The sound of the lock turning rang out, and the door was slowly opened. After a while, a drunken, square-faced, burly man staggered in.
The burly man slumped onto the sofa, rubbing his temples to ease his headache. As if remembering something, he shouted loudly towards the kitchen, "You little brat, is dinner ready yet?!"
Chen Sirui timidly walked out of the kitchen, her hands behind her back, clutching the hem of her clothes, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, not yet, wait a little longer."
Snap!
The burly man stood up and slapped Chen Sirui across the face. He grabbed Chen Sirui by the collar, lifted him up, and held him in the air. His tiger-like eyes widened as he stared intently at Chen Sirui.
"You good-for-nothing brat, you can't even do such a small thing right."
The burly man threw Chen Sirui to the ground and stomped on him repeatedly, each stomp filled with all his strength, as if venting all his resentment on him.
"Uncle, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time." Chen Sirui covered her head, curled up into a ball, and begged for mercy desperately.
"Don't hurt your brother." Chen Sirui opened his eyes and vaguely saw his sister coming over and trying to pull the big man away, but she was pushed away by the big man and fell to the ground.
Chen Sirui's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Don't hurt my sister!"
The burly man stopped, his expression strange: "You hermaphrodite, have I driven you mad? Where did you get a sister from, you idiot?"
The resentment in Chen Sirui's eyes was so intense it could flow like water. The ball of light in his arms slowly emitted light, growing brighter and brighter. In the center of the ball of light, a strange black tiger could be vaguely seen.
roar!
With a whoosh, white light emanated from Chen Sirui's body, the intense light causing the burly man to involuntarily close his eyes.
After a long while, the white light gradually dissipated, and the big man slowly opened his eyes. There was now a girl in the place where Chen Sirui had been. She looked about 80% like Chen Sirui, wore the same clothes as Chen Sirui, and had long, shiny black hair draped behind her. She looked at Chen Sirui with deep affection.
"This little girl is quite pretty, let uncle touch her." Alcohol numbed his thoughts, and the big man didn't even think about how the girl appeared. A lewd smile appeared on his face as he reached out to touch the girl.
"Brother, as apostles, we should go and meet with our fellow countrymen. Let's get rid of this guy quickly."
Chen Siqi grinned, showing no fear of the fierce-looking man, and teased him.
Chen Sirui's eyes flashed, no longer showing his previous cowardice. He looked at the big man in front of him with a hint of disdain and pointed a finger at him.
"What are you doing, kid? Do you want to get beaten up again?!" The big man was furious when he saw that Chen Sirui dared to resist, and he raised his fist, which was as big as a sand pot, and slammed it down hard.
Chen Sirui showed no fear, holding Chen Siqi in his arms and watching the big man with great interest.
Suddenly, the big man's face stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing. Blood gushed from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, and his pupils rolled inward until they reached a limit where his eyeballs rotated 180 degrees and finally became stuck in their sockets.
"Aaaaaah!"
At the same time, the big man's body trembled violently, the trembling becoming faster and faster. His originally rough skin began to crack, and cracking sounds came from inside his body. Finally, he exploded with a bang, and minced meat flew everywhere, splattering onto the two men.
Chen Siqi tiptoed, her pink tongue gliding across Chen Sirui's cheek, slowly licking away the blood and flesh residue on his face. Her eyes remained clear as water, as if she were eating a delicious flower rather than flesh and blood.
Chen Sirui pressed Chen Siqi's head down and said with concern, "Don't eat it, it's dirty."
"whee!"
Chen Siqi smiled and took Chen Sirui's arm, and together they walked out of the house that had been stained red.
Outside the door, several men in black robes were already standing. When they saw Chen Sirui and his sister come out together, the leader handed them two black robes and said, "Holy Tiger, welcome back to the Lord's embrace."
"Heaven above all!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Chen Sirui and her brother, dressed in black robes, disappeared along with them...

Chapter 84: Discovery (My third application failed; this book might not get a contract. I'm so sad.)
Time flies, and a week has passed since Zhang Chulan left. Xu Le has no interest in going to class, and the professors, knowing his background, don't want to cause trouble. They simply pretend he doesn't exist, and no one is so tactless as to record his absence. After all, everyone is just trying to make money, and there's no need to cause trouble.
This is also one of the benefits of power; you never know how many shortcuts someone with connections might have over you.
Xu Le stayed at home and studied these techniques diligently. Although they were not difficult for him, the martial arts theories within them were indeed extremely effective and greatly contributed to the improvement of his combat abilities.
Xu Le sat at his desk, diligently writing down his plan. The shadows through the crack in his door were being monitored by the Shadow Legion, so he didn't need to worry about anyone suddenly breaking in and discovering his plan.
Xu Le has planned three subplots: Liu Yanyan, the Twelve Saints of the Black Flag, and Ma Xianhong. As long as things develop in the general direction of the plan, this world will become very interesting.
Xu Le put down his pen, and a shadowy warrior appeared beside him, putting the plan into his inner world to ensure that the plan would never be leaked.
Xu Le stretched, his eyes unfocused as if he had seen something, a smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself:
"Life is like a game with no outcome. The amount of happiness is fixed. Assuming that the total amount of happiness and unhappiness in the world is fixed, then this is a game where 'for every person who gains happiness, someone else will inevitably suffer misfortune.' Everyone thinks they are the most unfortunate person in the world, believing that because of their misfortune, someone else must have gained immense happiness." (From "Life is a Game")
"So, let your misfortune bring me pleasure!"
At this moment, a shadowy warrior suddenly appeared, interrupting Xu Le's thoughts. He whispered a few words in Xu Le's ear and then turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Le walked out of the room and saw Liu Yanyan watching TV while wearing a cat-themed pajama set. She smiled and said to her, "I'm going to school. I won't be back for lunch."
Liu Yanyan turned her head, her cat ears twitching, and said to Xu Le, "Bye-bye, be careful on the road."
After speaking, Liu Yanyan gazed affectionately at Xu Le's retreating figure until the door was closed, then looked away, like a virtuous wife watching her husband leave.
During this time together, Liu Yanyan felt that she could no longer live without Xu Le, so she secretly placed the zombies nearby to protect herself. At the same time, she bought cookbooks to learn how to cook and try to enrich herself. She had decided to become an ordinary girl and live a normal life.
As soon as Xu Le left, Liu Yanyan started cleaning. After all, she had been eating, living, and using Xu Le's things. Although she felt that they had feelings for each other, she was still embarrassed to eat and drink for free before they established a relationship. So she contributed her share by cooking and cleaning the house.
Today, she cleaned as usual, and after tidying up her own room, she started cleaning Xu Le's room.
