Now It's Sister Yulai's Turn!

In the laboratory.

After waiting for about an hour, they saw the golden light on the hibernation pod gradually begin to fade.

Su Mingyue, who had been leaning against a chair, immediately stood and hurried over.

As he watched the golden light fade completely, the lid of the hibernation pod slowly opened.

As the last wisp of milky-white energy inside the pod completely entered Na'er's delicate body, the pod, having finished its program, gave a soft beep.

"Mm..." A dreamy murmur escaped Na'er's lips, and her amethyst eyes lit up with a clear, sparkling radiance as she awoke.

"...How are you feeling now, Na'er?" Su Mingyue bent close to her pretty face and asked gently.

"Big brother..." Feeling Su Mingyue's breath on her face, Na'er instinctively blushed. But she quickly came to her senses and checked how she felt.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Her delicate body brimmed with vitality and strength, while her mind was clear. The memories of the Dragon God, mixed with those awakened from the Silver Dragon King, could be browsed like the pages of a photo album.

She could even faintly see another scene. In it:

A beautiful, mature woman with a head of vivid red hair was stroking "her" head and saying something like, "No wonder Leng Yaozhu thought so highly of me as her disciple."

"Are you still feeling dizzy, Na'er?" Su Mingyue asked again, his sword-like brows lifting as he watched her zone out.

"No, Na'er feels great now. Big brother, you're amazing!" She shook her head as she came back to herself.

After blinking a couple of times, Na'er gazed at Su Mingyue with adoration and let out an excited cry.

"That's good." Only then did he lift her out of the hibernation pod. It seemed the Stigmata implantation had been completed as well.

"Then it's lunchtime." As he set her down, Su Mingyue also put away the Void Archives and the hibernation pod.

"Hooray! Na'er wants to eat pretty magic food!" Na'er gazed at Su Mingyue adoringly and hugged his arm, giving it a little shake.

"Alright, alright. I'll serve you some." Smiling, he took her out of the laboratory, and the two soon reached the dining table in the living room.

He removed the specially made heat-preserving Soul Tool that had been set aside earlier, and the aroma of the food immediately filled the air.

"...Hehehe, A-Yue, my A-Yue~" At that moment, Leng Yulai was walking briskly down the streets of the town.

As the breeze brushed past her, she couldn't help thinking that today was especially wonderful.

Choosing to ignore the little sister A-Yue had perhaps taken in on a whim of compassion, she kept her spirits up as she made her way to Su Mingyue's home.

"Sniff, sniff!" Just as she was about to knock, a familiar, nostalgic aroma wafted out through an open window in the wall.

"My, what a nostalgic smell, A-Yue~~~"

She sniffed with her dainty nose, curled her lips into a smile, and knocked on the door.

Inside, Su Mingyue was just about to pick up his chopsticks and eat when he suddenly stopped.

"Someone at the door?" he murmured. A few more knocks sounded, and he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and stand as Na'er watched curiously.

"Who would come by at a time like this? Could it be Uncle Li?"

"Na'er, go ahead and eat. I'll answer the door."

He murmured in confusion, then headed toward the entrance.

Before his adoptive parents passed away, they had asked their friend, Uncle Li, to take Su Mingyue in.

They had discussed it with him, but as someone who had transmigrated, Su Mingyue had naturally refused.

So although Uncle Li hadn't taken him in, he had helped with most of the arrangements for his adoptive parents' funeral.

Lost in thought, he reached the door and opened it. "Uncle Li, why didn't you call before coming tod—?!"

His words trailed off halfway as a wave of fragrance washed over him, accompanied by a bewitching face that suddenly leaned close and loomed larger.

"And who might Uncle Li be?" A soft, enticing voice came from the beauty's parted lips.

Her warm, sweet breath brushed against Su Mingyue's face.

"Gah!"

He snapped out of his daze, instinctively drawing a breath as he stumbled back a step.

Su Mingyue's mouth twitched hard twice. "H-hello, big sister."

"Hehehe~ Hello, little~ bro~ther~" A meaningful smile appeared on Leng Yulai's bewitching face.

She stepped forward and looked down at Su Mingyue. "Judging by your face, little brother, you don't seem very happy to see me~"

It was the first time Sister Yulai had looked down at him like this. Su Mingyue sighed, his feelings complicated. "It's not that. I just didn't expect you to be the first to come looking for me, Sister Yulai."

She had shown her hand and come right to his door. Su Mingyue saw no point in hiding anything anymore.

He wasn't some ridiculous person who liked to play dumb, so he simply admitted it.

"Hehehe, A-Yue, oh, A-Yue! You really made your sisters suffer so much!"

Leng Yulai grabbed Su Mingyue and pulled him into a tight hug, smothering him in her ample chest as the Slime bounced along with her words and gave him a fragrant faceful, too!

"Thieving A-Yue! Bad A-Yue! Lying A-Yue! You rotten A-Yue, thinking you could plan out my and my sister's futures just because you had a little strength!"

As she stormed into the house and shut the door, her resentful words poured out. After being smothered in her chest, Su Mingyue was pinned against the door.

"A-Yue, my A-Yue! Do you have any idea how awful you've been?"

Her eyes gradually reddened, and little pearls of tears shimmered as if they were about to fall.

"...I'm sorry, Sister Yulai. I really didn't expect things to turn out that way."

Seeing her reddened eyes, Su Mingyue felt a pang of concern and instinctively raised a hand to touch her.

But before he could finish speaking, his words were cut off. Leng Yulai threaded her fingers through his and pinned his raised hand against the wall.

"Haah... haah!" After a long, deep kiss, Leng Yulai suddenly smiled seductively.

"I finally caught you~, A-Yue, my A-Yue. Hehehe, this time I got to you before my sister."

Her slender fingers, nails painted a deep purple, traced Su Mingyue's face bit by bit. Leng Yulai's smile grew more and more alluring. "There were so many chances in that life."

"My sister and I both hinted at it to you, over and over, but you big bad boy never gave us any response. Were you pretending, or are you really just a block of wood?"

A flush spread across her bewitching face. She breathed out a warm, damp breath and continued:

"Hehehe, it must be because A-Yue spent his whole childhood buried in research."

"Hehehe, little A-Yue, since I'm the one who found you first this time, you're sure to become exactly the way I want you to be~"

As the Slime pressed against Su Mingyue's still-small chest, Leng Yulai leaned in for another forceful kiss.

Her warm, damp breath and enticing, heady fragrance began to spread, until—

"B-Big brother... Wh-what are you two doing?"
