Acheron, Were You Pretending to Be Asleep Last Night?!

Firefly's smile was very bright, as if Lin Shuang had just agreed to something very happy.

The game with Silver Wolf and Firefly didn't last long.

Silver Wolf wanted to continue, but Firefly and Lin Shuang weren't as enthusiastic, so they both logged off after saying goodbye, leaving Silver Wolf alone to continue fighting.

After regaining consciousness in reality.

They discovered that their positions with Acheron had changed again.

Initially, she lay on top of me, but now she lies on her side next to me.

The steady breathing pattered against her cheek, seemingly indicating to Lin Shuang that its owner was already asleep.

Lin Shuang looked at Acheron's sleeping face and tried to move her hand, but found that her other hand was already being held in Huang Quan's hand, and she couldn't move it.

"Asleep?"

"..."

There was no response.

Lin Shuang thought for a moment, then raised her free hand and gently touched Acheron's clean face.

It's very soft and a little cool.

It feels quite nice to the touch when you gently squeeze it.

It was as if even his fingertips had been tainted with the scent of the Acheron.

However, Acheron's face wasn't very fleshy, so it wasn't firm enough to pinch.

"Tch, it's not even as nice to pinch as my own face."

Acheron seemed to sense something, his head shook slightly twice, and then he fell silent.

He stared at Acheron, who seemed completely unguarded.

Lin Shuang then recalled the things this person had done to her before.

As her face flushed, Lin Shuang felt a surge of urge to retaliate.

So Lin Shuang shifted her body and moved her face closer.

Lin Shuang's gaze kept moving back and forth between Acheron's tightly closed eyes and her full lips.

Seeing that Acheron showed no sign of being disturbed despite her repeated approach, Lin Shuang was quite surprised.

"... So unprepared? You used the power of The Nihility when you manipulated me, didn't you? Otherwise, how could I have felt nothing? Hmph, blame yourself for what you did, and now you dare to sleep next to me."

Lin Shuang felt that there was definitely something wrong with how she was manipulated like that while playing a game today!

It's possible that Acheron used some kind of power of The Nihility, or something else entirely.

Otherwise, given one's own vigilance and trust in Acheron, it's impossible for one to be tricked to that extent without being awakened.

She was just playing a game, not taking medication.

And this person wouldn't even admit it! Lin Shuang pretended not to know unless asked.

Sure enough, the person's seemingly dazed appearance was all an illusion. Once he gradually shakes off the shadow of Nihility, his true nature will likely be revealed.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

She's not a petty person; if Acheron really wants to do something, why can't he just say so?

They had to resort to this tactic.

Lin Shuang couldn't help but grind her teeth at the thought of how her pupils dilated in shock when she was frightened by Acheron.

So, without any more inhibitions, he aimed at Acheron's lips and leaned in.

Volume 1: Chapter 91 Acheron, were you pretending to be asleep last night?!

Lin Shuang squinted cautiously, observing the person so close to her.

Acheron remained calm, showing no signs of waking up.

Perhaps it was Acheron's 'indulgence' that emboldened Lin Shuang. From tentative explorations, Lin Shuang gradually went deeper, even reaching out to gently embrace Acheron.

But Lin Shuang was still worried that Acheron might wake up because of this.

Therefore, it did not last long.

After retaliating slightly, Lin Shuang gently released Acheron.

"Um..."

Perhaps sensing something instinctively, Acheron's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips, now rosy and glossy, moved gently a few times.

I don't know if it was the relief of finally being able to break free, or the unexpected deliciousness I was savoring in my sleep.

"... Are you awake?"

Lin Shuang was slightly out of breath, carefully staring into Acheron's eyes, but her soft greeting did not receive the response she expected.

The only response Lin Shuang received was her steady breathing and warm air.

"..."

Lin Shuang pursed her lips, unsure how to comment for a moment.

I didn't do anything, so why isn't he awake?

She had already prepared her speech. As soon as Acheron opened his eyes and asked a question, she would preemptively seize the moral high ground and point fingers at Acheron.

So why is Acheron sleeping so soundly...?

There's a sense of helplessness, like having prepared for ages only to have the boss suddenly stand you up.

A jumble of thoughts churned in her mind, and Lin Shuang raised her hand to gently touch Acheron's long hair on his forehead.

Her hair was so long that it almost covered half of Acheron's face.

Now, with a slight movement of Lin Shuang's fingers, her thick bangs were gently parted.

Acheron's exquisite face was revealed to Lin Shuang.

"So beautiful..."

Looking at the other person sleeping peacefully on the pillow, Lin Shuang couldn't help but admire her beauty.

"Hmm..."

Perhaps it was the tickling effect of the hair that made her cheeks itch, because Acheron frowned slightly and rubbed her face against the pillow a couple of times before stopping.

This action caused the long hair that had been gently lifted to fall back down.

Lin Shuang pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

"You really don't want me to see clearly? You still haven't told me your real name. Are you not going to tell me unless I ask?"

Acheron, of course, just a pseudonym; perhaps this name has been used for a very, very long time.

But it's impossible for it to become the true name of the Acheron.

"..."

Of course, Acheron, who was already fast asleep, could only respond to Lin Shuang's minor complaints with silence.

Lin Shuang poked Acheron's cheek out of boredom.

How could this person manipulate her for so long without any communication?

She secretly kissed him, and before they'd even exchanged two words, she felt there was no response and started talking to herself, feeling bored.

Even if she could do whatever she wanted with him, it wouldn't be fun if Acheron didn't react at all.

"Never mind... time to sleep."

Feeling listless, Lin Shuang reached out and pulled Acheron into her arms, pressing her face against Acheron's forehead and her hair, letting the scent of Acheron surround her as she drifted off to sleep.

On the other side of the Xianzhou.

A piece of news has spread from within the Divination Department today.

The general and the Grand Tutor took the lead, seemingly intending to thoroughly investigate and reorganize the entire Six Commissions of the Xianzhou.

The reason... is that a member of the Cloud Knights offended a friend from the Xianzhou Luofu due to discrimination and abuse of privilege.

The impact was extremely negative.

It is said that General Jing Yuan paid a heavy price to quell his friend's anger, even humbling himself to pay the price for the villain's actions.

Enraged, the Grand Divination Department Grand Tutor the Grand Void Astral Compass to arrest all the perpetrators on the spot.

He was immediately sentenced to the maximum penalty and the case was made public throughout the entire Xianzhou to serve as a warning to others!

The entire Divination Department, and even the Cloud Knights, were enraged when they saw that the proud Divine General, who did not bow down for the Abominations of Abundance, but instead bent his spine because of the absurdity of his own people.

Such scandals are truly the most ridiculous thing in the world.

The Cloud Knights erupted in chaos upon hearing the news.

The general was kind-hearted and believed that such behavior must have been the work of an individual, and that the Cloud Knights would never have fallen to such a low level.

However, the generals of the Cloud Knights, the Grand Diviner of the Imperial Divination Department, and the Helmsman the Sky-Faring Commission Bureau stepped forward. The three bureaus jointly submitted a memorial, requesting the general to order a thorough investigation of the Six Commissions of the Xianzhou Bureau.

Unable to refuse the visits of the three officials, the general had no choice but to order the Grand Tutor to lead a thorough investigation of the entire Xianzhou, drawing on the best talents from each of the Six Commissions departments.

Furthermore, the root cause of this matter lies in the Xianzhou's attitude towards those Heavenly Defect sufferers power. The General ordered the Department of Civil Affairs to take the lead, establishing a special department specifically responsible for this matter, with the goal of completely eradicating the root of the problem and rectifying the atmosphere of the Xianzhou.

This matter caused a great stir within the Six Commissions, with various versions emerging one after another.

The Cloud Knights were indignant; none of them wanted their proud identity to be tarnished.

Meanwhile, the Department of Civil Affairs was filled with wails of despair. Once this troublesome matter was resolved, the entire power structure of the Department of Civil Affairs would have to be drastically altered.

In just one day, the entire Xianzhou Six Commissions were thrown into a state of panic.

The Alchemy Commission was unharmed, but the Danshu had naturally heard the news.

Danshu, holding a high position of power, was aware of more inside information.

No one knew who the 'friend' who had been provoked was.

However, Danshu was told the man's name and background.

The friend invited back by the Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission is powerful and has a 'Emanator' backing him.

And the very issue of changing the status quo of those Heavenly Defect sufferers Realm actually came from Lin Shuang herself.

When Danshu heard the news, the first thing that came to mind was what Lin Shuang had said to him after disciplining those children.

"... So, you were serious. You really want us to become better."

Danshu gazed blankly into the distance, his tightly closed eyes seemingly lost in thought.

"What a pity."

The Abundant Doses teachings have planted quite a few spies within the Six Commissions. If this were to be thoroughly investigated, who knows how many people would be lost.

However, Danshu couldn't bring himself to hate Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang, having only met him once, single-handedly alarmed the general, who then ordered an effort to improve the situation of those Heavenly Defect sufferers.

I heard that Lin Shuang even refused the general's offer of gratitude for this.

What can Danshu possibly criticize?

This path takes a different approach; it doesn't focus on how to cure Heavenly Defect, but rather on getting society to treat Heavenly Defect kindly.

Is this path feasible? Danshu didn't know; it was something she had never considered or understood before.

She wanted to see Lin Shuang again.

The next day--

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom.
