Chapter 003: Violent Rogue_2

Ke Mingye lifted his gaze toward Bai Qiuwu, who was his older sister.

Bai Qiuwu had delicate features, clear, cold eyes, and a clean aura. Her soft, lead-gray hair shone brightly, topped with a green hairband, and she was still wearing her blue and white school uniform.

She was about the same height as Ke Mingye, around 1.72 meters, though Ke Mingye was slightly taller.

[Name: Bai Qiuwu]

[Age: 17 years old]

[Gender: Female]

[Strength: A level (possessing top combat power far exceeding 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden identity: Divine Communicator · Wukong (holder of one of the twenty-seven Divine Pathways, the "Sun Wukong" pathway)]

[Promotion pathway deduced for this Divine Pathway: Immortal Stone → Spirit Monkey → Monkey King → Immortal → Horses' Fortune → Great Sage Equalling Heaven → Prisoner of the Five Elements Mountain → Golden-Hooped Monk → Fighting Buddha.]

[Currently, this Divine Communicator is at the "Horses' Fortune" stage of the "promotion pathway".]

As Ke Mingye was staring in a daze at the absurdly long Divine Pathway, Bai Qiuwu had already taken a seat at the dining table. She looked at him and asked, "When did Big Brother and Second Brother say they'd come back?"

"They both said soon, probably in the next couple of days."

Ke Mingye replied casually. His gaze then shifted to Ke Yongzhu, who had entered the kitchen, the youngest brother in the family.

Ke Yongzhu had a buzz cut and was wearing school uniform. He looked somewhat cute with his features, but he always had a stern face, like someone owed him money.

[Name: Ke Yongzhu]

[Age: 10 years old]

[Gender: Male]

[Strength: A+ level (possessing top combat power far exceeding 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden identity: Juvenile form of the disaster dragon kind.]

Looking at this family, what Ke Mingye was most curious about was his younger brother's identity. After all, a 10-year-old kid with A+ level combat power indicated that this so-called "disaster dragon kind" was undoubtedly dangerous without saying.

"I'm full."

"Me too, I'm full."

Bai Zini and Bai Ziling spoke in unison, rising from the dining table and walking out of the kitchen, both playing with their cellphones as they settled onto the living room sofa.

Ke Mingye couldn't even be bothered to talk, put down his chopsticks, rose from the dining table, and followed them to sit on the sofa.

Seeing both of them looking down at their cellphones, he took the initiative, stretching out his hand first to grab the remote control from the sofa armrest, and only after securing the upper hand did he ask, "What do you want to watch?"

"'Scream'." Bai Ziling suggested.

"No way, if you watch that I'm running away right now." Bai Zini said.

"What do you want to watch then?" Bai Ziling turned her head to look at her.

"Isn't 'Harry Potter' fine? You always have to think about your horror films." Bai Zini gave her a sidelong glance.

Hearing the movie title, Bai Ziling yawned, with strands of her pale white hair swaying subtly by her ears. "I'm sleepy," she murmured with a smack of her lips.

"You two make such a fuss, let's not watch anything, just listen to the news."

Ke Mingye leaned back against the sofa, pressing the remote and exiting the on-demand channel to enter the financial news channel as he spoke.

As a result, the three of them ended up hanging out on the sofa, listening to the news anchor's broadcast while playing with their cell phones.

Soon, Bai Qiuwu and Ke Yongzhu had also finished eating in the kitchen, each grabbed a bottle of drink from the fridge, and sat down on the living room sofa.

Arriving late, Ke Yongzhu could only sit on the armrest of the sofa, but he didn't mind, after all, that's the fate of being the youngest brother.

"You guys are listening to finance here?" Bai Qiuwu took a sip of orange juice, her lips curving into a smirk, teasingly saying, "Not bad, all future bosses."

"Can't I improve my financial IQ?" Ke Mingye retorted offhandedly.

"That's right, that's right."

Bai Zini agreed verbally, not even lifting her head, insisting on playing with her cellphone, not even listening to what the host was saying.

At that moment, 10-year-old Ke Yongzhu took a sip of Coke and said, "Anything is fine to watch, just stop listening to this finance stuff, a bunch of morons."

Ke Mingye sarcastically countered him, "Younger brother, how come you're so high-class? It's one thing to act like this outside, but at home, you'd get spanked by me."

Bai Qiuwu took a sip of orange juice and casually put an arm around Ke Yongzhu's shoulder, asserting, "I protect him at home, what's it to you? Got a problem with that?"

Her voice was melodious, yet carried a maturity beyond her years.

Ke Mingye rolled his eyes, thinking you're one with A level strength and the other with A+ level, who could be tougher than you guys? Fine, if you say so!

"No one in elementary school can beat me." Ke Yongzhu added.

Ke Mingye put away his phone and stated without expression, "Okay, little tyrant. Don't go eating elementary students' brains raw or they'll think you're all noble and virtuous."

"How can you talk as if our little brother isn't an elementary student himself?" Bai Qiuwu asked with a smile.

Ke Mingye nibbled on a melon seed, "He's calling us all morons, and you still treat him like an elementary student? Quality education starts at home, and then at school and society."

Still unrepentant, Ke Yongzhu said, "A bunch of high schoolers listening to financial news, aren't you guys morons? I'm just a grade schooler here, wasting my life with you."

"Watch your tone, I'm a middle school student, okay?" Bai Zini commented absently while playing on her phone.

"I'm also in middle school." Bai Ziling chimed in, not having heard what they were talking about.

"Middle schoolers don't listen to finance, I'm still in elementary, wasting my life here with you all," Ke Yongzhu said, as he tried to snatch the remote from Ke Mingye's hands.

Ke Mingye refused to give it up, "You're in such a hurry; we all have phones to play with, we're certainly not lacking TV to watch, nor do we feel like we're wasting our lives. The grade schooler is the one in a hurry, huh? Dare to have mom and dad buy you a phone too."

Ke Yongzhu was about to lose his temper, but Bai Qiuwu, with quick reflexes, grabbed the remote control from between them.
