"Don't overthink it. It was just a perfectly normal, clichéd storyline. There wasn't even a trace of 18+ content—at most, it was 12+," Chen Li denied.
"Chen Li, who are you talking to?" Scylla looked puzzled.
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
"Mm, and I also made her ignore everyone except me. Ahem, alright, it's time to refresh your aspiration. I hope you make the right choice." Chen Li tossed a bag of Starstones to Scylla.
Refreshing one's current aspiration required Starstones.
"You bastard! You're absolutely despicable." Scylla's voice was full of resentment.
Rather than pick up the Starstones, Scylla let them fall to the ground.
"Despicable? Despicability is the passport of the despicable, and nobility the epitaph of the noble! Scylla, you wouldn't want to see your parents disappointed, would you?"

"Just wait! One day, I'll return everything you forced on me!" Scylla muttered, tears welling in her eyes.

Scylla's expression immediately returned to normal, though the way she looked at Chen Li now carried a trace of strangeness.
"Well? Did it work?" Yakumo Yukari asked impatiently.
"It worked... a red aspiration." Scylla nodded.
"Even after your memories returned to normal, the aspiration's color didn't change?"
"It didn't." Scylla nodded.
"That's great. Maybe we can exploit this bug with this method in the future." Yakumo
