Chapter 159, Titanium Upgrade
There was a knock on the bedroom door. Kong Xiyan opened the door and saw Mo Ya with her lips pursed and a look of grievance on her face.
"Did you get scolded?" Kong Xiyan leaned against the door with her arms folded across her chest.
"Hate it! It's all your fault! My uncle is mean to me!" Mo Ya rudely squeezed into Kong Xiyan's room, jumped onto her bed, and lay there howling, "This is too much! I'm going to make a scene!"
"It's the middle of the night, and if you don't sleep, others will need to rest! Keep your voice down!" Kong Xiyan punched Mo Ya rudely, "Don't dirty my sheets!"
"Hey! Do you have any humanity? I'm crying! Why don't you comfort me?" Mo Ya climbed up and sat on Kong Xiyan's bed: "Don't you already know that I am the great Saint? What's your attitude? Is this how you treat a Saint?"
"What's so great about you being a saint?" Kong Xiyan snorted and laughed: "Even if you are a fairy, my attitude towards you will remain the same!"
"You're so weird." Mo Ya tilted her head and looked at Kong Xiyan. "When others know I'm a saint, they either ask a bunch of stupid questions or try to curry favor with me. Why don't you seem to care at all? Me! A saint! Do you know what that means?"
"It means you can't live for yourself for the rest of your life. Your every move will be watched by everyone. When you're young, you can use your willfulness to vent your dissatisfaction and anxiety. Once you grow up, even the last bit of freedom will be lost. You will become a saint praised by everyone, limiting yourself to the highest standards of behavior, becoming a symbol instead of an independent person." Kong Xiyan looked at Mo Ya and smiled. "That's about it."
"Oh my god... I'm really convinced! I'm only seven years old. Is it really okay for you to scare me like this?" Mo Ya's mouth twitched. "Why can't you wait until I grow up to talk about this?"
"Don't you know if I don't tell you?" Kong Xiyan raised her chin: "Just tell me if I'm right!"
"Hmm..." Mo Ya bit her lip in grievance.
Finally, Kong Xiyan made him cry.
Cry loudly.
Then Kong Xiyan punched him again: "I told you to keep your voice down! Don't disturb others in the middle of the night!"
"I'm already so pitiful, what's wrong with me crying?" Mo Ya rubbed her head that was hit by Kong Xiyan, feeling even more aggrieved: "They designated me as the Saint for no apparent reason, and even said it was the guidance of the Star God!
Who cares! Suddenly telling me that I have to dedicate my whole life to serving the people and become some kind of saint!
I'm already in such a miserable state! What's wrong with me crying? I'm destined to devote my whole life to this, so why should I bother the people a little?"
"You are dedicating yourself to the people of Xing'ertang. Why do you go and disturb the people of Xing'ertang? You are in China now, and your neighbors are provoking you!" Kong Xiyan was amused by Mo Ya.
"You provoked me! You provoked me! It's you!" Mo Ya pointed at Kong Xiyan: "You know I'm a saint, then you know it! Why did you tell my uncle? He wouldn't let me tell! You made me get scolded!"
"You should blame yourself for this. Isn't that what you said at the beginning?" Kong Xiyan spread her hands.
"Didn't you disbelieve it?" Mo Ya's eyes widened. "Why do you believe it now?"
"Because of your card." Kong Xiyan's expression became much more serious. "Your card has the totem of the Xing Ertang royal family on it. Mo Ya, if I were you, I would never take this thing out so easily. Your actions are simply sticking the words "I am a Saint" in your face!"
"Uh..." Mo Ya choked, as if she just realized that she had done something extremely stupid. She was about to make up for her behavior when she heard Kong Xiyan continue.
"I'm not the only one present tonight who recognized your identity. Think about it carefully!" Kong Xiyan raised her eyebrows: "Just because I'm not interested in your identity as a saint doesn't mean that others don't care about the royal family of Xing Erqun."
"So fierce... I'm only seven..." Mo Ya's voice gradually faded away. She looked like a proud and arrogant person who knew she was wrong but still couldn't admit it. Her round eyes rolled around, and then she looked up at Kong Xiyan as if she remembered something: "Wait a minute? It's not just you? Who else is there?"
Before Kong Xiyan could answer, Mo Ya slapped her forehead and said, "Is she the one who's always pretending to be cute and wearing round glasses? From the first glance, I knew she didn't look like a good person!"
"You know she's not a good person, yet you still dare to be so presumptuous?"
"I'm only seven years old! How meticulous do you expect me to be? If I could predict everything, I'd become an old monster!" Mo Ya put her hands on her hips and said, "Can you please be a little nicer to me? I'm already a saint destined to live a miserable life!"
This time, Kong Xiyan didn't say anything harsh.
"Anyway, I'll be more careful next time." Mo Ya wasn't someone who would dwell on her inner struggles. Things had already happened, so she had to accept them, face them, and then overturn the world in one fell swoop. "From now on, I'll never let anyone else know my identity as a saint!"
"Ahem." Luo Zhenxuan coughed dryly outside the door, and then he slowly walked out: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it was just that you were howling too loudly, it was a bit noisy."
"?" Mo Ya's mouth twitched: "When did you start listening?"
"It's basically like this... you can't live for yourself your entire life. Your every move is watched by everyone. When you're young, you can use your willfulness to vent your dissatisfaction and anxiety. But once you grow up, even that last bit of freedom is gone. You have to become a saint praised by everyone, limiting yourself to the highest standards of behavior, becoming a symbol rather than an independent person." Luo Zhenxuan recalled: "That's pretty much it."
"Oh my god... Is it necessary to threaten me again? I really owe you guys, right?" Mo Ya covered her chest with a helpless feeling as if she had been stabbed. "Anyway! Besides, I will never let a fourth person know my identity as a saint! You all have to help too!"
"What does it have to do with me?" Kong Xiyan spread her hands, looking as if she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"You took the money, right?" Mo Ya raised her eyebrows. "Since you took the money, you must keep the client's identity confidential!"
“…” The corners of Kong Xiyan’s mouth twitched.
"Then it seems to have nothing to do with me. I won't say too much, but keep it a secret..." Luo Zhenxuan shook his head, not wanting to get involved in this mess.
"You don't want others to know that you asked your 7-year-old daughter for over-the-knee socks, do you?" Mo Ya narrowed her eyes and said, "Titanium Dad~"
"Why does this version of the story keep getting upgraded? Don't be too outrageous!" Luo Zhenxuan frowned.
"Please, Dad~" Mo Ya blinked, "After all, you've already found me such a cold-blooded, cruel stepmother, right!"
"Do you think I want to pay attention to you?" Luo Zhenxuan said and turned to walk towards his room.
Mo Ya jumped off the bed nimbly, chased after Luo Zhenxuan and stuck to him coquettishly.
"Stay away from me! I don't want any more weird titanium transformation upgrades to get out!"
"Oh~ Daddy is so cold~ Mommy must love you for this reason the most, right!"
Watching the two people passing by her, Kong Xiyan couldn't help laughing out loud.
After laughing, Kong Xiyan raised her hand to cover her chest, her eyes slightly gloomy.
It seems that she will have to find Zhong Yangyang in person to verify it tomorrow.
