The Three Hundred Fortieth Chapter: I Haven't Even Said Anything Yet

Lying on the rock that looked like a turtle's head, Jiang Lin put his hands behind his head and watched the white clouds drift by in the blue sky.

A spring breeze brushed against Jiang Lin's hair at his Jiang Lin, and a faint fragrance of flowers lingered around his nose.

Not far from the stone, one could hear the sounds of Nian Nian playing with several Little White Fox dressed in long skirts, along with the clatter of basketballs.

That's right, it's basketball.

Jiang Lin built a Children's Basketball Court for Niannian and the Little White Foxes in the palace, and even made Elementary School Standard League Basketball Hoop.

Watching Niannian with her chubby tail and the fluffy Fox-eared girls dribble a basketball and run around, jumping and shooting, listening to their adorable "heave-ho" sounds, there's nothing more healing than this.

Similarly, a week had passed since the day the news of the explosion was received.

Actually, Jiang Lin wanted to expose his master that day, but Jiang Lin ultimately gave up.

Firstly, my own sense of shame is definitely a reason; if I were to expose my master, I would be mortified for all those past events...

Secondly, Jiang Lin realized that he was extremely reluctant to part with it.

Although it may sound selfish, I already like my master's current appearance very much.

If I reveal this myself, what if my master stops being affectionate with me?

What if I stop crawling into my bed when it thunders in the future?

Just thinking about it made Jiang Lin feel like he'd lost a hundred million...

So let's maintain the status quo for now, even though I really want to know why my master pretended to be mentally unstable for ten years.

But Master must have his reasons. I'll listen carefully when Master really wants to tell me later.

Moreover, after learning that his master had not been seriously injured, Jiang Lin felt completely relieved and much more relaxed.

As Jiang Lin slowly closed his eyes, enjoying this hard-won old-age life, Jiang Lin suddenly felt several soft things rush into his arms, and his arms were also hugged.

"Daddy~~~Daddy~~~Want to play together?"

"Onii-chan, let's play basketball together!"

"Yes, Onii-chan, we want to play with Onii-chan."

When he opened his eyes, he Niannian's adorable face. Her little hands were tugging at Jiang Lin's clothes, and her bright, watery eyes were full of anticipation. Seven or eight Fox-eared girls were also hugging Jiang Lin's arms and gently tugging at Jiang Lin.

Hearing "Onii-chan" (as taught by Jiang Lin) again and again, Jiang Lin's expression gradually became blissfully comical, as if he was overwhelmed by happiness and didn't know what to do.

Finally, after the White Emperor City Palace lifted the order "Prohibition of Contact with Male Humans," Jiang Lin began playing basketball with Niannian and the Fox-eared girls.

This further solidified Jiang Lin's resolve to have a litter of daughters and form a football team...

After playing basketball for half an hour, Bai Qiao came to the courtyard, nodded to Jiang Lin, and then took the Fox-eared girls away to do her homework.

Perhaps being with peers brings happiness, and with Jiang Lin's permission, Little Niannian followed along.

Watching Bai Qiao slowly walk away with them to do their homework, Jiang Lin noticed in this brief time that Bai Qiao was different from her older sister.

Bai Qiao is the type of person who likes to keep everything to herself.

If Bai Jiu Yi is an ice queen, and her older sister Bai Ling is the queen's Chief Secretary...

Bai Qiao is more like a girl next door, or more like an invisible warm coat.

When you're thirsty, you don't need to say anything; she'll bring you a cup of tea.

When the night grows slightly cool, she will drape a trench coat over your shoulders.

Even with just a glance, she knows whether the light is too bright or too dim, and she'll adjust the lamp for you.

Bai Ling and Bai Qiao, one outwardly and the other inwardly, are two sisters with completely different personalities and ways of handling things, yet they complement each other perfectly, and it feels like neither of them can be missing.

However, the only thing they have in common is their temperament.

This temperament is different from the innate arrogance and confidence of ordinary white foxes in the palace.

It is more of a refined, even aristocratic, quality, which is best embodied in their self-discipline and strictness towards themselves.

These shouldn't be influenced by Jiu Yi, because Jiu Yi's personality is the kind of cute contrast between an ice sculpture and a silly goose.

She can be aloof and unapproachable when she's cold, but when she starts to act coquettish, she's like the waters of the Luo River, making people willingly fall into her trap.

Furthermore, influenced by Bai Qianluo to some extent, Jiu Yi's personality is rather casual and free-spirited.

Therefore, Jiang Lin always felt that there seemed to be some kind of story behind these two sisters...

For some reason, Jiang Lin felt that Bai Qiao seemed to be avoiding his gaze lately. She would always be inexplicably nervous when she was with him, and her cheeks would turn slightly red. This had been the case ever since their engagement banquet...

Perhaps I'm overthinking it?

"Hey! If you keep staring at my sister like that, I'll bite you!"

As Jiang Lin Jiang Lin was still watching Bai Qiao gradually disappear into the distance, as if he were a hentai, a voice rang in his ears.

Turning around, I saw Bai Ling, dressed in Secretary Uniform.

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I call this appreciation; I have an eye for beauty."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin: "You're definitely thinking about something filthy!"

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I was just thinking to myself how good-looking you all are."

"Cut..."

Hearing Jiang Lin's sophistry, Bai Ling blushed slightly and reached out her slender arm to shove the documents in her arms into Jiang Lin's hands.

"These are recent reports from the various feudal lords. After the Engagement Banquet, I believe they have settled down, but I'm afraid I might have overlooked something, so please take a look."

Jiang Lin instinctively took the document and scanned it with his Divine Sense without any pretense.

"There's no problem. Those feudal lords are just waiting for the day your master and I get married. I'll lead them into the White Emperor City palace and capture you alive. But you can just report this to your master."

Bai Ling pursed her lips. "My master told me to give this to you."

Seeing Bai Ling's unhappy expression, Jiang Lin guessed that Jiu Yi's trust in him had made her jealous...

But they look quite cute.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"No... that's all..."

Just as Jiang Lin handed over the document, Bai Ling quickly took it and then took a step away.

"Let me tell you! Even though you're going to marry my master, if you dare touch my sister before that, I won't let you get away with it!"

With that, Bai Ling, clutching the documents, ran off, leaving Jiang Lin somewhat bewildered in the wind.

I haven't even said anything yet.

And what's with "before the wedding"?

Just as Jiang Lin was about to lie back down on the stone, a Message Delivery Flying Sword hurtled straight toward the White Emperor City Palace.

After recognizing that this was Tai Er's Message Delivery Flying Sword, Jiang Lin, who already had some access to the White Emperor's Palace array, allowed the Flying Sword to enter.

Jiang Lin's pupils constricted slightly as he opened the Sword Box!
