Lu Mingyu immediately escaped toward the kitchen after hearing Mue’s voice.
The movement came naturally to her, suggesting that while she hadn’t retreated like this in years, the instinct had never truly faded.
The moment she disappeared behind the kitchen door, she immediately felt the pressure around her body lessen by several levels.
Li Qing was not much better.
The great Madam Lu who could suppress countless business rivals without changing her expression was currently observing the battlefield from more than ten meters away.
Only Lu Shu remained seated beside Mue.
For a moment, the living room became strangely quiet.
Only Lu Shu remained seated beside Lu Xue—no, beside Mue.
The atmosphere around the couch felt strangely peaceful, yet Lu Shu somehow felt that it was more awkward then praising Li Qing’s bioweapons as delicious food.
Mue sat comfortably on the couch and looked at Lu Shu with a playful smile.
Lu Shu also smiled back politely, although his smile looked somewhat stiff.
Mue asked gently, “Little Shu’er, how are you?”
Lu Shu’s thoughts: This is definitely not a normal question.
During my second life, whenever somebody asked how I was doing, either a cursed spirit appeared shortly afterward or someone tried to assassinate me.
There is absolutely no way this question is innocent.
The problem is, how did she learned that i get extreme bad luck after hearing this question?
Could this curse even work in this life?
Could she be planning something?
Testing me?
Maybe this is psychological warfare.
Maybe she is probing my weaknesses.
Maybe—
Mue’s smile widened slightly.
“Little Shu’er, why are you thinking so much?
I only asked how you are.” she asked with an amused smile.
“I simply wanted to know how you are feeling after coming home.
Is there really a need to analyze the question as though you were investigating a criminal case?”
Lu Shu nearly coughed.
Li Qing’s thoughts: She already cornered him within ten seconds.
Poor child.
He looks like a rabbit sitting beside a tiger.
Lu Mingyu’s thoughts from the kitchen: Brother, sister believes in you.
Please survive.
Lu Shu immediately coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.
“No, no.
Nothing happened.
I’m doing very well.
Ever since returning home, I’ve felt great.”
Mue nodded slowly before leaning slightly forward.
“That is good to hear.” Her smile became somewhat more playful.
“By the way, I heard from Mother that you are autistic.
However, after watching for some time and listening to you speak so fluently, you do not seem autistic at all.
Instead, compared to you, Mingyu seems like a child whose brain never fully developed.”
Lu Mingyu who was eavesdropping bent the spatula in anger.
As Lu Mingyu listened in from the kitchen, Lu Mingyu unconsciously bent the spatula from sheer anger.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Fuck.
I forgot.
His mind immediately replayed everything that happened after arriving at the Lu Family.
During the last forty hours I discovered multiple cancers, broken bones, a tragic son-in-law, two Ji Bodas, eldest sister is a lesbian, a secret girlfriend of her, her cancer, then today find two new sisters, one who has four talented jobs but has low eq, and a sister with an additional personality.
Under such circumstances, even a professional actor would forget his role.
The fact that I remembered my own name should already be considered impressive.
At this point, remembering to act autistic was already a remarkable achievement.
Lu Shu immediately entered acting mode.
“Ah…
umm…” he stammered awkwardly.
“S-Sister, what are you talking about?
I am not sick.”
His performance was terrible.
Absolutely terrible.
Even Lu Shu himself knew it was terrible.
The living room became quiet.
Mue stared at him.
Lu Shu stared back.
Only one thought is running in his mind.
“Don’t think don’t think don’t think do-…..”
Li Qing covered her forehead.
Lu Mingyu almost laughed out loud inside the kitchen.
Mue suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
She laughed so hard that Lu Shu became even more nervous.
The laugh was neither elegant nor restrained.
It was the confident laugh of somebody who had already seen through everything.
Finally, she wiped away a nonexistent tear and looked at him.
“Little Shu’er, do I look like a fool to you?”
Lu Shu remained silent.
Mue continued proudly, “Your acting skills might fool people with low emotional intelligence or poor observation skills, but they certainly cannot fool me.
It might even fool Mingyu.
But it definitely cannot fool me.”
She pointed toward herself.
“In this family, I possess the highest IQ.”
Then she pointed at her head.
“I also possess the highest EQ.”
Then she crossed her arms confidently.
“Among all blood relatives, I alone stand at the peak of Intelligence, Brainpower, Intellect, Wit, Sharpness, Judgment, Thinking ability, Analytical ability, Mental capacity, Cleverness.”
” I alone am the honored one.” Mue said while sitting on the couch like it’s her thrown and spreading her arms forming T shape.
Lu Shu’s mouth slowly opened.
He wasn’t shocked because she exposed his act.
He was shocked because those words felt unbelievably familiar.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Holy shit.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: This confidence…
this arrogance…
this self-importance…
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Holy shit.
Is my sister secretly a vessel of Sukuna or something?
No, wait.
The arrogance belongs to Sukuna, but those ridiculous self-praising statements resemble Gojo Satoru.
Did Sukuna and Gojo somehow enter a blender after death and create a new lifeform?
Did that lifeform possess Sister Xue?
He carefully examined Mue.
The confidence.
The arrogance.
The absolute certainty that she was superior to everyone.
The more he looked, the stranger it felt.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Her behavior resembles Sukuna.
Her speech resembles Gojo Satoru.
Did those two somehow meet in the afterlife, merge together, and reincarnate inside Sister Xue?
After so many years did they find the perfect balance so they come out now?
Li Qing’s thoughts: I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about, but it sounds embarrassing.
What kind of comparison is that?
Lu Mingyu’s thoughts: Brother’s imagination is becoming more dangerous every hour.
Mue’s thoughts: I have no idea who those people are, but judging from his reaction they must be extremely annoying individuals.
For several seconds, all three women felt an indescribable sense of secondhand embarrassment.
Lu Shu became increasingly suspicious.
The more he looked at her, the stranger he felt.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: No.
This is impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
But after reincarnating twice, fighting the King of Curses, discovering three cancer patients within two days, and finding out my eldest sister secretly likes women, I have lost the right to call anything impossible.
His curiosity finally won.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Forget it.
There is only one way to confirm my suspicion.
Without warning, Lu Shu reached out and grabbed Lu Xue’s hand.
Mue blinked.
“Oh?”
Lu Shu immediately activated Idle Transfiguration and carefully observed her soul.
Within moments, his expression completely froze as he stared at what was hidden inside.
Lu Shu’s thoughts: Holy Sukuna…
are you fucking kidding me?
Lu Mue :???
Li Qing :???
Lu Mingyu :???
Chapter End.
