SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Xiao Li placed the lollipop directly on her bed and chuckled under her gaze: "Little girl, this is for eating, it will be very sweet, that's why it's called a lollipop."

"Remember to eat the candy in a little while, even though Old Dog Fang said you'll live a long time."

"But who can say for sure about this stuff?"

Jiang Shuwan's doubts deepened, but she still pressed on with her cool demeanor:

"I'll ask you again, why did you give me this lollipop for no reason?"

“…………”

Xiao Li's smile suddenly froze, as if something sharp had pierced the darkness deep within his memory.

Those dark days of my childhood came flooding back like a tide.

He took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing twice, before forcing out a bitter smile:

"I've heard people say that happy children get to eat candy, so if you eat candy, you'll be a happy child too."

"Also, me and that... little bald monk, hmm, the nickname you came up with is very nice."

As Xiao Li spoke, he gave her a thumbs up, as if deliberately emphasizing his affirmation of the nickname: "As long as you live on this island, Little Baldy and I will raise you as our little sister. This is a decision we both made."

His eyes, unusually free of their usual nonchalant air, held a hint of seriousness: "We'll do our best to give you everything you didn't have when you were a child."

"Of course, all of this is based on one premise: you have to keep living."

Jiang Shuwan seemed not to hear him, turning around and walking back to the bed to sit down, throwing out a sentence without looking up:

"Who wants to be your little sister? From now on, you'll call me 'Mom' whenever you see me, understand?"

"What the hell...!!"

Xiao Li's face instantly turned bright red, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

He still really wanted to strangle this sharp-tongued little brat.

After Xiao Li left.

Jiang Shuwan stared blankly at the brightly wrapped lollipop on the bed.

She rested her chin on her hand, her little brows furrowed, her mind racing: Could this tiny, round thing really be happiness?

Although she is young, she is not stupid at all!

She believed that the man named Xiao Lizi was lying to her because she was young!

How could happiness be something so light and fleeting?

But her gaze remained fixed on the lollipop, and a strange dryness even rose in her throat.

She was particularly curious about what this thing called a lollipop tasted like.

I struggled with this decision for a long time.

Finally, a soft "ripping" sound came from the bed, the sound of the packaging bag being torn open.

On the other two beds, Xiao Li and the little monk both secretly smiled.

They had no idea what this little girl had been through.

But they knew that as long as she stayed on the island...

The days to come will only be bloodier and more brutal than before.

In fact, they themselves don't know what happiness is.

Even this lollipop was something I overheard someone mentioning in casual conversation.

They were just so bored, bored with things they'd never had before.

But he wanted to give it to the little girl who had suddenly barged in.

On the bed, Jiang Shuwan held a lollipop that had been unwrapped.

First, it brought its nose close and sniffed gently for a long time, its little nose twitching, while it muttered softly:

"Will it be poisonous?"

She tilted her head, deep in thought, her little face full of confusion.

A few seconds later, her little fist clenched tightly.

So what if it's poisonous?

She just wanted to see what happiness tasted like to others!

The moment the lollipop enters your mouth.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, like stars suddenly shining in the dark night, and she even paused in her breathing.

She had a candy in her mouth, her voice muffled but filled with joy:

"Happiness...it's so sweet!"

……

The next day.

"Holy crap—!"

A thunderous curse shattered the tranquility of the room.

Xiao Li jumped up from the bed, his sleepy face instantly scrunched up, and a pungent, burnt smell filled his nostrils.

He looked up, his pupils widened suddenly, and his voice rose an octave:

"Holy crap! What happened to my underwear?!"

He roared furiously at the little monk's bed, "Little monk! Do you want to die?!"

"What a convenient example of the guilty party accusing the innocent first!"

The young monk's angry shouts erupted almost simultaneously.

A few seconds later, he was in front of Xiao Li, his eyes burning like two flames: "Xiao Li! You know this is the only robe this humble monk owns!"

"How dare you burn it!"

"Today, one of us must go to hell!"

"I'll burn your sister..."

Xiao Li was about to speak when a deep voice from outside the door interrupted him: "Do you two have a death wish?"

Fang Shi walked in with a dark face, his gaze sweeping across the room.

The next second, his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes instantly ignited with raging fury.

The aura of a seventh-level mid-stage cultivator exploded in the room like an invisible giant wave!

He pointed to his charred black trench coat and shouted, "Get over here! Who is it?!"

"Burn my black trench coat too!?"

The terrifying pressure made Xiao Li and the little monk stiffen, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats.

They were still ordinary people who had not yet awakened, and this force almost shattered their souls.

The two of them ran to Fang Shi in a panic, their heads hanging low, almost touching their chests, not daring to even breathe.

On the other bed, Jiang Shuwan's fingers, gripping the dagger, suddenly tightened, her knuckles turning white.

She felt the soul-shaking pressure, but a burning desire flashed in her eyes!

Once she becomes an Awakened One, she will definitely be stronger than this old dog!

"Who did this?!"

Fang Shi's gaze swept over Xiao Li and the little monk like a knife.

If these two weren't promising talents being groomed for future generations, he would have loved to slap them to death.

"It's me!"

A clear female voice suddenly rang out, and Jiang Shuwan, holding a short knife, slowly lifted the curtain and walked out.

Her small figure stood before the three large men without the slightest fear.

The three men stared at her with grim faces.

Fang Shi took a deep breath, trying to soften his voice: "Xiao Wan, tell Uncle Fang, what's the reason you did this?"

"Burning someone else's clothes will get you killed, you know that?"

Jiang Shuwan met his gaze, her eyes showing no fear: "I told you yesterday that I don't want to see this mess."

"I get angry when I see them, and when I'm angry I'm unhappy, and when I'm unhappy I get rid of them."

"Do you know how valuable that lollipop is on this island?"

Xiao Li pointed at her nose and scolded, "We treated you kindly like a sister, and you repay kindness with enmity! You're such an ingrate!"

The young monk, shirtless with his robe burned to a tattered state, angrily echoed, "What an ingrate!"

"That's my only monk's robe; it holds great significance for me!"
