Stop asking, already! I can hardly hold back anymore!
Ice Emperor struggled to maintain her composure, squeezing out a smile once more, she gently shook her sister's arms, coquettishly saying, "I'm just joking. I just don't think it's good to sleep on the streets while pregnant..."
"You've got a point," Snow Emperor said with a smile, squinting her eyes, "Alright, let's go find him now!"
Ice Emperor nodded immediately.
She took her sister's hand and headed in a direction, the two stunningly beautiful girls walked, one disgruntled and the other clueless.
Sister is so easy to fool. They say pregnancy makes you brainless for three years; I hope that's true. At least I won't be affected by the breeding urge for these three years.
And it's estimated that Lin Yi won't be taken down in three years, leaving me with no choice but to trouble my sister…
Sister, you wouldn't want your little sister to suffer every day, would you?
...
"Why is the master waiting for Lin Yi with me?"
Wang Qiu'er looked at Gu Yuena beside her, puzzled.
The latter opened her little mouth awkwardly, uncertain how to explain. Darn it, it was a reward I won fair and square. Why can't I say it out loud?
It was indeed a bit embarrassing. If the Auspicious Beast were to know how much I'm looking forward to this reward, she would definitely think: "Tsk tsk, the mighty Silver Dragon King, longing for something only a young girl would desire. Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, tsk tsk..."
Gu Yuena's eyes were hollow.
No, this can't happen!
She broke into a sweat, and with an awkward laugh, she said to Wang Qiu'er, "You are an Auspicious Beast, and we all have a duty to protect you. With Soul City filled with powerhouses, it's very dangerous for you to be alone at night with your current strength."
What Gu Yuena never anticipated was that she herself was truly the one in danger tonight.
"I see. Thank you for your concern, master."
Wang Qiu'er expressed her gratitude with a smile, but internally she snarkily remarked: But I seem to remember you won the "boyfriend for a day" reward...
It seems like Gu Yuena is going to use her reward tonight. I'm so envious… and a bit jealous, too. Should I purposely drag out the time a little?
Wang Qiu'er was torn. She didn't want Lin Yi to fall into someone else's hands so easily, regardless of their status.
As long as it's a woman, it just won't do.
Both were completely unaware that another gaze was watching them from a different direction.
Zhu Zhuyun silently glanced at Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er. She knew that Lin Yi had to deal with these two women tonight, which meant she stood no chance of coming over to serve him.
It was a distressing thought.
Dai Ben peeked at Zhu Zhuyun and tentatively asked, "Will you be at the hotel tonight, or… coming over here?"
Zhu Zhuyun shot him a cold glance, "What does it matter to you?"
Dai Ben hurriedly shook his hands with a smile, "No, no, it doesn't matter. I was just asking."
Zhu Zhuyun lifted her fair chin haughtily, "The master is busy tonight, so I've been told to stay at the hotel."
"I see. Well then, I'll go arrange for your hot water immediately."
"Mmh."
Zhu Zhuyun cast a longing glance at Lin Yi, surrounded by people. She heaved a silent sigh and followed behind Dai Ben, leaving.
...
Somewhere in Soul City.
The Tiandou team had just returned to the hotel when Miss Ning raised her small hand to fan her slender neck, "It's so hot, I sweated a lot today. I need a bath! Uncle Jian, could you prepare some bath water for me?"
"Yes, Miss... Ah, no, Sect Master."
Chen Xin slapped himself on the mouth.
```
Miss Ning smiled faintly and said, "It's okay... It's just that I suddenly thought of Ning Rongrong. Sigh, I don't know how to face her later."
Gu Rong and Emperor Xueye exchanged a silent look, both shrugged as if to say "It's none of my business," and returned to their own rooms to sleep.
Chen Xin wanted to offer comfort, but didn't know what to say, so he could only go to prepare some hot water.
Miss Ning had just entered her room when she kicked off her shoes with a flick of her small leg, and her fair and delicate feet left footprints on the clean wooden floor.
As Chen Xin passed by carrying a bucket of water, he glanced at her feet, his cheeks slightly reddened. He poured buckets of hot water into the wooden tub, going back and forth a few times until the bath water was ready.
"Sect Master, if you need anything, just call for me. I'll be in the room next door at all times."
"Mm-hmm, my room door is just ajar," Miss Ning said as she swayed her feet while sitting on a chair.
Chen Xin immediately became serious, "You can't leave it ajar. It's best to lock it."
"It's fine, we're all family here," she said, hopping off the chair and pushing Chen Xin out the door. "Uncle Jian, please go out. I'm going to take a bath."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Chen Xin returned to his own room, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
Daily sword training was his mandatory task, and now he also had to integrate the reward he got from Lin Yi, so Chen Xin spent almost every night in meditation.
In a place he couldn't see, the text written by the Pen of Fortune suddenly shone brightly.
It was a passage that brought its owner bad luck, written by the Pen of Fortune itself.
Chen Xin, sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The clear sound of splashing water from the next room reached his ears.
"What's going on?"
Chen Xin frowned, not knowing what had happened, but felt that the sound of the splashing water had suddenly become much clearer, so clear that he could imagine the scene in the room next door.
His heart instantly felt a surge of restlessness. Chen Xin frowned and closed his eyes again, sitting up straight.
After ten minutes of persistence, he opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with immense confusion.
What exactly was going on?
Chen Xin got out of bed, walked over to the table, and downed a glass of cold water, but it didn't relieve him at all.
He sat at the table, breathing heavily, as heat spread out from his collar.
Suddenly, Chen Xin stood up, supporting his forehead as if he could no longer control his own body.
He walked towards the door, pushing open his own room's door, and arrived at the entrance of the next room.
Looking at the partially opened door, Chen Xin pushed it open and saw Miss Ning's slender and fair neck above the wooden tub, as well as her cute bun tied at the back of her head, and he walked firmly towards her.
"Ah!!"
A woman's shriek quickly echoed through the hallway, followed by a clear slap.
Chen Xin stood on the water-splashed floor, head bowed, eyes widened, awakened by Miss Ning's slap.
Just then, Gu Rong and Emperor Xueye rushed into the room one after the other, seeing the Sect Master in the tub, looking terrified and protecting her chest, they quickly turned their heads in embarrassment, "Wow, what... what's going on here?"
Miss Ning managed a smile and said, "It's... It's nothing. I saw a mouse, and Uncle Jian was helping me catch it..."
"Thought it was something serious."
Gu Rong muttered to himself and left the room with Emperor Xueye in a way that seemed to avoid suspicion, closing the door behind them.
"Thud!"
In the room now with only the two of them, Chen Xin knelt down with his hands on his knees, his eyes hollow, "I'm sorry, Sect Master, I just couldn't control myself..."
Miss Ning glared at him angrily and said coldly, "Get out."
