USWHC -Chapter 349 Messing with Your Sister, Want to Die? (Part 9)

As soon as Zhu Laotai saw it, she panicked. “No, don’t!” She almost lunged at her own bowl.

She had tried everything to guard against this, but she didn’t expect someone to play it so openly! If the drink poured in, wouldn’t she get dizzy too?

“Better for you to drink it! This is your mother’s heartfelt gift!” Zhu Laotai pleaded almost desperately. “Don’t you love your mother? You don’t want to eat what I made?”

Well, she knew how to provoke. Seeing her pitiful, anxious expression, Zhu Jie immediately showed a look of being touched. “Of course not! Mom’s cooking is the best!”

“Then eat it quickly if it’s good!” Zhu Laotai was so impatient she practically shouted, lunging forward as if to force it down.

She grabbed Zhu Jie’s hand, holding up the bowl with a sinister grin. “Drink it! Drink it!” She pushed it toward her without any regard.

It looked like Zhu Jie was about to be forced to drink it, yet she hadn’t reacted. Ji Yi saw this and genuinely got anxious.

Then—puff—a muffled sound filled the room, and suddenly it went dark. Zhu Laotai couldn’t see a thing. What happened? Did the candle go out?

Even so, she kept pushing forward, intent on forcing the bowl into Zhu Jie’s nose.

Zhu Jie, too, was momentarily stunned. Why had the candle gone out? But in the next instant, she immediately realized—it must have been Ji Yi, trying to help by extinguishing it!

Then Zhu Laotai felt a cold gust of wind from behind. What? Was someone behind her?

She didn’t have time to turn—yes, there was someone. Ji Yi leapt down, using his hands like blades, aiming at Zhu Laotai’s neck, intending to knock her out in one move. Brutal, straightforward, and lacking subtlety, but effective.

Just as his hand was about to strike, a low call interrupted: “Mom, the soup might spill—better put it on the table first!” Zhu Jie quickly grabbed Zhu Laotai’s hand and guided it onto the table.

Zhu Laotai stumbled forward, nearly crashing into the table, but because of that, Ji Yi’s strike missed entirely.

Ji Yi froze in surprise. What was going on? Anger flared in his heart, and he struck harder, switching from a slice to a smash, aiming for the back of Zhu Laotai’s head. He was taking out all his frustration on the unlucky woman!

But in the next moment, Zhu Jie shouted again, “Mom, are you okay? Get up quickly!” She spun around, pulling Zhu Laotai in a circle.

Zhu Laotai felt a chill across her scalp as Ji Yi’s hand missed. Smack! A huge hole appeared in the table.

“What’s happening? What’s happening?” Zhu Laotai cried, still in shock. She couldn’t see, only feeling dizzy as Zhu Jie spun her around.

Ji Yi, watching all this, grew annoyed. She wasn’t your mother—why protect her?

Indeed, it was rare for a victim to protect the villain, but Zhu Jie actually did it.

Ji Yi, now truly provoked, suddenly drew a gleaming knife—he was ready to kill!

“Mom, you didn’t hurt your back, did you?” Zhu Jie asked with exaggerated concern.

Zhu Laotai felt Zhu Jie’s hands twisting around her waist. Luckily, her back wasn’t hurt… but after all that twisting, could she really avoid pain? Zhu Laotai howled in agony. “Stop! Stop! My old back!”

But Zhu Jie didn’t stop; her movements quickened. Why? Because Ji Yi’s attacks were getting faster too! Swipe, swipe, swipe! His knife stabbed left and right, aiming at her lower back, while Zhu Jie twisted her body left and right, narrowly avoiding every strike.

Ji Yi saw this and thought: This is ridiculous. The relationships here are completely messed up!

Gritting his teeth, Ji Yi switched from stabbing to chopping, aiming for Zhu Laotai’s head. He refused to believe Zhu Jie could slam someone to the ground.
