"Your sister?"
Ye Lingling said with some surprise upon hearing this, "It seems this is a Family inheritance of yours."
Following Taiwan novels is super convenient.
"If you can't see your toes when looking down, you are a peerless beauty of the mortal world."
Ye Lingling muttered another sentence, and suddenly a question popped up that made Zhu Zhuqing's brain freeze.
"Zhuqing, can you eat it yourself?"
"Wh-what!"
Zhu Zhuqing was completely stunned.
Wait, what?
Sister Lengleng, such a gentle, virtuous, kind, and sensible sister, how did you learn bad habits from the likes of Hu Liena and Spirit Kite Douluo?
"Zhuqing?"
Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Ye Lingling called out again.
Zhu Zhuqing replied bashfully in her heart, "I-I don't know either. Sister Lengleng, why are you asking this question?"
Ye Lingling replied softly:
"I was just curious. Both of us have quiet personalities, and it feels a bit awkward if we don't say anything at all.
"Zhuqing, since we can't sleep anyway, why don't you give it a try?"
Zhu Zhuqing:???
Zhu Zhuqing was truly speechless. She found that Ye Lingling was indeed similar to her—few words, but always capable of saying something shocking.
"L-let's just sleep!"
Zhu Zhuqing thought, "Actually, silence is the best way for us to get along. Silence is golden."
"Oh."
Ye Lingling replied and closed her eyes, but her mind was filled with fantasies of Zhu Zhuqing being self-sufficient.
It must be beautiful!
A short while later.
Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been able to fall asleep.
She noticed that Ye Lingling seemed to be secretly moving away from her and thought, "I didn't cooperate with Sister Lengleng. Could it be that Sister Lengleng is angry?"
Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing rolled over, wanting to say something to Ye Lingling.
To her surprise.
Under the faint, flickering light.
Zhu Zhuqing discovered that Ye Lingling was actually trying the very question she had just asked!
???
Their eyes met in an instant.
Spirit City.
Seeing that she had received two rewards, Xiao Wu said with a heart full of joy:
"Aunt Erlong, both of yesterday's rewards were actually mine. I'm almost about to catch up to Huo Wu."
Lying nearby, Liu Erlong heard this and said somewhat speechlessly:
"You silly little rabbit, you need to have a longer-term perspective. What does catching up to Huo Wu count for?"
"You should learn from your two good sisters, Zhuqing and Rongrong. Be happy once you've caught up to them!
,
Xiao Wu also said with a face full of helplessness, "I'm still more than thirty Spirit Power behind Zhuqing and the others. I... I'm not as charming as they are either."
Liu Erlong rolled over, reached out to rub Xiao Wu's head, and said:
"Silly girl."
"How can you be so lacking in confidence? You are the female lead of this world. We won't talk about brains, but you will definitely have beauty."
"Right!"
Xiao Wu was happy to hear Liu Erlong's praise, but on second thought, something felt wrong. What did she mean by "we won't talk about brains"???
Knock knock!
Just then, a knock came from outside, followed by Zhu Zhuyun's voice.
"Xiao Wu, are you asleep?"
"Not yet."
Xiao Wu replied and ran down in her pink nightgown to open the door for Zhu Zhuyun, asking:
"Sister Zhuyun, is there something you need since you're coming over so late?"
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Xiao Wu, her eyes showing some hesitation as she said:
"Can I talk with you?"
"I want to know more about Liam and Zhuqing."
"Sure."
As Xiao Wu spoke, she pulled Zhu Zhuyun inside.
"Sister Zhuyun, why don't you stay and sleep here with me tonight!"
"The three of us, including Aunt Erlong, will sleep together."
"Okay."
Zhu Zhuyun replied softly. By then, Xiao Wu had already gone to find Zhu Zhuqing's pajamas.
"Sister Zhuyun, I reckon our pajamas won't fit you. These are Zhuqing's pajamas. Put them on!"
"Th-thank you."
Zhu Zhuyun replied in a low voice. Just as she was about to change, she noticed Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong staring at her intently.
Zhu Zhuyun:???
She realized the gaze of these two was very strange!
*Cough.*
Liu Erlong said solemnly:
"Hurry up and change so we can sleep. We're all women, what does it matter if we look?"
Zhu Zhuyun still felt awkward and turned around to change her pajamas, much to the disappointment of Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong!
The two of them wanted to compare which of the Zhu sisters was superior.
On the other side.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling lay back-to-back on the bed, once again falling into a strange atmosphere. This strange atmosphere was accompanied by the sounds of Cultivate Martial Soul Fusion Skill from next door.
"Sister Lengleng, I didn't mean it just now."
Zhu Zhuqing whispered.
Ye Lingling's face flushed red with shame as she replied in a low voice:
"I-it's fine."
"But Zhuqing, you can't tell anyone!"
"Mhm."
Zhu Zhuqing said seriously, "Don't worry, Sister Lengleng. My lips are sealed. I, Zhu Zhuqing, will never tell an outsider about this."
Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, but then something felt off.
Not tell an outsider?
Fine, fine, fine!
I'm being heart-to-heart with you, and you're playing word games with me.
"No way!"
Ye Lingling suddenly turned around and said with a serious face, "For the sake of fairness and to ensure you keep the secret, you must do the same thing I did."
"Huh?"
Zhu Zhuqing was also dumbfounded.
How can you be like this? Just tell me, are you doing this on purpose?
But.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could refuse, Ye Lingling had already taken action. As the saying goes, "The best way to make someone keep a secret is to make them part of it."
Zhu Zhuqing resisted with all her might.
Next door.
Bibi Dong pleaded for mercy:
"Liam."
"That's enough, that's enough. They're fighting next door. Go comfort them quickly."
Liam was also confused.
"Something did happen. You wait here."
"I'll go give each of them a sedative shot to help them sleep well, then I'll come back to continue our Cultivate with you."
And so.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling hadn't expected their fooling around would actually attract Liam.
"Liam—"
Just as Zhu Zhuqing managed to shout one word, Ye Lingling immediately covered her mouth.
"Don't say it."
Liam asked curiously:
"Don't say what?"
"Lingling, are you hiding some secret from me?"
Ye Lingling shook her head frantically.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, nodded frantically. She had promised not to tell an outsider, but was her own man an outsider?
Obviously not.
Liam sneered:
"Well then, Lingling. Since you're hiding a secret from me and won't let Zhuqing tell me, I'm going to have to punish you."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing pinned Ye Lingling down and said:
"Punish her."
"She must be punished."
Spirit City.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuyun, and Liu Erlong sat together at the head of the bed.
Zhu Zhuyun said softly:
"You've all read the Diary and know about the situation between our Zhu Family and the Dai Family. Actually, I came to find Zhuqing this time because I wanted to ask her if there's any way to change this situation."
"I want to know Zhuqing's status in Liam's heart and whether Liam is willing to help the Zhu Family."
