Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Like a frightened kitten, Shana's forehead was covered in sweat from nervousness. Her stiff body caused her to make repeated mistakes, producing jarring sounds in the tense living room. But the more mistakes she made, the more nervous she became, and the more nervous she became, the more mistakes she made. Shana wished she could disappear into the ground.

"It's alright, Sister-in-law Xia Fei. What's wrong with exchanging a few more words in greeting? We've been waiting long enough, and the tea would have gone cold by now."

"No, the tea hasn't gotten cold."

"Sane, quickly serve the tea to the guests."

"Excuse me, ma'am."

Xia Fei's impatience grew increasingly apparent, and the strange, tense atmosphere made Shanin even more nervous, her hands trembling uncontrollably. Xia Fei was very dissatisfied with Shanin's performance; she had already been slow to serve tea, and now, in her haste, she had made a mistake, further humiliating herself. This was no ordinary day; she was the one in charge of the Ushiro Palace's affairs, and yet she had completely lost face.

"Don't do that, Sister-in-law Xiafei. Shanin has tried her best. It would be too pitiful for her if you continued to bully her." Ushiromiya Ryufufu seemed to have been unable to bear it any longer and spoke up to persuade her.

"I didn't bully her."

Xia Fei explained, and Wu Jiang, sensing the awkward atmosphere, cleverly changed the subject. However, Wu Jiang didn't want her good intentions to backfire.

"This tea smells wonderful! Could you tell me the name of the tea?"

"I'm very sorry, I'll look into it right away." Kirie meant well and wanted to change the subject, but she seemed to be putting Shana in a difficult position. Shana's answer made Natsuhi even angrier, and the already strained atmosphere became even worse.

"What's wrong? Shana, don't you even know what kind of tea you brewed? How can you serve tea of ​​unknown origin to our guests? Doesn't that mean we have to use silver spoons to drink it?"

"I'm sorry, I'll get right on it."

"Sane, do you know what a silver spoon is used for? It has to be made of silver, do you know why?"

“No, this…”

Eiha's mischievous smile was surprisingly cute, and his words were undoubtedly like sharp blades striking at the heart of the matter. Sane didn't dare look Eiha in the eye, and Roza, noticing Sane's predicament, stepped in to help.

"It is said that when Ginichi comes into contact with poison, its color will become dull. Shana, you've learned a lesson."

"Sis, you don't need any silver cutlery. One touch of your sharp tongue and even a silver plate will turn completely black."

"I listen to her sharp tongue every day, and I've become immune to it. Huiyu, you too. It's okay for me to be sharp-tongued, but you should always be a little more lenient with people you're not immune to. Wahahaha."

"That's too much. I was just teaching Shana about tea."

Although their methods for defusing the awkward situation were somewhat lacking, everyone still managed to smile, which can be considered a successful resolution to the previous predicament.

After serving the tea, Shana already wanted to leave. Kirie felt a little apologetic and whispered something to Shana, who nodded in response and then left without looking back.

Over there in the corridor.

Shana wanted to get to a secluded place as soon as possible, not wanting anyone to see her disheveled state, but things didn't go as planned.

"Don't be discouraged, your sister didn't do anything wrong," Jia Yin comforted her sister, Shan Yin.

"Have you seen it all?"

“This is my duty.” Jia Yin finished speaking and continued angrily, “Madam and Miss Huiyu both deserve to go to hell, but the most despicable one is that guy.”

Jia Yin glared fiercely towards the living room. After all, she knew that the lateness wasn't Sha Yin's fault, yet she was blaming Sha Yin for everything. Xia Fei was truly the person Jia Yin hated most, but she didn't have much affection for Hui Yu either; they were birds of a feather.

"It's alright, Jiayin, thank you, I didn't think much of it,"

"..."

"Thank you. Even if only you, Jiayin, understand, it makes me feel a little better."

"My sister keeps too many things to herself. She should be kinder to herself sometimes."

"Thank you."

Just then, a man suddenly walked over. This man was the head steward, Genji. Genji was the head servant of the Ushiromiya family. He was the first servant to enter the Kinzo household. All the servants were called "furniture" by Kinzo, and the furniture was deprived of all human rights.

Lu Shangyuanji is Kinzo's direct subordinate. During the furniture faction struggle (time unknown), he was given the one-winged eagle crest of the Ushiromiya family. He is extremely loyal to Kinzo and is highly trusted by Kinzo. He is called "my friend" and thus serves as Kinzo's proxy, who has been living in seclusion for a long time. He can enter and leave Kinzo's room, but he is also disliked by Kinzo's children because of his close relationship with Kinzo.

"What are you doing over there? Sanon, hurry back to the kitchen."

"Yes, ma'am. Excuse me." Shanin replied somewhat nervously, and immediately turned and left after accepting the order. Meanwhile, Jiayin watched as the aggrieved Shanin silently protested against Lu Shangyuanci in her own way.

"..."

"Jiayin, what's wrong? What happened?"

“Sane didn’t do anything wrong, but those guys…”

"Jiayin, please stop talking. I'm sorry. I'll go back to work right away. Jiayin, please go back to your post too. I'm begging you."

"Since you say so, sister."

"Since there's nothing else, let's go back to work."

"Yes, excuse me."

Meanwhile, Jia Yin's conversation with Lu Shangyuan was witnessed by Granny Xiongze, who was hiding in the shadows. The most pitiful were Jia Yin and Shan Yin; they had done nothing wrong. However, Mr. Gota had always disliked the siblings, and thus was constantly finding fault with them.

October 4th, Saturday

Sat. 4 October 1986

Yingbin Hotel

Meanwhile, the younger generation was chatting happily. However, they varied in age, ranging from adults to high school students to elementary school students. Each had their own social circle and circle of friends, so in a sense, they had a lot to talk about.

"I think I'm finally getting used to it. It's no wonder that Zhu Zhixiang and Maria have grown up so much; it's impossible to imagine what they looked like six years ago. To be honest, I really don't recognize you guys, but as we chat like this, I realize that your inner qualities are exactly the same as before."

“I’m going to return those words to you. Lin Yan, aren’t you the same? Six years have passed and you haven’t changed at all. No matter how big you’ve grown, you’re still just a child.”

“Maria is a child too. Maria is a child too.”

“Maria won’t stay a child forever, will she? Because you’ll grow from a child into a cute princess, and your washboard-like breasts will soon grow to be just like Zhu Zhixiang’s, right? You have to promise me that you’ll let me rub them to my heart’s content.”

"I promise you. You can massage me."

"No, Maria. How can you agree to something like this? No, no, no!"

"If you promise, you have to let her rub it. Maria will keep her promise. Absolutely."

"Maria, you are such a good girl. Whoever becomes your husband in the future will be incredibly happy."

"Don't make it sound so sweet while secretly keeping the promise to yourself. Maria, this promise doesn't count. It doesn't count."

"Want to cancel the agreement?"

"It really feels like we juniors are all together when Lin Yan is here too. These past six years have been so lonely."

“That’s true. We’ve never been this reckless before. But I do think the topics we’ve discussed in the past few years have been quite constructive, such as our attitude towards the future, and how we approach exams and job hunting.”

"I'm so sorry. All I do when I arrive is act silly and fool around."

“But Maria feels happier this year.”

“Yes, I feel the same way. This year has been the happiest.” Ryo gently patted Maria’s head, and Maria smiled happily, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

A sudden knock sounded at the door, followed by the voice of a young, gentle woman. Zhu Zhixiang immediately recognized it as Shanin's voice and responded cheerfully.

"Excuse me, the meal is ready."

"Shayin, come in. Do you still remember Lin Yan?"

"It's been a long time, Young Master Lin Yan. I'm Sha Yin. It's been six years since we last met." Sha Yin was still somewhat flustered. She glanced at Lin Yan cautiously, then bowed respectfully.

"Don't be so reserved, it's been a long time, Shayin. You've really grown up and become more and more beautiful." Lin Yan praised Shayin politely, noticing her restraint.

"You flatter me, I am humbled."

"Just relax, Shayin." Lin Yan knew that being a servant in this family was definitely not an easy job, so he hoped Shayin wouldn't be too nervous, at least not in front of him. Although he knew that a few words wouldn't be enough to dispel Shayin's concerns, he could only do his best.

"Thank you, young master," Shayin said shyly.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Lin Yan still wore a gentlemanly smile. It's worth noting that the former "Warrior" was a notorious little pervert, capable of anything as blatantly attacking Sha Yin. Sha Yin also noticed the change; the boy had grown into an outstanding young man, elegant and handsome.

"Six years ago, I thought you were just a servant's child, but now you can stand on your own. How many years have you been working here?"

"Thanks to you, I have been serving here for ten years."

"Lin Yan, Jia Yin, whom we just met in the garden, is her younger brother."

"He's not really my younger brother, but he treats me with the same respect as an older sister. I wonder if he's been rude to anyone?"

"Still the same old story. It would be a shame if he were a little nicer."

"It seems Jia Yin has caused everyone trouble. I'm very sorry,"

“There’s nothing to worry about. As a guy myself, I know very well that he’s at a sensitive age, so it’s perfectly natural for him to be a little rude.”

“Maria is often criticized too. People say she has a bad attitude. Just like Jiayin.”

“Miss Maria would never be rude.”

“Maria wants the same thing,”

"You just said lunch is ready?"

“Yes, Young Master. My apologies. Lunch is ready. I will lead you to the main house.” Shana gave a solemn and respectful bow.

"Let's go over there then, everyone must be hungry."

“I think so too. When Mr. Gota is around, meals are really something to look forward to. I heard he used to be the head chef at a famous hotel, and his culinary skills are quite remarkable.”

"This is so exciting, Maria."

"Alright, let's go, let's go."

Shana led the group of four to the mansion, and walking through the rose garden again still felt like a dream. Further ahead was the main mansion of the Ushiromiya family, a magnificent building with a strong sense of history, which could be considered the residence of an absolute tycoon in this era.

At the entrance, an elderly servant came out to greet them; he was Genji.

"Young Master Lin Yan, it's been a long time."

“Mr. Genji, it’s been so long! You look great.”

"Thanks to you, I'm still in pretty good health. Young Master Lin Yan, you've grown so much, you look a bit like the old master when he was young."

"Me and my grandfather look alike? Then I bet he was a hot commodity when he was young."

"I will now lead the way for you in place of Shanon. This way, please."

Seat 011

As soon as we entered the foyer, we were greeted by an elderly servant. I even remembered him.

"Next, I will lead the way for you in place of Shanon. This way, please."

Sanon bowed politely to the cervix, then quietly withdrew to attend to her own business. The younger generation was no longer the children they once were, but the butler Genji and the matriarch Kumazawa hadn't changed much; time seemed to have stood still for them.

The butler, Genji, was taciturn and appeared to be very upright.

This butler, Genji, spent more time by Ushiromiya Kinzo's side than anyone else, not even Ushiromiya Kinzo's wife.

According to Zhu Zhixiang, Haraji was highly regarded by Ushiromiya Kinzo.

Genji spent most of his life serving Ushiromiya Kinzo, so he must have some ability. It's only natural that he was highly regarded!

Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks. Maria, who was following behind him, planted herself directly on him.

Maria touched her nose and made a sound of dissatisfaction.

"I'm so sorry, Maria."

Lin Yan asked again, "Was there a painting hanging here before? Do you know when it was hung up?"

"I remember, if I'm not mistaken, it started the year before last."

“You’re right. The master commissioned a painter to create a painting a long time ago, but it wasn’t until April of the year before last that it was hung up for display.”

"Grandpa will specially hire a painter to paint portraits for people,"

It was an excellent oil painting, depicting an elegant woman in a gorgeous gown, a style that harmonized perfectly with the rest of the house.

The woman's exact age was hard to discern; her eyes were sharp and resolute, displaying a completely different temperament from the traditional middle-aged women one usually sees.

Ushiromiya Kinzo's wife was a black-haired woman, which clearly does not match the characteristics of the portrait, while the woman in the portrait has beautiful blonde hair, which is obviously a foreign feature.

"Who is this noblewoman?"

After Lin Yan asked the question, Maria rushed to answer loudly.
