The Qilin Pavilion had been blown up, sending West Street into an uproar.

Word had it that a formidable figure had appeared in the Capital.

The Qilin Pavilion had ordered all 300 of its assassins out in force across the city, all to hunt down Ye Huo and her companions!

When the Xiao Family heard that the Snake Demon had escaped from a place as dangerous as the Qilin Pavilion, they were thrown into a panic too. They sent out countless trusted aides to search the entire city for her.

But those pieces of trash had overlooked one thing.

Ye Huo's maternal grandfather was a renowned military chief.

Her eldest brother was an important figure in the military, the successor their grandfather had groomed and the future head of the nation's military!

No one dared make trouble on their turf.

Ye Huo called her eldest brother, Ye Mo. "Big brother, I need your help with something."

"Baby sister, what is it? Tell me. Big brother will always have your back."

Ye Mo answered the phone in a deep voice.

With a stern expression and handsome features, he was dressed in a black shirt and suit trousers as he crouched in the garden, feeding the dog.

It was his precious little sister's pet, so as her big brother, he naturally took good care of it.

"Brother, my friend is injured and being hunted by forces from the black streets. She needs somewhere to get treated."

Ye Huo spoke calmly.

Ordinary people might have stayed far away after hearing something like that, afraid of getting dragged into trouble.

But Ye Mo was different.

His love for his little sister ran bone-deep. She was the most important person in the world to him.

Without a second's hesitation, he replied, "Huohuo, your friend is my friend. I'll come pick you up right away."

"Thank you, big brother."

A rush of warmth flashed through Ye Huo's heart.

Her eldest brother hadn't asked what she had been doing all those years away, nor had he worried about being dragged down by her.

Simply because she was his sister, he could cast reason aside and protect her for his entire life.

"We're family. No more formalities."

After hanging up, Ye Mo ordered his assistant, Yun Xiu, to bring his personal car around.

It was a first-class luxury sedan with military plates.

It was generally only brought out for major conferences.

Ye Mo had always kept a low profile, but this time, for his little sister's sake, he would make a show of it.

His assistant, Yun Xiu, soon drove over to pick up Major General Ye Mo.

Ye Mo arrived at the appointed place.

The moment he got out of the car, he saw his sister holding a woman covered in blood.

The woman was far too thin.

She hadn't uttered a single cry of pain, and the aloof pride in her eyes tugged at the heart.

Ye Mo shielded his sister as she got into the car first, then bent down and carried the woman inside.

The driver eased the car into motion and headed for the white sanatorium.

The people recuperating there were all family members of military figures with considerable influence. No one dared come in and search the place.

The afternoon sun poured onto the road.

The car sped to the sanatorium, a beautiful place with high walls and white buildings.

Dense trees lined the paths in the grounds, including firs and parasol trees, and there was also a small artificial lake.

Ye Mo swiped his ID card and went inside.

Doctors quickly carried the woman, who had been beaten and severely injured, into the hospital to bandage and treat her wounds.

Fortunately, she only had fractures. A hundred days of rest would see her well again.

"Huohuo, don't worry. Big brother will protect you and your friend."

Ye Mo's gaze was deep.

He had heard that the Qilin Pavilion, the greatest force on West Street, had sent all its people out today.

And just then, his sister had brought an injured woman to him.

That could only mean his own little sister was responsible for the commotion at the Qilin Pavilion that morning.

Still, his sister had done the right thing. She must have had a reason.

Ye Mo trusted his precious little sister unconditionally.

Ye Huo's heart trembled.

Only family would help her without hesitation, without asking why or caring about her identity.

Ye Huo calmly gave her reason for saving her. "Big brother, the Snake Demon is my partner. I had to save her!"

"You don't need to explain, precious Huohuo. I've never blamed you!"

Ye Mo could tell his sister was a loyal girl.

With an indulgent look, he reached out and stroked her hair, then declared with absolute authority, "Actually, if you wanted to save someone, you didn't have to go to all that trouble and offend Qilin Hall. You only had to tell me, and I could have sent people straight in to search and rescue her!"

Wow!

So her family really was that badass.

Ye Huo had truly underestimated her grandfather and eldest brother's influence in the military.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled proudly. "Got it, big brother. Next time something happens, I'll ask you for help!"

"That's more like it."

Ye Mo was tall and slender, a head taller than Ye Huo.

The bond of blood and family held them close.

He gazed at her dotingly, like an elder looking at a child. A wave of fear rose in his heart at what might have happened, and he said, "Precious Huohuo, don't do anything so dangerous again! Even if you have to, let me know beforehand, so I can look out for you.

"You're my only precious little sister, and the whole family treasures and protects you. If anything happened to you, how could I go on living?"

"Got it, big brother!"

Ye Huo's eyes were full of astonishment.

This God of War, who was cold and taciturn in the eyes of outsiders, would probably only speak such caring words like an elder when facing her!

Ye Huo took her brother's hand and smiled.

His precious little sister was the treasure dearest to Ye Mo's heart. When she smiled at him with her little face beautiful enough to topple cities and kingdoms, his heart melted.

He couldn't bear to blame her in the slightest anymore.

Their family had only this one little girl in eight generations. What else could he do?

No matter how much trouble she caused, he, as her big brother, would still spoil her.

Ye Mo used his connections to settle the matter with Qilin Hall.

He helped the Snake Demon complete the admission procedures and left her at a high-end hospital to recover from her injuries.

Then he took his sister to the supermarket, where they bought a huge pile of daily necessities for the Snake Demon.

Gratitude filled the Snake Demon's eyes. "Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Focus on getting better. You're my sister's friend, so you're my friend too. We won't treat you poorly."

Ye Mo's expression was serious, and his magnetic voice was full of reassurance.

Once everything was taken care of, he drove his sister home.

The Ye household had erupted into chaos.

Their parents had heard on the news that Qilin Hall, the greatest force on West Street, had been destroyed.

The incident had shocked both the underworld and the legitimate world.

Qilin Hall had put a bounty of tens of millions on the mastermind's life!

The Capital wasn't particularly safe that day.

Their mother, Jian Yan, was especially worried about her precious daughter's safety.

She had made over a hundred calls in a row and couldn't sit still.

Their father was so worried that his eyelids kept twitching too.

If anything happened to his precious girl, then he would have lived his life as a father in vain.

Just as the whole family was ready to rush out together to look for Ye Huo, Ye Mo drove back in a luxury car with his sister, as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, Dad, we're back."

Ye Mo drove into the garage, took his sister's hand as they got out, and greeted their parents calmly.

Their parents looked straight past their eldest son. Only when they saw their daughter did their anxious hearts finally settle.

Jian Yan hurried over, grabbed her daughter's hand, and said dotingly, "My precious girl, where did you go? Mom was worried sick!"

"Mom, I went shopping with big brother."

Ye Huo spoke very calmly.

Her mother looked at her daughter's unruffled expression.

She could never have imagined that the person standing before her was the queen of the world mercenary rankings-Lady Ye Huo.

As long as her daughter was safe,

her mother could rest easy.

"Precious Huohuo, your dad made spicy crayfish. Come on, let's go inside and eat!"

All smiles, Jian Yan led her precious daughter into the villa.

Dad had put up a swing and a set of white tables and chairs beneath a cherry blossom tree in the garden.

He carried the spicy crayfish, chilled watermelon, honey peaches, and strawberry mousse cake out to the white table in the garden, one dish at a time.

"Precious Huohuo, come have a taste. These are Dad's new cooking skills! Give me your opinion so I can learn and improve!"

Ye Chuan smiled dotingly.

His attitude toward his precious daughter was one of immense satisfaction and affection.

It was no exaggeration to say that his precious daughter was the pearl in his palm.

He wanted to give her the best care and affection, so she could grow up happily under her father's protection all her life.

The setting sun shone on the brilliant garden.

Mom and Ye Huo sat in the white chairs, eating crayfish and drinking watermelon juice.

Dad and their eldest brother peeled the shells nearby.

All the red, spicy crayfish meat went into Ye Huo's stomach.

Dad peeled crayfish for Mom, while her eldest brother peeled them for Huohuo.

Mother and daughter ate and whispered together, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Wow, it smells amazing."

Ye Huo ate the crayfish and gave her father a thumbs-up.

"Haha, as long as precious Huohuo likes it, Daddy will make it for you every day."

Dad grinned.

Smiling, Mom took a photo of herself and her daughter eating crayfish and posted it in the family group chat, drawing a wave of envy.

Especially from their second brother, Ye Chen, who was away on a business trip, and Film Emperor Ye Fan, who was filming with a crew.

The two were terribly envious and both declared that they wanted to come home to peel crayfish for their sister and play with her on the swing.

Dad, Ye Chuan, replied with a very proud emoji. "Get lost, both of you. Huohuo is the pearl in Daddy's palm. You're not allowed to fight me for her!"

"Dad, you can't be the only daughter slave. We want to be sister slaves too!"

Ye Chen and Ye Fan sent messages at the same time.

Grandfather was the fairest of them all.

He was in his study wearing his reading glasses when he saw the fierce argument in the family group chat.

One said he would make the best roast duck for precious Huohuo!

One said he would buy the best dresses for his precious little sister!

One said he would give his precious little sister the finest jewelry!

The old man chuckled and chimed in, "Everyone in the family, listen up. Huohuo is precious to all of us. You must protect her and not let my granddaughter suffer the slightest grievance!"

"Yes, understood, Dad."

"Yes, understood, Grandpa."

"Yes, understood, Grandpa."

The family members in the group immediately chimed in as one.

As Ye Huo ate her crayfish and drank her watermelon juice, she looked at the messages in the group and nearly burst out laughing.

She had actually become the treasure at the top of the family food chain. Wasn't she spoiled a little too much?!
