Chapter 99 - Returning To School Part 1

Kable smiled and scratched Shen Xia's ears. "It would indeed be entertaining." 

After a quick bath, Shen Xia pulled Kable downstairs for breakfast. Everyone else was already eating when they arrived. Shen Yi's chopsticks paused when he saw the couple walk into the dining room. "Have you put a baby in her belly yet? I want to see my great grandson or great granddaughter soon!"

"Grandpa!" Shen Xia yelled, her cheeks burning red. She knew she might already be pregnant, but that did mean talking about it was not embarrassing for her.

"What!? I'm old! I would like to see my great grandkids soon. Hurry up and pop a few out already." Shen Yi yelled. He didn't care how he worded it. That was until Zi Shu walked over and smacked him in the back of his head."Old woman, why did you hit me!?"

"Cause you're shameless. Can't you say things in a way that doesn't embarrass my Xiaxia!?" Zi Shu replied with a snort. She then walked over to Shen Xia and grabbed her hands. "Xiaxia, don't listen to that fool. Just pop out as many as you can within a year, so your grandmother can spoil her great grandchildren."

Shen Xia did not know if she should laugh or cry. Did they think she was some kind of baby factory? She was not a regular fox animal. There was no way she would have a litter of kids! Feeling helpless towards her grandmother, Shen Xia could only obediently nod her head and say: "I will at least try to pop one out for you before the end of the year." 

No matter how embarrassing it was, she could not talk back to her grandmother, who had raised her since she was little. If her grandmother wanted a great grandchild she would produce one. Luckily she was probably already pregnant. However, she was not in any way against strapping Kable to a bed for a few weeks to be sure. 

After breakfast, it was finally time to say goodbye to Kable. "So you will be back in a month at the latest right?"

"Yes, I should be no more than a month. I will be sure to video call you once a night. If anything comes up, I will message you. If there are any emergencies, just tell Lilith to contact me through our mental link. I will drop everything and come running to your side." Kable pulled Shen Xia into a hug and rested his chin on top of her head.

"Mm… I will be waiting." Shen Xia smiled and hugged Kable tightly. The two kissed, and before Shen Xia's eyes, Kable turned into a mass of bats and disappeared.

Shen Xia was reluctant to see him go, but this was part of life. Her devilish handsome man had to work. When she turned around, she was met with a bunch of teasing gazes from her so called sisters. "Hehe Xiaxia, being so lovey dovey in the moving did you two…. Do that?" 

"Xinya! If you don't want to become a laughing stock in the school, I would quit now,  or I might just make you kiss the ugliest boy in school in front of the entire school." Shen Xia said while raising her eyebrow.

Quan Xinya's face paled as she quickly ran over to Shen Xia, knelt down, and pushed her head against the ground. "I'm sorry! Please don't do that!"

Shen Xia burst out laughing as she helped Quan Xinya up. "Stop being silly. Before we head to school, I need to tell my grandpa something." 

Quan Xinya stood up and pursed her lips. She wanted to say she was not acting silly. She was truly scared that she would be charmed by Shen Xia if she got mad! After being charmed that one day she held a slight fear for it. She was not scared of Shen Xia but the actual charm since she was unable to control her body!

Inside the house, Shen Xia went to her grandfather's study and knocked on the door. "Grandpa?" 

"Xiaxia, what's wrong?" Shen Yi looked up from the papers in front of him and asked.

"Kable will be gone for about a month, and we planned to announce our engagement when he gets back. I want to hold a grand party and invite my loving uncles, aunts, and cousins to enjoy the grand occasion with me." Shen Xia said with a sweet smile on her lips. But her eyes gave away the mischievousness she had in store. 

Shen Yi looked at his granddaughter, who had changed a lot from what he remembered, and smiled. "You have grown strong. Don't worry, I will hold the biggest venue for such a grand occasion! It is not every day that my wonderful granddaughter gets engaged. I would also like to see those brats' faces when they end up being walked all over by the one girl they tried to shun from the family."

Shen Yi paused as he stared at Shen Xia. "Xiaxia, thank you..."

"Hmm?" Shen Xia was confused as to why she was being thanked. She tilted her head to the side in a puzzled expression.

"Thank you for not using your powers to eliminate those two sons of mine who have no understanding of what the saying "blood is thicker than water" actually means. They have tormented you in many ways, yet you still did not kill them. For this, I am grateful to you." Shen Yi replied. This little girl in front of him could easily wipe them out, but she did not do that. She has let them off time and time again.

"Grandpa, I might give them trouble, but I will never kill them unless they physically harm those I care about. Although it can be said I am no longer human, I am still your granddaughter, and I will never do harm to those you care for without good reason. So worry not, even if I were to make them dirt poor, I would still not kill them." Shen Xia said as she walked over and hugged her grandfather.

"Mmm… I know you wouldn't." Shen Yi smiled and patted Shen Xia's arm before pushing her away. "Go. You will be late for school."

"Okay! I will be back later, Grandpa! Don't work too hard!"
