By the time Bai Yue Ling and Ming Die descended from the second floor, they saw Ying Ye and Luo Luo Yue locked in a struggle.
“Then next time, I’m going to snatch Xiao Bai away right in front of your face!”
“You dare?!”
“If you don’t want to use it, give my secret medicine back!”
“Dream on. Since when is there a precedent for returning something that has already been gifted?”
Neither of them used weapons, relying only on fists and kicks to strike at each other, as if they were moments away from tearing through the edge of the universe and grinding the very laws of the world to dust.
Although Ying Ye was a higher level, she eventually fell into a disadvantage. Because Luo Luo Yue belonged to the type who had nothing to lose and could attack Ying Ye without any inhibitions. Conversely, Ying Ye had to constantly protect her delicate ninja outfit, and after nine rounds, she gradually found herself unable to keep up.
Ming Die glanced at Bai Yue Ling. “The members of our White Night Fortress are having a civil war. Aren’t you going to go and break them up?”
“Huh? Why would I do that?” Bai Yue Ling crossed her arms, looking like she was enjoying the show. “As an uncle, I love watching women fight. Fighting is so refreshing!”
Ming Die turned and left, intending to lie down on her bone chair for a while, but was surprised to find Mo Yuan already hugging the chair, having gnawed away more than half of the bones on it.
“Do as you like. You’re the leader anyway, so it’s your call.”
Mo Yuan crunched through the hard bones like they were crackers, let out a satisfied burp, and asked, “Can you summon more bones? Crunch, crunch… Miss Ming Die, this little bit of bone isn’t enough to eat.”
Ming Die remained silent for a moment, then smiled. “I’ll let you eat until you burst.”
On the other side, the battle finally ended with Luo Luo Yue’s victory. Although she didn’t get back the secret medicine, Ying Ye was already lying on the ground, unable to fight back.
“Yay, I’m the winner!” Luo Luo Yue excitedly raised her hands in a victory pose.
Ying Ye, pinned underneath, looked completely defeated. “Get up already… hey…”
Watching the battle from the sidelines, Bai Yue Ling revealed a satisfied smile. “Hey… I got to see a truly precious battle scene. Seeing older sisters fighting each other is the best. Xiao Bai loves watching this.”
Ying Ye stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked toward her. “Nothing happened with Ming Die upstairs, right? Xiao Bai… you seem to be having a lot of fun watching.”
“Nothing at all!”
“Really?” Ying Ye widened her eyes, staring straight at her with a chilling gaze. “After all, Ming Die is your favorite ‘big vehicle,’ isn’t she?”
Bai Yue Ling broke into a cold sweat instantly, explaining, “Actually, she is not my favorite.”
“Then what is?”
“As long as she is a beautiful girl, I like her. There is no ‘favorite’.”
“Is that so?” Ying Ye asked with a cheerful smile. “Then, if Ming Die and I both invited you to chat privately at the same time, who would you choose to talk to first?”
This is a death trap…
Bai Yue Ling shrank her neck. “Can’t we all just talk together?”
“That… is not possible.”
Bai Yue Ling thought for a long time, racking her brains, and finally said earnestly, “If I absolutely have to pick one, I choose Ming Die.”
Ying Ye’s smile remained unchanged as she continued to ask, “Why?”
Bai Yue Ling said calmly, “Because Ming Die is an NPC, and she can give me quests!”
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t I pick the one who asked the question? This little devil is definitely trying to provoke my hostility…
Ying Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and maintained her smile. “Then what is something that Ming Die lacks, but I possess?”
“Ah, this…” Bai Yue Ling fell into another round of contemplation, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, until inspiration struck. “That’s it! Ying Ye’s ‘finger technique’ is the best!”
After all, she was someone who toyed with the palms of others, so how could her technique be bad? Besides, she had awakened her past life’s memories and knew Bai Yue Ling like the back of her hand.
Ying Ye said in a low voice, “I had intended to coat you from head to toe with this potion if you couldn’t answer that.”
Then, she pulled the succubus secret medicine out of her bag, along with a thousand-year-old engagement ring… no, wait, it was a ring of the dead.
“Well, I suppose that barely counts as passing.”
Bai Yue Ling felt her scalp tingle. “That is definitely not something to be coating anyone with—”
Returning to the White Night Fortress this time, Bai Yue Ling retrieved the Ring of the Dead she had left with Ming Die. Then, she successfully defeated the gluttonous dragon girl imprisoned on the third floor, adding a new worker to the White Night Fortress… no, wait, an older sister. It was a truly gratifying harvest.
Now, it was time for Bai Yue Ling to leave.
She and Ying Ye stepped into the teleportation array, preparing to return to the Royal Capital.
Before leaving, Ming Die did not forget to instruct, “Remember to recruit more newcomers for our White Night Fortress.”
Bai Yue Ling nodded to show she understood, and with a flash of white light, the two returned to the Royal Capital, landing in Bai Yue Ling’s courtyard.
As soon as they landed, Ying Ye said, expressionless, “This is your house, right?”
Bai Yue Ling blinked. “What’s wrong?”
“Share your resurrection point settings with me. From now on, I’ll log in and out here.” Ying Ye’s tone left no room for refusal.
“Huh? But this is my house, you can’t go to the princess next door—”
“Wife.” Ying Ye suddenly interrupted her, her soft voice sounding as if she were whispering in her ear. “Is it really necessary for us to be so separated?”
The sudden use of “wife” disrupted Bai Yue Ling’s rhythm.
“Ah, this…”
For a moment, she forgot how to argue back.
Forget it, it’s just a house in the Fate World, not a house in reality. Sharing it with Ying Ye shouldn’t be a big deal.
After sharing the resurrection point, Ying Ye nodded in satisfaction. “Then I’ll log off to eat first. Shall we meet up to level up in an hour?”
“Oh, sure.”
Receiving a positive reply, Ying Ye turned into white light and logged off with peace of mind.
Bai Yue Ling let out a sigh of relief, then pounded the ground and wailed:
“Oh my… why does it feel like Ying Ye is becoming more and more of a yandere!”
How terrifying is it to have a yandere older sister who stalks you in the shadows all day long?
Bai Yue Ling was terrified that one day, while she was flirting with another older sister, she would suddenly be sliced up by Ying Ye.
“No, no, leveling up is impossible. It will never be possible to level up in this lifetime!”
“While Ying Ye is offline, I should slip away!”
“Where should I hide? Maybe I should go to the Fairy’s House. It’s been a long time. There won’t be an older sister plotting against me every second, only gentle and considerate little fairies. Heh, how wonderful.”
Bai Yue Ling pushed open the courtyard gate to leave, only to see a familiar face waiting for her.
“Xiao Bai, where are you thinking of going?”
Wei Ji leaned against the door frame, wearing a white dress that made her look pure and cute. It swayed gently in the evening breeze, revealing her fair, slender calves beneath the hem.
She extended her right hand politely and smiled. “Can you accompany this princess for the night?”
Dozens of Shadow-Wei Knights stood around Wei Ji, silently surrounding her, leaving her with nowhere to go.
Oh no…
Bai Yue Ling swallowed hard and asked tremblingly, “Can I refuse?”
“Do you have the heart to?” Wei Ji blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly as she said pitifully, “Did you forget that Miss Ming Die instructed you to maintain my vitality every day?”
“Gulp…”
“If you don’t keep me company, without vitality, I might die.”
“That’s true.” Bai Yue Ling couldn’t find a way to refute that.
Although if she didn’t go, Wei Ji might die, but if she did go… Bai Yue Ling might die too!
After thinking it over, the self-sacrificing Bai Yue Ling gritted her teeth.
“Let’s go then!”
Brave Xiao Bai, fearless of difficulties!
An hour later, Ying Ye, who had logged back in, stared at the empty courtyard. Her ninja skirt fluttered in the breeze, looking somewhat desolate.
She sighed softly, “Next time, I won’t log off so easily.”
