Season Yueyao vowed that if given a second chance, she would never again walk while reading a book—because that was literally courting disaster!

This tragic tale of time-travel sees her que...

Chapter 219 Critical Situation

The Xiyu base was in chaos, with almost all the various forces being scattered and reorganized. It seemed that Yu Zhenlong's era was truly over...

Liang Sisi hid in a small, ordinary house, looking at the messy street with resentment, gritting her teeth.

This shouldn't be happening... It shouldn't be like this. This Xiyu base should belong to her sister! Zhong Jue... Zhong Jue! This bastard's appearance disrupted everything, he messed everything up!

"Liang Sisi, when are we going to stop hiding?" Liang Siying glanced at the poor-quality food on the table with disdain, swallowed hard but refused to eat it.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better stay put!" Liang Sisi gritted her teeth, turned around and glared at Liang Siying. "At this moment, if we make even the slightest mistake, we could all die here. And you're still complaining about this and that?"

"I know..." Liang Siying pouted, then glanced at Yu Kai beside her, opened her mouth but turned her head away like a child.

He and Liang Sisi were almost caught by Zhong Jue's men. If Yu Kai hadn't appeared first and taken them away, they might really be in grave danger now.

"Yu Kai, thank you so much this time." Liang Sisi sighed helplessly as she looked at Liang Siying apologizing. She had absolutely no way to deal with her brother. Turning to Yu Kai, who was standing in front of the door, Liang Sisi was truly thanking him from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Kai tilted his head slightly, looking a little awkward. He leaned against the door and smiled shyly. "We've all grown up together since we were little. At a time like this, there's no way I can not save you."

"Hmph!" Liang Siying turned her head away fiercely, clearly very unhappy that Yu Kai had saved her.

Liang Sisi's forehead twitched, and she kicked him in the shin. "Brother, can you just shut up for a second?"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Liang Siying quickly pulled her leg back and nodded, then looked at Yu Kai behind her with a hint of hostility, "This kid's motives for saving us are not good... Yu Kai, don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

The first sentence was muttered, but the second was a direct shout at Yu Kai. Yu Kai was stunned for a moment, his ears burning instantly. Fortunately, his hair covered them so no one could see. Suppressing his guilty conscience, he stepped forward and tried his best to make his voice sound normal, "We became enemies because of my brother and Liang Siling's relationship, but we've been childhood friends since we were little. To say we turned against each other over that would definitely leave some resentment in our hearts. Besides, now that Zhong Jue has benefited from the situation, my brother and Liang Siling's fates are unknown. At this moment, we must unite and fight against that bastard Zhong Jue no matter what!"

"You probably didn't mean this when you hit me back then..." Liang Siying muttered again, and then got kicked by Liang Sisi as she wished.

This violent younger sister...! Liang Siying was internally devastated.

“We understand what you’re saying.” Liang Sisi chuckled, then stepped forward and pulled Yu Kai to sit at the table. The three of them sitting at the table immediately surrounded the low table. “I really like this feeling right now. Didn’t we always sit together reading and playing before?”

Back then, the three of them were inseparable. Later, when Liang Siying and Yu Kai started to bully ordinary people, she didn't object, but she wasn't interested in it. So she and Liang Siying stopped hanging out together. But their friendship from so many years ago is definitely still there.

Yu Kai's face remained gentle, but his ears were burning hot. He scratched his head, looked at Liang Sisi's cute and delicate face, nodded blankly, and his eyes were filled with sincerity when he looked at Liang Siying, clearly indicating his intention to make up.

Having said all that, Liang Siying couldn't say anything more. He nodded in return, signaling Yu Kai to make up.

Liang Sisi was finally satisfied. She sat up and clapped her hands happily before getting down to business, "Yu Kai, where did you get this ordinary house? Is it safe?"

"I stole this house when I was bored... Nobody would have thought it would be here." Yu Kai scratched his head and said softly. Back then, he kicked out a family of commoners as revenge, but now this house has come in handy.

"That's good." Liang Sisi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She tapped the table and continued, "We're safe for now... but we can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to find a way to rescue my sister and your brother."

Liang Sisi glanced at Liang Siying and Yu Kai, then rubbed her hair in frustration. "But what should we do... First, we have no money, and second, we have no one... We can't even get close to Zhong Jue."

“This is indeed a bit troublesome…” Yu Kai leaned on the table with one hand and sighed slightly, as if he was deep in thought. “Our former people are definitely being closely monitored by Zhong Jue and Huang Ran, and all our sources of income have been cut off by Zhong Jue. No matter what, we are now almost like ordinary people.”

"Ugh, that damned bastard!" Liang Siying gritted her teeth and slammed her hand on the table, smashing the cups and bowls into a mess. "I have to kill that bastard Zhong Jue right now, otherwise I won't be able to vent my anger!"

"Brother, use your brain! How do you think you can kill Zhong Jue in your current state?" Liang Sisi glared at Liang Siying speechlessly, then lowered her eyes with some complicated feelings and said, "Our situation isn't that optimistic right now. In some ways, we're even worse off than ordinary people... Ordinary people have the opportunity to go out and work to earn points, but we can't even go out openly, and there are you two too..."

Liang Sisi paused here, not saying the rest of her sentence, but Yu Kai and Liang Siying clearly understood what she was about to say.

They've oppressed the common people for far too long. If they were to go out openly, not to mention the possibility of being caught by the stubborn locals, just being caught by ordinary civilians would be enough to make their lives miserable.

"What do we do now?" Liang Siying clutched her head in frustration. Who knew their backer would fall one day? If only she had known...

“I still have quite a few alien cores, enough to cover our normal expenses for several months… but after those months, we’ll be starving.” Yu Kai chuckled self-deprecatingly, then clenched his fist. “So before we run out of supplies, we must first ensure we don’t starve before we can even discuss how to kill Zhong Jue, so…”

“We need allies.” Liang Sisi strongly agreed with Yu Kai’s words. After a moment of contemplation, she continued Yu Kai’s statement. (To be continued.)
