The meal was quickly finished.
After breakfast, Gu Luo initially wanted to wash the dishes, but Lu Xuexue stopped him.
It didn’t make sense to let a guest handle the chores.
But the girl was stubborn, and in the end, Gu Luo had no choice but to watch as Lu Xuexue and Luo Shuning chatted while cleaning up the dishes.
Clearly, because Lu Xuexue had woken Luo Shuning earlier, the two were already getting along well.
Gu Luo mentally gave Xuexue a big thumbs-up.
Though he wanted to teach Shuning a lesson, he didn’t want to go too far—hence the so-called "forgiveness progress bar" he’d proposed.
Xuexue’s arrival was perfectly timed, serving as a lubricant to help the four of them adjust to each other in the future.
Plus, they could all play games together in the evening.
A true case of killing three birds with one stone.
Today’s MVP award definitely went to Lu Xuexue.
And so, Gu Ximan followed Gu Luo to his room, Lu Xuexue and Luo Shuning handled the dishes, while Luo Shuling remained sprawled lazily on the sofa, happily munching on cucumber-flavored chips and watching a soap opera.
"Hahaha… hahaha…"
Luo Shuling laughed uncontrollably at a funny scene.
Just then, Luo Shuhe, wearing a spaghetti-strap nightgown, walked over expressionlessly and sat beside her.
"Haha… Shuhe, want some?"
Tears of laughter still in her eyes, Luo Shuling shook the half-empty chip bag at her.
Luo Shuhe didn’t take any. She just watched the show—which she found utterly mindless—for a moment before saying flatly,
"Why do you like watching such brainless soap operas?"
Hearing this, Luo Shuling swallowed her carefully chewed chip and grinned. "Brainless is good. No thinking required. I even read Yángshìzi’s novels before bed."
"Oh."
Luo Shuhe nodded, then asked in the same tone as if inquiring about the weather,
"Ximan and Gu Luo aren’t related by blood, right?"
"Yep."
Luo Shuling replied just as casually before bursting into laughter again at another funny scene.
The question might as well have been about the weather for her too.
Hearing this confirmation, the last shred of hope in Luo Shuhe’s heart vanished instantly.
So it was true.
Just as she’d thought.
Shuling’s ideas might be wild, but they weren’t completely baseless.
Now everything made sense.
As a girl herself, Luo Shuhe could see clearly who had feelings for Gu Luo.
Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains—no matter how improbable—must be the truth.
After a moment of silence, she exhaled softly.
"Shuling, can you not play with fire?"
"Crunch, crunch."
The only response was the sound of chips being eaten.
Luo Shuhe felt a growing frustration. Compared to before, Gu Luo had clearly changed—he might actually consider taking in Gu Ximan and Lu Xuexue.
If it ever came to that, their mother, Gu’s father, and Lu Xuexue’s parents would surely lose their minds.
No parents would accept such a situation.
Gu Luo would probably be beaten to death.
Both families would be thrown into chaos.
Luo Shuhe couldn’t bear the thought of that scene and immediately urged, "Shuling, you’ll ruin Gu Luo."
"Crunch, crunch."
"You’ll destroy both families."
"Crunch, crunch."
"Can you take responsibility for that?"
"Crunch, crunch."
"......"
Seeing that Luo Shuling had no intention of engaging, Luo Shuhe gave up wasting her breath. She stood slowly and, before leaving, dropped one final line—
"Shuning and I won’t agree to this."
Even if Shuning was weak, they’d have to team up now.
With that, she headed straight for Gu Luo’s room.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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?!
