Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 521 Envy Me

Today is March 3rd, the second day of the New Year in Dadu (Beijing).

After telling her eldest sister to take good care of the zombie girl, Jiang Si went out with Zheng Fan to find Xi Cai. What? Why not Jiang Ming, who wanted the zombie girl the most? She wanted it so much, so naturally, her older sister couldn't give it to her.

Zheng Fan gave Jiang Si the address that Xi Cai had personally written down, which he had obtained in the Zero subway line.

Jiang Si, holding the note, prepared to set off with Zheng Fan.

As they walked out of the ginger building, they encountered Luo Xingxing.

"Why are there unrelated people wandering around here?" Zheng Fan said directly when he saw her.

"Ah, hello Miss Jiang Si!" But when Luo Xingxing saw Jiang Si, she suddenly straightened her back and changed her previous casual demeanor, greeting her loudly.

Jiang Si was a little embarrassed: "What are you doing?"

“I’m now directly loyal to you, Miss Jiang Si. We agreed on that before.” Luo Xingxing blinked and said innocently.

Thinking back, when Jiang Sigang captured Luo Xingxing and said he wouldn't kill her, she did seem to have said something similar.

She's serious...

One day, he actually did what a gangster's daughter should do—take on underlings. This one must be his little sister. She's of the Luo family bloodline, probably one of only two remaining members, and possesses considerable fighting prowess. Without Mr. Devil's help, he might not even be a match for her in a serious fight…

This young female follower is very valuable.

Although he had already noticed that Luo Xingxing was more of an oddity than he was as a member of the Jiang family, he still found it strange to see her solemnly and loudly declaring her allegiance to him.

"By the way, is that hallucination still there? My cousin said you two should be inseparable right now." Luo Xingxing looked around curiously again, even though she could clearly not see Zheng Fan.

"I'm here." A black sparrow doll suddenly appeared on Jiang Si's shoulder.

Luo Xingxing looked over, and Zheng asked in return, "Where is Luo Ye?"

"My cousin should have already gone back. She's not interested in the violent world and said she wanted to go back to Dadu to enjoy the remaining New Year's atmosphere. But I guess she just doesn't want to see you." Luo Xingxing's mouth was anything but discreet.

“That’s true,” Zheng Fan readily agreed.

"I originally wanted to go to Dadu too, it's been a long time since I've been there, but since Miss Jiang Si is still here, I'd better not run around as her follower." Luo Xingxing had a proud look on her face, as if she was about to praise me.

"No, there's no need to take it so seriously. I wasn't really taking it seriously anyway." Jiang Si looked away. To be honest, she didn't really want such an unreliable follower.

Having one unreliable guy like Mr. Devil by your side is enough.

"Huh? I'm very serious! The Luo family never bows down to anyone, but I'm breaking that unprecedented precedent!" Luo Xingxing said earnestly, patting her chest.

"It's fine if we don't set such a precedent. But does such a precedent even exist?" Zheng Fan retorted without hesitation.

Jiang Si said helplessly, "Alright, we're going out now, what do you say?"

"Of course I have to follow along!" Luo Xingxing answered decisively, without any hesitation about what they were going to do. Her conviction was as firm as if it were her lifelong belief.

Jiang Si sighed, said nothing, and walked away on her own. Luo Xingxing chuckled and followed lightly.

She's not stupid. Even if she's very good at fighting, she ultimately doesn't want to live without a sense of security. She can't give herself that kind of security.

There's no way Luo Ye's cousin would protect her; if she shamelessly went to confront her, getting her legs broken would be the least of her worries.

And the closest person to her, Miss Jiang Si, was clearly a perfect person to latch onto. She was the fourth daughter of the Jiang family, the daughter of the invincible Jiang Qiang, and also one of the current partners of her cousin's super-illusioned "first love" and even "deathly love."

My God, is there a stronger relationship in this violent world?
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and swear allegiance!

The two, in a trance, were finally ready to set off. Jiang Si walked through the building, and many of her followers and even relatives greeted her along the way. Such a thing would have been unthinkable before.

In a violent world, even within a gang, respect is shown only to an individual, not to the relatives or friends of a powerful person.

Jiang Si used to be a stranger on the roadside. If she saw him, it was considered good if she didn't kick him when he was down. Ignoring him was commonplace, and saying hello was something she never dreamed of.

It is clear that Jiang Si's performance in front of everyone on New Year's Day has changed most people's impression of her.

This was a genuine change, not something forced upon her. Even those who had bullied Jiang Si in the past could now greet her warmly.

If Jiang Si wants to retaliate, they have no objection; they will simply resist, whether they can win or not is another matter.

This is all normal; it's their basic belief. Jiang Si has become stronger, and they themselves have become weaker in front of Jiang Si—that's all.

Jiang Si felt no joy at the reversal of fortune. Others' opinions were never part of her consideration, and this change was simply expected; it wasn't something to be overly happy about, but rather something to accept calmly.

I'll also kick the person who bullied me back then.

Because the journey was quite long, Jiang Si planned to borrow a car from her second brother, Jiang Huang. Zheng Fan said he could buy one, not to mention that Luo Ye's bright red supercar was still with him, but Jiang Si insisted on borrowing it. As for why she didn't ask her eldest brother, Jiang Hui? Jiang Hui was a ruthless pragmatist, and the only vehicles in his privately-run zoo were simple, durable, and easy-to-drive minivans.

There were only two of them and one illusion, so they really didn't need such a large van.

Although Jiang Huang became the head of security at the Ginger Building, he secretly had a hobby of collecting various cars and manually modifying them.

Of course, you can't buy and sell vehicles in a violent world; it's said that he personally carried every car back to the garage from outside.

"Brother, lend me a car. Make sure it's powerful and durable enough that it won't be destroyed by a rocket." Jiang Si found Jiang Huang, who was sunbathing and personally sticking to his post outside the building repair site.

"Huh?" Jiang Huang's first reaction was surprise.

Who borrowed his car?

"What are you doing? Pick one for me. You don't know anything about cars after collecting so many, do you?" Jiang Si said, arms crossed, looking quite grown up.

"...No!" After a long silence, Jiang Huang suddenly shouted.

"Tsk, you damn bro, looks like I forgot to give you a New Year's gift!" Jiang Si spat and slapped him across the face.

Jiang Huang met the attack with a well-prepared whip kick.

The following scene shows the brother and sister loving each other.

A moment later, Jiang Si dragged Jiang Huang, whose leg had been broken, away from the scene. She then said to the security guard next to her, "I'll borrow your captain for a bit. If there's any problem, just tell my dad to complain about him and say he's bad."

"Uh... yes!"

Jiang Huang was already spitting out his soul, barely clinging to life as his beloved sister dragged him away.

"I'm so envious," Luo Xingxing said with a sigh as she watched from the side.

“What the hell is there to envy?” Zheng Fan said.

"I'm so envious of this kind of thing. I have two older brothers and one younger sister. One of my brothers tried to rape my sister but was killed by her. However, my sister couldn't beat the other brother. I was passing by and took pity on her, so I helped kill the last brother. Then my sister suddenly stabbed me in the back and I killed her too."

"...Envy me, be envious, you really should be envious." The black sparrow doll perched on Luo Xingxing's shoulder, its little wings patting Luo Xingxing's head.

Alas, the emotions that only children find hard to understand are all contained within this.
