The old woman turned to look at Fu Zhen and said bitterly, “You child! Why are you still making a move? He is a b*stard, are you also a b*stard with him? You are brothers! What can’t you say properly?”
“Brother! If he, Fu Zhen, still had any brotherhood in his heart, he wouldn’t have reached this stage!” Fu Kun was helped up by Fu Xing and sat on the side, still shouting!
Fu Zhen looked at him and smiled. “Don’t say that you and I are not brothers at all! Even if we are, in the same way, I will return the favor! I won’t say anything else. You went to Mingjiang Temple to beg that d*mn thing! You are trying to put me to death! You are unkind and unjust. Do you still want me to repay you with kindness? I, Fu Zhen, am not such a good person!”
“What?” Grandma Fu looked at Fu Zhen in surprise. “You mean, the God-Devouring Talisman from last time was made by your big brother?”
Si Mi held Fu Zhen’s hand and silently comforted Fu Zhen’s anger. She took a step forward and said to the old lady, “Grandma! That is not a God-Devouring Talisman at all! I have looked at it with Master Ran. It is a Yin Talisman that takes people’s fate for its own use! Its insidious nature is that it causes the cursed person to unknowingly be plagued with nightmares. Fate, luck, and even providence are all taken away! It’s a ghost talisman that kills people invisibly!”
Si Mi turned her head and glanced at Fu Kun and Yan Min. She then said, “Fortunately, Fu Zhen has always been healthy. The sudden abnormality that day immediately attracted our attention! If it were anyone else, they would have unknowingly been dragged to death by the Yin Talisman!”
The old lady never expected Fu Kun and Yan Min to have such vicious thoughts. She thought that it was just a small fight like before, and she thought that she could adjust the small conflict between them. She didn’t expect this!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this thing was sinister and vicious. And the person who thought of such a vicious thing was even more detestable!
Grandma Fu fell onto the chair, and her entire being seemed to lose its light in an instant. “Old man! What kind of sin has our family committed?!”
Tears welled up in the old lady’s eyes, and there was a sobbing tone in her voice. “I have let down our ancestors. The remaining direct descendants of the Fu family have never been on good terms with each other, and they are even hurting each other! Are they trying to destroy our Fu family?”

The old lady’s body trembled. After a few sobs, she sat on the chair and covered her face as she wept!
Si Mi looked at her and could not bear it. She walked over and slowly squatted down. She said softly to the old lady, “Grandma, you don’t have to be so upset over these things! The warmth on the surface is all fake, and one can’t pretend for long! Since you’ll fall out with regret sooner or later, what’s there to protect! What we care about is the harmony of the family! After all, people’s hearts are separated by their bellies, so who knows what’s going on in each other’s bellies?!”
Si Mi looked at Grandma Fu raising her head to look at her and smiled. The firmness and steadfastness in her eyes were so shocking. “You just need to uphold justice! Forget about the rest for now!”
Fu Xing stood on the side and stared blankly at the ground. He was still digesting what Si Mi had just said! Yan Min and Fu Kun’s underhanded methods had exceeded his expectations. They were still trying to hide it from him and the old lady. They were only here to accuse Fu Zhen of being heartless!
They had never judged others by themselves and thought about their own problems! It was really disgusting! Fu Xing did not know how to express his emotions at this moment. Should he stand up for his parents who were ‘bullied’ by others? Or should he pick up the last bit of his basic worldview and conscience?
The old lady looked at Si Mi with a bitter smile. She slowly pulled her up while she still had her body. “You are a good child! You are right. Grandma is old and her thoughts are too stubborn! Instead, she has trapped herself! You are a good child!” She repeatedly said that Si Mi was a good child. She agreed with what Si Mi said!
If a person could disregard even the most basic right and wrong, then what they cared about, other things, were meaningless. They were all superficial!
Yan Min was still crying at the side. She had not completely given up. “Since that’s the case, we have nothing to say. No one will look good in this situation! You can take back the shares, but we want you to compensate with twice the market price! Otherwise, don’t think that we’ll let this matter go just like that!” she said as she lowered her head quietly. She added, “You can’t just watch us starve to death like this!”
The old lady looked at her aggrieved and hateful look and was furious. “You guys have been using the Fu family’s shares and dividends for so many years, but you don’t have any savings?”

Yan Min had a mournful look on her face. She said to the old lady, “Grandma! Don’t you know? The family’s house was just bought a few years ago! We still owe the bank a lot of money! Fu Kun is outside, and there are a few horse farms and other things. That takes a lot of money!”
She turned her head to look at Fu Xing. “This kid Fu Xing only slowly earned money to support himself during this period of time! A few years ago, when he went abroad to attend university, he also spent a lot of money! Our family really doesn’t have any savings!”
The old lady looked at her and Fu Kun’s appearance and was furious. “B*stard! You’re incompetent, sinister, and cunning, yet you still have the face to complain to me here! In the past, I would have directly reprimanded you! You’re unreasonable and arrogant! Are you trying to anger me to death? Get lost!” Yan Min was scolded to the point of cowardice and hid to the side. She only dared to suppress her voice and cry! She took a few deep breaths!
“I don’t agree to double the market price!” She looked at Fu Kun and said with a sigh, “For the sake of the Fu character on your head, I’ll give it to you at the original price! In the future, you’re not allowed to use this matter to annoy people! Do you understand?”
When the old lady’s decision was made, Yan Min did not dare to make a sound. She only looked at Fu Kun with an aggrieved expression. The old lady looked at Fu Kun who was sitting silently at the side and said, “Fu Kun, you tell me! Do you have any objections?”
Grandma Fu’s tone did not allow him to have any objections. Fu Kun snorted coldly and turned his head away! Knowing that this meant that he had agreed, she looked at Fu Xing and asked, “What about you? Do you have any objections?”
Fu Xing took a deep breath and replied, “No!”
Grandma Fu looked at Yan Min for a long time. After taking a few deep breaths, she asked, “What about you?”
This was already a very good ending. In other words, it was a pretty good sum of money. She didn’t dare to have any objections and nodded lightly!
On the other hand, Fu Zhen looked at Grandma Fu and didn’t seem to agree with her suggestion. Si Mi knew that they weren’t worthy of the money, but with Grandma Fu around today, he had to give the old woman some face. Otherwise… there was no turning back from this matter. It wasn’t good to keep this stalemate going!
Si Mi reached out and held Fu Zhen’s hand. She looked at him and shook her head slightly, saying, “Take it as giving up money to avoid disaster!”
Fu Zhen looked at Si Mi’s face and his expression softened a little. After a long while, he said, “I understand what Grandma means! Come over tomorrow and sign the contract to get the money!”
There was something deep in his eyes that flashed very quickly. Almost no one noticed it. Si Mi was the only one who was closer to him and felt the change in his mood!
When the old lady heard Fu Zhen’s agreement, she let out a stifled breath. “Since we’ve agreed, let’s Go! I’m tired too.”
After Fu Xing helped Fu Kun and brought Yan Min out, Si Mi pulled Fu Zhen to sit down. “Let me see your hand!”
Fu Zhen looked at her. He thought that no one would notice the pain that he had hidden so well. Just as his right hand moved violently, it twisted and hit Fu Xing’s body. In that instant just now… He almost fell to the ground from the pain! Fortunately, he was used to the pain, so he endured it! But he didn’t expect Si Mi to notice it!
His heart instantly softened, and his eyes were filled with a smile. “I’m fine.”
Si Mi glared at him. “Cut the crap! Don’t you know that you’re an injured patient? I was scared to death when I saw you rush out!”
Grandma Fu was shocked when she saw Si Mi pull him to sit down. She thought that something had happened to Fu Zhen again! When she saw the couple talking as if no one was around, she let out a slight sigh of relief!
Especially when Si Mi actually scolded Fu Zhen directly, she was a little surprised! Then, she slowly felt relieved. No matter how ruthless and decisive Fu Zhen was, his heart would soften when facing the most important person!
This was good too! One thing begets another! Si Mi’s kindness and naivety met Fu Zhen’s steadiness and stubbornness. Occasionally, he would be a little too stubborn and paranoid. These two people could be considered complementary!
When everyone formed their unique character, they would more or less have some shortcomings. When the heavens bestowed a lover who could love and accompany them for a lifetime… They would also choose complementary aspects, so that love will last!

Needletongue, Carrotcake
The world isn't fair. If anything, the inherent injustice of the world is what separates it from the fiction we so adore. Luis Freighthold knew this all too well, and that was why it took a bit longer than it should have to realise when he suddenly had everything he could ever have wanted. Raised in a working-class single-father home, Luis had no other escape than fiction. Specifically, vampire stories of varying quality and genre. There was something appealing about the ability to fly, turn into shadows and become smoke. Danger. An unfamiliarity with the social world that rejected him so. Was it so wrong for him to hope for a different life? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, now he had it—a lust for blood and abilities beyond the understanding of civil man. Could you really say that he had anything left to complain about? A vampire story following an unconventional vampire boy forced to accept that maybe becoming a vampire doesn't magically solve all your problems. As a matter of fact, it might just make a whole bunch of them even worse. Regardless, Luis is prepared to try everything to live up to the vampire books he had previously gorged on. What did it matter that his vampire form had no teeth, replaced instead by a long, needle-tipped tongue? He was still a vampire, wasn't he? Chapters are around 10 A4 pages long, releasing once a week on Mondays, 01:00 CET.
