuable.

She only went home to pick up Grandma after buying everything.

After Golden Yuanbao evolved, Mingxi lost interest in ordinary transportation like subways and buses.

Wasn't an open-top flying beast more stylish than those iron lumps?

However, considering that Grandma was old and an ordinary person, she might not be able to handle the rough ride of an open-top flying beast.

So, the grandmother and granddaughter chose a ride-hailing flying car.

The 200,000 star coins were pooled by four families; three were relatives from her grandfather's side, and one was a good friend of her father when he was alive.

They were all very surprised to see the grandmother and granddaughter personally come to repay the debt.

They knew the Ming family's situation all too well: an old woman and a young girl, with no source of income; besides selling the house, it was basically impossible to clear the debt.

In fact, when they agreed to lend the money, they had already prepared themselves for the possibility that the money would not be returned.

They considered it spending money to end their connection.

Yes, these four families almost all held the thought of not wanting the money back, but also no longer wanting to continue contact with the Ming family.

They didn't expect that it hadn't been long before the grandmother and granddaughter came to return the money.

They all assumed the grandmother and granddaughter had sold the house.

“...Don't worry, we didn't sell the house. It's just that my Mingxi suddenly naturally awakened a while ago, won a small competition, went to a Mystic Ground once, and got some materials, which is how we got the money.”

When Ruan Qinghe explained, her eyes were full of smiles. Even though not a single word in her speech was boastful, and there was a sense of effortless ease, to others, every word and sentence sounded like boasting.

These people looked at the Xiao Guniang standing beside Ruan Qinghe, appearing especially well-behaved and quiet.

They all muttered to themselves, “Why didn't we realize before that this Xiao Guniang from the Ming family was someone who quietly accomplished great things?”

Even though the information revealed by the old woman was not much, just the natural awakening alone was already extraordinary.

Not to mention the competition champion and the Mystic Ground.

Mystic Ground are not like cabbages in the field; most Beast Tamers live their entire lives without getting a chance to enter a Mystic Ground even once.

If this is true, this child from the Ming family is truly remarkable!

It's still possible to continue contact with the Ming family in the future.

Mingxi and Ruan Qinghe were both perceptive people; how could they not see through these people's thoughts? However, the grandmother and granddaughter didn't care.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature. The fact that they extended a helping hand during their most difficult time made them benefactors to the grandmother and granddaughter.

Therefore, as long as they didn't commit fundamental mistakes, neither of them would actively cut off contact with the other party.

They finally went to Ruan Qinghe's maiden home.

“Oh, my Mingxi, you've finally come to see your maternal granduncle.”

Upon seeing the grandmother and granddaughter, the old man sitting at the doorstep, shelling beans and chatting with his neighbor, suddenly brightened.

Ruan Qinghe's parents had passed away two years ago. The current head of the Ruan family was her eldest brother, Ruan Qingsong.

He was also Mingxi's maternal granduncle.

The brother and sister had always had a very good relationship.

Over the years, the grandmother and granddaughter also owed much to the care of Ruan Qingsong's family; otherwise, Ruan Qinghe, an old woman without any special skills, raising a Xiao Guniang, would probably have been homeless long ago.

After Ruan Qinghe fell ill, it was also their family who paid the largest medical bill; otherwise, how could they only owe 200,000 in external debt?

Even 2 million wouldn't have been enough.

In addition, Mingxi needed to go to school and was an underage Xiao Guniang; no matter how sensible and capable she was, there were times when she was powerless.

So, during Ruan Qinghe's hospitalization, Ruan Qingsong's two daughters and eldest daughter-in-law almost took turns caring for her.

No filial child stays long by a sickbed, let alone just an aunt. Could Ruan Qingsong's daughters and daughter-in-law have no complaints?

It was all because Ruan Qingsong was keeping them in check.

“Maternal Granduncle, this is for you. Dig a small spoonful and mix it with warm water every morning and evening. Tell me when you finish it.”

Mingxi had always remembered the kindness of her maternal granduncle's family towards her and Grandma, so the gift she prepared for him was a large jar of wine immortal honey.

She was not a stingy person; whoever was good to her, she was willing to repay a thousandfold.

Ruan Qingsong was also a Beast Tamers, but his level was not high; he was still only E-Level.

One of his two contracted beasts worked as a delivery person, and the other, besides accompanying him and protecting him, was also responsible for picking up and dropping off the grandchildren at school daily.

The division of labor was very clear.

It was very common for beasts to be responsible for earning money and supporting the family, while the Beast Tamers stayed at home and relaxed.

Because he was a Beast Tamers, Ruan Qingsong, although 5 years older than Ruan Qinghe, looked at least 15 years younger than her.

Hearing Mingxi's words, Ruan Qingsong happily accepted it, as if he had received a precious gift, but in reality, he thought it was just an ordinary jar of honey.

He was happy because it was the child's filial piety.

How could he have imagined that such a jar was worth over ten million star coins?

He looked at his somewhat unfamiliar grandniece with a loving expression, unable to help ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) but sigh:

“Our Mingxi has grown up and become even more beautiful.”

Mingxi's changes during this period were indeed significant; she was now like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Although she was still young and somewhat childish, she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

“Brother, you still don't know, Xiao Xi has naturally awakened!”

In front of her elder brother, the usually calm and reserved old woman rarely showed a playful and lively side, and when she boasted, she showed no restraint at all.

She said proudly, “And Xiao Xi has already awakened the second Soul Key; she now has two beasts, just got promoted to E-Level Beastmaster this morning, and also broke two Alliance records.”

Ruan Qingsong's eyes widened as she had expected, with an expression that seemed to say, 'Are you kidding me?'

“Big sister, you don't have a fever, do you?” he said, reaching out to touch Ruan Qinghe's forehead.

He believed that Mingxi had naturally awakened, but that she had already contracted two beasts? And was already an E-Level Beastmaster?

Excuse me, the old man, having lived so long, had truly never heard such an outrageous boast.

Ruan Qinghe smiled and raised her hand to brush away his outstretched hand, “Brother, I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, just let Xiao Xi summon her beasts for you to see.”

Ruan Qingsong looked at Mingxi, frowning with a worried expression: “Mingxi, your Grandma isn't sick again, is she?”
