“Beep, beep—”
The ringing of the call echoed.
Si Fuqing’s calm reaction was completely unexpected for the Shen family’s evolved beings.
The middle-aged man noticed her actions and found them amusing. “Who are you calling? Your agent? Or the big sponsor who provides your resources in the entertainment industry? Do you even know what an evolved being is?”
The mutated genes granted them evolution abilities, making them god-like figures in front of ordinary people.
No matter who Si Fuqing was calling, it wouldn’t help her.
He was rather curious to see who she could possibly summon.
The middle-aged man stood back leisurely, not bothering to stop her.
“Beep!”
On the third ring, the call was answered.
“Hello?”
“Mm, it’s me.” Si Fuqing spoke slowly, “I’m at the entrance of the town, can’t walk anymore. Come out and pick me up. I’m wearing a navy blue coat; you’ll spot me right away.”
Odile was silent for a moment. “You can’t walk anymore?”
Si Fuqing, in a matter-of-fact tone, replied, “Correct.”
“Are you disabled?” Aurelia asked, sipping her coffee as she began walking outside. “If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind helping you out.”
She was becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person Si Fuqing really was.
Could it be that she had a hidden disability?
Odile soon arrived at the town’s entrance, scanning the area until she finally spotted the navy blue coat Si Fuqing had mentioned.
The face she saw was surprisingly young.
It felt like she had seen it somewhere before.
Odile adjusted her sunglasses and approached, just about to speak when the girl suddenly squatted down.
Si Fuqing hugged her knees, pointing a finger at the middle-aged man, her voice small and filled with accusation. “They bullied me and even said you wouldn’t care about me.”
Odile stared at her for a moment, processing this unexpected meeting. She slowly turned her head in the thickening tension of the atmosphere.
Her long, platinum blonde hair was tied up high, revealing her fair neck, her figure typical of a Westerner—slim and graceful.
She was a beautiful woman with a slim waist and long legs, even though her robe concealed most of her body, her figure was still evident.
People often remembered her figure more than her face.
Now, she removed her sun hat and sunglasses, allowing her face to be fully exposed to the sunlight.
The middle-aged man’s expression instantly changed. The smile on his lips froze, his pupils contracted violently, and his voice trembled. “O-O-O...”
Si Fuqing blinked her fox-like eyes and said, “Quick, beat him up! He just called you ‘Oreo’!”@@@@
Odile finished her coffee and clapped her hands with a smile. “Oh? Is that so?”
“Thud!”
The overwhelming aura of a Super Class A evolved being burst forth. The middle-aged man’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
The Class C evolved beings he had brought along were even less capable of resisting this absolute bloodline pressure, falling into a deep coma within seconds.
“...”
An awkward silence fell over the scene.
Si Fuqing remained unruffled. “I swear I’m telling the truth. How could I bear to lie to you?”
After a long, long pause, Aurelia finally raised her hand, giving her a thumbs up. “That’s impressive.”
Si Fuqing lazily replied, “Just average, third in the world.”
“Alright, you focus on your filming. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Odile put her sunglasses back on. “I’m on vacation anyway. I’ll pay a visit to the Shen family. By the way, what did they do to you?”
Si Fuqing thought for a moment. “They wanted me to bear children for them, to be a good wife and mother.”
Odile imagined the scene and shuddered involuntarily, her expression turning cold. “No way, I can’t stand that.”
Daydreaming in broad daylight!
“Oh, and take this.” Si Fuqing handed over the sachet. “Keep it with you to stabilize your bloodline.”
Odile took the sachet, her eyes glinting. “I owe you my life once again.”
Though they hadn’t met in person before, they had encountered each other in “Eternity”.
Back then, Odile had been gravely injured and on the brink of death, trapped in Abyss Mode, where dying meant true death.
It was Si Fuqing who had saved her by chance, healing all her wounds, even the old ones.
She had even broken through the bottleneck that had trapped her for so long.
But then Si Fuqing suddenly disappeared—for four years.
Odile had searched for her but to no avail.
She hadn’t expected their first real meeting to be under such circumstances.
“No need to be so formal.” Si Fuqing waved her hand dismissively. “Just beat up people for me when I need it.”
“No problem.” Odile’s tone was relaxed. “What’s the name of the show you’re filming? I’ll check it out later.”
“Crossing the Demon Realm,” Si Fuqing replied. “Thanks for boosting the viewership.”
Odile made a mental note of it, and after a few more words, they finally parted ways.

Meanwhile, at the Shen family’s residence.
It was dinnertime, and the family was gathered around the table.
“It’s been a whole day. Why aren’t they back yet?” The head of the Shen family frowned. “All they had to do was bring someone back from the northern border. How could it take so long?”
The young master of the Shen family was unconcerned. “They were probably delayed on the way. After all, she’s a big star, probably a bit delicate.”
The family head nodded. “I’m not particularly fond of her, but if you like her, that’s fine. With her status, she could never be your wife, so just have your fun. If you get bored, you can pass her on to another family.”
His son would eventually have to marry an evolved being to produce purer offspring.
The young master’s eyes gleamed with greed as he thought of the photos the Ye family had sent over. “I think I’ll be entertained for quite some time.”
Last year, he had caught a distant glimpse of the eldest daughter of the In family and had been awestruck by her beauty. He hadn’t expected there to be someone even more beautiful.
“Let’s eat first.” The family head said, “We’ll call them later to check where they are.”
He had just picked up his chopsticks when the front door was knocked on, the sound rhythmic and deliberate.
The young master’s face lit up with excitement, and he jumped up eagerly. “I’ll get it!”
It must be his bodyguards bringing Si Fuqing back. He was ready to have his fun right now.
