Li Xuanzu carried Fu Yu into the house, only to find Qian Li sitting on the sofa in the living room, her face full of anger.
Upon seeing Li Xuanzu return, he initially showed some happiness, but quickly suppressed it, let out a soft snort, and turned to enter his room.
This is...
It seems that Qian Li has finally regained some of the "spirit" that someone her age should have after returning to human society.
She never used to throw these childish tantrums, and she never showed her unhappiness on her face.
But this isn't a bad thing; at least it shows that Qian Li is a normal person.
This is how a twelve-year-old girl should behave.
They're lifeless all day long; what's the difference between them and Li Xuanzu's blood servants who weren't given any intelligence?
"It's all your fault, you're so annoying. I'll go and coax her."
Fu Yu's face was flushed and very alluring. Li Xuanzu couldn't resist and pinched it again.
"Ugh, I just can't do anything with you."
The blush on Fu Yu's face faded, replaced by a look of helplessness.
"Alright, really. Qian Li hasn't seen you in ages, and then you just disappeared for a whole day as soon as you woke up."
"You can't blame me entirely, can you? It's because you were clinging to me and being all lovey-dovey first thing in the morning."
At this point, Li Xuanzu's other hand was also busy, stretching Fu Yu's cheeks long.
"Then...then it's not my fault...right?"
"I don't care, you...you let go."
Fu Yu slapped away Li Xuanzu's increasingly audacious hand and turned to enter Qian Li's room.
He left with a warning look and closed the door.
"It feels good."
Li Xuanzu touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment.
... ...
After a long while, Fu Yu finally came out of Qian Li's room.
Some of her reddened eyes suggested she had just been crying.
Li Xuanzu's divine sense did not deliberately listen to the content of the two's conversation. Seeing Qian Li's appearance, he suddenly panicked.
He was about to say something when Qian Li couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Li Xuanzu.
Although it was the end of the world, Li Xuanzu had collected enough supplies, and Qian Li was developing relatively healthily.
In addition, becoming a fourth-tier psionicist caused her body to grow even taller, and she was now almost up to Li Xuanzu's chest.
"Qian Li..."
"Brother...don't say anything yet, just for a moment..."
Qian Li interrupted Li Xuanzu, then nuzzled her head against his upper abdomen.
Li Xuanzu cast a puzzled look at Fu Yu.
"You should spend more time with Qian Li. I'll go make dinner."
Fu Yu didn't say much.
At least originally, he never felt that he was so important in the eyes of the people around him.
Or perhaps they've already gotten used to it.
Anyway, he's not the type to be sentimental; although he talks a lot, few of his words are useful.
It's unclear how much time passed before Qian Li finally released Li Xuanzu.
Her attitude towards Li Xuanzu changed considerably.
Before the apocalypse, Li Xuanzu possessed Qian Gang's body. She simply endured humiliation and lived under someone else's roof to save her life.
But after spending a lot of time with Li Xuanzu, and perhaps because of his personal charm, Qian Li gradually began to regard Li Xuanzu as a parent.
An object that can be depended upon.
As they spent more and more time together, Qian Li grew accustomed to Li Xuanzu's presence.
If Qian Li stood by Li Xuanzu without hesitation when he first clashed with Leng An, it was for Qian Gang's sake; then everything that followed stemmed from a sense of dependence.
She didn't want the person she depended on for survival to die before her.
However, this dependence did not have enough time to develop, and Li Xuanzu returned his body to Qian Gang.
At first, Qian Li's reaction was one of relief.
This "evil spirit," who was utterly wicked in her eyes, kept his promise and gave her the human society life she had always dreamed of.
But... is everything really as she expected?
Obviously not.
Qian Gang's weak nature did not change despite Li Xuanzu taking him through so much.
The first thing he did after regaining his body was to find their mother based on the information Li Xuanzu had left for Qian Li.
Qian Gang ignored Qian Li's feelings. Even though their mother had abandoned them, he still believed that she had her reasons.
Even if the other party has already started a new family.
Qian Li is different; she doesn't have the concept of "mother" and has never experienced a mother's love, so conflicts naturally arise between the two.
The trigger for the conflict was Qian Gang's continued failure to consider Qian Li's feelings and his insistence on her returning to "home".
She would have been very distressed if Li Xuanzu hadn't resolved the matter so quickly.
This incident shattered Qian Li's beautiful illusions about Qian Gang. In the end, her brother, who had worked hard since childhood, was only trying to satisfy his somewhat distorted desire for control.
He couldn't tolerate his sister calling the person occupying her body "brother" all the time.
Qian Li knew that Li Xuanzu had traveled all the way back from India for her sake, and she developed some feelings for Li Xuanzu that she didn't know how to describe.
That feeling...of having someone to rely on again.
So when Li Xuanzu came back to find her again, Qian Li was genuinely happy.
Although she was traveling again, Li Xuanzu's strength was increasing day by day, and she lived a very easy life.
Afterwards, Li Xuanzu went into seclusion for a month, and Qian Li always felt as if something inside her had been ripped out.
Just like when Qian Gang's body was possessed by Li Xuanzu.
It wasn't until this morning that Qian Li learned of Li Xuanzu's emergence from seclusion.
These were all obtained from the blood servants of Li Xuanzu who were carrying various items.
Qian Li, who was already very sensitive about this matter, simply cried at her residence, which seemed to be the first time she had cried in recent years.
However, those blood servants only follow fixed routes. At most, only if Li Xuanzu's blood servants have no ill intentions towards Qian Li will they tell her the whereabouts of the original body.
The door to the residence was opened again and again, and the blood servants who entered would put down their things and turn into a pool of blood, returning to their original bodies.
But none of them were the people Qian Li had hoped to see.
Qian Li's heart gradually began to ache.
"Why doesn't he come to see me? Am I not important to him anymore?"
Qian Li fell into deep self-doubt.
It's no wonder she was so anxious; Li Xuanzu seemed to have truly become the only light in her life.
Or... was her change also because she thought Li Xuanzu would like it?
In short, the emotions that had been building up for a month finally exploded the moment Li Xuanzu brought Fu Yu back.
Watching Li Xuanzu and Fu Yu's intimate actions felt like having something precious stolen from them.
Fu Yu spent so much time trying to persuade Qian Li, but most of the time Qian Li was just sulking.
(To reiterate, there is no romantic subplot.)
