Chapter 71: 071: Relief

    After finishing what Yue Xuexia had planned in her mind, she woke up to the reality of killing people. But unlike when she ordered someone''s death with just words, this time she had done it with her own hands. Taiyang and Tan Bingyu thought she didn''t mind the killing at all, as they were still able to eat sushi for dinner without any problems.

    Even when they got back to the Moonlight Lake Mansion, Yue Xuexia remained calm as he comforted her mother, who woke up crying and looking for her daughter. Mama Yue never forgot that it wasn''t just her who was almost killed, but also her eldest daughter. It took a while for Papa Yue and Yue Xuexia to coax Mama Yue to sleep.

    "Pa, you can rest with Ma. Everything is handled. They shouldn''t be able to do such things ever again. Remember to always wear that amulet jade bracelet I gave you before, and also, I will increase the guards around the house and let them protect you whenever you get out," Yue Xuexia said.

    Papa Yue looked at his daughter worriedly. He didn''t know what his daughter did for her to say that everything was now alright. He also didn''t dare to ask, as he was afraid of letting Yue Xuexia recall whatever happened.

    "Xue''er, you... Sigh~, nothing. You should also take a rest for a few days. As for work, let Yangyang handle it for a while," Papa Yue said.

    Yue Xuexia was silent for a moment and said, "Pa, I''m alright. I''m more worried about Ma. I made this with some herbs and flowers. The scent will help her calm down." She passed a scented sachet to her father before going out to return to her own room. "Goodnight, Pa."

    "Sleep well, darling," Papa Yue said with a comforting smile towards his daughter.

    Yue Xuexia responded, "You too."

    Tan Bingyu was also told to rest while Taiyang returned to his small avatar form. Just when they thought everything was okay about Yue Xuexia, they didn''t know that the moment she returned to her room, she started puking everything she ate that night. Taiyang worriedly hovers around her. No matter what Yue Xuexia does, she can''t forget the scene of blood and death, as well as the fresh scent of blood. Just recalling it made her stomach churn. But she never asked for anyone''s help or comfort.

    Taiyang worriedly hovers around her, asking, "Xue''er, are you okay? I can remove that memory if it''s truly hard on you."

    [I can do it. It would be painless and you would forget everything that happened today.] The system''s words rang in her head.

    "No. No need. This is something I need to get used to. I know... that this will never be the last time. In the future, I would have to kill more to protect those who I want to protect. I am willing to do this!"

    Yue Xuexia shook her head with a pale expression. After emptying her stomach, she brushed her teeth as her calmness returned to her. The warm bath calms her nerves and lay down on the bed with an expression.

    Taiyang said, "If so, then take a rest now. With sleep, you should be able to accept everything."

    Yue Xuexia didn''t respond, as she was indeed tired. Wearing a onesie black rabbit, she unconscious curled in her sleep as if sleeping in this position gave her more security. This scene made Taiyang and the system watch over her worriedly.

    Taiyang whispered to the main body, "Are we really not going to remove her memories of today? She looks so stressed."

    [No. Xue''er is right. She needs to get used to this. In the future, when we are gone, only she can protect her loved ones. I will prepare some rewards which will help her get stronger.]

    Taiyang said, "Can''t I just stay with her as long as you live?"

    [No. Not fair.]@@@@

    Taiyang sighed. [Finally! My ears are free!]

    [You should have covered your eyes as well.]

    Yue Jixia grabbed her elder sister''s arm and said, "Dajie let''s eat chicken. I found a new store where you can eat all you can. There are a lot of new flavors. You love cheese, right? There is parmesan, sizzling cheese, cheddar, etc. there is even a cheese fondue. Also, there is a dessert buffet next door. I''m afraid of driving and Ruru drives her car like a race car. Let''s go, okay.?"

    "I''m going to shower first. Wait for me downstairs," Yue Xuexia said.

    Yue Jixia said, "We can bring Sister Bingyu and Yangyang with us!"

    "Well, invite Bingyu yourself; I will message Yangyang to bring a car over," Yue Xuexia said.

    Yue Jixia said, "I''m going to tell Sister Bingyu and check on Ruru."

    "Go. Close the door on your way out," Yue Xuexia said as she headed to the bathroom to shower.

    As for Yue Jixia, after successfully inviting her elder sister, she went to check on Ruxia, the youngest. They can just ask Sister Bingyu to join them on the way. She is their dajie''s bodyguard, after all. She would definitely go with them. As for Taiyang, he flew out of the house and pretended to come outside. He went out of the entrance of the subdivision and turned human somewhere safe.

    On their way out, Papa Yue and Mama Yue were watching TV in the living room and looked at them as they left.

    Papa Yue said, "Be careful on your way."

    "Bring so take out for dinner. I''m so tired shopping this morning. Not cooking," Mama Yue said.

    Yue Jixia said, "Okay. We''ll bring home a huge bucket for you with many flavors!"

    Yue Xuexia nods towards her father and sneaks a peek at her mother. Seeing that Mama Yue had forgotten what happened, she sighed silently in relief. The sisters, together with Tan Bingyu and their driver, Taiyang, head to a newly opened restaurant cafe in the city.

    Since they were going to have an eat-all-you-can chicken, the sisters were wearing loose garments on them. Yue Jixia was wearing a huge white hoodie and black leggings, paired with white doll shoes. On the other hand, Yue Ruxia is wearing a one-piece solid-color loose dress and rubber shoes.

    As for Yue Xuexia, she wore brown shorts and knitted loose beige long sleeves. The younger sisters knew that it was their elder sister''s treat and only brought a phone with them. As for Yue Xuexia, she is prepared for a small sling bag where she can place her phone, wallet, hand sanitizer, handkerchief, and wet wipes.

    Taiyang drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom won by Yue Xuexia from the system. They head to a location that is quite filled with customers. It''s a newly opened store that is quite popular and located in the center of the city. The business is booming, and thankfully, Yue Jixia has reserved a table on their way here.

    "Welcome. The reservation has been checked. Please follow me to private table 1. This way, please," the waiter who welcomed them said.

    The appearance of the sisters was top-notch, so as soon as they entered the restaurant, a lot of eyes fell on them. But because of Tan Bingyu''s bodyguard uniform and Taiyang''s presence, no men dared to approach. They were given a warning with Taiyang''s cold gaze.
