The older sister has water powers, and hers has fire powers. It is said that water and fire are incompatible, but when they were fighting as children, they accidentally discovered that as long as their powers are combined and compressed, they will explode. Later, they practiced frequently and became more and more skilled. Now their explosions are more powerful than bombs. They are very powerful in the Dragon Group.
Zhuge Qianxing: ...Let's just pretend he didn't say anything.
Yuanyuan quickly tried to make amends: "Shaoling is doing better now. Before, no matter what Shaoxian did, she would protect her. Now, at least she's gotten a bit smarter and doesn't just blindly give anymore."
She initially had a good impression of Shaoling, but after Shaoxian arrived, she did a lot of stupid things. Recently, she's become a bit more sober, but it's unclear how long she can maintain that. It's like she's her younger sister; if she dares to disobey, she'll just use her fists. It's the older sister's duty to take care of her younger sister, but she also needs to tell her what's right and wrong before she'll be grateful. Manman is so obedient, yet Shaoling still has the nerve to say that she spoils Shaoxian while she spoils Manman. They're both the same kind of younger sister. What do you mean, the same? She spoils Manman, and Manman will protect her in return. That's what sisters are like. Unlike her, Shaoxian only knows how to kick someone when they're down.
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Last time I saw Shaoling, she was very protective of Shaoxian. How come she has changed so much in such a short time?"
Xi Yan glanced at her: "Don't you know who gave her the psychological suggestion? But she's much happier now. As long as she stands on her own two feet, the Shao family can't do anything to her."
He just couldn't understand it. She had been used so thoroughly by her relatives, yet she was still stubbornly clinging to her beliefs, constantly trying to benefit the family and cleaning up after Shao Xian, making herself look bad to everyone, and even sacrificing her years of connections and favors. What did she gain? You should know that the Shao family is now gaining its reputation because of her. She is the family's living advertisement. Only her family members should fawn over her. Why would she need to kneel so humbly before the family?
Zhuge Qianxing spoke up for Shaoling: "Actually, Shaoling has a good personality. Her family is a bit complicated, and it takes time for relatives to get along. Shaoling needs time to grow."
In his view, Shaoling was just a little girl who had been suppressed by her family for a long time. She lacked confidence even after achieving something. What they needed was to encourage her and make her realize that she was the one in control. She had already changed. Fanfan's subtle hints were the key. Didn't she become the bright and magnanimous Shaoling?
Zhu Fanfan wouldn't tolerate it: "If I were Shao Ling, the Shao family wouldn't even exist now. She just wanted the Shao family's approval and was willing to make sacrifices for them. What she needs isn't growth, but awakening."
Yuanyuan agreed: "Yes! The Shao family holds a very important place in Shaoling's heart, which is why she was taken advantage of."
After she and Manman joined the Dragon Group, didn't their powerful fathers come looking for them? They acted all high and mighty. They used to kick them out of their home, but now they have to kneel down and beg them to come back. Nobody dares to mess with them back home.
She completely agreed with her sister: "Whatever you say is right."
Zhuge Qianxing: ...
Xi Yan couldn't help but say, "Actually, it's already quite remarkable that Shao Ling has been able to do this much."
From a young age, she was instilled with the values of male superiority, sisterly love, and dedication to the family. This was not only through constant admonitions but also through her mother's tearful accusations when she failed to meet these expectations. Her father, who held no position in the family and was subservient, treated his wife and daughters with hostility and even physical violence. Coupled with the fact that Shaoling was often neglected and punished, she developed a timid nature. Her good temper and lack of competitiveness stemmed from her subconscious belief that she couldn't win and didn't deserve anything good. Her ability to break free from these constraints for over twenty years is worthy of respect.
Zhu Fanfan said, "I didn't say she was bad, it's just that she doesn't quite meet my criteria for choosing friends, so it would be difficult for us to become friends. I don't deny that she is very outstanding."
The influence of one's family of origin is profound. As the saying goes, happy people use their childhood to heal their entire lives, while unhappy people spend their entire lives healing from their childhood. She admired that someone who grew up in the Shao family's circumstances could still be kind-hearted and considerate of others. It was truly remarkable that she could do that. No matter how good Shao Ling was, she couldn't get close to her.
Yuanyuan also said, "I feel the same way. If we need her help, we can rest assured that she won't do anything bad. We will also be willing to help her if she asks us for something. But when we open up to her, I always feel that there is a layer between her and us, which is hard to cross."
But after talking to Fanfan, she realized that Fanfan was the same kind of person as them and that they would be friends.
Then the three girls looked at Zhuge Qianxing. Zhuge Qianxing couldn't understand what the three girls meant, so he could only say, "Try activating your superpowers. This light seems to help enhance your superpowers."
The group stopped worrying about Shao Ling and started practicing their internal energy. They were surprised to find that it wasn't Zhuge Qianxing's excuse, but that it could actually enhance their abilities. Naturally, they stopped talking and started cultivating.
After finishing his cultivation, Zhu Fanfan lay down on the ground: "Isn't this nice and warm? I'll sleep here!"
Yuan Yuanman agreed and lay down on the ground, ready to close her eyes. Zhuge Qianxing said helplessly, "You girls, go back. It's freezing cold here. If your clothes can't keep up and the cold gets into your bodies, you'll regret it later and have nowhere to cry."
He admired the countless girls who crossed snow-capped mountains and icy rivers on the Long March, all for a steadfast belief. However, after liberation, these girls were all injured and could not get pregnant for the rest of their lives. Due to the aftereffects, they had to wear thick, non-breathable clothes in the summer and in the winter they almost wanted to stay indoors, spending their days by the stove.
Zhu Fanfan knew it was for their own good, so she reluctantly got up. As soon as she got up, she felt the biting cold. She looked at the sun, but it had been blocked out. The snow felt like it was filled with ice and instantly cooled down. The others also jumped up, unable to help but cry out that they were cold.
They were unable to move, as if a majestic force in the world was compelling them to submit. They were pinned to the spot. She didn't know how others felt, but Zhu Fanfan herself began to resist. In this world, apart from her grandparents, no one could make her submit.
Zhu Fanfan's superpower is mental strength. The sudden pressure is like mental strength being squeezed and squeezed again until it reaches a point and then directly attacks. But what's ingenious is that this attack doesn't cause any real damage; it's just a show of force.
Regardless of who gave her the cold shoulder, Zhu Fanfan had no intention of giving them face and directly confronted them. She wanted to see who would eventually give in.
