Despite the shady feeling, Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel a little intrigued. After all, the girl lay defenseless before her, her consciousness wide open like a secret path to a hidden garden. How could it not stir curiosity?
After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Yu pressed the option for psychological suggestion.
‘Come on, I don’t know her background, and she’s a cute kid with mysterious abilities. What if she’s a witch interested in me? I’d better leave a little insurance…’
[Psychological Suggestion Options
Identity Acceptance: Success rate 100%, costs 5 mana
Common Sense Modification: Success rate 50%, costs 10 mana
Personality Change: Success rate 10%, costs 50 mana
Ability Activation: Success rate 1%, costs 100 mana
Current remaining mana: 13]
Ye Yu quickly glanced at the options and saw that the remaining mana matched the 13% battery shown on her phone. She guessed both indicated remaining energy.
If so, could charging replenish it? After all, it was called mana.
But she soon noticed that the battery icon showed the phone was charging, even though she hadn’t plugged it in. That ruled out any connection between battery and mana.
As she pondered, the mana increased to 14. It was regenerating on its own. The principle behind it would require more experimentation.
With little mana left and needing to use some on that man, she couldn’t waste it. She had to settle for the option with the highest success rate: identity acceptance.
‘I’ll choose an identity that won’t harm me. For example… a little sister.’
A sly glint flashed in Ye Yu’s eyes as she pressed the option.
[Please whisper the modification content into the hypnosis target’s ear, keeping your tone gentle.]
Ye Yu thought for a moment, then quietly leaned close to the sleeping black-haired girl’s ear. She spoke in a soft, whisper-like voice, her warm breath occasionally brushing against the girl’s pale earlobe.
“Now, you’re my little sister.”
Whether the sleeping Ye Qing heard her was unclear, but the moment the words entered her ear, her butterfly-wing-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her sleeping expression grew uneasy.
[Identity acceptance resisted by the hypnosis target. Not fully effective.]
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
‘Wasn’t it supposed to be 100% success? That’s unreliable… Hey, it still swallowed my mana even though it didn’t work!’ (She uses English-like exclamation, but we keep natural)
Seeing the mana drop back to 9, Ye Yu had no choice but to give up further attempts for now.
‘Let’s wake her up first.’
She pressed the Awaken button. Moments later, the sleeping girl suddenly tensed.
“Wait, how did I fall asleep? Little Yu… wait, no, bad girl, what did you do to me?”
The title made Ye Yu feel annoyed… and oddly nostalgic.
But that didn’t excuse her rudeness. She really needed to teach her a lesson.
Ye Yu reached out and gave Ye Qing a gentle flick on the forehead—just enough to startle without hurting.
Ye Qing stared blankly at Ye Yu, who was now crossing her arms with an annoyed expression.
“Want to try that again?”
Ye Qing blinked rapidly, then puffed out her cheeks.
‘That’s my line!’
Only then did Ye Qing notice the white phone in Ye Yu’s other hand. On the screen, a heart pattern kept expanding outward—the infamous hypnosis app known in illustration circles.
‘Is this thing behind it? No way it actually works!’
But as soon as Ye Qing opened her mouth, the words “little Yu” almost slipped out again. She quickly covered her mouth, staring resentfully at this bad girl.
‘All grown up and still immature, always finding new ways to torment your brother.’
However, when she met Ye Yu’s eyes, she didn’t see the usual shame or pleading. That dissonance instantly brought her back to reality.
‘Right, now I’m not her brother, and she doesn’t remember I’m her brother.’
But that didn’t stop Ye Qing from disciplining Ye Yu.
“Bad girl, you hypnotized me?!”
‘Don’t you know a brother is like a father? Once a brother, always a father!’
“You’re the one who barged into my house without warning! And you dare talk back? Who sent you? Was it that old geezer Ye Feng?”
Her usual disrespect toward their father—that was the bad girl Ye Qing knew. But beneath that cold exterior, there was a hint of something unknown…
‘Bad girl, but I don’t really mind her calling him that… because Ye Feng is indeed a detestable old geezer.’
At six years old, he went to buy ice cream (for himself) across the street and then went home alone, leaving me crying by the roadside asking to borrow a phone.
At eight, he took Mom on a trip to Yingwu Prefecture, leaving Yu (then seven) with me for half a month.
At fifteen, he suddenly decided to move back to Suizhou and insisted on taking Yu with him. After that, he didn’t even call—completely vanished.
That was right around the time of Gu Xuanyu’s incident. After being mildly purified by Silver Moon, Ye Qing shut herself off for three years. Only now could she slowly recall these things.
Looking around, the house was a mess—things scattered everywhere, footprints on the floor, completely neglected.
Ye Qing snorted lightly, turned back to Ye Yu, and after a moment’s thought, went along with it.
“Yes, I’m actually your long-lost sister.”
Due to the hypnosis, Ye Qing couldn’t control her mouth, so she decided to play along.
‘But why would Yu ask that? Shouldn’t Dad be with her?’
Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed. Thinking back, Dad should have at least called her, but he hadn’t even sent living expenses. That was completely unusual.
‘Unless he and Mom disappeared together.’
“Wait, forget about me for now. Interrogate that guy first.”
Seeing Ye Qing suddenly put on a serious face, Ye Yu paused, instinctively obeyed, and was shocked to find that the name ‘Zhai Ping’ in the hypnosis targets had turned gray.
She quickly went to the kitchen to check, only to see the man foaming at the mouth, his face cyanotic, lifeless.
His eagle-like eyes were still wide open, his dilated pupils staring fixedly out the window, reflecting the pitch-black night sky.
