Thinking of this, the butler clenched his fists.
Looks like this matter needs to be reported to the old master and the master...
After the butler left, Xue Feimo rubbed his temples uncomfortably.
He hadn't failed to notice that his condition was rapidly deteriorating.
But even the specially-made sleeping pills couldn't ease his illness—so what else could he do?
Just thinking about how a few days ago he was suddenly hit by an uncontrollable wave of sleepiness, falling into deep sleep without warning...
Xue Feimo narrowed his eyes. "Seems like it's time to haul in the net."
After a bit of thought, he got up from his chair and quickly went downstairs.
"Butler, to the ranch."
The butler was on the phone reporting the situation. Hearing the young master's voice, he hurriedly hung up.
"Yes, sir. I'll arrange it right away." The butler nodded and rushed out.
Out of Xue Feimo's sight, the butler's eyes were full of excitement.
Just now, orders had come down from the old master—all but threatening—telling him he had absolutely to run an experiment.
To see if the young master's sudden "good sleep" a few days ago was thanks to the girl, or something else altogether.
He hadn't even had time to set it up, and the young master had already created the opportunity.

They found Luo Tiantian half an hour later.
At that moment, Luo Tiantian was squatting in a corner, glaring furiously at those tense, ready-to-act ranch hands.
Both hungry and sleepy, she was so pissed off her teeth hurt.
Since yesterday morning, Luo Tiantian hadn't eaten a proper meal.
Those fruits weren't filling her up in the slightest anymore.
Eating them only made her hungrier faster and forced her to run to the bathroom over and over.
So, she really didn't want any more fruit at all.
"It's just a few chickens, ducks, fish or whatever! I'll pay for them if that's the issue—why are they acting like I'm some kind of wolf? So stingy."
Eyeing the ranch hands still keeping their distance and staring at her, Luo Tiantian muttered under her breath.
Then she thought about how she'd already stayed here for five or six days, and sighed, "Forget it, looks like I can't stay here anymore. I'd better figure out a way to leave!"
After mumbling, Luo Tiantian stood up and brushed off the grass from her clothes.
Turning around, she came face-to-face with a pair of blood-red, eerie eyes.
"Ah!!! Ghost!!!"
Luo Tiantian was so startled she fell right back down to the ground.
As she took in the situation in front of her, she looked completely baffled.
"Boss, what are you doing here?" Luo Tiantian asked, dumbstruck.
Turns out, those eyes she'd just run into belonged to Xue Feimo???
At that moment, Xue Feimo was bent over, looking at her with a half-smile, half-smirk.
The look on his face seemed like he was plotting something sinister.
"You... what are you up to?" Luo Tiantian stared at him warily.
A strong wave of sleepiness crashed over Xue Feimo, and his gaze flickered.
He looked at Luo Tiantian with an inscrutable expression. "Was it tasty?"
"..." Luo Tiantian's eyes flashed with guilt. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Xue Feimo saw her act like she was innocent, but didn't get angry.
He held back the crushing urge to sleep, casually asking, "Really want to stay?"
At those words, Luo Tiantian's eyes brightened.
She nodded enthusiastically: "Yeah, yeah~"
"Then come with me!"
With that, he turned and got into a large SUV.
Hearing she could stay, Luo Tiantian was absolutely over the moon.
She hurried after him, skipping along.
"..." Xue Feimo raised his brows, taking in the little one's changing expressions.
What exactly does this girl want?
Why is she so desperate to stay close to him?
Once he got in the car, Xue Feimo leaned back against the seat, looking utterly exhausted and half asleep.
