Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

Jin Xiaoman admitted that Knowles' people were quite powerful, and if they weren't fighting on her raft, she would have been happy to watch such a wonderful battle.

The raft couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered into pieces on the spot in the third second the two started fighting.

Thirty seconds into the fight, Kane had three teeth knocked out by Lilith's punch.

Forty seconds into the fight, Kane lost an arm.

Sixty seconds into the fight, Kane was left with a bruised and swollen face, slurring his words, and floating on the water, his fate unknown.

Jin Xiaoman grimaced as she watched, covering her eyes with her two paws.

Her suggestion was to play a trick on Kane, plunder all his money as punishment, and then gently guide Kane to understand Sisyphus's intentions, to see if she could eliminate Kane's hostility towards her.

The people of Knowles were cursed by the gods and could not speak of many things, but Jin Xiaoman was not; she could speak of everything at will.

Lilith objected to the suggestion, saying that Kane was a brat who needed to be taught a lesson, and that everything had to be done after he was thoroughly beaten up, otherwise he wouldn't understand human speech.

Jin Xiaoman sighed and raised her hand: "Add five points to the left side."

Upon hearing this, the half-dead Kane sat bolt upright in shock: "Me? Add five points?"

Its brain, which wasn't good at thinking, finally started to think.

This is really strange. Why do I get extra points even when I lose?

Could it be that the older sister has already figured out that she is the imposter between the two of them, but is showing favoritism because she is the younger sister?

"hey-hey."

Kane gave Jin Xiaoman a sheepish smile and scratched his head: "This isn't a good idea. You're being so biased; she'll be angry."

Jin Xiaoman: "The left side has a total of eight points, and the right side has a negative three points, so I declare that the left side is..."

Kane stared at Jin Xiaoman with his mouth agape, his eyes wide with excitement.

"The one on the left is the fake Jin Xiaoman."

"Huh?"

Kane's eyes widened: "I'm an eight out of ten? You're saying I'm faking it?"

Jin Xiaoman: "Yeah, the lower the score, the more real it is. Didn't I tell you?"

Kane: "What the hell are you talking about...?"

"oops."

Kane covered his head and looked at Lilith: "Why did you hit me? I'm warning you, I may not be able to beat you now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to beat you in the future. You'll die by my hand sooner or later."

Lilith, expressionless, delivered another punch.

Kane gritted his teeth: "What are you pretending for? Don't think I can't see through you and look down on me. You and I don't use the same old tricks, they're so clumsy."

Jin Xiaoman: "Alright, stop arguing. I'll announce it again: the one on the right isn't Jin Xiaoman either."

Kane: "???"

What does that mean? So both Jin Xiaomans on site were fake?

Where is it really?

Jin Xiaoman shook herself, brushing the rainwater off her hair: "I'll announce again..."

Kane screamed, pointing at Lilith: "I know, you really are Jin Xiaoman, and you even tried to conspire with my sister to lie to me, you're dead!"

Jin Xiaoman tossed another raft for the two to stand on: "Silence, actually I am the real Jin Xiaoman."

Kane turned around stiffly, then burst out laughing: "Ha, you're Jin Xiaoman, hahahaha."

"Are you Jin Xiaoman?"

Hahahahahaha.

"You are Jin Xiaoman?"

It turned to look at Lilith and knelt down with a thud: "Sister, I was wrong."

The rain intensified, the wind howled, and the blows were cold and painful against the face. The air grew increasingly damp, cold, and heavy, but none of this was as chilling as Kane's heart at that moment.

It lowered its head, as if it wished it could bury its head in the ground.

Good heavens, what has it done? It fought with its sister and even gave her the middle finger.

Kane kept ramming his head against the raft.

It would be better if it were dead.

As it kept crashing, it seemed to understand something.

Everything that happened today was because the older sister wanted to tell it that Jin Xiaoman was very important, so important that it personally participated in this farce to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Lilith and Jin Xiaoman switched back the moment Kane knelt down.

At Lilith's prompting, Jin Xiaoman jumped onto the raft and received an apology from Kane.

In front of Jin Xiaoman, Lilith clearly told Kane what exactly happened on the day Sisyphus was injured.

Although she heard it in fits and starts, Jin Xiaoman still managed to piece together the truth of the matter.

Just as she guessed, Sisyphus was injured because he told her about Hythir. However, she wondered why Sisyphus would bring it up on purpose. She had many guesses, but she never expected it to be for fighting against the gods.

After learning the whole story, Kane, under Lilith's watchful gaze, transformed back into his cat form and lay weakly on the raft.

Lilith: "I have sealed your 'warp' ability. Don't try to leave partition 888 for the time being."

Kane drooped his ears and stopped talking.

Jin Xiaoman could tell that it was resentful and still wanted to kill her.

Jin Xiaoman also believes that Kane's hostility towards her has a deeper reason besides Sisyphus.

But it's okay, let's leave it at that for today.

Besides the fact that she quite likes Kane, there's also Lilith's behavior today.

It could have stopped Kane silently, or it could have chosen to completely ignore it, but it did neither. Instead, it involved Jin Xiaoman completely, letting her gradually understand the whole story.

It made its stance clear to Jin Xiaoman that it and Jin Xiaoman could be allies, and Knowles had no intention of being Jin Xiaoman's enemy.

It also demonstrated its power to Jin Xiaoman, showing that it could control all of Knowles' existing citizens and protect Jin Xiaoman from harm.

Most importantly, it could have gotten away with it, but instead it gave Kane a real beating.

So, just as Lilith was about to disappear with Kane in her mouth, Jin Xiaoman waved and said, "If possible, I will try my best to find a medicine to heal Sisyphus's wounds in the next dungeon. Don't worry too much."

Lilith paused for a moment, then disappeared from Jin Xiaoman's sight without ever looking back.

It was actually a bit hard to face Jin Xiaoman, because from beginning to end, Jin Xiaoman was the most innocent one. She knew nothing and was just passively drawn into this conflict.

After pausing for a while, Jin Xiaoman picked up a ball of light that Lilith had left behind and put it in her backpack. Then she continued to wade through the floodwaters to catch moonfish and practice her control.

After releasing countless moonfish, Jin Xiaoman heard a clear, crisp sound, like a wind chime.

"jingle--"

I'd like to bow to everyone. I've been too busy today, and I'm worried that what I'm writing in a rush might not be good, so I'm taking a day off. I hope you can forgive me and not scold me.
