Chapter 7: Slowly Growing Magic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yan Xin originally didn’t want to pay attention to her father, but she suddenly felt a layer of darkness covering her soul. It was as if the original Yan Xin’s soul hadn’t dissipated and was still in her body.

In an instant, Yan Xin’s heart ached for the Yan Xin who had dragged her from the magic continent to this world. Even though she had added a curse to her soul, Yan Xin could still feel the sorrow of the soul that had already dissipated. Such a thick and gloomy feeling only worsened her mood, and coupled with the frustration of refining the magic potion, Yan Xin’s temper exploded.

“I say, are the four of you done talking nonsense here?” Yan Xin decided not to remain silent. Even the simplest of animals could tell that Yan Zhen had complained to the Yan family, but Yan Xin did not intend to tell the truth because she knew that no matter what she said, she would be wrong in the eyes of this family.

“Yan Xin! How can you speak to your father, mother, and brother like this?!” Yan Zhen had forgotten to pretend to be weak and sad. She stood up and pointed at Yan Xin accusingly.

That day at the hotel, the two men that every girl in the world dreamed of had actually taken the initiative to speak up for Yan Xin. This made Yan Zhen, who was used to bullying Yan Xin from young, go crazy from jealousy. She had thought that Yan Xin was only worthy of being trampled under someone’s feet. Now that she had the support of the Yan family, Yan Zhen wanted to deal Yan Xin a blow no matter what.

On the side, Master Yan, Mother Yan, and Young Master Yan obviously did not expect this previously weak and easily bullied little girl to suddenly snap back today. She actually dared to say such words to her parents and older brother—and they were momentarily unable to react.

“Heh, parents and brother? A mother should be kind to her children, and her children will in turn be filial to her. Don’t tell me you people are so uncultured that you don’t even know the meaning of this phrase?” Yan Xin did not care how they would react to that, simply choosing to rebuke them.

“Kindness begets kindness. In this family, has anyone ever cared about me? In my memory, I can’t remember that ever being the case.” Yan Xin paused then smiled before continuing in a different tone.

“Furthermore, Madam Yan doesn’t seem to have any relation to me, right? After all these years of beating and scolding me, it’s not too much to say that she regards me as an enemy. And now she’s trying to put on the airs of a mother? Also, Young Master Yan, you’re good to your sister, but don’t tell me you don’t know how to differentiate right from wrong, too?”

She glared at Young Master Yan. “Why is it that the whole world knows what kind of person your sister really is, but you’re the only one that still thinks that your sister is an innocent and kind little girl? She is not young anymore, she should know what she can and can’t do, right? When you are protecting your sister, can you be a little more intelligent? Master Yan—if you’ll allow me, can I call you ‘Father’? After all, my mother loved you so much and wanted to give birth to your child. But if she saw how cold and indifferent you’ve been to me all these years, what would she think? Why would she fall in love with a man who only cares about his main family? Furthermore, if you really think that I am a disgrace to the Yan family, then why did you take me away from my mother? Why are you only now trying to discipline me after neglecting me all these years?”

Taking a deep breath, Yan Xin calmly looked at the four dumbfounded people. Without saying anything else, she turned around and went upstairs. She had even thought about where she would stay if the Yan family chased her out.

The four people in the living room watched Yan Xin’s retreating back as she went upstairs. They looked at each other in dismay. In the end, it was Master Yan who took the lead and left the place with a snort.

Yan Zhen sobbed as he nestled into Madam Yan’s embrace and said, “Mother, you’ve finally seen how this Yan Xin treats me!”

“Little Zhen, don’t cry. I will definitely help you!” After Madam Yan said that, she signaled to Young Master Yan with her eyes.

After Young Master Yan received the hint, he said, “Don’t worry, Little Sister, Mother. I will definitely not let this bastard defile our family!”

After going upstairs, Yan Xin no longer thought about these trashy people. Instead, she began to close her eyes and meditate, finally feeling a little bit of magic power in her body that was slowly growing..
