Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

"enough!"

It seemed that Su Shi's words reminded Xiangzi of the beautiful things they had once shared. Suppressing the urge to cry, Xiangzi steeled himself once more.

"I don't want to listen to your long-winded rant anymore. I'll say it right now: Kuresiku will NOT be resurrected!"

Xiangzi said his last words through gritted teeth, looking up at Baiye.

However, Bai Ye currently appears completely indifferent.

Su Shi didn't notice Xiangzi's current abnormality. She just lowered her head in despair, and then suddenly, just like a famous scene from the original work, she did something else.

"do not want!"

"If it weren't for Xiao Xiang, Watashi..."

Then, Su Shi actually did this, disregarding the fact that this was still the entrance to 'RiNG', under the utterly astonished gazes of the people coming and going to enter 'RiNG'.

He immediately knelt down before Xiangzi with a "thump".

"Please! I'll do anything if Xiao Xiang can come back!"

As he spoke, he tried to reach out and hug Xiangzi's leg, but Xiangzi dodged him with a quick movement and then narrowed his eyes.

Faced with Su Shi, who was so obsequious in front of her, Xiangzi finally felt as if she had regained her dignity as a young lady.

He reprimanded her in a very impolite tone.

"What kind of awareness do you have when you say that? You're just a student, do you have the right to bear the burden of other people's lives? If you can't do it, don't just say it!"

"You can..."

"Alright! I'll interrupt here for a moment!"

Bai Ye interrupted Xiao Xiang's attempt to utter the accusation from the original work, "You are truly arrogant and condescending."

How to put it? A proud young lady standing up says that the girl kneeling on the ground in front of her is superior to her?

Bai Ye, however, felt that the person who formed a band, then encountered family problems, and disbanded the band without explaining to his teammates was the one who was truly arrogant and condescending.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had had a magical attack blocked by Bai Ye, was quite unhappy with Bai Ye's interference.

"Who are you? Why did you suddenly interrupt my conversation with Xiaoxiang?"

Well... that's just how simps are.

Even knowing that he would be reprimanded by the goddess, he would still subconsciously defend his goddess after Bai Ye suddenly interrupted him.

Bai Ye simply gave a somewhat wicked smile.

"Who am I? Ha!"

"Miss, you're called Nagasaki Motoyo, right? The woman you were just bothering, Toyokawa Shoko, is now my personal maid. So who do you think I am!"

"impossible!"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's explanation, Nagasaki Motoyo's first reaction was disbelief.

"Because Xiao Xiang is clearly..."

"The eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, is that right?"

Bai Ye had already said what the girl wanted to say beforehand.

"But the Toyokawa family is now bankrupt! They've been completely acquired by my family. That's why this young lady named Toyokawa Shoko has become my maid."

Upon hearing Bai Ye reveal that Xiao Xiang's family had gone bankrupt and that she had become a maid, the veteran members of the C group around them were all quite surprised.

"So that's why Xiangzi suddenly left the band?"

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

The next moment, he immediately regarded Bai Ye as the culprit who broke up his band.

In Su Shi's own imagination, even Xiao Xiang's harsh words to her just now were only because of Bai Ye's orders, and she was forced to do so.

Su Shi wanted to protect Xiangzi like Li Xi protected a lamp, but Xiangzi simply didn't accept Su Shi's kindness.

The girl just bit her lower lip and glared at Bai Ye with hatred. Now, her secret was known to the very people she least wanted to know.

If it weren't for Bai Ye, who could threaten him, still being there, Xiangzi would have even considered just wiping Xiao Zhenzhu away and running away.

But even if she ran, where could she run to now? The more Xiangzi thought about it, the more her eyes welled up with tears.

She wanted to cry, but her strong sense of pride helped her stop.

It seemed that Nagasaki Motoyo also saw Shoko's expression, as if she was about to cry, and Motoyo was now completely certain that Shoko was being forced into this situation.

He immediately glared at Bai Ye with the look of someone who had seen a major villain.

"What do you want from Xiao Xiang?"

"Let it go?"

However, Bai Ye's expression became increasingly mocking.

"What you're saying is so strange! Xiangzi becoming my maid was her own choice. I didn't force her. If you don't believe me, ask Xiangzi yourself if that's the case."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately turned her gaze to Xiao Xiang, whom she had been longing for.

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head, looked at Su Shi, and then at Bai Ye. She really wanted to directly refute Bai Ye.

"Although you didn't force me, you kept threatening me with my father."

But even though the words were on the tip of his tongue, Xiangzi felt he simply couldn't bring himself to say them.

In the end, he could only nod slightly, as if to confirm that Bai Ye had not forced him to speak.

"But..."

Even after seeing Xiangzi nod, Su Shi still didn't believe it. She couldn't believe that the gentle Xiangzi she knew would willingly become a maid for a boy like Bai Ye, even though Bai Ye looked incredibly handsome.

But Xiao Xiang is definitely not such a superficial person; there must be some other reason behind it.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo directly unleashed her unreasonable and stubborn nature, and simply resorted to shamelessness.

"I still don't believe it! You must have threatened Xiaoxiang with your eyes just now! If you don't tell me why Xiaoxiang became your maid, I'll call the police right here and accuse you of imprisoning a minor!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed 110, as if this was the only solution Su Shi could think of.

"Ha...haha...hahaha!"

Bai Ye almost laughed when he heard that Su Shi actually wanted to call the police.

If you just finished calling the Japanese police station, and they know you were reporting to Bai Ye, they immediately transfer the call to Bai Ye's phone, wouldn't you be furious?

I remember that a certain warlord in my past life did the same thing.

"Since you've made me so happy, I'll tell you! Xiangzi's father owes me 168 billion yuan. Xiangzi came to me as a maid to pay off the debt so that her father wouldn't be arrested and imprisoned."

"What? You keep saying you want to save Xiao Xiang, so why don't you help her pay off this 168 billion? If you can't do that, then please stop disturbing our newly formed band's first practice."

"..."

I finally learned the truth, but...

Nagasaki Motoyo was truly unable to say anything more.

Even a girl who has never worried about money knows that 168 billion is a sum that would take her thousands of years to pay off, even if she saved every penny of her mother's salary as a senior executive in her company.

The naive girl finally felt the harsh reality of society.

"Let's go!"

Nagasaki Motoyo finally stopped causing any more trouble.

Bai Ye then led everyone into 'RiNG', where they rented a training room and a full set of band equipment.

It's worth mentioning that, having witnessed the scene just now, Shiina Tatsuki seemed afraid that her idol, Kodama, would also be bullied by Byakuya. She also greeted the receptionist, asked for leave, and then followed Byakuya and the others into the practice room.

Finally, led by Bai Ye, mygo was ready to begin the band's first opening rehearsal.

"Um... is it really okay to leave her alone?"

However, the kind-hearted Aine seemed to see Nagasaki Motoyo, who was left alone and dejected at the door.

Some people, feeling a pang of conscience, began to question Bai Ye.

"It's fine!"

Bai Ye simply smiled at this.

"I bet she'll be back to her senses in a few minutes, and she might even join your band as a member!"

"what!?"

Aine didn't understand the basis for Baiye's statement.

However, Bai Ye, who had read the original novel and had a deep understanding of Su Shi's obsession with Xiangzi in the early stages, did know this.

Even after experiencing the harsh reality of what she had just faced, Su Shi's belief in restoring C-group could not be so easily extinguished.

Given Su Shi's personality, if a direct approach doesn't work, she'll probably think of a roundabout way to achieve her goal!

And now, the only chance for him to stay by Xiangzi's side is...

"jump!"

The door to the practice room was pushed open instantly by a girl with brown hair.

Just as Bai Ye had said, the girl who had been feeling dejected at the door just moments before pushed the door open and swaggered in.

And just as Bai Ye had predicted.

"I want to join your band too!"

Su Shi's loud shout drew everyone's attention to her in the practice room.

However, Su Shi showed no embarrassment and spoke earnestly.

"You just said you're a newly formed band, right? With Xiaodeng as the lead singer and Xiangzi as the keyboardist, Lixi can join as the drummer. And finally, there's this innocent-looking pink-haired guy—I don't know what he is, but he doesn't look like a bassist!"

"An innocent look?! Pink hair?!"

Aine is angry?!

Because she didn't need to use Aine as a tool like in the original story, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't pretend to be a rich young lady to win Aine's favor this time.

On the contrary, she revealed her true colors from the very beginning, which made Ai Yin, who initially felt sorry for Su Shi, instantly lose all sympathy for her.

However, Su Shi ignored the pink-haired girl's thoughts and continued talking to herself.

"Judging from your current lineup, you're probably missing a bassist like me. So, I think joining your newly formed band shouldn't be a problem!"

Nagasaki Motoyo excitedly began to recommend herself.

"Then in a couple of days you'll bring Xiao Mu over, and Kulaixiku will just be resurrected with a new name, right?"

"That's right! Ah... no!"

It seemed that she had inadvertently let Bai Ye probe her inner thoughts.

Nagasaki Motoyo sensed something was wrong and covered her mouth.

However, Bai Ye directly poured cold water on the girl's feelings.

"Although I don't know what you've misunderstood, the Xiangzi you're so attached to isn't one of the members of the band we've formed!"

"What..."

"Xiangzi is just my maid who came with me, and I'm just playing music with my daughter. Oh, and that innocent-looking pink-haired girl you just mentioned is the one who started this band!"

"what?"

Seemingly sensing that things had developed in a way that was completely unexpected, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned once again.

Even so, you still want to join Ai Yin's band?

"I..."

Nagasaki Motoyo hesitated for a moment, but made a decision after thinking about it for a while.

"I'll join!"

After all, this was the only way he could continue to contact Xiangzi.

Su Shi was certain that if she missed this opportunity to join the band and connect with Bai Ye and the others, she probably wouldn't even have the chance to contact Xiangzi again.

Now that I've joined the band, at least I can see Xiangzi every day in the band's practice room.
