Xia Nuo's eye twitched fiercely.
The moment Kachi appeared, the first visible crack appeared on his handsome face, which was usually carved from eternal, icy darkness.
He tried his best to maintain the Head Instructor's dignity and let the terrifying pressure continue to envelop the entire area, but his voice uncontrollably carried a hint of surprise and politeness.
"Ka... Kachi-jiejie, why are you here?"
Kachi completely ignored him.
She casually stretched elegantly, her small body extending, her joints emitting a series of crisp, pleasant sounds.
Her posture was not that of someone facing a terrifying entity capable of freezing time and space, but rather like someone strolling in their own backyard.
The terrifying aura that could make even SS-Class Anomalies prostrate and tremble was as fragile as a joke before her; it couldn't even stir the hem of her clothes.
Xia Nuo watched helplessly as she effortlessly passed through his meticulously constructed domain of authority, his expression completely falling apart.
His face flushed and paled in rapid succession.
"Why am I here?"
"You have the nerve to ask?"
"You woke me from my sweet dreams early in the morning and caused such a commotion. Are you afraid people won't know you're here?"
Before she finished speaking, her figure suddenly flashed in front of Xia Nuo.
She only reached his chest, yet she exuded an invisible pressure that made Xia Nuo instinctively take half a step back.
Kachi stood on tiptoe and extended her fair, jade-like finger, unceremoniously poking his hard chest.
"It's been many days, and your ostentatious personality hasn't changed one bit."
"Vulgar."
"..."
Xia Nuo's handsome face flushed imperceptibly. Facing this merciless criticism, he could only sheepishly say, "Kachi-jiejie, don't mock me. I'm just... on duty."
His drastic change in attitude, from arrogant to subservient, made all the survivors stare in disbelief.
Only Xia Yao seemed unsurprised, though the unease in her heart grew even heavier.
Kachi snorted and finally shifted her gaze away from him, past him, and finally landed on Chu He.
She looked at Xia Yao beside him with amusement, who appeared flustered and anxious like a child caught by their parents. A faint smile flickered in her star-like eyes.
In the deathly silence of the entire scene, she walked step by step towards Chu He.
A faint, unique fragrance, a mixture of scholarly air and stardust, wafted into Chu He's nostrils.
He looked at the small figure before him, already guessing about seventy to eighty percent of the situation.
This little demoness was here to stir up trouble.
Then, in front of her best friend and her friend's imposing younger brother, Kachi made a move that stunned everyone into a stupor.
She floated up to Chu He, extended her fair index finger, its tip carrying a slight coolness, and gently hooked Chu He's chin.
The gesture was flirtatious and intimate.
Boom!
Xia Yao felt as if she had been struck by lightning, completely frozen in place.
Her mind went blank.
She watched with her own eyes as her best friend treated her man with an intimacy usually reserved for couples.
How could this be?
Didn't Kachi hate men the most?
Didn't she say men were foolish and uninteresting creatures?
Then what is she doing now! Why is her action so natural!
Xia Nuo was also completely bewildered.
He looked at his sister, then at Chu He, and finally at Kachi's self-assured expression.
Sister... Kachi-jiejie... this human...
A love triangle?
His mind became a chaotic mess, all his plans and prepared speeches shattered in an instant.
This isn't right!
Uncle's words didn't mention anything about this!
"He's your sister's person, which means he's my person."
Kachi's eyes clearly reflected Chu He's face. Her voice was lazy, but she was speaking to Xia Nuo.
"If you want to move against him in the future, you'll have to ask me if I agree first."
As the words fell, Xia Nuo's mouth twitched fiercely.
How was he supposed to play this?
He had originally just wanted to use "Mother's will" as a shield to scare his sister a little, to see her usually fearless self get flustered in front of him, looking adorably defeated.
And while he was at it, he wanted to properly "size up" this human brother-in-law who had appeared out of nowhere, to see what he was really made of and why his sister cared so much about him.
But when he saw his sister's face instantly turn pale, and heard her unfinished words, filled with a desperate resolve, the satisfaction he should have felt didn't appear at all.
Instead, a sour ache gripped his heart.
It felt as if a precious treasure he had guarded since childhood had been silently stolen by this man named Chu He.
This inexplicable anger instantly changed his mind; he had to teach this human a lesson!
But he never expected that before his plan could even begin, Kachi would arrive.
And the moment she did, she openly sided with this human!
For the first time, Xia Nuo understood the meaning of regret.
In just a few short minutes, he had lost the favor of two sisters at an unbelievable speed!
And Kachi wasn't like his straightforward sister.
Her mind was as sharp as a monster's; his little schemes would probably be exposed in no time in front of her.
He felt like a clown, surrounded by three spectators in the center of the stage, unable to advance or retreat.
On the training ground, the soul-chilling pressure, because its owner's mind was in chaos, had quietly loosened considerably.
Those survivors, who had been so terrified they were about to lose their minds, now tasted a hint of... strangely sweet relief from their extreme fear.
Gossip, such huge gossip!
Gods fighting, no, gods fighting over a man!
This is much more exciting than any terrifying training!
A white guy who had been lying on the ground crying just moments ago quietly nudged his friend dragging a toad next to him, mouthing silently: "Awesome... awesome..."
The despair in the other guy's eyes had been replaced by a burning fire of gossip; he nodded vigorously in agreement.
This shocking reversal made everyone temporarily forget their fear. They all craned their necks, their eyes wide open, afraid to miss a single detail.
Meanwhile, in the national live streams that had been interrupted for a long time, the bullet comments went completely wild.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! The drama of the year! The brother-in-law comes with a knife, only to find out there's more than one brother-in-law!"
"I knew God Chu was extraordinary! Look at Kachi's little movements, her little glances, the chin lift! That was so practiced! These two definitely have something going on!"
"Queen Xia Yao's expression... my heart is broken, but I also want to laugh, what should I do? Green light? No, this is the light of a love triangle!"
"Look at the instructor's face! It's as black as the bottom of a pot! Hahaha, he arrived with an aura of eight feet tall, and now he's so awkward he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes!"
"Best quote of the day: 'My person is also my person.'"
"Amazing! This... is this the aura of the ultimate Harem Lord? Chu He-san, he didn't even do anything, and he made two supreme beings fight over him!"
"Little brother, you've completely lost!"
The atmosphere became very strange at this moment.
It lasted for about ten seconds.
"Cough... cough cough!"
Xia Nuo coughed heavily, trying to regain control of the situation, but his voice carried a hint of insecurity he couldn't hide.
He put on a stern face and, with a forced solemnity, coldly announced:
"Today's assembly ends here!"
"All of you, get back and await further notice!"
The survivors acted as if they had received a great pardon, scrambling back. But each one looked back three times, their reluctant gazes as if they were watching a year-end drama that hadn't finished yet.
Soon, only four people remained on the vast training ground.
However, the atmosphere had become even colder and more bizarre!
