Chapter 13: Dismissal

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a nearby large supermarket to buy daily necessities such as bed sheets, pajamas, toothbrushes, towels, and so on. These were essential items for their daily lives.

Su Mengli and Ye Xuan pushed a shopping cart in the supermarket, doing their shopping.

Su Mengli also noticed that most of the shoppers in the supermarket were couples or families with children.

In this atmosphere, she and Ye Xuan seemed like a family…

After about forty minutes, they returned with full bags. Ye Xuan carried a big bag in each hand containing heavier items.

As for Su Mengli, she held her own bedding and towels in a big pile but it wasn’t heavy.

Then, they called a taxi to go back home.

Once they entered the house, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli put down their things and sat tiredly on the sofa.

Taking a breath, Ye Xuan said, “Alright, we have our daily necessities now. You can live here with peace of mind. Don’t worry about anything else!”

Su Mengli nodded vigorously and said, “I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “No problem. We’re friends! Oh right, I almost forgot. This is for you.”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan took out a stack of cash from his pocket and placed it in front of Su Mengli.

This money was the amount that Ye Xuan had previously asked his sister Ye Xue for.

Su Mengli was taken aback. “Why are you giving me money?”

Ye Xuan replied matter-of-factly, “Of course it’s for you to spend. Now that you have a place to live but no one to cook for you, you can’t go without food or drink.”

Su Mengli shook her head and said, “I’ll figure something out for that. I can ask my real dad for some money. You’ve already helped me so much, I can’t accept your money.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan said, “This money isn’t for you, it’s a loan. When you become successful in the future, you can pay me back with interest! Alright, it’s settled. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Ye Xuan got up and left.

Su Mengli looked at the money on the coffee table but ultimately decided not to use it.

Instead, she called her father Su Guodong and said, “Dad, where are you? I want to meet you.”

There was a moment of silence on Su Guodong’s end before he replied, “Let’s meet near your school at McDonald’s for lunch. Dad will treat you to hamburgers.”

Su Mengli responded with an “Okay.”

On the other hand, after leaving the house, Ye Xuan’s gentle smile disappeared from his face and was replaced by a cold and stern expression.

As someone who had been reborn and wasn’t just an obedient high school student anymore, even though he had always been warm towards Su Mengli because she was the future Empress.

Before his rebirth, Ye Xuan had struggled and survived in a chaotic world invaded by mutated beasts with his C-class ability. Besides luck playing a part in his survival, it was also due to his resilient character.

Now that he had been reborn again, Ye Xuan understood the importance of strength. Clinging to Su Mengli’s thigh and enhancing his own potential were the most important things. Apart from that, there were other things that Ye Xuan needed to do.

Twenty years later in another timeline, Ye Xuan’s parents as well as his sister and even Qi Yue—the sexy English teacher from before—all died due to various events.

Their deaths were caused by natural disasters or human calamities. Since he had been reborn, Ye Xuan naturally wanted to change the fate of these loved ones and friends.

If we were to count, the first one to encounter trouble was his sister, Ye Xue. Because of the pressure the Ye family faced at that time, Ye Xue chose a scumbag as her husband, which ultimately led to her tragic end.

This event had a great impact on Ye Xuan back then, and he would never forget the identity of that scumbag.

That scumbag’s current identity was an intern lawyer at Ye Xue’s law firm. Due to Ye Xue’s youth and beauty, as well as being the boss of a law firm with a privileged background, that scumbag had developed feelings for her and expressed them several times. However, Ye Xue didn’t feel much towards him.

After the resurgence of spiritual energy in this world, that guy lucked out and awakened an A-class talent.

Ye Xuan still remembered how in his previous life, after learning about his sister’s accident, he went to the morgue to see her only to find her shattered into countless pieces.

That guy used his ability to freeze Ye Xue into ice before smashing her body with a punch. She was completely shattered into pieces. Although she didn’t feel any pain in death, she died without a complete corpse!

An A-class talent would be troublesome if they were allowed to awaken before taking action. After spiritual energy resurged and large-scale mutated beasts appeared, human authorities had already ordered strict prohibition on internal fights among ability users.

Those with strength should vent their frustrations on those mutated beasts instead of fighting amongst themselves. Therefore, it wouldn’t be good for Ye Xuan if he waited until that guy awakened. Now was actually a good opportunity.

Although the event hadn’t happened yet, Ye Xuan wouldn’t let his sister suffer the same fate again. However, he didn’t plan on letting that guy off either. Just based on the fact that he killed his sister in the previous life, Ye Xuan had no intention of showing mercy.

As someone who had survived for over twenty years as a low-class ability user after the return of spiritual energy, Ye Xuan’s heart was definitely ruthless enough. He wouldn’t give his opponent any chance.

In her law firm office, Ye Xue sat and continued with her work.

She fired Zhou Yang for a simple reason—her younger brother asked her to do so.
