Chapter 73: Sister! Did Boiling Water Burn Your Face?

The surge of power from the system upgrade surged through his body; Qin Feng could even clearly "internally observe" the newly opened, roughly ten-cubic-meter 【Micro Ecological Space】, where time flowed slowly and faint life energy lingered. Yet he had no time to savor these new abilities—a sharp unease, like a cold spiderweb, instantly seized his heart.

This unease did not come from within himself, but from a faint tremor deep in his Bloodline—linked to his only living relative, his sister Qin Yu!

Since their parents died in an accident years ago, he and his sister Qin Yu had relied on each other for survival. Qin Yu was still attending university abroad, lively and cheerful, the softest corner of Qin Feng's heart. He had secretly arranged guards and given her protective items. But under the influence of 【Persistent Bad Luck】, any protection could fail!

"System, scan my sister Qin Yu's real-time status!" Qin Feng gave the order without hesitation, activating the newly unlocked 【Scan Analysis】 function. He could not directly locate or see her, but the system might analyze her life state through some unseen connection.

【Ding! Scanning target: Qin Yu (blood relative). Scanning…】

【Target vital signs: Stable, but undergoing intense emotional fluctuation.】

【Detected localized high-temperature burn marks on target's facial area, with minor tissue damage. Injury level: Minor.】

【Detected target's surrounding environment: Inside university campus, near female dormitory building.】

【Associated event analysis: The subject suffered intentional harm (being doused with hot liquid), accompanied by persistent verbal abuse and public onlookers.】

"Pouring hot liquid? Verbal abuse?" Qin Feng's gaze instantly dropped to ice; the air in the chamber seemed to freeze! A chilling killing intent spread uncontrollably—colder and more profound than any he'd felt before against business rivals or curses!

The wound was on his sister's face! What did this mean for a girl in the prime of her youth?!

Those scum!

He could already picture the scene: his sister helplessly clutching her face, surrounded by crowds laughing with glee or watching coldly, and those cruel words…

"Immediately retrieve the video footage from the incident! Lock down every person involved!" Qin Feng's voice was eerily calm, yet the storm within it could destroy everything. He didn't know if the Level 3 system could do this—but he had to know!

【Command confirmed. Retroactive scan requires additional points and relies on residual environmental data… Deducting points… Reconstructing information…】

In an instant, a blurry but clear enough video fragment appeared in Qin Feng's mind like a holographic projection:

On a shaded path of the university campus, Qin Yu carried books, laughing and chatting with two roommates as they walked toward the dormitory. Suddenly, three stylishly dressed, heavily made-up girls rushed out from the side and blocked her path. The leader, wearing a Chanel suit and carrying a designer bag, wore undisguised jealousy and malice as she pointed at Qin Yu and shouted: "... You think you're so special just because your brother has some money? Always acting so pure and aloof! Why don't you act that way when you're seducing Senior Chen?"

Qin Yu turned pale with rage and retorted: "What are you talking about?! I was only discussing coursework with Senior Chen!"

"Discussing coursework? Discussing until he walked you back to your dorm?" the girl sneered, drawing laughter from her companions. She grew more agitated, snatched a thermos from one of her friends, twisted open the lid, and hurled its contents straight at Qin Yu's face! "I'll make sure that face of yours can't seduce anyone again!"

Though Qin Yu instinctively twisted aside, scalding boiling water still splashed onto her left cheek and neck, instantly reddening the skin. She cried out in pain, dropping her books to the ground, clutching her face as her body trembled from pain and fury. A crowd of onlookers quickly gathered, pointing and whispering, yet no one stepped forward.

The girl who poured the water, far from showing remorse, grew even more triumphant, arms crossed, mocking loudly in the most insulting tone: "Oh, Sister! Did boiling water burn your face? Afraid it'll scar? How will you make a living off your looks now? Hahaha!"

The cruel laughter echoed sharply through the footage.

The footage ended.

Boom—!

Qin Feng's inner power surged wildly, the 【Alloy Wall】 of the chamber groaning under unbearable strain. Veins bulged on his forehead; his eyes no longer held coldness, but blazing, annihilating fury!

"Good." He forced out two words through clenched teeth, voice low as a demon's whisper from the abyss.

He memorized the face of the girl who poured the water, memorized her malicious laughter, memorized every sneering, indifferent face in the crowd!

Sister—his forbidden point!

This was no simple campus bullying! Under the influence of 【Persistent Bad Luck】, an incident that might have been stopped early or ended with lesser humiliation had been amplified, catalyzed, and precisely struck the person Qin Feng cared about most!

New grudges and old hatreds ignited fully in this moment!

He would waste not another second.

"System, exchange the most efficient healing serum and teleport it directly to Qin Yu's side—deliver anonymously!" He first ensured his sister received the fastest, best possible treatment—no scars allowed.

【Ding! 800 points consumed; exchanged for one vial of 【Cellular Regeneration Serum (Special)】. Activating fixed-point micro-spatial delivery… Delivery successful. Confirmed that the target has received and used it.】

With system confirmation, Qin Feng exhaled slightly—but his killing intent remained unyielding.

He stepped forward, his form like a phantom, instantly appearing at the chamber door. The heavy 【Alloy Wall】 gate slid open silently.

Outside, Ros and the guards felt the unhidden, tangible terror radiating from Qin Feng—they shuddered instinctively and bowed: "Boss!"

Qin Feng didn't even look at them. He walked out, voice as cold as Siberian wind:

"Prepare the car. Head to the airport."

"Notify the 【Shadow Guards】 there—before I arrive, keep every single person under surveillance!"

"Not one of them gets away!"

Ros froze, then answered sharply: "Yes!"

Qin Feng sat in the car, watching the scenery blur past the window, his gaze deep as a hellish abyss.

Sister, Brother's coming.

Everyone who hurt you will pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

This endless 【Persistent Bad Luck】, and the shadow behind it—this time, you've truly angered me.
