No one knows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman stared into Qing Shu’s eyes and spoke slowly: “If you want to avoid disaster, the best thing is to obey me without question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu took a deep breath: “I’ll listen! I’ll do exactly as you say, Sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced a smile, helped the purple-clad woman sit back down, then asked: “Sister, what should I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who exactly have you offended lately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” Qing Shu’s face flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman’s eyes held a hint of mockery: “Hmph. Do you not remember, or have you swindled so many people you’ve lost count?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-not that many… And I’m careful—even if I cheated a bit, ordinary people wouldn’t notice…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me everything!” the purple-clad woman snapped, furious at her brother’s greed and stupidity. “If you want to avoid disaster, recount every single thing you’ve done recently—every last one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t hide a single thing! If you omit even one, and we miss the real clue, I won’t be able to save you when they kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though embarrassed, Qing Shu, after her stern warning, finally spoke up reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few moments, he revealed three recent “businesses” where he had swindled money through deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman listened without expression, coldly saying: “Keep going. I don’t believe that’s all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… there’s one more—Master Fang Da Hai.” Qing Shu looked nervously at his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman frowned, glaring at Qing Shu: “Master Fang? What did you do to him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I performed a ritual for him—in his, uh, that haunted house. You know the one, Sister.” Qing Shu’s voice grew weaker as he spoke, his guilt mounting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know! When Master Fang bought that haunted house, I was the one who performed the ritual to cleanse it! What I want to know is this: I cleared away all the yin and malevolent energy! Why, out of the blue, did he ask you to perform another ritual there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu’s face turned red; his eyes darted away nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman fixed him with a piercing stare: “Last month, Master Fang came to me—he said the year-end was near and wanted me to prepare some small blessing charms to give as gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was tied up with affairs in the northern prefecture and couldn’t help him, so I thought: making small blessing charms is simple enough—you could handle it. That’s why I referred him to you… What exactly did you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was summoned to handle affairs in the northern prefecture and couldn’t break away, so I thought making a small blessing offering would be something you could easily agree to—that’s why I introduced General Fang to you… What exactly did you do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak!” The purple-clad woman’s face was icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…” Qing Shu’s face tightened, flushed crimson, then bowed his head and whispered: “I saw the blessing charms were a small business, not profitable enough. Master Fang looked rich, so I… I… slipped him a little trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A little trick?” The purple-clad woman laughed bitterly. “Brother, you’re being modest. What exactly did you do to Master Fang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I gave him a box of the [Bone-Burning Incense] I made myself…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….” The purple-clad woman’s face turned ashen. She glared at Qing Shu in fury. After a long silence, her voice trembled with rage as she bit out: “Fine! Brother, you really know how to make money! So you gave Master Fang the Bone-Burning Incense—he lit it, and naturally, the resentment affected him, causing him to suffer minor illnesses and misfortunes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then you pretended it was the haunted house’s doing, tricked him into paying you again to perform another ritual?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother, your methods are truly brilliant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman sneered a few times, then suddenly stilled, fixing Qing Shu with a cold, piercing gaze: “Brother, I know you’re greedy. You cheat people and feel no guilt—you’ve always been like this with outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I want to ask you: when you used this trick on Master Fang, did you ever consider it might affect me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu stayed silent, head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Fang was introduced to you by me. If he uncovers your trick, he’ll turn against me too. Have you thought of that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if your trick is clever and he remains fooled—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet you told him his misfortunes were caused by the haunted house, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that haunted house—I was the one who purified it originally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re my brother, yet you told him my ritual was poorly done. Where does that leave me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman took a deep breath: “I once thought you were greedy and heartless toward others, but at least you respected and considered me, your little sister. I never imagined that before money, you’d treat even me the same—selling me out without a second thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in purple said this, then took a deep breath: “I once thought you might be greedy and unscrupulous toward others, but at least you’d show respect and consideration for your junior sister. I never expected that, before money, you’d treat everyone equally—even sell out your own little sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she rushed toward the teahouse door, Qing Shu scrambled after her, fell to his knees, and grabbed the hem of her qipao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu shouted loudly: “Sister! Sister! I’m wrong!! I’m wrong!! Please, you must save me!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You!” The purple-clad woman, caught by her skirt, dared not pull away for fear of tearing it, so she stopped, coldly ordering: “Let go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Sister, only you can save me now! I swear this is the last time! Brother truly regrets it! I—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman’s skirt was tugged; a flush rose on her face. She stamped her foot: “Let go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Sister, show me the way out!” Qing Shu pleaded pitifully—he was truly terrified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man’s greatest shield in his scams had always been this sister, whom he saw as immensely powerful. If even she abandoned him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, she’d said the opponent had merely summoned a bit of yin energy to attract snakes, insects, and rodents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they’d used blood-evil energy instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if there was another step coming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman narrowed her eyes, studying Qing Shu for a moment, then took a slow, deep breath and bit out: “Let go… first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in purple frowned at Uncle Qing for a moment, then slowly exhaled and gritted her teeth: “You… let go first, then talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu finally released his grip. The purple-clad woman turned and walked back to sit at the tea table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue. What else did you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, really, that’s all now.” Qing Shu shook his head quickly. “I swear, this time it’s truly all—during your absence, I only did the three things I just told you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman looked at the purple bruises on Qing Shu’s forehead: “What happened to your face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… some people came after me—sent a few thugs to ambush me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman sneered: “Good! I bet someone saw through your trick and sent people to beat you. Do you really think everyone here is a fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You like swindling the rich because they spend freely—but don’t you realize? When powerful people catch you, their revenge is far more brutal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu dared not argue, only bowed repeatedly, begging for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman closed her eyes, thinking: “The master behind this move is hidden. To resolve this, you must make peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make peace? But we need to find out who did this first, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t find them.” The purple-clad woman sneered. “They’re hidden among them. Since you can’t find them, you must make peace with everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t find him,” the woman in purple sneered. “He’s definitely hiding among them. Since you can’t find him, eliminate them all to quell the matter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the money you swindled from the cases you just described—return it all tomorrow. Say your skills are insufficient, you dare not accept payment. Return every cent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu froze: “All of it? That’s a lot—three cases, tens of thousands! I’ve already lost so much recently…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman sneered: “If you’d rather have money than your life, go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu grimaced: “Fine… I’ll return the money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-clad woman continued slowly: “As for Master Fang—I’ll go meet him myself. I’ll handle the compensation. You’ll pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shu dared not refuse and nodded reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the assault case.” The purple-clad woman paused. “Go tomorrow and drop the charges. Settle privately. I’m certain someone you swindled sent those thugs out of anger. Resolve this too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s unnecessary!” Qing Shu protested. “A few thugs beating me up—versus a master using occult arts against me—they’re clearly different! They’re not the same people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, I understand we must fear the hidden master—I’m willing to endure it! But those three brats? Just lowlife thugs! Can’t I even get some revenge? Didn’t you see how they humiliated me? They cut off my hair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qing Shu’s indignation, the purple-clad woman realized she couldn’t push him further. She shook her head: “Fine. Let you handle that one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose again: “Brother, it’s late. I’m leaving now. From now on, watch yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Uncle Qing’s bitter resentment, the woman in purple realized she couldn’t push him too far; she shook her head: “Fine, let you handle this matter as you wish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning, Chen Yan woke up, sat on the bed, and stared blankly for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively pinched his fingers and calculated his fortune with qi and yun numbers—finding nothing unusual—he got up to wash up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the luxurious master bedroom, he walked downstairs to the first-floor living room—and saw a graceful female figure seated cross-legged on the sofa, meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spine was straight, her long neck and back forming a single line. Thick black hair was braided into a single plait resting to one side. Her hands rested flat on her knees, palms up, fingers forming a mudra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her silhouette, Chen Yan’s scalp prickled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit… he still found this absurd—how had he ended up with a mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa had underfloor heating; the room was warm as spring. Gu Qingyi wore no thick cotton coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she wore only a thin cashmere sweater, snug against her body—her curves clearly outlined from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan carefully averted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore only a thin cashmere sweater, tightly fitted, and from behind, her figure’s curves were rendered utterly alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help mentally groaning: What the hell kind of situation is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thought it was an arranged childhood marriage—turns out she’s my dead father’s lawful wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she’s this beautiful… and now she lives with me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of tropes are these?! Look at this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepmother, widow, beautiful woman, cohabiting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doesn’t look like a normal story—it’s racing straight toward some hentai route!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of sick author could write such a ridiculous plot?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked nothing like a proper story—it was clearly racing headlong toward some kind of hentai route!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【PS: Yeah, when I lose my mind, I even curse myself…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[PS: Yes, when I lose control, I even curse myself...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>·\u003C\u002Fp>",1900,"2026-06-20T00:04:18.515Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d46ab2aff08c7301ade83d457dcea442e17353d9d5af5b34711d41959f3d02ac","just-stop-using-your-divine-powers-chapter-56","just-stop-using-your-divine-powers-chapter-54",174,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-stop-using-your-divine-powers-cover.jpg"]
