I accepted the call immediately because I didn’t want to wake Lin Yixin up. It was Beiming Xue’s number.

"Big brother?" Beiming Xue asked softly.

I smiled. "Hi, Beiming. Long time to see."

"Yeah!"

Beiming Xue’s voice grew relaxed. "Are you sleeping, big brother?"

"Almost. I just lay down on the bed."

"I heard that Sister Lin Yixin went to Xinjiang to look for you. Is that true? Is she with you right now?"

"Yep," I replied casually. However, my answer got a not-so-casual reply as Beiming Xue’s tone climbed several decibels.

"I knew it! You’re sleeping with Sister Lin Yixin! Hmph, your daring knows no bounds, big brother…"

My jaw nearly hit the floor. "It’s not what you think, Beiming!"

"Hmph! Only a guilty person would say that…"

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, yes, I’m sleeping with Yiyi, so? What are you gonna do about it? Bite me?"

Beiming Xue: "I want to visit you too, big brother…"

Me: "I may be heading home very soon, so please hang on just a bit longer, Beiming. I don’t even know how I’m supposed to persuade Yiyi to go home, if you girls show up too, it’ll truly be a mess…"

Beiming Xue: "You don’t want me anymore, big brother?"

"It’s not like that…"

"What are you doing right now, big brother?"

"Er, going to bed?"

"Don’t touch Sister Lin Yixin, or you’ll be unfaithful to Sister Eve, understand?"

"I get it, I get it…"

……

I hung up and let out a sigh of relief. My back was covered in cold sweat right now.

I looked down and saw Lin Yixin pressed up against me and sleeping soundly. The problem was that her towel had been kicked off her person a long time ago, so her naked breasts were literally pressed up against my chest. I nearly lost my mind when the realization struck me.

"C-calm down, calm down, Lu Chen. Think of p-p-papayas, yes, sweet, round, pl—no!"

The conflict raging in my heart felt strong enough to physically tear me in half. On one hand, my desire was telling me to rock the bed with Lin Yixin right now. On the other hand, I didn’t want to disturb her peaceful sleep, I literally just received a call from Beiming Xue telling me not to do exactly what my heart was telling me to do, and most importantly, I could hear rustling noises from the room next door! Chaos Moon was still awake!

"Lin Bing Dou Zhe Zhen Lie Zai Qian…" (T/N: He’s muttering and doing religious hand gestures. Each word corresponds to a certain type of hand gesture.)

I made the hand gestures of a certain secret sect to steady my mind. Yes, pressed up against my body was the Fruit Knife Goddess of countless weebs’ dreams. Yes, Lin Yixin was completely defenseless and in full display in every sense of the word. And yes, I felt like a demon was tearing my insides right now, but that was no reason to lose control of myself. So, I continued making hand gestures to calm myself—

Seal of the Immovable Wisdom King!

Seal of the Outer Lion!

Seal of the Inner Lion!

Seal of the Wisdom Fist!

Seal of the Concealed Form!

Seal of the Immovable Roots!

……

As the seals of the Mantra of Nine Words emerged into existence one by one, I came within one step of cultivating a peerless divine art when Lin Yixin suddenly hugged my neck and raged at me, "What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night? Go to sleep already, bastard!"

I dared not say a word in retort.

Now that she was awake, I hugged her gently and whispered beside her ear, "Yiyi, can I…"

Lin Yixin cut me off murderously, "You can try!"

Me: "..."

"Idiot…"

Suddenly, Lin Yixin deflated and sighed quietly. "Why did you fall in love with me even though you already have Sister He Yi? If one day you come to love me and me alone, then…"

She turned her back on me and started sobbing quietly.

I hugged her wordlessly from behind.

"Little Cheat."

"Hmm?"

"Do you love me?"

"Mn."

She turned around, returned my embrace, sobbed, smiled, and sobbed again. "If I could go back in time and start this over, I might have chosen to not fall in love with you…"

I said quietly, "We’re going to have to book a room for you tomorrow…"

"Oh? Why’s that?" she said with a smirk.

I rubbed my nose and answered honestly, "You’re a girl. You’ll never understand what it means to have a raging boner all night…"

Lin Yixin: "..."

……

The next day early morning, sunshine shone through the gaps between the curtains and pricked me to wakefulness. I opened my eyes. Lin Yixin mumbled something incomprehensible in my bosom before looking up and shooting me a dazzling smile. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Mn."

I nodded before asking, "Say, when did you put on a pyjamas?"

Lin Yixin blushed a bit before replying, "Last night. I was worried that you'd lose control of yourself when you woke up in the morning and saw… so I..."

Me: "..."

I bent down and kissed her deeply on the lips. Lin Yixin squirmed a bit before hugging me back and meeting my advances. Her arms felt like soft, flexible vines that I wouldn’t mind being trapped in forever.

Happiness welled inside my heart. Ever since I was exiled from the China server, I had been forced to live far away from my home and spend the days in coldness and solitude. It wasn’t until this morning that I understood just how wonderful life could be. To be able to wake up to such a beautiful sight first thing in the morning was... All I could say was that I could rest in peace now...

My hands automatically slipped down to Lin Yixin’s round, plump butt, causing her to let out a cute whine and shoot me a glare. It didn’t matter though, because all it took was another long kiss to chase away her indignation to god knows where. Eventually, my hands roamed all the way to her firm breasts, and again, she tried to stop me to no avail.

"Ngh…"

A long time later, Lin Yixin finally had to pull away to breathe. Her face was completely red as she panted. My hands were still on her wonderful breasts as she asked me, "How can you act like this is a perfectly natural thing to do? And how much longer are you going to touch me…? It feels good, right?"

Blushing, I withdrew my hands and pecked her once on the cheeks. "Sorry, you were just too beautiful. And of course it feels very good. Your figure is absolutely exquisite…"

Lin Yixin smirked cunningly. "So, which one of us has better curves? Me, or Sister He Yi?"

Not realizing the trap, I hopped in. "You’re both absolutely amazing!"

"Bastard! I knew it! You’ve touched Sister He Yi already!" Lin Yixin exclaimed in mock anger and punched me a couple of times. After she calmed down, she glared at me and asked hesitatingly, "You, you two haven’t done it, right…? Hmph!"

I hurriedly nipped her dirty thoughts in the bud. "Wow! Cease your overactive imagination, young lady! Eve and my relationship hasn’t progressed that far."

"Hmph! Like I’d believe you!"

While saying this, Lin Yixin grabbed the pink bra next to her and said, "Turn around. I’m going to change…"

I replied shamelessly, "I wanna see…"

Blushing like an apple, she threatened, "I’ll destroy you!"

I crossed my arms in front of me and declared, "Do it. I’ll die happy if it’s you…"

"Pooh! Have you no shame?"

"What is shame, if not something to throw out the window?"

Seeing that I wasn’t going to change my mind, Lin Yixin had no choice but to give up, sit up and prepare to put on her bra. As promised, I watched her with wide open eyes, and sensing my gaze she ultimately chose to close her own eyes and pretend that I wasn’t there.

I opened my eyes even wider, engraving the sight of my cute, gorgeous girlfriend blushing like autumn’s apple and shivering in embarrassment into permanent memory. What other regrets could I possibly have in my life with a girlfriend like this?

Rustle rustle...

The blanket slid off her person, and after she took off her pyjamas she quickly clipped her bra around her breast. Her movement was quick, but not nearly quick enough to flash me a sight that stunned me so much that I felt like time itself had frozen. How did I ever get the crazy idea that I had already seen everything from porn? There was absolutely no one in my porn stash with curves like Beauty Lin’s. No one...

……

After Lin Yixin put on a pink shirt, she shot me a glance and straightened her hair. "Your saliva’s dripping, idiot…"

Me, still frozen in time: "..."

She burst into a giggle before pecking me once on the lips. After she wiped my mouth with a tissue, she started giggling non-stop like she had found a link to her laugh tank.

"Oh c’mon, stop laughing already…" I was so embarrassed I nearly flew into a rant to protect my dignity.

Lin Yixin tossed the tissue casually to the side before glaring at me. "I knew you wouldn’t be able to control yourself. There’s no way I’m spending another night with you, you shameless fella…"

I retorted as I put on my own clothes, "Excuse me? I had to control myself for the entire night! You think a lesser man could’ve done what I did? You’re the one who’s shameless, Yiyi!"

"No, you! Pooh pooh pooh!"

……

As we argued, we got off the bed and entered the toilet to brush our teeth and whatnot. After we were fully clothed, we got ready to call Chaos Moon to join us for breakfast. As much as I would like to spend more time with Lin Yixin, time’s a wastin’, and we all needed to get back to the grind.

Crack!

When I opened the door though, a girl stumbled right into my embrace. It was Chaos Moon. What the fuck? Has she been listening to us outside the door?

I opened the way and let Chaos Moon into the room. Then, I interrogated her, "What the fuck were you doing? Were you eavesdropping on us?"

Chaos Moon raged, "Do I look like that type of person? Hmph!"

I pressed, "If that’s true, then why did you wake up so early?"

It was at this moment Chaos Moon smirked evilly. "You’re a boy. You’ll never understand what it means to be kept awake all night…"

"What the fuck!" It was like someone had nuked my brain. Lin Yixin was also looking as red as an apple. If she heard this, what else did she hear? Were the walls of this hotel made of fucking paper?

Like Sherlock Holmes, Chaos Moon’s eyes shifted to the tissue on the ground and smiled meaningfully. "Oh my god, you only did it once the whole night?"

Window! I need to open the window and jump out of this building right now!

Lin Yixin turned even redder. She might act like a bonafide gangster when she was with me, but Lin Yixin was really as shy as a blooming flower when interacting with other people. There was absolutely no chance she could trade barbs with an actual gangster, and from the looks of it, she was a hair away from punching Chaos Moon.

It was way too early in the morning to have a catfight, so I immediately grabbed Lin Yixin’s hand before she could make a mistake and said, "Anyway, let’s go get breakfast already. We still have work to do. Oh, Yiyi, tell us some current updates regarding the China server, will you? I’ve been away from Sky City for too long."

She nodded. And so, we went downstairs and out of the hotel to enjoy some authentic northern breakfast.

……

Inside a noodle shop beside the streets.

Lin Yixin said while playing with her chopsticks, "Contrary to popular belief, Tang Long hasn’t yet been isolated. In fact, he even enjoys a good degree of personal freedom. The investigation is currently facing massive difficulties because he wasn’t the only one involved in this scandal. As it turns out, a couple of Civil Service wire-pullers were involved as well. Long story short, this was an act of interest that involved an entire group of people."

I nodded. "I know. It’s our country’s special."

Chaos Moon smiled sardonically at that.

Lin Yixin continued, "The waters of the three main cities are pretty murky as well. Not long ago, over a hundred big or middle-sized guilds banded together to form an alliance called ‘Dragons Run Wild’, and the head of the alliance is none other than the vice leader of Sword Lord of Jianghu, Amber Pupil. There are rumors saying that Amber Pupil is Tang Long’s nephew, and the reason he formed this alliance was to help Tang Long in some way. Anyway, the situation in the China server is growing increasingly complex, and the sheer amount of high officials sticking their hands into this matter greatly stalled the investigation on Tang Long."

I sucked in a deep breath. "I knew it wouldn’t be so simple. I can’t return to the China server until all these major players are dragged from behind the curtains!"
