Another day passed...
Xia Yu was watching TV in the living room when the phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello, I'm Xia Yu, I'm watching it right now."
"Please, how many times do I have to tell you to make you understand? Can't you be less stupid, like my sister Xia Mei?"
Just as Xia Yu was making his sharp remarks, Xia Mei happened to walk in and heard those words. Her face darkened instantly. She walked over to the sofa and tossed things about.
Xia Yu said to Xia Mei, "Stop pacing back and forth and don't annoy me."
Then he spoke back into the phone, "I didn't mean you. Let me go upstairs to get my notes first and then we'll keep talking." As he reached the entrance of the stairs, he looked back at Xia Mei and said, "Hey, Xia Mei, don't steal my potato chips. If you want to eat some, go buy them yourself, you hear me?"
Xia Mei didn't say a word. She glared at Xia Yu, feeling extremely angry. She picked up the bag of potato chips, looked at it for a second, and immediately dumped the chips straight into the trash can. Leaving the empty potato chip can on the table, she happily picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
When Xia Yu came back downstairs, he picked up the potato chip can and found it empty. He interrogated Xia Mei, "Where are my potato chips? Did you steal my potato chips? If you want to eat them, buy your own."
"Give me the remote control. Turn it back to the stock market channel. I need to take notes."
"Hand it over."
Seeing that Xia Mei still refused to hand it over, Xia Yu tried to snatch it away. When he still couldn't get it, he stared at the Dragon Seal on Xia Mei's neck, smiled maliciously, and instantly hatched a plan in his mind. "If you don't give it to me now, don't regret it."
Taking advantage of Xia Mei's distraction, he tore off the Dragon Seal. Right at that moment, Grandpa brought a police officer back home. Once Xia Mei transformed, she summoned Sadako, who crawled right out of the television. Scared out of his wits, the police officer aimed his gun at Xia Yu and screamed, "Ah... don't come over here!"
Just as Xiong Ge arrived home from driving and reached the front door, she heard someone screaming inside. She rushed in, and the moment she saw Sadako, she yelled toward Xia Mei, "Shrumotion — Slow Motion Spell Wulabaha!"
She hurried over, slapped the Dragon Seal back onto Xia Mei's neck, leaned over to Grandpa, and said, "Dad, hurry up and help out!"
Grandpa replied with a clueless look, "Huh? Help with what?"
"Rewind Deletion Spell," Xia Yu and Xia Mei said, pointing to their heads.
"Oh."
Grandpa walked toward the police officer and began, "Irisrui..." Before he could finish, a sudden gust of wind blew inside.
Grandpa smiled calmly. "A guest has arrived. Come on in and have a seat."
A figure wearing a black cloak and a white mask appeared. An ability blast attacked Xia Mei, Xiong Ge, and Grandpa. Grandpa tried to counterattack, but the blast was unexpectedly redirected toward Xia Yu. Meanwhile, the police officer walked over to the man in black, cast a smiling glance at the Xia Family members, and vanished into thin air.
Xiong Ge said, "They must be here to snatch the Dragon Sealing Card."
Xia Yu retorted, "What card? Don't tell me you owe a mountain of debts outside, Xiong Ge, and you're a card slave?"
"Were those people just now here to collect debts?"
Hearing the word "debts," Xiong Ge burst into an enlightened smile and crossed her arms. "Debts? Oh right, I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it."
"I haven't settled the debts the two of you owe me yet."
Hearing this, Xia Yu and Xia Mei immediately forced nervous laughs, trying to make their escape. They had only taken two steps when Xiong Ge raised her hand. "Freeze — Stasis Spell Wulabaha!"
Grandpa picked up the remote control and asked, "Xiong Ge, Xiong Ge, do you know which channel the cartoons are on?"
Xia Ling, who had been taking a nap, was woken up by the commotion. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw Xia Yu and Xia Mei frozen in place.
"Grandpa, Mom, you're back," Xia Ling said, running over to hug Xiong Ge's arm.
"That's right, I came back to see my good granddaughter," Grandpa replied.
"Why are Xia Yu and Xia Mei frozen like that?" Xia Ling asked.
"It's all because Xia Yu tore off Xia Mei's Dragon Seal! Did he think tearing off the Dragon Seal is a joke? Constantly tearing it off day in and day out!" Xiong Ge said angrily. Xia Mei shot a glance at Xia Ling, who looked at Xia Yu and Xia Mei with sympathy and waved her hands to indicate she couldn't help.
...
By evening, Xiong Ge came down the stairs with a backpack and announced, "Xia Yu, Xia Mei, Xia Ling, Mom's heading out to the southern region for a driving trip now."
"The three of you watch the house properly. Don't panic if anything happens. If there's trouble, call Grandpa; he'll activate the Tek Guard device."
Xia Ling watched the two frozen figures, hurriedly spoke up, "Mom, Brother Yu and Sis still haven't had their Stasis Spell undone."
Coming to her senses, Xiong Ge turned back, released their abilities, gave them a few final instructions, and left the house.
Having been frozen the entire afternoon, the two of them felt aching backs and sore waists as they collapsed limply onto the sofa.
