’This kid’s father died in battle when he was three.’

’To that heartless woman, Jiang Huan, Beastmen who die in battle have no value and are immediately forgotten.’

’Once his father died, the boy was cast aside. His support payments were completely cut off, and he started accumulating debt.’

’He was malnourished and living a miserable life, yet he still looked out for the original host and his own sister.’

’He even secretly taught those bullying girls a lesson on the original host’s behalf.’

’Later, the original host was abducted and killed by a corrupted Jun Yao. Because of their contract, Ming Ye, Fu Yuan, and Si Xie all died with her.’

’The original four great villains died prematurely, and destiny was rewritten. This kid, however, became the new villain.’

’He relentlessly targeted Ling Ze and Jiang Wanwan’s family, and in the end, he also met a tragic death.’

Si Xie: "???"

’The four great villains?’

’I’m on that list?’

After hearing all these thoughts, he began to piece things together.

If this woman hadn’t arrived, the original Jiang Yunnuan would have been tortured and killed by a corrupted Jun Yao. And because of their contract, the three of them would have died with her.

On top of this plotline, there was another one that had been overwritten.

The four of them were originally supposed to be the villains. He didn’t know what their story as villains would have been, but it certainly wouldn’t have ended with them dying as sacrificial pawns.

After all, she had mentioned that their fates were rewritten.

Combining that with what she’d said before about stealing fortune from the heroine, Si Xie’s gaze shifted. He seemed to have realized something.

While he was lost in thought, Jiang Yunnuan’s inner monologue had stopped at some point.

She reached out and grabbed Jiang Wang’s wrist. An emerald-green light flowed between their touching skin.

The bleeding from the boy’s wounds stopped at a rate visible to the naked eye.

’Is this... Healing?’

Jiang Tang’s eyes widened, and she watched the scene in shock and delight.

’Big Sister actually awakened a power! I knew it! She isn’t useless at all!’

’She’s Uncle Yun’s daughter! How could the daughter of a peerless and brilliant War God like Uncle Yun possibly be useless?’

A dozen or so seconds later, Jiang Yunnuan retracted her Superpower and let go of Jiang Wang’s wrist.

"The bleeding has stopped, but the wounds haven’t fully healed yet. My power is still weak, so I can’t heal it all in one go."

’It’s not that I can’t heal it all at once, but doing so would consume all of my Superpower.’

’I still have a check-in task to do. I’ll finish healing him after we get back to our place.’

"It’s okay, Big Sister! Just stopping the bleeding is enough. I’m sure my brother will recover just fine."

Jiang Tang quickly said, trying to comfort her.

Although he wasn’t completely healed, Jiang Wang had much more energy. He propped himself up and sat up from the ground, his jet-black eyes fixed on Jiang Yunnuan.

"Th... Thank you."

The usually calm boy suddenly sounded inexplicably flustered.

Jiang Yunnuan’s lips curved into a light smile. "Who are you thanking? Call me Big Sister."

The boy pressed his lips together, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. He hesitated, not saying a word, which made Jiang Tang anxious.

"Brother, haven’t you called her that many times in private? Why are you getting shy in front of her?"

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Oh? He’s shy?’

’Oh well. I won’t make things difficult for the little guy.’

"Is that so? I’ll let you off the hook this time, then. You can call me that later. Wait here for me."

With that, she got up and walked into the task area. Step by step, she trod across the designated spot in a sequence, never repeating a step or missing her mark.

Watching her familiar movements, Si Xie instantly understood why she had climbed onto the roof in the middle of the night and why she had insisted on going into Ming Ye’s room.

It was for what she called her "check-in tasks."

All she had to do was find certain precise coordinates to complete the task and receive a generous reward.

After figuring this out, the corners of Si Xie’s lips curled up. He felt an indescribable sense of envy.

’This woman’s cheats are really something else.’

A few minutes later, Jiang Yunnuan received a notification that the task was complete.

She didn’t rush to claim her reward.

She walked over to them and said, "Jiang Tang, Jiang Wang, you two should stay with us for the next few days."

"Can we, Big Sister? Won’t we be a bother?" Jiang Tang asked, looking at her cautiously.

Jiang Yunnuan didn’t answer her right away, instead turning to look at Si Xie.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"Oh, but doesn’t King Jiang always call the shots in our house? How could I dare have an opinion? However, I just don’t know if Jun Yao will have a problem with it. That guy is barbaric and tyrannical. He might be mean to our little brother and sister."

The first half of his sentence was delivered with a fawning smile, but the second half was spoken through gritted teeth. He ruthlessly seized the opportunity to slander Jun Yao.

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Why does this guy never miss a chance to bad-mouth Jun Yao?’
