On this side of the Milky Way, people from all over the land are enjoying a barbecue under the open sky.

The food processed by the Star River Hand not only becomes delicious, but also increases their soul power.

The local deities have worked hard these past few days, and Xinghe has prepared not only food but also some wine to reward them.

They were all enjoying their meal, and the local earth gods blushed deeply.

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to recognize her talent and took a liking to the fairy at first sight."

"Back then, I was just a nobody, and the ghost messengers in the underworld looked down on us. Now that they know we're the darlings of the fairy maiden, they treat us much better."

"I've accumulated quite a few merit points during this time. Maybe one day I can even become an immortal."

The Earth Goddess hugged Xinghe's arm and said, "Fairy, you are so kind."

"Without you, I would never have reached where I am today."

He was drunk, and he kept switching between crying and laughing.

Xinghe reached out to stop him, "This is all what you deserve, I didn't do anything."

So could you please stop holding her arm?

Her arm hurts so much.

"A fairy maiden~"

The land was so excited that its voice swelled several times.

“From now on, if you say east, we will never go west. You are our second parents.”

After Xinghe saw them off and went back.

It's already past midnight.

Since Ye Ning and his group hadn't finished resolving their issues, they simply stayed at the manor.

At this time of year, only a few lights would be left on in the living room and front yard.

But today, all the lights are on.

When Xinghe entered, all the brothers were sitting in the living room, busy with their own things.

They have their own study, but they insist on sitting in the living room. I don't understand what they're thinking.

Xinghe didn't ask any questions and prepared to go upstairs.

Sheng Lao Si was the first to rush forward, smiling ingratiatingly, "Little sister, you're back! Are you hungry?"

Xinghe, reeking of barbecue, wondered what Sheng Laosi meant by this.

"Little sister, Aunt Wang made chicken soup tonight, it's still warm in a thermos. Would you like some? I'll go get it for you."

"What are you planning to do now? What trouble have you run into this time?"

Sheng Lao Si was being too attentive, which made Xing He uneasy. Some people with wild imaginations even suspected that Sheng Lao Si had blown up the research institute.

As the saying goes, a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken is up to no good.

Sheng Lao Si looked a little aggrieved. "I was just concerned about you, worried that you hadn't eaten yet."

"Don't worry, even if you starve to death, I won't."

Sheng Lao Er brought up a pot of hot water and handed it to Xinghe.

"Little sister must be tired after a long day, have some hot water."

He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle smile.

Xinghe had eaten a lot of barbecue and was indeed a bit thirsty. He took the water from Sheng Lao Er and said, "Thank you."

She held the cup and drank water.

Those men just stared at her.

She took a sip of water, and five people were watching her intently. Sheng Laosan even picked up the teapot, ready to serve at any moment.

Galaxy: ...

He acts like he's sick, day after day.

Did they finally go mad after their sister left?

Xinghe felt that it was best for her to stay as far away from them as possible during this period.

She moved a step to the left, and her brothers followed suit.

She moved a step to the right, and her brothers followed suit.

They completely blocked the path in front of her.

Xinghe slammed his cup on the table. "Alright, let's fight. I deliberately sent Shengyue in there."

"She did all those things herself, can't she just admit it?"

Xinghe rolled up his sleeves. "Come at me all at once."

She'll just beat them up, so they won't act strangely all the time. Once she's beaten them into submission, they'll know to stay away from her.

"Why would we hit you?"

Boss Sheng looked somewhat dejected.

Xinghe: "Why are you surrounding me if you're not going to fight?"

"Boss Sheng, we just wanted to show you some concern."

Xinghe attempted to analyze their behavior from their perspective.

They didn't get along from the start, and she made it clear to them that she would treat them as strangers. Perhaps because she saved them, they felt a little guilty.

But she personally sent their own sister to prison, so don't these people have any thoughts about that?

How is that possible?

Star River is suspicious.

Xinghe's suspicion was like a knife, stabbing deeply into the hearts of the brothers.

"We really have no ill intentions, and we would never lay a hand on you."

Their expressions were somewhat complicated.

Xinghe didn't know how to explain it.

Xinghe's social circle has always been very simple. In her view, she either likes something or she doesn't like it.

Their previous actions can be attributed to the fact that they felt somewhat guilty after Xinghe saved them.

But now, Xinghe has just revealed Shengyue.

Shouldn't they hate her even more?

I don't understand.

Human emotions are just too complicated.

Xinghe said, "Fine, do whatever you want, I'm going upstairs to sleep."

After taking two steps up the stairs, Xinghe turned around and raised her little fist at them, saying, "If you want to fight, then fight openly. I'm always ready to fight."

Boss Sheng glanced at the small cakes he had bought in the refrigerator.

If you don't eat the little cake now, you won't be able to eat it tomorrow.

That cake shop was very popular; the young women in his company often bought cakes there, and he had seen them there twice.

I ran into that store on my way home from get off work today; there was a long queue outside.

Boss Sheng's first thought was that Xinghe should like to eat it.

He refused his assistant's offer and personally queued for almost an hour to buy the small cake.

The little cakes were exquisite, decorated with ornaments and fruit.

After Boss Sheng and the others returned to their rooms.

I took the small cake out of the refrigerator and went straight up to the third floor.

This was the first time he had come to the third floor since Xinghe returned.

The third floor has been renovated, and it's clearly Ye Ning's work.

Compared to Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen, they still did far too little.

Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning have already figured out Xinghe's preferences, while they know nothing about him yet.

He observed the decorations and style of the walls, trying to figure out what colors and styles Xinghe liked.

Before he even reached the entrance of the Star River, a sharp pain shot through his stomach.

He had been experiencing a dull ache in the afternoon. He didn't eat regularly, often not having lunch until 2 or 3 pm when he was busy. Over time, this caused him to develop stomach problems.

In the afternoon, he had a vague premonition that the condition was about to relapse; he knew that familiar feeling better than anyone else.

He took some medicine, thinking there was nothing wrong.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through me, as if it were tearing a hole in that spot.

The pain came suddenly and was more intense than any previous time.

His lips were deathly pale as he staggered to the entrance of the Star River.

The pain made him instinctively curl up, unable to straighten up.

Then he slammed his fist against the door.
