"Well, but we can't eat porridge now."

"Why don't you wipe your face first? Don't you think it's dirty?" Hearing Po Jinglei's words, Yan hope rolled her eyes, went to the table to get a few tissues and wiped her face properly, then sat back down on the stool by the bed.

'Straight man Lei, I've learned my lesson!'

Straight men are not to be trifled with.

That's about all the comments on the screen. After listening to Yan hope tell his story, the side quest was completed, and a new one was added.

The side quests have been refreshed.

[Help Yan hope complete his revenge.]

"Huh?" Upon seeing this side quest, a string of information flashed through Po Jinglei's mind, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Yan hope, I want to ask you a question..."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Yan hope was tidying up the porridge at the moment. They hadn't eaten much yet, but because Yan hope cried, they didn't get any left to eat... It's a real shame.

"You..." Even someone as outspoken as a thunderclap wouldn't know whether he should ask that question at this moment.

"Don't suddenly gasp for breath, just say what you want to say." Yan hope seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"This...do you hate your father and his wife's family?"

“Hate, I hate them so much, I want to kill them all… But what can I do? I can’t do it at all… I’m just a hybrid of an ordinary person and a Northern Plains person. Although I’m a little stronger than an ordinary human, it’s only a little. My father, his wife, and her family are now incredibly powerful. They’ve probably gone through several tribulations in the meantime, so their strength is probably even greater.” Yan Xi’s answer stunned Po Jinglei. He had thought she would try to hide it, but she revealed it without any attempt to conceal it.

"Wait, is it alright for you to say this so directly to an outsider like this?"

“It’s alright. Miss Bei Hui knows, and even my enemies know, but they won’t take it seriously at all. They’d even think it’s perfectly normal. They’d be surprised if I didn’t hate them.” Yan Xi clenched her fists in frustration. “I’m too weak… I have no way to deal with those people…”

"What should I do... I definitely can't recover my original strength to deal with them now, so how can I help them get revenge? There must be some way..." Po Jinglei frowned in frustration, but even so, he still couldn't figure out what to do.

Just as Po Jinglei was frowning in distress, the door to the room was pushed open, and a... well, never mind, I'm too lazy to describe her appearance, just think of her as a beautiful girl.

A beautiful young woman walked in from outside. Po Jinglei was puzzled as to who she was, but Yan hope quickly realized who she was and stood up hurriedly. "Young Miss... the patient has woken up..."

"Is that so? Also, just call me Bei Hui, you don't need to call me Miss." Bei Hui said gently to Yan hope.

Before Yan Xi could finish speaking, Bei Hui covered his lips.

"No—you can't—call Bei Hui!"

"North, Beihui..."

"Hey, that's more like it. Yanxi, I'm hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat."

"Okay! Okay!" Yan hope nodded vigorously and left the room quickly. The room fell silent, leaving only Po Jinglei on the bed and Bei Hui standing not far away.

"Why did you try to move her away? You're not even hungry."

"No, no, no, on the contrary, I am quite hungry, and you haven't eaten much either, since you can't finish your porridge. It's okay to prepare some new porridge for you, right?" Po Jinglei frowned unhappily as he looked at Bei Hui's expression of having everything under control.

When did you eavesdrop?

“When you wake up, I hope you won’t interfere with that child’s affairs. After all, you don’t have the power to do so, and you will only harm yourself and that child. They just need a reason to get rid of her from my hands.” Bei Hui didn’t hide anything and directly told Leng Yihan the truth.

Po Jinglei was silent for a long time, then he laughed, "Hehehe... Is that so? Well then, I won't get involved in this matter."

"That's good." Bei Hui breathed a sigh of relief. However, what Bei Hui didn't know was that the audience knew about Po Jing Lei's side quest, and they also knew that this was a ploy to fool Bei Hui, otherwise she would definitely have tried to stop Po Jing Lei.

'Brother Lei suddenly became smart, oh my god!!!'

With his off-the-charts intelligence, Lei is destined for the pinnacle of life.

Yes, how could I, Po Jing Lei, give up so easily? And how could I listen to others so readily?

"Small……"

"Um?"

"...Sister Bei Hui! Haha, the food is being prepared. May I ask what you are here for..." Yan hope scratched his head awkwardly. Although he seemed to have calmed down, the redness and swelling in his eyes had not subsided.

"Let's eat here. It'll save us the trouble of going so far. And... this gentleman?"

"thunder."

“Well, it just so happens that Mr. Lei hasn’t eaten much porridge either, so you can eat with him. And Yan Xi, you haven’t eaten anything today either, have you?” Bei Hui said, her expression turning serious.

"This... Sister Bei Hui..."

“Not eating is not an option. Anyway, our family doesn’t need your food. You’re going through puberty, so eat properly. If you’re not skipping meals for work, then you’ll be severely punished.” Bei Hui revealed a sinister and vicious smile, stretched out her hands, and made a gesture as if she were pinching something in the air.

"Yes, I understand!" Yan hope nodded hurriedly in fear, agreeing with Bei Hui. Without anyone else saying anything, Yan hope understood what Bei Hui's actions just now meant.

"Girls' friendship, huh? I'm so envious. Can they just grope each other's breasts like that?" Po Jinglei squinted at everything in front of him. Of course, he only thought this to himself, otherwise, if he said it out loud, he would definitely be considered a pervert!

"Oh, by the way, shall I just call you Lei?"

"Whatever, you saved me anyway, so you're my savior." Po Jinglei said, a subtle expression of gratitude showing on his face. It wasn't obvious, but it was enough for someone as clever as Bei Hui to notice.

It's obvious that this is all an act, and this behavior is more in line with his character: a wanderer who came to Beiyuan out of admiration, a rough man who is not good at expressing his feelings, so he always pretends to be very fierce. These are all the messages that Po Jinglei wants to convey to Bei Hui in secret, so that she will have the impression of him as a wanderer from another place, a person who is fierce on the outside but soft on the inside and very ordinary. This way, his subsequent actions will be easier.

"So, Lei, are you able to get out of bed and move around now?"

"Yes, as long as you don't do strenuous exercise."

"Huh? Your body recovers really well..." Bei Hui squinted at Po Jing Lei, "You can get out of bed and move around normally so quickly, even though you were almost killed by a monster..."

“A test…” Po Jinglei thought, “She wants to find out if I’m an ordinary human. If not, she’s very likely to treat me in another way to prevent me from helping Yan hope take revenge.”

"So what's the best explanation here...? Think quickly, I don't have that much time to hesitate..."

"Staying silent? But that might be seen as guilty. So I should speak up. What should I say? I have to find a way to get rid of the problem of recovering quickly. I didn't expect the system, which was supposed to help me recover, to bring me so much trouble..." Po Jinglei finished thinking about the above paragraph in just two or three seconds. He quickly said with 'gratitude,' "Is it because your medicine is so good? I am really grateful that you would use this medicine on a barbaric little person like me."

"Hmm... indeed, the medical expenses used to treat your injuries this time were quite expensive. If your physical condition were average, it would be about the same." Bei Hui found a reasonable explanation and nodded in satisfaction.

A few minutes later, the food was served, and it was all very delicious. Not to mention, there were two beautiful women sitting next to him. Po Jinglei had truly reached the pinnacle of his life, and the audience was incredibly envious.

"Waaaah, I'm so envious of Brother Lei! First, he gets girls throwing themselves at him and feeding him, then he gets to eat delicious food that looks and smells amazing, and he's surrounded by beautiful women..."

That really hurts, bro.

My heart is broken!!!

Goodbye, Lei Ge. You've deeply hurt me, and I'm extremely disappointed.

The comments on the screen were varied and numerous, but Po Jinglei couldn't see them. At this moment, he was immersed in the delicious food in front of him. He might be able to find similar dishes in real life, but they would never be the same, and they wouldn't even be half as good.

The aroma of these dishes was enough to make Po Jinglei's mouth water. After the host started the meal, he picked up his chopsticks and began devouring the food. Bei Hui seemed to be really hungry as well, and ate quite a bit, but definitely not as much as Po Jinglei. He ate so much not because he was hungry, but because it was so enjoyable to eat, and he was indulging his cravings in the game.

Before Bei Hui left, Po Jing Lei successfully obtained a rather useful piece of information: the time. It was already evening, and there were still two hours until midnight, which was also the best time for Po Jing Lei to travel.

But once again, he had to figure out Yan hope's attitude...

After escorting Bei Hui back to her room, Yan Xi returned to Po Jinglei's room. According to her, this was Bei Hui's instruction to take care of Po Jinglei tonight, which undoubtedly gave Po Jinglei an opportunity to ask Yan Xi what she thought.

"That...Yan hope?"

"Hmm? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"Aren't you going to sleep yet..." Po Jinglei asked back, but it seemed to cause some misunderstanding.

"Ugh! No, no, if I fall asleep before you, who knows what will happen! Besides, my job is always to serve and obey you from night to morning, so I'm not sleepy!" Yan hope said, taking a step back in fear.

"...Well, I want to ask you...how much do you hate your father and his wife, and...if you had the chance, would you choose to kill them?" After hearing Po Jinglei's words, Yan Xi paused for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.

"I have no idea……"

"Why?" Po Jinglei pressed, wanting to try and resolve this revenge directly with Yan Xi.

"I don't know... I want them all to die... to go to hell to atone for my mother's sins... no, I should atone for my mother's sins in heaven in hell, but my father is my only family in this world, and he is the one who gave me life. I don't want him to die... and if my father's wife dies, he will be sad..." Yan hope subconsciously hugged his legs, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"Are you caught in a dilemma..." Po Jinglei pursed his lips. "Yan Xi, you need to sort out your own feelings. Do you really want revenge? And who do you want revenge against?" As he spoke, Po Jinglei grabbed Yan hope's shoulders with both hands and looked at her seriously.

'Brother Lei's IQ is consistently high!!!'

"Go for it, Lei Ge! I believe you'll beat Tianhuo!"

"I..." Yan hope lowered his head, as if he was making a decision.

Should we forgive them and let go of this hatred, or should we seek revenge?

"Hey... Lei, do you have a way to help me get revenge?" Yan hope looked up at Po Jinglei, as if hoping that Po Jinglei would say no, that he was just asking.

“…Yes.” Po Jinglei said firmly, but everyone knew the truth. He stared straight at Yan hope. “Isn’t this a simple decision? If you want to forgive them, you can give up revenge. If you don’t want to, I’ll help you take revenge.”

"I...I..." Yan hope opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.

"..." Po Jinglei was not in a hurry. She kept her eyes fixed on Yan hope, putting pressure on her from all sides to force her to make a decision as soon as possible instead of hesitating.

"Please, please don't think about revenge. Maybe we can complete the side quest easily..." Po Jinglei prayed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Drip...drip drip..." Rain began to fall outside the house. As the rain grew louder, a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky with a loud bang. Yan hope shuddered and buried his head in Po Jing Lei's arms.

"Huh?" Po Jinglei's body stiffened, and he stared blankly at the girl. The girl's petite body trembled, and she dared not raise her head, so she kept burrowing into Po Jinglei's arms.

"Something's not right... this rain is unnatural!" Po Jinglei forced himself to come to his senses and suddenly looked out the window. "This is the far north, it shouldn't be raining here!" The system's previous introduction had clearly warned that this was the far north. Even though the heating in the room had been on the whole time, it could only barely maintain a normal temperature. The heating should...

Po Jinglei's gaze swept around the house, and he quickly spotted the heating remote control, which showed the temperature as 58°C...

The heating is set to 58°C, but it feels like room temperature now. That doesn't make sense. The rain should have turned into snow by now... how can it be a downpour...?

"Yan hope..." Po Jinglei called out Yan hope's name as gently as he could, but his rough voice didn't sound gentle at all.

"Um……"

"I need to go out for a bit."

"Huh? Why? The temperature outside is so low..."

"So I find it strange that it's raining and not snowing." Po Jinglei's words were also a question to Yan hope: was it because of the special terrain that it was raining but not snowing, or was there really a problem?

"Oh...yes, this kind of rainstorm usually comes once every few years, or even once every year or two. It's quite a spectacle here...At first, I was also curious why it wasn't snow, but then Miss Kita-e told me it was a spectacle in our town, so I didn't pay much attention. What's wrong...?"

“Something’s definitely strange. They come at a certain time every year. Could it be…” Po Jinglei’s IQ suddenly spiked. It seemed he had accidentally seen the script. “The people of Beiyuan undergo a Heavenly Tribulation every five years. Could it be today? Who is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation?” Po Jinglei stood up. “Yan Xi, do you want revenge?” Although he wasn’t sure, Po Jinglei estimated that the person undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation was most likely Yan hope’s enemy.

The reason why is that, as Yan hope mentioned before, they have gone through countless heavenly tribulations over the past few years. Yan Xi knows that heavenly tribulations will enhance the power of the Beiyuan people, but he doesn't know what they are. Based on what Yan Xi just said, the wonder in our 'town' is likely to be someone who is Yan Xi's enemy, or it could be a powerful figure from a branch of the Bei family, like Bei Hui, undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

"There's still too little information... I need to see it for myself." Po Jinglei thought to himself as he walked to the window.

"Wait? Are you going out...?"

"Yes."
