Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 266 - 64: My Sister is Kept by a Middle-aged Man
In my previous life, I was full of ambition, believing that with technology in my grasp, I was invincible against the world. Yet, I still couldn’t withstand the tide of the times.
Today, I have returned ten years prior, my brilliance unrestrained. Let’s see which heroes of the world dare to test the sharpness of the Immortal Sword in my palm?
Yan Yu looked at his reflection in the mirror, silently mouthing words, as if conversing with his former self.
The things you couldn’t accomplish, I will accomplish for you this time.
The enemies you couldn’t kill, I will exterminate them for you this time!
As for those who were supposed to suffer tragic fates, I will one by one reverse their unfortunate destinies. I’ve been reborn to fiercely defy fate itself!
"Little Xie," Yan Yu couldn’t help but say, "you need to become stronger."
Xie Ruoxi: ?
She showed a puzzled expression as if to say "What are you talking about?" and confirmed by asking:
"Is this okay? No one will connect you with the young Yan Zhanlong from the TV."
"Indeed," Yan Yu nodded and said, "but they might think that you are keeping me as a sugar baby, considering our age difference is almost a generation."
"What’s wrong with that?" Xie Ruoxi didn’t mind, "They can also think of you as my father."
"Nice try, but I don’t have a useless daughter like you."
"Hey? Why would you say that, that’s too much."
The two left home and went out to eat at a restaurant. Sure enough, no one recognized them throughout the meal.
Let’s not dwell on the meal. Suffice it to say, after they had eaten, they strolled leisurely back home, when suddenly Xie Ruoxi’s phone rang.
"It’s my mom calling." She indicated to Yan Yu to be quiet, then answered the call.
Time for a dialect conversation.
The dialect of Jingnan is quite similar to that of Nanchuan, carrying a ruffian air. Girls speaking it add even more fierceness. Xie Ruoxi, usually delicate in appearance and speaking Mandarin in a soft style, transformed completely when she switched to her hometown dialect, her demeanor becoming bold.
She occasionally rolled her eyes, expressed shock, raised her voice suddenly, and impatiently interrupted her parents.
After hanging up, Xie Ruoxi let out a sigh and immediately reverted to a helpless little bunny, timidly explaining to Yan Yu:
"My parents want to send me living expenses, I said no need, but they insisted on transferring money..."
"My advice is to just transfer ten million to your parents," said Yan Yu calmly, "and completely eliminate this annoyance."
"Heh," Xie Ruoxi showed a bitter expression, saying sadly, "True, but soon the whole village would know... I don’t want to listen to their gossip, it’s annoying."

"It’s inevitable sooner or later," Yan Yu reminded her, "joining our team means you can’t avoid going on missions forever. Once it’s broadcasted on TV continuously, unless no one in your village watches TV, won’t they recognize you anyway?"
"Maybe I can stall it for a while," Xie Ruoxi, true to her reputation as a beautiful good-for-nothing, chose to ignore the unsolvable situation for the time being — deal with it when it happens!
"By the way!" She suddenly had an idea and asked Yan Yu for advice, "Captain, how do you handle the relationship between work and family?"
"Very simple," Yan Yu replied, "I call the shots at home, and handle things the way I want."
Xie Ruoxi: ......
That was something she couldn’t do because she cared very much about what her parents thought of her, otherwise she wouldn’t be so troubled about it.
"Actually, you don’t need to be too pessimistic about this matter," Yan Yu said indifferently, "You’re just used to being in a weaker position at home. You know once your cultivator identity is revealed, your status at home will surely skyrocket, jumping to number one, even beginning to direct and influence your parents’ thoughts. And you lack the confidence to manage it well."
"Exactly, exactly!" Xie Ruoxi was initially dumbfounded, then repeatedly agreed, venting her frustrations, "Captain, you’re absolutely right. I’m just afraid they’ll have too high expectations, and then I won’t perform well... So what should I do?"
"I’ve already told you," Yan Yu smiled slightly, "transfer ten million to your family and solve all the problems. After all, financial capability is directly proportional to the power of speech. If you can earn big money, it means you are capable and formidable, and of course, everyone should listen to you."
Xie Ruoxi was tempted by his words, beginning to imagine:
Her parents, dizzied by the huge sum, would start to see their daughter in a new light. From then on, they would not dare to nag or lecture, but would be respectful and responsive to their daughter’s wishes!
Her older brother’s university expenses would all be taken care of by her, making him treat her with reverence, going out of his way to please her daily for fear of upsetting her and the money stopping!
Yan Yu was absolutely right, money did allow one the freedom to do whatever they wished! Mwahahaha!
Thinking of these delightful prospects, her fingers moved of their own accord... Damn it, the mobile bank won’t allow large transactions!
First, transfer fifty thousand!
Xie Ruoxi transferred the money, then eagerly waited in the family chat group, and soon received a voice message from her mother:
"We got the money. We’re not short of money at home, your monthly salary isn’t much, so it’s not easy to save up like this. You need to look after your health and not overwork yourself, staying up all night is the last thing you should do. How long can you be a waitress in an internet café? Your dad said you still need to learn a skill to have a stable job and income..."
Xie Ruoxi: ?
"Yan Yu, you lied to me!" She began to wail directly.
"How did I lie to you?" Yan Yu was also puzzled.
"I sent money home, and it was completely useless!" Xie Ruoxi showed her phone to him.
"No kidding," Yan Yu glanced at it and disdainfully said, "I told you to transfer ten million! You transferred fifty thousand, what reaction did you expect from your parents? At most, they might think you’re working hard to save and send money home and won’t change their opinion of you."
"But the mobile banking app doesn’t allow large transfers!" Xie Ruoxi argued.
"That’s your problem," Yan Yu sneered, "No one forced you to transfer money now, did they?"
"Mmm mmm mmm uh uh uh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!" Xie Ruoxi let out a horrifying scream of frustration.
All I got for fifty thousand yuan was a lengthy lecture from my mother; it’s like I’m asking for trouble!

It’s all the team leader’s fault! You owe me for these fifty thousand yuan!
Of course, the pretty waste doesn’t have the courage to say that, just sullenly following Yan Yu on the way back.
After a while, another video call came through; it was from Xie Ruoxi’s older brother, Xie Rushan.
The Xie family placed great emphasis on astrological signs. When the eldest son was born, they had a fortune-teller come over who said he lacked ’earth’ in his elements, so he was named Xie Rushan; and when the daughter was born, they said she lacked ’water,’ hence the name Xie Ruoxi.
The siblings indeed lived up to their names. Xie Rushan was honest and obedient from an early age, studying when told to study, and doing problems when told to do problems, with basically no other interests or hobbies.
His sister, Xie Ruoxi, on the other hand, didn’t focus on her studies, spending all day with her brain deep in anime and immersed in various mobile games... The parents could only sigh that the name was fitting and regretted they hadn’t named her something like ’Lake’ or ’Sea.’
"Sis," Xie Rushan, unable to hide his thoughts, directly asked as soon as the video call connected, "did you just transfer fifty thousand yuan to our parents?"
"Yeah," Xie Ruoxi replied unenthusiastically.
"Where did you get that much money?" Xie Rushan asked in astonishment, looking at the dark road behind her, "Are you off work?"
"What else?" Xie Ruoxi replied irritably. "What time is it now?"
"Sis, listen to me, it’s okay to earn money slowly, just don’t get any bad ideas!" Xie Rushan anxiously advised, "You’re still young, you’ve got a future to work towards!"
Although his tone was urgent and his love for his sister was clear, Xie Ruoxi only found it tedious and exhausting to listen to.
It’s too late, everything’s too late.
I’ve already signed the contract and officially enlisted. Could I really tear up the contract and stuff the True Yuan cultivated in my Dantian back into it?
Big brother, your sister is a cultivator now, enduring inhumane training and cultivation every day. I can’t... go back anymore.
"Who is it?" Yan Yu leaned in and asked.
"It’s nothing, just my brother," Xie Ruoxi showed him the screen.
As the phone tilted, Xie Rushan caught a fleeting glimpse of a middle-aged man’s handsome face and was shocked nearly to the point of dropping his phone.
It’s over! My sister’s being kept by a wealthy middle-aged patron!
He quickly steadied his phone, about to ask more, but found the call had already been disconnected.
After hanging up the phone on her end, Xie Ruoxi turned on flight mode and complained:
"Annoying, I don’t want to be interrogated by them, it’s all your fault, team leader, for tricking me into sending money home!"
"Hey! I told you to transfer ten million, and you only transferred fifty thousand, and now it’s my fault?" Yan Yu ridiculed her, "This is what happens when you’re uneducated. You can’t even understand numbers correctly, scammers love to target fools like you."
The two of them chatted idly as they walked home, unaware that Xie Rushan was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, throwing on his clothes and saying to his roommate:
"Cover for me at work tomorrow, I need to go out!"
"Where are you going?"
"Jinling!"
