Don’t underestimate what missing just two meals can do.
Xia Yiwei was starving.
But she had already made her stance clear—how could she back down so easily?
If she gave in, it would only end up hurting Little Linyu.
She hadn’t expected that, in her moment of “crisis,” Xia Xiashan would be the one to lend her a hand.
“You actually came to help me?”
“Don’t you usually love watching me make a fool of myself?”
That was what Xia Yiwei said, but she still obediently stepped farther back to make room for her sister to come in.
Xia Xiashan stuffed the food into her younger sister’s hands and shook her head helplessly.
“That’s just what you think. I’ve never seen it that way.”
“The noodles should be ready by now. Eat first. We can talk while you eat.”
Xia Xiashan closed the door behind her, making sure no one saw her enter.
Still trying to act tough, Xia Yiwei asked,
“You brought this in... so does that mean the old man—”
Xia Xiashan knew what her sister wanted to ask.
Nothing more than whether their father knew about this.
If he did, then with her sister’s temperament, she would probably grit her teeth and refuse to eat anyway.
She had been like that since childhood. She always seemed easygoing enough on the surface.
But whenever it came to something she had set her mind on, no one could talk her out of it.
Her decision to become a nurse had been exactly the same.
With the Xia family’s wealth and influence,
Weiwei should have had far more—and far better—options.
“Don’t worry. Dad doesn’t know.”
“If he did, do you think he’d send you instant noodles?”
“That man may seem stubborn and tough on the outside,”
“but you know as well as I do that you’re the one he dotes on most.”
As she spoke, Xia Xiashan took a seat in the chair.
She hadn’t come merely to drop off a meal and leave.
Things had reached this point.
They needed a proper solution.
Weiwei’s hunger strike had only managed to suppress their father’s anger for the time being.
Once his temper cooled, he would still go after Lin Yu.
What kind of person was he?
Just look at what had happened to Lei Siren two days ago.
When it came to family matters, he had never been one to let things slide.
Of course,
all of that would have to wait until the person in front of her finished wolfing down her food.
Before she was done eating, she probably wouldn’t listen to a single word Xia Xiashan had to say.
...
“Slurp... slurp, slurp...”
In all her life, Xia Yiwei had never thought instant noodles with a sausage could taste this good.
In barely three or four minutes,
there was nothing left in the paper cup but broth and a few scraps of noodles.
Still wanting more, Xia Yiwei gulped down a couple more mouthfuls before finally pulling out a tissue and wiping her mouth in satisfaction.
“Sis, there’s one thing you got wrong...”
“The person who loves me most in this family isn’t Dad. It’s you!”
“Thank you, my wonderful sister, for pulling me out of trouble when I was down.”
“From now on, if you ever run into any trouble, I’ll be the first one there.”
“Want me to swear an oath?”
The moment Xia Yiwei had been fed, she immediately showed her true colors.
Not a single serious word came out of her mouth.
Xia Xiashan quickly raised a hand, signaling for her to stop.
“Cut the pointless nonsense. You know I don’t want to hear it.”
“Get to the important part. You don’t want Dad finding out that I came to see you, do you?”
“Talk while he still hasn’t noticed.”
Xia Yiwei: “...”
It was precisely because she didn’t want to discuss the important part
that she had deliberately tried to joke her way around it.
“The important part...”
“I’m still thinking about how to deal with it!”
Xia Xiashan mercilessly exposed her:
“You call that thinking? You simply have no idea how to get yourself out of this.”
“You never think about the consequences before acting. You’ve been like this all these years.”
“You think I don’t really know you?”
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?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
