085 The Girls at Night (Part 2)
Finally, Qin Ren decided to tell Luo Yao the story of “The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.”
While he was telling the story, the two snakes on the sofa bed outside had already wrapped themselves in a thin blanket. Yu Ling’er was thinking about the game. She closed her eyes for a short while and then opened them again. She turned her head and saw that her disciple’s eyes were even wider than hers, looking thoughtful.
“Yourong.”
“Mhm…”
“You’re not still thinking about Gu Qing, are you?”
“No.”
Yu Yourong shook her head.
“I’m thinking about the blood moon.”
“The blood moon?”
The topic was quite unexpected. Yu Ling’er blinked her eyes.
“What’s wrong with the blood moon?”
“Master, do you remember I told you that when I first came to Earth, I met a monster.”
“Mhm, I remember. Qin Ren calls him Goudan and says he’s a Demonic Scion.”
“Right. I beat it up at the time because it had an aura similar to the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, so I mistook it for a type of Heavenly Demon I had never seen before.”
Yu Yourong had explained this to her brother and also to her master. The reason Yu Yourong brought it up again after so long was because of the appearance of the blood moon.
“When the blood moon appeared today, I seemed to have suddenly sensed that kind of aura again. I’m just not sure if it’s related to the blood moon, or if there was just another similar Demonic Scion, or if I was just mistaken and overthinking it…”
“Heavenly Demons…”
Her disciple was being quite serious about this. Yu Ling’er also began to ponder.
“…The last time the Heavenly Demons invaded the Myriad Demon Continent was, I think, a hundred and twenty years ago. Yourong, you’re not worried that they’ll come for Earth, are you?”
“A little…”
“Don’t worry. They definitely won’t.”
Yu Ling’er was a sword cultivator. After losing her spiritual power, her perception was not as good as the body cultivator, Yu Yourong. But regarding her disciple’s worries, Yu Ling’er, with her understanding of the Heavenly Demons, could be 99.99% sure that Yu Yourong was overthinking it.
“First, Earth has planar barriers. We only ascended here because of the breach this time. Where would the Heavenly Demons come from? And now, after the blood moon appeared, even the breach is gone. Even if the Heavenly Demons came to Earth through the Myriad Demon Continent, it has become impossible.”
“Second, the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons have been invading the Myriad Demon Continent since ancient times. What they plunder are nothing more than the spirit mines on the continent, like blood essence stones. In contrast, Earth doesn’t even have spiritual energy, let alone spirit mines. Even if the Heavenly Demons went to great lengths to come here, what would they be after?”
Motive and method. Yu Ling’er had made these two key points very clear. After listening, Yu Yourong also felt that it made sense. 99.99% of this was her overthinking it.
No matter how good Yu Yourong’s perception was, it couldn’t compare to when she still had her spiritual power. The aura of a Heavenly Demon was something that was a mix of guessing and feeling. Not to mention whether it was accurate or not, even if the aura of a Heavenly Demon had indeed appeared during the blood moon, it was 99.99% likely to have come from a Demonic Scion on Earth, such as Goudan.
After all, Earth was very magical. Even Tuantuan had some residual spiritual energy from who knows where. Some things couldn’t always be thought of with the rigid mindset of the Myriad Demon Continent. It was easy to worry about nothing.
So Yu Yourong stopped thinking about it. Her gaze also slowly shifted from the ceiling to her master’s body.
To be precise, to her master’s hands.
“…”
“?”
Yu Ling’er felt that her disciple’s gaze was a little creepy.
“Yourong, if you’ve figured it out, then hurry up and sleep. Why are you staring at me…”
“Master, from the time you turned off the computer to getting into bed until now, what have you been doing with your right hand?”
“Huh? Have… have I?”
Yu Ling’er looked down in a daze. It was true. Her left hand had been holding her right hand, restlessly squeezing it, like a young maiden about to be married. She didn’t even know what she was squeezing, and she herself hadn’t noticed.
And if Yu Yourong remembered correctly, her brother had been teaching her master how to use the mouse hand over hand…
Hehe.
A cold smile, learned from Gu Qing, welled up from the bottom of classmate Yu Yourong’s heart.
What a dull-witted master. So what if a man held her hand for a while? So fidgety. I don’t know what there is to care about…
“I’m sleeping.”
Yu Yourong rolled over, using her full chest to snatch away a large part of the blanket.
“Hey, you… you child!”
Yu Ling’er didn’t know what was wrong with her. She also rolled over, using her “better than some, worse than others” advantage to snatch back the lost part of the blanket.
“Big-butt wooden-head master…”
“Fleshy-lump unfilial disciple…”
“?”
“?”
…
————————
The master and disciple also fell asleep quite quickly. Their rustling whispers drifted in the living room for a while. By the time Qin Ren had coaxed Luo Yao to sleep and quietly came out, he could already clearly hear the even breathing of the two snakes.
It was just that he didn’t know why, on the large sofa bed, a sufficiently large thin blanket had been pulled into a mess by the two of them.
One end of the blanket was tightly wrapped around Yu Ling’er’s voluptuous hipline like a pencil skirt, while the other end was wrapped around the two large white rabbits Yu Yourong was raising, like a tube top.
“Why does it look like there was a war…”
Qin Ren took another blanket that was casually thrown on the computer chair and, lightly, gave one to each of the master and disciple. Then he went to his sister’s bedroom.
Creak—
“Qing’er?”
It was dark, but fortunately, there was the night light. He could see Gu Qing, wrapped in the blanket, slowly blinking her eyes.
“What are you waiting for… come in, will you? I’m dead tired…”
Gu Qing rolled her eyes at him and turned her face slightly to the side, meaning that she was blaming Qin Ren for being late. But she had also made some space on the bed, just enough for a little brother.
“I told you I was coming. You shouldn’t have waited up.”
The light fragrance in the room filled his nostrils. Qin Ren lay down. A warm body slowly and softly pressed against him, very demure compared to a certain Pixiu.
After all, Gu Qing was a big girl. If she were to cling to Qin Ren as directly as Luo Yao, it would be quite improper.
“Who told you you’re a big liar, always liking to lie to me…” Gu Qing pulled one of Qin Ren’s arms and used it as a pillow.
“When did I lie to you again?”
“See, you even said ‘again’. Aren’t you a big liar?”
“A slip of the tongue.”
“Oh, then was your promise not to get a girlfriend also a slip of the tongue?”
“…”
It’s over. She’s starting to bring up old scores again.
So this sister’s bed is really not something to be trifled with…
“Why are you bringing up Orange now…”
Qin Ren spoke softly and emotionally to Gu Qing.
“Qing’er, let’s be honest. Sometimes I think you’re quite… that.”
“What?”
“There’s a word… called… sis-con…”
“…”
No one spoke, but it felt like the temperature in the air had faintly warmed a few degrees. It was very strange.
“Qin Ren, you… are you trying to say I’m a pervert!” So it was his older sister who was angry. No wonder it was warm.
“No, no… what I mean is, an older sister can be a sis-con, but while being a sis-con, she should also support her little brother, encourage her little brother to fall in love…”
Gu Qing let out a cold “oh.”
“Then should an older sister also encourage her little brother to cheat? Encourage her little brother to have a taste of big, medium, and small? Encourage her little brother to have a harem?”
“Ha… harem?”
Qin Ren did a tactical eye-widen. That word was ridiculous.
“What? You count them yourself. How many women are sleeping in the house? If it’s not a harem, what is it?”
“Aiyo, how can that be the same?”
Qin Ren was righteous, and his words were from the heart.
“Qing’er, you know me. I’ve always been very devoted to the people I like. For example, you. Back in the second year of middle school, it was popular in school to have sworn brothers and sisters and be ambiguous. Those junior high school delinquent senior sisters were after my body and insisted on making me their sworn brother. In the end, they even threatened to have people beat me up. But did I ever say a single word?”
“You have the nerve to say that. That was you being stubborn!”
He was about to be beaten up and still wouldn’t back down. Every time Gu Qing thought of this, she was scared. She only had this one little brother. Gu Qing’s world only had this one Qin Ren. If he were really beaten up, she definitely wouldn’t want to live a good life either.
But then again, many things that seemed silly after growing up were treated as a big deal when you were young.
The sentimental and insecure Gu Qing in her adolescence would sometimes tell Qin Ren that if he had other older sisters, she would be so sad that she would hide in a nunnery. So at that time, in order not to let his older sister become a nun, Qin Ren had dug himself into a hole in the face of the delinquent’s threats.
But to bring up this example now, it did indeed show Qin Ren’s devotion to Gu Qing.
…
“And for example, Siyun.”
Devoted to the Gu Qing he liked, and of course, devoted to the girlfriend he liked. Qin Ren continued to give examples.
“During these days abroad, how many bad friends have asked me to find a girlfriend? Of course, they don’t know the inside story… but even so, this bunch of bad people have repeatedly dragged me to foot massage parlors and massage parlors, and even tried to get me drunk and make me lose my virginity. But what about me? I’ve never been tainted by a single leaf, my will is firm, I’m as pure as ice and jade…”
Ding-dong—
Speak of the devil and his wife shall appear. Just as Qin Ren finished speaking, the “bad friend” he was talking about sent a WeChat message.
Qin Ren opened it and saw that it was in the [Fatherly Love, Filial Piety 213] group chat. Zhou Chi had enthusiastically @-ed everyone.
[Zhou Chi: Brothers! I just found something good! The female lead looks like Ding Kaile’s mom from Happy Planet! My childhood goddess! magnet:?xt=urn:btih:aos2jya8idh345q4fdd75go65ilasg]
[Li Wei: ?]
[Zhang Fei: ?]
Two question marks were sent in a row. Qin Ren also quickly closed the screen, because he felt that Gu Qing had already grabbed his collar and brought her face close.
“Who?” A sixth sense made Gu Qing narrow her eyes.
“Zhou Chi. He’s going crazy in the group chat. I’ve already blocked him.”
Qin Ren put his phone on the bedside table on his side and reached out his arm to change the subject.
“Let’s not talk about it. Didn’t you say you were sleepy just now, Qing’er? Go to sleep. Do you want a hug?”
“…”
When he was a child, Qin Ren wouldn’t ask this question. But now that he was grown up, he would. Gu Qing murmured “no.” She felt that Qin Ren was being sneaky. She had wanted to ask more about the WeChat message, but Qin Ren continued to change the subject.
“By the way, Jie. I suddenly remembered. Last time at the hotel, when I woke up, I smelled of you all over. You…”
“Shut up! Go to sleep!”
“?”
Gu Qing didn’t understand what Qin Ren was talking about. Anyway, she just went to sleep like that. But Qin Ren still waited for a while, until eleven or twelve, before he took his phone again.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in Ding Kaile’s mom. It was because he hadn’t forgotten his promise to a certain department head at the company.
[Qin Ren: Sister Yun, what are you doing?]
