Dimensional Judgment Descends

The temptation towards Han Yurou was fatal, no matter how you looked at it.

And so, the two exchanged their Contract Beasts.

"How did you manage that? Such a big one evolved into something so cute," Han Yurou said, growing fonder of it the more she looked.

"Who knows? Maybe it was a genetic mutation," Ling Yuan said, gently pinching Larulas's small cheek.

The little one's face flushed with shyness, her cheeks turning red beneath her bangs.

The two walked and chatted.

Soon, they arrived at Ling Yuan's doorstep.

"Alright, see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Aunt Xiao, who was watering flowers nearby, noticed Han Yurou saying goodbye to Ling Yuan and immediately hid behind the bushes, observing Han Yurou.

What a beautiful young lady.

But then her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, there's a stray cat!

After saying goodbye to Han Yurou, Ling Yuan walked into his home and tossed Bella, who was in his arms, out like a pigeon.

Instantly, Bella flapped her little wings and landed steadily on the dining table.

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan comfortably lay on the sofa, a glow emanating from his right hand.

Ophis sat precisely in Ling Yuan's lap.

"Let me go see what those silly kids are up to."

Holding Ophis, Ling Yuan closed his eyes and entered the group chat.

First Prince: "@Maple, I'm done reading. Anything else?"

Maple: "Gasp! I sent you five whole books! You finished them in a single day?"

Katarina: "Grind King!"

First Prince: "Seeking truth, pursuing truth, this is the meaning of my existence!"

Akame: "So persistent."

Eighth Princess: "@First Prince, Brother Hongyan, please go to sleep! You haven't closed your eyes in three whole days!"

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Three days? Didn't only one day pass?"

Katarina: "Yeah, only one day passed for me too."

Akame: "Could it be because time flows differently between worlds?"

Ling Yuan: "As expected of Black Pupil, you're right. The flow of time is different in each world. It only synchronizes when everyone is chatting."

Akame: "?"

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Useless Ling Yuan."

Ling Yuan: "..."

Katarina: "@Ling Yuan, Group Owner, I'm going to die! I encountered my second death BUG today!"

Eighth Princess: "I feel like Sister Katarina's world is so dangerous, with death looming every day."

Ling Yuan: "@Katarina, has the Round Table Conference started?"

Katarina: "...It has."

Ling Yuan: "Then it's fine. Follow the decision. I guarantee you'll be okay."

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I'm curious, what kind of world does Katarina live in? After all, she's in the group chat, so why does she talk about death all the time?"

Ling Yuan: "Her world is an otome game world. Simply put, it's a world where a bunch of guys fight over one girl."

Katarina: "Yes, yes, exactly! And in this world, I'm the villainous young lady! Destined to be killed by the heroine and the male lead."

Maple: "Eh? But I don't feel like Sister Katarina is a villain at all?"

Ling Yuan: "She's just making things up in her head. Don't mind her. In the end, she even managed to capture the heroine."

Katarina: "??? @Ling Yuan, Group Owner, what do you mean?"

Ling Yuan: "Don't worry about what happened later. Your brother Gis has a fantasy disorder. He always imagines himself as a woman and you as a man. If you don't want him to go down the wrong path, guide him properly."

Katarina: "!!!"

First Prince: "Cross-dresser? Are you talking about Kouha?"

Eighth Princess: "Now that you mention it, Brother Kouha does look quite like a girl."

Ling Yuan: "Polite Kouha: You talking to me?"

Akame: "..."

Meanwhile

Monitoring Bureau

"Haven't you found that senior yet?" Wang Jing asked Gu An'an, who stood before him.

"I'm very sorry, Director. We've searched everyone entering and leaving the city, and even all the records, but we haven't found them," Gu An'an replied, lowering her head.

"Are there no strange clues at all then?"

"Actually, there is one," Gu An'an said, handing a document to Wang Jing.

"This, this is!"

As Wang Jing took the document and looked at the photo on it, his expression suddenly changed.

"Director, what's wrong?"

Wang Jing snapped back to attention and waved Gu An'an away. "You're dismissed. You can go now."

"Yes."

Though confused, she had no choice but to obey.

After Gu An'an left

Wang Jing stood up and put down the document in his hand.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the clear blue sky, and murmured, "The little princess of the Xiao family, I didn't expect you to be hiding in Tianmang City..."

"That's true. With your Contract Beast, it wouldn't be a problem to hide from everyone. But why aren't you hiding anymore?"

A gust of wind blew

The document on the desk flew into Wang Jing's hand.

He looked deeply at the photo of the woman on the document, his calm voice echoing in the empty office.

"Is it no longer necessary?"

Chapter 21: Ideas for Bilibili

Time flew by. Chatting with the younger brothers and sisters in the group, it was already evening before he knew it.

Ophis rested her eyes quietly in Ling Yuan's embrace, recuperating.

Belleronus was also lying on Ling Yuan's lap.

The setting sun cast its rays, making everything incredibly warm.

Exiting the group chat

Ling Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the softness and fragrance in his embrace, he couldn't help but smile.

He kissed the fair, small face.

Ophis opened her eyes in confusion, looking at Ling Yuan whose eyes were full of smiles.

She also peeked out and lightly kissed Ling Yuan's cheek.

Her lips, as cute as cherry blossoms, parted slightly. "Master, good afternoon."

But at this moment, Ling Yuan froze.

He dazedly touched his face.

In his entire life, besides his mother, this was the first time he had been kissed by a girl.

So soft...

"Little Phi, come, give me a few more kisses," Ling Yuan said shamelessly.

Ophis naturally wouldn't refuse and leaned in to kiss Ling Yuan.

But this time, Ling Yuan didn't aim for her cheek; their lips met.

The next second, Ophis opened her eyes.

There was something in her mouth...

She glanced at Ling Yuan again and saw that her master seemed to be enjoying it. Ophis closed her eyes again and clumsily cooperated.

Belleronus, lying on Ling Yuan's lap, tilted its dragon head and watched the scene carefully.

About five minutes later

Ling Yuan and Ophis parted.

"Phew~"

Ling Yuan, his face slightly flushed, looked at Ophis nestled in his arms and asked expectantly, "Little Phi, can we do this a few times every day from now on?"

"Mhmm," Ophis nodded blankly.

She didn't quite understand this kind of thing.

But as long as her master is happy, she's fine with anything.

Next, Ling Yuan went to the bathroom to take a shower and cool himself down.

Afterward, he put Ophis and Bella into the Engraving.

He hailed a car and drove towards Han Yurou's home.

Soon

he arrived at his destination.

Han Yurou's home was a two-story house.

Due to the great changes in the world, the city's area had expanded by who knows how many times, making land prices not as terrifying as in his previous life.

"Ling Yuan."

As soon as Ling Yuan got out of the car, Han Yurou, who had been squatting by the door, happily stood up.

"Uh..."

Ling Yuan looked up at Han Yurou, who was running towards him, and subconsciously glanced at her lips.

He shook his head.

'System, do you have anything for absolute calmness? If this continues, I'll probably be seen as a pervert, right?' Ling Yuan asked in his mind.

"Ding! Yes."

The next second, Ling Yuan's restless heart completely calmed down.

He looked at Han Yurou and smiled gently, "You've gotten prettier. Did you dress up specifically for me?"

"Nonsense, how could I possibly doll myself up for you?" Han Yurou said with a blush, acting tsundere.

It turns out everyone has a tsundere side.

But when tsundere is kept in moderation, it becomes a charming point.
