Chapter 12: Forced to take action



The low-key Jiang Xi became Jiang's father's little tail, following him wherever he went.

After completing the leave cancellation procedures, the two of them went to the home furnishing market before it got dark.

"Xixi, there's only a bed in your room, and there's no place to study. Dad will first give you a desk, and also buy a cabinet to hang clothes..." Father Jiang kept nagging, and the joy in his eyes never faded for a day.

Jiang Xi felt a deep sense of guilt: "Dad, we have lost our house, do you... blame me?" If she hadn't insisted on going out to buy stationery that day, this wouldn't have happened.

In the minds of people in Shen City, having a house is equivalent to having roots.

Now that Jiang's father and mother are in middle age, they have suddenly lost their roots and even lost their jobs. They have to start all over again, and their life will probably be much more difficult than before.

Father Jiang gave her a hairy chestnut and glared at her fiercely, "What are you thinking about, kid?"

"For Mom and Dad, nothing in this world is more important than our Xixi. Now that you're back safely, we're so lucky. There's no need to say anything strange."

Father Jiang sighed. Even with his eyes closed, he could think of the day when Xixi disappeared. That feeling... he didn't want to experience it again.

I waited and waited for my daughter to come back, but she didn't show up. I looked for her everywhere like a headless fly. Now I think about it, I don't know how I managed to get through those days.

"A house, once it's gone, it's gone. Can a living person be so sad about the death of a dead thing?"

Jiang's father clumsily tried to comfort his daughter, but when he saw Jiang Xi's eyes redden, he was at a loss: "Xixi, don't cry, don't cry, okay? Daddy will buy you the game controller you liked last time. Call it, what was it called?"

"No thanks, Dad."

Jiang Xi cursed herself for being so pretentious at her age. She wiped her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Let's go buy some things first. Mom's probably still waiting at home."

In the end, the furniture was picked out at a second-hand market next to the furniture store. Jiang Xi bargained down the price to 1,800 yuan for a set of round wooden tables and chairs for the living room, a set of desks and chairs, and a two-door vertical cabinet. The merchant even gave them free gifts.

So Jiang Xi and his father rode back smoothly in a small truck. When they got home, they were in a rush again. By the time all the things were moved and loaded, it was already dark outside.

Jiang's mother has always been good at housework. While the father and daughter were out, she did some cleaning, tidied the room, and replaced all the sheets and bedding with her own. Once these few pieces of furniture were put in, the new house actually felt a bit like a real house.

The windows are bright and clean, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. There are also a few pots of green ivy on the balcony, and the tender leaves are quietly poking out and swaying in the wind.

The dark night was blocked out. Jiang Xi stretched his body. His father opened a bottle of beer and sat at the table to sip it slowly. His mother brought out three bowls of noodles in a row and scolded angrily:

"You two are both completely limbless, right? You can't even help carry the dishes?"

The noisy and bustling world.

Jiang Xi didn't notice that the smile on her face had been hanging on the corner of her mouth all day, as if she had suddenly walked back from old age to youth and found the happiness that she had accidentally lost.

Because he was in such a good mood, Jiang Xi didn't even think too much about Xiao Qian's "inexplicable" loss of three hundred days when he returned to his room.

On the contrary, Xiao Qian was a little depressed, and explained breathlessly: "The marrow washing fluid is an external object that forcibly promotes transformation, but external objects are still external objects. If it is not combined with the , the host's body may not be able to withstand it. This is why Xiao Qian previously prevented the host from giving it externally."

[So, these three hundred days of energy were extracted by Ah Xin, and then used in conjunction with the marrow washing fluid?]

Jiang Xi felt something was wrong.

Especially since she has recently figured out this little guy's temper. He likes to act pretentiously no matter what. If he hadn't done anything wrong, he would never behave like this.

Is it that simple?

【It's, it's that simple.】

The Chinese characters appear one by one, giving off a sense of weakness.

[No, you must be hiding something from me.] Jiang Xi tapped her chin lightly with her fingertips, her green fingertips gleaming like jade under the lamplight.

The leaves of the bodhi heart grass curled up in the palm of the hand, trembling, and the tips of the leaves were anthropomorphically flushed with red.

Jiang Xi immediately had a bad feeling. "Tell me, what went wrong? It's better to know sooner rather than later."

Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out: "Ah Xin forced you to cleanse your marrow, but accidentally damaged your foundation. From now on, you'll need an additional 100 Popularity Points per month for recuperation. It will take twenty years to fully repair. Host, you'll have to work hard."

Jiang Xi was dumbfounded.

She felt as if she had fallen into a big pit.

But I don’t even realize the scam in my hands and mind.

Was the marrow-washing fluid truly a gift from the golden light of merit? But before she could even enjoy the benefits, she had to run around in a hurry.

[Host, what you said is wrong. Cleansing the essence and marrow is considered a path of "translucent body" in Buddhism, and is known as "pure glass". Given this opportunity, the host is not only not grateful, but also complaining bitterly. This is truly a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin...]

Xiao Qian's bookish pretense didn't calm Jiang Xi's rage: [What's the point of having so many benefits if you don't have the life to enjoy them?]

[You humans, in pursuit of beauty, are even willing to risk your lives by operating on your innate muscles and bones. Why do the hosts complain so bitterly?]

Xiao Qian was really confused.

It doesn't understand that the human group has extremely complex diversity. Unlike simple plants, some people pursue stability in this world, some people like grandeur, and beauty may be liked by everyone, but for Jiang Xi, who has lived a new life, life is the most important thing. As for everything else, it all comes second.

【That's all.】
