Magic Power nourished his body, making it even stronger.
Lin Lue felt the beauty of his stats, gradually making him forget the mechanics, like constructing some flashy magic…
But then he thought again, ‘Aren’t strong stats also a kind of mechanic?’
High damage left punch, high damage right punch.
Auto-attacks interspersed with basic attacks—he was so skilled at micro-management.
Three minutes later.
The courtyard fell quiet.
One minute to knock them out, two minutes to move them.
Lin Lue threw the last unconscious woman out the door, fixed the wooden door, and closed it.
Lin Lue let out a long breath of relief.
whoosh!
A black and a white slender figure hung upside down in front of Lin Lue, dangling with arms stretched out and swaying.
The two sisters had woken up.
Luo An’an still maintained that lazy demeanor: “Lin Lue, ahh~ Were you scared?”
Luo Miaomiao was much more lively, her eyes curving into cute crescent moons, her voice light:
“Wow, Lin Lue, you’re amazing! You sent those bad guys away so easily!”
Lin Lue looked at the two hanging upside down with their calves hooked over rough branches, his gaze drifting upward a little.
Lin Lue felt exhausted.
“You two… get down from the tree right now, you’re showing everything!”
“Let Lin Lue see, it’s fine. Consider it a reward for helping us drive away the bad guys.”
Luo An’an yawned, completely unconcerned.
“That’s right, that’s right, no need to be polite.”
Luo Miaomiao chimed in, playfully winking.
“Besides, we’re wearing safety shorts, haha…”
Luo Miaomiao smiled as she looked at her sister, then her smile froze and her laughter abruptly stopped.
Against pale skin, black lace was particularly glaring.
“Wait… Sister, where are your safety shorts?!”
At her younger sister’s shriek, Luo An’an rubbed her ears and cast a crimson-eyed glance at her.
“Calm down, Miaomiao.”
“You don’t have safety shorts either.”
“Sister, what are you saying? I’m wearing… wait, no!”
Luo Miaomiao suddenly felt a coolness between her legs, a sense of liberation…
She bent her flexible body and looked up.
Luo Miaomiao was stunned.
“Wait… where are my safety shorts?”
In her field of vision was her own pure white fabric with white lace and a little bow, not the ugly safety shorts.
Luo Miaomiao instantly blushed bright red, fell down, frantically reached to pull down her skirt, and anxiously pulled Luo An’an down as well, tugging her skirt down too.
“Sister, you tricked me again!”
“Ah! You pull yours down too!”
“Miaomiao is so strange.”
“Sister, you’re the strange one! My underwear was exposed in front of Lin Lue, and so close… wuwu~ So shameless!”
“Hurry up and fix it!”
“Lin Lue is not a stranger.”
Luo An’an said lazily, without energy.
“Besides, he often helps us wash our underwear, he’s already seen it.”
“It’s different.”
Luo Miaomiao shook her head, face red, her beautiful white eyes misty.
“It’s different, Sister. This time… we’re actually wearing them!”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Nothing’s exposed, and besides, you haven’t even grown… mmph mmph!”
“An’an, shut up!!”
Lin Lue: “…”
Lin Lue smiled politely, his eyes a little hollow, feeling exhausted.
‘This was why he treated them like brothers.’
“…”
After the sisters bickered noisily for a while, the three of them went inside.
Lin Lue arranged the food and brought it to the table, and the three sat together.
Lin Lue was alternately fed by the sisters on his left and right, spoonful after spoonful of porridge stuffed into his mouth; he had no time to refuse.
“Those people who came to collect protection money—how did they arrive so coincidentally? It feels like they timed it on purpose.”
Luo Miaomiao smiled as she scooped up a spoonful of porridge and precisely stuffed it into Lin Lue’s mouth, her white sleeve riding up to reveal a snow-white wrist wearing a gold bangle.
She said in a light tone, “It’s just a coincidence, a pure accident.”
Luo An’an on the left also followed up by offering a spoonful of porridge to Lin Lue’s lips, her black sleeve also hiking up to reveal a snow-white wrist with a thin chain wrapped around it and a small gold bell hanging from it.
“That’s right, it was an accident.”
“Here, ahh~”
Lin Lue opened his mouth and swallowed.
Then, he finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Alright, you two, stop always shoving things into my mouth.”
“The food in your bowls is all going to be eaten by me!”
Luo An’an: “Oh.”
Luo An’an stopped what she was doing, tilted her head back slightly, stuck out a small bit of her pink tongue, and pointed at her own mouth with her finger, waiting to be fed.
“Lin Lue, feed me.”
“I fed you, now it’s your turn to feed me.”
“Courtesy calls for reciprocity.”
‘Some reciprocity.’ Lin Lue asked, “What if I don’t feed you?”
“Then I won’t eat.”
Luo An’an dropped the spoon in her hand.
“Just let me go hungry.”
“It’ll break your heart.”
Lin Lue had a lot he wanted to complain about, but in the end, his mouth twitched, and he helplessly picked up the spoon, scooped up some porridge, and fed it to her lips.
Luo An’an opened her mouth and bit it, traces of porridge sticking to her rosy lips.
Luo Miaomiao stared wide-eyed from the side.
Watching Luo An’an drink the porridge by rolling her tongue around the spoon, she felt both embarrassed and anxious, her cheeks flushed red.
“Sister, if you’re drinking porridge, just drink it properly. Don’t roll your tongue around the spoon, it’s too weird!”
Luo An’an: “Mmm mmm!”
Luo Miaomiao: “Sister, pull your tongue back in!”
Lin Lue watched this scene and couldn’t help but laugh.
She was clearly the younger sister, but she acted more like the older sister.
“Alright, alright.”
Lin Lue picked up another spoon and similarly scooped up porridge and stuffed it into Luo Miaomiao’s mouth.
“You eat too.”
Luo Miaomiao blinked.
Lin Lue: “Courtesy calls for reciprocity.”
“…”
After the fresh porridge and dishes were polished off, and the bowls and chopsticks cleaned up, Lin Lue got down to business.
“I want to know, where is the headquarters of the Purity Sect?”
On the sofa, Lin Lue sat between the two sisters.
He felt the position was a bit odd, but also felt it was the only correct one.
Luo An’an leaned against Lin Lue’s left side, tapping her fingers on the table and raising an eyebrow.
“Oh~, in the Upper District. That sect’s headquarters is hidden somewhere in the Upper District.”
“That’s right, that’s right, it’s in the Upper District.”
Luo Miaomiao, sitting on Lin Lue’s right, quickly nodded in agreement.
Lin Lue: “I have one more question. Is there a Ye Family in the Upper District, and did they lose a young lady?”
“There are many Ye families in the Upper District, but if you’re talking about losing a young lady… there is one family, quite influential, and they’ve been going crazy with worry.”
Lin Lue continued pressing: “Are the parents of the lost young lady of the Ye Family still alive?”
“Of course they’re alive, but Lin Lue, you got one thing wrong. It’s not parents, it’s wives.”
Luo Miaomiao looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he asked that question.
Lin Lue’s mouth twitched.
‘Good for you, Ye Beiming, you swore up and down that your parents were dead.’
‘What a filial daughter.’
Lin Lue, sitting on the sofa, silently digested the information he had just received, his thoughts in disarray.
At that moment, a cup of warm black tea was handed to him, the tea aroma rich and refreshing.
He followed the hand holding the teacup and looked—it was Luo An’an, her crimson eyes calmly staring at him.
He subconsciously tried to take it.
Luo An’an dodged.
Lin Lue thought for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip just like that; the taste was exceptionally smooth.
Luo An’an fed Lin Lue until he finished, then put down the teacup and glanced at the faint lip mark left on the rim.
“So, is there anything else you want to ask?”
“Not for now.”
Lin Lue smiled.
“You’ve been a huge help. What reward do you want? Just say it.”
“Between us, what reward? That’s too distant.”
Luo An’an waved her hand, looking unconcerned.
“That’s right, that’s right. Every time you come and cook us a hot meal, help us wash clothes and clean up, that’s enough.”
Luo Miaomiao said with a grin, showing a mouthful of clean teeth, her cheek pressed against Lin Lue’s shoulder.
“We can’t take care of ourselves at all, so Lin Lue, you need to take even better care of us from now on!”
Lin Lue felt a subtle feeling in his heart.
‘Saying you’re helpless in daily life with such confidence?’
