<h4>Chapter 571: Late Night</h4>


    K went up to try.


    The barbell had sunk into the dirt, so she couldn’t even nudge it, let alone lift it.


    Fanny went to try too. The barbell didn’t move a bit.


    Fali didn’t even try, because she knew the actual weight of the barbell.


    It wasn’t a few hundred kilograms like Chen Zhao said. It was ten times that weight.


    Even the three of them working together wouldn’t be able to move the barbell, let alone thin Fanny and K.


    K went up to squeeze Chen Zhao’s arm.


    “So hard.”


    Chen Zhao moved slightly. “What are you all in the backyard for?”


    “To look at the grapes.”


    “Then why are you all clustered over here?”


    The three left in a chatter.


    “Fali, Chen is so strong. Can you take it?”


    “I can’t,” Fali shot back. “How about you twoe help... Ah, you practice abstinence.”


    “You act like you’re really willing to share.”


    “These grapes grow so quickly.”


    Fanny kept turning around to look at Chen Zhao.


    The sky was darkening, so his figure wasn’t as clear as before.


    The two women kept talking to Fali, so Chen Zhao could only return to his room and sleep early.


    At night


    Fanny slipped out of the guest room. She’d already gotten the idea to get things clear tonight.


    But she didn’t know that the AI system was watching her every move.


    Today, it was the inferior demon Earth in charge of watching the surveince camera.


    What was the most painful thing for an inferior demon?


    Sitting there and watching others do things while he couldn’t do anything himself.


    That was the most painful.


    But there was nothing he could do. They had to listen to their master’s orders.


    “A, B, C,” Earth said. “The guest came out of the bedroom. Leave the living room immediately.


    “Metal, Wood, you two let the three-headed dog lord and nine-headed snake lord leave the vicinity of the house so they’re not exposed.


    “Other nearby inferior demons, be careful. Don’t get seen by the guest.”


    By now, Fanny had gotten downstairs, but there was nothing in the living room.


    She walked to the front yard. An ivory moon rested in the sky above the river, reflecting in the water.


    The view was beautiful.


    Fanny was already a bit dazed.


    It was the kind of scene that could only be Photoshopped or in a movie.


    It was so unreal and yet truly existing.


    Fanny looked away and went to the waterfall again.


    “Mr. Snake, are you here?”


    Unfortunately, the cave was empty.


    Fanny was disappointed, but she still believed what she’d seen.


    That night hadn’t been a dream. It had truly happened.


    Because the moment she drank the Purple Brew, she clearly remembered that night, even the little details.


    Next day—


    “K, Fanny, won’t you stay a few more days?”


    Fanny reacted a bit slowly and K tugged her.


    “No,” K said, smiling. “We won’t disturb you two anymore.”


    In the end, they were outsiders. They couldn’t actually live here and disrupt Chen Zhao and Fali’s life.


    “Okay. Come over when you’re free.”


    “We will.” K and Fanny drove away.


    Fanny opened the car window, enjoying the breeze.


    The air was cool and fresh on the suburban highway.


    But Fanny sat unhappily in the car.


    “Fanny, what’s wrong?” K turned to ask while driving.


    “Nothing.”


    Fanny still hadn’t moved on from that event.


    She wanted to thank the snake.


    She felt that the snake had once healed her palm and reduced her pain.


    But she couldn’t see the snake again.


    “Did you get upst night?”


    “Yes,” Fanny replied.


    “Did you see anything?” K asked.


    “No, nothing.”


    Fanny pouted and continued sadly, “It’s just like a regr house, but don’t say anything. I know what I’m doing.”


    “I didn’t n on saying anything,” K said. “Actually, when I smelled the wine yesterday, something shed past my eyes. I remember clearly what I sawst night, so I believe Chen and Fali are hiding something from us.”


    “You remembered something after smelling the wine too?”


    “Yeah...You too?”


    “Yes, I did too.” Fanny nodded.


    “So you really won’t be able to find anything. They must have precautions.”


    “But their precautions aren’tpletely wless,” Fanny said.


    “Oh? Did you discover something?”


    “Did you forget? Chen had picked up that barbell before.”


    “It’s indeed shocking to lift a few hundred kilograms, but just like he’d said, that isn’t even the world record.”


    “That’s not a few hundred kilograms,” Fanny said. “That’s more than 5,000 kilograms.”


    “What?” K eximed. “That’s impossible!”


    “It’s incredible, but it’s the truth. I looked at the barbell’s material. It’s standard alloy steel, the metal used by the Olympics. I’d studied molecr material in college. If I can’t even recognize this kind ofmon material, I would’vepletely wasted those studies.”


    “But that’s 5,000 kilograms! Five tons.”


    “It’s shocking, right?” Fanny looked at K. “So, if it’s only from strength, then Chen is definitely a superman.”


    “So...if he himself is a supernatural existence, then raising some supernatural pets seems to be logical, right?”


    “But we can’t prove our belief. We don’t have any direct evidence.”


    “We don’t need evidence,” K said. “Only the two of us need to know. Or do you want to publicize this? It doesn’t benefit us and we’d lose two friends.”


    “Okay...I just wanted to prove that I’m right.”


    “Anyway, we’ll have a chance in the future. We don’t need to get an answer now. When we’re close enough with them, they might tell us more secrets. There’s no rush.”


    Compared to the impatient Fanny, K was more mature.


    “Mirror Lake is such a nice ce. Sad that Chen won’t let us build another house here.”


    “They clearly don’t want outsiders to discover their secret.”


    “The wine is so sweet.”


    “F*ck, put the cap back on. Don’t let the smell escape. It’ll affect the taste and quality.”
