The Young Matriarch

Chapter 984: Chapter 984: Drive, Catch Up For Me

The Duan Family’s Chinese-style garden villa is quite large, and even though it’s the Spring Festival holiday period, there are still bodyguards outside for protection.

Duan Xingye is playing in the garden with Erha and the Cloud-swallowing Beast. Erha is a dog he adopted from a classmate’s house, but later due to his busy studies, he left it to his fourth uncle to take care of. His fourth uncle is willing to take care of the dog but finds it quite annoying.

The Cloud-swallowing Beast doesn’t like playing with the silly dog; rather, it’s interested in the flowers in the garden, often chomping down on a bud and tossing it onto itself, basking in its own beauty.

Duan Xingye chases after them, gasping for breath, bending over and panting: "You guys can play by yourselves. I’m exhausted. I think my aunt and uncle are back. I’ll go check it out and grab some water."

Duan Xingye turns around to head back for a drink.

The Cloud-swallowing Beast merrily picks various flowers from the garden and surrounds itself with them, ignoring the silly howls of Erha. It’s not a dog, and its status is much higher than a dog’s, so it won’t get scolded for picking flowers.

Suddenly, the small horn on its head, which hasn’t fully grown, is pulled from behind, causing the little beast’s mouth to twitch painfully and drop the flower it was holding. It cries out in discomfort.

"You naughty little critter, sneaking out like this. Do you know how worried Immortal Teacher is about you?"

"Does it hurt? It should hurt, otherwise, you wouldn’t understand what a lesson is!"

Two identical-looking girls suddenly appear, one of them grabbing its horn, and they chatter on one after another.

It hurts, it hurts.

The Cloud-swallowing Beast is so pained that it kicks the turf with its hooves, whining continually, trying to break free from the girl’s hold but finding it impossible.

Erha, sensing things aren’t right, flees back to its doghouse in a panic.

"Whoa, silly snake, who are those two girls? Is your master secretly raising my ancestor’s women?" Xue Qiu, who has long struggled with learning the Transformation Technique, turns outside to look.

Although it cannot learn the Transformation Technique, it’s not human at least, possessing excellent vision, able to spot from afar the garden with two beautiful twin girls gathered around the Cloud-swallowing Beast, seemingly doing something.

Yi Bai Wan is infuriated: this stupid rodent too dumb to learn the Transformation Technique, always busy spreading rumors.

Xue Qiu doesn’t like studying, so it simply reclines at the window enjoying the spectacle. The more it watches, the stranger it feels: "What are those two girls up to? Whoa, silly snake, are they trying to kidnap the Cloud-swallowing Beast?"

"Yuyu, it’s enough to give it a lesson, let’s take it back to Master first." Li Zhuzhu presses down on her sister’s hand that intends to smack Cloud-swallowing Beast’s head, "After all, this is someone else’s home, intruding into private property is not a good idea, let’s leave now."

Each of the sisters grabs one hoof of the Cloud-swallowing Beast to take it back.

"Seriously? They’re stealing from the Duan Family here?!"

Xue Qiu is enraged, jumps onto Yi Bai Wan’s head and directs: "Go, chase after them for me!"

Yi Bai Wan: ’...’

There’s no choice for Xue Qiu, back when it was still a hamster, it could still ride on paper cranes, but now its body is different.

The pair, a mouse and a snake, flies straight out from Duan Feihan’s courtyard balcony window.

Xue Qiu jumps down from Yi Bai Wan’s head, raises its milkily innocent little face, and rushes over shouting at the two: "Hey, what are you guys doing? That’s not your pet! Don’t touch it." noveldrama

"Mouse?" Li Zhuzhu glances at it and laughs.

Xue Qiu’s white fur stands on end, roaring loudly: "You are the mouse, your whole family is mice, I am a hamster! Say it again and I’ll bite you."

Li Yuyu grabs Xue Qiu’s ear with one hand and laughs, "Sister, this little mouse is quite cute after transforming. Why don’t we take it back together?"
