049 Two Tigers
After dinner, Qin Ren was too lazy to go downstairs to throw out the trash. But leaving shrimp shells at home in the summer would easily attract bugs. So he thought of a solution: rinse the shrimp shells with clean water, then put them in a plastic bag and tie it tightly.
This way, the shrimp shells, with some of their fishy smell washed away, could last one night without attracting bugs, and could be taken downstairs to be thrown out the next day.
By the same principle, Qin Ren did the same every time he ate watermelon.
After finishing, he would rinse the watermelon rind, washing away some of the residual sweetness with water. Then, when thrown in the trash can, it wouldn’t attract bugs for the time being.
“So smart.”
Yu Yourong was very impressed with Qin Ren’s life hacks.
“Ge, are you a genius too?”
“Yes, just like you.”
The two of them exchanged commercial praises. Yu Yourong even used the Sixth Calabash Brother from Calabash Brothers to describe her brother.
Because the Sixth Calabash Brother was the smartest of them all. He would fight if he could win, and run if he couldn’t. He didn’t get bogged down in battles and even stole the Jade Ruyi to rescue his other five brothers.
“You finished watching Calabash Brothers?”
“Mhm, just finished today.”
After getting along for a while, Qin Ren discovered that besides being respectful to her master and grateful for kindness, classmate Yu Yourong had another very obvious virtue: a sense of justice.
For example, after watching Calabash Brothers, as a member of the snake clan, she didn’t side with the snake spirit. Instead, she strongly supported the Calabash Brothers and even said she wanted Qin Ren to take her to pay respects to the mountain the Calabash Brothers had turned into.
“You can’t pay respects to it.”
“Why?”
“It’s fake. It’s a story made up by Earthlings.”
“Made-up stories…”
Yu Yourong felt that Earthlings were not honest. The people of the Flowing Cloud Sect never made up stories.
Except for Master.
Every time the fruits and snacks stored in the kitchen for the outer sect foundation-building disciples went missing, Master would make up some stories about little puppies stealing them. But in reality, she herself was that little puppy. So embarrassing.
No, wait, so embarrassing for a snake.
“This kind of made-up story you’re talking about, we have it on Earth too. It’s called ‘based on a true story’.”
“Ge, are there any other stories on TV like Calabash Brothers where the good guys defeat the bad guys?”
Yu Yourong asked for a recommendation. Qin Ren thought for a moment and recommended Ip Man.
As it happened, Yu Yourong had entered the Dao with her body, so Qin Ren felt she would probably like kung fu movies.
So, that night, Yu Yourong searched for Ip Man on the TV.
…
In terms of electronic technology and the internet, Yu Yourong had a strange talent. She learned even faster than Luo Yao.
The most typical example was that she had already learned how to type on a keyboard.
Including the nine-keypad kind.
“Meow.”
After starting the movie, Tuantuan jumped onto Yu Yourong’s chest, sat down, and watched with her. Anyway, she hadn’t found anything else good to watch recently.
“Luo Yao, do you want to watch too?” Yu Yourong turned her head to look at Luo Yao at the other end of the sofa.
“What is it?” Luo Yao was lying on her stomach on the sofa with her butt in the air, flipping through a copy of One Hundred Thousand Whys.
“A movie, Ip Man.”
“Who is Ip Man?”
“The Ip Man who knows Wing Chun.”
Luo Yao had never heard of him. She didn’t even raise her head.
“Is he as powerful as Luo Binwang?”
“Who is Luo Binwang?”
“Luo Binwang knows how to ‘sing a goose’.”
Yu Yourong bit her nails, not quite understanding.
“Is ‘singing a goose’ more powerful than Wing Chun?”
“Of course.”
Stupid woman. Luo Yao couldn’t be bothered to explain to her. If she were as smart as Luo Yao, she would only need to count which character, “chun” or “e,” had more strokes to know.
Things with more strokes are more powerful. For example, a Pixiu is more powerful than a snake.
———————
However, even the most powerful Pixiu would get tired after studying for a long time. After reading One Hundred Thousand Whys for a while, Luo Yao went to the bedroom to play on her phone. Qin Ren, on the other hand, came out of the bedroom and handed two new bath towels to Yu Yourong.
“I’ve already washed your previous bath towels. Use these two tonight.”
The community was still having a water outage today, so Qin Ren still had the two girls shower together at night to save both time and water.
“Ge, is it going to be like this every day?”
“Probably for this whole week.”
Upon hearing this, classmate Yu Yourong couldn’t help but tell him the truth.
“Actually, when the water was out yesterday, I didn’t shower with Luo Yao…”
“You didn’t shower?”
Qin Ren looked at Yu Yourong strangely. Yu Yourong became a little anxious and bit her lower lip.
“Just one day… I won’t get dirty…”
“No, no, no, I’m not saying you’re dirty.”
Qin Ren didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“I just wanted to ask why. Are you not used to showering with others?”
Yu Yourong shook her head. In the Flowing Cloud Sect, she, her master, and her junior sisters all bathed in the same pool. Luo Yao’s human form was no different from theirs; she was also a normal, pretty girl. There was nothing she wasn’t used to.
“It’s Luo Yao. She won’t shower with me.”
“Why?”
“She said her eyes would get styes.”
“…”
Qin Ren’s eyelids drooped. Yu Yourong was still tilting her head.
“Ge, what’s a stye?”
“It’s something that idiots grow.”
Qin Ren said as he went back to the bedroom to question the idiot who was lying on the bed playing Landlords, demanding a reasonable explanation from her.
“I just asked you to take a shower with Yourong. How did you get a stye?”
“Hmph…”
The High Immortal stared at her phone, switched to another of Qin Ren’s accounts, and continued to grab the landlord with her cards revealed. Then she let out a cold, matter-of-fact huff.
“Her chest is too indecent. Not just this eminence, but if you look too much, Qin Ren, you’ll get styes too.”
“I think you look like a stye.”
Qin Ren raised his palm. Luo Yao quickly threw her phone on the bed, covered her little bottom, and ran out of the bedroom whimpering. She took the initiative to find Yu Yourong to shower with.
“Yourong, take care of her a bit. Don’t let her catch a cold.” Qin Ren had asked. Luo Yao’s good friend hadn’t left yet and would probably stay for another two days.
“Mhm, got it.”
The two girls moved two small plastic stools into the bathroom. Luo Yao interpreted “take care of” as “serve” and ordered Little Fish to help her take off her clothes.
Her little dress was easy to take off. Yu Yourong’s movements were gentler than when Qin Ren changed her clothes every morning and evening. This successfully increased Luo Yao’s favorability towards Yu Yourong by +1.
However, when Yu Yourong also took off her clothes, she furrowed her soft, delicate brows, feeling a little uncomfortable. Favorability -1.
“Why are your little clothes like that?”
Luo Yao was used to calling underwear “little clothes.” She looked at her own, a thin cotton, just a shorter tank top, hanging plainly on her delicate shoulders.
But Yu Yourong’s was different. Two soft semi-circles, with a layer of black lace mesh on top. Besides those two lumps of excess fat being an eyesore, the little clothes themselves were very pretty.
Including the little panties. They weren’t as domineering as Luo Yao’s Kun, but… but they were very pretty, the kind a pervert would like.
“Has Qin Ren seen your little clothes and little panties?” Mentioning a pervert, Luo Yao thought of someone.
“No.”
“He’s seen mine.”
Luo Yao muttered, speaking to Yu Yourong, then stared at Yu Yourong’s chest for a while.
“These two things you’re wearing are the same as what those foxes from the Acacia Sect wear.”
“They’re not.”
Yu Yourong firmly denied it.
“They wear them on the outside. I… I don’t…”
“Hmph…”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this.”
Yu Yourong didn’t know why Luo Yao had to bring up her brother and the Acacia Sect while they were showering. Anyway, she was gradually feeling embarrassed, because she had just remembered that Qin Ren hadn’t exactly not seen her little clothes.
For example, her own “Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate.” He had definitely seen it, and even touched it.
“Why are you blushing?” Luo Yao looked at Yu Yourong unhappily.
“It’s… it’s hot.”
Yu Yourong had just turned on the shower. The water wasn’t even warm yet, and she was saying it was hot. Luo Yao was a little skeptical.
Because her brother had said to take care of Luo Yao, Yu Yourong was very careful with the water temperature. After asking Luo Yao several times, she finally hung up the showerhead with the adjusted temperature.
“I’ll wash your hair first. Close your eyes.”
The two of them were already naked. Luo Yao was happy to have the indecent chest out of sight, out of mind. She wiggled her little bottom, turned around, and closed her eyes. After her hair was washed, she turned back and let Yu Yourong continue to wash her body, and then curiously touched Yu Yourong’s reverse scale.
“What’s wrong?” Unlike with Qin Ren, Yu Yourong didn’t feel anything unusual, just a little itchy.
“Nothing.”
Luo Yao shook her head, her gaze shifting down a little. The sight before her was a flash of white, and she felt a little schadenfreude.
“Looks like you can’t divorce Qin Ren in the future either~”
“Di…vorce?”
“Mhm. It’s a method women on Earth use to threaten and control men.”
Luo Yao educated Yu Yourong.
“Qin Ren said that if you want to get a divorce, you have to get married first. And you can’t get married if you haven’t even grown any hair. I can’t, anyway. But it’s obvious you can’t either.”
Yu Yourong was completely bewildered. She felt that Luo Yao was spouting nonsense again and began to consider whether she should tattle to her brother and have him spank her after they got out.
