After entering the room, Deng Tianyu sat down, looked at his junior sister, and asked with some confusion, “Shishi, what did you want to tell me?”
“Senior Brother, actually… actually…” Li Shishi hesitated, then took a deep breath and said with utter seriousness, “Actually, I am just like Long Kui from that story Senior Brother told!”
Hearing this, Deng Tianyu pondered for a moment, then revealed a look of understanding. “I see!”
Through all the previous oddities, he had already guessed this to some extent.
Especially after Li Shishi cultivated that special technique, he had clearly noticed that sometimes, two distinctly conflicting personalities would emerge in a contradictory manner.
Therefore, that night when telling the story, Deng Tianyu had specifically brought up Long Kui from Chinese Paladin 3.
Li Shishi bit her lip, her eyes downcast. “Would Senior Brother hate me?”
Deng Tianyu countered, “Why would I hate you?”
“Because I hid it for so long!”
“Everyone has their own secrets. Whether to tell them or not is a matter of personal freedom.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Senior Brother is the best!” Li Shishi’s face instantly broke into a delighted smile, and the weight on her heart lifted.
She had been worried about this matter all along, unsure how to bring it up with Senior Brother.
Now that she had his understanding, besides feeling overjoyed, she felt her entire body relax considerably.
Deng Tianyu thought for a moment, then asked curiously, “But since there’s another Shishi inside you, why didn’t I ever see her when we were little?”
He and Li Shishi had grown up together since childhood, yet he had never discovered she had two personalities.
“I’ll explain the reason for that!”
As she spoke, a red lotus hue rippled through Li Shishi’s beautiful eyes, and her jet-black hair, which reached her waist, turned a cinnabar red.
Witnessing this transformation firsthand, Deng Tianyu’s heart also filled with astonishment.
Yet, looking at the other Li Shishi before him, he felt no sense of strangeness; she was still just as warm and familiar.
Mu Wanzhi smiled gently, her red lips parting slightly. “Actually, before this, I was always in an extremely special state.”
“Like a deep sleep, yet I could still sense everything happening outside.”
“Therefore, everything Shishi has experienced, I could feel as well.”
Deng Tianyu asked, “Then how did you break free from that state?”
Meeting his gaze, Mu Wanzhi slowly explained, “After Shishi cultivated that very special technique, I broke away from that sleep-like state…”
Under her explanation, Deng Tianyu gradually understood everything.
Including the name of the other Shishi and what had happened with the Flower Clan.
Deng Tianyu revealed a look of sudden realization. “So that’s how it is!”
He had never imagined that Li Shishi’s background was so complicated and mysterious.
Suddenly, a thought struck him.
According to Mu Wanzhi, Li Shishi was conceived using her own essence blood as a catalyst, through that special technique. So what was the relationship between the two of them?
Sisters?
Mother and daughter?
Or a bit of both?
As if seeing through Deng Tianyu’s thoughts, Mu Wanzhi said softly, “The way Shishi and I interact is more like sisters!”
Saying this, her graceful body leaned forward, and her red lips parted slightly, breathing out an orchid-like fragrance. “Of course, if Senior Brother feels that a sisterly relationship is inappropriate, Shishi and I can also address each other as mother and daughter.”
“As long as Senior Brother likes it!”
His nose was filled with a delicate, pleasant floral fragrance, and before his eyes was that breathtakingly beautiful face.
He had to admit, compared to Li Shishi, Mu Wanzhi possessed an added flavor of mature charm and allure.
Deng Tianyu sighed, somewhat helplessly. “Stop teasing!”
Li Shishi usually spouted all sorts of outrageous things, leaving people unsure whether to laugh or cry.
And while Mu Wanzhi wouldn’t do that, she was even bolder and more passionate.
What was all this about!
To this, Mu Wanzhi’s beautiful eyes rippled with bewitching waves, and she smiled charmingly. “Does Senior Brother prefer me, or Shishi?”
“Or perhaps both?”
As soon as the words fell, the red hair turned back to black. Li Shishi took over, revealing a mischievous expression. “Senior Brother, which one do you actually prefer?”
After confessing, she no longer needed to deliberately hide anything and immediately began to let loose.
Deng Tianyu took a sip of fragrant tea and fell silent, feeling a slight headache coming on!
One Li Shishi was already enough for him to handle; now that there was another, he was finding it a bit overwhelming!
Suddenly, Deng Tianyu recalled something.
The last time Li Shishi was drunk, she had mistaken him for a teapot spout and used him to moisten her mouth.
At that time, to test whether Li Shishi was deliberately pretending, he had tried tickling her.
Yet, she had shown no reaction whatsoever.
Was it possible that the one present then was Mu Wanzhi, not Li Shishi?
“Senior Brother, why aren’t you saying anything?” Seeing Deng Tianyu fall silent, Li Shishi pressed on with great interest, even boldly blowing a puff of warm air into his ear.
The next moment, her entire body stiffened. Her face instantly flushed red, and she laughed so hard she shook like a flower trembling on its stem.
“Giggle… Senior Brother you… how can you do this… giggle!”
At some point, Deng Tianyu’s hand had landed on her waist, tickling her furiously.
Did she really think he had no way to deal with her?
But just then, a flash of red light appeared. Mu Wanzhi replaced Li Shishi, looking at him with a smile playing on her lips.
Deng Tianyu was momentarily thrown off!
What kind of move was this?
He was about to pull his hand back, but unexpectedly, Mu Wanzhi’s soft, boneless hand pressed down on his, holding it in place.
Their eyes met, and they could feel each other’s breath. A hint of intimacy began to stir.
Mu Wanzhi’s lips curled into a captivating smile. “Senior Brother, you ambushed me just now!”
Deng Tianyu rolled his eyes. “And then?”
If she and Li Shishi hadn’t liked playing these flashy tricks, would he be in this situation?
“Just now, Senior Brother was the one ambushing, so now… it’s my turn!”
Mu Wanzhi’s slender hand hooked around her Senior Brother’s neck. Her delicate body leaned forward, and her luscious, tempting red lips fiercely kissed his lips.
It was just a shallow kiss, breaking apart the moment they touched.
“Goodnight, Senior Brother!”
Then, leaving only those words behind, Mu Wanzhi fluttered out of the room like a gorgeous butterfly, not giving Deng Tianyu a chance to speak.
Deng Tianyu stared at the closed door, completely dumbfounded!
In a certain sense, he had just been ambushed too!
What was this?
Returning courtesy?
Or mutual ambushes?
Back in her own room, Mu Wanzhi leaned against the door, her beautiful face flushed a stunning peach-red. Her slender fingers brushed past the corner of her lips, her heart trembling intensely.
It wasn’t her first time kissing Deng Tianyu.
It was just that before, it had always been under Li Shishi’s identity. Now, it was different.
Because now, she was Mu Wanzhi, her own self!
“Wuu… is it over?”
A soft, melodious voice echoed in her mind. Clearly, Li Shishi had just snapped back to her senses from that kiss.
“Shishi, we still need to push harder.”
“Strive to mold Senior Brother into our shape sooner!”
Mu Wanzhi savored the recent intimacy, her breathing slightly ragged, and let out an infatuated giggle.
Li Shishi nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Mm, mold him into our shape!”
Then she asked, “But what should we do next?”
Mu Wanzhi narrowed her bewitching eyes. “Continue to leverage our respective strengths and deepen the offensive!”
