Like she had with Yu Xunhuan?

...Or plant something illegal on the Han siblings? Too bad Tomato's rules wouldn't allow it.

Since she was already here, Yu Xunge thought she might as well do something. Whenever she had nothing to do now, her bones started itching. She even suspected she had some kind of illness, so when she had gone to the Dark Market, she found a doctor to ask about it. The doctor at that illegal clinic had absolutely no medical ethics. He said it was not an illness—it was just her being cheap.

Yu Xunge: "..." What a venomous mouth. No wonder he could not be a legitimate doctor!

But there was only one hospital here, and its services were extensive. She left behind two strands of hair—one after she had used her disguise skill, and one from her real self—for the doctor to test their DNA.

While waiting for the results, she planned to look for mutated items in B City that she had heard about in her previous life.

Nothing too large. Nothing that could be mass-produced for the battlefield. Nothing that its owner treasured too dearly. Ideally, its owner would have a grudge against her...

But even after finishing a cup of coffee at the café, she could not remember anything. Any mutated item that became famous did so either because it was powerful enough to change its owner's life, or because its owner had suffered because of it.

She did not want to touch the former, and the latter were genuinely rare.

National order had not collapsed. Though darkness existed everywhere, people as a whole still stood united against the alien races. Besides, troubled times called for severe laws. The force that had wiped out the pet hospital had paid a considerable price afterward.

After thinking it over and over, she could only think of one of the male lead's friends—a man named Ye Dong.

He had known Yu Xunhuan even before the game invasion. They had both been game streamers and were friends. After the third closed beta, he went to S City to join the male lead. During that time, he had even pursued her.

Back then, she had not understood why a man with absolutely nothing could act so superior in front of her.

He had offered no care or affection, only his mouth. After she rejected him, he even felt that she did not know what was good for her. Constantly saying, "I like you, be my girlfriend," under those circumstances was not pursuit. It was harassment.

Yu Xunhuan had not spoken up for him, but he had not stopped him either.

Thinking back now, perhaps it was because they had both been players at the time, so they looked down on ordinary people?

Ye Dong's god-given talent was not actually strong—merely an A-rank. Among the male and female leads' team, where S-ranks were everywhere, it was not worth mentioning. Even her own A-rank talent was stronger than his.

But Ye Dong possessed an item that mutated after the game invasion, allowing him to remain by the male lead's side all this time.

It was a little figurine he had played with for years. After mutating, it directly became his contracted pet. It could grow larger and serve as a puppet or soldier, could activate skills, had 80% of its owner's attributes, and could revive even after death.

The best part was that contracted objects, like bound equipment and items, could not be stolen. Even if the owner died, they could not be taken.

She was not planning to steal Ye Dong's item. Ye Dong might have been stupid, but all he had done was flirt with her verbally, have a slightly worse attitude, look at her lewdly, occasionally tell the male lead things like, "You're way too tolerant of your sister," and, when she and several others went with that puppet to lure monsters, have the puppet protect everyone except her...

His crimes did not warrant death.

Yu Xunge considered herself a very tolerant person.

She repaid grudges with grudges and enmity with enmity, but she would not wipe out an entire family at the drop of a hat.

So she slipped into Ye Dong's home and found that familiar little figurine—a gaudily dressed little man holding a sword. She took out a dagger, chopped off both its tiny arms, shaved off its hair, then left Ye Dong's home with the scattered pieces.

As she passed the mouth of an alley, she casually crushed the two cute little arms, the tiny sword, and that layer of scalp, then scattered the dust into a trash can.

Sigh.

Yu Xunge stood by the roadside, looking at the street as she sighed.

She was probably what people called a living Bodhisattva.

Late at night, Yu Xunge, whose daily routine had completely fallen apart, appeared in Han Qianshan's room again.

It was already two in the morning. This person was actually still awake?

Although Yu Xunge had used the Phantom Body Spell, she still did not feel safe enough, so she quickly drank another bottle of invisibility potion.

Then she watched Han Qianshan smash things. Before long, Han Qianhai came in as well, and both of them looked awful.

"Did you find anything?"

"No. Only our attributes dropped."

"...#¥%...¥@"

"My top hat is gone too! It must be some kind of stealing skill. Don't let me find out who that bitch is! I'll skin him alive!"

"What if he comes to steal again? We still don't know whether our attribute points can recover..."

"We asked around the Yu Family and the Li Family. Nothing like this happened to them."

Yu Xunge watched with great satisfaction. The more irritable the two of them were, the more it proved she had done the right thing.

When she heard the Yu Family mentioned, her heart stirred. Could it be Yu Qingshan's ancestral family?

But it had nothing to do with her. After being reborn, she had taken the time to test their DNA. She, Yu Qingshan, Yi Qiuguo, and Yu Xunhuan truly were family. Her dream of being the real heiress had been completely shattered.

Yu Xunge simply stood in the corner and rested with her eyes closed. After Han Qianhai left, she waited a while longer. Once she was sure Han Qianshan had fallen asleep, she gave her a Fainting Blow.

After all, passing out in one's sleep was different from passing out while awake. In the former case, she would only suspect that she slept like a pig; in the latter, she would remember it when she woke up the next day.

Since Tomato's rules would not allow it, she could only steal some attributes and equipment.

Yu Xunge stayed in B City for a week. When the DNA results came back, the similarity between the disguised strand and her real strand was only 99.5%. That was basically the DNA similarity between two strangers. It seemed that she would not need to deliberately wear a swim cap when using her disguise skill in the future.

During that time, Yu Xunge had not been idle either. Every night, rain or shine, she went to the Han family.

She swore that from now on, she would be a good person! No more causing trouble or messing with people. She would study seriously!!

Then, the moment she arrived at the airport, she saw Yu Xunhuan waiting outside to pick her up...

Yu Xunge: "..."

Sometimes, she truly admired Yu Xunhuan's dedication to service.

No wonder he could make three women fight over him.

She had only said yesterday at noon that she would return today, but what about Yu Xunhuan? He had a little stubble on his face, weariness in his eyes mixed with a glimmer of light, and a cold M breakfast still in his hand...

The details. Every last one of them screamed, "I don't know what time your flight arrives, but I came to the airport early to wait for you."

No, could you not just ask what time I'd arrive?!
