Chapter 6: Did not last five minutes ——2
Mo Qiang pumped her fist inwardly when she saw the rise in the favourability but then her happiness balloon was punctured by Little Jiao who crawled up her head and muttered, " Don't be happy with just this much, it's just one number up."
" Don't blow farts in my bubble of happiness," snapped Mo Qiang silently wishing she could squeeze the thing at the top of her head until it was dead. " Whose fault is that I am in this mess? Why is that I am getting punished like this? Shouldn't it be my boss?"
" Your boss is currently drowning in a marsh made of dead animal remains and trees that he ruined, if you want to exchange places with him, I can do that," remarked Little Jiao as she scratched her back with her hind paw. " I am sure that he will be happy since he does not like being chased and poked by spears of Nature fairies."
" Do you know? I really love nature," said Mo Qiang as she immediately back-peddled when she heard what kind of punishment her boss was receiving. " I will definitely give it my all to revive nature and the animal in this place!"
" Like you have any other choice," scoffed Little Jiao as she plopped back on Mo Qiang's head and then said with an eye roll, " Make sure you do a satisfactory job, I want the people here to understand that it is very important to have a balance rather than relying on technology alone. If you fail then I will make my colleagues chase you with thunder spears rather than just spears while they ride hogs."
" Aye Aye," Mo Qiang felt tears running down her cheeks, she worked hard under her boss and now that she was dead and revived again she needed to work hard another a squirrel.
" We are here," While Mo Qiang was talking with Little Jiao, the two of them arrived at the Mo house. Mo Qiang expected it to be run down since no house in this place was in good condition but she never expected the house she was going to live in would look like a standing cylinder that seemed to be covered in rust.
She saw Mo Xifeng press the button on the door but the front door only moved a little on its own before Mo Xifeng pressed her finger on the button again only for the door to make a screeching noise before it completely stopped moving.
Mo Qiang heard a sigh escape those beautiful lips of her sister as she raised her hand, hooked her fingers in the gap and then ——
Bang with a push of her fingers she opened the door that was stuck in place and said to no one in particular, " We are back."
Mo Qiang looked at Mo Xifeng who moved the thick door with a flick of her fingers and felt her mouth drop. Little Jiao, who could not see her master acting like a total nerd, dropped down and then closed her mouth as she said, "What's there to be shocked about? She is a mecha morph, of course, she is going to be super strong!"
" I just feel like if she used all her power while punching me, she could have killed me," stated Mo Qiang as she walked inside the house but as soon as she stepped inside, a man with slightly bluish-black hair rushed out, his eyes were a dark shade of purple martini. His arms were open as he plunged himself at Mo Qiang who darted out of his path worried that she will be tackled down on the ground because of the man who was rushing at her.
It was only when the feminine-looking man straightened up did Mo Qiang realise that the man was not anyone else but her father, a mer to be exact.
" Qin Qin, are you unhappy with Daddy?" The mer spoke with tears shimmering in his eyes as he looked at his daughter who refused to hug him even when she hugged him every time she came back home. " Don't worry, I have punished your mother, how dare she take advantage of my absence and send you away?"
This mer was called Wen Gui and he was the first husband of this body's mother, he was just like his name valuable and dear to his wife. Even more so than her daughter, Mo Qiang was certain that if not for the fact that Mo Qiang was Wen Gui's daughter, she would have been kicked out by her mother long ago.
"That's right," Mo Yan who heard her daughters returning got up from the chair on which she was sitting and then walked up to see her eldest daughter, she frowned when she saw the pitiful appearance of her daughter and then said, " Why do you look like that? And why are you making your father cry?"
Mo Qiang did not know how to react to this sudden situation where she had not only gained husbands, and a sister but also a pair of parents. She blinked her eyes and then said, " I——"
" Sister was out in the open without her mask, mother" Before Mo Qiang could say anything Mo Xifeng spoke up for her. She handed the medicine that she had brought with her to Wen Gui and then said, " I am afraid that we will have to keep a tight budget this week since the next dungeon will not open till the end of this week ."
Wen Gui almost felt his heart drop when he heard that his daughter was left in the street with no mask, he cupped her face with his hands and then looked at her carefully when he saw the bluish-purple veins poking out of his daughter's pale skin, his eyes started to spew fire as he rolled his sleeves and then turned to his wife.
" MO YAN!" He roared at the top of his lungs before lunging at his wife as he started scratching her face again. " Look at you what you did! My daughter is unrecognisable because of you!"
Mo Yan did not dare to say anything as she let her husband take his anger out on her.
" Wait, you don't have to…" Mo Qiang began speaking but she was stopped by Mo Xifeng who said, " Let them be, it is their daily routine."
She was not lying while their mother was strict with Mo Qiang, Wen Gui doted on his daughter to the heavens and back.
Thus, it was not a surprise that they fought every day.
Mo Qiang heard Mo Xifeng's words and then did as the latter said, she let them fight out and soon she heard the coaxing voice of her supposed-to-be mother which was followed by the coquettish voice of her supposed-to-be father.
That's it? That fight did not even go on for more than ten minutes!
