The afternoon sunlight was a bit dazzling.
Yang Wenting stormed up to Yang Mian with a furious expression. Her finger was almost poking Yang Mian’s nose as she shouted angrily:
“Go back with me right now and apologize to your sister!”
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out, trying to grab Yang Mian’s wrist like a pair of iron tongs. But Yang Mian, as nimble as a deer, easily dodged her grasp.
Yang Mian stood straight, her eyes firm and unyielding as she met Yang Wenting’s gaze.
“I will not apologize to her,” she said decisively.
Yang Wenting’s rage instantly ignited like high-proof alcohol being poured onto fire.
Her body trembled violently, her chest rising and falling as she shouted:
“You unfilial daughter! Look at yourself—where is any of the dignity of a wealthy young lady? Bullying your sister at home is one thing, but you even pushed her down the stairs at school! Are you trying to anger me to death?!”
【Anger you to death? Don’t joke around. I don’t want anything to do with her life. Just thinking about it makes me sick. People who can’t tell right from wrong—just let the King of Hell deal with them. I don’t have time to take in this kind of ‘trash’ for her.】
Yang Mian let out a cold laugh.
“She keeps saying I pushed her down the stairs, but what actually happened? She had bad intentions. I just went along with her wishes.”
“Stop arguing with me! Come back and apologize to Yang Huan!” Yang Wenting snapped again, stepping forward and trying once more to grab her.
“I can’t do that,” Yang Mian replied, stepping back. Her tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Fine! If you refuse to apologize, then don’t come back to this family!” Yang Wenting’s face turned red with rage as she roared.
[…Before officially cutting ties with her, I still have to go back to that house. So annoying. When can I finally get rid of this troublesome mother-daughter relationship?]
“I will never apologize. But don’t worry—I will move out sooner or later,” Yang Mian said firmly.
Without another word, she turned and left without looking back.
【Too lazy to argue with someone blind and unreasonable. Even saying one more word to her makes me feel like my IQ is dropping.】
“Yang Mian, stop right there!” Yang Wenting shouted hoarsely behind her.
【You tell me to stop and I stop? Please. Ninety-nine kilos of my hundred kilos are rebellious bones. Why would I listen to you?】
“Yang Mian!” she shouted again, her voice breaking with both anger and helplessness.
【So noisy. Hearing my name from your mouth is really unpleasant.】
【I’ll curse you with a circle—shut up!】
Yang Mian silently traced a small circle in the air with her finger, as if casting a mysterious curse.
Something strange happened.
Yang Wenting opened her mouth—but no sound came out.
Her eyes widened in shock as she could only watch Yang Mian’s figure grow smaller and finally disappear from sight.
When Yang Mian returned to class, all eyes immediately turned to her.
Every student looked at her with admiration.
“Damn, she actually confronted the school board member’s mother head-on.”
“And she won effortlessly. She’s basically our idol!”
【Damn it, I’m starving.】 If not for Yang Wenting showing up, she would already have been happily eating.
“Yang Mian, here—this is the food I just got for you.”
Yu Bohan had already rushed to the cafeteria and packed a meal for her.
When he opened the lunch box, a rich aroma filled the air.
“Wow, so much meat,” Yang Mian exclaimed.
He had even thoughtfully prepared chopsticks and a spoon.
“Boss, please enjoy your meal,” Yu Bohan said respectfully, his earlier disdain from the morning completely gone.
“Thanks, I won’t hold back then.”
Without hesitation, Yang Mian picked up her chopsticks and started eating enthusiastically.
【So satisfying. Meat really tastes amazing.】
At that moment, the class group chat kept flashing with messages.
Mo Xingchen tagged Yu Bohan:[Nice move, already trying to curry favor with the boss.]
In their eyes, Yang Mian had already become a “big boss” level figure.
Yu Bohan replied:[She called us ‘short-lived ghosts,’ remember? Of course I have to curry favor. I don’t want to be a short-lived ghost.]
Lu Yuxing questioned:[Is she really that powerful? Saying the whole class is short-lived ghosts… isn’t that exaggerating? And how do you know she can change fate?]
Yu Bohan immediately replied:[Believe it or not, I believe her. Either she’s an alien or a super big shot. I’m sticking to her no matter what.]
Xi Simeng replied next:[+1, sticking to her]
Fang Lian also added:[+1]
Since the “heart voice” revelations earlier that day, Fang Lian had become completely impressed by Yang Mian.
At eighteen, they were full of curiosity and excitement, especially toward mysterious and unknown things. Yang Mian’s strange abilities had become like a magnet, pulling all of them in.
【So good… so tasty… this chicken leg is way better than anything I’ve had before. I wish I could eat chicken legs every day.】
As someone who cultivated mystic arts, Yang Mian usually didn’t need to eat much—her cultivation could sustain her. She could even refine pills that kept her full for long periods.
So it had been a long time since she last ate meat.
Seeing her devour the food, Yu Bohan felt a strange ache in his heart.
How long had she gone without proper food? This “alien boss” was kind of pitiful.
“Don’t eat too fast. If it’s not enough, I’ll get more,” he said.
Yang Mian looked up innocently.
“Can I really? Can I refill chicken legs?”
“Of course. Eat as much as you want. I’ll go get more right now.”
“Thank you. You’re really a good person.”
Lu Yuxing also said:
“From now on, whatever you want to eat, we’ll cover it. We’ll take turns treating you every day. You’ll never go hungry.”
The entire Class 13 chimed in together:
“Right! We’ll cover it!”
【The people in Class 13 are actually pretty nice… I’m kind of touched.】
【Since they’re willing to spend money treating me, I can’t let them become short-lived ghosts.】
【Since I ended up in this class, it’s fate. Fine… I’ll expend a bit of my cultivation and help them survive their tribulation.】
The entire Class 13 was deeply moved.
To them, Yang Mian was the real kind-hearted one. They had only spent a little money on meals, yet she was willing to use her cultivation to help them survive danger.
From this moment on, in their hearts—
She became their “Yang Deity.”
