Xia Xiashan opened with a zero-frame barrage of verbal fire.
Xia Yiwei’s face instantly turned red from what she said.
Being called out like that, with no way to argue back, felt freaking awful!
Xia Yiwei stomped her slender legs hard against the floor twice.
Puffing up in anger, she said,
“And you still say you didn’t come here to make fun of me!”
“Hmph. Fill me up before slaughtering me, huh?”
“Fine, go ahead and laugh yourself to death. I just didn’t know what else to do, so I came up with such a stupid idea!”
“You’re so amazing, okay? If you’re so amazing, then do you have a better solution?”
“Seriously, I’m done with you. Do you have some kind of disease where you’ll die if you don’t make fun of me?”
Xia Yiwei really wanted to kick her sister out right then and there.
Only the instant noodles and ham sausages kept her from doing it.
Xia Xiashan paid no attention to her sister venting.
She merely said calmly,
“I actually do.”
Xia Yiwei froze.
“Huh?”
“You’re actually shameless enough to admit it?”
Xia Xiashan shot Weiwei an annoyed look and continued,
“I mean, I really do have a way to help you.”
Xia Yiwei froze again, her mouth slightly open as she blinked.
Judging by her sister’s expression, she clearly wasn’t joking.
Besides, she wasn’t exactly someone blessed with a sense of humor.
And—
Whenever she claimed she could do something, she always had a way to make it happen.
Xia Yiwei hurriedly pulled over an empty chair and scooted right up beside her sister.
The angry look on her face vanished completely.
In its place was a calculating, ingratiating smile.
“Hehe, Sis, you really have a solution?”
“Was I talking a little too loudly just now?”
“I’ve believed in you ever since we were kids. I know you’ve got the most rotten—”
“—the most brilliant ideas!”
“Come on, tell me. Not eating day after day isn’t exactly sustainable, right?”
“Hehehe...”
Xia Yiwei clutched her sister’s arm tightly, as though she had seized a lifeline.
Xia Xiashan frowned and pulled her arm free.
She wasn’t used to such intimate gestures.
“I preferred the way you were acting all proud and defiant just now. Go back to that.”
Xia Yiwei promptly sat up straight.
Her expression became that of a student listening attentively in class,
waiting for the teacher’s next instruction.
Only then did Xia Xiashan speak.
“It isn’t actually difficult. It just requires Lin Yu’s cooperation.”
Screeech—
The moment Lin Yu’s name came up,
the sound of a chair scraping across the floor immediately rang out.
Xia Yiwei moved with lightning speed, dragging her chair away to put some distance between herself and her sister.
“Sis, I know you mean well.”
“And you may have thought of some good plan, but I don’t want to drag Little Linyu into this again.”
“I was the one who asked him for help in the first place. He’s already done more than enough for me.”
“Little Linyu even took the initiative to help me teach that bastard Lei Siren a lesson.”
“That beating was so satisfying—and such a relief!”
“Even if I starve to death, I’m not dragging him into this again.”
Xia Yiwei sounded utterly serious, without the slightest hint of a joke.
If her sister’s plan was something she could accomplish through her own efforts,
then she would certainly give it a try.
Her sister’s reaction did not surprise Xia Xiashan in the least.
She had always been like this since childhood.
Always getting into trouble, yet when trouble came knocking, she would shoulder it alone.
Even so,
Xia Xiashan continued,
“Whether you do it or not is up to you. I won’t say anything to Lin Yu.”
“If you think it’s workable, then you can go talk to him yourself.”
“Dad’s actually pretty easy to win over. All it takes is a drink or two.”
“Speaking of drinking…”
“Isn’t Lin Yu a pretty heavy drinker?”
At that—
A gleam lit up Xia Yiwei’s eyes…
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...
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
