Chapter 166: Prime Minister? Who? Me!? (Second Update)

The Dao God's tail swept across, then it slowly arched its body.

It slowly stretched its body out, took a lazy stretch, and then returned to its original position.

And just as it was preparing to move, a figure flashed before it again.

"Oh, so I really can come back."

Dao God:?

Ren Yidao, who had just disappeared from this space, returned to the space again with a thoughtful look on his face.

This was actually quite normal.

When you discover a website with explosive visuals and amazing content, what do you do?

The first thing is to save the URL, and the second thing is definitely to confirm whether you can log in again!

Not to mention anything else, if you couldn't log in again, then no matter how good the website was, it would be useless.

It wouldn't even be good enough to be used as toilet paper!

Of course, I am talking about those websites where you can watch moving movies, the tissues for wiping your nose...

The Dao God stiffened its body, slowly adjusting itself at an imperceptible speed, returning to the exact same posture as before.

Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...

Whether it was because its prayers were truly effective or because Ren Yidao was too focused on his attempts, he actually didn't notice the Dao God's abnormality.

After repeatedly logging out and logging in twice, Ren Yidao finally nodded in satisfaction and stopped trying.

But this time, the Dao God did not dare to move rashly again...

More terrifying than the sound of someone upstairs dropping their shoes is when they only drop one.

When exactly would this second shoe fall?

……

……

Leaving the Dream Space, it wasn't that Ren Yidao didn't want to continue trying.

It was that the situation didn't allow it.

It was dawn.

The flow of time in the Dream Space is the same as in the outside world.

"... Where is the person?"

He looked at the messy fox tails on the bed beside him and tilted his head.

Looking around back and forth, he couldn't find the Peak Master Jing who had been lying here.

Her sudden disappearance did not exceed his expectations.

He had already guessed it when he saw her sneaking into the room last night.

This reserved Senior Sister, it seems, did not want others to know that she had run out from Luoyue Peak.

"Is she shy?"

She rejected Li Lingling so decisively back then, so now she has no face to admit she likes it?

While manually tucking the fox tails back one by one, he complained:

"You... are you a child?"

And just as he finished tidying up the fox tails, there was a knock on his door.

"Senior Brother? Are you awake?"

Just as he thought of Li Lingling, the person herself had arrived.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Ren Yidao's response, Li Lingling outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"Can I come in? Senior Sister said you came back last night."

Looking around, Ren Yidao casually opened the door after confirming there were no details that could expose him.

Click.

Li Lingling hesitated as she poked her head in, and only after carefully looking her Senior Brother over did she let out a long breath.

"That's great, Senior Brother, you are truly safe and sound."

Seeing that Ren Yidao was unharmed, the young girl's hanging heart finally settled.

When she learned the news yesterday, she rushed to the Imperial Palace immediately, but before she could wait at Longgong Hall, she was taken away directly by Ran Guifei.

No matter what she said, Ran Guifei had no intention of letting her leave and locked her directly in the Cold Palace.

"Now that your Imperial Father is not in Wentian, you are not to go anywhere; just stay here properly."

Ran Guifei's approach was actually correct; at a time like this, being by anyone else's side was not as safe as being with her.

She was also just thinking of her daughter's safety.

Resistance was futile, so the helpless Li Lingling had to beg to bring Yu Yu along.

Ran Guifei did not refuse and sent people to invite Yu Yu over.

But she was flatly refused by Yu Yu, who did not want to leave, so she had to stay on the outskirts of the residence to guard.

It wasn't until the Emperor returned this morning that she, who had spent the night tormenting the white fox, was released by Ran Guifei.

"Go on, stop tormenting my little fox here."

Snatching the white fox back from the woman's hands, Ran Guifei hugged the wilted white fox with a pained heart and chased her beloved daughter out.

"If you want one, go find one yourself; this one of mine was also hard-won."

The first thing she did after regaining her freedom was to rush back here; before she could even speak, she saw Yu Yu in an excellent mood as soon as she entered the door.

Hmm?

Li Lingling naturally would not think that Yu Yu could be so heartless as to be this happy while Senior Brother was missing.

Upon asking, it turned out that Ren Yidao had indeed returned safely.

Watching Li Lingling's furrowed brows relax, Ren Yidao also felt a stirring in his heart and said softly:

"I have made you all worry."

That Yu Yu would worry was within Ren Yidao's expectations.

But honestly, he was still somewhat surprised that Li Lingling was also this worried about him.

Even if she was already his adopted daughter in his heart, that was only in his identity as Father God, not his true self.

After all, his relationship with her could not be considered very good; they could only be described as relatively close fellow disciples.

Moreover, from the perspective of others, he had been quite close to Li Qiushui recently, even fighting on her behalf in the struggle for the Prime Minister position.

To say that Li Lingling had absolutely no suspicions about this in her heart was probably impossible.

"It is good that Senior Brother is safe and sound."

Looking at the smiling Senior Brother, Li Lingling felt that the gaze he directed at her seemed to have become a bit gentler.

Then, she subconsciously looked at Senior Brother's lips, which were curled into a pleasing arc...

!!!

Recalling that scene from before, the young girl shrank her body in a bashful manner and let out two chuckles.

"Heh, hehe..."

Ren Yidao:?

What is wrong with this girl?

Why did she suddenly start giggling?

"You are..."

"Uh, cough, cough, cough! It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things."

Realizing her lapse in composure, the young girl coughed forcefully a few times, then solemnly cupped her hands toward Ren Yidao.

"Th-that... congratulations, Senior Brother!"

Hm?

Instinctively cupping his hands in return, Ren Yidao did not know what method Li Lingling had come up with in her haste, and asked curiously:

"Are you referring to me being safe and sound?"

Is such a small matter worth congratulating?

"Eh? Senior Brother, you don't know?"

"Know what?"

Seeing the confusion on Ren Yidao's face, which did not look feigned, Li Lingling was no longer embarrassed.

She blinked her eyes, tilted her head at Senior Brother, and asked in surprise:

"Among the three people who went missing, you are the only one who has returned."

"Hm? Isn't Li Fengyao... never mind, pretend I didn't say anything."

The clone turned his head to glance at the Second Prince who was still fast asleep, and Ren Yidao decided to remain silent on this matter.

Oh, she indeed did not go out all night; I can testify to that.

As for Jia Ming... Li Long seems to have no intention of continuing to serve.

"So, what does this mean?"

"Ah? Do you really not know about this?"

Giving Ren Yidao another strange look, Li Lingling spoke slowly:

"According to the current rumors in Wentian City, the first person to return will be the candidate for Prime Minister..."

Ren Yidao:?

Prime Minister? Who?

Me!!?
