10x Rewards: Becoming Invincible With My Sign-in System-Chapter 281: Drunk Xiu

Once he settled things down between the troublemakers, Aegon took Xiu to a different table where she wouldn’t cause trouble for others. Drunk Xiu was getting out of hand, so he doubted he could control her.

"Why did you even drink this much?" he asked. "Surely not just to meet your brother."

"Two reasons." Xiu wiggled four fingers and said, her voice surprisingly steady. "First, I’m very happy to finally meet and talk with my brother. It’s a happy occasion and I wanted to drown myself in the best alcohol."

"Understandable. So what’s the second one?" he asked again.

"That damned panoti!" Xiu’s expression instantly changed, going from pure bliss to pure hatred. "I will knock his teeth out the next time we meet. How dare he tell me he has that just to not give it to me!"

"Hmm? He has something you want?" Aegon asked, really curious about it now.

"Of course. He has many things I want," Xiu nodded hurriedly. "He actually collects them and never sells them. All just to mock me."

"You can’t steal them?" he asked.

Xiu instantly pulled his ear, for which he pretended to be in pain. "Ouch! Ouch! What?"

"Did I teach you to become a thief?" Xiu asked, her voice taking an odd tone. "Become a better man. Stealing is a bad thing. Why would I do it?"

"I’m sorry," Aegon massaged his ear and said. "But you’re the one who taught me that."

"I did?" Xiu blinked in surprise, then smiled widely. "Then it’s all good. I’m a good person, so anything I do automatically becomes good. You’re right, I should steal those things from him."

Aegon was really amused to see her drunken side. He had never seen her intoxicated by alcohol before, so this was a first for him. A rare opportunity. Of course, he wasn’t going to miss enjoying every part of it.

"I will do it now!" Xiu declared, gaining confidence all of a sudden even though she couldn’t stand still. "Where is that damned panoti?"

"The panoti already left," Aegon informed her. "Apparently, he got scared of you and ran away."

"Really? Hahaha! So he finally saw how mighty I am! How great I am!" Xiu laughed loudly and fell back onto her seat. "He never respected me. Always giving me an attitude as if I was a kid and he was an adult teaching me. Damnation, it worked back then, but now it wouldn’t!"

She went on and on, complaining about one thing, then the next moment she would start laughing about random things. She even told him a few wild stories from her past, though Aegon doubted that all of them were true.

Drunk Xiu had a tendency to spout nonsense and be dramatic to no end.

Perhaps Liliana noticed her antics and came over. Seeing her, Xiu’s smile widened and she jumped into her arms.

"My doll is here. My big, pretty doll with white hair and red eyes. I personally made it all these years ago."

Aegon stifled a laugh as Xiu inspected every part of Liliana and gave him a lengthy explanation of how she made Liliana. Really, for a moment he even believed her nonsense.

All this time, Liliana’s expression didn’t change even slightly. She let Xiu do everything while watching her in amusement. Then she pulled her ear and said, "You’re forgetting something. You also gave me instructions to be your mother."

Xiu scratched her head, a silly expression forming on her face. "I did? Why would I do that? I’m such a responsible person."

"Who knows? But I am a doll who can only follow instructions," Liliana said as she began dragging Xiu away. "I will take you away now. You should sleep." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Whaaat! Why should I sleep so early?" Xiu cried out.

"Because good kids sleep early. Aren’t you ten years old?" Liliana said calmly. "So you should sleep early."

"I am?" Xiu questioned, then looked down at her body. "Woah! We’re the same age then. How can you be my mother?"

Aegon couldn’t suppress his laughter anymore and burst out laughing. Seeing that, Xiu turned toward him and said, "You! Who are you? Why are you laughing at me?"

"Xiu. Don’t say things you’ll regret when you sober up," Aegon said, as he could already imagine the chaos she would cause knowing she forgot him.

Chen Xiu forgetting her baby Aegon? That was impossible. A blasphemy. She wouldn’t believe it.

"Hmph! You’re a handsome man, but you have very bad manners," Xiu pouted. "Where is your mother? My mother will talk to her and teach her a lesson."

Liliana facepalmed while Aegon chuckled even more. He could see his friends from the corner of his eyes. They were also having the time of their lives, seeing this side of her for the first time.

"It’s a bit difficult to do that," Aegon answered. "You see, you’re my mother."

"Huh? Stop lying!" Xiu pointed her finger at him. "Do you consider me an idiot? Let me tell you, my name is Chen Xiu, the heir of the Chen Clan and the Princess of Doom."

"Do you even know what half of that means?" Liliana asked.

"Hmm. It must mean something, that’s why people call me that," Xiu blinked innocently before turning toward Aegon. "Anyways, I’m a kid myself, so how can I have a kid?"

"Oh, it’s a new technology," Aegon smiled. "I’m from the future."

"Woah! Really?" Xiu exclaimed. "Then tell me, did I become a great princess? Who did I marry?"

"Oh, a guy you used to call panoti," Aegon responded.

"You really are playing a dangerous game," Liliana sighed.

"Hmm. That name sounds awful. But I hope he’s handsome at least. My husband should be handsome, very gentlemanly, one who respects me even though I’m kind of weird. No, I’m really very weird," Xiu said.

Then she slumped down and looked up at Aegon. "Alright, one more thing. Can you tell me if my father and mother are proud of me?"

Aegon’s smile stiffened as his whole body froze at her question.

She looked down, her face falling as tears formed in her eyes. "I know Xiu is very troublesome for them. They don’t say it, but I know I’m a burden to them. They deserve a better daughter, so can you tell me if I became a good daughter?"

She put her hands on her cheeks and said softly, "Did they have another daughter? You see, Xiu is very bad, so they deserve another daughter. I also want a big sister and also a big brother."
