"Qingxue, you're amazing! That slap just now was so cool!" Lin Wanning exclaimed excitedly.
Hu Yuying covered her mouth with a light chuckle, gently taking Qingxue's hand and wiping her palm with a wet tissue. "Consider it revenge for how Ye Liangchen made you cry last time."
Li Qingxue had initially acted on impulse, but now, basking in her sisters' praise, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Tilting her delicate nose up proudly, she declared, "Of course! If they think they can bully Long Aotian, they’ll have to get through us first!"
"I really didn’t expect them to have the nerve to come looking for trouble..."
Long Aotian sighed. "They seem trapped in their own world. People like that are inherently stubborn—they never believe they’re in the wrong."
"There’s no reasoning with people like that."
"Let’s shake it off. We shouldn’t let someone like that ruin our mood."
Hearing this, Lin Wanning sidled up to Li Qingxue with a bright smile, mentioning that a room at home had just been renovated and was ready for her to move into tonight.
"Really?" Qingxue blurted out before catching herself, realizing she might have sounded too eager.
She quickly lowered her voice and whispered, "Really?"
Seeing her excitement, Lin Wanning playfully tapped her forehead. "Don’t believe me? Ask Yuying-jie. We even stopped by to check it out before we left."
Li Qingxue turned to Hu Yuying, who nodded with an amused smile. "Better say something nice to me—I’m the one in charge at home."
Exchanging a glance with Lin Wanning, Li Qingxue reached out mischievously toward Hu Yuying.
"Ah-ah, none of that. I’m your sister," Hu Yuying said sternly, though her eyes sparkled with amusement. "You both have to listen to me, understand?"
"I can sing for you and give you a massage!" Lin Wanning cooed, batting her eyelashes.
Li Qingxue racked her brain, trying to think of something she could offer.
"I can help you deal with Long Aotian if he misbehaves!"
Her answer sent Hu Yuying and Lin Wanning into fits of laughter.
The cheerful banter among the three always managed to dispel any lingering negativity.
The little incident caused by Ye Liangchen was quickly forgotten, nothing more than a fleeting distraction.
Long Aotian, ever the dutiful pack mule, trailed behind the trio, carrying their bags.
After ordering a large bed and a matching set of bedding, they were already brainstorming how to decorate the room.
Watching them, Long Aotian couldn’t help but smile.
He gently took Hu Yuying’s hand.
She turned to him, pressing a finger against his forehead. "Even though I’ve agreed to let Qingxue and Wanning stay with us, you’d better behave—no funny business without my permission."
"Do you really think so little of me?"
"You’re the worst, Long-ge, always going after what’s right in front of you," Hu Yuying huffed. "Not one of us escaped your clutches—you’ve thoroughly ‘corrupted’ all three of us."
"With Wanning, you said you were passive, and I believed you. But what about Qingxue? How do you explain that?"
"You claimed you went into the wrong room, but why didn’t you leave as soon as you realized it was her?"
Long Aotian faltered, unable to respond.
Seeing his flustered expression, Hu Yuying giggled softly. "Admit it—you’ve had your eye on all three of us from the start, haven’t you?"
"Why did you have to be so good to us, making us fall for you one by one...?"
"You must be thrilled right now, aren’t you?"
"And don’t you dare lie—tell me the truth!"
Long Aotian scratched his head, grinning sheepishly. In front of Hu Yuying, he couldn’t help but be completely honest. "Just... a little."
"Just a little?"
"Okay, okay—I’m happy!"
"Tch!" Hu Yuying crossed her arms and turned away. "Well, you’d better keep making me happy, or else—no ‘fun’ for you!"
"I’ll do my best," Long Aotian murmured, leaning close to her ear. "I’ll make sure my little princess is pampered perfectly."
Hu Yuying’s face flushed. "Shameless! Don’t even think about touching me tonight!"
"I’m sleeping with Qingxue and Wanning."
"Absolutely not!" There were some things Long Aotian couldn’t compromise on.
"Why not?" Hu Yuying teased, curious how he’d answer.
"Because the place you hold in my heart... even I envy it."
"Ridiculous." Though secretly pleased, she’d never admit it out loud.
"Yuying-jie, look—aren’t these cute?" Li Qingxue held up three small plush toys in different colors.
"Enough of that. Behave yourself at home from now on," Hu Yuying said, leaving Long Aotian’s side to join the other two in picking out toys.
"Jie, what were you and Long-ge talking about earlier? He looked like a grinning idiot," Lin Wanning whispered. Li Qingxue perked up, equally curious.
"You really want to know?" Hu Yuying teased.
"Yes! Tell us!"
"Hmm... maybe I won’t."
"Come on! We’ll give you a massage tonight!"
Li Qingxue nodded eagerly. "Yeah! Both of us!"
Pretending to consider it, Hu Yuying finally relented. "Fine."
"I asked Long-ge if he was happy about the two of you moving in."
Recalling Long Aotian’s earlier grin, Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning stifled laughter at how unguarded he’d been.
Hu Yuying continued, "But I also told him that even with you two here, he’d better not try anything."
"Long Aotian is completely under your thumb now," Li Qingxue remarked, glancing at him. "The big boss has become the little errand boy..."
After some more shopping, Long Aotian got a call from the furniture delivery team. He loaded their purchases into the car and headed home ahead of them.
The trio stayed behind to pick up a few more things.
Back at the courtyard house, Long Aotian helped the deliverymen set up the bed and nightstands. Before long, the three returned, arms full of smaller items.
Entering the room, they eagerly got to work decorating.
"I’ll go buy groceries," Long Aotian offered, seeing them busy with the room.
"Don’t bother—you wouldn’t know what to get. We’ll go together later."
"Then what should I do?"
Hu Yuying didn’t even look up as she replied, "If you really have nothing to do, go wash the pot."
"Alright, I’ll go wash the pot."
Watching the three of them busy themselves, Long Aotian found even scrubbing the pot with renewed energy...
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
