Chapter 415 Partiality
Xia Yue lay alone in her new home.
Although she has moved into a new house with more space and new furniture, she still feels a little insecure.
"How long do I have to sleep before I get the scent?"
She tossed and turned in bed, hugging her pillow, and then she remembered the words her mother said to her consciously before she left.
"Do you really think you've become human? The conflict between aliens and humans will one day become irreconcilable. You can find someone to adopt you and play those games of pretending, but don't forget Shallia. Even if I don't want to acknowledge you anymore, you're still my offspring. So please don't embarrass me. If there ever comes a day when you become unbearable... I don't mind pretending you've never been born."
"Mother..."
She hugged the long cat pillow that Li Muhan gave her, looked at the ceiling and the chandelier, and silently recited this name that she had never felt real.
The old couple was very nice to her, but the feeling was a little different from that of her parents.
They are more like her grandparents than her parents, but it must be said that if Xia Yue really had to choose, she would undoubtedly choose to stay with the old couple.
Of course, that assumes that didn't happen.
"You're a monster..."
When the photo from fifteen years ago was thrown in front of Xia Yue's face, she was stunned, and then for the first time she felt the fear of impending loss.
"It's because of you that my parents suddenly fell ill!"
"You monster! Get out of our house!"
"You came to the funeral? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are one of our family?"
"You just want to get your hands on our family's property, monster. I tell you, stop dreaming. I have a hundred ways to destroy you. Xia Yue, listen, I know you are a monster. From today on, leave Tianhai City. I will make sure you don't have any place to stay in this city."
......
"Humanity...is in so much trouble."
Slowly, Xia Yue closed her eyes, but before she fell asleep, the ringing of her cell phone suddenly woke her up.
She turned over reluctantly, picked up her phone, looked at the screen, and then made an unhappy smacking sound.
[Hey, dear sister, do you miss me? ]
"...Hang up, bye."
[Hey, hey! What's going on?! How did I make you angry?! Didn't I help you fight the Special Management Bureau before?!?]
"...What's going on?"
Xia Yue changed her position and lay on her back on the bed. The person who called was none other than Xia Luer.
Today is really not going well.
First it was my mother and then Charlotte. It could be called the worst day.
[Xia Liya, can you tell me what you're thinking? Your mother came to find you and wanted to take you away, but you spoke to her like that. Are you sick?]
“…That doesn’t matter.”
"You...! I don't know what to say to you. Do you know how much I had to say to convince my mother?!"
"I knew it. You asked her to come to me."
Xia Yue slowly sat up straight, her long straight black hair draped over her shoulders, looking a little frizzy.
[Ah...you, don't worry about whether it's me or not. Isn't it a good thing that Mother came to see you? Don't you always complain that Mother is partial? Now she wants you to join the Blood Moon Church. It's obvious that she wants to train you. Why...?]
Xia Yue scratched her hair a few times, then interrupted Xia Luer impatiently.
"First of all, I haven't complained. Secondly, I don't need her training. I'm living a good life now."
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you planning on spending your whole life with that demon? I have to warn you, Shallia, that demon's power is growing stronger, and you... are gradually starting to lose track of him.]
These words seemed to have hit Xia Yue sore.
In fact, she had vaguely felt that when Li Muhan faced Xuanwu in Pingjing City, she could no longer stand by his side as before.
“None of your business…”
"Hmph, you think I want to control you? Don't forget Williams. I haven't forgiven you, but you dare to call yourself a disaster-level person with your current level of power. You really bring shame to our family."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think your mother didn't teach you how to use the scarlet power? Have you ever thought about why your mother took such good care of me since I was a child, and why she taught me how to use the power step by step!"
Xia Yue had never really thought about this. When she was a child, she just felt that her mother was partial to her. Her father disappeared when they were very young, and now Xia Yue could not remember what her father looked like.
But after my father left, my mother put all her attention on Xia Luer and left me alone. In the end, she didn't care at all when I ran away from home.
[Don't be silent! I know you've always been bothered by this! ]
Then, the voice of the Moon Goddess Kongsu came from Xia Luer's side. "Master, to cut a long story short, long-distance travel is very expensive. You've bought too many things recently, and you're running out of money."
[Shut up! Sell this gem!]
Then Xia Luer continued to speak to Xia Yue who did not respond at all on the other end of the phone.
"Listen up, Shallia! You possess not only your mother's scarlet power, but also your father's crescent moon power. You are the child your father most desires! It's unpleasant, but I'm truly jealous of you, you know that?!"
Although Xia Yue did not respond, Xia Luer knew she was listening because she did not hang up the phone.
"Of course... this doesn't mean I'm any worse than you. In fact, my current strength has long surpassed yours. This is what's called a disaster-level. Think about it, Xia Liya. If you keep going like this, you'll only be left far behind by that demon. Hehe, don't come crying to me when the time comes."
"...What exactly do you want to say?"
Xia Yue finally responded, but her voice sounded a little more irritated.
"Ah... from a certain perspective, you and that wooden demon are a perfect match! What I'm trying to say is... ahem, if you still can't figure out how to channel or train your own strength, then come find me. Call me good sister then~ maybe I'll~"
Snap——
Xia Yue hung up the phone, threw the phone under the bed, covered her head with the quilt and fell asleep.
At the same time, Li Muhan, wearing a neat black suit, came to Lin Ziyu's uncle's residence according to the address provided by the Archives Management Office of the Special Management Bureau.
This was a relatively old residential complex close to the city suburbs, and there was no formal security guard at the gate, so he walked in with a swagger.
When he knocked on the somewhat rotten wooden door, Li Muhan saw a middle-aged man in his fifties.
The man looked drunk, with small eyes and a flat nose. As soon as he saw Li Muhan, he wanted to close the door.
"Get lost, you salesman."
"Hey, I'm not a salesman! I'm Lin Ziyu's friend! Are you his uncle Jian Xiang?"
"ah?"
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Lin Ziyu, and then a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
"That little guy has friends? That's strange. But his friends are none of my business. Shouldn't he be in jail now? You're a reporter, right? Stay the fuck away."
As the man was about to close the door, a young girl's voice came from inside the door.
"Lin Ziyu? Are you Ziyu's friend?"
As he was speaking, a tall girl who looked about the same age as Li Muhan walked out.
"What's your business?! Don't meddle in other people's business! Hasn't that little bastard hurt us enough?!"
Jian Xiang shouted angrily at the girl.
Li Muhan looked at the girl's face, which was very pretty. He had also seen the girl's photo in Lin Ziyu's file.
"You must be Lin Ziyu's cousin, Miss Jian Ying."
Li Muchan took the opportunity to squeeze half of his body into the door, but Jian Xiang still insisted on not letting Li Muchan in. He tried desperately to close the door, not caring at all whether it would hurt Li Muchan.
Of course, even a hundred of him probably wouldn't be able to hurt Li Muhan at all.
So Li Muhan was also angered by this drunk man. He exerted a little force and pushed the door open with a bang, and Jian Xiang fell directly to the ground.
"dad!"
The girl quickly stepped forward and helped the man up.
"You, what the hell are you going to do! That little thing asked you to come and take revenge on us?!"
"Oh?" Li Muhan didn't bother to be polite with him. He called his nephew a little beast and thought that he was probably just a good-for-nothing, so he spoke coldly.
"Did you do something to offend Lin Ziyu? Are you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"
The man shuddered for no reason when he was stared at by Li Muhan, and his alcohol sobered up instantly.
