Chapter 132 Yuri's Big Battle Against Qing Ya_2
Only Ke Mingye knew that Big Brother might even be richer than Dad.
In Ke Yinzhi's bank account, there was likely a sum of money that couldn't be spent in several lifetimes, but it couldn't be used openly. Only when Dad was not at home could he squander a bit in Dad's name.
This week, Big Brother had managed to redeem the goodwill he'd lost in front of his family over the past few years due to his excessive neuroticism. Everyone was giving thumbs up, saying your cooking skills are even better than Mom's.
And they all hoped that Mom and Dad would go on more honeymoon trips outside, ideally not returning until after the summer vacation ended, to overthrow Bai Wenna's tyranny and establish a world where everyone has an equal say.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
Of course, when Mom returned home, they'd have to change their tune and say, "Old mother, your cooking is much better than Big Brother's. This week we couldn't even eat our fill, and we've been losing sleep."
However, Ke Mingye also knew that in reality, it would be very simple for Bai Wenna to make each meal delicious.
After all, the learning abilities of an alien were right there. Otherwise, how could she have managed to stay hidden in the human world for so long without being discovered?
Sitting on the sofa and not watching TV for long, Bai Zini went home. She folded up her dripping wet collapsible umbrella, removed her shoes, and stepped into the foyer.
At this moment, she hung her head low, recalling what had just happened.
She and Xiaohongmao stepped on the school's windowsill and flew into the sky, holding the umbrella as they passed through a rainbow, while raindrops went pitter-patter against the umbrella.
In the drizzling curtain of rain, that indifferent yet beautiful face was at close range. The shimmering rainbow light adorned the corner of her eyes like a touch of makeup. The girl's figure and the rainbow in the rain overlapped, her Christmas-style dress fluttering in the air like a blooming rose.
"Why do I care about her so much, seeing that we've only met a few times..." Bai Zini thought.
She sighed, intending to go upstairs to rest, but upon seeing Ke Mingye sitting on the sofa out of the corner of her eye, she stopped and sat beside him.
Ke Mingye asked, "Where've you been?"
Bai Zini answered, "Went out to play with a friend, but it started raining, so we had to cancel our plans and I came back."
As she spoke, she rolled up her damp pant legs and gloomily looked at the television.
Ke Mingye was watching a movie called "The Time Traveler's Lover" which was about a protagonist with the ability to time-travel, often retreating through time to erase regrets.
In the end, when the protagonist's father was diagnosed with cancer, the protagonist shared his feelings with his father, and they decided to travel back in time together, to a moment in his childhood when his father took him to play by the sea.
A young and an old figure sat on the beach, skimming stones across the sea, saying their final farewells.
Ke Mingye took a sip of cola and said, "Oh, that's really tough luck."
Bai Zini removed her hairband, let her hair fall on her shoulders, and after a moment of silence said, "By the way, a friend of mine might visit in a couple of days, just don't scare her, brother."
Hehe, as if I could scare myself. In a couple of days, "Xiaohongmao's invasion of Bai Ke's home" will be a magnificent serialization, headlining a death-seeking act.
Despite thinking this, Ke Mingye said, "No, why do you think I'd scare her?"
"You?" Bai Zini gave him a disdainful glance, "I'll be thanking Buddha if you don't start meowing alone in your room."
Ke Mingye rolled his eyes, took a sip of cola without saying another word, and instead looked resentfully at Yuri, who was sleeping in a corner of the living room.
He thought to himself, it was perfect timing that Dad had come back. It was time for this damn cat to show its usefulness.
"Speaking of which, my friend is somewhat like you," Bai Zini suddenly said.
Ke Mingye was startled and thought to himself, it couldn't be that she's caught on, "Like me?"
"To be precise... she's a bit like how Big Brother used to be."
Ke Mingye asked in feigned calm, "Your friend is a guy?"
Ke Yinzhi's voice came from the kitchen; as he fried eggs in a pan, he said, "Xiao Ni, you're only in middle school. Don't just go getting a boyfriend, and if you do, you have to bring him to see me first."
Bai Zini shouted toward the kitchen, "She's a girl, okay? She's about my age. Big, big, big brother, can you please not eavesdrop on our conversation, and if you have to, can you not slander me?"
"All right, all right, my mistake," Ke Yinzhi laughed.
"He's like that," said Ke Xiaomo.
"She's a girl, and you'll find out in a few days," Bai Zini said, chin propped in her hands and huffing, "She's especially like how Big Brother was when he first came from the orphanage."
"I forgot about that. It's such an old story."
Ke Mingye brought his mouth close to the coke bottle's opening, speaking in a casual tone.
"I remember very clearly, back then you weren't so sharp-tongued, and she gave off the vibe of a female version of you."
Bai Zini paused for a moment, wondering if that was the reason she had been subconsciously looking after Xiaohongmao.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she stretched out her hand and punched Ke Mingye on the shoulder. Ke Mingye quickly extended his palm and accurately covered her fist, "Are you sick?"
Bai Zini, feeling the warmth coming from her fist, slightly raised her eyebrows—her punch had been very fast, ordinary people shouldn't have been able to react, but Ke Mingye had.
"Big bro, have your reflexes gotten quicker? I used to be able to catch you off guard every time."
"Please, you're my little sister, I know everything you're up to."
"No fun, I'm going to sleep," said Bai Zini.
Ke Yinzhi saw that Bai Zini was about to go upstairs and reminded her, "It's time for lunch, Miss Bai Zini."
"Call me when it's time to eat."
Despite saying that, Bai Zini slept soundly, and her figure was nowhere to be seen at the lunch table.
After lunch, mom came home. She said she had split up with dad halfway, as Ke Youqing had some matters to deal with at the company; thus, he let her come home first.
Ke Mingye lay on the sofa playing with his phone, thinking that every time mom returned, the atmosphere at home immediately changed; she truly was the strongest at home.
Whatever Black Judge, whatever Qing Ya, no matter how ostentatious they were outside, they were powerless at home, at best merely subjects of Bai Wenna's research.
Ke Mingye was actually wondering if all his little actions could really escape mom's eyes.
Could she know that he had become a player, or even more exaggeratedly, she was already using him as a model for a player?
Of course, this could not be verified, so he had to put it aside for now.
If every move had to consider one's mother, then everything he had done to keep secrets so far would seem like a joke. Who could guarantee what kind of advanced technology an alien might possess?
As dusk approached, dad also came home.
Thus, Ke Mingye's plan could officially begin. Holding that damned Black Cat Yuri, he sat on the sofa and used the "Animal Communication Skill."
"Hey hey hey, can you hear me?" he asked softly.
"What is it?" Yuri asked.
Ke Mingye whispered: "I need you to steal that man's superpower, but don't use it here; otherwise, I swear I'll neuter you."
"What's in it for me?"
"Cat food, and big sis said she would take you to the hospital for surgery, I will protect you from her."
"Okay."
Yuri replied and fixed those blue eyes on Ke Youqing, with a strange phenomenon gradually appearing in his gaze, as if a crow had fallen into his lake-like pupils, creating ripples.
At the same time, the introduction panel in front of Ke Mingye changed.
[Supernatural Creature Name: Yuri]
[Supernatural Ability: Copy a Superpower User's superpower.]
[Current superpower being copied and used by this species: Crow Descendant.]
"Good steal, stop looking at him, avert your gaze," Ke Mingye whispered.
Upon hearing this, Yuri, arrogantly turned its head away, retracting its gaze from Ke Youqing's side profile.
But it was at this moment, Ke Youqing suddenly turned his head, his deep eyes staring at the black cat in Ke Mingye's arms.
Ke Youqing removed the cigarette from his mouth and asked, "Where did this cat come from?"
