Pain, It Hurt So Much!!

"What does that have to do with me?" Liu Ruyan said softly, shaking her head with a sigh. She was still so immature, completely unconcerned about whether her actions would cause trouble for others.

Although the master is a bit lecherous, he is far superior to Ye Xiu Ye Xiu every way, whether in terms of interpersonal skills or other aspects.

The thing people fear most is making comparisons.

Liu Ruyan's words struck Ye Xiu like a heavy blow, making his face turn pale.

"We grew up together." Ye Xiu looked at Liu Ruyan with a hint of disbelief. He hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to become so heartless.

Liu Ruyan:...

We grew up together, so I owe you something. Should I share the risk of being wiped out by the Long Family and risk my parents' lives to go wild with you?

"Childish!!" Liu Ruyan rubbed her temples with her slender fingers, stood up from her seat, and looked at Ye Xiu with a cold expression.

"Liu Ruyan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You're a complete gold digger. In the end, you just look down on me because I'm a poor guy. Let me tell you, don't underestimate a young man's potential!" Ye Xiu looked at Liu Ruyan and vented all the anger and resentment he had before his Rebirth.

Liu Ruyan glanced at Ye Xiu indifferently, her eyes filled with undisguised disappointment. "Crazy."

"Me, materialistic? Did I accept the things you gave me? Or did I string you along, keeping you like a fish on a chopping board? Or did I deceive your feelings?" Liu Ruyan said calmly.

Every word made Ye Xiu pause in surprise.

"We're just neighbors who grew up together, you could say we're childhood sweethearts, but that's all. I have my own pursuits, is that wrong?" Liu Ruyan said softly.

Ye Xiu fell silent after hearing Liu Ruyan's words.

Looking back, Liu Ruyan certainly didn't string him along, nor did she accept any valuable gifts from him, and she certainly didn't deceive his feelings.

Liu Ruyan has always been very opinionated about her life plans and wants a Guangming Pharma future. Is that wrong?

"You've offended the Long Family, do you expect my whole family to be buried with you?" Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Xiu with cold eyes.

Because Ye Xiu offended the Long Family, Liu Ruyan encountered trouble from the Long Family more than once. However, since they were just neighbors, the Long Family dared not go too far.

If there really is any connection between her and Ye Xiu, then the first people to be sacrificed would be Liu Ruyan's parents.

Why is it that someone like this can so confidently question me and accuse me of being materialistic?

"Go. From now on, we are strangers." Liu Ruyan returned to her seat, picked up Book on divine arts, and remained silent. In Liu Ruyan's view, there was no point in arguing with someone like Ye Xiu.

"In the end, you're just afraid of the powerful and wealthy," Ye Xiu said with a hint of resentment, as if he were making excuses for his mistakes.

"We're not on the same path after all. Fine, from now on you go your way and I'll go mine. Liu Ruyan, you'll regret this." Ye Xiu said to Liu Ruyan.

Ye Xiu slammed the door shut.

They left immediately.

Liu Ruyan:...

Watching Ye Xiu's departing figure, Liu Ruyan uttered three words: "Crazy!"

So, even those who fear the powerful are here? What good will it do me to drag me down with them after you've offended them? Or does following you demonstrate that I'm not afraid of the powerful?

Is that what you call being fearless of the powerful and influential? In the end, it's nothing more than acting recklessly without thinking about the consequences. You just acted on impulse.

Such people never realize their own mistakes; they always blame others and believe they can never make a mistake. Most protagonists are like this.

Ye Xiu left the place somewhat numbly.

He didn't know how he got back to Imperial Capital University, thinking about Liu Ruyan's words.

Ye Xiu felt a pang of heartache, a deep, unbearable pain!

He hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to be so ruthless. The Long Family? What was there to be afraid of in the Long Family?

Ye Xiu didn't understand, nor did he comprehend it. In the end, the Long Family was just a large Families. Given time, he was confident he could surpass the Long Family.

This is the confidence that comes with Rebirth.

Within the Main Territory.

Su Ye was fishing.

A private message notification popped up.

Su Ye glanced at it and saw that it was sent by Liu Ruyan.

[Zhao: Master, there's something I want to tell you.]

[Otherworld Traveler: What's the matter?]

[Zhao: It's about Ye Xiu, my childhood neighbor. He came to see me today and said some random things.]

[Otherworld Traveler: Oh? What did you say?]

Su Ye looked at the message Liu Ruyan sent with some curiosity.

Liu Ruyan then sent over the complete story.

Su Ye fell silent.

[Otherworld Traveler: Alright, let's leave it at that. That Ye Xiu is a troublemaker; don't contact him again. He'll cause a lot more trouble in the future.]

[Zhao: I understand, Master. I've blocked him.]

[Otherworld Traveler: Alright, how's it going at Star University lately?]

Su Ye chatted with Liu Ruyan for a while, showed some concern for her, and then nothing more happened.

"Ye Xiu?" Su Ye squinted slightly.

"This guy is such a troublemaker. If things go according to the normal plot, he should be able to expose the Chaos Church members at Imperial Capital University soon," Su Ye couldn't help but think.

"Judging by the time, the entrance exam for Imperial Capital University is about to end, and tomorrow should be the final ranking battle." Su Ye remembered what Tang Wuxue had told him before.

"Hmm, I'll go check it out tomorrow, I don't have anything else to do anyway," Su Ye thought to himself, and then continued his fishing trip.

Elena changed into a maid outfit, Lux wore a bunny girl uniform with some shyness, satisfying Su Ye's perverse sense of humor.

Within Bronze World No. 1.

In Xi Yue's Office.

A projection appeared in front of Xi Yue.

Above them were terrifying behemoths. Including the Golden Thunder, the Giant King, and the Void Whale from before, there were now seven more Young God.

"There are so many Young God in that world," Xi Yue couldn't help but think.

The world where the Virus evolved spawned more Young God than expected; a total of eight Young God were captured, that is, eight so far.

Whether there are any left is unclear.

"Zero informed Christine that there are a total of ten nascent Young God, so we can increase the production of Divinity Factor," Xi Yue said softly.

"Yes, Creator, shall we inform the Emperor?" Zero's voice rang out.

Upon hearing Zero's words, Xi Yue learned that Zero had also been upgraded along with the Technology Research Institute. However, it remained the same Artificial Intelligence, only now it possessed some simulated emotions and learning abilities.

As for the possibility of an Iron Man rebellion, that's absolutely impossible. After all, it's not a true Mechanical Life; those are completely different concepts.
