In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

"Did you forget to buy a bed?" Li Xiao scratched his head. "Mine needs to be replaced too."

"I already placed an order on Amazon," Kara said, chewing gum and blowing bubbles. "I also bought one for you."

"So kind?" Li Xiao scrutinized Kara's face. "It's not a buy-one-get-one-free promotional item, is it?"

"Shit, how did you guess?" Kara looked like she'd seen a ghost. "Did you secretly look at my browsing history?!"

"Can't you be a decent human being?" Li Xiao's face was ashen. "I paid for all the house repairs, and you're still being stingy."

He was wrong. This woman had absolutely no conscience; if she did, it was so black it was oozing pus.

Li Xiao felt that his good intentions had been completely wasted.

"Oh, look at this brat, doesn't he look like a silly groundhog?" Kara turned to Bruce and grinned. "You believe what I say? Go see for yourself!"

Bruce's usually serious expression twitched involuntarily. The siblings were like a pair of clowns, unable to stand a minute without bickering. For half an hour, they had been talking non-stop. However, this also allowed him to see another side of Li Xiao. It turned out that even a powerful superhuman could be completely restrained by his sister. It seemed that he also had a side just like a normal person.

No! When did I start having such a strong sense of paranoia? Bruce's eyes widened; he realized he was becoming increasingly delusional. He quickly suppressed the thoughts in his mind: Was his cousin named Karael? ...

After Kara finished speaking, she opened her phone and tossed it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao opened the shopping platform and ordered a wardrobe and various other clothes. The most eye-catching thing was that she even bought seven or eight mesh bras, which were practically the same as not wearing anything at all.

Scrolling to the bottom revealed that she had purchased two beds: a white walnut king-size bed for $1500.0 and a smaller oak single bed for $800. Li Xiao was somewhat surprised, not expecting her usually stingy cousin to be so generous this time.

"Don't overthink it. Once you go back to Dongda University, all of this will be mine," Kara snatched the phone back, revealing her pearly white teeth. "Anyway, it's all at home, so it won't affect anything."

Li Xiao found that Kara always managed to leave him speechless. If she weren't his cousin, he would have really wanted to beat her up.

Back in the garage, the three men started unloading the cargo from the truck bed. This is where the advantage of having a pickup truck really shines when you're out shopping. If Bruce's Brabus were used to haul goods, it would probably break down halfway there.

Bruce was panting heavily, his carefully styled hair lying limply on his forehead.

This job was much more tiring than he had imagined. Just carrying two or three bags had already made him sweat profusely. On the other hand, Li Xiao used both hands and grabbed four large bags with one hand each time. The two hundred or so pounds of stuff felt like nothing in his hands. This guy was not human. Bruce wiped the dirt off his forehead and continued to work hard.

Kara was standing on the cargo, just about to pick up a barrel of oil, when she felt a chill in her chest accompanied by a slight pain.

"Your wound has reopened; you should rest over there," Li Xiao kindly reminded him. "I can handle it myself."

Kakala looked down and saw a large, spreading bloodstain on his left, blooming like a plum blossom.

"Wait for me."

She ran back to her room in a flash, and when she came out, her chest was noticeably smaller, as if it had been tightened.

"The small cardiovascular system is necrotic and has no circulation," Li Xiao interjected, only to be met with a fierce glare.

"It's so rotten, I'll cut it off and use it as your 'happy cup,' are you satisfied now?"

Li Xiao's face instantly fell. Was this something a normal person would say? He's having an episode even during the day!

Soon all the items were moved, and the three of them changed their clothes and put on disposable raincoats and overshoes.

If he were to also be holding a few kitchen knives, he would definitely give off the vibe of a midnight murderer.

Thanks to the fact that the main structure of the bedroom is concrete, there is no need to buy new wood panels to install the walls. All you need to do is remove all the blackened wall paint, apply white paint, sand it, and then add a layer of wallpaper.

It's also a device that can make holographic calls; looks like I'll have to completely renovate my house.

"Cousin, you're in charge of soaking the wall plaster thoroughly with the roller brush," Li Xiao instructed. "Bruce, you're in charge of mixing the putty powder. Follow the instructions for the proportions, and mix it until it reaches a paste-like consistency that can be stretched into strings. Is everyone okay with that?"

Kara picked up the plastic rod and started assembling the rollers. Bruce nodded and went to the living room to mix them.

Kara quickly returned to the room with the bucket of water. After soaking the roller thoroughly, she propped it up with a plastic rod and began rolling it from top to bottom. The black, grayish water meandered down like a stream.

"Don't leave any blind spots, clean it all thoroughly." Li Xiao picked up the shovel with the handle attached and shoveled straight to the top, a long strip of mud swishing down.

Kara was smeared in the face by the wall that fell from the sky. She was about to get angry, but when she saw Li Xiao working quickly and with complete concentration, she had no choice but to give up.

With Li Xiao's lightning-fast shovel, the entire wall was scraped down to the cement base in just half an hour, and even the most difficult-to-treat ceiling was cleaned up.

"Alright, let's assemble the scaffolding and get ready to apply the plaster," Li Xiao said, shaking off the wall covering him.

"You're quite experienced," Kara said, sweeping up the mud on the ground.

"Just read the instructions." Li Xiao walked into the living room and saw Bruce Wayne frantically stirring the wooden bucket with a stick, mud splattering everywhere and staining his clothes and pants white.

Bruce was panting heavily, his shirt soaked with sweat that dripped into the bucket.

"I looked around but couldn't find the blender," Bruce said, stopping his movements and spitting out the mud from his mouth.

"I remember I definitely bought it," Kara laughed awkwardly. "Maybe I should go out and run another errand later?"

"Bruce is really stubborn," Li Xiao thought to himself, before taking the tools from Bruce's hands.

"I'll do it."

Bruce stumbled and almost fell, but Li Xiao caught him steadily. Bruce's face was pale and his body was slightly curled up.

Li Xiao activated his super hearing. The sounds inside his body were chaotic, but he quickly found the cause: his stomach wall was shrunken and constantly writhing, with the edges of the mucous membrane almost broken.

Judging from the commotion, it'll be at least two days before they eat. Li Xiao felt a bit helpless. Why are the people around him acting so strangely? He had just gone through a high-intensity dishwashing job yesterday, and today he's doing heavy work again.

It's already quite remarkable that she didn't faint at all, having not eaten a single meal.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's hungry, let's get him something to eat."

Li Xiao helped him to the sofa and pulled his sleeves up.

Li Xiao took the stick and rolled it up like a top. The putty powder inside, which was still in a solid-liquid state, quickly turned into a paste, but without splattering a single bit. After taking it out slightly, the shape was intact, and it showed a stringy state.

Bruce stared in disbelief as the barrel nearly flew off its feet; the difference between people was truly astounding.
