He snorted coldly, looking at Chu He as if he were the source of all disaster.
"Satisfied now?"
Xian Nuo's voice carried a hint of sourness.
"You have the ability to make them fight to the death for you, so why don't you have the ability to make them stop?"
Chu He did feel a little guilty, but he wouldn't admit it.
He stiffened his neck and retorted righteously.
"Is this my fault? Can you be reasonable?"
"On your turf, what can a powerless human like me do but follow your damn rules?"
Chu He began counting on his fingers.
"Your sister's perverted rule, not allowing anyone to look her in the eye for more than three seconds. I broke the rule, and if I didn't kiss her, I would die! What was I supposed to do?"
"And Kachi!"
Just mentioning that little demoness gave Chu He a headache.
"She's a complete scoundrel! I was played by her, and when I got heated, I kissed her, and what happened? She completely took advantage of me! I'm the victim!"
Xian Nuo's eyelids twitched violently, his handsome face cracking with disbelief.
Took advantage... of him?
Kachi, who looked at everyone like an idiot and toyed with him in the palm of her hand, would use such a crude method?
And his aloof and proud older sister, who seemed untouched by worldly desires, not only broke her own rules because of a kiss but also ended up living with him?
Xian Nuo stared intently at Chu He, his eyes filled with incomprehensible shock and curiosity.
"The two of them... it's all because of your kiss?"
"Not entirely."
Chu He stroked his chin, putting on a profound expression. He looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, like a love guru who had seen it all.
"After all, my damned, nowhere-to-be-placed charm can't always be hidden."
His tone shifted, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
"You must already know about me and your sister, and the strangeness of my kiss."
"You came here so aggressively, are you trying to kill me?"
Chu He suddenly smiled, a smile that made Xian Nuo's heart palpitate.
"Then I have to remind you, my kiss seems to have a compulsory effect on beings like you who are embodiments of rules. Your sister fell for it that way."
"Although it's a bit embarrassing, if you really want to make a move on me..."
Chu He licked his lips, his eyes full of aggression.
"I don't mind taking you in too. After all, you're quite pretty."
As soon as he said that, Chu He himself felt a little guilty.
Who knew if this ability worked on men!
If it did, with his current strength, he'd probably be the bottom.
Xian Nuo froze all over at his words! As if struck by an invisible lightning bolt!
He subconsciously took a step back, his legs clamping together instantly, feeling a chill in a certain area and an unprecedented sense of dread.
Holy crap!
So domineering?
He didn't want to fall in love with a man! He definitely didn't want to be dominated by a man!
"Ahem! Let's talk properly!"
Xian Nuo immediately put away all his hostility, coughed heavily to cover his embarrassment.
"I didn't want to kill you!"
Seeing Chu He's "I don't believe you" expression, Xian Nuo completely broke down and decided to go all out.
"Actually... my mother doesn't know about any of this."
He deflated like a punctured balloon.
"I just wanted to come and scare my sister, and also... see what exactly you are, that she's so interested in."
"And the result..."
Xian Nuo's expression became incredibly dejected, like a child whose treasure had been stolen right in front of him after years of guarding it.
"I really didn't expect you to win over both of them with just a kiss!"
"Honestly, I'm very angry!"
He looked up, his resentful eyes seeming to bore through Chu He.
"Before, the two of them doted on me the most! Now, I just show a little malice towards you, and they all protect you one by one!"
"I'm not happy!"
Hearing this, Chu He actually smiled.
"It's right that you're not happy."
"Before, they revolved around you. Now, they revolve around me. Of course, you're uncomfortable."
He said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Xia Nuo's handsome face turned red with anger, yet he couldn't refute a single word.
"If you want them to treat you well again, it's simple."
Chu He patted his shoulder.
"Stand on my side from now on. I'll eat the meat, and I guarantee you'll get some soup."
Xia Nuo was so choked by his shameless words that he couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, he could only resentfully kick a loose stone at his feet and turn his head to look at the sky.
"The problem is! When are they going to stop fighting!"
High in the sky, every collision between the pitch-black void and the brilliant starry river made space tremble. The scattered energy tore through the clouds, creating a terrifying spectacle.
"Who knows!" Xia Nuo's tone was full of annoyance. "This is also the first time I've seen the two of them really fight, and it's actually over a man! They've gone crazy!"
"Alright, it seems like it won't be over anytime soon."
Chu He retracted his gaze, pulled Xia Nuo to the side of the sports field, and sat down with a plop.
"While we have time, let's talk about something."
Xia Nuo instantly looked at him warily.
"Your mother, what's her background?"
Chu He got straight to the point.
"I saw Yao Yao's soul almost fly away when she mentioned her name."
"And Kachi, why isn't she afraid at all? Don't her family members care about her?"
Xia Nuo's expression became a little complicated, showing both the pride of a child and a hint of schadenfreude.
"My mother is an SSR-Class existence."
SSR-Class?
Chu He's heart skipped a beat. The terrifying weight behind this term far exceeded his imagination.
Xia Nuo was quite pleased with the fleeting astonishment on Chu He's face and continued, "Moreover, Mother has extremely strict requirements for my sister's partner."
He deliberately drew out the tone.
"Their strength absolutely cannot be lower than SSS-Class."
"Kachi's mother is also SSR-Class, but she practices a laissez-faire policy. As long as Kachi is happy, she wouldn't even bother if Kachi poked a hole in the sky."
Xia Nuo spread his hands.
"We, the elders, generally don't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."
On the sports field, a dead silence fell.
Xia Yao's mother, an SSR-Class existence, had set a hard threshold that Chu He currently couldn't reach at all.
This wasn't a mountain; it was a chasm.
Xia Nuo looked at Chu He's instantly sunken face. The pent-up frustration in his heart finally eased a little. He thought he had finally won a round.
"What, scared?"
He couldn't help but add a hint of smugness.
"Now you know it's not that easy to be my brother-in-law, right?"
However, Chu He was only silent for a few seconds.
He slowly raised his head.
Not only was there no fear on his face, but a brilliant smile bloomed instead.
"SSR-Class..."
In his eyes, a flame called ambition ignited, astonishingly bright.
"This is interesting."
Xia Nuo looked at Chu He's expression, which was not one of fear but rather of eager anticipation, and a preposterous thought, enough to make his scalp tingle, grew wildly. He exclaimed involuntarily:
"You're not... thinking of taking my mom too, are you?!"
