Chapter 45: The Two Brothers Who Competed for Her Favor
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi innocently retracted her head, blinked cutely and looked at Xiao Jing as she said, “Jing, I didn’t know your driving skills were so poor…”
Xiao Jing was angry. “Are you looking for a fight?!” How dare she say he couldn’t drive! This was an insult to him!
“Jing, I was wrong,” Tang Xi immediately apologized. “I shouldn’t have said your driving skills are poor. I shouldn’t distract you when you’re driving, and I shouldn’t put our lives at risk. I was wrong, I…”
“Okay, okay…” Xiao Jing had already figured out her trick long ago. To stop her from continuing to talk, he hurriedly interrupted her, “Just tell me, what you want me to do?”
Tang Xi chuckled and said fawningly, “Jing, I need a cell phone. Could you buy one for me?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t need a cell phone?” Xiao Jing started the engine to drive on. Despite his words, however, he was already looking for electronic shopping malls nearby.
Tang Xi pursed her lips. “I find it more convenient to have a cell phone. With it, you can contact me, and I can also contact you. Then Mom and Dad won’t worry about me.”
More importantly, if she didn’t have a cell phone, she couldn’t get on the Internet. If she couldn’t get on the internet, she wouldn’t be able to get the latest news of many things, and she had just heard that…
In any case, since she said she would take everything Xiao Jinning had away from her, she really meant it!
“By the way, I have a party later, and you can go with me.” Spotting an electronic shopping mall, Xiao Jing turned the car around, drove towards it as he said to Tang Xi, “It’ll be good for you to make some friends.”

Feeling nervous, Tang Xi asked, “Who will be there?”
Xiao Jing looked back at Tang Xi. Noticing Tang Xi’s strange nervousness, he became furious. “Sh*t! Qiao Liang will not be there! He’ll fly to City A tonight and look for the one he loves!”
Hearing this, Tang Xi’s eyes turned red and she couldn’t help muttering, “But he can never find her.”
When the plane had exploded, she clearly felt her body falling apart, and when the pain came to her, she knew she was dead and there wouldn’t be enough left of her to bury.
And it had been so long since the air crash. Her body might have been eaten by sharks. How could he find her?
Tang Xi suddenly felt heartache when she thought about this. However, she felt it would be fine, because Grandpa and that man would feel better if they didn’t see her body with their own eyes…
“Xiao Rourou, what are you thinking about?!” Xiao Jing parked his car in the underground parking lot only to find his sister was crying, probably for Qiao Liang. “I’m warning you to give up that thought in your mind as soon as possible! Understand?”
Realizing that she had become lost in her thoughts again, Tang Xi quickly wiped away her tears and retorted, “I just had a mosquito in my eye! Besides, I know it’s impossible for Prince Charming Qiao to fall in love with me, so my dear Jing, do not remind me of it again and again. Otherwise I will feel inferior!”
“Humph!” Xiao Jing sneered. “If you can feel inferior, I’ll eat my hat!”
Tang Xi’s heavy heart suddenly lightened. She opened the car door and got out, laughing out loud as she said, “Jing, you really know me well. How could a person as excellent as me feel inferior, right?”
Xiao Jing was completely speechless. “Rourou, can you keep a low profile?”

Xiao Rou nodded with a smile, then opened the door, took out a cap and mask from inside and put them on. She affectionately held Xiao Jing’s arm and said sweetly, “Brother, let’s buy a cell phone. Brother, you’re the best man in the world. I love you so much~”
Xiao Jing got goosebumps. He stared at his sister like he was staring at a monster. “Can you be normal?”
“I am your sister,” Tang Xi said with a chuckle, then continued, “so no one will pay attention to us if we go buy a cell phone. Brother, didn’t you say you wanted me to keep low-key?”
“I mean the normal low-profile. Can you just speak normally?”
Tang Xi shrugged and replied, “Yes, sir!”
The two frolicked all the way to the shopping mall. Xiao Jing doted on Tang Xi and she enjoyed the kinship greatly. She had never experienced it before, so she felt her current life was very special.
They went to a Motorola store. Tang Xi wanted to go in, but Xiao Jing thought girls today preferred iPhones and so asked her to go to an Apple store. However, Tang Xi refused. “I’d better use a civilian one since it’s my first cell phone.”
The corners of Xiao Jing’s eyes twitched. “My dear sister, are you sure a Motorola cell phone is ‘civilian’?”
“At least more civilian than iPhone.” She didn’t choose to get an iPhone because she didn’t like the IOS system.
Unable to persuade Tang Xi, Xiao Jing could only follow her into the Motorola store. He didn’t mind what brand to use. His cell phones were all gifted by Qiao Liang. He didn’t study the brands and just checked them on the internet but found no result, so he didn’t pay attention to it anymore. He was still using the cell phones.
After quite a while, Tang Xi finally chose a phone that was launched recently. It wasn’t very expensive and only cost less than 4,000 yuan. Tang Xi took it casually in her hand, tried it out and decided to have this one.
Xiao Jing paid the money and helped Tang Xi get a SIM card, while Tang Xi was leisurely sitting in the rest area, shaking her leg like a big boss. When Xiao Jing turned around and saw her act like this, he suddenly wondered whether he was a masochist. Why was it always like this—he was on the run like a coolie while she stayed aside leisurely like a boss?!
At that moment, Xiao Jing’s phone rang, and it was from Xiao Sa. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and picked it up. “What’s up?”
“Are you at the party?”
“Not yet. I’m buying a cell phone for Rourou. I’m going to take her to the party tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sa immediately got furious on the other side of the line. Xiao Jing was so satisfied. It was simply a pleasure to serve his sister like a slave.
Xiao Sa roared on the phone, “Sh*t, Xiao Jing, you are cheating! We tried to persuade Rourou to get a cell phone all these days, but she just didn’t want one. But now you’re buying one for her in an electronic shopping mall?!”
Xiao Jing, beaming with pride, decided not to tell him that Rourou had asked for a cell phone. “What? Jealous? Let me tell you, the first number Rourou saved on her phone is mine, and I even chose a phone number for her. Are you jealous? Do you envy me?”
Hearing their conversation, the shop assistant secretly looked at Rourou who was sitting there as if nothing was happening, and thought that this girl was really lucky to be deeply loved by her brothers.
While Xiao Jing was enjoying his victory, Xiao Sa suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Haha, I’ve got Rourou’s phone number, and she has added me as a friend on WeChat!”

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
