The wind swept across the Gobi Desert, but it could not carry away those tragic cries.
“Hee... heehee...”
Ye Xiaoxi stood at a slightly elevated spot, tilting her head as she listened to the painful screams carried on the wind. A villainous smile spread across her face.
“Heh...”
The corners of her lips slowly curled into an almost perverse arc.
Endure... Just endure...
But how could she possibly hold back when something was this hilarious?
“Hehe... hahahahahahaha!”
Ye Xiaoxi could no longer contain the joy in her heart. Covering her cheek with one hand, she threw her head back and laughed wildly, her laughter unrestrained and delirious.
“Such a brilliant scheme! Who could possibly stop it?”
“Who?!”
“Today, this bunch of pedophiles will be humiliated and raped by these desert sand monkeys!”
“Kehehehehehehe!”
Ye Xiaoxi planted both hands on her hips, laughing with great delight.
Inside the ring, Danxia watched her act like a classic villain. Her body trembled slightly, and she muttered inwardly, “My silly daughter couldn’t have been possessed by Shu’er, could she?”
“Even her laughter sounds so similar.”
“Hee!”
Ye Xiaoxi’s large, dark, perfectly round eyes gleamed as she laughed. “Mother, was Xiaoxi impressive? I didn’t even have to lift a finger, and I’ve already crushed this bunch of people!”
“This is what it means to defeat the enemy without fighting!”
“This is what it means to use your brain!”
Danxia was nearly rendered speechless by this little menace. For a moment, she did not know what to say. If she praised the girl, the little one’s tail would already be sticking into the heavens. But if she refused, she could not bear to dampen that proud little expression. After thinking it over, she decided to remain silent.
Danxia’s silence did not bother Ye Xiaoxi in the slightest.
She leaped down from the boulder, dusted off her hands, and swaggered toward the cavern.
“It should be about time.”
“It’s time to see how those fellows are doing. Sand monkeys that are especially fond of male creatures are sure to have given them a truly unforgettable surprise, eh?”
“Kehehehe...”
Driven by morbid curiosity, Ye Xiaoxi crept into the cavern, feeling her way along the passage toward the main chamber where Mo Xian and the others were.
The commotion inside had already ceased.
The sand monkeys had probably had their fill of fun.
Ye Xiaoxi pressed herself against the stone wall and cautiously peeked out with her little head. She had planned to secretly record this historic moment with an image-recording stone:
The first beautiful girl in history, Ye Xiaoxi, outsmarting the evil mastermind and winning her first battle!
The instant she poked her head out, she saw something she would never forget.
Yellow, white, and red fluids were splattered all over the floor and walls. Several sand monkeys sat there, panting heavily, while the Mo clan members lay sprawled on the ground, utterly devoid of hope. Their faces were ashen, and blood slowly trickled down between their legs.
The worst-off was naturally Mo Xian.
As the one with the highest cultivation, he had also been the most durable, and thus had received the most thorough “attention.” The lifeless look in his eyes alone made it clear exactly what he had endured.
“Ugh... disgusting...”
Ye Xiaoxi knitted her brows and shuddered slightly.
She had never expected the scene to be so horrifying and grotesque—truly too obscene to look at.
If Mother found out about this, her bottom would definitely be swollen again.
“Time to get out of here.”
Ye Xiaoxi abandoned all thoughts of recording the scene. She turned around and tiptoed out of the passage, while speaking with Danxia in her heart. “Mother, I’ve done something meritorious, so when we get home, you’re not allowed to tell my other mother!”
“That depends on my mood,” Danxia replied. “Someone’s manners are simply too atrocious. If she isn’t disciplined a little, she’ll be completely out of control.”
“Oh, my wonderful mother.”
Hearing that Danxia intended to tell, Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly pleaded, “Xiaoxi was wrong! But I only did it to deal with the bad guys! Mother is so kind, and loves Xiaoxi so much. You definitely won’t tell on me, right? Right? Please, please~”
“You little rascal...”
Seeing her fawn and act cute, Danxia could not help laughing. “Then you’re not allowed to use filthy language anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame Mother for what happens next.”
“Okay, okay, okay! My wonderful mother, I’ll do whatever you say.”
Ye Xiaoxi readily agreed.
“As long as you don’t tell...”
The two were still talking when—
Bang!
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly walked straight into something. She covered her forehead and looked up, only to see a figure standing before her like an iron tower. He wore robes identical to those of the Mo clan members she had just seen, and he was staring down at her with a dark expression.
“Clown, what are you meddling in here?”

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
