"What? Jiang Che... and Little Jie, Bai Jie, are... biological sisters?"
Bai Qiangwei was utterly shocked upon seeing the paternity test report handed over by Jiang Che.
Bai Jie, too, was puzzled. How did she suddenly gain a sister out of nowhere?
"Yes, Qiangwei, as my woman, I naturally need to take responsibility for your background," Jiang Che said with a soft smile, gently patting Qiangwei's head. He had a certain fondness for this young girl.
"If you wish to go to the Bai family to acknowledge your ancestry, I won't stop you. After all, you're not my caged canary." Jiang Che gently smoothed out the young girl's long hair, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Qiangwei pondered for a moment, then resolutely shook her head.
"To give birth but not raise is akin to being a thief. Since they didn't raise me... what difference is there between that and not giving birth to me?"
Jiang Che chuckled helplessly, "Perhaps the fault lies not with the Bai family, but with your brother."
He then presented the details of the investigation conducted by Monkey, revealing the sequence of events. This was the truth, not something he fabricated to tarnish Bai Tianhuai's reputation in Qiangwei's eyes.
"These... these were the events that unfolded over the years?" Qiangwei fell silent, her thoughts in disarray.
"Jiang Che, although I share blood ties with the Bai family, they are still largely strangers to me..."
Little Qiangwei tightly pulled on one of Jiang Che's arms.
"Sister..." Bai Jie spoke tentatively, addressing Bai Qiangwei.
Although she and Qiangwei had fought side by side as close companions, the sudden revelation that they were sisters was a strong shock for her.
"Sister... from now on, I'm your sister," Qiangwei replied, also somewhat hesitant.
Of course, Bai Jie was quite delighted. This meant she now had another sister to support her by Jiang Che's side. Just like Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao, their bonds were so strong that they were essentially tied together, both sharing Jiang Che's affection.
Bai Jie, who had once loved humbly, could undoubtedly gain more affection from Jiang Che now that she has a biological sister like Qiangwei. She might even bring Qin Qiaoqiao into her camp in the future...
Bai Jie had many thoughts, which made Jiang Che chuckle. In contrast, her sister Qiangwei didn't harbor such complex feelings, simply happy to have gained a biological sister.
After her brother left... she had more family.
"Alright, alright!"
Jiang Che extended his large hands, holding Bai Jie's little hand with his left and Qiangwei's with his right, then placed both hands together.
"From now on, you're family. You two should communicate more and nurture your sisterly bond."
...
Su Mianmian, who had been napping on the coffee table in the bedroom, was awakened by the commotion and was left dumbfounded.
[This... is this something I can watch? No... my eyes!]
The little ragdoll cat tried to cover her eyes with her tiny paws, but her paws were too small. Even her tail was used to cover her eyes.
[Hmm? Wait... I'm a cat now!]
[I'm a cat... who would know that a human soul resides within me?]
[This grants me immunity, hehehe (perverted laugh)]
Su Mianmian stopped pretending, removed her little paws, and jumped onto the bedside table in one swift motion.
She lay down on the bedside table, enjoying the VIP viewing spot.
......
"Damn it, this Ai Shouying, he really went for the kill? Even my Triple Return Yuan Needle technique didn't work."
Lin Xiaotian was in pain.
During his earlier fight with Ai Shouying, one of his testicles was brutally crushed, rendering him incapable of even being a "leftover egg" man. He was now left with nothing to talk about.
At that moment, a figure cloaked in black approached.
The voice was hoarse.
"Xiaotian, have you found Yu'er?"
Upon seeing it was Zhou Xuemei, Lin Xiaotian quickly hid the needle, not wanting his "egg explosion" incident to reach her ears.
"Xuemei, don't mention that bastard Lin Yu again! This Lin Yu is extremely arrogant, causing chaos after leaving the mountain, even offending the Jiang Family of the capital!"
"Think about it, I, Lin Xiaotian, am a respectable master, the 107th generation head of the Ghost Doctor Sect, a prominent figure in the ancient martial arts world. My entire life's reputation has been ruined by this disciple of mine."
Lin Xiaotian's words sent a chill through Zhou Xuemei's heart.
She had raised Lin Yu as her own child, "Xiaotian, you mean... Xiao Yu has offended the Jiang Family of the capital?"
Lin Xiaotian nodded grimly, "Yes, this disciple of mine, Lin Yu, really believes he's invincible? He dared to injure the young master of the Jiang Family... the grandson of that Grand Master."
Zhou Xuemei's already hoarse voice became shrill, "Then where is Yu'er?"
Lin Xiaotian spread his hands, "I don't know, but his situation is likely dire."
Zhou Xuemei panicked, "I must save Yu'er! He's our disciple, we can't let anything happen to him!"
However, Lin Xiaotian seemed indifferent to Zhou Xuemei's plea.
"Offending the Jiang Family of the capital was Lin Yu's own fault. Let's just act as if we never took him as a disciple."
Lin Xiaotian was decisive. Despite being a master of the late stage, in the face of the Jiang Family, he was insignificant. That Grand Master could knock him out with a single slap.
"Fine... if you won't save him, I will!"
Zhou Xuemei tore off her black cloak, revealing an extremely aged face, with sagging skin and drooping eyelids, as if half her body was already in the coffin.
"You——"
Lin Xiaotian felt a sharp pain in his crotch... well, he no longer had it, but the pain was unbearable.
"You... go ahead, Yu'er is likely in the hands of that Mr. Jiang. I advise you... not to offend that Mr. Jiang, otherwise, there will be no place for us in all of Dragon Country!"
Angrily, Lin Xiaotian flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Leaving Zhou Xuemei alone, dumbfounded.
"Mr. Jiang? Yu'er... I must save you!"
With that, Zhou Xuemei went down the mountain alone.
Shortly after she left, Lin Xiaotian returned.
Watching Zhou Xuemei's retreating figure, he let out a long sigh.
Then, he quietly followed, despite his earlier words and even his act of cutting ties, he couldn't deny that... Lin Yu was still his only disciple.
He couldn't just let him die.
"You little brat, did the old man owe you something in his previous life?"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
wed him to see the innate talent, destiny, and future of those he invested in. The greater the destiny of his target, the richer the rewards he would reap. Then he discovered that the aloof girl next door, his childhood sweetheart, possessed the highest-grade crimson destiny—a future destined to reign supreme as the Empress of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Lately, she seemed troubled, pondering how to unlock her sealed meridians and unleash her talents ahead of time... — — — My name is Ying Bing, one of the Nine Heavenly Sovereigns, titled the Phoenix Empress, reigning invincibly over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. I have been reborn and bound to a Peerless Genius System, where ranking first among my peers grants me rewards. [Would you like to activate the Punishment Mechanism?] [Upon activation, rewards will increase, but after the rankings are announced, you must carry out the "Punishment of the Defeated" on the top-ranked individual.] Ying Bing: "I can’t very well punish myself, can I?" — — — Years later. Ying Bing: "Can’t you let me win just once?" Li Mo: "First, call me 'husband' properly—I didn’t hear it clearly last time."
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
