Chapter 88

Su Xiao: 【Laughter】 SanYe's gone bad—now she's showing off in front of others. What did your father look like?

Miyamizu SanYe: Stunned 【image】 Father's mouth hung wide open—he was questioning reality.

Su Xiao: You killed me! You actually took a photo!

Amano Hina: Your father's so pitiful. After living for decades, he just learned the world has such mystical things.

Miyamizu SanYe: Hehe. Now Dad's made a plan—he's preparing to move to the school for a safety drill on the night the comet arrives.

Kasumigaoka Uta: Why not just move outright?

Miyamizu SanYe: Impossible. How could everyone just move because I said a comet's coming? Moving costs a fortune, and the people of Itomori aren't rich.

Yukinoshita Yuki: That's true. Besides, SanYe's still weak—she can't expose her cultivation base in front of outsiders. No one would believe a little girl.

Miyamizu SanYe: Yuki's right.

Zhang Taixuan: Looks like SanYe did well. By the way, if there's still trouble, just call your Taixuan brother. A comet? No big deal.

Miyamizu SanYe: Thank you, Taixuan brother—I feel so much safer now!

Zhang Taixuan: Hina, any problems on your end?

Su Xiao: @Huang Rong, come manage your man—he's about to evolve into a central air conditioner.

Huang Rong: Hehe, Taixuan brother's a god—I can't control him. Why don't you try?

Su Xiao: 【Blushing】 I could.

Yotsuya Miko: Miss Su, no—let me do it instead.

Su Xiao: Bold Yotsuya, you're competing with me?

Kasumigaoka Uta: Yotsuya's out—I'll do it!

Amano Hina: Today's so lively! Taixuan brother, I have no problems—I've earned enough points, so I'm not short on money anymore, and I don't worry about being underage and unable to find work.

Zhang Taixuan: Good. If anyone bullies you, tell us. There are so many of us in this group—we'll make them regret it.

Amano Hina: Mm. But no one would dare bully me—I'm already a Xiantian expert. Soon, I might even become a Tianren or a Land Immortal. Even if the U. S. fleet shows up, I can cut them down.

Su Xiao: So powerful! I never thought Hina was the most domineering one!

Amano Hina: I'm just talking! I'm a peace-loving person.

Yukinoshita Yuki: Nuclear peace, you mean?

As a Land Immortal, Yuki knew exactly how terrifying this realm was.

Though it was only city-destroying power.

But its mobility was extreme—it could ignore modern nuclear weapons.

In short, if they wanted, they could become ancestors in Japan without issue.

Miyamizu SanYe: 【Alert】

Amano Hina: Really not! 【Sobbing】

Zhang Taixuan: Enough teasing Hina. Even if she really had that thought, what's the big deal? The U. S. is too arrogant—this is righteous retribution.

Amano Hina: …

Yotsuya Miko: Taixuan brother, are you free? I've finished building the shrine!

Su Xiao: Already?!

Yotsuya Miko: Hehe, with money, efficiency naturally rises. Besides, most buildings in Japan are wood—once the foundation's solid, the wooden parts go up fast. 【image】 Is Taixuan brother satisfied?

Zhang Taixuan: Very beautiful.

Yotsuya Miko: Then when will Taixuan brother come to consecrate the shrine?

Su Xiao: Consecrate?

Kasumigaoka Uta: I've surfed on the mainland—this word "consecrate" sounds mysterious.

Kasumigaoka Uta: After consecrating the temple, will you also consecrate Yotsuya?

Yotsuya Miko: 【Blushing】 Kasumigaoka, you're being lewd again! You're a girl!

Yukinoshita Yuki: That's normal—the casual heroine version of Kasumigaoka always talks like this!

Kasumigaoka Uta: Hmph!

Su Xiao: Huh? Another Py transaction!

Miyamizu SanYe: Could Yotsuya really be…

Yotsuya Miko: Hmph, don't get the wrong idea—I'm just working part-time as a shrine maiden.

Miyamizu SanYe: Shrine maiden?! Isn't that like admitting it?

Kasumigaoka Uta: Shrine maiden? Isn't that someone who serves the gods?

Amano Hina: Yotsuya's really bold!

Yotsuya Miko: 【Proud】 I'm done chatting—I have to welcome Taixuan brother. He's already arrived.

Kasumigaoka Uta: 【Speechless】 Taixuan brother's really eager—he just slipped over without a word. @Huang Rong, manage your man.

Su Xiao: @Huang Rong, quickly manage your man.

Huang Rong: 【Shrug】 Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?

Su Xiao: 【Stunned】 You're off, Huang Rong—how can you allow your husband to take other women? Is this really the Huang Rong I know?

Kasumigaoka Uta: Yes, the young maiden Huang Rong would never do this. Has becoming a wife changed her so much?

Huang Rong: Are you reading too much? I'm a proper ancient maiden. This is how it's always been here.

Yukinoshita Yuki: 【Stunned】 I never thought you were like this, Huang Rong!

Ying Zheng: Isn't this normal? In each era, follow the laws and morals of that era.

Qian Gu Yi Di: Correct. Take heirs—modern times don't care, but in ancient times, lacking heirs meant your family's wealth could be seized. So ancient women would push their husbands to take concubines to ensure lineage and property. Modern people can't relate.

Yue Buqun: I deeply understand this. In fact, if I weren't a martial artist with strength, my junior sister would've forced me to take a concubine too.

Su Xiaoxiao: "【Scare】 Could it be that a strong woman like Heroine Ning also values family continuation?"

Yue Buqun: "Isn't that obvious? In our era, who doesn't value family continuation? I suspect that in your era, many people probably still value it too, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Well, that's true."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Indeed, the human heart is hard to change."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Same here on my end!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha: "Same."

Amano Hina: "Same."

Zhang Taixuan: "See? Don't take the original plot too seriously. Just like the absolutely correct Yukinoshita — isn't she now also salvaging ships?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Yukino, you're being mocked!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "It's not really mockery. As someone from a great clan, it's hard to shake off the responsibilities on one's shoulders! Being absolutely correct and such — it really is hard to achieve."

Zhang Taixuan: "Absolute correctness never existed in the first place. Yukino, don't take it to heart either. It's down — Miko's here."

Su Xiaoxiao: "How hateful — forgetting friends at the sight of a beauty."
