Mo Lin, standing nearby, heard every word clearly with his Immortal Body and inwardly roared, Good heavens! Zuoqiu Qingyu! You truly understand me! Outwardly, however, he forced himself to remain composed, coughed twice, and put on a stern face. "Miss Qingyu! Watch your words! Miss Yao Yao is pure and flawless. How can she be made the subject of such jokes? If her reputation is tarnished, I'll be the first to object!"
But the nearly imperceptible lift at the corners of his mouth and the excited gleam in his eyes completely gave him away.
Yao Yao was far too clever not to see through Mo Lin's little thoughts. Her cool eyes swept lightly over him, carrying a trace of disdain that said, "I saw through you long ago," as well as a hint of... coy reproach that even she herself had not noticed?
Mo Lin's scalp prickled beneath Yao Yao's gaze. He hurriedly looked away and pretended to admire the distant scenery, while happily scheming inwardly, That Demoness Zuoqiu Qingyu has potential! Tremendous potential! I should properly "cultivate" her from now on! Maybe she really can help me achieve the glorious feat of sleeping under one blanket with them all! Hehehe...
At that moment, Zi Yan, who had been quietly standing beside Mo Lin with an innocent appearance, had a knowing and sly glint flash through her violet eyes.
She suddenly skipped over to Zuoqiu Qingyu, cheerfully wrapped her arms around her arm, blinked her violet eyes, and innocently added fuel to the fire. "Sister Qingyu! That's such a great idea! I've always thought Sister Yao Yao and Brother Mo Lin were a perfect match! If Sister Qingyu joins too, it'll be even more perfect! We can all play together! Brother Mo Lin will definitely be overjoyed!"
As she spoke,
