Chapter 67 -67: If I Knew, I Would’ve Said One Month

Lucas Jennings felt life had never been more frustrating.

Next to him, after completing a transfer and successfully obtaining the Silence Talisman he wanted, Lucas Jennings suddenly seemed to have realized something, recalling the earlier situation with Adam Jennings and their bet.

“Brother Adam, so you ran out because you were halfway through your shower when the water cut off, and no one heard you when you called out…”

Before he could finish, Lucas Jennings found his mouth covered by Adam Jennings.

“Shut up!”

Scarlett Jennings leisurely looked at Adam Jennings and repeated, “I won the bet.”

Adam Jennings’s face was full of displeasure.

*Even though he was unwilling, he indeed lost.*

Scarlett Jennings didn’t waste any words with him, stood up, and simply said, “For the next week, don’t let me hear your voice.”

Pausing for a moment, she emphasized again,

“I think the fourth young master of the Jennings Family should still have this bit of credibility, right?”

Even if he didn’t, she could make sure he did.

Although Adam Jennings listened with a sullen face, he still responded irritably,

“Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word.”

Scarlett Jennings was immediately pleased, nodded, and walked straight out of Lucas Jennings’s room.

As she left, the two of them vaguely heard her muttering softly,

“I should have said a month directly.”

Adam Jennings: …

“Pfft.” Lucas Jennings couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.

Adam Jennings glared at him with a sullen face, “Lucas, what’s gotten into you? Always siding with this outsider!”

Upon hearing this, Lucas Jennings immediately stiffened his neck, “What outsider?! She’s my cousin and your actual cousin! If you keep saying that, I’ll tell Uncle on you!”

Adam Jennings was almost amused by Lucas Jennings’s ridiculousness.

“Only kids tattle.”

Besides, who was the one who jumped out to target this ‘cousin’ in the first place?

*Had he forgotten what he did himself?*

“Brother Adam, you saw it yourself. My sister genuinely has skills. Don’t go against her anymore. Otherwise, if she really gets mad one day, handling you would be a piece of cake for her.”

Lucas Jennings earnestly tried to persuade him for once.

Adam Jennings inexplicably thought again of the Mystical Sect folks using tricks to summon small ghosts to deal with people, and he felt a chill in his heart. But on the surface, he refused to show any weakness.

“She, she dares! I’ll tell Uncle on her!”

Lucas Jennings: …

*Who just said that only kids tattle?*

Adam Jennings couldn’t be bothered to say much more to Lucas Jennings. He turned his head and walked out, returning to his own room.

Upstairs, when Scarlett Jennings returned to her room, she immediately saw the little baby spirit floating around inside, looking like a small ginseng doll kicking its tiny legs randomly.

The baby spirit had lost its resentful energy, appearing like a chubby little ginseng, with its two small legs kicking while it floated, looking utterly adorable.

Several times, it tried to kick and float toward the window, only to be bounced back by the Barrier Scarlett Jennings had set in the room.

Though it no longer held any resentment, the baby spirit instinctively wanted to find its mother.

The little fox, perhaps finding it amusing, swung its plump round tail and chased after the baby spirit. Upon seeing it bounced back, it attempted to nip at it with its mouth.

This scared the baby spirit, making it quickly float high into the air.

Upon seeing Scarlett Jennings’s return, it kicked its short legs and floated onto her shoulder, as if it were exhausted, panting heavily.

Although their contact had not been long, it clearly knew this human would not harm it.

Moreover, as long as it stayed on her shoulder, the little fox wouldn’t dare to nip it again.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the palm-sized little chubby carrot on her shoulder, her brows and eyes softening slightly.

But she still educated it,

“Don’t run around recklessly. If you behave and listen, I’ll take you to see your mom before sending you off for reincarnation.”

The little chubby carrot seemed to understand her words, kicking its tiny hands as if wanting to hug her.

Scarlett Jennings ignored it.

She walked to the desk and examined her master’s piece of millennium-old Thunderstruck Wood carefully.

The Thunderstruck Wood was charred, its branches and body scorched by lightning, covered in ravine-like patterns.

Scarlett Jennings had previously asked her master why she didn’t make her Thunderstruck Wood into a Magic Artifact.

Her master had said, “This piece of Thunderstruck Wood was originally found for you. However, it’s not time for you to have it yet. Once you free yourself from the Fate Chart constraints of the Garrison Family, then you can make this into whatever Magic Artifact you desire.”

The Garrison Family had raised her for eighteen years, using her Fate Chart to shield Isolde Garrison from calamities. The entanglement of fate lines was not something that could be easily unraveled.

So, she could only sever her connection with the Garrison Family step by step.

Enduring a major car accident for Isolde Garrison was repaying a favor.

Repaying the Garrison Family for eighteen years of upbringing costs was settling debts.

Officially ending her relationship with the Garrison Family was severing ties.

Now that the favor and debt were settled, just as her master had said, she obtained the Thunderstruck Wood prepared for her.

Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment, then took out a vermilion brush to sketch the desired shape on the wooden branch.

Creating a Magic Artifact was not a simple task.

The runes on the Magic Artifact had to follow the course of the lightning patterns. The engraving of the runes, the polishing, and consecrating all required the consumption of Spiritual Power and couldn’t be accomplished overnight.

Scarlett Jennings looked again at her rudimentary desk.

After pondering for a moment, she decided to transfer her tools from the rental place. The Jennings Family villa had no shortage of rooms, especially considering that her current room was a suite.

Originally, it was designed to facilitate child care by a nanny, and there was even a bed outside, which was later moved but primarily used for storing toys.

Scarlett Jennings initially had not planned to stay long, but now that she had decided to stay, necessary additions were required.

However, there was no rush for these things.

After organizing her things, Scarlett Jennings ordered some items on the Spirit Network before going to sleep with the little fox and baby carrot.

The next day, she went downstairs.

Even though it was still a holiday, the Jennings Family did not have the habit of letting their children sleep in.

As soon as Scarlett Jennings went downstairs, she saw Adam Jennings sitting next to Azura Loomis, talking about something. When he caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly fell silent.

Chase Jennings, sitting beside them, felt puzzled. Following his gaze to the staircase, upon seeing Scarlett Jennings, did not show obvious animosity, but merely nodded coolly before shifting his gaze.

It was Azura Loomis who approached her, smiling,

“Scarlett, I heard that it was you who took people to the teaching building to save me that day. I never got the chance to thank you. Today, since you’re home, why don’t I cook lunch as a token of gratitude? What would you like to eat?”

Scarlett Jennings raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at Azura Loomis and her “protectors,” and responded lightly, “No need.”

Azura Loomis’s face fell at the words, but she insisted, “Don’t be formal with me. I learned to cook. Though not at a master level, it’s still edible. Tell me what you’d like…”

“I said there’s no need,” Scarlett Jennings interrupted her, her expression still indifferent.

Azura Loomis’s voice was slightly hoarse, but before she could speak again, both Chase Jennings and Adam Jennings simultaneously wore displeased expressions.

Especially Chase Jennings, who was particularly unhappy, “Scarlett Jennings, Azura was only trying to thank you by offering to cook. What kind of attitude is that?”

Adam Jennings also wanted to voice his criticism but was startled when Scarlett Jennings’s almond-shaped eyes quietly swept over him.

His heart sank, and he swallowed the words back, keeping his lips tightly shut.
