A Selfish Person Like Me
Li Yao was somewhat impressed by the girl's imagination.
Although the guess was a bit off, the general direction was correct.
Therefore, Li Yao said, "The Otherworld Cabinet Group is real. You don't need to think too much about the rest. I have already resolved your sister's problem. Your brother-in-law will not only stop abusing your sister, but will also do everything he can to ensure her survival. So, have you thought about leaving Earth?"
Jiang Zhiying remained silent.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhiying finally said affirmatively, "Yes!"
She didn't want to lie sickly in bed anymore, didn't want to take all sorts of medications to stay alive every day... On Earth, even if she were alive, she would be in prison.
Illness is like a prison.
It completely severed her from the beautiful and normal world! She...
"I've had enough!" Jiang Zhiying said in a low voice, "Group Owner, do you think I'm being selfish?"
My sister was trying so hard to survive, and she was so eager for me not to give up... Before, I could use the excuse that I didn't want to be a burden to my sister to numb myself.
And now? Ultimately—
It was simply that she loathed this sickly body.
She had even decided to end this feeling of powerlessness with death, but Li Yao's appearance gave her a new option.
Li Yao, sitting next to him, nodded and said, "Yes, it's very selfish."
Jiang Zhiying immediately became very disappointed.
She said, "Group Owner, you really don't know how to comfort people at all."
Li Yao pursed his lips.
In fact, what Jiang Zhiying did was not much different from what Jiang Zhiying did.
The starting points are all good, but the ultimate goal is still for themselves.
Why bother with so much between family members?
Isn't human kindness just about you owing me and me owing you? Over time, these debts gradually become human kindness.
Jiang Zhiying looked up and asked, "Group Owner, will you still help me?"
Li Yao: "Of course."
Jiang Zhiying: "Why?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "Because I'm selfish too."
For his own purposes, he wanted to send Jiang Zhiying to Lin Xiaowei's place, even at the cost of making Jiang Zhiying a subordinate life under the rules. Although the final outcome would not have made any difference to Jiang Zhiying, Li Yao had ultimately used her.
but,
Like many classic sorcerers when making contracts, he does not cheat or scheme in the content of the contract.
He would lay out all the pros and cons for Jiang Zhiying to choose from.
This is an open conspiracy.
Under the witness of the Confidentiality Contract, Jiang Zhiying could not reveal their conversation in any form, nor could outsiders spy on it in any way. Therefore, Li Yao could boldly and confidently tell Jiang Zhiying some things.
For example, she might become a life form subordinate to the rules.
besides,
She will gain a completely new body, abilities similar to superpowers, and the title of Chief Chancellor will be fully established! After Li Yao finished speaking,
Jiang Zhiying's eyes widened in disbelief.
She exclaimed, "Wow, there's such a wonderful world beyond the world we know! It's so exciting to even think about it!"
Jiang Zhiying excitedly leaned out of bed. "Then... can I really come back and see my older sister?"
Li Yao laughed and said, "Of course!"
He's also looking forward to successfully reuniting with his best friend!
Jiang Zhiying nodded heavily. "Okay! Then please call my sister in, I want to have a good talk with her."
Li Yao nodded and got up to go to the living room.
Jiang Zhiying's living room and kitchen are connected, separated by a sliding door. When the sliding door is closed to one side, it becomes an open kitchen, and when closed, cooking fumes will not enter the living room.
It's a pretty reasonable design.
Jiang Zhiying was wearing an apron, looking every bit the part of a married woman, but she was clearly distracted while preparing the ingredients. Wasn't she afraid of cutting her hand?
Upon seeing Li Yao emerge from the bedroom, Jiang Zhiying immediately put down what she was holding and asked, "Mr. Li, how did your chat with my younger sister go?"
Li Yao said, "Jiang Zhiying wants you to come in. She says she has something to say to you."
"Whoa whoa!"
Jiang Zhiying immediately wiped her hands on her apron and went into the bedroom.
Li Yao sat down in the living room outside and took out his phone to study magic.
The sisters talked for a long time.
When Jiang Zhiying came out again, it was obvious that Jiang Zhiying had been crying, because her eyes were red and a little swollen.
Li Yao didn't say much.
Jiang Zhiying went back into the kitchen and started preparing the ingredients. After a while, she even started chatting with Li Yao. Her cheerful demeanor made it impossible to tell that she was hiding something.
After lunch,
Jiang Zhiying went outside and bought fresh flowers and fruits and vegetables. She busied herself turning on the home projector and pulled Li Yao and Jiang Zhiying to watch an old movie together—Hachiko: A Dog's Tale.
When evening came, she busied herself preparing dinner.
Jiang Zhiying was very busy that day, as if if she didn't do something now, she would never be able to do anything again.
Only after finishing dinner, washing and cleaning Jiang Zhiying, and arranging for her to sleep did she say to Li Yao, "Mr. Li, shall we go for a walk?"
Li Yao: "Okay."
The landscaping in Little Stone City is quite good. I didn't have a chance to see it properly last time I left, but now that I'm here again, the scenery here exudes the elegance and refinement of Jiangnan. Although it is not as grand and magnificent as the north, it is graceful and has its own unique style.
But this weather...
It was a little gloomy and a little cold.
Jiang Zhiying wrapped her coat tighter around herself and walked casually with Li Yao.
After a while,
Jiang Zhiying then said, "Thank you for what happened last night."
Li Yao smiled and said, "Of course. By the way, please add me as a contact. I'll send you some things in the future."
This is considered compensation for her.
Jiang Zhiying readily agreed, "Okay."
After finishing her work, Jiang Zhiying asked again, "Can you really... do it to the extent you said you could?"
Li Yao nodded.
Jiang Zhiying definitely didn't mention anything about the summoning rules.
but,
There's no need to let her sister know that much.
Jiang Zhiying is an adult and can take responsibility for her decisions.
After receiving an affirmative answer,
Jiang Zhiying pursed her lips, then made up her mind and said, "Then... could you send it over for me too?"
Huh? Li Yao was stunned! What's wrong?
Do you really think this is some kind of "Earth Transmigration Otherworld Affairs Office"?
What do you take me for? A dimensional smuggler? That sounds kind of exciting, doesn't it? Maybe once my own dimension is upgraded, I can try out a "Main God Space" and train a legion of mage minions? As for Jiang Zhiying's request...
Li Yao shook his head and said, "No."
Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with this operation, but Jiang Zhiying is a dying person, and Li Yao's arrangement for her is a way of prolonging her life, which makes sense to him.
But what would it look like to bring Jiang Zhiying over there too? Would it be murder?
Moreover, Jiang Zhiying's life is tied to the lives of the entire Huang Family!
If she dies, the entire Huang Family will be doomed!
The Wallfacers will definitely get involved in the investigation, and then implicate me—wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Seeing Li Yao's decisive rejection, Jiang Zhiying seemed disappointed and pressed for an answer, "Why?"
Li Yao looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten me? I am the Soul Ferryman. My actions and methods are predetermined. Your sister is destined by heaven and has auspicious fortune, which is why she was able to be reborn in another world... You are not."
Oh? Is that so?
Jiang Zhiying was completely fooled!
