Chapter 139: Wouldn't You Be Stealing from Yourself, Right

"Father!!!"

Didn't we agree that you would save me from this predicament!?

Aren't you harming me by doing this?

【Rest easy~ Rest easy~】

【Young people, you are just too impatient.】

Ren Yidao controlled Li Lingling's body, and in her terrified field of vision, she transitioned from a pose of praising the sun and fluidly performed a set of military boxing in the room.

Finally, she held the fist steadily in front of Ren Yidao, and He laughed:

【See, he cannot wake up!】

Sure enough, although the Senior Brother lying on the bed had been twitching his brows, he showed no sign of waking up at all.

He breathed quietly, as if he were completely unaware of the outside world.

Li Lingling felt slightly more at ease and tentatively asked Father God:

"My Senior Brother... will he really not wake up?"

【Really! Absolutely true! Just rest assured, would I, your father, lie to you?】

Just kidding.

I said your Senior Brother won't wake up, so he won't wake up.

Whether he wakes up or not, don't I know?

You could even dance on his head and it would be fine.

After all, you can never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"Then, can I touch him?"

【Hmm?】

Ren Yidao:???

Young girl, your thoughts are very dangerous!

If the genders were swapped, the comments on the website would have already exceeded ten thousand.

Also feeling that her request was a bit excessive, Li Lingling asked with a guilty conscience:

"As expected, is it still not allowed?"

But to her surprise, after a moment of silence, Father God did not refuse, but sighed helplessly:

【... Don't go too far.】

"Really!? Thank you, Father!"

【Sigh.】

Sometimes, Ren Yidao also reflects on himself, wondering if he is spoiling the child too much?

But letting her touch him is better than her touching other strange guys out of curiosity.

This is for the greater good!

It is a case of sacrificing the small family for the sake of the big one.

If I do not go to hell, who will?

And while Ren Yidao was heroically sacrificing himself, Li Lingling's little black hand landed on him.

The girl's slender, scallion-like fingers, carrying a faint warmth, pressed lightly onto his chest and poked tentatively.

"..."

His brows twitched, and Ren Yidao almost failed to control his facial expression.

You, you wicked child!

Change to a different spot!

That is not a button!

Fortunately, the girl was not overly curious about that area; after briefly studying the differences between men and women, her probing fingers did not move downward, but all the way upward.

Along the undulating chest, she paused at the collarbone for a moment before continuing upward.

Brushing past the sharp-angled peaks, she hesitated for a moment, but finally, she boldly let her fingertips land on Senior Brother's lips.

This is a man's lips...

"... Soft."

Li Lingling touched them carefully, and subconsciously raised her other hand to touch her own lips.

Feeling it this way, it seems there is no difference between him and herself?

A man's lips are soft as well.

She leaned down and observed the youth's exquisite face at close range.

"It's completely different from when he's awake."

In daily life, Senior Brother presents an upright aura to outsiders, a hazy immortal intent mixed with Incense and Merit.

But if one is in contact with him for a long time, one can discover another aura emanating from him.

A very faint, faint to the point of being almost imperceptible, yet still vaguely detectable, unique temperament.

Allure.

Although this trait is a bit strange for a man, Li Lingling thought about it repeatedly for a long time and could only reach this one conclusion.

In the bones of Senior Brother, there seems to be a kind of... charm?

And now, after Senior Brother fell asleep and stopped suppressing this trait unconsciously, everything became clear.

"In this world, there could actually be such a... man."

At this moment, Li Lingling realized she was still wrong.

That was not a vulgar, seductive charm, but an attraction that made it impossible for one to look away.

It was like a peerless treasure that would incite people to fight over it, like a secret manual craved by top-tier experts, and like a laurel crown waiting for an outsider to pluck it.

He lay there quietly, seemingly radiating an infinite Demon power.

The distance between the two grew closer and closer, closer and closer...

But just at the moment they were about to make contact, the young girl heard a soft cough.

【Ahem, ahem, ahem, although I don't want to ruin your mood at this time, I still must give you a kind reminder...】

Father God's playful voice echoed faintly in the depths of her heart:

【My daughter, do you really want to do this?】

【Will you really not regret it?】

!!!

Startled by this voice, the young girl

"I! I don't... Huh?"

Pop.

The sensation on her lips flashed by; the young girl didn't even have time to savor it before she bounced up, fell backward, and landed on her bottom on the ground.

Thud.

【Ah, this...】

After a moment of silence, Father God slowly spoke in the depths of Li Lingling's heart, gleefully distancing himself from the situation:

【I'll say this first, you can't blame this on me!】

【You were the one who rushed up yourself!】

The young girl, having lost her first kiss due to carelessness, didn't even have the strength to refute Father God and sat dazed on the floor.

【So? Are you okay?】

Awakened by the voice, Li Lingling couldn't care about anything else; she struggled to her feet and stumbled out of the room.

After she left, Ren Yidao, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat bewildered as well.

"What kind of mess is this?"

In Li Qiushui's case, one could say Ren Yidao had actually done it on purpose; he wasn't exactly a purely good person.

But this time, Ren Yidao could swear to the lamp that he really hadn't intended to do anything.

I am wronged; I am innocent.

This time, I was purely passive!

She was the one who shoved herself onto me!

Look, I even kindly reminded her earlier.

"Oh my, boys must protect themselves well when they are out!"

Otherwise, they will be eaten clean by all sorts of bad people using all kinds of devious methods.

Look, this girl even dared to sneak into my bed this time; I don't even dare to imagine what she might dare to do next!

After thinking for a while, Ren Yidao closed his eyes again.

"Forget it, time to sleep."

Giving up.

"The house is on fire and I'm taking photos, my life is a mess and I'm sleeping~"

"I..."

"What have I done?"

Li Lingling escaped from the room like a walking corpse, standing blankly in front of the door.

She wanted to look back to see if Senior Brother had woken up, but her heart was full of conflict.

What if he had woken up?

What should she do then?

Father God's voice had quietly disappeared, leaving her to think independently.

"Go back..."

After thinking for a while, that was the only conclusion she reached, and she swayed as she walked toward her boudoir.

When Li Lingling left Ren Yidao's guest room, she was so dazed that she didn't notice the shocked gaze in the corner.

Yu Yu:!!!

How did you walk out of Senior Brother's room?

Yu Yu had just suddenly remembered that she hadn't closed her door and was preparing to clear away her traces...

Who would have thought she would stumble upon such a scene!

The roles of attacker and defender had reversed!

These two Junior Sisters of Luoyue Peak were specialized in the art of unknowingly swapping homes with each other.

Yu Yu watched in shock as Li Lingling walked out of Foster Father's room with a blushing face, then walked away looking completely distracted.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a young girl's first experience of love...

"Junior Sister Ling'er... how could it be like this!?"

Huddled behind the corner, Yu Yu pressed tightly against the wall, her thoughts flashing like lightning.

"Mother, what should I do?"

Please tell your child, should I pretend I don't know?

Should I still find an opportunity to clarify things?

The child has never learned this!

Please tell the child, should the child pretend to be ignorant?

Should I still find an opportunity to clarify things?

The child has never learned this!

"Senior Sister, what should I do?"

Since she could not ask the Senior Brother of the person involved about this matter, Yu Yu instinctively thought of another reliable Senior Sister.

"After this, what kind of expression should I even use to face them!?"

……

……

Divine Path Sect, Luoyue Peak.

Jing Yueqin, whom Yu Yu was missing, did not receive the plea for help in her Junior Sister's heart; she pushed open the window and stared blankly at the darkening sky outside.

"How is it already afternoon the moment I open my eyes? Does that mean... it's almost time to sleep again?"

Ever since the Junior Brother took two Junior Sisters out on a trip, she had maintained an exquisite sleep schedule of over twenty hours a day.

There was no special reason.

Boredom.

Who would have thought that days without the Junior Brother's company and without Junior Sisters to tease would be so uninteresting.

"Junior Brother! Come over and play with me!"

"Come—play—with—me—"

After habitually shouting twice, Jing Yueqin finally came to her senses, patted her head, and closed the window with a sense of loneliness.

Click.

The Junior Brother is not home.

The obedient Junior Sister has been abducted.

Xiaojian has not smiled for many years; he is so boring, there is nothing to talk about with him.

Duan went out to find her husband, and Xiao Ling hides from me day after day; it is also quite boring.

The Senior Uncle Sect Leader has gone into seclusion again; he doesn't reply no matter what I say.

In this vast Divine Path Sect, is there really no one left to play with me?

"The Junior Brother went out to play; he has probably forgotten about his sister long ago!"

Pouting resentfully, Jing Yueqin smoothed her blood-red hair and stuck her tongue out at the horizon.

"Wentian City, that is not a good place; that place is full of bad women who eat people without spitting out the bones!"

"Not coming back for so long, I'm afraid he has already been abducted by some woman outside, sigh."

"I am truly foolish, really."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have cared about so much and just gone out with him... sob sob sob!"

Skillfully lying down on the bed, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and muttered sadly to herself:

"Junior Brother, why don't you understand? The women outside are all bad people; only your dear Senior Sister is a truly good woman!"

Sob sob sob——

"Forget it, never mind. If I sleep for a few more days, he should be back, right?"

After muttering for a long time, Jing Yueqin wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and was about to fall into a deep sleep once again.

Just before falling asleep, she muttered to herself:

"However, there is actually no need to worry too much."

"After all, there are still two Junior Sisters by his side; they should obediently block out some of those little birds and flowers, right?"

……Should they?

Suddenly, it felt as if there was a faint revelation in her heart.

Jing Yueqin thought of a terrifying possibility and snapped her eyes open.

"The two of them, they wouldn't commit theft while guarding the treasure, would they!?"

Whoosh!

Jing Yueqin threw off the quilt and sprang up from the bed in one motion.

This thought grew wildly the moment it appeared, rapidly occupying Jing Yueqin's small mind.

"No!"

This is bad!

"I must go and check the situation!!!"

……

……

And while Jing Yueqin was nervously packing her bags and rushing to Wentian to capture the demoness, she did not know that there was actually someone on Luoyue Peak even more nervous than her.

After Jing Yueqin left, Jian Xinxin cautiously swept the area with his divine sense several times and specifically waited for an hour to ensure she would not make a sudden return.

Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister, she has finally left……"

He carried a scroll out of the room, changed into a python robe with dark gold embroidery with a wave of his hand, and tied up his messy hair.

After adjusting himself, he turned and walked into the deepest part of the dungeon, stopping in front of a special door.

Jian Xinxin took a deep breath, forcibly tugged at his already stiff cheeks, and put on a rigid smile.

"Good!"

He pushed open the great door, walked in without a moment's hesitation, and said gently:

"I am here."

Hearing his voice, the woman in the room, who looked exactly like the one in his painting, raised her head.

She used her purple eyes to quietly size up this somewhat nervous man.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, her voice like the faint chirping of a kingfisher.

"A Jian."

She said:

"How much longer do you intend to keep me trapped here?"

Amidst Jian Xinxin's deathly silence, the woman rose and stepped toward him.

Clatter.

The woman smiled, because the chain on her ankle had pulled taut.

"Heh."

"Is this how you treat me?"

"A Jian."

Whoosh...

Exhaling a long breath, Jian Xinxin smiled powerlessly and sighed:

"How much do you still remember about the past?"

"Mei Yongdi."

Upon hearing this, Mei Yongdi began to laugh, speaking with a smile:

"I remember that, except for when we first met, you never called me by my full name, Second Brother."

"I am Fourth Sister, after all."

Creak.

His fist clenched and then relaxed; Jian Xinxin shook his head and repeated in a deep voice:

"How much... do you still remember?"

Seeing him so serious, Mei Yongdi sat back down and muttered to herself:

"Everything."

"Although it is like watching someone else's life, I do indeed remember everything."

"Including life while at the Mei, meeting Third Sister, meeting you brothers, and everything after that."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked right into the trap to find you, would I?"

Tilting her head, she cast a resentful glance at Jian Xinxin, as if looking at a cold-hearted, unfaithful man.

But Jian Xinxin smiled bitterly and touched his chest, where a wound that had reached his heart remained unhealed.

"Yes, you came to find me, only to kill me."

His gaze was incomparably sorrowful, but on the outside, he remained exceptionally calm.

"To you, I am likely nothing more than an excessive obsession now."

A shackle that must be severed.

Mei Yongdi did not deny it; she nodded frankly and asked with a smile:

"Since you know that, have you finally made up your mind to kill me this time?"

She smiled, her eyes harboring a dangerous murderous intent.

She was no longer human, but... a demon.

Mei Yongdi felt not the slightest burden in her heart at this moment about killing her former lover.

But after being stared at by her like this, Jian Xinxin laughed.

For the first time since entering this cell, he laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Kill you?"

"No, how could I ever let you die again?"

He knelt on one knee, raised his hand to press it against Mei Yongdi's ankle, and waved it lightly.

Click.

The shackle opened instantly!

Gazing at the stunned and suspicious Mei Yongdi, he said:

"I have come to return your freedom."

I updated on time yesterday, but it was killed by the AI audit due to keyword retrieval, and it was stuck in "under review," meaning it wouldn't "block" but wouldn't let me edit it either. It suppressed me for a full three hours, and then it was released without a single character changed.

This book really is at odds with AI, isn't it? First killed once by the algorithm, then killed twice by the audit...
