CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 383: AREN’T GOOD BROTHERS MEANT TO BE SOLD?

"Hey hey, when are you taking me to that Secret Realm?"

Liu Rouxin was hanging upside down from a large tree, looking bored as she watched the two siblings playing chess beneath the tree.

It had been two days since coming out of the Blood Demon space, and with Liu Rouxin’s restless nature, she would normally be back at the Blood Control Sect bullying and having fun.

However, recently the disciples of the Blood Control Sect found that their notorious bully hadn’t come to bother them. Instead, she was visiting the Chief of the Taoist Sect every day, leading others to suspect something was going on between the two.

Gamers are useless at almost everything, but they are champions at digging up gossip.

As soon as the local disciples began discussing this matter, the savvy gamers sensed something deeper and set aside their quests momentarily, dredging up past relationship gossips that had gone unnoticed before.

Like: "To win the Chief’s favor, the second true inheritor Ling Ye daringly entered the Infinite Secret Realm to slay a Sixth Realm peak serpent and collect the precious Luili Fuxing Flower as a gift to the Chief. Unfortunately, the Chief ended up sticking it in cow dung after hearing the folk saying ’flowers in cow dung.’ He wanted to test it out."

And, "Brother Ling Ye, always so aloof and cool-looking. He actually once guarded the place where the Chief was in seclusion, just to casually say ’what a coincidence’ when the Chief emerged, trying to strike up a conversation."

Even more outrageous, "During the Chief’s first venture out for experience, Brother Ling Ye secretly acted as a masked protector to guard the Chief against any dangers. He later realized Liu Rouxin could handle it alone as she speared all those who troubled her, leaving Ling Ye with no choice but to sadly return to the sect. He thought no one knew about it, but actually, everyone did."

All these secrets were bought with a hefty sum by a wealthy gamer from a friend of Ling Ye with the last name Zhao.

Mr. Zhao urged the gamer not to spread it randomly. The gamer solemnly swore on his life he wouldn’t tell anyone else, yet he posted everything on the forum and made it accessible to all gamers.

Ling Ye, still in seclusion and cultivating, had no idea that his legendary unrequited love story had not only spread within the Blood Control Sect but was also now advancing across the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent.

Liang Yi, always keeping an eye on the players’ activities, naturally saw this post immediately, and was relishing the juicy details — even feeling like one was not enough.

"Senior Brother, it’s your turn to move." Watching somewhat distracted Liang Yi, Su Youyi called out discontentedly.

"Oh oh, it’s my turn?" Liang Yi closed the forum and focused on the chessboard in front of him.

To describe Liang Yi’s chess skill, only one phrase fits, "hopelessly bad."

Liang Yi indeed had no talent for chess; his interest was only piqued when he saw a chessboard under this tree, deciding to challenge his junior sister.

He quickly noticed that his junior sister was letting him win, in a way more lenient than the vast Pacific Ocean.

Unfortunately, even her lenience couldn’t fill the abyssal pit of Liang Yi’s incompetence, and the game was irrevocably showing his losing hand.

Unless Su Youyi deliberately conceded, there was no way for Liang Yi to turn the game around.

"Jeez, even I can’t stand watching anymore, meow." Grandpa Orange neatly squatted by the chessboard, watching how Liang Yi could still lose despite the other side throwing the game.

When Su Youyi finally hesitated and found nowhere else to throw the game, she dropped her piece in resignation after a while and Grandpa Orange raised a paw at Liang Yi and said,

"Damn, that’s something!"

Su Youyi’s expression turned a bit awkward. Was this another sort of unique talent for her senior brother?

"Sigh, typical moves, don’t even try!" Liang Yi modestly waved his hand, signaling Grandpa Orange to keep it down.

"You think I’m praising you, meow?" Grandpa Orange couldn’t stand Liang Yi’s thick-skinned behavior and suddenly leaped onto Liang Yi’s face.

"You this cat, why do you scratch at the slightest provocation? Get down!"

Liang Yi was immediately knocked backward by Grandpa Orange’s impact, and his vision went dark.

"Since you’re shameless anyway, let Grandpa here block it for you, meow." Grandpa Orange had been annoyed by Liang Yi’s face for a long time, thinking if he were reincarnated looking like this, would he ever worry about not having a mate? Pfft, a partner?

I’m so pissed off!

Liang Yi finally managed to pull Mr. Orange off his head, and now his handsome face bears four scratch marks.

"Ha ha." Watching the scuffle between the man and the cat and seeing her senior brother’s embarrassing state, Su Youyi couldn’t help but laugh joyfully on the side.

This close-knit feeling is what she yearned for the most in life; if given the choice, she would rather join her senior brother in secluded cultivation in the deep mountains. If they ever felt like going out, with their capabilities, they could travel anywhere in the world and witness the splendor inaccessible to ordinary people.

All this would be perfect if only her senior brother was with her, just like when they were kids depending on each other.

Seeing Su Youyi laughing by the side, Liang Yi couldn’t help but laugh as well, and casually threw the annoying Mr. Orange onto a tree.

"Your grandpa Liang Yi!" Following the law that a cat never lands on its back, Mr. Orange gracefully flipped in mid-air and perfectly landed on a thick tree branch.

This damn thing suddenly throws me aside when the mood strikes; what a jerk...

"What are you looking at, meow?" Mr. Orange suddenly realized someone was nearby, looked up, and there she was, Liu Rouxin, practicing her upside-down hanging.

"What’s it to you if I look?" Liu Rouxin retorted, having already found the silly cat annoying.

"Hey, you’re a girl, why hang around in a tree for no reason?" Mr. Orange glanced down; the atmosphere between the brother and sister was really heating up, so he might as well chat with this flat-chested loli.

"I’ll hang however I want; who are you to interfere?" Liu Rouxin’s beautiful eyes widened, she had already figured it out, but Mr. Orange’s words provoked her again.

"Do you think I want to bother with so much? Can’t you just look over there?" Mr. Orange leaned against the tree trunk, somewhat annoyed, and pointed his paw towards some bushes not too far away.

"Huh?" Liu Rouxin looked doubtful and suddenly noticed that some people seemed to be hiding in the distant bushes, apparently disciples from Blood Control Sect.

"What are they hiding there for?"

"To look at your legs, what else!" Mr. Orange clearly understood that these abnormal people were probably here to watch the excitement, or maybe to see Su Youyi.

As for Liu Rouxin, they might just take a few glances incidentally, but Mr. Orange just misled her.

Liu Rouxin sat up in a flash, her pretty face flushing with both shyness and anger as she glared at the bushes. Although she dressed conservatively, and hanging upside-down wouldn’t reveal anything, her legs were undeniably exposed.

Originally, the players were just coming to see if there was any major news to dig up, or if they could trigger some quests. If all else failed, taking a few more lovey-dovey photos of Su Youyi and Liang Yi would also do.

But why did their gaze unconsciously shift to those legs?

It’s not that our army lacks determination; it’s just that the legs are too fair.

I must say, Liu Rouxin is quite exquisite, though a bit too young-looking. But the players had already dug out the truth; this loli Chief was already of age, it’s just her constitution that makes her look like she never ages.

That definitely hit a sweet spot for some players; if not for the huge status gap and the rare chance of seeing Liu Rouxin, they would certainly try every possible way to curry favor.

The players in the bushes were capturing good shots when suddenly, a chill ran down their spines, and Liu Rouxin disappeared from their cameras, followed by a terrifying aura of murder.

"You guys? Playing hide and seek here?" Liu Rouxin’s chilling voice came through, making several players shiver instantly.

"Ha ha... Chief... we were just... just strolling around..." A player chuckled nervously, squeezing out a dry excuse.

"Right, right, just strolling around."

Other players hurriedly chimed in.

But what greeted them was a spear taller than Liu Rouxin herself!
