Chapter 197

"Year?"

This year has caused quite a stir, with jokes, probing, and now even outright insults.

How could Na Xi not have noticed?

So Xi Yi turned her head and looked at Nian Shi, whose face looked like he was constipated—

"Hahahaha..." Nian seemed to have seen a ghost, and cautiously took a step back. "You're busy, you go ahead and do your thing, I won't bother you anymore, okay?"

With that, Nian took a few steps back and then ran away.

Nian urgently needed to convey the explosive news that "the Year Beast has come to life" and "the Year Beast is Divine Messenger" to Chongyue, Ling, and Shu.

If Nian hadn't run away, things would have been fine. If he hadn't run away, Xi would probably have just wondered why Nian had come knocking on her door so quickly. Isn't this Xi's territory?

But as soon as Nian ran away, Xi realized what was happening.

'Oh... this year, is it treating me like Year Beast?'

Xi looked down at the Year Beast on her wrist, then looked up again and said, "Stop."

As Xi spoke, the Year Beast on her wrist opened its mouth and cried out a few times.

Then, just as Nian was about to run away, she was horrified to discover that she couldn't move.

'This... this is... Words Becoming Prophecies?'

Seeing that Nian was not moving, Xi's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Nian.

Nian's small eyes widened. "Is this your sister's Entering Dreams?"

Finally, Xi waved her hand gently, and a sharp sword appeared out of thin air in her hand. "Why run? Nian."

Year:"..."

This is my casting ability...?

Looking at 'Xi' in front of him, he effortlessly unleashed the power of three powers with a mere gesture.

Almost instantly, Nian became certain that the 'Xi' in front of her was definitely the Year Beast, absolutely the Year Beast.

Therefore, feeling the continuous, bloodline-suppressing aura emanating from the other side,

Looking at 'Xi' in front of her, though her face was expressionless, she had already placed a sharp sword directly against her neck—

Will you admit defeat at the annual meeting?

Of course not!

Everything they did was to stop, fight, and defeat age.

If she admits defeat now, won't everything she did before become a joke?

Will we win?

We will win!

Then Nian was pinned to the ground.

Year:"???"

Not sisters?

Nian was completely stunned. She hadn't seen how 'Xi' made her move at all. By the time she came to her senses, she was already on the ground.

Xi, of course, wouldn't tell her that she had borrowed the 'Time Stop' ability from Centaurea...

It's not really a loan, it's more like a transaction.

Centaurea taught Xi how to use Time Stop, and Xi went to take Zofia away so that Chen Ran could have a good meal with her, so that Zofia wouldn't bother Centaurea every day with her lazy, good-for-nothing life.

Although the method Centaurea taught her... well, it was to go and act cute with Chen Ran.

What a joke! Xi is Fairy in the Painting, how could she possibly fawn over a lecherous man?

Time Stop is really useful.

Seeing Nian knocked to the ground, looking completely bewildered, Xi felt a surge of joy.

Oh, Nian, you inhuman sister, you've finally met your match!

Chapter 306 Xi: Yes, I am your mother from that year.

I'll teach you a lesson for being a jerk, for always bullying me before—

Although the Nian in front of us is from the normal Worldline, it actually has little to do with the Nian in the Year Beast resurrection timeline...

But it doesn't matter. In the normal Worldline, Nian must have bullied Xi in the normal Worldline as well. She'll just consider it revenge for her other self.

It's a pity that this Little Watermelon hasn't learned bad habits from Chen Ran yet.

Otherwise, given how Nian is sprawled out on the ground right now, I'd give him a slap, if not a kick, to see if this little rice cake-brand Ansai waist drum makes any noise.

Xi simply continued to play the role of someone aloof, cold, and detached from worldly affairs—which was actually just her true self.

Xi stood before Nian, gently lowering the sharp sword in her hand. "Just now, which hand did you intend to use to hit 'Mom'? Hmm?"

Although Xi doesn't acknowledge it and is unwilling to call Year Beast "Mom,"

But I have to admit, it's quite enjoyable to use this identity to intimidate others.

Sure enough, when Nian heard this title, he was dumbfounded again.

Mother?

Ah?

Wait a minute, although these twelve fragments were split off from your body, you Year Beast...

But if we're really being serious, shouldn't it be something like 'having the same roots'?

What the heck is "Mom"?

But Xi ignored her. Seeing that Nian was still in a daze, she placed the sharp sword in her hand next to Nian's right hand. "Is this the hand? Disobedient child, chop it off."

"Stop! Stop! Stop! I surrender! I surrender!"

Seeing that 'Xi' seemed to be serious, Nian immediately and decisively chose to surrender.

But this doesn't mean she chickened out, does it? Absolutely not.

The plan for the year is a long-term strategy; first, stabilize the situation at this "evening," and then start frantically recruiting more players.

Then--

If I can't beat you by myself, surely we can gang up on you as a group?

Patience!

This normal Worldline, although it has already taken its first step into space...

But to be honest, in the short term, interstellar travel is not really relevant to most ordinary people.

So the streets and alleys were still bustling with people and lively.

Right next to this teahouse, as the storyteller on stage slammed his gavel and shouted, "Last time we talked about—"

At the same time, Xi, who was sitting in the audience, also raised her hand.

So Nian quickly handed her a cup of tea, then ran behind Xi to massage her shoulders and legs.

Not only was he busy with all sorts of things this year, but he also said with a smile, "Little sister... oh no, little sister... do you think this strength is okay?"

"Hmm?" Xi took a sip of tea, then fed the Year Beast coiled around her wrist a little snack. "What should you call me?"

"A... Ama?" Nian called out tentatively.

Xi raised her forehead with satisfaction. "Hmm, good girl."

Year:"..."

Ugh, I really am...

Forget it, I can't beat them...

Although I don't want to cry out in years... I have lived for thousands of years, and suddenly I have a mother...

But forced by Xi's tyranny, Nian had no choice but to endure it.

Patience!

Okay, I can't hold back any longer.

Nian initially did intend to call for reinforcements, but then she reconsidered. What if the 'Xi' in front of her was truly Year Beast, and also held the title of 'Divine Messenger'...

Calling in more players is useless; no matter how many you call in, they're all just freebies.

Even if they were to miraculously defeat 'Xi', all 'Xi' would need to do is shout, 'You lecher! Help me!'

That's it.

Therefore, Nian was worried that Xi would cause trouble in the bustling city, so he had to appease her to avoid harming innocent people.

On the other hand, after spending time together, Nian discovered that although Xi was like an ice block, she was surprisingly similar to her younger sister in personality. They were both stern with their words but soft-hearted.

So Nian decided to stop enduring and instead offer herself up to the tiger. "Sui... cough, Mother, what are you planning to do here today, you famous 'Divine Messenger'?"

And you, old lady... hey, Mother, when you transform into human form, why do you look exactly like our youngest sister?

And there's more—"

Although they are sisters, unlike Xi, who is socially awkward, Nian is completely outgoing and friendly.

Finding that 'Xi' was easy to talk to, her little mouth started chattering non-stop.

As they tried to get closer to each other, they even started calling her "Mom" more and more naturally.

"Why am I in the shape of 'Xi'? Well, it's because I was the first one to eat 'Xi'."

Xi wasn't lying; in the Worldline where the Year Beast revived, that was indeed the process.

"And why am I here?" Xi glanced at Nian and said, "Naturally, I want to see if my children are behaving. If you bother me again, I'll eat you up too."

"Oh dear, Mother, what are you saying? That's impossible."

Nian wasn't afraid, but serving tea and water and massaging her shoulders and back were unavoidable. She coaxed Xi, saying, "Mom, you don't know, among all of us children, I'm the most well-behaved."

"Oh."

Xi snorted coldly, then lifted her leg again.

Seeing Nian smiling and quickly running to her, squatting down, and then starting to massage her,

Xi became increasingly satisfied.

So you've finally met your match.

I can't believe I've met my match.

Looking at Nian, who used to bully her but now had to fawn over her, Xi felt instantly happy.

Although Xi knew that she was just using someone else's power to intimidate others, what Nian was truly afraid of was actually the 'Year Beast', the 'Divine Messenger', or rather, Chen Ran standing behind her.

Just thinking about this made Xi unconsciously look up at the sky.

Don't let Xi's current aloofness and arrogant demeanor fool you; even Nian has to carefully curry favor with her.

But at the same time, there is a high probability... Xi felt that Chen Ran, that lecherous man, was probably playing with her life-size figure body at will right now.

The main selling point is the contrast between a person who appears aloof and expressionless in public, almost like they are sexually frigid, and who, in private, is so overwhelmed by their large breasts that they roll their eyes, stick out their tongues, and are filled with ○○.

Thinking of this, Xi suddenly became restless.

That lecherous fellow... is he in such a hurry to get rid of me? Could it be that he really just wants to play around like this?

Surely... no way?

No, that's not right!
