I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Wan and Zong Shichan felt as if they were long-lost sisters meeting for the first time and regretted not having known each other sooner.

Both of them were attractive and easily likable based on their appearances alone. Their compatible personalities and the connection through Xue Jing made them affectionately biased towards anything related to each other. It was like a perfect match.

"Hehehe~ When we were kids, Jing and I used to bet our pocket money on games; we agreed that welching on a bet meant you were a dog. When Jing lost and wouldn't pay up, he started barking at me~"

Xue Wan raised an eyebrow, a picture of pride as she recounted fun stories of her brother and her childhood to Zong Shichan.

"Eh, I never expected Master to be that kind of Master..." Zong Shichan's face displayed an expression of enlightenment.

Just then, Xue Jing's phone began to ring. Not interested in dealing with Xue Wan's tales of yesteryear for the moment, he checked the caller ID on his phone.

The note displayed 'Youqing A Dream'.

Quite rare, it was a call from his dear sister.

Xue Jing glanced disdainfully at the bad sister who was busy deceiving the young girl and took a few steps aside before pressing the answer button.

"Hello? BOSS." Xue Jing greeted with a smile.

Wu Youqing's serene and pleasant voice came through the handset: "Are you free right now?"

Xue Jing replied with a smile, "I am... Why, craving dorayaki? I'll go buy some for you."

Wu Youqing chuckled, "Stop it, just come over to my place if you're free."

Xue Jing agreed, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he put his phone back in his pocket.

He then stretched out two 'soul-sapping iron claws' and caught the heads of a tall and a short eavesdropper who had sneaked up behind him.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!! Woof, woof, woof, woof!"

"It hurts! Mercy, Master, have mercy!!"

Xue Wan and Zong Shichan, feeling as if their skulls were about to split from the pain, begged loudly for mercy.

Releasing them, Xue Jing asked with a speechless look, "What are you two doing?"

Rubbing her head and grimacing in pain, Xue Wan said,

"We weren't eavesdropping on your phone call, we just happened to walk up behind you!"

"Exactly, I can vouch for that!" Zong Shichan rubbed her head with one hand while raising the other to affirm.

"You'd better be." Xue Jing said flatly.

"So who's this woman that called you?" Xue Wan asked suspiciously.

"Have you forgotten what you just said in your previous sentence, you numbskull?" Xue Jing's lips twitched slightly.

...

After leaving the docks, Xue Jing hailed a taxi, first dropping off Xue Wan and Zong Shichan at their home.

He stayed in the car, asking the driver to take him to the entrance of Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School.

After paying with his phone as he got out of the taxi, since he was neither wearing a uniform nor carrying a student ID, he activated 'Aura Blockade.' He attracted no attention as he made his way to the Qing University Library and directly bypassed the blocking turnstile to the seventh floor.

Entering the old attic, Xue Jing saw the serene girl sitting alone on a wooden chair once again.

Today's Wu Youqing looked a bit different from usual. Instead of her perennially unchanged high ponytail, her hair now fell in black, straight locks. The front part was tied into three beautiful braids, each adorned with a snowflake, a heart, and a four-leaf clover hair clip.

Because it was quite refreshing, Xue Jing looked at her a few times more.

He walked up to Youqing and placed the white supermarket plastic bag onto the table.

The girl closed the hardcover book in her hands titled "Snake and Bird: Order and Dusk," her light purple, beautiful eyes looking towards the bag on the table, puzzled:

"What's this?"

Xue Jing opened the bag, revealing its contents, "Dorayaki."

He had specially asked the driver to stop when he saw the supermarket on the way, and went in to buy it.

Youqing: "..."

She lifted the thick hardcover book in her hands and lightly tapped Xue Jing on the head.

Xue Jing smiled and said, "Good sister, why did you change your hairstyle today?"

Youqing replied nonchalantly, "Just changing my mood occasionally."

As she spoke, she suddenly took out a matchbox from her embrace—it was the [GOD-1291·Little Girl's Matches].

Under Xue Jing's perplexed gaze, Youqing opened the matchbox, took out a match, and struck it against the side to light it.

The red and blue flames burned, casting their light on the girl's clean and elegant face.

Xue Jing asked, puzzled, "... You haven't really become addicted to this thing, have you, good sister?"

Could it be that even Youqing Buddha couldn't resist this top-grade ice?

"...No," Youqing shook her head.

Her gaze shifted slightly from Xue Jing and looked towards his left shoulder, her expression somewhat odd.

"Wow..."

Not knowing what she saw or heard, Youqing let out a sound of surprise.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked,

"Is it this little girl doing something to me?"

Youqing gave him a complex look and simply said lightly, "It's nothing."

After a pause, she continued,

"Jing, if you have a child in the future, don't spoil her too much."

"Otherwise..."

Xue Jing: "Huh?"

Youqing glanced to the side and hummed softly, dismissing it, "...It's nothing."

"Alright, I came to you today because I have something important to discuss."

"The U19 finals begin in six days, and the venue is Yuan City's 'Super Arena'."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing's eyes lit up, "Yuan City?"

One of the three major Inner Ring cities of the Fifth Urban Circle, Yuan City.

He had never visited an Inner Ring city since he was born, and it was said to be extremely developed, in comparison to which all the Outer Ring cities were nothing more than 'countryside'.

Speaking of which, he also had quite a connection with Yuan City, the main temple of the Dragon Cult that Miao Miao belongs to is currently located in Yuan City, and the man named Zhu Yingkun he killed during his first containment mission also hailed from Yuan City.
