94: Chapter 94 Brother, why don't you become a concubine?
That day, the riot of the Disaster Beast did not disturb the normal life in Dongcheng City.
However, after the video of the Disaster Beast riot was uploaded by the citizens of Dongcheng City, it indeed caused Dongcheng City to hit hundreds of trending topics again.
The trending topics were refreshed so intensely that almost every minute a new one would push to the top.
Even the trending keywords meant to boost his brother's popularity were drowned in the vast ocean of public attention.
"Major Disaster Beast Incident in Dongcheng City, Zero Casualties."
"The Great Sage's Mysterious Recovery Method Restored Even the Broken Bricks and Cracks on the Buildings Exactly."
"Dongcheng City, The Most Dangerous City."
"Dongcheng City, The Safest City."
...
...
Messages like these were gaining higher viewership almost every second, with the heat soaring continuously.
In contrast, the trains heading to Dongcheng City were fully booked on every run.
Every carriage was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, as if arriving a moment later meant losing the chance to find a place to stay in this city.
Dongcheng City, the safest city.
The housing prices in Dongcheng City soared again. The natives living in Dongcheng City were winning big time, even if they just lazed around at home.
Of course, Fang Xun was completely unaware of these matters and didn't care in the slightest.
He was staring at the photo of black silk stockings sent by Lu Li, and the passive trigger for the surge in his internal phase was activated.
It really wasn't his fault; it was simply the perfect timing and setting.
The quilt was warm and soft, his phone was in hand, and the Wi-Fi signal was full bars. If he didn't surge now, when would he?
Master Fang, who had been busy all day, slept exceptionally soundly that night.
Meanwhile, after returning from the Special Affairs Bureau, Jiang Qin quietly opened Fang Xun's door.
Originally, she wanted to sneak into her brother's bed just like when she was little to give him a surprise.
But as soon as she entered Fang Xun's room, Jiang Qin smelled that faint scent.
Looking up, Fang Xun's hand was still pressed against the phone screen, the faint light flickering in the dimness, appearing exceptionally dazzling in that environment.
Jiang Qin tiptoed and glimpsed the image on the screen at a glance.
"...Hmph..."
She let out a soft hum and quietly closed the door again.
It was just a pair of socks, how annoying.
...
...
The next day.
Fang Xun woke up.
He had indeed slept comfortably, having not slept so soundly in a long time.
Fang Xun first reached for his phone to check it.
Good heavens, the message notifications had completely flooded the screen.
Most were from Tang Xiaotang, some from Lu Li, and there were a few sparse messages from Qi Lian as well. Fang Xun first tapped into Qi Lian's chat box.
However, Good Lian Lian didn't say much, only asking if his brother's body felt uncomfortable or anything.
Fang Xun replied that he felt exceptionally well, then opened Tang Xiaotang's messages.
It turned out this girl had sent a huge batch, all of which were incomprehensible emoji packs, looking like she didn't know what to say, so she bombed him first.
Fang Xun hesitated for a long time before giving his reply.
Read.
After that, it was Lu Li's messages.
Lu Li had deliberately not bothered Fang Xun yesterday. After all, Fang Xun had displayed a great Divine Ability; he deserved a day off.
So, Lu Li only sent a message this morning, wanting Fang Xun to come over to her apartment.
Lu Li also attached a picture along with it.
The picture showed a large table covered with all sorts of snacks and Coca-Cola.
Fang Xun thoughtfully replied with a 'Read'.
Fang Xun had no desire to drink Coca-Cola.
Not even if he was a dog would he drink it for a hundred lifetimes.
After replying to the messages, Fang Xun rubbed his head and sat up.
He also reached for the Talismanic Incantation box beside him and took out the horse talisman to treat his brain.
"The effect is really good."
Fang Xun pressed the horse talisman to his forehead, and the feeling of Chaos filling his mind was swept away.
"My body is still far from its peak. I recall when Gongjin was young, he could release three times a day—morning, noon, and evening—and still run a thousand meters in physical education class."
Fang Xun sighed, tidied his clothes, and walked out the door.
He had collapsed too quickly yesterday and hadn't even taken off his clothes.
This saved him some trouble today.
Satisfied.
Upon going out, Fang Xun realized it was already noon.
Jiang Qin was not home at the moment.
But she had already prepared the meal and left it on the table.
She had even covered it tightly with a lid, afraid the dishes would get cold.
There was also a small note on the table, a message for Fang Xun.
The siblings really liked this method of leaving notes.
'Brother, I went to school. The ability class for the morning and afternoon is about to start. Eat well, and stop looking at suggestive photos and videos so often.'
Fang Xun looked at the small note, let out a sharp 'tsk,'
Then he picked up the note, hooked his finger, and placed the note into a large box floating out of his room.
Fang Xun unlocked the combination lock, smoothed out the note, and put it inside.
The little thing was quite controlling.
Fang Xun waved his hand and sent the box floating back, then looked at the feast before him.
"Hmm? How did I just gain the ability to telekinetically move things?" Only when Fang Xun sat down did he remember this matter.
"Never mind, it's quite useful anyway."
Fang Xun clicked his tongue but didn't dwell on it for too long. Everything he could do now could be explained away by the Great Power of Illusion; it didn't matter.
Just as Fang Xun was enjoying his meal, the door to his house was slowly pushed open, leaving a crack.
Creak.
The door of the old house was naturally not very smooth.
This sound immediately alerted Fang Xun.
Fang Xun turned his head and saw Tang Xiaotang peeking her head out with an embarrassed expression.
"Xiao Tang?"
Fang Xun saw the girl and was surprisingly at a loss for what to do.
That day, that incident was...
"Cough, brother."
Tang Xiaotang coughed dryly and still walked in.
Tang Xiaotang, who was usually incredibly assertive, now showed a hint of restraint.
"Um... that thing... that day..." Fang Xun looked at Tang Xiaotang's face, and his gaze actually drifted a bit.
He was a human after all; in that situation, it was hard to say anyone wouldn't make a mistake...
But, wrong is wrong.
Fang Xun admitted it. He would properly...
"I will take responsibility, brother.", Tang Xiaotang directly interrupted Fang Xun's train of thought and then looked at him very seriously.
This sentence immediately rendered Fang Xun silent.
Responsibility, take responsibility for what! Was this a matter of responsibility or not? Even if it was about taking responsibility, shouldn't it be him?
Tang Xiaotang looked at Fang Xun, who was deep in thought, and continued:
"Brother, you are a good person. But you are Jiang Qin's brother. There won't be any good outcome between you and me."
Fang Xun was about to say something, but Tang Xiaotang's shift in tone silenced him again.
"Huh?"
"Brother, my feelings for Jiang Qin are clear to the heavens. Although that day was a misunderstanding, things have come to this."
At this point, Tang Xiaotang took a deep breath.
"Brother, why don't you be the younger one instead? Wait until I marry Jiang Qin, and then I will come to marry you."
"Huh?"
