Chapter 435: Chapter 362 ’Family Rankings’_3

Could playing around have frightened her into fainting? It was just like throwing a box of cockroaches stuck with hundreds of them at her, not enough to pass out from...

However, ’Liss’ broke free from his embrace and turned around to quietly stare at him, "Is this amusing to you?"

"If I said it wasn’t amusing, that definitely would mean it is, but if I said it was amusing, then it’s not that amusing..."

’Liss’ furrowed her small brows, hands on her hips, and said, "Do you think disgusting me is fun?"

For some reason, Ash felt like ’Liss’ loomed larger, as if she’d become a reasonable, elder-sister figure from next door, while he had turned into a child who liked to play pranks, awkwardly smiling, "It’s not really that fun..."

"Don’t do this again in the future, but I won’t hate you for it." ’Liss’ looked at his frozen right hand, "Does it still hurt? Even though you’re covered in wounds, I still had you carry me..."

Ash was startled by ’Liss’, just as he was about to reach out, he withdrew his hand and turned his head to shout at Igula, "Igula, Liss’ spirit is disturbed from the disgust I caused, you need to come quick... Igula, what are you doing?"

Unlike them, who were quietly waiting for the Demon Extraction Surgery to end, the Swindler was now hiding under a blanket, not a bit of her showing through, obviously, it was taken from Banjee without asking.

Hanna also covered herself with a blanket, hiding at a distance; these two seemed out of place with the rest of the group.

"A child with a disturbed spirit just needs a good beating to solve everything—after all, the problem and the one who presents it will certainly be resolved," Igula’s voice came from inside the blanket, "All you need is to pull out your belt as the weapon of choice."

Filled with curiosity, Ash walked over, "What are you doing hiding in there, let me see—"

"See your dead man’s head!"

A fist stretched out from under the blanket, knocking Ash flat on his back; he truly hadn’t expected the Spirit Mage to have also trained in fistfighting, and he couldn’t dodge it!

Lying on the cold ground, Ash felt the pain in his arm and abdomen flare up again, so he patted himself with the ’Joyful Sword’ and sat up to see ’Liss’ beside him. Before he could say anything, ’Liss’ reached out and hugged his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder and snuggling into him, "Stop causing trouble, I might not always be so mischievous, but no matter which ’me’ it is, I still like you the same."

Being hugged by ’Liss’, Ash felt goosebumps all over his body and a strong sense of discord in his heart—this isn’t right, can we not have Qinna or Hanna speak with this mature elder-sister tone? Talking like this is going to make people doubt my usual way of teaching!

Forget Hanna and Banjee, now even Harvey is looking at me as if I’m some kind of pervert; I feel like my social rank in the Funeral Service Office is about to drop to the level of the untouchables!

I get it now, is this your method of revenge?

Liss, you’re so despicable!

Crack.

Suddenly, everyone’s Gospel Books popped open, with sparkling bookmarks inside. Everyone paused for a moment, then quickly realized something.

"We’ve only walked in the Abyss Channel for a few minutes, but in reality, over two hours have passed," Banjee said, "It’s past midnight now... it’s now May 20th!"

"The second ranking update right at midnight?"

"What kind of rankings will it be?"

"Did Hanna’s plan actually work?"

With various thoughts in their minds, everyone opened their bookmarks, and the title of the second ranking list came into view—

"The Family Rankings."
