Esser Continent, logging off.
...
"Haa—" Upon returning from the Esser Continent, Ye Chuan let out a yawn and cracked his neck. There hadn't been much to do in the Esser Continent over the past few days, so once evening arrived, he decided to just head back.
After lying in bed for a while, Ye Chuan sat up, pushed open his door, and walked out.
"Yo, young man." Lan Xiaoke was a regular fixture in the living room; after all, the living room TV had the biggest screen, so she had hooked her game console directly up to it.
Ye Chuan glanced at Lan Xiaoke. She was currently hugging a bolster pillow, lying prone on the sofa with a controller in hand, looking lazy and comfortable.
"Smack." Ye Chuan swatted Lan Xiaoke's bottom. "Scoot over."
"Oh." Lan Xiaoke rolled over, making room for Ye Chuan.
Once Ye Chuan sat down, Lan Xiaoke rolled back, eventually resting her head on his lap. She squinted her eyes adorably. "Hehehe—"
"You sure are comfortable."
"Right? Right?" Lan Xiaoke was thoroughly satisfied with her life.
Every day she woke up just to eat, drink, and play. Plus, she was cultivating immortality; her cultivation base increased even while lying down without doing anything. Even if she occasionally wanted some amusement, all she had to do was sit in Ye Chuan's lap.
That was the life of a pet.
Ye Chuan pinched Lan Xiaoke's baby-fat cheeks, and she cooperatively nuzzled his fingers with her face.
He then squeezed Lan Xiaoke's chest, and she cooperatively pressed against him. "Hehe, is it heavy?"
"It's alright, just a handful," Ye Chuan said casually. While pinching her little nose, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the room behind the sofa.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chuan looked back to see Bai Qianshuang's door open. A black-haired girl in a Daoist robe walked out slowly. Her voice was cool and clear upon seeing Ye Chuan and Lan Xiaoke.
"I'm back."
"Welcome home," Ye Chuan smiled. "How was Tianxuan today?"
"...There are still many things to attend to, but fortunately... I can come back here," Bai Qianshuang said softly. She then changed her Daoist robe into home loungewear.
Although she called it sleepwear, it was actually one of Ye Chuan's short-sleeved shirts. On Bai Qianshuang, it looked like a dress that barely covered her hips.
Bai Qianshuang sat down expressionlessly next to Ye Chuan. Then, mimicking Lan Xiaoke, she simply laid down, resting her head on Ye Chuan's other thigh.
"Dead tired..."
After saying that, Bai Qianshuang didn't forget to grab one of Ye Chuan's hands to hug, closing her eyes to recharge.
Ye Chuan looked down to find two little ones each occupying a thigh.
One cool black-haired girl, one silly white-haired girl.
"It seems being a Sect Master is indeed hard work." Ye Chuan pinched Bai Qianshuang's cheek—Qianshuang's face was thinner and more delicate, not as easy to pinch as Lan Xiaoke's baby fat.
"So tired," Lan Xiaoke said, imitating Bai Qianshuang.
"What are you tired from?" Ye Chuan asked.
"Playing games is tiring too," Lan Xiaoke said seriously. "You have to grind!"
"I really should throw you into the Yuxu Sect to do some work." Ye Chuan shook his head at Lan Xiaoke's serious expression.
However, he didn't have a Tenant Companion Card right now, otherwise, he really could stuff Lan Xiaoke in there.
"Ye Chuan, hug—" Bai Qianshuang suddenly sat up and hugged Ye Chuan directly, burying her face in his shoulder.
"Heave-ho, me too!" Lan Xiaoke hugged Ye Chuan's stomach.
Ye Chuan: "..."
He felt like he was being hugged by two cute koalas.
It took a full ten minutes or so before Bai Qianshuang and Lan Xiaoke let go.
"Where is Luo Xi?" Bai Qianshuang looked around but didn't see Luo Xi.
"Luo Xi said we're having hot pot tonight, so she went to buy ingredients," Lan Xiaoke said.
"Want to eat," Bai Qianshuang said softly.
Just then, there was a noise from the entryway nearby. The door opened to reveal two figures.
"Ta-da! I'm back~" Luo Xi's energetic voice drifted over. Ye Chuan and the others turned to look and found Luo Xi carrying a bag of groceries, flanked by Wang Yanran and Ye Yue.
"You three?" Seeing this rare trio surprised Ye Chuan a bit.
Could these three actually mix?
"I saw Miss Luo buying ingredients when I came back, so I tagged along," Wang Yanran explained.
"Oh my, I told you to just call me Xixi," Luo Xi said with a beaming smile.
"I wanted to help tonight too, let Brother taste my cooking," Ye Yue said, obediently carrying ingredients by her side.
"Oh, Qianshuang, you're back. How was it? Was it busy over there?"
Bai Qianshuang walked over to help with the groceries, and Luo Xi asked curiously.
"A little, but it doesn't matter... I'm happy," Bai Qianshuang shook her head and said. After all, her great revenge had been exacted, and she could rebuild her sect. For Bai Qianshuang, this counted as resolving her inner demons.
"What do you call this?" Luo Xi held up a finger. "Ah, right. This is called a sense of fulfillment, right?"
"Fulfillment... yes." Bai Qianshuang nodded.
Busy with the sect during the day, and able to return here to be with everyone at night—for Bai Qianshuang, nothing was more exciting than this.
"What did you buy?" Lan Xiaoke leaned in, concerned first and foremost with dinner.
"Chicken, fatty beef, mushrooms, salmon~"
"Yay."
Several of them immediately started prepping ingredients in the kitchen. Since it was hot pot, no special preparation was needed other than using the chicken to make a soup base.
"Do you want it spicy?"
"Yes."
Ye Chuan sat on the sofa watching Luo Xi and the others busy at work. Occasionally, the sound of the girls giggling drifted over, causing him to smile faintly.
This feeling was actually quite nice; the home was lively.
Previously, it was just him in this house, occasionally adding Luo Xi?
Before he knew it, there were so many people.
This feeling wasn't bad.
"..." While Ye Chuan was watching, Luo Xi poked her head out from the kitchen. "Chuan-chuan~ Go call Lilith and the others out. It's almost ready."
"Okay."
Ye Chuan acknowledged and went to call Lilith and Ke Ning.
However, Lilith wasn't home, and he didn't know where she went.
Ye Chuan sent a message to Lilith on his phone and eventually learned she had things to do. As for what things, if Lilith didn't want to say, Ye Chuan wouldn't get an answer even if he pressed.
As for Ke Ning, she walked out swaying unsteadily. The dark circles under her eyes were fast becoming her trademark physical feature.
"Good evening, everyone," Ke Ning said.
"Beep beep." The floating Assistant Magic Cube V2 beside her also made a sound.
In any case, let's eat first.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
