In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

Chapter 123 Are you using my post to cover your eyes?

"No!" Gen Shinji almost shouted. He was truly stupid; his secret had been exposed in just a few words. "Who would be as mad as an army idiot! Ugh! I'll tell you later!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, alright?" Li Xiao apologized decisively. Since he hadn't committed any crime of aggression, there was still a way out.

The pickup truck rumbled to a stop at Kara's residence. Li Xiao opened the back compartment, Xiao Ke got out of the car, and Gen Shinji, carrying a knife case on his back, held Kara in his arms like a princess.

"You've got some strength!" Li Xiao thought to himself as he opened the door. Yuan Zhensi went in first, and Li Xiao backed the car in and pulled the roller shutter door shut.

The three went upstairs. Gen Shinji looked around the house. Although it was old, the ground floor must have been freshly painted.

"You and my cousin can sleep upstairs, I'll sleep on the floor." Li Xiao took out a sheet from the closet, but inadvertently his eyes were too close to the closet door, and the paint on it was instantly scorched.

"I need to take a shower. Do you have any clothes to change into?" Gen Shinji carefully placed the equipment on his back by the window, sat down, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Everyone was exhausted that day, but Xiong Xiaogui was still full of energy.

"Yes," Li Xiao said without turning around, rummaging through the closet before tossing out a onesie raccoon pajama set and heading straight downstairs.

Throughout the journey, he tried to avoid looking at people. Seeing too many swaying organs and skeletons was really unsettling. The sensory experience brought by his super vision was like a projector displaying everything in high definition.

Upon entering the living room, Li Xiao pushed aside his bedding and lay down, while the sound of running water could be clearly heard from upstairs.

It must be Genji taking a bath. Li Xiao slowly closed his eyes, but the burning sensation made his eyelids very uncomfortable.

Li Xiao sighed and stood up. Thanks to his super vision, he immediately spotted two round little things in the refrigerator compartment, the size of which was just right to cover his eyes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but walk towards the refrigerator.

The little swallow was casually placed on the can, and some of it was frozen. Li Xiao peeled it off and squeezed it. It felt quite soft. It was a natural eye mask, perfect for cooling down.

Li Xiao nimbly lay back down on his bedding, closed his eyes, and pressed the two slippery things against his eyelids.

The size was just right, and as it came into contact with my skin, a cool and gentle sensation washed over me.

Strange, why does it have a strange fragrance?

Li Xiao blinked, not taking it to heart.

I have to finish cleaning the upstairs bedroom tomorrow. It's so much more convenient with the Phantom Control Area. Every time I go out, my pockets are stuffed full, afraid that I haven't brought everything.

Li Xiao pondered, his thoughts gradually settling in, and he soon drifted into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Xiao, who was still fast asleep, suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps beside him.

"Don't eat the sour radish! Who told you to use my eye patch as an eye mask!" The two pieces of fabric on his eyelids were ripped off, and Li Xiao woke up instantly, staring blankly at the ceiling as he slowly came to his senses.

Kara rubbed it with disgust, thinking, "That wretched brat is always causing trouble."

Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?

Who knows Kara actually put that thing in the refrigerator? Besides, he'd never seen a woman's personal items before, so how could he be blamed?

No, my eyes don't feel hot anymore. Li Xiao blinked and the burning sensation was gone. He looked at Kara; it wasn't piercing to the bone anymore. It seemed he had returned to normal.

"Next time you bring someone home, can you at least tell me first!" Kara said sternly, sitting in her chair. "Do you know how it feels when I wake up this morning to find someone sleeping next to me? I was almost scared to death!"

"I'm sorry," Li Xiao said sincerely. Bringing people without prior notice was indeed wrong of him. "I have good news for you, I struck it rich last night!"

Kara was taken aback when she heard this, then rushed over quickly.

"How much did you earn?!"

"A total of 66 US dollars. Thanks to Genji, the woman you slept in the same bed with, she even saved you. But only 30 of that is mine."

Kara froze on the spot, her beautiful face instantly turning bright red. She swayed, and Li Xiao quickly steadied her to prevent her from falling. 66! Good heavens, she almost thought she was hallucinating. She worked herself to the bone for a month to earn just over 4000 US dollars, and most of that was just enough to pay off her student loans. And this kid earned so much in one night!

For a moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Then, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed Li Xiao's arm with a stern expression.

"Did you rob a bank?! Or did you do something illegal or criminal?!"

"No, I got it properly, I guarantee it's clean," Li Xiao denied decisively. He was joking that anything he got his hands on was clean, and he would say the same thing even if Jesus came.

"I can prove that all the money Li Xiao earned was legally obtained," Yuan Zhensi said as she slowly walked downstairs in her pajamas, her broken slippers making her look somewhat comical.

Kara was a little embarrassed, but her expression quickly returned to normal. When she woke up in the morning, she found herself wrapped around this woman in an octopus-like position, covered in bruises and abrasions on her exposed belly, shoulders, and arms.

She couldn't bear to wake up and yell at a woman who had been ravaged beyond recognition. Judging from the hoodie lying on the ground, this girl must be related to Li Xiao.

"Did you two get into a fight right next to me last night?" Kara remained unmoved, hands on her hips, nose in the air. "As part of your play, I absolutely need some emotional compensation."

Here it comes again! It tastes just like always.

Li Xiao was so angry she almost twisted her nose. What kind of woman is this, an incompetent cousin? Isn't this just a scene from everyday life?!

Genji's pretty face instantly turned bright red. What did she mean by "getting to do it right next to her"? Why did Li Xiao's cousin seem like a completely different person after waking up, speaking in a way that was hard to accept?

Li Xiao simply walked over to the bedding roll, pulled the backpack over, and without saying a word, asked, "How much do you need?"

"Didn't we agree on this last night, Yicheng?" Kara leaned closer, her eyes shining.

"You want so little?" Li Xiao was a little surprised. Shouldn't Kara have opened her mouth wide and cut it in half?

Li Xiao nodded. He rummaged through the banknotes, and after a moment took out a thick wad of cash and placed it on the table.

"This is for you."

The amount looked like it was more than $30,000. Kara hesitated for a moment, counted it, and then took out a small portion.

"The agreed-upon 30,000 is too much; I only paid for one car."

"You need to pay off your student loan early, otherwise you'll be stuck with it for life due to the compounding interest," Li Xiao reminded her gently. "None of your business! Mind your own business!" Kara flipped through the $30,000 in her hand, beaming like a weasel that had stolen a chick. What a crazy woman! She wouldn't even accept money offered out of kindness, wasting all her good intentions.

Li Xiao snorted angrily and ignored her.

"Shinji, this is for you," Li Xiao said, taking out some money and handing it to him. Shinji accepted it without hesitation, then turned to Kara and asked, "How much would it cost to rent a room at your place?"

"We don't have any rooms here," Li Xiao said, tapping the table in an unfriendly tone. "You have money now, you can rent an apartment anytime, there's no need for you to squeeze in with us."

Li Xiao didn't want another person in the house. The space was already small, and he and Kara were always going out to "save the world" at night, which was quite inconvenient.

All you do is sabotage!

Genji gritted his teeth. Since his cousin refused to accept money, wasn't it reasonable for her to rent the place and pay the rent? To be honest, she wouldn't even consider tens of thousands of US dollars, but since the siblings were stuck on this issue, she felt it was necessary to come up with a plan.

"Not much, not much. I'll charge you $700 a month including utilities and rent. My room is big enough; I can just put a partition in it to make sure it won't disturb your privacy." Kara smiled and started planning as she heard someone wanted to rent a room.

"Okay, here's the rent." Gen Shinji placed all the banknotes on the table. Kara hesitated for a moment, wondering if he was being too decisive. Should she just follow her heart and take them?

"You can stay here—well, for six years," Kara counted on her fingers. "I'll get everything set up for you today, and I guarantee you'll be comfortable."

Am I the clown?

Li Xiao felt his nose was red, as if he could see Bruce patting him on the shoulder, telling him to go back to Gotham.

Seeing that the two women had reached an agreement, Li Xiao didn't want to stay there any longer, so he decisively ran into the garage to move his things to the second floor.

There's still plenty of time; it's time to renovate my room.
