Chapter 263
If the fans found out, they'd be incredibly disappointed, right?
Kiriwake Yayoi squatted on the ground, questioning her existence. She felt extremely guilty, but even more ashamed of her indulgence the night before. After displaying that silly, cute, and crazy coquettish behavior, she wouldn't have the confidence to call Xie Qingxuan a pervert in the future!
Little Sakura stared blankly for a while, then patted her cheeks and shook her head vigorously.
Damn it, I can't think about it anymore, what if Liuli and Xiao Qing wake up later? I don't want to meet them in such an awkward situation!
With that thought in mind, the girl quickly took out new clothes from the wardrobe, went into the bathroom to shower and wash up, and finished in ten minutes at the fastest speed she could muster, before fleeing this "place of heartbreak" as if escaping.
After Little Sakura left, Chu Yuanqing quietly got up. She had clearly understood Charlotte's hint and gave her enough space to be alone and calm down.
Of course, the reason why the Pure White Witch is also too ashamed to be seen is also because she is serious and meticulous, with a very high sense of morality. She is an old-fashioned person who doesn't even understand internet slang. Her compromise is purely the result of multiple factors.
But...
I really don't want this to happen again!
Chu Yuanqing pried open the Green Eyed Cat's hand, walked to the bottom of the bed, stood up, and habitually straightened her back. Feeling a slight soreness in her waist, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
Charlotte really went too far yesterday. Not only did she insist on coming herself, but she also ordered the other clueless Little Idol to come along, making everyone feel strange. In the end, she and everyone else almost lost their minds, and the situation nearly escalated to doing weird things with lanterns.
If she hadn't accepted the Golden Haired Doggy's little toys that resembled lanterns in time, who knows how terrible the situation would have become!
Chu Yuanqing turned on the shower and began to take a shower.
To remove hickeys and fingerprints, silvery magic dances with the flowing water. As the Magic Particles undulate, a gentle healing spell is activated. A hazy mist washes over the ankles, calves, thighs, waist, abdomen, chest, and collarbone, creating a smooth, massaging effect on the skin.
This is a low-level elemental magic, which can be roughly categorized as a life skill.
Without magic, she would have to wear a high-necked long-sleeved shirt and trousers today, which would obviously arouse suspicion from her daughter in this weather when she should be wearing a Little Cotton-padded Jacket skirt.
Of course, given my Little Cotton-padded Jacket's naivety, she might suspect she's sick, but she wouldn't think she's done anything shameful. However, if the hickey were accidentally exposed, even the most innocent daughter would definitely be in big trouble.
In situations like these, some everyday magic tricks can be very helpful.
Chu Yuanqing quickly finished showering, rummaged through the couple's space for clothes to put on, and walked back to the messy room. She sighed, first taking back the bar and wardrobe that Charlotte had moved out, and then stuffing all the suspicious packaging, wine bottles, and dirty, greasy clothes on the ground into a trash bag and destroying them all with magic in one go.
At this point, aside from the water stains on the bed and the Green Eyed Cat, there is no longer any evidence that they had a music party!
Chu Yuanqing breathed a slight sigh of relief, glanced at her phone, and hurriedly went out to have breakfast with her Little Cotton-padded Jacket.
After the door closed, the Social Anxiety Cat sat up simultaneously. She had obviously been awake for a while, but the scene was too chaotic for her to open her eyes.
Tang Liuli looked at the stains on the sheets, her emerald eyes brimming with tears. She touched her lips with her fingertip, vaguely savoring the hazy experience of last night, and murmured:
"This time it wasn't a dream?"
The experience of being suddenly woken up to attend a music party while sleeping is truly unforgettable. The scene of Charlotte, the golden retriever, and Little Sakura being overturned by Qing Bao yesterday is still vivid in my mind.
Well, if I hadn't joined in, the four of us taking turns would almost certainly have been instantly killed by the Pure White Witch.
So, is the only way to satisfy Xiao Qing to rely on large parties?
The Green Eyed Cat was greatly shocked. It never expected that Qing Bao was so brave and unparalleled. Even the seemingly super-brave Charlotte was defeated in no time and had to be dragged over to join the battle while she was still fast asleep.
This was like the Three Heroes fighting Lü Bu, and then adding another person, but they still couldn't win; it was a crushing defeat.
Tang Liuli didn't feel like she had lost badly. She felt that after eating the chocolate-covered liquor, she had the courage of Lu Bu. After being hit so many times by Qing Bao, she had won big.
Although others were also taken by Qing Bao, it was just part of her own play!
Well, last night, the Green Eyed Cat was stimulated to instinctively activate empathy. She passively experienced almost everything that others were doing, which caused her to spasm countless times during the process. She also drank almost a liter of water during her rest.
So, thinking about it carefully, haven't we won too much? Win win win!
The more Tang Liuli thought about it, the more she realized how true it made sense. She suddenly understood, as if enlightened, and finally figured out the true use of her extraordinary talent.
So that's how it is! All that talk about "motherly love thief" and "innate eavesdropping body" is insignificant. This is the true meaning of the divine art of sound manipulation!
She was still too confused last night. In the future, she can directly activate [Emotional Link] and learn to express her emotions to the audience on stage, just like she does when she expresses her emotions in reverse. She can then input the various feelings she has linked into other opponents or Qing Bao.
Isn't this an invincible secret technique?
She's not just a kissing expert, she's the undisputed expert at music parties!
Tang Liuli was shocked by her own talent. She had always known that she was a genius, but she never expected that she could be a genius in this aspect.
All I can say is that true geniuses are always amazed by their own talent.
The Green Eyed Cat once again experienced the loneliness of being at the top, and her lips curled up, revealing an adorable, silly smile.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Chu Wangshu entered the room, which was quite clean and had a slightly subtle scent. She looked at the quilt, which was in a mess, the sheets were wrinkled and covered with water stains, and a certain Liuli Cat Cat wearing only underwear, with a flirtatious look in its eyes, and was smiling. She fell into deep thought.
Immediately, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's pupils dilated in shock, and she took a few steps back. She slammed the door shut, then with trembling little hands, pushed it open again and looked at the motionless child prodigy on the bed.
In a daze,
The girl looked bewildered. Suddenly, images of the universe and the primordial chaos flashed through her mind. Her brain overloaded with information, causing her to crash. Barely regaining her senses, her face flushed red, and she quickly retreated a few steps as if she had seen something disgusting, stammering incoherently:
"Liuli... you... you... you actually did this kind of thing on Yayoi- nee's bed?!"
Tang Liuli looked blankly at her attire and the mess on the bed, realizing how absurd and inexplicable this situation was. She hurriedly threw on a thin blanket, her lovely face flushed with embarrassment, and stammered, on the verge of tears:
"I, I, I was really just drinking water!!!"
Volume 1: 250. Episode 6 premieres: Qing Bao is about to be kidnapped by a bad woman. (6K)
Inside the room.
Chu Wangshu puffed out her cheeks. She wasn't stupid. Even if she didn't know much about this, she wouldn't believe an excuse like "drinking water" that was meant to fool an idiot. Besides, Liuli clearly looked like she had just woken up. Her camisole had slipped down halfway, and her undergarments weren't properly on.
Wait! Did you just wake up?
It turns out that Liuli didn't have a crush on Yayoi, so she sneaked into Yayoi's room while she was away and did something incredibly wicked on her bed, which was filled with Yayoi's scent. Instead... was it consensual?!
Something's not right, this is strange.
If we follow Nydus's logic, isn't Liuli secretly in love with Qing Bao? And shouldn't Yayoi also secretly love Qing Bao? How could they possibly end up together?
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket realized this crucial information, and the CPU that had just barely calmed down overheated again. Countless undercurrents, unpredictable events, love and hate within the team flashed through her mind. Based on the little neodymium copper she had left, she also pieced together more than a dozen complex relationships between the characters.
In an instant, my brain was overloaded.
Chu Wangshu felt that this world was so unfamiliar, even more unfamiliar than when she learned that her Dad was the Savior and that there were Calamity Beasts and Magical Girl in the world!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
It's all fake!
The girl shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the strange thoughts. She strengthened her resolve and thought to herself.
In any case, at least... at least Qing Bao is still pure and innocent! Among the younger generation, only Liuli is improper! Yayoi might not have done anything at all; there must be some misunderstanding!
"Then you can keep drinking water slowly, you idiot Liuli."
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket's brain was overloaded. She frantically scribbled down this sentence and, unwilling to look at the chaotic scene any longer, hurriedly left the room, leaving behind only the innocent cat who had been unfairly blamed.
Ten minutes later, at the castle restaurant.
Tang Liuli was listless, like a wilted plant, her eyes drooping as she stared blankly at the steaming goat's milk. She felt heartbroken, realizing that Xiao Shu disliked her for a very strange reason.
And... and there's no way to explain this! You can't exactly say she wasn't doing anything wrong, but was passively involved in the music party that Yayoi, Kiyohyun, Charlotte, and Qing Bao were hosting!
This is absolutely shocking; it's like Xiao Shu experiencing the "dark side" of the Entertainment Industry before she even enters it.
Kiriwake Yayoi ate in a daze, no longer as energetic as usual, and seemed very preoccupied. She was unaware that her Little Cotton-padded Jacket had stumbled upon the scene, her mind filled with the vivid memories of last night. At most, she would occasionally glance at Qing Bao, her face flushing with an alluring blush.
Chu Yuanqing was sorting out the specific gains from the multiple people's Magic Replenishment.
First, there's the Paper Crane Can. Theoretically, its level should have remained unchanged, but during last night's Magic Replenishment process, the other origami cranes placed in Yayoi's room all turned into streams of light and poured into it on their own, completing a complete quality upgrade.
There are now over two thousand paper cranes inside. The magic units of 10 [lamp] have doubled, reaching 20 [lamp] in one go. The interest income of the magic bank has increased from 100% to 150%.
The effects of resisting curses and soothing pain have been slightly improved, but the old problem remains: the latter is still effective, while the former is barely noticeable.
As for the lantern's restoration progress, the permanent progress remains at 9%, but the integrity level has temporarily surged to 28%.
Well, this is a progress bar that could shatter at any time. A single visit to the Sea of Truth will wipe out all the illusions, so it's not very useful for reference.
Chu Yuanqing calculated that, disregarding unexpected events such as the curse's return, amplification, and illusion attacks, the lantern's condition would likely drop back to its original level, or 9%, within three days.
Even so, after temporarily replenishing some of the Pure White Witch's strength, her current magic power is ridiculously abundant, with both its quality and quantity tripling, which is equivalent to having a noble buff that triples her strength.
If, before any battle, you deliberately engage in a multi-person Magic Replenishment, stacking mana on top of each other, it does indeed have significant Strategic Value.
As for the most crucial lifespan, it increased by about half a month, but the only significance of this fluctuating value is to increase fault tolerance and ensure that [Pure White] does not collapse prematurely.
Chu Yuanqing collected her thoughts; she believed that there was no need to Magic Replenishment recently.
At least until after the commercial performance, when everyone else catches up with Charlotte's progress, will Magic Replenishment have a new meaning; otherwise, it will only serve to optimize [Cocoon of the Heart].
Regarding this, the team's Little Idol and Charlotte have already been optimized to the point of saturation, which makes the effect of optimization far less significant than the initial effect. It is still useful, but no longer crucial.
--Pat.
Chu Yuanqing looked at the small hand pinching the soft flesh of her thigh, her thoughts in turmoil for a moment, before turning to the smiling Saintess and blinking in confusion.
Charlotte then used the contract bracelet to tell Chu Yuanqing what she had guessed.
Huh? Liuli was broken by Xiao Shu?
Chu Yuanqing was greatly shocked. She quietly observed her daughter, Little Cotton-padded Jacket, who was lost in thought. She felt both relieved and fearful. If Xiao Shu had seen the whole aftermath, her reaction would probably have been much more dramatic.
Even though the child only saw a little evidence on the bed and a silly Green Eyed Cat that had been caught, it was enough to make the Pure White Witch feel uneasy and anxious.
As a result, when six people were eating at the table, only Xie Qingxuan and Charlotte were as usual, except that they were even more youthful and energetic, and radiant, and acted as if nothing had happened. Everyone else seemed a little awkward and something was wrong.
Charlotte took a sip of milk. She was somewhat worried, but she didn't think it was a bad thing.
After all, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket will eventually find out that the seniors in the group are actually her biological mother, Dad, and three stepmothers. It's a good thing that they can see some clues in advance. Otherwise, if they find out everything at once, it would probably take ten days for her CPU to process it.
However, she was the one who brought Liuli over yesterday, so how could she let her adorable junior take the blame?
So, the Saintess stirred the milk with a spoon, looked at the poor, innocent Green Eyed Cat, smiled with a hint of worry, touched its forehead with the back of her hand, and asked softly:
"Does Liuli's head still hurt?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to get that drunk from eating liqueur-filled chocolates."
Chocolate-filled liqueurs, are you drunk?
Upon hearing the keyword, Chu Wangshu quietly pricked up her ears and looked over. Her messy little head immediately received the new information, and she instinctively began to make amends for the Social Anxiety Cat.
Right, Liuli is so timid, she wouldn't dare to go to Yayoi's bed and do something naughty. Could she have gotten drunk and wandered off there in a daze?
That doesn't make sense either. How do you explain those marks on the bed? There must be some conspiracy involved!
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket remained steadfast in her belief, feeling that things weren't so simple.
Charlotte watched, patted the cat's head, and continued:
"You didn't get so hungover that you forgot everything you did yesterday, did you? Do you even remember Texas Hold'em?"
Texas Hold'em? Of course I remember! That's the game that lured me into the music party!
Little Sakura was extremely embarrassed and annoyed. She would never drink Charlotte's beverage again. However, after suppressing the urge to grind her teeth, she slowly realized what Charlotte was trying to do.
Kiriwake Yayoi glanced at the innocent-looking Little Cotton-padded Jacket out of the corner of her eye, sighed inwardly, and replied in agreement:
"Liuli, last night you and Charlotte played cards in my room. The rule was that whoever lost would randomly take a snack from a box. You only lost one round, but you got drunk from eating chocolate and then started demanding alcohol."
Charlotte nodded and retorted:
"I found you a bottle of milk beer, but you drank more than half of it, then spilled the rest on the bed and stayed there to sleep, so Yayoi had to sleep in your room."
Nonsense!!!
The Green Eyed Cat was so embarrassed that her face flushed. How could she be so shameful? Getting drunk from eating chocolate and drinking milk beer? And so drunk that she wouldn't leave the Sakura Girl's bed?
Although she knew these two were helping her fool Xiao Shu, she would rather be seen as a dirty adult than as a weak, playful, and useless cat!
Tang Liuli took a deep breath and sneered inwardly.
It's okay, Xiao Shu definitely won't believe such a lame excuse. She's determined to be called a "dirty adult"!
At this moment, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket looked at the obviously anxious Green Eyed Cat, and received the information that "the wine was spilled on the bed," and suddenly realized what was going on.
Yes, no wonder Liuli lied about drinking water; she's very concerned about her image and still refuses to admit that her alcohol tolerance is worse than that of an elementary school student.
Chu Wangshu felt guilty. She felt as if she had accidentally kicked a cat's food bowl while walking on the roadside, as if she had bullied a small animal. She started thinking about how to apologize to Liuli.
Tang Liuli keenly sensed her Little Cotton-padded Jacket's thoughts through empathy, and she immediately became anxious, unable to help but say:
"Xiao Shu, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not that useless."
Chu Wangshu concealed the pity in her heart. She patted the young senior on the back, gave a comforting smile, and nodded earnestly, saying:
