Volume 5, Chapter 16 – Uninvited Guests at Home

Moving bricks is undoubtedly not an easy job for ordinary people.

But for an evil god young lady with well-developed limbs, a simple mind, and absurdly great strength, it was the most suitable work possible. (Bai Lianyue: Awoo!! What did you say!! Believe it or not, I’ll eat you!)

After all, the entire process only required emptying one’s mind and working hard to move bricks, cement, sandbags, and the like around the construction site.

And while the evil god young lady’s head was often muddled, her strength… was certainly considerable.

So this job was quite suitable for the evil god young lady.

However, even so, the evil god young lady’s employment didn’t last very long…

…

At this moment, as Bai Lianyue’s door opened, the dust-covered and dirty-looking Bai Lianyue slowly returned to her room. Not only did she look disheveled, but the girl’s exquisite little face clearly displayed the words ‘unhappy,’ pouting with a resentful expression.

Wuu wuu wuu…

“Mean contractor!! I was doing so well, why did you fire me?! Too much!”

While angrily cursing the bald man from the construction site, Bai Lianyue gloomily took off her dirty jacket, preparing to take a bath to soothe her emotions.

Along with her gloom, the evil god young lady’s emerald pupils were filled with confusion.

After all, she still couldn’t figure out why she had been laid off.

She, who possessed unlimited stamina, had clearly worked very hard! And to avoid frightening her fellow workers, the evil god young lady had also limited her strength usage, only using power equivalent to two workers, which shouldn’t have scared anyone, right?

Even doing all that, why still…?

The evil god tilted her head, completely puzzled.

Compared to the bewildered Bai Lianyue, the phone peeking out from her pants pocket—that is, the White Horizon Sword—had a very clear understanding of the situation.

——”Stupid blockhead Bai…”——

The truth was actually simple. Although Bai Lianyue could do the work of two people alone, this master of his was simply too beautiful. When she went to work at the construction site… most of the surrounding workers and nearby passersby directly gathered around to watch the beauty move bricks, directly causing work efficiency to plummet greatly, naturally dissatisfying the contractor.

Additionally, the contractor, who didn’t know Bai Lianyue’s true situation, obviously couldn’t bear to continue letting such a delicate, fine-skinned girl with slender arms and legs toil at the construction site.

If something happened, that would be bad.

Thus, his master had unsurprisingly been fired after working for just half a morning…

His stupid master was clearly a girl now, yet had not the slightest bit of a girl’s self-awareness…

Sigh.

Watching Bai Lianyue, who remained completely clueless about why she’d been dismissed, the White Horizon Sword silently sighed.

However, this sword had no intention of going to explain things to Bai Lianyue.

After all, watching his master get confused seemed like pretty decent entertainment, didn’t it?

…

On the other side, the evil god young lady continued muttering and complaining while silently opening the refrigerator. Upon seeing that the refrigerator was still completely empty, the hungry Bai Lianyue immediately felt an impulse to eat the entire refrigerator.

Thinking about it carefully, if she wasn’t pursuing taste and just wanted to fill her stomach, there were quite a lot of things Bai Lianyue could eat.

An evil god’s stomach could digest almost anything.

Even steel and concrete were no different from mashed potatoes in front of her.

However, just as Bai Lianyue was frowning and seriously considering whether to gnaw on the refrigerator, the evil god young lady’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“Whumu?”

Almost at the same moment, a robust figure appeared behind Bai Lianyue, delivering a hand chop to the girl’s neck without any mercy.

——”Whack!!!”——

Under the heavy blow, Bai Lianyue suddenly collapsed to the ground.

…

“Is this her?”

After Bai Lianyue ‘fainted,’ a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing black gloves and exuding a somewhat bandit-like aura, pushed open the apartment door and step by step entered the living room, coming to the blue-haired girl’s side.

Faced with the man’s question, the young man who had attacked earlier nodded solemnly:

“Yes, Lord Bai Chengwu. She should be that hidden daughter-in-law of the Yu family. All the physical characteristics match. So… how should we handle her now?”

The young man asked respectfully.

Clearly, the people who had appeared in Bai Lianyue’s home were none other than members of the Bai family executing a search mission in Xiwan City.

Regarding his subordinate’s inquiry, Bai Chengwu didn’t answer immediately, but instead thoughtfully examined the girl on the ground.

He had come to Xiwan City primarily to search for that elf girl with special abilities, and his presence here was purely due to his elder brother Bai Bin’s request.

Bai Bin’s idea was straightforward—he planned to use Yu Qiuyuan’s daughter-in-law to send a warning to the Yu family, forcing them to abandon their series of investigations into the Bai family.

Bai Chengwu somewhat disdained his brother’s approach; he was quite contemptuous of the idea of taking action against a defenseless pregnant woman.

But since it was the family head’s order, he couldn’t disobey. He could only steel himself and come here.

However, as his examination continued, while being amazed by the blue-haired girl’s beauty, Bai Chengwu also noticed something amiss.

“Strange?”

“What is it, Lord Bai Chengwu?”

“Wasn’t the information from our inside source that… Yu Qiuyuan had a pregnant daughter-in-law? Even if she had just gotten pregnant before Yu Xiao’s death, it’s been over a year now, right? Even if she’s copying Nezha’s mother ¹ Nezha (哪吒) is a famous character from Chinese mythology and classical literature (particularly “Journey to the West” and “Investiture of the Gods”). According to the legend, Nezha’s mother had an extraordinarily long pregnancy – she carried him for three years and six months before giving birth, which was considered miraculous even by mythological standards. with a three-year pregnancy, her belly shouldn’t only be slightly bulging, right?”

“Huh?”

Being told this, the subordinate also became puzzled. After carefully looking at the blue-haired girl’s face, the subordinate muttered in confusion:

“Hmm? Looking at the photo, it’s not wrong, though? Could that person have gotten the information wrong? Maybe she’s not pregnant with Yu Xiao’s child, but Yu Qiuyuan’s own? Such a beautiful daughter-in-law being taken over by her father-in-law after her husband’s death isn’t impossible.”

“The Yu family shouldn’t be that outrageous.”

“Who knows? Rich people all play pretty wild games, don’t they?”

…

Just as the two were puzzled and confused, another exclamation directly interrupted their thoughts, even drawing all of Bai Chengwu’s attention.

——”Eh?! This, this is a photo of Miss Xingwu?”——

Hmm? Xingwu?

“You mean Bai Xingwu?”

The moment he heard this name, Bai Chengwu’s pupils suddenly contracted. Unable to think about the blue-haired girl before him, he instead headed straight toward another subordinate standing in front of the living room wall. Then, following his subordinate’s stunned gaze, Bai Chengwu took in the exquisite photo wall.

“This, this is…??”

Really?

All photos of that girl Bai Xingwu?

From first grade elementary school to university entrance, every stage of growth was there… Besides Bai Xingwu’s photos, there were also photos of that man?

“This place… is Bai Xingwu’s home??”

Looking around, Bai Chengwu reached this surprising conclusion.

They’d come looking for the Yu family’s daughter-in-law, but ended up finding Bai Xingwu’s home instead?

What the hell was this?

Why would Yu Qiuyuan place his daughter-in-law in such a place?

The more he thought about it, the more confused Bai Chengwu became.

While Bai Chengwu was bewildered, the subordinate with golden highlights suddenly noticed an old photograph.

“Hmm?”

In the photo, a beautiful young woman was holding the young Bai Xingwu. The woman had gorgeous waist-length black hair with several strands of charming silver-pink mixed in.

Her face was sixty percent similar to Bai Xingwu’s, but she possessed completely different—or rather, extremely rare throughout the entire human world—pearl-like pink eyes.

Though he’d never met her, the blonde subordinate quickly guessed her identity.

“This person… would be Miss Bai Nuoyu, wouldn’t it??”

Hearing this, Bai Chengwu was slightly stunned, then also focused his gaze on that photograph.

Looking at the woman in the photo, Bai Chengwu actually felt a wave of sadness.

“Second Sister…”
