After all the chaos with the silver bird, ti powers, and strange truths... Su Jiyai could only sigh.
She looked at the stubborn bird still clinging to Qin Feng and muttered, "Fine. Do what you want. Let’s just sleep already."
Qin Feng nodded. "Yeah... we all need rest."
Xi Ping didn’t say anything, but her face clearly scread: What even happened today?
Soon, the four of them reached a small cave by the hill. There were barely any good spots to sleep, just so flat stones, cold dirt, and mossy walls. Definitely not luxury living.
The bird didn’t care at all. He quickly hopped onto Qin Feng’s shoulder and snuggled into his neck with a soft yawn. "Night night, Dad..."
Qin Feng sighed but let the bird stay.
He laid down on one side. Su Jiyai, still in her disguise form as a teenage boy, lay next to him and snuggled a little closer, since it was cold.
Xi Ping sat on the other side, her eyes twitching.
From her view, it looked like: A teenage boy was cuddling with a grown man under the sa blanket. And the man’s "child" was a talking bird.
She slowly looked away. "I... I need therapy."
The night passed.
Next Morning
The trio woke up early and left the island. They had collected all the edible materials, herbs, and strange beast at they needed. There was just one thing left—to transfer the land ownership or at least get a house on the island under Xi Ping’s na.
Qin Feng could’ve just opened a portal and returned, but he stayed quiet. He had secretly copied Xi Ping’s teleportation ability but didn’t want her to know. So he just followed silently.
Soon, they reached the shore.
The water sparkled under the sun, and they walked with light steps, ready to return to the RV they had parked near the beach before exploring.
But when they arrived—
"What the..." Xi Ping blinked.
Their RV... was surrounded.
About twenty people were sleeping all around the RV. So were curled up against the tires. Others had blankets spread across the sand.
A few had even placed their shoes near the RV door like it was their ho!
Su Jiyai and Qin Feng stopped walking.
Xi Ping marched forward. "Hey! This RV belongs to ! Get off!"
The people stirred.
One man with ssy hair sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Eh? Is this your RV?"
"Yes," Xi Ping said firmly.
The sleepy man stood up. "Perfect! We want it. Hand over the keys."
"...Excuse ?" Xi Ping’s voice cracked.
Another woman yawned. "Co on, don’t be shy! You said you’d give it to us."
Qin Feng and Su Jiyai exchanged a look.
"Did I miss sothing?" Su Jiyai whispered.
"I feel like we just walked into a drama show," Qin Feng replied.
Xi Ping folded her arms. "I never said I’d give away my RV."
The ssy-haired man pointed dramatically. "Liar! You said it! You just forget!"
"Indeed, I saw it too! Maybe you have schizophrenia."
Soone pulled out a phone. "Let’s livestream this mont! The kind, generous girl who promised her RV to the holess!"
More people gathered. So started clapping and smiling fake tears.
"She’s so kind!"
"So pure-hearted!"
"True angel!"
Xi Ping: "WHAT?! I NEVER SAID THAT!"
The scamrs gasped. "She’s pretending now! I saw her mouth say it! I heard it! I SWEAR!"
One older man stepped forward, fake tears in his eyes. "My house burned down... my cat ran away... and then she... she promised hope!"
A teenage girl followed. "I lost my sister in a scam... please... the RV is all we have..."
Soone else scread, "My grandma lives in a tent! My baby has no pillow!"
And just like that, the livestream exploded.
Comnts flooded in:
"Just give it to them already!"
"You don’t need an RV anyway! You’re young!"
"Are you really going to say no to a crying child?!"
"She’s acting greedy now. What a disappointnt."
Xi Ping’s face turned red—not from sha, but from rage.
"I NEVER AGREED TO ANYTHING!" she shouted.
The scamrs all started sobbing even louder.
"She’s lying now... she’s changed..."
"We begged her for two days... she said yes!"
"Please don’t break our hearts!"
Su Jiyai and Qin Feng watched in pure horror.
Qin Feng muttered, "I’ve fought zombies, monsters, and ti beasts... but I’ve never seen this level of shalessness."
Su Jiyai nodded. "Forget villains. This is real evil."
anwhile, the little bird peeked out from inside the RV window and chirped, "Why are there so many slly people here?"
No one answered.
Because at this point... they all realized they weren’t dealing with holess folks.
They were dealing with a full-blown scam group.
A scam group that wanted to steal the RV using livestream pressure, fake sympathy, and a tsunami of lies.
Xi Ping was seriously about to cry. Her eyes were red, and her fists were clenched so tight her knuckles turned white.
She was this close to shouting again when suddenly—
A calm voice ca from behind the crowd.
"What’s going on here? Why are you all crowding around my RV?"
Everyone turned around.
It was Qin Feng, walking toward them slowly, his hands in his pockets, a totally cool and confident look on his face.
The 20 scamrs froze. They looked confused.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Yes, this RV belongs to . So how dare you say that Xi Ping owns it or that she promised to give it to you?"
Xi Ping blinked in surprise. Then her lips curled into a grin.
Wow. He’s using his brain for once. Proud of you, Qin Feng.
But Qin Feng, if he could hear her thoughts, would’ve said: That wasn’t my idea! It was Su Jiyai who whispered the plan to earlier! I’m just acting!
Qin Feng pointed at the RV behind him. "I left this RV here just two days ago. I co back and find random strangers claiming it as theirs? Who even are you people?"
The 20 so-called "holess" people looked around awkwardly.
Then one of them mumbled, "You’re lying! You were with Xi Ping the whole ti!"
"Yeah!" another one shouted. "You’re just trying to trick us!"
A third one added, "You even slept with her!" (He ant "camped," but it sounded really bad.)
Qin Feng stayed calm. "Excuse ?"
The scamrs started talking fast, mixing facts and lies to make it sound believable. So things almost made sense. It was actually kind of impressive.
But then—
Xi Ping stepped forward.
"I don’t know him," she said loudly, pointing at Qin Feng.
The scamrs went silent.
Xi Ping continued, "I’ve only t this guy like once or twice. I’m here on a mission. A business trip. That’s it."
The crowd started whispering. The livestream viewers were now very confused.
One scamr pointed at her, angry. "So you’re saying you’re not involved at all?"
Xi Ping shrugged. "Exactly."
"Then you’re a scamr!" one of them yelled. "You gave us false hope!"
"Yeah! You promised us this RV and now you’re pretending like it never happened!"
Xi Ping narrowed her eyes. "I never made any promise. Even if I did say sothing, I never talked about giving away an RV. Be serious. Who gives away an expensive RV to twenty people just like that?"
One of them shouted, "But we told you our stories! You felt bad for us!"
Xi Ping chuckled coldly. "Sure. But guess what? I’m not even the owner. So even if I did say sothing kind like ’you can have it’—it wouldn’t matter. It’s not mine. Go ask the real owner."
She pointed at Qin Feng.
Now the scamrs really froze.
They didn’t know what to say. Xi Ping’s logic made too much sense.
Even the livestream comnts were changing.
"Wait... that’s true. If she’s not the owner, why would she promise anything?"
"You can’t take a gift from soone who doesn’t own the thing in the first place."
"I think this is a scam after all..."
"She was just being nice, maybe, but they’re using it against her."
The 20 scamrs looked at each other, sweat forming on their brows.
Then...
One by one...
They turned to face Qin Feng.
They knelt down on the sand and began begging.
"Mister, you are kind and handso. Please have rcy on us and let us have the RV."
"Yes, mister, you might not know this, but my mother is fighting Gyaroadernaite disease currently. With this RV, she will have a place to live!"
"You are rich if you can have this custom-made RV. Just give it to us and make a new one for yourself."
"Mister, if you can give the RV to us, we will be forever indebted to you!"
The live stream comnts were mixed:
"Sigh... just how shaless people can be nowadays."
"Upstairs, aren’t you being too cold-hearted? My sibling has Gyaroadernaite disease too! It’s a very deadly disease. I think this man should give away the RV."
