Mo Xifeng's weakness —-2Mo Qiang's smile caused Yin Fu to shiver slightly but he did not dare to run as he nodded his head and then stood aside for Mo Qiang to step inside his room. Because he too wished for their relationship to turn better, he did not refuse her suggestion and simply followed her inside as Mo Qiang walked inside the room.



With Yin Fu standing on the side, Mo Qiang stepped into the room which belonged to her husbands for the third time as she looked around the entire space before heading to the corner which was filled with law books. Her eyes fell on the tab- books which were neatly stacked in the cabinet made of transparent glass-like sheets and then turned to Yin Fu who was following her and asked, " Are you studying law?"

" Oh yes," Yin Fu was stunned when he heard Mo Qiang question him about his studies all of a sudden, one had to know that ever since the two of them married Mo Qiang had never paid attention to him, even on the night of their wedding, she went to bed and closed her eyes to sleep without even saying a word to him.

Thus, he could not help but be surprised when he saw that Mo Qiang was actually taking an interest in him. He tucked the strand of his blonde hair behind his ear as he awkwardly with a hint of embarrassment said, " I used to study law when we were living in the imperial star but then Mother was declared as a traitor, I was suddenly asked to leave as they did not wish for someone from the Mo family to stay in their college."

In fact, the manner in which he spoke of the matter was rather light. Yin Fu still remembered the humiliation of that day when he was dragged out of his class by a bunch of guards and thrown out of the college.

He did not even know what was going on, all he knew was that something serious took place but no matter how much he answered no one answered him and simply caught his arm and dragged him out of the gates of the college where he was dropped like junk in the trash can.

Once he was thrown out, Yin Fu who was once the pride of the college suddenly turned into a street rat. Those who did not like him because he was the top scorer threw trash and shoes on him which were coated with gunk and mud, one of them —— the eldest mer son of the Wei family actually turned an entire trash can on his head because he had long disliked him.

Even though his marriage with Mo Qiang was not publicised everyone had caught a whiff of the news because of Wei Jingqing.

As Yin Fu remembered that day a vicious glint flashed in his eyes, one day if he was to return to the imperial star he will not let go of those who humiliated him when he was down. Even that college's director who deleted all his records from the college and forced him to return all awards including the money that he earned through winning competitions to the college —— he will make that old hag spit everything out that she had swallowed from him!

"That's stupid," just as his thoughts were travelling further down the rabbit hole. Yin Fu heard Mo Qiang speak as he raised his head and looked at Mo Qiang was fiddling with the thin glass sheet-like book he was reading just now. His heart stiffened a little when he saw Mo Qiang holding the tab book in her hands but did not ask her to put it down." The one who was branded as a traitor, was General Mo and not you, whats the point of expelling you from the university?"

Mo Qiang clicked her tongue and then turned to look at Yin Fu who was staring at her wide-eyed and asked, " What's the matter?"

Ding.

[ Favourability points increased by +10. Keep working hard.]

"It's nothing," Yin Fu snapped out of his daze as soon as Mo Qiang opened her mouth and then turned his head to the side with a cough before he parted his lips and then asked, " Did you need something from me?"

"That's right, there is indeed something that I want from you. It's a good thing that you reminded me," Mo Qiang placed the book back on the bed and Yin Fu noticed how careful she was, in the past Mo Qiang had often thrown his tab books on the floor causing them to shatter.

Though many courses and information were available on the internet, the professionals would often release their own tablets which were full of detailed information of cases and studies that they did which was unavailable on the net because of anti-theft and copying policies.

These glass sheets looked small and cheap but one sheet was enough to make a family go bankrupt which was why Yin Fu took rather good care of them since they were quite close to his heart and this was something that Mo Qiang knew which was why she often came into his room when she was drunk and broke a few tabs causing them to fight.

Mo Qiang had never cared about the things which were important to him because of this, he was a bit surprised to see her take care of his tab book.

She did not throw it on the floor this time? Though Yin Fu was a bit surprised inwardly he could not help but shed a few happy tears, looks like his wife was really trying to change herself.

" What do you want from me?" Because Yin Fu saw how nice Mo Qiang was being, his expression turned a bit warm even his voice turned sweet but that was until he heard Mo Qiang speak again,

" Oh it's nothing, I want to know Xifeng's weakness. Since you know her too well, you might know about it right?"

Yin Fu: (◯Δ ◯ ∥) Forget what I said just now. She is still the same.

ManiaYin Fu's expression stiffened as he looked at Mo Qiang warily. He did know about Mo Xifeng's weakness but he did not wish to relay it to Mo Qiang even though she was acting all sane and nice now, what if she was acting all along only to get hold of Mo Xifeng's weakness?



When Mo Qiang saw his awkward expression, she knew that his mind was heading down the rabbit hole which was why she immediately raised her hands in submission and then said in a hurried voice, " I am not asking this because I want to blackmail or use it against her. I just need a teeny tiny thing which I can use to make her help me. Nothing more, will you not even do this for me, Mister Yin?" As she spoke she batted her eyes and looked at him with a charming smile, at least as charming as she could summon with her face.

Yin Fu's cheek flushed red when he saw Mo Qiang bat her eyelashes at him. He licked his lips and then clenched his fingers as the tips of his ears turned red, "... I can tell you but you have to promise that you will not use it to hurt, Sister Xifeng."

" Of course not," Mo Qiang saw that somehow her clumsy seduction tricks were working which was why she immediately reached forward and clutched Yin Fu's hands in hers as she stated with a firm voice, " I promise that I will not use it to hurt, Little Xifeng. She is my little sweet sister, I cannot harm her but I really really need this small favour from you, Mister Yin! My life is in your hands, you will not let me die, will you?"

As she spoke she got closer and closer to Yin Fu's face until his back was sweating to the point where even his sweatproof shirt was not working anymore. He could not be blamed for it, this was the first time, Mo Qiang had held hands with him more importantly never before had she gotten so close to him.

" I ... I ... please..." Yin Fu's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp before he somehow managed to mutter a few words but soon his eyes rolled in his sockets when he saw Mo Qiang looking at him with a smile on her face.

'Why...why is she smiling at me? Does she like me? Or does she want to use my body? What is going on with her?' All sorts of questions popped into Yin Fu's head and then ——

Poof.

A cloud of smoke exploded on top of Yin Fu's head as he lowered his head and then bit his lips with a deep red blush spread all over his face as he muttered, " Ple..please let go of my hands."

" Oh, sorry," Mo Qiang let go of his hands causing Yin Fu to heave a sigh of relief as he clutched his hands closer to his chest.

Xiao Jiao who was covering the eyes of her 'two kids' looked down at Mo Qiang and muttered, " You are shameless, flirting in front of my kids. What will they learn?"

Mo Qiang's lips twitched as she suppressed the snicker which was almost lodged in her throat and replied, " Something good at least this way they will learn how to make use of everything to get what they want. Don't worry I am teaching something wonderful to our kids."

Since she was used to Xiao Jiao's ways of throwing tantrums, she did not even flinch as she played along with the latter.

Xiao Jiao snorted as she turned to look at Chi Chi and Ya Ya before she started to teach them 'good values'. " My little ones, do not learn something like this from your master. As good spirits, you need to work honestly and integrity is most important——"

" Those are some rather humble words for someone who forced me into this situation," Mo Qiang muttered with a heavy sigh. " Where was your integrity when you made me the leader of your cult."

" Nya?" Xiao Jiao was so angry that she changed races for a few seconds as she turned to look at Mo Qiang and said, " Cult? Did you just dishonour the Goddess of Nature by calling her supporters and worshipping practice as a cult?"

Mo Qiang looked at Xiao Jiao with an ' I will say, whatever I want to say' expression and then said, " What else? Did you..or did you not threaten me into doing your work."

" That's right but——"

" It's how cults force people to join them."

" But——-"

" And then you even asked me to preach about your Mother Nature, that's something cultists do as well."

" That's not the——"

" Threatening, forcing and making me work according to your bidding is all part of cult activities," Mo Qiang finished speaking as she turned to look at Xiao Jiao who was speechless to the point where she did not know what to say.

She wanted to scold and punish Mo Qiang but then thought of how this was one of her best hosts. Maybe the one who was the most wonderful and then sullenly thought in her mind,

' I will nibble your hair when you sleep! Just wait!'

Seeing that Xiao Jiao was no longer speaking Mo Qiang turned to look at Yin Fu victoriously and then asked with a raise of her brows, " So if you have thought it through can you tell me what kind of weakness my sister has?"

Yin Fu hesitated for a few minutes before he clenched and unclenched his fingers as he blinked his eyes and then after a short while replied, "It's mania. I think you might have not heard about this but both mother and sister Xifeng suffer from mania which is why they have a hard time controlling their emotions and sometimes explode when they stifle their emotions for a long time." He paused and added, " This is why sister Xifeng always stays away from the family and hardly gets close."

------------------------------

Mania ——2With great powers came great consequences, mania was something that every mecha morph suffered from. But it differed in ranges just as different mecha morphs were divided into various grades those who belonged to the bottom did not suffer much from mania and could live their lives as normal beings but those who belonged to A, S and Z classes suffered gravely from this heavy side effect after awakening their mecha core.



Their tendency to control their emotional outbursts was almost at rock bottom and once they lost control of their reasoning they will end up acting on their instincts. When these high-level mecha morphs lost control there will be no fluctuations in their emotions, in fact even the transmitters won't be able to catch even a single oscillation in their brain waves, they will stay the same as they usually do but once their mania catches up to them they would end up attacking even their loved ones if they made them angry.

Mo Qiang remembered when Mo Xifeng attacked her in the dimension when they were looking for something to help the soldiers who were injured back then even her system which was given to her by Xiao Jiao did not catch anything. In fact, Mo Xifeng's favourability points also did not waver they remained the same as they were before the attack was it because of this mania?

As Yin Fu finished explaining about mania he looked at Mo Qiang and then said in a soft voice, " Sister Xifeng would sometimes go to the chasm of mass graveyard to release her mania but sometimes she would stay behind to see how long she can control her rage. Mother is the same, but compared to sister Xifeng, she is more sensible and would go out of the house on the fifteenth of every month to release the stress and rage that she has piled up."

Only then did Mo Qiang remember that there was something like this stored in the memory of the predecessor whose body she took over. However in the eyes of her predecessor who was blinded by jealousy, this talk of mania was nothing but a lard of nonsense, she was completely ascertained of the fact that her mother took her sister who was the rising star of the imperial star with her alone on the fifteenth because she wanted to train her exclusively and could not be bothered by it.

After Mo Qiang was done cleaning up the memory inside her head, she was speechless. She wanted to award her predecessor with a 'congrats you are an idiot,' award but then again she will have to go to hell for that, something she was not quite willing to do which was why she stuffed that idea back.

" Is there a way to control this so-called mania?" Mo Qiang asked as she looked at Yin Fu who shook his head and replied, " Though the government officials say that things which people are rather fond of might bring calm to their mind, I don't think that it works that well because I never seen mother and sister getting any better."

" And what kind of things they are fond of?" Mo Qiang asked with a blink of her eyes.

No sooner did she finish her question, Yin Fu's expression turned awkward and hesitating as he licked his lips and then said, " They like something cute."

Cute? Mo Qiang furrowed her brows when she thought about the stoic face of General Mo hugging and kissing a cute stuffed toy but then waved her hand in front of her to clean up that image. What the hell!? No matter how she looked at it she did not seem to be according to Mo Yan's image at all.

Which was why she turned to look at Yin Fu and asked with a suspicious voice," Are you sure?"

Yin Fu knew that Mo Qiang was not trusting his words which was why he solemnly nodded and then stated, " It might sound ridiculous but if you go into sister Xifeng's room, you will see a stuffed dog toy hidden under her bed which she only takes out at night. Don't misunderstand me, Sister Xifeng has a habit of sleepwalking because her mind cannot rest because of the onslaught of her emotional unrest in her head which is why I saw her carrying that stuffed toy."

" I understand.. " Mo Qiang nodded, she thought that after getting hold of Mo Qiang's weakness she might be able to get hold of Mo Qiang's skills but now that she knew about this so-called mania, she was not that confident. After all, how was she supposed to deal with something like this?

" Why are you worrying over something so small ?" Xiao Jiao studied her nails and then remarked while looking at Mo Qiang as she said, " All you need is to spin again and maybe you might get a spirit that can help you with controlling the mania."

No sooner did Xiao Jiao finish speaking, her sky which was covered with smoky grey clouds soon brightened up as rays of sun filled the entire space and she punched her hand into the palm of her other hand.

Thats right! Why was she worrying over something so small? With the amount of favourability points that she had accumulated she will be able to spin the wheel one more time and summon a spirit. Anyway, as long as she was alive there was no need for her to worry about other things!

Mo Qiang nodded and patted Xiao Jiao for being a smart little squirrel before turning to Yin Fu as she said, " Thank you, you helped me a lot. If there is anything that you want then you can tell me."

Since Yin Fu had helped her, she did not wish to owe him which was why she offered him an olive branch but who would have thought that instead of holding the olive branch, the mer would hold her entire arm when she turned to leave as he asked, " Are you saying that I can ask for anything?"

Though Mo Qiang was stunned she still nodded and replied, " Yeah you can."

" Then a date...." Yin Fu pursed his lips and then stated. ".. I want a date."

Surging wavesYin Fu licked his lips as he raised his head and looked at Mo Qiang. The latter had a look of stunned disbelief on her face as she looked at him with her brows scrunched up and mouth parted as if she did not expect him to say this to her.



" Can't I?" He further asked with a subtle hesitation on his face which caused Mo Qiang to run her fingers through her hair as she snapped out of her daze and replied, "It's not that you can't but do you really want to go on a date with me out of all people?"

Mo Qiang's voice was a bit flustered, as an orphan she never had a chance to date anyone. From the minute she turned eighteen she was pushed out of the orphanage and asked to face the real world. Though the orphanage director was kind, she was not kind enough to feed an adult, thus Mo Qiang who did not have the liberty of falling in love at a young age never found a man till the day she died.

Asking her out on a date was equivalent to asking her how the world came into existence!

" I do, I do want to go with you," Yin Fu batted his eyelashes as he hurriedly clutched Mo Qiang's hands as if afraid that she will leave him hanging if he was to let go of her. " If you don't dislike going on a date with me then I do want to go with you! I can... I can right?"

" Then you can choose the place where you want to go," Mo Qiang had no idea about how to plan for a date nor did she know what couples did when they went on a date.

'No, wait! Why am I agreeing with him? Why do we need to go on a date? Aren't we going to divorce?' A thought suddenly popped in Mo Qiang's head as she turned to look at Yin Fu who was beaming as if Christmas had arrived earlier and did not know what to say to him. Something was telling her that she was being swept in the flow but she did not have any idea how to take control of the boat on which she was riding.

" We——"

" You dont have to worry about anything, Qi Qi," Now that Mo Qiang agreed to go on a date with him, Yin Fu no longer called her by her full name instead he started to call her 'Qi Qi' like everyone else. He smiled at Mo Qiang and then continued to chatter away one thing after another, " I will plan the most fascinating date for the two of us. You do not have to even sweat about it, all you need to do is to focus on the upcoming duel and nothing else. And leave everything else to me."

" No that..." Mo Qiang did not even get a chance to instil her own view as Yin Fu clapped his hands and then pushed Mo Qiang out of the room before saying, " I will pray for your victorious return, Qi Qi!"

Bang!

With those parting words, he closed the door on Mo Qiang's face causing the latter to be speechless.

" What...what was that?" Mo Qiang looked at the door which was closed on her face and then turned to look at Xiao Jiao as she said, " Why does it feel like that I was the one who was played instead of him?"

Xiao Jiao looked at the dunce in front of her and simply pinched his forefinger and thumb together before she sat in a meditating position. Only then did she part her lips and said, "Everyone has to pay for their sins, this is how the world works."

Mo Qiang: "...." I bet I am paying for the sins of the entire world.

Inside the room, Yin Fu placed a hand over his thumping heart and looked at the reflective glass sheet and looked at his reflection. His lips were curled in an evil smile as his eyelids drooped a bit over his pupils—— he blinked his turquoise eyes and then said, " That was fascinating. I never thought that I could bag a date with her.." he cupped his cheeks and then tittered, " Looks like she is indeed changed. How cute."

As the memory of the stunned look on Mo Qiang's face flickered in front of his eyes, Yin Fu's blush blossomed even more as he muttered, " I really wanted to kiss her."

...

On the other side in Madam Lian's house, the latter was munching on the large chicken leg of three-horned chicken which she bought from the star net and continued her conversation with the head of the star media as she said, "Thats right, I want the entire imperial star to know that Mo Qiang assaulted my husband in a drunken rage and instead of apologising to me she asked me to take on a duel with her."

Madam Lian was confident that she was going to win the duel but she was a woman who thought of everything before making a move. With Mo Yan and Mo Xifeng by her side, there was a chance that Mo Qiang might be able to win against her which was why Madam Lian wanted to block Mo Qiang's way out once and for all.

Even if she somehow managed to win the duel, Madam Lian wanted Mo Qiang to be thrown to a barren star from where she will never be able to return!

" Are you sure about this," the head of the star media looked at Madam Lian and then suggested in a concerned voice, " You are pushing Mo Yan too much Madam Lian. In case she snapped you will not be able to——"

" You think that I need to fear that idiot who is all brawn and no brains? Hah! Even if she was to go ahead and protect her precious daughter, she will only garner disgust for herself!" Madam Lian tore a huge chunk of meat from the enormous chicken leg and chewed it down. " Who am I? I am the saviour of the great General Mo Yan and who is Mo Qiang? She is a thug and a disgusting criminal. The internet will be on my side," she added confidently with arrogance dripping from her face. " All you need to do is to make sure that Mo Yan and her daughters will be pushed into a corner with no return!"

-----------------------------------

Surging waves ——2The head of Star Media looked at Madam Lian's stubborn expression and sighed, " Fine if you are confident then I will not say anything but let me remind you that this matter will cause a lot of explosions in case things went awry, do not blame me."



" Don't worry, Zhiwen. I know what I am doing, we have been friends for such a long time. Other than benefits have I ever done anything that might bring you a loss?" Madam Lian's confidence did not stem from nothing, she had been scheming against the Mo family for ages and not once was she caught by anyone.

Even though Wen Gui and Mo Xifeng were suspicious of her, they were tied down by the imperial government who made sure that they will not be able to make a drastic move since most of their movements could be traced back.

The last time Mo Xifeng was able to blindside her because they were outside and she did not catch her in the act but if she was to appear in front of her house then Madam Lian could surely file a complaint against Mo Xifeng for trespassing.

Madam Lian caressed her new security system X2009 and smirked, with this baby in her hands even Wen Gui who once worked as a shadow assassin won't be able to escape!

Lu Zhiwen looked at Madam Lian who looked rather impressed with her work and then pursed her lips as she said, " Fine, I will trust you this time around but I hope you will not disappoint me, Madam Lian. Because if the tides are turned then we will not be able to clean ourselves up even if we were to raise our hands and swear that we were not involved with you? Do you understand?"

"Yeah, Yeah. I, know how it works you are just worried for nothing," Madam Lian did not take Lu Zhiwen's warning seriously and was not bothered by her warnings either. " Leave everything to me and just do everything as I say, now what are you waiting for? Chop Chop, we have no time to waste go ahead and make sure that the entire imperial star knows about this duel."

If she won then there was nothing to worry about but if she somehow lost the duel then she will make sure that Mo Yan will be defeated by the public opinion. This time around no matter what happens, she will surely kick Mo Qiang out of this star!

Maybe she might even get a chance to go back to the imperial star after stepping on Mo Yan and her daughters! If this plan of hers worked then it will be like shooting two birds with one stone! Hah!

...

In the middle of the night, an explosive piece of news broke out which startled the entire imperial star even the young students who were surfing the star net instead of sleeping. The blogger did not hold back as she blamed Mo Qiang for overstepping her boundaries and accused her of taking advantage of the kindness that Madam Lian had shown her in the past.

The small blog which only comprised less than a thousand words gave a detailed description of how Mo Qiang assaulted Su Jiu, the husband of Madam Lian and instead of apologising she shamelessly challenged Madam Lian to a duel, the blogger did an excellent job in making it sound like that it Madam Lian who was getting the shorter end of the stick.

[ My god, I did not think that Mo Qiang will be able to go any lower but she just refreshed my world views. Assaulting the husband of her mother's friend? She has no shame!]

[ Shame? I bet she does not even know how to spell that word but Mo Yan is not any different either. Who does not know that Madam Lian was the one who saved her life and brought her back safely from the star which was infected by Zergs? Instead of supporting Madam Lian, she is standing by her thug-like daughter. I want to vomit just thinking about how ungrateful they are.]

[ The above comment is spot on but then again Mo Yan is a traitor herself. I am even surprised that she was able to keep her hidden instincts to herself for so long. Yuck!]

[ The Mo family is disgusting!]

[ Execution! They deserve execution! If they are allowed to roam free then how will we mers step on the streets?]

[ Kill them!]

" Mother," a young woman with flaming red hair looked at the elderly woman who was sitting on the throne in the middle of the throne room and said, " I think you should step in if you stay silent then I am afraid that the officials will make a huge ruckus tomorrow morning as soon as they arrive at the court."

" Hmm?" The woman who sat on the throne looked up from the tablet which was sitting on her lap and then glanced at her eldest daughter who lowered her head when she saw her mother glance at her with that lazy pair of eyes. Even though the emotions within them were restrained, the crown princess could detect the mania which was surging behind those blood-red eyes.

"..If you are afraid of trouble then you might as well throw the crown off the crown princess and allow me to look for someone else, Zhi Zhi," The Empress spoke in a calm manner but her words were so harsh that they caused Fu Zhi to suck in a breath as she lowered her head in a hurry and apologized,

" I did not mean to say that I am——"

" Fu Zhi," the Empress's words caused Fu Zhi to pause as she raised her head and looked at her mother who tapped at the screen of her tab and muttered languidly, " Sometimes what we see is not the truth. There are many things that one has to consider, if you are not able to see those things then I am afraid that your second sister might be much more capable of taking this throne than you."

Fu Zhao glanced at her daughter who was looking at her with disbelief in her eyes and said, " Don't look at me like that, Zhi Zhi. Just wait for three weeks and you will know how our own officials make fools out of us."

New spiritThe situation on the internet continued to fester by the time Mo Qiang woke up, she realised that she was even more hated than the intergalactic bandits who robbed the poor and the rich alike.



Mo Qiang: "...." I knew the world was crazy but I did not know that it was this crazy.

She looked down at the blogger who was responsible for her current situation and very swiftly wrote her name in the small book which she carried in her heart and underlined it with red.

'Do you think you will be fine after doing something like this? You are too naive.' Mo Qiang thought in her head as an evil sneer started to play on her lips as she looked at the blogger's page that had thoroughly condemned her to the point where she couldn't even step out of her house without getting smashed by rotten eggs but since there was a serious lack of good eggs, she was sure that she would be pelted by rocks instead.

Xiao Jiao looked at Mo Qiang who was snickering with an evil expression on her face and shuddered. She did not know who this blogger was but maybe it was time for her to light up a few candles for this woman.

" What are we going to do now?" Xiao Jiao asked as she looked at the comments which were yet to stop under the blogger's post and then turned to look at Mo Qiang.

Mo Qiang pushed herself off the bed and then arched her back before turning to look at Xiao Jiao who was flying next to her head and said, " It depends on how quickly you start using a computer."

" Are...Aren't you pushing me a bit too much?" Xiao Jiao looked down at her little paws and then remarked before raising her head and looking at Mo Qiang. " I am just a little squirrel now——"

" Back then when I living in my world, small canaries knew how to turn on a radio, if you cannot do that then doesn't it mean that you are even worse than a canary?" Mo Qiang turned to glance at Xiao Jiao who was gawking at her before clicking her tongue in distaste. " Tsk, how can you be so useless?"

" How am I useless? I am clearly the servant of Goddess——"

" Have you ever seen a servant of a god being defeated by a man-made creation?" Mo Qiang interrupted Xiao Jiao's fervent speech and then turned to point at the computer which was sitting on a weirdly curved table sitting on the side of the room. " A machine with no brains defeated you... I have nothing more to say to you."

Xiao Jiao dropped to her knees as gloomy clouds hung on her head while Chi Chi and Ya Ya tried to cheer her up.

On the other hand, Mo Qiang turned the spin the wheel feature on and had her entire focus on the centre of the tab where she needed to place her finger to spin the wheel.

She turned to look at Xiao Jiao and asked, " On a scale of one to ten, how confident are you that we will get exactly what we want?"

"No one can be confident about that," Xiao Jiao snorted as she fluttered her wings and turned her head to the side as if showing her disdain for the woman in front of her. " If you were to spin a wheel on a shopping internet site, do you think that you will win the prize for sure?"

" Is that so?" On hearing Xiao Jiao's answer, Mo Qiang clicked her tongue and then said in a disdainful voice, " If that is the case then don't you think that your system is too bad?"

Xiao Jiao: "...." All right, you want to fight is that ?!

The squirrel hissed angrily wanting to take a swipe at Mo Qiang but the latter was even faster. She dodged the attack which was aimed at her and pressed the spinning wheel causing a magic circle to open.

With intricate words written in the middle of the circle, the room was illuminated by a golden glow. The small circles inside the bigger world turned causing multiple cogs churning like sound to echo in the room.

Xiao Jiao who was hissing angrily was distracted by the sudden appearance of the magic circle. With her eyes focusing on the circle, Xiao Jiao flew next to Mo Qiang, even the grey chihuahua and the small sheep tottered towards Mo Qiang and craned their necks to see what was going on.

The four of them watched the magical circle with abated breath before it shuddered and soon a young boy with grey hair which was tinted with white appeared in front of them.

He was just as tall as Chi Chi when he was in his true form, with sharply pointed ears twitching on top of his head and a curled furry tail behind him. Dressed in a green tank top with a scarf tied around his neck and beige shorts, he blinked his eyes which were icy blue.

At first glance he looked like he was one of those cold beauties, Mo Qiang thought so too but that was until the small boy opened his mouth and then looked around excitedly,

" Are you my master? Hello, My name is Huhu. You can call me Xiao Huhu... this is the name that I gave to myself since no one wanted to keep they said that I was too energetic and they were too lazy to keep me. What about you? Can you play ball with me? Do you have a chewing ball? I love chewing ball. I also love running. By the way, my mother is a cat... don't ask me why she is a cat, she said that she picked me up from the trash can because my father did not want me? Will you throw me into the trash can as well?"

Mo Qiang: "....." Breathe little one, breathe.

--------------------

Not neededThe boy called Huhu looked at Mo Qiang excitedly who looked back at him with shock and disbelief written on her face. Mo Qiang was good with children but she desperately hated the children who were this energetic.



When she was in the orphanage, she couldn't even count the number of times, kids like Huhu would knock into pans and pots causing their entire dinner to fall on the floor of the mess hall.

Though they apologised later on, what was the point of apologising? Can an apology fill her belly?

More importantly, she loved the peace and quiet. This kid looked nothing like someone who loved silence —— he seemed to be noisy, boisterous and unable to be tamed.

" I ...quit, goodbye," as she finished speaking, Mo Qiang turned to walk out of the room but she was stopped by Xiao Jiao who planted herself on her face and said in a hurry,

" Look at his stats! Look at his stats first!"

Only then did Mo Qiang peel Xiao Jiao off her face and took a look at Huhu's stats.

[ Xiao Huhu is a cute little husky, raised by his cat mother. Most of his attributes are similar to that of a cat because of his upbringing. Make sure to give him a lot of cuddles because he will make your stress and rage go away in a jiffy!

Special attributes:

*) Calming hug—- reduces emotional stress.

*) Pom Pom dance —— spreads out an even amount of love values to crops and animals increasing their efficiency and yield by two times.

*) Go Go Cheer —— a cheer filled with love is all one wants in their desperate times. Don't worry, Huhu will be there for you giving you tremendous buff in terms of strength when you need it the most!

]

Mo Qiang took a look at his stats and her eyes twitched she was stunned by the weird names of the attributes that Xiao Huhu had but she still sat down and then said, " Hu...Huhu, right?"

"That's right, I am Huhu. Nice to meet you master!" Xiao Huhu nodded his head fervently as he looked at Mo Qiang who raised her hands and said, " There is no need for you to call me master yet, first I need to see whether or not you are worth it which is why show me what you have got."

Xiao Huhu tilted his head to the side before he shook his head and shifted to his animal form, Mo Qiang had no idea what he was doing but that was until he went pliant against her.

Mo Qiang did not know how to express what she was feeling at the moment. She did not know how Xiao Huhu did it but somehow he managed to calm her anger, frustration and the small bit of irritation that she was feeling just a minute ago.

She looked down at the small husky pup who was hugging her and snickered, " Looks like even the heavens want me to take that b*tch down."

.....

" Will you just listen to me?" Mo Qiang chased after Mo Xifeng who was overseeing the construction of the chicken coop.

Mo Xifeng pressed a hand on her forehead as she continued to walk further away from Mo Qiang and then said in an annoyed voice, " I have already told you that I cannot teach you how to condense your core energy, stop badgering me now!"

She thought that Mo Qiang would leave her alone like the last time but instead, she heard her sister laugh behind her. And this laugh was filled with hidden intentions which caused Mo Xifeng to pause as she turned around and looked at Mo Qiang.

" Are you sure that you don't want my help?"

"....."

Mo Xifeng did not know why but she suddenly felt uncomfortable. Who knows from where an ominous feeling crept up her spine when she looked at the smirk which was playing on Mo Qiang's lips.

It was the look which was quite similar to a thug having dirt on her, the way her sister was looking at her made Mo Xifeng squirm on the spot in which she was standing because she could see that Mo Qiang was very certain that she will be able to bend her over and make her do what she wanted.

And sure enough, Mo Xifeng's bad premonition came true.

" If you help me condense my spiritual energy then I will ..." With a sly glint in her eyes Mo Qiang raised her gaze and looked at her. " I will treat your mania. I will make sure that you no longer have to stifle your anger and emotions and live like a normal human being."

She arched a brow and asked, " What do you think? This is a wonderful deal isn't it?"

Mo Xifeng licked her lips with a furrow between her brows.

Mania—— her biggest weakness and foe.

She had been trying to suppress it for years but it was simply impossible for a mecha morph to suppress their mania. It was like a sticky shadow, no matter how much they tried to shake it off, the more tightly it continued to cling onto the mecha morphs.

Mo Xifeng clenched her fingers as she looked at Mo Qiang with a frown. Her lips were tightly pursed and she was not speaking but Mo Xifeng knew that Mo Qiang had hit her right on the nail.

But how come she found out about her mania? Her sister had never paid attention to her before. She had been suffering from mania for ages and after she was mocked by Mo Qiang for acting weak just to grab the attention of their mother, she had made sure that she would never make her discomfort obvious which was why Mo Qiang never knew about her sufferings.

And even if she did, Mo Qiang had deliberately ignored everything which was related to her.

" I think you are mistaken," Mo Xifeng smiled at her sister politely. " I am completely fine there is nothing wrong with me."

If something was to happen to Mo Qiang when she was condensing core energy into mecha particles, who knows how Wen Gui will make her suffer?

All mine" Are you really going to act like such?" Mo Qiang hummed as she arched a brow and then looked at the stubborn Mo Xifeng in front of her. She was not even surprised that the latter tried to go against her given how prideful Mo Xifeng usually acted, she had found out from Yin Fu that her sister was clearly suffering because of mania but she still refused to show it in front of her or anyone else.



" I don't understand what you are trying to say, sister, obviously I am fine without any trouble at all," Mo Xifeng turned to look at the soldiers who were hesitating to drill the logs of wood together and frowned before saying, " What are you doing if you continue to work like this, we are not going to finish this coop even in our last life."

" But the wood is so shiny and sturdy, Miss Xifeng," one of the soldiers could not help but say as she looked at the log of wood which was in her hands if one did not see it clearly they would have thought that she was holding her lover instead of a log of wood.

" If you do a good job then I will allow you to take the scarps of wood after the chicken coop is done," Mo Qiang spoke up as she placed her arm on Mo Xifeng's shoulder while looking at the soldiers who were walking towards the construction site with heavy logs of wood on their shoulders. These soldiers who were working under her mother were sturdy to begin with, even though they were losing their touch it was only because they were not making use of their skills but with a little push from her and Mo Yan, they were back to working hard.

When the soldiers heard that they will be able to get the leftover pieces of wood their eyes lit up and they immediately cheered happily before turning to go back and work. It was clear that their morals which was a bit down were raised and they were more than happy to continue their work.

Mo Qiang turned to look at Mo Xifeng who was standing beside her with a stiff look on her face, seeing this Mo Qiang was tickled as she said in a cheeky voice, " Do you know why you couldn't think of an idea other than scolding them? That's because your head is so noisy that you can't even think of something other than trying to calm your anger while trying to suppress your frustration. It's because of this reason and nothing else."

" You are thinking too much, I just did not think that there was any reason for me to distribute leftover wood logs to these soldiers, it was a small slight on my part and nothing else," as she spoke Mo Xifeng sighed in a tired manner causing Mo Qiang to snap her fingers as she looked at her and said, " Look at that, look at that you are getting angry, are you not?"

" I am not getting angry," stated Mo Xifeng firmly causing Mo Qiang to hum as she continued, " Then impatient? It's one of the two right? Then why don't you take my help? I promise you will be fine, super duper fine with my help."

" No, thanks," Mo Xifeng had no idea what was going on with Mo Qiang but she was not going to accept such a dangerous suggestion. Four years of hard practice, along with training and meditation and that was how she was able to summon a mecha weapon. There was no way Mo Qiang will be able to do it in three weeks, if she was to hurry then she will only harm herself and nothing more.

Mo Qiang pursed her lips when she saw that Mo Xifeng was not accepting her offer. Seeing her sister go silent Mo Xifeng thought that Mo Qiang had given up on her intentions of condensing her core energy in just three weeks, she heaved a sigh of relief causing Mo Qiang who was standing next to Mo Xifeng to curl her lips.

Her dear sister seemed to have underestimated her a lot.

Because there was no way she was going to give up so easily instead of giving up, she was going to continue with her pursuit for the next five days.

Something that she indeed started to do from the very next day.

It did not matter whether Mo Xifeng was showering, eating or running, Mo Qiang would turn up at every possible time and chance causing Mo Xifeng to be stunned by her dedication and shamelessness.

" Are you really sure that you don't need my help? I think you do. Look at that frown! Look at that twitching of your brows. You are angry are you not? You are angry are you not? Then why don't you listen to me?"

Even when she was training at the chasm of death, Mo Qiang somehow managed to chase her there while riding the flying car she chattered from behind as she broke boulders of red stone.

" Xifeng, are you angry? Why are you chopping the boulders? Is this an anger management issue of yours? I think you should take up my offer. It will be much better than that."

Mo Xifeng who planned to sharpen her sword on the boulder had to stop her training and return home without doing anything more. She thought that her sister would stop but instead, she continued her torment even at dinner.

" Why are you slicing the chicken meat so harshly? Is this a way of releasing your anger as well?" Mo Xifeng heard Mo Qiang ask as she looked at her eating, they were eating the meat of the old three-horned chicken that Madam Lian and Ou Qi hunted.

Mo Xifeng who was eating silently raised her head and looked at her sister who was smiling at her with a cheeky grin causing Mo Xifeng to smile as well.

" Of course not, I was just in a hurry to finish the meal and nothing else."

Though she did not say anything and her expression was calm, Mo Xifeng was yelling at the top of her lungs inwardly.

All mine —-2-----------------------



" Sister, by all means... can you allow me to sleep?" Mo Xifeng finally broke on the fifth day as she stared at the ceiling with her eyes open looking wide awake. There were tiny red veins in her eyes which showed that Mo Xifeng was on the verge of snapping, one could see that she was truly suppressing her anger to make sure that she will not harm Mo Qiang.

Mo Qiang yawned as she snuggled close to Mo Xifeng causing the latter to be pushed against the wall. She raised her body with the help of her arm and then looked down at Mo Xifeng who was lying next to her and then said in a low voice, " Why don't you accept my help? I know that you are worried but what is the point of getting worried? Don't you wish to live a life like a normal person like me?"

Mo Xifeng narrowed her eyes as she tightly pursed her lips and did not say anything anymore. Who said that she did not wish to live a life like everyone else, she was truly envious of those who did not have to worry about how to speak and act in front of others, always keeping close control of her own movements since she knew that she might end up losing her temper at any moment.

Being so watchful and careful, who would like it?

" Look at you, even if you are sleeping with me —— you have to be so careful of your own hands," she pointed to Mo Xifeng's hands which were tightly clenched, the latter was clearly worried that she would end up choking the life out of Mo Xifeng's body which was why she was keeping her hands to her side without even making a move.

Mo Xifeng followed Mo Qiang's gaze and stiffened when she realised that she was keeping her fists in tight hold causing Mo Qiang to point it out. Mo Xifeng unclenched her hands but she still kept a close eye on her hands which might move without her realising, even trying to keep sane rationality was a hard job when she was seriously sleep-deprived and frustrated.

" I ..." Mo Xifeng opened her mouth to defend herself but then she watched Mo Qiang turn the television on causing her voice to drown as an idol who was singing and dancing appeared in front of her causing her face to stiffen as she looked at the dancing idol.

Her expression twisted causing Mo Qiang to curl her lips to the side as she continued speaking, " I heard from Yin Fu, this mer used to be your boyfriend. Right? But when you were kicked out of the imperial star, he told you that he could not do it anymore because your temper is so bad and that he was only with you because you were Mo Yan's daughter which was why he was dealing with your bad temper, right?"

Mo Xifeng clenched her fists as she turned to look at Mo Qiang who turned to look at her with a smirk and said, " Are you going to live like this for all your life, Xifeng? You were clearly the victim but that little mer blamed you for everything and then turned to leave without feeling the slightest bit of guilty? Should you not be trying to recover instead of cutting yourself off the world?"

" I understand," Mo Xifeng sighed as she dropped her guard, she knew that there was no point in fighting with Mo Qiang anymore which was why she glanced at the television and then turned it off before turning to look at Mo Qiang who was lying next to her.

" What do you want me to do?" She asked while biting her lips, though she did not believe that her sister will be able to deal with her Mania which was why Mo Xifeng did not dare to let loose of her emotions and calmly kept staring at Mo Qiang.

Her nerves were taut and her mania was almost on the verge of exploding after getting teased by Mo Qiang but she did not go against Mo Qiang.

Mo Qiang sat up from bed and then stood up before she said, " There is no need for you to sit up, go and lie back on the bed."

Her words caused Mo Xifeng to arch a brow as she looked at Mo Xifeng and then snorted, " You are trying to tuck me into bed and talk about life is that it?"

It was not even funny if that was what Mo Qiang was trying to do since Mo Xifeng knew that it was not going to work.

" You don't need to worry about that," Mo Qiang's lips twitched as she clapped her hands and then before Mo Xifeng could wrap her head around what was going on, she realized that a cute little thing was sitting on top of her. With his tongue lol lolling out of his mouth and a silly smile playing on the face of the cute little thing, he looked so adorable that Mo Xifeng felt like her heart was turning into a mush.

'Wh...What is this cute thing?' Mo Xifeng looked stern and stoic but inwardly she was a major plush lover, thus when she saw something as cute as Xiao Huhu, she couldn't help but gush as she hugged it and looked up at the ceiling before saying, " I ... I can finally die in peace."

" There is no need for you to die, just close your eyes and do nothing," Mo Qiang sat down on the small chair beside Mo Xifeng's bed and then looked at Xiao Huhu who closed his eyes as well and calmed the mania which was on the verge of surging out of Mo Xifeng's body.

One minute passed by and then another minute passed by before Mo Qiang opened her mouth and she asked, "How do you feel now?"

" I ... I feel exceptionally calm," This was the first time that Mo Xifeng did not feel like her head was bursting or was on the verge of exploding, she turned to look at Mo Qiang and then asked in a low voice, "What now sister?"

What now? All of your skills are mine!

———————

True colours" Please start meditating here," Mo Xifeng pointed to the deep chasm which was filled with crater-like holes as she looked at Mo Qiang and asked her to go down and start meditating. The latter looked at the chasm which was made up of blood-red stones with glowing craters spread all over the place, one could see that inside those craters there was frothing magma boiling. The temperature of the chasm was worriedly hot and scalding but that was not all, in every fifteenth minute, the crater would explode and then a big boulder the size of an ostrich egg would be sent flying out of each crater at repeated intervals.



And once the boulder was to come out of the crater, under the lowering pressure and heat, it will explode because of the high pressure that was inside it causing an unbalance which led to an explosive reaction.

Mo Qiang looked at the sparks which were twice the size of the firecrackers and then turned to look at Mo Xifeng and asked, " Just because I asked you to help me condense the spiritual energy you are treating me like this? Even if you don't want to help me there is no need for you to send me to this chasm of death, right?"

After Mo Qiang helped Mo Xifeng take control of her emotions, the latter no longer suffered from headaches which was why her expression despite being cold was no longer as icy as it was in the past, this was because she could sleep in peace without her head throbbing like it was going to burst.

" I am not pushing you into a death chasm," Mo Xifeng was calm as she looked at Mo Qiang who was blaming her for making her suffer. " The condensing of the core depends on whether or not you can concentrate under high pressure and heated conditions, this chasm is perfect since it gives the same intense energy and pressure which you can control."

She then went ahead and started explaining the process of condensing the energy of the core causing Mo Qiang to frown.

When Mo Xifeng saw that Mo Qiang was not willing she pursed her lips and then said, " If you don't want to then there is no need for you to go down that chasm, it is just that you will have to come with another way to deal with Madam Lian."

As she spoke she arched a brow and then looked at Mo Qiang, " Do you want to bow down in front of Madam Lian."

Mo Qiang was speechless as she looked at the woman in front of her, her gaze dropped and she looked at the small puppy which she was carrying in her arms and then Mo Qiang could not help but say, " Do you think that I will not take Huhu from you?"

" Hmm? You can try but I dont think that Huhu would agree," Mo Xifeng's voice was full of pride as she said those words causing Mo Qiang to roll her eyes multiple times.

She had seriously underestimated Mo Xifeng's plush addiction, this woman was so addicted to plushies and cute things that she was completely willing to let go of her stoic personality for the sake of ruffling the fur of the small thing she was carrying in her arms. What was more she even ignored her! Her elder sister for that husky!?

Mo Xifeng and Mo Qiang stared at each other for a while, just as the situation was going into a deadlock. Mo Xifeng scoffed and then threw her hands up in the air, " Do you think that I am scared? I can totally floor this thing. Just wait and watch."

As she spoke Mo Qiang turned around and walked towards the chasm leaving Mo Xifeng behind whom hummed and then said, "Mhmm, you are not at all scared elder sister."

" I see that you are patronizing me," Mo Qiang spoke as she turned to look at Mo Xifeng who was silently following her from behind while looking at her with a calm look in her eyes. " I know that the reason you brought me here was because you thought that I would be terrified of this scene and then refuse to go along with you but you are wrong! I will show you that I am just as powerful as you are."

Though Mo Qiang was scared she did not stop as she climbed down the chasm while speaking, " You definitely know how to deal with this thing the easy way but you who don't wish to teach me properly purposely pushed me into this chasm such that you can wash your hands clean right? I am not an idiot don't think that you can fool me."

Mo Xifeng's mouth twitched as she looked at Mo Qiang who was muttering, in fact, she did have this plan as long as Mo Qiang was scared of this chasm, she will be able to deal with this matter without a fuss.

But it seemed to her that her sister was much more stubborn than she expected her to be.

" You must be thinking that I would simply refuse right? That I would say 'Oh I don't want to do this,' but then you would be like 'Oh but this is how it's supposed to be,' and then you will both wash your hands off and take my child away, you heartless woman." Mo Qiang narrowed her eyes as she glared at Mo Xifeng who was speechless as she looked at Mo Qiang who finally hopped down the chasm and then walked inside the middle of the chasm.

She only left behind a squirrel and a small sheep who yawned and looked at Mo Xifeng with her green eyes which were filled with glassy tears causing Mo Xifeng's heart to go 'Aww', as she crouched down and took out the water bottle which she had brought with her as she said, " Here you go, are you thirsty ?"

Mo Qiang who was sitting on the scalding hot surface which made her peach expand into that of a watermelon: "....." I am not a bastard but Mo Xifeng you are certainly a dog.
