Chapter 535: Chapter 535: The Man Chosen by the Little Mystical Creatures

As soon as Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, the little cutie suddenly jumped down from her arms.

Its chubby, big tail fluffed up, slouching its whole fox body and taking on an aggressive stance towards the door.

This scene left the four brothers beside her dumbfounded for a moment.

But no one doubted the truth of Scarlett Jennings’ words.

Adam Jennings instinctively lifted a foot to block in front of Kingston Jennings.

Lucas Jennings quickly pulled out his pink utility knife from his pocket and moved closer to Scarlett Jennings.

Originally, Chase Jennings intended to instinctively back away, but seeing his two brothers’ reactions, he froze momentarily and stepped forward instead.

Reaching out, trying to drag Lucas behind him.

“Brother Chase, don’t pull me, you stand back.”

Lucas whispered discontentedly, which slightly annoyed Chase.

“You’re the one who should stand back!”

Not realizing their own age, when there are several of them here and they still need the youngest to rush in the forefront.

Chase thought so and felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Because he habitually overlooked it again.

Every time something happened, the one who rushed to the front first was also only eighteen years old.

The second youngest among them.

Chase felt speechless for a moment, just about to find something to say, when Scarlett Jennings interjected,

“You all stay outside.”

Then, ignoring them, she quickly pressed the code to unlock the door and slipped inside by herself.

The little cutie followed her footsteps and dashed in just as she opened the door.

Lucas did not hesitate to follow inside either, not forgetting to explain,

“I brought the Jade Talisman, so I can go in.”

Adam and Kingston exchanged a glance; they also had the Jade Talisman.

So they went in too.

Chase: …

He didn’t have a Jade Talisman.

Whatever, he went in too.

Otherwise, Scarlett might think he doesn’t take her seriously again.

The group followed each other closely into the room, not having time to admire the decor inside before they saw Scarlett Jennings heading toward a particular room.

Lucas recognized it as the playhouse prepared for the little fox.

Scarlett Jennings opened the room’s door and saw inside what was clearly a small jungle-themed playground, complete with a small wooden house bed, sandy rolling slopes, and aerial rope ladders.

Fearing the little fox might get bored playing alone, there were also several fox plushies and life-like models of small animals inside.

Scarlett Jennings: …

Is this one of the surprises?

But right now, she didn’t have time to marvel at Lucas’ unique taste. Her apricot-shaped eyes quickly scanned over each of the small animal models inside the room.

Finally, her gaze settled on a somewhat peculiar-looking figure resembling a flying squirrel inside.

Calling it resembling, was because its size was similar to a flying squirrel, its body red and white, with two disproportionately large ears like two fans, adding an adorable touch to it.

Scarlett Jennings just stared at it for a while and then exited the room.

As everyone thought she was going to another room to search, Scarlett suddenly turned around, and a Spirit Talisman shot straight towards the flying squirrel toy inside the room.

The group saw that the originally motionless flying squirrel toy moved its ear tips; the next moment, it nimbly leaped into the air, dodging the Spirit Talisman while quickly making for the window.

Scarlett Jennings had anticipated this and blocked its escape route ahead of time.

The long tail of the flying squirrel toy reversed direction, its small dark eyes revealing a bit of ferocity, and it actually pounced toward Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings was about to act when the little cutie swooped in, with an air of protecting its master, mouth open ready to bite the opponent.

Seeing this, everyone anticipated a scene of the two little creatures pouncing and biting at each other.

Contrary to expectations, the ferocious-eyed, big-eared flying squirrel suddenly veered mid-air, taking advantage of Scarlett Jennings and the little fox’s unpreparedness, and darted out through the door’s gap.

The group of Lucas stood at the doorway; before they could react to the suddenly shot-out large flying squirrel, they saw its eyes darting quickly over the four of them.

Finally, it straightforwardly chose Chase.

They saw it suddenly pounce on Chase, its limbs pushing against his chest, and its long tail wrapped around his neck.

Chase only felt his chest hit heavily, followed by a furry tail emitting a strange pungent odor wrapping his neck and most of his face.

“Ugh!”

A suffocating feeling accompanied by a foul odor hit him, but in just a second, the tail quickly loosened and darted out the main door.

Scarlett Jennings was about to chase after it when she heard Lucas exclaim,

“Brother Chase!”

Scarlett Jennings turned her head to see Chase sitting softly on the ground, his face covered in Demon Energy.

Feeling hopeless, Scarlett abandoned the idea of chasing outside and instead quickly walked over to Chase, pressed a Spirit Talisman onto his forehead with a smack, clasped her hands together, and rapidly chanted,

“Fresh air emerges, impure vapors disperse…”

Soon, the Demon Energy wrapped around Chase’s neck and face dissipated visibly.

Chase, like someone choking, suddenly drew a sharp breath, then immediately burst into a severe coughing fit.

While coughing, he occasionally spat things out of his mouth “ptooey ptooey.”

The group saw that what Chase spat out were several reddish-brown mixed with white hairs.

Clearly, the small demon’s tail had strangled Chase earlier, and he accidentally swallowed some.

The little cutie wrinkled its nose and approached to sniff, but Scarlett Jennings blocked it in one swoop.

She reached out and recovered the discarded talisman from Chase’s forehead, directly using the Talisman Paper to collect the hairs he spat out.

Chase: …

What kind of strange hobby is this?

…

Fortunately, that small demon probably wasn’t intending to take Chase’s life, just wanted to use him to delay Scarlett Jennings.

Once the Demon Energy wrapped around Chase’s neck was eliminated, he was fine.

Even so, Chase still felt like today was an absolute disaster.

He had noticed earlier.

That small mystical creature specifically targeted him!

And the biggest difference between him and Lucas was — he didn’t have a Jade Talisman!

The only Amulet he had had already lost its effect when it protected him from falling from the second floor.

But Scarlett Jennings seemed to have no intention of giving him another peace charm.

Chase looked at Scarlett Jennings with some resentment, hoping his recent ordeal would enlighten her to voluntarily give him a Jade Talisman for protection.

Of course, he could also buy one with money.

Scarlett Jennings evidently didn’t pick up on his signals, as she was busy assessing the situation inside the room.

Instead, Lucas, feeling sorry for his brother, took a cup from the table and poured him some water.

“Brother, stop making that face, have a sip of water first.”

Chase glanced at him, thinking, “You, with your protective talisman on, wouldn’t understand how I feel.”

But he still accepted the cup of water handed to him and drank deeply.

As Scarlett Jennings noticed, it was already too late to intervene, but she instinctively raised a hand.

Fortunately, seeing this, Chase, who had been watching her closely, paused in drinking the water.

Seeing this, Lucas and the group couldn’t help but turn to Scarlett Jennings,

“Sis, what’s up?”

Scarlett Jennings said,

“Nothing, just wanted to say that the small demon had probably been secretly living in this room…”

She paused, glancing at the cup in Chase’s hand, then added,

“The cups in the house might have also been used by it.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chase spat the water he hadn’t yet swallowed with a “puh” sound.
