Chapter 85
Chattering non-stop along the way, Pei Susu kept talking one sentence after another, making Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows twitch.
She originally wanted to ignore this annoying fly, but this girl's overly dramatic, manipulative little act was getting more outrageous by the second. She was practically pointing at Ye Zhenzhen's nose and telling her to step aside!
Arriving at the gate of Pei Susu's residential community, Ye Zhenzhen stopped in her tracks. Her expression was utterly indifferent, and an aloof, ethereal aura rose in her cold eyes.
Parting her pink lips, she said in a flat tone, "We're at your place. Aren't you going to leave?"
"Oh my, is Sister actually trying to chase me away? Fine, fine, you must be tired of me. If Brother is sick of me, he can just say so directly. There's no need to have someone else pass the message."
Turning her head to glance at the girl, Pei Susu continued to cling to Gu Ran, tirelessly provoking her best friend.
She wanted to see just how long this girl Ye Zhenzhen could hold it in before declaring her sovereignty.
Always going on about their deep sister-brother bond, who was she trying to comfort?
Anyone with eyes could see her possessiveness!
She wouldn't even let her say a word to Gu Ran, so she was going to do it on purpose!
She wasn't his wife, just a step-sister. What gave her the right to be so controlling?
Unless she admitted that her intentions weren't pure!
The flames of gossip sparked in Pei Susu's almond eyes. Gossiping about her own best friend greatly piqued her interest.
Looking at the petite girl in front of him, Gu Ran's mouth twitched, not daring to chime in.
He had previously been warned by his aloof sister to stay away from restless, bad women.
He could guess with the back of his head who this bad woman was.
The manipulative master... ah no, Master Pei Susu, without a doubt.
Seeing her hand grab Gu Ran's sleeve, Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows twitched, and her small fists subconsciously clenched.
"Pei Susu!"
Glaring at her in embarrassment and anger, the aloof girl felt a bit speechless inside.
She didn't know what had gotten into this girl. Ever since they came back from ice skating last time, she had started calling him "Brother Gu Ran" this and "Brother Gu Ran" that every day without getting tired of it.
If she didn't piss her off a few times every night, it was like she couldn't sleep when she got home!
"Ah, Sister is so loud, you scared me."
Pei Susu pretentiously touched her flat chest, then looked at Gu Ran coquettishly and said pitifully, "My heart is beating so fast, can Brother help me pat it?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
Gu Ran: "..."
Unlike the shocked girl, Gu Ran raised an eyebrow, unable to see where there was anything to pat.
He couldn't help but think of a phrase: Pair of A's, pass...
"Where are you looking, you pervert!"
Not knowing what he was thinking, Ye Zhenzhen saw his eyes linger on the girl's chest, and she immediately glared at her worthless brother in anger.
Sticking out her small foot, she kicked Gu Ran's calf, then pulled him behind her. Puffing out her own generous assets, she stepped in front of Pei Susu and said speechlessly, "Hurry up and go home, stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Pei Susu: "???"
Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's chest and then looking down at her own, she immediately pursed her lips.
How was she embarrassing herself?
Explain clearly!
So what if she was small!
She was saving fabric for the country, and she was proud of it!
Puffing her cheeks, she glared angrily, and spat out in humiliation, "Cow!"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
That one word made the aloof girl's cheeks flush red. She was completely helpless against this outspoken best friend.
She subconsciously looked back at Gu Ran.
Seeing her turn her head, the obedient boy who had been stretching his ears to listen quickly looked up at the sky, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, then forcefully pushed the girl in front of her toward the community gate.
"Hurry up and go home, why do you have so much to say!"
Being pushed through the gate, Pei Susu curled her lip and muttered, "The possessiveness of a perverted sister..."
Her voice was very quiet, but the girl still heard it.
Her slender eyebrows immediately shot up, and she spat, "Bull... bullshit!"
Not bothering to argue with her, Pei Susu lifted her chin and said, "You know perfectly well if it's true or not!"
After saying that, she poked her head out to look at Gu Ran standing behind, waved her hand, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Goodbye, Brother Gu Ran~"
Hearing this, Gu Ran blinked, feeling a burst of comfort in his heart. He quickly waved back to say goodbye. Even though he saw his aloof sister glaring at him, he kept waving.
It definitely wasn't because Pei Susu called him "Brother" so sweetly, but because he felt one should be polite.
When someone says goodbye to you, you have to respond no matter what.
Yes, that was it!
"Let's go!"
Rolling her eyes at Pei Susu, Ye Zhenzhen turned and walked away, grabbing the still somewhat reluctant boy and heading towards home.
On the way, she occasionally turned her head to look at the boy beside her, seriously pondering why she had gotten angry just now.
Was it really the possessiveness of a perverted sister?
She blinked her eyes, not believing that she was actually that perverted.
Feeling a bit conflicted in her heart, she annoyedly stuck out her small foot and kicked the boy.
Suddenly attacked, Gu Ran looked completely bewildered and asked in surprise, "What was that for?"
"Hmph, that's for making me mad!"
The girl snorted softly and said coquettishly. Her tone sounded like she was acting spoiled, leaving him thoroughly confused.
Wait, don't think you can just kick people as you please just because you're acting cute, unless you step on me!
"Idiot, what are you standing around for? Let's go!"
Rolling her eyes at the boy standing frozen in place, she put her hands behind her back and took the lead walking forward.
She wasn't some perverted sister, nor did she have any possessiveness over her brother. It was purely an elder's concern, fearing that her worthless brother would be seduced by a bad woman.
Yes, that was it. She accepted no rebuttals!
...
Braving the heavy snow to get home, Gu Ran felt a chill pierce to his bones.
He didn't tend to himself first; instead, he started brushing off the snowflakes that had fallen on the girl's clothes.
Then he reached out and carefully brushed the white snow from her black hair.
Shrinking her neck, Ye Zhenzhen enjoyed her brother's service, comfortably narrowing her eyes.
If this considerate brother got snatched away by a bad woman, where would she go to enjoy this in the future? It wasn't some weird possessiveness; she just wanted to enjoy it for a couple more years... bah, she was just training an excellent husband for her future sister-in-law!
Comforting herself in her heart once again, she enjoyed her brother's service with peace of mind while stomping her small feet to shake the snow off her shoes.
"All done."
Having cleaned off the snow on the girl, Gu Ran spoke softly, and only then did he start brushing himself off.
Unlike his gentle movements just now, when he brushed the snow off his own body, his actions were quite rough and not nearly as meticulous. He didn't care at all if he missed a spot.
Walking into the house first, Ye Zhenzhen set out his slippers for him. Then, imitating Pei Susu's mannerisms, she said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Thank you, Brother Gu Ran. Brother is so good to me~"
Gu Ran: "!!!"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
