The Adopted Sister is Acting Weird (36)

The moment these words were spoken, before Le Xu could even react in shock, Le Xiaowei fainted first.

This little brat—what nonsense was she spouting?

Xie Gantang rushed over in a panic to support Le Xiaowei, while Le Xu swayed slightly, his voice trembling. Still, he forced himself to steady his gaze on Yuan Qiaoqiao.

"What did you say?" Le Xu could barely hear his own voice.

"She wants to marry Xiaowei," Xie Gantang added another stab to Le Xu’s heart.

Le Xu suffered a critical hit—damage over 999+. The doubts he had before suddenly became clear. So, everything was because Yuan Qiaoqiao liked Xiaowei?

He set the dumplings down on the table.

"Xiaowei, what do you think about this?" Le Xu’s hands shook as he placed the plate down, his voice hoarse.

Xie Gantang glanced at Le Xiaowei, who had been laid on the sofa, and poked her. The girl didn’t even twitch.

"She might already be gone."

Xie Gantang could swear—this girl had definitely fainted from sheer exasperation at Yuan Qiaoqiao.

Le Xu: "..."

"When did this happen?" Le Xu took a slow breath and looked up at Yuan Qiaoqiao, who stood nearby.

This… was truly something that shattered his worldview.

"Not too long ago. But I’ll definitely protect Sister Xiaowei—I really do like her." Yuan Qiaoqiao met Le Xu’s gaze, the seriousness in her eyes making him pause.

"If Xiaowei agrees, then I won’t object." Though Le Xu said this, he still couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.

Damn it, what kind of bizarre situation was this?

Now he had two little sisters out of nowhere.

Was he some kind of universal big brother now?

Le Xu’s face was the picture of existential crisis.

Oh right, there was also Xie Gantang, who liked calling him "brother" too.

His mind grew even more muddled, so he buried himself in eating dumplings to calm his nerves.

Yuan Qiaoqiao glanced at him, then walked over and crouched down, taking Le Xiaowei’s hand.

"Sister," she called softly. "Brother agreed to our marriage. Wake up."

Miraculously, Yuan Qiaoqiao actually managed to wake Le Xiaowei up—though in truth, she hadn’t really fainted. She was just… pretending.

She hadn’t dared to look at Le Xu’s expression in that moment. At the time, it felt like her chest was clogged with something, making it hard to breathe.

Le Xiaowei stared at Yuan Qiaoqiao, suddenly wanting to kick this girl straight into the snow.

No.

She couldn’t lose her temper.

If she got angry now, all her efforts would go to waste.

"What do you mean, 'agreed to our marriage'?" Le Xiaowei’s scalp tingled.

Had her brother really said that?

This was ridiculous.

"If Sister agrees, Brother Le Xu won’t oppose it. You like me, don’t you?" Yuan Qiaoqiao held her hand, her dark eyes reflecting Le Xiaowei’s face.

She was serious.

Le Xiaowei inhaled slowly.

"I like you."

For once, she was serious too.

Whether it was Ning Moqing, Mu Miao, or Yuan Qiaoqiao before her—she genuinely loved each of them.

Loving such a god seemed like an innate ability she was born with.

Rarely taking the initiative, Le Xiaowei hugged Yuan Qiaoqiao. Yuan Qiaoqiao lowered her gaze, her chest swelling with joy and satisfaction, as if the emptiness in her soul had finally been filled.

It felt overwhelming.

She was finally going to be with the one she loved.

In the void, Si finally saw the dark aura dissipating from Yuan Qiaoqiao’s head—even the black stains on the transmission point, the book, had faded away.

Si smiled in relief.

Good.

All the fragments of her soul shared the same wish—for Gu Wei and herself to be together, preferably forever.

The book gradually returned to its original milky white. The influence Xiao Linfeng had on this world was nearly gone. Everything had returned to its origin.

A zombie named Tang Yueyue, after being sent to the research base, was found to possess a significant amount of evolutionary factors. Experts even discovered that Tang Yueyue had the cognition and intelligence of a normal human.

Turns out, zombies were another form of human evolution—just one that required more violent and bloody means. However, through Tang Yueyue, they developed a purifying agent that could drastically reduce the risk of superhumans being infected.

Three months later.

The endless snow stretching for thousands of miles finally showed signs of melting. But just as the earth revealed its true colors, disasters began occurring along the coast—tidal surges, mutated sea creatures launching attacks on the southeastern base.

Within a month, the northwestern base expanded again, and this major task was entrusted to the Le siblings.

Xia Jingli had successfully evolved into a fifth-tier superhuman.

Compared to other abilities, water-based powers were now in the spotlight—capable of summoning wind and rain. With the snow melting, some of the soil became suitable for farming, and Xia Jingli was responsible for tending to the vast fields in the newly established base.

She was no longer just someone’s harem member. Though overseeing the plantation might not seem glamorous, she was now one of the base’s leaders.

The base commander, old and without strong abilities, planned to hand over his position to Le Xu once the new base was fully established.

But—

"Dad, why are you so set on him?" Yu Qiu stomped her foot in frustration.

Le Xu sat stiffly in a chair nearby, but before he could speak, Le Xiaowei kicked him.

"Brother, hurry up and get married."

A flash of embarrassment crossed Le Xu’s eyes. Damn it, his sister had seen right through him.

Truth was, Le Xu really liked bright, sunny girls like Yu Qiu—lively and adorable. When she had tackled him into the snow that one time, he’d felt a flicker of attraction.

Plus, Xia Jingli had been bringing Yu Qiu over frequently these days.

Le Xiaowei knew this routine well, so whenever Yu Qiu visited, she never came downstairs.

"Uncle Yu, I’m actually willing," Le Xu suddenly stood and addressed Yu Qiu’s father.

Yu Qiu’s eyes widened, her face flushing red.

He was willing?

Wasn’t this guy a block of wood? Willing for what?

…To become the base commander?

Well, her father’s position was coveted by many. If she were in his shoes, she’d want the "throne" too.

While Yu Qiu was still lost in thought, Le Xu grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Yu Qiu was stunned.

"Getting married," he frowned. Hadn’t he just discussed this with her father?

Married?

What—what?

Yu Qiu couldn’t process it. Wait, how were they getting married just like that?

What about the proposal? The engagement?

Where was the ceremony? The procedure?

"The ring?" Yu Qiu, dragged along by his side, hurriedly asked.

She wanted romance.

"I got a special ice-type mutant core the other day when I went out," Le Xu’s voice trailed off.

"Ha, that’s it?" Yu Qiu grumbled.

Nearby, Le Xiaowei had just stood up when Xie Gantang grabbed her hand.

"Let’s talk outside."

Le Xiaowei glanced at his hand.

"Yuan Qiaoqiao’s going to bite you in a second."

Still, she followed him out. Xie Gantang stood beside her, watching her.

"My name is Chi Mu," he said suddenly. "We met in the last world."

"Oh, I know," Le Xiaowei recalled that so-called crown prince.

But the crown prince hadn't stayed this long.
