Chapter 138

Chapter 9: I’ll Show You Whose Sister!

　　Yuan Xiaoling was shocked as Bai Ling turned over to sleep, ignoring her completely.

　　Wait, how come she’s being rebellious now?

　　Wanted to pinch the little white bunny but too far away, so she decided to pinch herself instead.

　　Hmm~ there’s a feeling, not dreaming.

　　”What’s wrong with you?”

　　Bai Ling didn’t respond, even though Lili’s voice was full of concern.

　　Though her heart had a kitty stomping around, getting itchier by the second, the willpower of a Fifth-tier Mental-type can overcome all credibility.

　　Joking, just because you want it doesn’t mean you get it. She just wanted to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow to do morning exercises.

　　Time doesn’t matter, who decides the time does.

　　This was Bai Ling’s first step in breaking free from the “overly controlled wife” stereotype.

　　”Alright then.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling didn’t know what was going on, so she gave up and lay down to prepare for sleeping. But at that moment, there was a ding sound in her mind.

　　[Ding~ Detected host performing Weekly Task, recording starting now, until both parties stop actions (sleep) for settlement.]

　　Ah, this counts?

　　Lili’s heart skipped a beat. It shouldn’t count, right? I didn’t do anything, and Bai Ling opposing me also counts?

　　Sigh, relativity.

　　But this way, Yuan Xiaoling couldn’t fall asleep. If it were settled like this, who would make up for her missing rewards?

　　Nope, today Bai Ling must be pulled up to… hand something over!

　　Just as Yuan Xiaoling was about to rise from bed, she realized brute force wouldn’t work due to the obvious power gap between them. Just that telekinesis alone could tie Lili up and render her immobile.

　　Must outwit her!

　　On Bai Ling’s side, pretending to sleep, of course, meant she couldn’t fall asleep easily. After about ten minutes, finding no movement from Yuan Xiaoling, she finally relaxed.

　　Great, willpower triumphed over ( ) ( ).

　　Now have a good night’s sleep, replenish energy, and tomorrow morning wake up to suddenly attack Lili for a beautiful morning exercise session.

　　Thinking this, Bai Ling’s spirit loosened, gradually becoming drowsy.

　　Everything around became quiet, occasional sounds turning into white noise, like lullaby accompaniment.

　　A pair of softness pressed against her back, then rubbed.

　　Feels nice, massage helps sleep, she thought.

　　Then Lili’s jade legs climbed on top, the girl’s skin smooth like wet soap in the bathroom.

　　Bai Ling remained unmoved.

　　Regardless of white bunnies, jade legs, or jade feet, she wanted to sleep, no negotiation.

　　”Hmm yeah~~”

　　… What kind of B sound is that?

　　The consciousness heading towards dreams paused slightly.

　　After a while, the gurgling sound behind stopped, unsure if the assault succeeded or it was halftime.

　　But she heard the soft voice of the girl:

　　”It’s alright, I know, Bai Ling must be very tired. Even though you did nothing all day, still thank you for your hard work.”

　　Bai Ling’s lips twitched slightly.

　　Even though the girl’s voice was sweet, sounding soft and sticky after the earlier activities,

　　She felt Lili was cursing her somehow.

　　”So, under such hardship and fatigue, I asking you to do things is somewhat unfair to you. My fault, not empathetic enough to my sister… ah no, younger sister.”

　　Bai Ling’s eyebrows arched, the consciousness advancing towards sleep retreated a few steps.

　　”But it’s fine, Lili has grown up, as an older student, and as an elder sister, should understand the difficulties of the younger sister.”

　　Bai Ling’s face stiffened.

　　”Younger sister, don’t worry. Lili is a clever girl, not only mentally but also skilled with hands, taking care of herself.”

　　Bai Ling clenched her fists tightly.

　　”Don’t worry, Lili will rely on herself, won’t seek help from others. Even if the younger sister pretends to be dead beside her, Lili will absolutely, definitely, probably, sort of, not seek help from others.”

　　Whoosh!

　　Bai Ling threw off the blanket, flipped over, pressing down. The moonlight revealed her crimson eyes, blood covering the stars and moon.

　　Rare blood pupils appear, once they appear, blood must be seen.

　　At this moment, looking at Bai Ling’s cold pretty face, Yuan Xiaoling suddenly felt a bit panicked.

　　”Sister, I was joking…”

　　”I’ll show you whose sister!”

　　And then, she unleashed Lili.

　　Don’t ask how, champagne opens how it opens, directly awakening soul power followed by infinite firepower, receiving the full set of hunter fate blessings, elite warrior formed by five mechas slashed fiercely!

　　At this moment, a high EQ girl downstairs opened her sleepy eyes.

　　There was a dim light from the mobile phone, her roommate staying up late playing on it. Above came the sound of bangs and thuds, faint cries of girls could be heard.

　　It was this sound that woke her up.

　　”Lili,” she looked at her roommate, “you’re still awake?”

　　”Not yet.” Qiao Lili answered casually.

　　She knew Gu Hui wanted to say something else, and Gu Hui knew she knew she wanted to say something else, which was—

　　”What’s going on,” Gu Hui pointed upwards, “upstairs.”

　　Qiao Lili thought for a moment and gave her some information: “Upstairs is Xiao Ning and Bai Ling’s room.”

　　”…”

　　Understood, but why, usually it’s not like this.

　　Hesitating for a moment, Gu Hui couldn’t resist: “Did something happen today?”

　　”I don’t know.”

　　[Ding dong, Congratulations on completing the Weekly Task, completion level: S, reward half a tier of Spiritual Power, current: Fourth-tier peak.

　　All skill powers increased, maximum number of water constructs +5, currently 14.]

　　The girl fell limply onto the bed, eyes vacant, staring at the ceiling without any strength to move.

　　The task was completed, Lili didn’t lose, wu wu.

　　…

　　The next day, Luo Zou Cheng and Wu Bian arrived early at the hotel lobby with cheerful expressions.

　　Today was the pre-download and full-scale advertising launch day, they came to report their results to Yuan Xiaoling.

　　Unfortunately, they waited for a long time and didn’t see anyone until after lunch when Gu Hui and Qiao Lili came down.

　　”Where’s Miss Yuan,” Luo Zou Cheng asked, “still not awake?”

　　Gu Hui and Qiao Lili shook their heads, the two girls exuding ethereal beauty, showing signs of insufficient sleep.

　　”I think you should come back tomorrow,” Qiao Lili suggested.

　　”Not possible,” Luo Zou Cheng shrugged, “today we need to report, Miss Yuan should know.”

　　”… Then, wait a bit longer.”

　　A few people sat in the lobby downstairs, had lunch, drank afternoon tea, got bored and brought out a mahjong table, played a few rounds, then Qiao Lili went to play on her phone, the remaining few switched to playing landowner.

　　Time passed slowly, until the summer sun set, there was still no sound from upstairs.

　　Luo Zou Cheng and Wu Bian looked at each other.

　　”Should we go back first?”

　　”I think we should stay here overnight.”

　　Wu Bian’s normal thinking contrasted with Luo Zou Cheng’s recollection of reporting to Yuan Xiaoling at 2 AM last time.

　　And just then, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

　　Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap.

　　The light steps of a girl, but whether it was an illusion or not, they seemed a bit floating.

　　”Miss Yuan, today the situation is great, according to their professional terms, the pre-download volume has already… Miss Yuan?!”

　　Luo Zou Cheng was originally cheerful, but halfway through his speech, seeing Yuan Xiaoling’s appearance, his expression suddenly changed.

　　Pale little face, vacant eyes, leaning on the stairs, walking unsteadily, posture slouched, ready to collapse onto a bed.

　　”I, I’m fine,” Yuan Xiaoling waved weakly, “just a bit tired.”

　　Still Wu Bian had insight, lifting a long sofa to the stair entrance. Yuan Xiaoling gave him an appreciative look, her delicate body swaying, falling right into it.

　　Phew, comfortable.

　　Qiao Lili looked at her roommate’s condition and said helplessly, “Xiaoling, school is almost starting, be more restrained.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling tilted her little face, sighing, “Lili, you should know, restraint is subjective initiative.”

　　Gu Hui understood, thus saying, “Then take it easy, don’t be too… too feminine.”

　　She had already guessed the cause and process of last night, as for the result, it was right before their eyes.

　　Yuan Xiaoling struggled to raise her little hand, meaning it was all over, no need to mention it again.

　　Don’t ask, ask and the answer is Lili didn’t lose.

　　”You waited for me until so late, there must be something important,” she looked at Luo Zou Cheng and Wu Bian, “say it.”

　　Thus the two quickly stepped forward and explained today’s matters.

　　With the all-out promotion by Tianhai City government, almost every citizen who knows how to use a smartphone pre-downloaded the game, even when scanning codes at the market, they’d prompt you to download.

　　As for the promotional slogan, it was simple: if you want to know why ghost apparitions are everywhere in Tianhai City recently, know where’s safe and where’s dangerous, then play this game. Not playing means you’re screwed.

　　Soon, someone asked: why not just tell everyone directly, why go through all this trouble?

　　To this, Director He of the Countermeasures Office didn’t respond at all.

　　Because they had already announced it, telling everyone to be careful of these ghostly things, but no one cared.

　　Some people said it’s because the previous announcement was vague, speaking formally but lacking specific details.

　　Like how ghosts appeared, where the danger lies, what attack methods they used, how to avoid and deal with them…

　　To this, Director He still didn’t respond.

　　Because they didn’t know, all the specific information was with Yuan Xiaoling.

　　”In less than half a day, the pre-download volume reached the expected amount,” Luo Zou Cheng happily said, “by the time it officially launches, our reputation will reach its peak in Tianhai City.”

　　In his view, this game’s release could showcase their influence and status in Tianhai City, new awakened Spiritual Energy Manipulators’ first choice would definitely be joining this side.

　　”And out of curiosity, people worldwide are crazily downloading, even regions we haven’t prepared corresponding languages for,” Wu Bian was also happy, “this time, we’re really going international.”

　　Compared to Luo Zou Cheng, his vision was broader.

　　Yuan Xiaoling nodded approvingly.

　　Although she hadn’t thought much at the start, but given the current situation, it proved she was indeed a genius.

　　Without much thought, achieving this effect, if she put her smart little head to work and thought a bit, wouldn’t she soar?

　　After all, she was currently noble Fourth-tier peak.

　　”By the way, Xiaoling,” Gu Hui asked, “when does the game officially launch?”

　　”The day after tomorrow, what’s up?”

　　Qiao Lili walked over, softly saying, “Xiaoling, although our recent affairs have been booming, I wonder if you remember, the day after tomorrow… happens to be the start of school.”

　　A grand opening ceremony at nine-thirty in the morning, the game officially goes live at ten o’clock, at that time thousands of people standing in the square, holding their phones wiping screens, that picture would be too beautiful.

　　Yuan Xiaoling twitched her lips, truly forgetting about this event.

　　”No problem, whatever, it doesn’t affect anything,” she waved her small hand, “might as well open the server twenty minutes earlier.”

　　Gave a shout to Luo Zou Cheng and Wu Bian, telling them to keep monitoring subsequently, unless something particularly important comes up, handle it themselves.

　　Then dragged her exhausted delicate body, groaning as she climbed the stairs.

　　”Truly worthy of Xiaoling, thoughtfully planned. Delaying the server opening by twenty minutes gives the school fifty minutes, during which most things to say in the opening ceremony could be finished.”

　　Qiao Lili unconsciously sighed, suddenly realizing something was off.

　　”Wait, she said open earlier?”

　　In the evening, the bright moon climbed back above the clouds, illuminating the wine-red eyes of the girl.

　　Bai Ling stood by the window, silently sighing.

　　Last night was impulsive, couldn’t hold back, from an execution perspective, it still ended up as “whatever Lili says, do it.”

　　But she wasn’t entirely defeated, because during the process, she did well in showing “rebellion.”

　　For instance, whenever Yuan Xiaoling said stop, she moved harder. When Yuan Xiaoling said slow down, she turbocharged.

　　Don’t ask, ask and it’s phase rush, ask and it’s infinite firepower.

　　Anyway, at least she suppressed the arrogance of the Blonde-Haired Maiden, she thought.

　　Light and floating footsteps came from behind, along with the girl’s soft groans of “ow ow.”

　　Bai Ling turned around, looking at Yuan Xiaoling entering the room, snorting coldly.

　　Meaning it’s your own fault, bad timing, pretending to be pitiful now is useless.

　　A few minutes later, the Blonde-Haired Big-Bosomed Beauty was lying on the White-Haired Beauty’s thighs, having her massage her shoulders and waist.

　　Massage promotes blood circulation, relieving fatigue.

　　”Lighter, lower a bit, yes right here, ow.”

　　Yuan Xiaoling hummed while enjoying.

　　”Who told you to be so annoying last night,” Bai Ling said coldly, “if you had spoken less, I would’ve fallen asleep.”

　　”That’s because…”

　　Yuan Xiaoling thought exactly to prevent her from falling asleep, she deliberately said those things, doing tasks.

　　Doing tasks, she liked doing tasks the most.

　　”Left left, okay, right below a bit, gently, yes~”

　　After massaging for a while, Bai Ling suddenly realized, wait, wasn’t she doing exactly what Yuan Xiaoling instructed?

　　When she was hesitating whether to rebel, Yuan Xiaoling spoke up:

　　”Bai Ling, do you remember, we start school the day after tomorrow.”

　　”… Didn’t notice, start and start.”
