Yang Qingxi imdiately snorted coldly in dissatisfaction and turned her face away.
Su Mo almost laughed upon seeing her reaction.
Miss Yang really was becoming increasingly fun to tease lately.
Soon afterwards, the demonic servants left one after another to carry out their respective missions.
The basent gradually quieted down again.
Little Goldie was still happily "cleaning up" nearby.
Crunch.
Crunch.
The giant golden beetle looked extrely excited while devouring the remaining monster corpses.
Dark blood splattered everywhere.
Honestly, the scene was horrifying enough to traumatise ordinary people for life.
Yet Su Mo rely nodded in satisfaction.
"Little Goldie."
The beetle imdiately raised its head happily.
"Take your ti eating."
"Co back after cleaning everything properly."
Little Goldie chirped excitedly.
Yang Qingxi: "..."
She genuinely didn’t know whether "cleaning" was the correct word for this bloody massacre.
Soon, the two slowly left the basent together.
The atmosphere upstairs felt significantly warr compared to the cold underground prison.
Soft lights illuminated the hallway quietly while faint sounds from the servants could occasionally be heard from a distance.
As they approached the living hall, Su Mo suddenly paused slightly. His brows lifted faintly.
"...Looks like we have a guest. There’s an unfamiliar aura inside."
However, he completely failed to notice that the mont Yang Qingxi sensed that familiar presence...
Her body stiffened slightly.
Even her calm expression subtly changed.
The reaction was extrely brief.
Yet, for perhaps the first ti in a long while, a trace of tension actually appeared within Miss Yang’s beautiful eyes.
Su Mo remained unaware as he was still casually walking forward while wondering, " Who might this guest be?
---
When Su Mo and Yang Qingxi entered the living hall, what greeted them was a surprisingly warm scene.
Sunlight quietly poured through the windows while the faint aroma of tea lingered in the air.
At the centre of the hall, Li i sat on the couch wearing a cute little frock while seriously staring at a chessboard.
Opposite her sat the mysterious female guest.
"You’re really good, Little i."
The elegant woman smiled gently while moving a chess piece.
Li i puffed her cheeks proudly.
"I only learned this ga a few days ago."
"Really?!"
The woman widened her eyes exaggeratedly.
"Then you might actually be a genius!"
"So amazing!"
Her tone instantly beca strangely childish and dramatic.
"Hehe~"
Li i imdiately beca happy from the praise and couldn’t stop smiling.
anwhile, Su Mo’s attention had already completely shifted toward the female guest.
Then, he froze slightly.
The woman was undeniably beautiful.
However, that wasn’t what shocked him.
What truly stunned him... were her facial features.
They looked extrely similar to Yang Qingxi’s.
Nope. Not just similar, but almost identical.
Su Mo subconsciously turned toward Miss Yang beside him. Then asked seriously:
"Since when did you have a twin sister?"
"Why didn’t you ntion it before?"
At this mont, Su Mo’s curiosity genuinely exploded.
Because there was absolutely no such character in the original story. Not even a ntion of it.
[Could this be another deviation caused by the mixed plot setting?]
anwhile, Yang Qingxi rely rolled her eyes helplessly.
She honestly looked too tired to explain.
At the sa ti, Su Mo’s words naturally attracted attention.
Li i imdiately brightened.
"Uncle Brother—"
Su Mo instantly shot her a dangerous glare.
"What did you promise earlier?"
Li i shrank slightly.
"...Brother."
"Hm."
Only then did Su Mo nod in satisfaction.
"Good. Rember it properly."
He snorted softly before finally looking toward the elegant woman again.
At this mont, she was also quietly observing him with obvious interest.
Especially after watching his interaction with Li i.
After several seconds, she suddenly chuckled softly.
"Fufu~"
"What a sweet young man."
Then she slowly stood up from the couch and walked toward him gracefully.
"So you’re Su Mo."
"I’ve heard quite a lot about you already."
Su Mo imdiately laughed confidently.
"Hahaha, it’s nothing."
After all, his excellence being recognised was completely natural.
Still, he honestly felt slightly surprised. He didn’t expect Miss Yang’s supposed "twin sister" to already know about his excellence.
However, the next second, her tone suddenly changed slightly.
"Especially your late-night visits to my daughter’s room."
"...."
Su Mo’s laughter froze instantly.
His brain stopped functioning for a mont.
Daughter? Whose daughter?
His pupils shrank.
At this mont, Su Mo finally understood why Yang Qingxi looked so strange earlier.
[Wait.]
[This is Miss Yang’s mother?! What’s with this accusation?]
Cold sweat almost ford on his back.
His scalp instantly tingled.
"No—"
Su Mo imdiately raised both hands in panic.
"You misunderstood!"
The elegant woman narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Oh?"
"Are you denying responsibility?"
The pressure instantly increased.
Su Mo nearly exploded on the spot.
"No! I an, yes! No—wait—"
His usually smooth brain completely malfunctioned.
"I’m not denying anything! Please listen to !"
"We really haven’t done anything!"
The more he explained, the guiltier he sounded.
At this point, he genuinely resembled so suspicious criminal caught sneaking around at midnight.
Yang Qingxi silently facepald nearby.
She honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or feel embarrassed.
Usually, Su Mo remained calm no matter what happened.
Criminals? Monsters? Cultivators?
Nothing could faze him.
Yet now, just facing her mother for a few seconds. This man looked more nervous than when fighting enemies.
’For heaven’s sake...’
Yang Qingxi’s lips twitched slightly.
’Did you forget you’re a Golden Core cultivator?’
’My mother is literally just an ordinary person.’
’Why are you acting like a frightened rabbit seeing a tiger?’
’How embarrassing.’
Naturally, she completely ignored the fact that she herself had remained unusually quiet ever since entering the room.
As a Foundation Establishnt cultivator... wasn’t she also subconsciously nervous?
anwhile, Li i watched the entire scene with sparkling eyes.
This was the first ti she had ever seen Su Mo panic this badly.
Usually, Uncle Brother bullied everyone confidently. He even bullied her, forcing her to study those books.
Now soone finally bullied him back.
Amazing! This pretty lady must be extrely powerful.
