Then, Lin Xue’er’s faint stare scared her into silence like a quail.
A few seconds later, Ye Beiming, with sparkling teardrops at the corners of her eyes, scurried behind Lin Lue to hide.
‘Terrifying!’
“I… I protest!”
“Protest denied. The only reason you’re not lying outside the door is out of respect for my brother.”
“If you don’t want to keep your dignity, I can help you lose it.”
Lin Xue’er casually tossed out the words.
Ye Beiming was both angry and amused, but she simply couldn’t beat Lin Xue’er in a fight.
‘Picking on me… she really knows how to target the weak.’
Ye Beiming fumed for a moment, but that was all.
Lin Lue said nothing.
After all, if he so much as poked his head out, his little sister would launch a smooth combo of attacks and bombard him with firepower.
So, all he could do was let Ye Beiming bear the burden.
—
The only bed remained untouched.
Ye Beiming naturally didn’t dare to touch it either.
She had a feeling that if she did, Lin Xue’er would wake up instantly, like a ghost, and elbow her.
Besides, Lin Lue’s blankets were warm and cozy; the cold, stiff bed was beneath her highness’s standards.
She eagerly slipped into Lin Lue’s bedding, and since Lin Lue didn’t explicitly stop her, that meant what?
Tacit approval.
Ye Beiming grew bolder, her little paws starting to wander, exploring the man’s body.
‘Are all men’s waists this firm?’
Then, Lin Lue caught her little paw and pulled it out.
After all, those little paws had already touched his belt.
If he didn’t warn her now, she might end up “snacking” later.
Though unlikely, but what if?
Ye Beiming struggled for a moment before giving up.
Lin Lue seemed to have a nighttime buff now, making him much stronger; she couldn’t break free.
Feeling disgruntled, she pressed one of her calves onto Lin Lue’s stomach as a small act of rebellion.
Then, she obediently closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of Lin Lue’s body.
In a sense, Lin Lue was in a situation where he had a girl on each side.
But he felt like he could get electrocuted at any moment.
Looking at their youthful faces, a hint of guilt crept into Lin Lue’s heart, but then he thought about how he was morally bankrupt, and he let it go.
Of course, he made a secret resolve in his heart:
‘I really need to get Lightning Affinity as soon as possible, become a Lightning Witch. Even if I get shocked like crazy, I can still scream at the top of my lungs!’
POWER!
Lightning = POWER!
Lolis = Lightning!
So, give me more lolis!
With these random thoughts, Lin Lue gradually closed his eyes.
Having destroyed a Pure Church stronghold, he felt he could have a good dream tonight.
Ten minutes later.
Lin Xue’er quietly opened one eye and glanced at Ye Beiming, who was clinging tightly to Lin Lue’s other arm.
She pursed her pink lips without making a sound, just held Lin Lue’s hand even tighter.
Lin Xue’er thought she’d be generous tonight, tolerating this little girl sneaking into her brother’s bedding.
But!
First thing tomorrow morning, she’d kick this outsider girl out of my and my brother’s home!
—
At the same time, at the destroyed Pure Church stronghold, now reduced to rubble.
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind howled.
A group of robed followers stood silently, their figures straight, their faces unclear, their auras… cold and violent.
After all, the stronghold they had painstakingly built over the years had been razed to the ground.
Now that they had caused such a commotion, both the upper and lower cities were on high alert.
Building new strongholds was difficult, so losing one was a big deal.
Not to mention, this was the very first stronghold they had ever built.
Back when the Pure Church was just starting out, they had taken every step with caution.
It held their memories, their joys, and their sorrows…
It was like a first love—a pure, white moonlight—hypnotized by Uncle Neighbor.
They were like a helpless husband returning home, only to see his defiled wife in the entranceway…
Pain!
Too much pain!!!
‘Damn it, who did this?!’
So, they used their methods, even paying a heavy price.
Blood began to flow from their noses and mouths, but they didn’t stop.
The void trembled, and a pale blue light screen materialized out of thin air.
The images flickered.
They felt resistance, but how could that stop their thirst for revenge?!
Soon, the image froze on a clear figure.
It was Lin Lue.
Standing beside him was another figure, but it was completely obscured by thick mosaics, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
Only a faint outline of a woman could be discerned.
From her stance alone, one could tell she was terrifyingly powerful.
Soon, everything shattered, as if it had never appeared.
They all coughed up blood and wiped it away in unison.
Give up revenge?
Impossible!
They couldn’t afford to provoke the strong, so they could only target the weak.
They channeled all their fury and hatred onto Lin Lue!
Lin Lue: Trouble!
“Three minutes! I want every piece of information about that man!”
“I will toy with him until he dies!”
“Chief, three minutes is impossible!”
—
Lin Lue: Ah-choo!
In his sleep, Lin Lue frowned, suddenly feeling a lack of security.
Instinctively… he pulled the two little girls into his arms.
—
In the dead of night, all was silent.
The small, cramped rental was filled with only the sound of even breathing.
Deep in sleep, Ye Beiming furrowed her brow.
The more she slept, the more a feeling of panic set in.
Cranky from being woken up, she groggily opened her eyes, ready to yell and curse, demanding which worthless nobody was ruining her sleep quality…
But what she saw made her breath catch.
She was awake in an instant.
Countless pale, flawless hands, filled with an eerie beauty, filled her vision, grasping at the air as if they could tear her fragile body apart at any moment.
From a whole Ye Beiming to Ye Beiming pieces.
Ye Beiming gulped.
This was far more intense than any nightmare she had ever had.
Lin Xue’er stood beside her, looking down at her.
Her snow-white hair fell, the ends of the strands brushing against Ye Beiming’s cheek.
Those pink pupils now flickered with an eerie, blood-red light.
Her face was completely expressionless, and her gaze at Ye Beiming was like that of a predator sizing up its prey.
Behind her, even more hands appeared, blooming like a flower.
Ye Beiming was so terrified she couldn’t even scream.
It felt like a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat.
She shivered twice, then her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.
Lin Xue’er looked down at the unconscious Ye Beiming and gave a light snort.
‘A cowardly girl, and you think you can compete with me for my brother?’
Lin Xue’er closed her eyes, growing more and more displeased.
If Ye Beiming was comfortable, she wasn’t.
After scaring Ye Beiming, she turned to look at Lin Lue, who was sleeping soundly beside her.
The coldness in her expression faded, replaced by a touch of softness.
She knelt up, her round bottom resting on her heels.
She slowly leaned in, pressing her warm cheek against Lin Lue’s, gently nuzzling him like a young animal.
Lin Xue’er was asserting her possessiveness.
She looked at Ye Beiming, a strange glint of pleasure appearing in her eyes as she marked her territory.
As she nuzzled, looking at Lin Lue’s flushed cheek, she quickly planted a peck on it.
Satisfied that her scent was firmly left on Lin Lue’s face, Lin Xue’er stood up, content.
She walked slowly to the window, bathed in the cold moonlight, tilted her head up, and looked at the silver glow outside.
She parted her small lips.
The silver glow flowed, slipping into her little mouth.
At that moment, she was feeding on the moonlight, drawing power from it.
Behind her, those pale hands gradually became more complete, forming blurry, indistinct figures that vaguely overlapped with Ye Beiming’s form.
Some tilted their heads, some knelt on the ground, some crawled in the shadows…
There were all kinds of poses, twisted and abstract.
Gradually, they surrounded Lin Lue, like countless devout worshippers kneeling before their god.
Then, their greed grew more intense.
They reached out, wanting to touch, to lick, to kiss, to eat…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A small, pale white foot stamped down, crushing the arms inch by inch.
Lin Xueer’s face was expressionless.
She looked back at Lin Lue, immediately knelt down, and murmured, her head lowered.
“Brother, wait a little longer. Xue’er is about to break through to Second-Level Mage. Then she’ll go fight in the underground ring to earn money for you.”
So, Lin Xue’er wondered, could he grant her one selfish request?
Please don’t get too close to any other girls besides her.
But Lin Xue’er knew that this was a very demanding request, so she didn’t say it out loud.
She silently watched Lin Lue.
The bright moon outside the window was slowly descending.
