Uh... Please, Be My Guest...

After telling Bai Ling the general situation from the previous night in the courtyard, Bai Ling understood quite a bit.

However, Bai Ling expressed that she was still worried about her master and wanted to go visit him.

Hearing Bai Ling's request, Jiang Lin actually wanted to refuse for her own good, because it was unknown how long Bai Jiu Yi's intellectual impairment would last.

Although I think Bai Jiu Yi cuter now, what if Bai Ling likes that domineering, aloof beauty?

Now the iceberg is gone, only sand sculptures remain. Will she collapse?

Will Bai Jiu Yi's image in Bai Ling's heart still crumble...?

But Bai Ling insisted, so Jiang Lin had no choice. He told her to bear the consequences and went in with her. Besides, Bai Jiu Yi was currently asleep, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

But as soon as Jiang Lin opened the door, what came into their eyes was her long silver-white hair, wearing a cool nightgown, sitting on the ground like a duck, her fair skin glowing faintly in the morning sunlight, her nine tails spread out like a painting.

The duck sat on the floor, pouting. Around her were dresses, and like a little girl, she fiddled with each piece of clothing with her little hands. Her fluffy ears drooped down in a somewhat dejected manner.

As soon as the door opened, a gentle breeze swept in, and Bai Jiu Yi pouted her delicate nose, her eyes instantly brightening.

"Jiang Lin..."

Before the two could react, Bai Jiu Yi pounced and clung to Jiang Lin Jiang Lin, her pearly teeth gently nibbling at his ear, her nine snow-white tails swaying in the air, seemingly filled with joy.

"Great! Jiang Lin, you didn't leave! I thought you were leaving again. I was just about to change my clothes to go find you, but getting dressed is so difficult, there are so many clothes... Great! You didn't leave... Great! Great!"

Jiang Lin, held tightly in Bai Jiu Yi's arms, felt something soft against his skin, especially the girl's fluffy fox ears rubbing against his cheek. Jiang Lin felt like A'wei was about to die again...

On the other side, Bai Ling, witnessing such a scene, stood there stunned, completely bewildered.

"Owner..."

After a long while, Bai Ling finally spoke.

"It's Xiaoling! Xiaoling, what brings you here? Why are you with Jiang Lin...? Could it be that you two..."

Suddenly, Bai Jiu Yi hugged Jiang Lin even tighter, her nine tails wrapped tightly around him, baring her teeth fiercely at Bai Ling as if protecting her food.

"Jiang Lin is mine! I won't give him to you!"

In an instant... Bai Ling froze...

"Alright, Miss Bai Ling came to see you because she was worried about you, Jiu Yi. Don't overthink it. Besides, as I said, I won't leave before you reach the Golden Core Realm."

Having learned his lesson, Jiang Lin raised his hands before Bai Jiu Yi tie him up. With his hands still free, Jiang Lin subconsciously rubbed the head of the cute girl who looked like a kitten.

Jiang Lin only realized what was happening after he had already done it, but...

The head pat seems to work quite well...

Nestled in Jiang Lin 'Jiang Lin arms, Bai Jiu Yi squinted, enjoying his gentle head pat. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she nuzzled against his palm. The combination of her charm and cuteness, coupled with the contrast to her usual aloof and icy demeanor, made Jiang Lin Jiang Lin feel like his heart was about to be completely melted.

"Really? Jiang Lin, you really won't leave?"

Lifting her eyes, Bai Jiu Yi placed her delicate, boneless hand on Jiang Lin's large hand that was resting on her head, and looked at him nervously.

Jiang Lin could even feel her body trembling slightly, as if she was afraid he would run away again.

As if the softest spot in his heart had been touched, Jiang Lin smiled gently, "Yes, I won't leave."

"Really?"

"Real."

"Great~~~ Ugh~~~~ I'm so sleepy~~~"

Nestled in Jiang Lin's arms, the woman gently bit his collar, her beautiful eyelids growing heavier.

"Get a good night's sleep, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."

"Um... I want you to carry me over."

"..."

Hmm... are you Roman too...?

"Is it not okay...?" Bai Jiu Yi struggled to open her eyes, looking at Jiang Lin with some disappointment.

"No problem! How could it not work?"

After some comforting, Bai Jiu Yi carefully loosened the tail that was wrapped around Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin scooped the girl up in his arms, and only then did Jiang Lin realize that the tall and perfectly proportioned girl was actually much lighter than he had imagined.

It's like hugging a ball of cotton.

He carried Bai Jiu Yi back to bed and gently covered her with a blanket. Although her eyelids were drooping, she still held Jiang Lin's hand tightly.

"You really won't leave? You won't abandon me?"

"No, it won't..."

Really?

"Real."

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Yes, really..."

The girl pressed Jiang Lin's large hand to her chest, her breathing became steady, and she soon drifted off to sleep.

Although reluctant, Jiang Lin still pulled his hand away.

Only then did Jiang Lin remember that Bai Ling was still by his side...

"Wait! Let me explain, I didn't mean to eat your master's beans..."

Before the word "tofu" could be uttered, Bai Ling covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes revealing an extremely complex expression.

This reminded Jiang Lin of the "green" looks in the eyes of the girls in his class when they saw the kittens fighting.

"Master... so... so cute..."

Turning her head, Bai Ling looked at Jiang Lin with an undeniable gaze.

"Can I touch my master?"

"Uh... please make yourself at home..."

Jiang Lin stepped aside.

Bai Ling carefully sat down in Jiang Lin's original spot, then nervously reached out her small hand and gently stroked Bai Jiu Yi's soft silver hair.

The moment she touched it, Bai Ling's eyes seemed to light up.

Even Jiang Lin seriously suspected that she had awakened some strange attribute.

However, it's good that her master's image in her heart hasn't collapsed.

After an incense stick had burned, it was Jiang Lin's turn to lead Niannian reluctant Bai Ling out.

Otherwise, he was worried that Bai Jiu Yi would be rubbed bald by her.

After activating the strongest magic array in the palace, Jiang Lin and Bai Ling went to the Imperial Study to handle some business.

Jiang Lin's arrival surprised Bai Qiao, but after an explanation, she understood everything.

And so...

Jiang Lin, who only intended to help, ended up sitting in the middle seat?

One after another, memorials were handed over by Bai Ling Bai Qiao, and the two of them reported various matters to Jiang Lin in an orderly manner.

Jiang Lin was momentarily stunned...

I don't know why...

I have this feeling that I've become the White Empire Ruler.

Something's not right...

I was planning to post three updates today, but I realized there's no comment in this chapter...

This chapter has no soul!

I'll update three chapters immediately after replying in this chapter... I'll use these few days to save up some drafts.
