Yueye: Why Won't You Listen! Why Did You Sneak Out!

Yue Chen rarely showed any interest, but now she pressed on, "What does it feel like to have a younger brother?"

"Actually, it's probably not much different from how you see Yue Xing." Xuan Ye thought for a moment before answering seriously. "They're all important family. When you take care of them, you feel happy yourself."

Yue Chen nodded, a gentle smile spreading across her face as she looked down at her sleeping sister in her arms.

"Yue Xing can be really mischievous sometimes, and she loves causing me trouble. She's even gotten me scolded by Princess Yueye more than once."

She rambled on about a bunch of small, troublesome things Yue Xing had done, yet the smile at the corners of her lips never faded.

"But with her here, I don't feel lonely."

After saying that, Yue Chen paused for a moment before asking softly, "Young Master Xuan Ye's younger brother is probably the same, right?"

"No."

Xuan Ye shook his head with a smile.

"My younger brother is very well-behaved. He's never made me suffer Mother's punishment. No matter what I do, he always gives me the best response."

As his words fell.

The smile on Yue Chen's face slowly disappeared.

An inexplicable emotion surged into her heart.

"I lost."

I lost.

All along, she had been confident that as the Princess's maid, she was perfect in every aspect.

But this time, in the area she cared about most—"family," especially when it came to "being a sister"—she felt she had completely lost to the "younger brother" Xuan Ye had mentioned, whom she had never met.

But...

This couldn't be Yue Xing's fault, could it?

Could it be... that I'm not good enough as a sister??

Then what do I do??

Should I ask Young Master Xuan Ye how he handles it??

No!

That would be admitting that I'm dissatisfied with Yue Xing!

How could I think that!!

Yue Chen's gentle brows twisted into a knot of inner conflict.

Soon, Xuan Ye's quarters came into view.

The two stopped at the entrance of the tent.

Xuan Ye was still a little surprised by Yue Chen's sudden silence, thinking about what to say to break the atmosphere.

But Yue Chen suddenly looked up at him and softly suggested.

"Next time, can we talk again about how to take care of younger siblings?"

Xuan Ye naturally agreed with a smile.

Back in his own tent.

Although tonight's leveling plan had been completely ruined, Xuan Ye was in a good mood.

He lay on the bed, eyes closed, seemingly about to drift into sleep.

But as he smiled, his eyes suddenly snapped open.

All drowsiness was gone.

He reached under the blanket and gripped the hilt of the longsword named "Revenge."

The feel of the sword's handle instantly calmed his chaotic thoughts.

Actually, just now, he had truly felt happy.

Watching the stars with Yue Xing, chatting with Yue Chen about taking care of Long Haochen.

The warmth of those moments was real and undeniable.

But for some reason, a violent impulse surged up from the deepest part of his heart without warning.

He wanted to sneak out.

To find, as fast as possible, those Demon Race Squads lurking near the Moon Demon Race Territory.

And then... kill them all.

Not a single one left.

This thought was so intense that his fingers gripping the sword hilt began to strain, the knuckles turning white.

But he knew those scouts were probably long gone by now.

He finally forced himself to suppress that thought.

The tent was pitch black.

The lights outside gradually went out as well.

Only Xuan Ye's eyes remained open in the darkness, shining with startling brightness.

Murderous intent radiated everywhere.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two more months had passed.

Inside the tent.

Xuan Ye gasped heavily for air, the residual waves of spiritual power still unsettled after his exertion. He leaned against the wall, utterly exhausted.

The moment he lifted his head.

A flawless face, without any warning, appeared right before his eyes.

Yueye had come.

Her features were immaculate, and her violet crystal-like eyes were filled with tenderness and pity for Xuan Ye.

Before Xuan Ye could react in any way, Yueye stepped forward and pulled him into a soft, warm embrace.

A gentle glow of Moonlight Power radiated from her palm as she slowly pressed it against Xuan Ye's back. A stream of pure spiritual energy flowed into his body, helping him regulate the chaotic aura left over from his recent cultivation.

Xuan Ye's body already harbored dark Inner Spiritual Power, so he not only didn't resist this kindred force but smoothly accepted and guided it.

Yueye's movements were exceptionally careful, exceptionally gentle, as if she were handling the most fragile treasure in the world.

Xuan Ye rested in her arms, feeling that warm power course through his limbs and bones.

During this time, although Yueye had been a bit overly clingy and her actions carried a hint of strangeness, her care for him was indeed meticulous.

Yuexing would drag him to watch the stars all night, chattering endlessly about ancient legends.

Yuechen, on the other hand, would discuss with him the experience of looking after younger siblings, and the two of them talked happily together.

This pair of Twin Sisters, his maidservants, grew increasingly close and dependent on him.

Everything seemed so perfect.

The murderous intent in Xuan Ye's eyes had long since dissipated without a trace, leaving only clarity.

But just then.

Yueye's voice sounded in his ear, her tone shifting abruptly, carrying a hint of chill.

"You've been sneaking out all this time, haven't you?"

Xuan Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Yueye's accusation pierced the warm facade within the tent.

Xuan Ye's heart clenched violently.

Over these two months, his strength had long since surpassed what it once was.

His total Inner Spiritual Power was now infinitely close to the threshold of the Fifth Tier—1944 points!

And that innate dark Inner Spiritual Power, through repeated rewards from the "Divine Choice," had steadily risen to sixty-three points, with Revenge's evolution progress reaching 37%.

After all, within the territory of the Moon Demon Race, the frequency of choices appearing was relatively low.

He had indeed been sneaking out all along.

The watchfulness of Yueye, Yuechen, and Yuexing was like three barriers.

Fortunately, whenever the system issued a choice, it would tell Xuan Ye whether he needed to evade Yueye's pursuit to kill demons or avoid the Twin Sisters.

If Yueye was personally keeping watch, he knew he had no chance of slipping away, so he would obediently stay in the tent to cultivate.

But if it was Yuexing, that girl was simple-minded. Xuan Ye could easily fool her with a few words, using excuses like wanting to watch the stars or get some fresh air.

The hardest to deal with was Yuechen. She was meticulous, and ordinary excuses couldn't move her at all.

But Xuan Ye still had a way.

Even if it was a bit embarrassing, as long as he put on an act of a younger brother acting spoiled toward his older sister, Yuechen would instantly soften. In the end, she would still let him out, only telling him to come back early.

The reason the murderous intent in his eyes had vanished completely was simple.

The demons the system had marked as killable had long since been wiped clean by him.

"I already told you, didn't I? Don't go out!"

Yueye's voice suddenly rose sharply, all tenderness gone, replaced by trembling agitation.

"Let you grow steadily and slowly—why won't you listen to me? Why do this?"

Before her words faded, her hands suddenly grabbed Xuan Ye's arms.

The force was immense, nearly crushing his bones. Intense pain shot through him instantly.
