Chapter 71: Little An

Yi Yang sprang up cheering, his happy eyes narrowed into slits, his mouth split wide, revealing two sharp little canine teeth inside.

He lunged into Ye Xi'an's embrace, rubbing his soft hair against her neck, his fine sharp teeth occasionally brushing the skin on her neck, the icy unfamiliar sensation making her scalp tingle: "Wife, you're really good."

Ye Xi'an's cheeks flushed, she could hardly fend off Yi Yang's enthusiasm; the tingling sensation from her neck left her somewhat unable to control herself. Although she had been more intimate with Bao Jing before, back then she had taken medicine and her consciousness was barely there, but with Yi Yang she could clearly feel his male scorching body heat and firm muscles.

Yi Yang, don't move around.

As soon as Ye Xi'an spoke, Yi Yang immediately stopped his motion, lifting his head from her neck; his handsome face's moist eyes gazed innocently at Ye Xi'an: "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Ye Xi'an had originally wanted to say she felt a bit uncomfortable, after all her neck was truly sensitive—even a light touch felt like ants crawling on the back of her head—but upon seeing Yi Yang's expression that seemed to say, "If you dare say yes, I'll cry for you to see," it was as if speaking those words would be a grave sin.

"No, we just need to go buy groceries, then after buying we must hurry to find a hotel."

"All right." Hearing Ye Xi'an say that, Yi Yang reluctantly left her embrace, but his gaze remained glued to her; whenever he got the chance, he would hug her again.

Originally everyone had planned to go buy groceries together, then find a hotel to stay after shopping, but Lin Zhi Jing looked at the sun already completely set, worry showing in his eyes; given the current time, it would be dark in less than half an hour, and Ye Xi'an's fainting was an uncertain factor—no one knew when she might pass out.

Although seizing females rarely occurs within the San Huan, because the use of supernatural powers for fighting is explicitly prohibited there, if one truly wanted to seize, they'd have to prepare for physical combat, but no one is willing to take that risk.

But if Ye Xi'an were to faint, the temptation for single males would be enormous—who wouldn't want to take advantage of her weakness and bite hard to gain some benefit? Moreover, Ye Xi'an is so alluring; she's like a meat bone dancing before a pack of wild dogs. So Ye Xi'an had better hurry and find a safe place to stay.

He called out to Ye Xi'an and the others: "How about you go find a hotel first, and I'll handle buying the groceries."

Ye Xi'an was the first to object: "That wouldn't do—how could we let you spend money and exert effort? We should all go together." Besides, there was still some time until midnight, so the time should be sufficient.

Lin Zhi Jing knew Ye Xi'an was determined to draw a clear line with him, so he stepped back and said: "Who said I have to pay? I'll go buy the groceries, you give me money and hardship pay, and besides, you have to assign one of your old teammates to me to help carry the groceries."

Before Ye Xi'an could voice her refusal, Lin Zhi Jing continued explaining the pros and cons: "This is the best approach; otherwise, if you were to faint while buying groceries, it would only bring me trouble."

Ye Xi'an opened her mouth but couldn't say a word; the objections she wanted to raise were blocked by Lin Zhi Jing in her throat, leaving her no reason to refuse his proposal. Bao Jing beside her also thought Lin Zhi Jing made sense: "An'an, Lin Zhi Jing has a point; otherwise, let's first go find a hotel to stay, then I'll follow Lin Zhi Jing to buy groceries, how about that?"

What else could she say? Ye Xi'an felt a bit regretful; if she had known they'd ask whether she knew about her midnight fainting, she would have simply told them she only faints at midnight.

Ye Xi'an nodded helplessly: "That'll do."

"Then I'll find a hotel."

Lin Zhi Jing searched for hotels on his Light Brain, found the highest-rated and nearest one nearby; as long as he clicked "I want to go here" beneath the hotel, an arrow would appear under the Light Brain user's feet, pointing the way to the hotel.

Seeing such a high-tech design, Ye Xi'an's eyes showed envy; she slightly leaned toward Bao Jing, who noticed Ye Xi'an wanted to speak to him and immediately bent his torso, turning his ear, his long brows and eyes gazing affectionately at Ye Xi'an.

The soft black hair strands brushed Ye Xi'an's cheek as its owner bent over, a faint warm scent leaving her slightly dazed.

Bao Jing hasn't washed his hair in ages, yet there's no oily smell? How amazing.

"An'an?"

"Ah? Oh right!" Bao Jing's call brought Ye Xi'an back to her senses; she placed a hand by her mouth and whispered, "How much does a better Light Brain cost?"

Seeing Ye Xi'an didn't want Lin Zhi Jing to hear, he mimicked her, covering his mouth with his hand: "A better one costs 500,000, and there are even ones over a million, depending on what functions you need."

Ye Xi'an gave Lin Zhi Jing a look: "How much for one like his?"

Before Bao Jing could answer, Lin Zhi Jing ahead suddenly stopped, turned his head with a horrifying smile, and looked at Ye Xi'an: "My Light Brain is linked to the Zhu Shen Xing's third-level authorization; almost any function you can think of, it can do."

"If you wanted to buy it with money, it wouldn't be easy to obtain, but if you mark me, I can give it to you."

"With it, you can go online to play games; recently a new virtual cultivation game came out, said to be identical to the cultivation depicted in the Doomsday Blue Star."

Every word Lin Zhi Jing spoke was nakedly tempting, making the faces of Ye Xi'an's three husbands somewhat grim, but Lin Zhi Jing didn't care about them and kept talking about himself.

"When bored, you can even chat with virtual elves." Saying this, Lin Zhi Jing opened another interface on his Light Brain; a chubby little milk dragon with transparent wings flew out of the screen, its milky voice nuzzling affectionately against Lin Zhi Jing's face while continuously shouting "master."

"It's called Xiao An, it's my Light Brain pet." Lin Zhi Jing grinned as he introduced Xiao An to Ye Xi'an, but Bao Jing bluntly called him out, curling his lips in mockery, and in front of everyone gave Lin Zhi Jing, this scheming male, a glance: "Still Xiao An? Just started, huh?"

Lin Zhi Jing's face bore a numb smile; used to Bao Jing thwarting him, he waved his hand, sending Xiao An over to Ye Xi'an.

Looking at the chubby milk dragon before her, Ye Xi'an's small mouth opened slightly, her face full of pity; she instinctively reached out to touch the milk dragon, but grasped at air—her palm passed straight through its body.

The milk dragon also looked bewildered, seemingly not understanding why Ye Xi'an couldn't touch it, its egg‑round eyes blinking blankly.
